Inter 175A Berline, 1953. Built by an aircraft manufacturer, SNCAN of Lyon, the Inter microcar with its domed roof, aircraft-style steering yoke, and tandem seating arrangement resembled a wingless aeroplane. Introduced at the Paris Salon, it was powered by a 175cc single-cylinder, Ydral two-stroke engine. Approximately 200 were built between 1953 and 1956

Cool project from and by Reddit user Eglwyswrw, a gamebook adaptation of Dragon Age: The Last Court - 'I am adapting DRAGON AGE: THE LAST COURT into a Choose Your Own Adventure format in order to help preserve its narrative. Here's how you can help out...'

Excerpts from post:

"I felt compelled to start this project as a volunteer in order to preserve a playable form of The Last Court that, in spite of being in a very different subgenre of interactive fiction, somewhat keeps a good chunk of the original's spirit... or so I hope!"

"What am I supposed to do if I want to help out? Play it, either on your phone or your PC. Keep a watchful eye for typos, random strings of code that might have sneaked into the text, bizarre balance issues (such as having negative values of something for too long, or having over 100 of them for too long), illogical narrative transitions etc. If possible, screenshot your final stats (at the bottom of the page) and send them to me/copypaste it in the comments so I can have an idea if the balance is OK. A single playthrough of the demo should last, I don't know, 15 minutes? There should be a lot of variations based on your chosen class and choices so please feel free to play it as many times as you would like! When can we expect a full release? Pretty soon I think. This includes over 37000 words and I took about 9 days to reach this point, with almost a third of the story done."

the link has a free playable demo which contains almost a third of the full story, "the prologue + 3 full chapters", "Forever free, available on itch.io".

personally? i enjoy being a fan of characters who have done Wrong. i like when a character is not a perfect victim, has hurt people, has transgressed, has done bad things. sometimes its nice to feel the sting yknow? and to recognize that a character is not a flawless perfect victim, but is deserving of understanding and compassion anyway. a lot of people in fandom refuse to let go of moral absolutism and its... rough.

Sky Cowboys Projects & Community Masterpost

Figured I should have all of the stuff I have going on in one post!

Lore and worldbuilding artbook

The base guide for the lore and worldbuilding of Sky Cowboys. Featuring art of landscapes, creatures, and the human residents of the Wild Winds. You can find it here, hosted by my friends at JobJob. This is the standard edition. It contains all of the same content as the Kickstarter edition in a lovely hardcover.

Web Comic: Greenhorn Trail

When Molly, a young researcher fresh out of school, receives hard evidence of an elusive creature widely considered a myth, she abandons her books and sets out to search for the cryptid for herself… But she's going to have to cross the Wild Winds to find it. She’ll need to hold her own in a pilot posse and learn the "pilot way" of living as they traverse a thousand miles fraught with dangerous chasms, creatures, and bandits.

Greenhorn Trail is a homage to the American western genre with fantasy elements, and is rated PG-13 for action/adventure and occasional language. There will be 10 chapters and is updated monthly.

Pins

Glittery enamel pins of the three pegasus classes - longwings, broadwings, and shortwings in a cute style. They're barn cat approved! Hosted by JobJob.

Discord Community

A place for everyone to chat worldbuilding, art, OCs, horses, general fantasy/nerd culture, and everything in between whether it be Sky Cowboys related or not. I also post sketches and WIPs that don't always make their way to socials. It's generally a family-friendly server so everyone is welcome!

(It is NOT a place for intense debate, politics, personal issues, AI art, or any current hot-button topic.)

I host prints via InPrnt - from pegasi to my horse-drawing posters.

remember kids, the moral of "Irish and Italians weren't even considered White yet!" isn't "because in those times people were so ignorant they didn't think the Irish were white". the moral is "because white is an unreal category created to justify slavery and ongoing hoarding of power and wealth". It's not that you know better about Italians. It's that the boundaries of the higher caste have changed.
