Mayasura and his beloved Janvika, a mid-life crisis marriage that will shake the wheel of samsara from its sundered spoke. The Lord of Illusion is happy though for the first moment in aeons. Alas that a love story can end only in tragedy, and alas that in his sorrows illusion becomes delusion.

Heres a piece-im-progress of the two antagonists from our upcoming mudcrawl module! Written by @brianyaksha.bsky.social, inked by yours truly!

I have a longer post brewing in which I talk about other works in the field vaguely close to my project and how I choose to design with compounding in mind while also reorienting for greater intentionality in cultural represenation. But I need to advertise first. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

The Tiger Princess of Treacherous Tripura

A city-crawl through a profane realm of the subtle divines of Vedic myth, created in homage to City-State of the Invincible Overlord and serving as a meta-commentary on syncretism, hedonism, and orien...

www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... To get straight to it: - 3 adventure sites - 1 dungeon you'll be heisting - A city, hooks, street scenes, oddities, and goods - Myriad factions seeking to disrupt/ensure the wedding - Tools/generators for denizens, goods, as is my nature. - A Disruption Index.

I have been busy as of late so I've forgotten to market and repost this. The Tiger Princess of Treacherous Tripura is going to be a helluva thing, and to my best efforts I am writing it to compound the things you already like - save for a vicious appeal that perhaps a Rakshasa isn't a tigerman.

If you're unaware of what I'm talking about at all; you can find the crowdfunding page here (nearly 500 backers, quite nice.) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Pretty thrilled with having potentially solved a long-standing design issue with regards to the city-crawl; and funnily enough insight came from the destruction of that important document I was howling about a week or so back. Puzzling through it is quite a delight, as are the contingencies to it.

Hey, we just hit the first stretch goal which is me making some lite html generation tools to handle creating bespoke Asura, Rakshasa, and Market offerings throughout thrice-fallen Tripura. Anyone who has followed my process on making said tools in the past knows they make my brain very happy.

So happy this just funded. This adventure is precious: Desi/Indian inspired (rare!), looks amazing and has influences of Amar Chitra Katha comics (my entry point to Mahabharata, lol). Check it out, the next stretch goal is a market/demon generator (commerce and spirituality defines this region).

For #DemonMonth I've been cooking on a city-crawl a la Fever-Dreaming Marlinko; in this case, the thrice-fallen fortresses of Tripura now located in the underworld. Mayasura, the Architect of Earthly Illusions, has rebuilt his grand works - and worse yet; he has found love. That never ends well.

I've been informed that we have funded. Huzzah! Now to go enjoy the worldly pleasures of life; and probably put on some of the 70s-80s films that used to play in the grocery store my mom would go to when I was growing up. There's a lot of nostalgia in this product, but that's post-game talk.

Jambasura from Shri Datta Darshan (1988), speaking to Lakshmi: "No way. Come with me, and enjoy the worldly pleasures of life."

I could go on an extended tangent about my specific attachment to the entities within this work; but it'd spoil my pursuit of the Lynchian "the film is the talking" kind of circumstance. I feel for that which suffers for the want of small joys others take for granted, and how it coaxes malevolence.

Another day of marketing; but we're nearly there. I'm happy to talk about anything going on within it to the best of my ability in-between meetings today. ...Sizable chance I might write an essay about it at some point. Luckily there are design riddles in here to balance out the personal aspects.
