Pills. by Jay Hawking - Fiction Writer, Historian

A break-in for Violence, stealing someone else's estrogen

jayhawking.itch.io

Got to play in the first playtest for GODWING earlier today (The Motion of Light ftw), shit absolutely fucking slams- things change on a dime, in the final stretch I flipped back and forth from being a frontrunner at least three times over and just *barely* dropped down to fourth last second.

live tested a new game today called G O D W I N G and it turns out it fucking rules

The dog is fully related, Luke had him hunt me down when I visited (also I'm doing some Violence in July stuff as well, prolly by the middle of the month it'll be done)

Ossipago, Barbatus, and Famulimus.

Orders for physical copies wrapped a few days ago, but you can still grab the PDF! Immense gratitude to everyone who supported this, we raised *a lot* of money for the El Paso Food Not Bombs Chapter, they've been immensely thrilled- might do a blog post about the whole project as well, stay tuned!

If you were curious what #over/under was like a few months back and missed it, good news!

Hello! I am running an Over/Under like called Baseline Drift. It starts on May 29th at 11am CST. The goal is a max player count of 300~ The Discord! discord.gg/j9WqGudQeH The rules! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Agonizingly sick, please give show and movie recs to combat understimulation

There are certain queer times in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke

Helped consult a bit for this one as well, Luke did a great job of handling a *very* grim subject matter, and it goes to a good cause.

Dispatch's making the rotations in my friend group rn, all finding it to be deeply baffling: lotta Obama-era casual racism, has a faux-leftist rehabilitation stance while treating you as a monster if you push back against sexual harrassment, deffo written for straight guys while also being preachy

Juniper's pretty damn good at art and game design shit, been real lovely watching DQ&D take form, check it out

Dredge Quick and Drown is a project written as a joke attempt at recreating the OSR from first principles. It has unsprisingly failed to do that but I'm very happy with whats come out of it. Enjoy Design Diary #1: covering stats, checks, skills. and equipment. thegardenbelow.blot.im/dq-d-design-...

I repost this in the hope that this is how people find out

I wrote a game in ~8 hours. It's not fun, but it exists. Experience being a young person in the alt-right pipeline, and what it's like getting out of it. Content warnings listed on the page. ambynavy.itch.io/black-ice

Black Ice by Amber Macfarlane

An exercise in becoming and unbecoming.

Reading Tanith Lee and Michael Moorcock while I fly into the UK, *deeply* fucked up that I've only just started reading the both of them given how much their shit rocks.

Buy HyperMall - 5e compatible, winner of the Dorpo Award for Best RPG, designed for found family mercenary stories, Ghibli-inspired anime setting, you play as cute gay animal people just trying to get by, if you don't like that it also has an undercurrent of Christian puritanism, wait come back

I get dizzy thinking about all the money you can get by having less morals than your average used car salesman

Please treat our treasured IP like trash

I only play the most normal and hinged TTRPGs

every single goddamn time i see somebody mention N. K. Jemisin i think about her criticizing the story and then tweeting “well I didn’t read it but”

I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter wasn't actually that intense. A lot of the "queer community" pilloried a trans woman and ran her out of society entirely and buried her literary future because they felt like it and they could taste blood in the water, and that's how all this works.

I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all. thegardenbelow.blot.im/what-is-an-osr

Another big style test, this time a double spread at the actual dispatch size of the publication. Trying to thread a needle on collage style and legibility. Could still do with a little more of that overwhelming full text claustrophobia some of the best mothership zines have though... #over/under

Juniper Harper Lark@juniperhl.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Tentative style test to round out the weekend. Content is very placeholder but am happy with the vibe visually. Need to spend some time with mothership proper rather than just via #over/under before i can really feel confident writing the mechanical parts of this, hence no stats in this draft.

Over the course of the month I drew a portrait or 2(hundred) in #over/under and called them 🩸HEADSHOTS🩸 And @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com said he might put them in the Mothership app so now you can all apply gentle pressure to that situation too! lol drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Turns out, I got one last post in me about #over/under- kind of, anyhow. Moreso about its impact on me as a person, absolutely none of which I expected going into the game.
