I had the joy of creating this Studio Ghibli-inspired illustration for The Children's Adventure from Worlds Beyond Number! An extremely fun aesthetic to immerse myself in for a couple of weeks ;)

“If you can make a spell and then make a spirit from the spell, no need for a collection when you have a factory…”

“When we make our Great Spirits, we make the new world. That’s the world I want for you.”

The road to hell is paved indeed with good intentions. Not expected myself to root for the Citadel, the very symbol of human brilliance, ambition, and hubris. But boy, do I want to see this unfold. And the score in this one? It’s so hopeful, so grand, but at the same time, the underlying twistedness.

Taylor is so good at the sound design and music it's unreal like we're only a handful of episodes in and I can clearly recognize the musical cues and motifs for the different characters and factions, they mention the hospitality of the imperium and I hear snare drums in the distance, like the kind of knowledge of themes and leitmotifs is something I'd expect from someone who studied this formally or has been doing it for years, not someone who literally taught themselves composition for this project

Also Eursalon's theme is so good, please release a soundtrack so I can listen to it on repeat

Audio Drama Sunday lets the curtain fall

Episodes that grabbed me this week

Finale - Brittle Tourniquet - Audio Drama

An exiled trans supervillainess has summoned a forbidden goddess to get back in the game. Things will not go well.

A season finale! With as much betrayal and sacrifice as you could hope to find in one.

Episode 4: For Those Who Couldn't Sleep Either - Metropolis

A murder mystery in neon utopia.  An audio drama, by Lux Radium.  While ace reporter Nan Kanally and the rest of the world struggle through

This one really sends Nan far into the soaring heights and lightless depths of emotion. We get to see her on a roll, riding high on good instincts and good fortune that bring unexpected breakthroughs in her investigation – and capsized by despair, as one of the fundamental assumptions allowing her to go up against the Metropolis establishment without fear is ripped away.

WWW #38: Abassin - Worlds Beyond Number

Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson hang out together and use games to make stories. It's pretty good.

Everybody still using Dungeons & Dragons in your actual play podcasts, listen to this episode. This is how hard your editor has to work to make D&D combat good to listen to. Love to see people setting new bars just by caring that much about telling a good story.

And new from me and @foggyoutline this week:

Vigil: Tailor Made, Act 5 - Merely Roleplayers

Where theatrical people play roleplaying games. Each season our players part-improvise a story in a new genre, with roleplaying game rules p

Another season finale! Again – betrayal. Or is it still betrayal if you only met the person today? Maybe it's just a state agent doing their job, and it's your fault for thinking he'd do otherwise. Also, Jinny retraumatises a postman and walks backwards into hell.

"Why make food when you have replicators?" you clearly have not tried one of Liberty Balboa's cheesesteaks, so overflowing with filth, cockroach parts, and brotherly love that the Vanguard called it "an affront to everything we've worked so hard for" https://ohthesethosestarsofspace.simplecast.com/

so I've been learning blender by making ships from the amazing podcast Oh These, Those Stars of Space.

I started with the only official ship the CSS Cavalier

there's no other official art of Vanguard ships so I just had to make up my own while trying to stay true to the design principals we see in the Cav.

this was my first attempt, it's based on a catamaran and I put the hyperwarp ring sideways which I like. the folks on the These, Those discord named it the CSS Recalcitrant which I do like but I have to admit I've been calling it the CSS Streetlight Manifesto because I think a class of ships named after ska bands is really funny.

and this is my latest attempt, it has the same sort of cruise ship shaped hull as the Cav but I gave it domes instead of the pavilion thing that ship has. I also gave it a big ol' reinforced hyperwarp ring because I think it's a really big colony ship or a deep space exploration ship and it needs to be sturdy.

Rude Tales brainrot so deep every time I see famous blue character Nightcrawler my first instinct is to think it's weird Bellow fanart.
