i'm imagining a world where people talk about competitive chess the same way they talk about competitive pokemon and smash

@soleilraine

it's fucking stupid when someone challenges me to a game of chess and they bring out a fucking clock. like, the game CLEARLY wasn't designed for that sort of play, it was made for me to take 10 minutes to decide on what pawn to move

@soleilraine

"competitive players" making shit like "openings" and "strategies," it's bullshit. Karin said that if I want to win by starting the round by moving the pawn guarding the king, I can, and they're all elitists for telling me that's a bad idea

i just don't get why competitive players don't just go play football if they want to play a real competitive game. chess was a casual boardgame first and foremost, and they had to suck the fun out of it with their rulesets

turns out i make maps! infrequently, but i do in fact make them, and i've been told i'm pretty okay at it even. (technically neither of the examples above are completely finished pieces, but they look pretty good so i figured they'd be good choices for a post about this)

Anyway, i'm like a hundred dollars in the hole right now and i would very much like some cash, so i'm going to tentatively open up Map Commissions. for the low low price of just $75 united states dollars, you can ask me to make a big fancy map for your tabletop campaign. wow your friends and/or your actual play video podcast with detailed, thematic depictions of your fantasy world's geopolitics while also giving me, jane underscore, Your Money, which i want very badly

if you're interested, feel free to fill out this google form and i'll do my best to get back to you quickly! thank you <3

alternatively if you don't care about maps but instead just want to give me some money because i'm really awesome and cute you can do that here
