— "It came to me...that I didn't want to be anywhere else in the world at that moment, that what I was feeling at that moment justified all I had been through, because all I had been through was my being there."

(The Magus, John Fowles)

Listen they barely interact face to face but Adam Warlock and Mistress Death have the funniest dynamic of all time actually.

Looks like she just got done living deliciously and enjoying the taste of butter.

Note: both of the movie and book of The Magus by John Fowles are personal favorites of mine.

The Magus & The Oracle

or, my yearly ZineMonth breakdown waiting to happen

Here we are! I can finally spill the beans on what I'm working on for ZineMonth 2024. This year NessunDove is joining forces with award-winning designer @momatoes for the first-ever English print of The Magus, the solo ttrpg about pathos, arcana, calamity, and the infinite loneliness of power... Plus a brand-new addition in the form of The Oracle: a 78-card inspiration deck designed to provide visual and storytelling prompts for The Magus, ttrpg systems, and all acts of storytelling.

I was overjoyed to work on the Italian edition of Magus back in 2021, and it was the first ever print run of the game. Now it's time for a new and improved English edition, with a new layout and updated rules that keep The Magus's narrative-driven crunch intact but supplement it with a new source of endless inspiration.

If you're in the mood to tell the tragic story of a sorcerer's quest for arcane mastery, do follow the pre-launch page on Kickstarter and help keep my anxiety at bay by making number go up.

It's like this btw. In case you were wondering.
