im having an absolute unadulterated blast with the Ethersea prologue for many many reasons, it's beautiful and exceeds all my expectations.. but also. there's many moments here that genuinely make me go "oh god damn, these people are Americans." the Quiet Year system is a profoundly fascinating and revealing game - nothing tells you quite as much about how somebody sees the world than asking them to imagine a new one.

#customizable 'single family housing' the immediate adoption of a liberal economic system hierarchical gvt structures... and fish #especially when the whole set up is such a clear metaphor for climate change as the consequence of industrialization!#'single family housing' just rocked me so hard. that in the middle of an apocalypse we'd use resources towards that kind of individualism #and then they *do* kind of brush against that! with the idea of Community going down because of the inability to connect with neighbours!#the adventure zone #taz ethersea #mine #edit also not to understate that i do find the critique and allegory that is present to be really nice and genuinely exciting #the ending of prologue v goes SO HARD i was out of breath from the excited stimming #and i think my difficulty reading tone made me miss that the 'entrepeneur' thing was a joke? like theres still some #interesting biases at work here but maybe there's more insight than i gave it credit for. im curious about how ol' joshie's bs will develop #autistic anarchocommie netwon moments #also i wish theyd be less anxious about the brinear as a DID allegory i think it could be so interestinggg #we'll see. im really loving this show so far. taz has such a very special direct connection to my heart #i really like what theyre doing with this stuff even if sometimes i wish theyd do a lot more #the ending monologue of prologue v basically encapsulates most of the things about this that i find exciting and cool #i hope the transition to dnd will still allow them to bloom
