"Did you ever notice that all the floors down here are gridded off in light blue lines?" (Jennell Jaquays, The Space Gamer 17, May-June 1978)

Space Gamer, Issue #31

Taken from Space Gamer, Issue #31, released in September 1980, as per the cover. This is actually part of a whole advertisement for the RPG Runequest, but sharing all the scanned pages would be too long.

Instead, read it here, on Archive.org. The story starts on page 4 of the magazine. It's pretty funny, and a cute parody of noir detective stories, as well as Beowulf.

fedorafreak: eureka.

Hang on. Is that...

...son of a bitch. The king is back!

I can't even be mad that it's not actually Dad Egbert, because this is an entirely different kind of treat - and one that I didn't think we'd ever be getting.

I’d long since given up hope that we’d ever hear from Earth again – Bec’s apocalyptic meteor laser seemed to have bookended that chapter fairly unambiguously. How, then, did Homestuck’s favourite normie survive such a cataclysm?

fedorafreak: yes. it is as hoped for beyond hope. fedorafreak: unusual devices may be used to duplicate fresh, perfectly pressed garments. inexhaustibly, afaik.

FedoraFreak is a fucking Sburb Player.

This is the best day of my life. I've always wondered about how Earth's other sessions are going, and this is the one we get to see?

This is the greatest gift Hussie could give me. This is my Christmas.

fedorafreak: alas, devices appear to hold no such promise for departed family members, misplaced hand-held steam press.

He’s had a pretty rough time, though, which is par for the course when you’re playing this game.

Departed family members are a given, but all hope is not yet lost. If they're Players too, he might still be able to reunite with them in the Dream Bubbles - but sadly, I don't think the Gods will be preserving the soul of his steam press. Guess he'll just have to prototype it!

fedorafreak: now combining expensive leather pipe tobacco sleeve with handsome, gray fedora. fedorafreak: to document result shortly. fedorafreak: resulted in hat w/ outlandish and frivolous appearance. fedorafreak: do not care for; shall discard immediately.

Alchemy, of course, is far too twee for our king. Perhaps, with some experimentation, he can make some business-themed gear which is both serious and viable?

fedorafreak: made unwelcome determination. production requires expense of glittering abstractions called grist. fedorafreak: such jewels remaining in cache, libation in reserve, at premium. fedorafreak: consumed final swallow of carefully rationed urine. soon to seek water elsewhere in exotic new surroundings.

Damn, dude. You can’t even field the grist cost for water? Fedorafreak is clearly having a lot of trouble with Sburb’s earlygame.

John did a lot better, but he had a lot of help from Nanna early on, and Fedorafreak’s lack of familiarity with the game’s mechanics suggests that his sprite is inert.

He also hasn’t mentioned a server player, so he the poor man might be completely alone, with no context for the tragedy which recently tore his life apart. He may have escaped the apocalypse, but things still are looking pretty grim for our serious businessman.

i love when different forms of art ask "was it real? does it matter that it was? does it matter that it wasn't? did it hold meaning? does it still?"

105. One Bed Part 2

I saw that trend of inverse tropes and couldn't help but make the situation from part one worse.

First contact, or a miscommunication about which miniatures you were supposed to bring to tonight's game (John Karp, The Space Gamer 17, May-June 1978)

Waiter !11 Waiter.... !!! more platonic content of David giving Max much needed parental affection pls 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Also I like the idea of mum-Gwen with Spacekid, and I see Gwen and Max's dynamic more of a sister or aunt thing than mother. Also Nikki and Neil being step siblings is both hilarious and sad and I love their dynamic bc they were sibs from the start guys /j
