cleaned-up dispatches from the sketchbook, where I am avoiding many different responsibilities (including the historical litfic I have to read for work...) by doodling terrible memes

Sometimes a family is a beleagured ex-general moonlighting as a mild-mannered refugee math teacher, a sad clone child unwillingly moonlighting as a middle-aged ex-mass-murderer unwillingly moonlighting as an eldritch abomination, a quantum hyperspace lifeform moonlighting as a spaceship, and a robot secretly wishing alcoholism was an option because SERIOUSLY WHAT THE [EXPLETIVE]

Ah Yes, Jedao Two, or, as I like to call him, Mothman,

So I bought and downloaded Heretical Geese and I have a few thoughts.

Haven’t played yet, but AFAICT you basically get to argue ethics and eat dice so it sounds fun and I’m excited to force my friends into enduring my pathetic attempts to GM

(It’s a Hexarchate-influenced standalone tabletop game. It’s pay-what-you-can and suggests $3. Download here: https://yhlee.itch.io/heretical-geese )

Heretical Geese by Yoon Ha Lee

A miniature hexarchate tabletop RPG about ethics.

The players are all students training to join an elite assassin corps called the Foxes.

Basically, you’re at Shuos Academy, but Mr. Lee has decided not to throw the heavy worldbuilding with made-up words into this two-page player’s guide, which is sensible.

Yes, with this game, you too can leave your ordinary life and be a Shuos cadet. I am Nirai from a disgraced Andan/Liozh blended family, but I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t an exciting idea. Just be careful of Hexarch Mixodez.

Revenant Gun spoilers under the cut:

Your instructor is interested in games, geese, and ethics and has assigned this exercise accordingly.

Jedao. Huge headcanon that our instructor is the Immolation Goose Himself. Remember how Revenant Gun ended with Jedao Two taking a job to research and develop ethics curricula for Shuos Academy? This is one of his lesson plans.

So basically, my first attempt at GM for a TTRPG of any kind is also my chance to impress Jedao. Whew way to take the pressure off /s.

I’m pumped to play this.

Alright, finally got around to adding my MoE fics to the master page.  I thought I had at least two of them already on there...nope! Fixed.  Linked on main page and soon a pinned post.  Housekeeping is in progress.

I wanna know what it feels like I wanna know what it feels like To be one flame in a fire To be one voice in a choir

I know I shouldn't feel like this But I know life shouldn't be like this Tell me is there something I've missed Why do I feel like this...?

Give me love The human kind I wanna feel the pain of humankind

Open eyes under closed eyelids I see the sky turn violent I can see myself inside it Suffering in silence

If the wind can change I can change too If pain is real than I am real too And just once before I die I wanna know what it's like to be alive

Give me love The human kind I wanna feel the pain of humankind

Give me love The human kind Oh, I wanna feel alive...  

Give me love The human kind I wanna feel the pain of humankind
