Oh my god there are going to be so many stories about this guy dying

I'm pretty proud of it for how fast it came together!
As soon as i read the line about the binder colors I was just like "oh -fuck- they're somewhere Else" and was just gripping my seat reading the rest
The Lathe of Heaven is one of my favorite novels ever, and this was taking that book and the Lancer RPG core book, pushing them together, and saying "now kees"
I'm eating good
Very much like the intrusion of such a mundane object as a procedural manual cataloguing the fantastic - that humanity has been clubbed over the head so many times by such High Weirdness that it already knows where the pataphysical Pedialyte is kept
In the setting this is loosely in, the company they are supposedly working for in the end really puts the Corpo in Corpo-state. Other corps and govs probably have much different ways of handling paracausal events, but IPS-N 100% would be like "please fill out this paperwork about how your understanding of reality shattered, and we will compensate you according to company policy in 4-6 months"
I'm glad you liked it! I'm very happy with it and the response it's gotten.
1: that's incredible
2: of fucking course ips-n handles it by writing a manual. Not even galsim could foresee any other outcome. Christ the Buddha...
1: thank you!
2: listen, SSC and HORUS both think they have a monoply on weird shit™, but IPSN is a business leader. They have to keep up somehow, and if nothing else they like things done by the book.
(I've been kicking around an idea inspired by things like CONTROL and the Southern Reach, and IPSN is the perfect mix of corporate and in a setting full of existential terrors)
^ w ^;; I'd like to think I'm clever, but that's giving me a little TOO much credit, haha. I just love mechs and have a headmate with an "office" kink
And you got all those words written down about it. I am having massive trouble getting myself to do so, with my projects, so I respect that a lot.
That's fair! But also, for every one of these there's ten half-finished stories in drafts, 100 notes that are like 'hey here's an idea for later', and a thousand things that never even make it out of my head. Sometimes it's just a matter of inpsiration and flow lining up in a moment! I may have spent decades working on becoming a writer, but don't sell yourself short! Creating takes a lot of effort, and even if you're only able to create a little at a time, that's a lot farther than most folks get.
Oh, I know, I'm turning 40 I've been doing this long enough to know. Most geniuses are only so part of the time, and it only takes once at the right time to be recognized. I so name you, and that's my compliment to give.
oh I'm gonna be thinking about this one a lot today (positive)
Fuck dude I adore this, really good format for existential crisis.
Is this all Lancer related? I recognised IPS-N but haven't read the books yet because I had no opportunity to play a game.
Not a dude, but
It's lancer adjacent. The goat head man mentioned was a tabletop character in a friend's campaign and he's become a recurring problem across the timelines. You might think of it as the main characters getting accidentally dropped into the lancer universe.
Glad you liked it!
Neat!
Sorry about the dude thing. I treat it as gender neutral but I forget not everyone shares that.
