A more accessible version for $7 will be available on Patreon and on Lulu on the 21st of August, by which time I will be well into the October issue. I'm very excited about September's offer because it allows me to demonstrate the greater scope of the project. My goal from the beginning was not to just produce the same concept with the same headings month after month, or use the same voices, but to create a collection of broadsheet "contributors" that will become occasional entities... while at the same time building the setting out, not just within the scope of Devonshire, but in fact the whole world.
I'm very excited about what I have planned for October, though I won't say a word about that. Meanwhile, please enjoy the easter eggs scattered through the second issue, as it lends greater depth and context to the first.
Venture into the Upper Exe is absolutely harrowing. Bad Water at the Mouth is an excellent example of simple physical constraints spinning out into a compelling story.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated. I assume you've read it all the way through now.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. The more I think about, the more I'm honestly impressed by the complexity of Bad Water. Two events, a drought and a rough sea voyage, leading to a terrible confrontation between two forces competing over the same resource. This isn't a simple good guy vs bad guy narrative. This is tragedy and adventure can be drawn out from some very basic needs. Thanks for this. Gives me some interesting plot points to introduce to my campaign.
