still reading homestuck,

got to the part where we see the troll game.

There's this guy that thinks he's the cat girls boss which made me incredibly uncomfortable...

And now we're at the part where he actually gets introduced and he goes to this other dude like "boss me around, I've misbehaved, put me in my place" and I'm like... [insert "didn't you forget to ask someone for consent meme" (but it's me the reader that wasn't asked)]

Narcissist: Antedesertium

Narcissist: Antedesertium, Aetherco, 2006?

Narcissist is a dimension-traveling game that revolves around a central timeline, ostensibly our own world. Your characters ("Drifters" or "Crashers") skip in and out of that timeline, creating new worlds in an attempt to generate the perfect one they want. You can find my review of Narcissist back in mid-November 2023.

The future of the central timeline is home to the Inheritors, post-human people with advanced technology and incredible psychic power. In its past, from the years of about 18,000 BC to 14,000 BC, is a period known as Antedesertium. This era is home to the Inheritors' opposite numbers: the Kings of Yrnë.

The Inheritors seek to preserve the central timeline, apparently successfully. The Kings of Yrnë seek to splinter it, a task at which they eventually fail. There are millions of Inheritors; they may actually compose the majority of living beings after the Hour of Inheritance (sometime around 2221). There are twenty Kings of Yrnë. The Inheritors look like "grey" aliens, but still basically humanoid. The Kings of Yrnë look like nothing that was ever remotely human - and yet each of them once was.

The Antedesertium supplement for Narcissist details the era when the Kings of Yrnë ruled the world. It describes the Kings themselves, the non-dimension-traveling people of Yrnë, and the many forking timelines that clutter these four thousand years. It's an incredibly chaotic period. The farther downstream (into the future) one goes, the more overlapping, shattered worldlines stack up upon one another, until the Interregnum, when a massive explosion shifts the Earth's axis and turns the Sahara into a desert.

The descriptions of the Kings of Yrnë set them up as driving forces for the game, the same way that 13th Age does with its Icons or Exalted does with the Deathlords. Seven of them get multi-page writeups of their personality, powers, goals, and supporting characters. The rest get about a half-page each. The people of Yrnë get a 20-page chapter, which honestly feels a little short to cover 4000 years of history. Three main time periods are covered: the rise of the Narcissists when the Kings were still honorable, the turning point when things start to go wrong, and the chaotic end-times before the Interregnum. The book does a good job of not falling into the usual tropes one sees depicting Africa and/or prehistoric times. People are described as, well, people, rather than as animalistic idiots.

Art and layout are very similar to the rest of the books in the series. Each King gets an illustration, some of them simple and concrete (a black dome), others abstract and confusing. It's serviceable.

The best part of Antedesertium is that it's full of plot hooks. There are over a hundred mysteries, side characters, cool moments, and whims of the Kings that could provide grist for the adventure mill. The weak part is that there isn't much that ties them together. The book seems to assume that the GM will be creating antagonists using Span 4 or 5 characters from Continuum. I suspect a lot of games will pit a group of Narcissists against the servants of other Kings in an attempt to bend the timeline to their will, rather than protecting Yrnë from its actual enemies. Still, I'll take 100+ plot hooks over the one half-baked adventure that most games have. The best piece of GM advice it gives is that most of the inconsistencies in the book are intentional. In a game like Narcissist, every plot hole is a plot hook.

My copies of Narcissist and Antedesertium arrived unexpectedly in the mail quite a while back. I still haven't found any reputable sources for physical or PDF copies of the books, but I'll keep looking.

Fantasy Exhibition

‘Inchkeith 2221 exhibition mock-up’ - digital concept art by Damián Portela.                       

Inchkeith 2221 ‘As the alphabet is surpassed, thought will liberate itself from speech, and other, nonlinguistic thought (mathematical and pictorial, and presumably new ones as well) will expand in ways we cannot yet anticipate.’ (Flusser 63)

The coronavirus outbreak of 2020 was just the tip of the iceberg. After a succession of pandemics and consequent recessions the world began to rethink its methods of making money, and capitalism soared to dizzying heights. People were urged to place less emphasis on recreational activities in favour of using their time productively. This concept when coupled with new technologies meant that handwriting became obsolete. The human race became so dependant on everything being immediate that it was decided long ago that to write by hand was a waste of both time and resources, both of which cost money. As a result, all communication in 2221 is conducted by thought and transmitted digitally. Artefacts, artworks, books, manuscripts and documents have been digitised. The information exists, just not in the physical sense. Objects require space, and space can be used more profitably for housing and businesses and suchlike.

My proposal has been accepted to exhibit at the World Record of Inscriptions, Transcriptions and Expressions (W.R.I.T.E.) and aims to re-introduce the reality of the written mark to the people of 2221.   

The work that I will present will be divided in to two acts in separate rooms. Act One will be an exhibition of the body of work I have made during my third year of study. This celebration of the performance of asemic writing has been a record of my thoughts and feelings throughout the pandemic, and so is an appropriate subject matter for a future world that has been so shaped by the aftermath of a string of pandemics. I have allowed these works to be digitised so that they are in keeping with what the people of 2221 would expect from an exhibition space in this time.

Act One takes place in a vast open expanse of white walls that exude a clinical coldness. This is typical of the architecture of this era - minimal distractions from the lack of decor and no furnishing meaning that every space is multi-functional and able to maximise profitability. There are a series of podiums on the floor that light up from above, hologram recordings of my performance writings are displayed here. The works on paper are projected away from the edges of the room, in such a way that the audience can walk around them. It is important in 2221 to obtain as much information as quickly as possible, and as such, mounting a work on the wall would leave questions as to what is on the reverse, and having questions means looking for answers, and this requires time, which as we know, time is money. 

The handwritten mark is a foreign concept in this era, and so I would hope that the intrigue of my performances and artworks would peak the curiosity of the audience. They will be invited in to a second room where Act Two will take place. Act Two takes its inspiration from the ideas of James IV of Scotland’s language experiment on the island of Inchkeith. He was curious to discover what verbal language two infant children might speak if they grew up isolated from the influence of society. I too am curious to learn what the handwritten language of the population of 2221 might look like considering they have not had the opportunity to explore this tactile mode of communication before.

Act Two is also influenced by the handwriting teaching methods of Martin Andersch, and offers a range of physical drawing implements to be interacted with and explored. I propose a collaborative and interactive experience that obscures the distinction between artist and spectator. How might someone even hold a drawing or writing instrument if they have never seen one in the physical sense before? The population are taught from a young age how to recognise letterforms and how to transmit these communications through various advanced technologies, but they are never given a pen to hold. They are not taught how to perform these glyphs on the page as we are today, as this is not deemed an efficient use of time. I should make it clear that these notions are not laws, but are attitudes that have been adopted and developed over time. That is not to say that these works will be welcomed with open arms, they might appear rather primitive against their progressive modes of communication. I would encourage all attendees to approach the activity with an open mind and the works made would be displayed as a tangible record of these receptive happenings.

On my return to 2021 I will document the development of these works into publications that will become not only a concluding creative output, but also a memento of the importance of the gesture of handwriting - expressing our personality and individuality. This exhibition will serve as a reminder to slow down, not race towards unachievable ideas of being productive at every waking moment, not to place so much importance on existing in a digital space, and to enjoy all the benefits that come from being physically present.

All-new stories and classic reprints offer a heady mix from Rebellion in the next few months

2000AD was back to its “normal” format this week after its latest Regened edition, and the first episode of the new “Thistlebone” story in Prog 2221 proved a definite page turner (no spoilers!). I’m looking forward to the collection of the first story of this cracking folk horror series, out in April – and a lot more great collections are on the way, too, including a long-awaited third collection…

Here are my own instructions on how to fill out the entry form and mail your work:

Entry form instructions:

The entry form is the slip at the bottom of the second page of the pdf here.

Beginning from the top left, お名前 is where you write your name. If you need help putting your name into katakana, you can message me.

The smaller blank above that, ふりがな, is where you’ll put the hiragana that show how your name is read. This is mainly for names that are in kanji, since their reading isn’t always obvious. If your name is written in katakana, just write the same characters in hiragana in this blank.

The next blank below the name, お住所, is your mailing address.

Below that is お電話, phone number.

At the top right we have 作品タイトル, the title of your work.

If you’re a student, you can choose whether you’d like to fill out the rest of the right side with 学校名, the name of your school, and 学年, your grade level/year in school.

Mailing instructions:

Depending on your country’s postal system, you may be able to simply copy the Japanese address, or you may have to write it out in romaji your match your country’s format. You’ll have to do your own research to find out what’s allowed.

For the Japanese address, just copy this:

〒689-2221 鳥取県東伯郡北栄町由良宿1414番地 青山剛昌ふるさと館 「名探偵コナンイラストコンテスト」係 JAPAN

To put the address into romaji, you may need to change things around, but this is the formatting for US mail:

Meitantei Konan Irasuto Kontesuto Aoyama Gosho Furusatokan 1414 Yurashuku, Hokuei-cho, Tohaku-gun Tottori-ken 689-2221 JAPAN

You may be able to include both languages by alternating lines, like this:

「名探偵コナンイラストコンテスト」係 Meitantei Konan Irasuto Kontesuto 青山剛昌ふるさと館 Aoyama Gosho Furusatokan 東伯郡北栄町由良宿1414番地 1414 Yurashuku, Hokuei-cho, Tohaku-gun 鳥取県 689-2221 Tottori-ken 689-2221 日本 JAPAN

Regardless of which method you use, be sure to add JAPAN in capital letters to the end of the address. Please note that I’m not an expert on international mail, and this advice comes solely from my own google search on how to send mail from the US (where I live) to Japan.
