The West, the Waste

Image
There’s definitely alternative forms of knowing, alternative things to know, which the force of law has prevented us from accessing. There’s kinds of ways we could transform peoples’ perspective if they were open to it. Poetic powers, to grant hopelessness and red-fire courage to others. The rule of law imposes itself on us, and these avenues are closed. The city is a place of things that cannot move, can only crumble. When people crumble in those cities on the east, they flee to the rocks and shrub-wastes of the west, where the wicked sun picks the sweat from their skin for itself to drink. The cities are choked with people and within the miasma of the infernal industry. Babies drink in the demon smoke before they’ve learned to stop crying; it shuts them up real quick. Kids these days don’t have a light in their eyes, the shivering folk who’ve made it out will tell you.  The west is full of broken people too. Bandits haunt these roads. The only surefire way to break a bandit’s curse i

Derelict-Crawl Ideas: Piloted Asteroids + Wildcatter Class

 I'm reading the book The Sparrow  by Mary Doria Russell right now. It's pretty decent, though I have some bones to pick when it comes to pacing, incorporating themes and background knowledge (in a way that doesn't feel forced) and the general hesitancy I feel of the author in writing it, but maybe she was just chomping at the bit to get to the extremely meaningful part of the book and I'm in for a hell of a turn. Either way, there's a  concept that gets introduced about 100-150 pages into the book-- the idea that asteroids are piloted as ships of their own and are self-sufficient, providing their own fuel. I'm not particularly interested in the actual  scientific possibility of this, just in converting the method detailed in the text to gameable material for Archon's Court's derelict-crawling game ( Orbiters Local 519 ). There's a few different places they mention the procedures involved for achieving this: Massdrivers, Lifepods, Miner's Quarte

How to See Spirits / d5x5 intimations of the Spirit of Pyre-Shadows

Image
This post is for the That We Are So Much More Setting . But it's also for the setting outlined by Magic as Radiation: Enter the Spirit-World , and a new setting I'm creating which incorporates the Spirit-World into it. How do we see spirits? In order to see spirits, you must be a talented semiologist, who believes her signs to be symbols. When the rams raise their heads at a wolf's cry, it is the Epimeliad raising their heads; they pay attention, and the Epimeliad watches too, because when they attend to that which the Epimeliad attends to, the Spirit abides in them. When the sheep encircle the lambs as the wolves circle, the Epimeliad guides their steps and inheres in their geometry; the instinct to protect the young is the motivation of the Epimeliad, and the geometry of the circled flock is a manifestation of that protective spirit, and thus of the Epimeliad. In those ramblings, I named a few signs of the Epimeliad. I'll add a few more at the end of this list: The a
