During the last thirteen years of reading this blog (and maybe my other creations) you've probably learned one thing - I'm really into making weird shit.
This time I came up with a strange idea - an RPG book filled with stuff without any, how to say it, labeling? No clear chapters, no defined purpose of things.
I mean, strange tables and lists, lots of cryptic stuff. Weird maps, plans and schematics (I want it to be a sci-fi or sci-fi-adjacent thing). But I want everything to be fucking unclear in terms of usage. I won't tell you - 'this is the character creation section' or 'this is a monster' or 'this is the PCs starting equipment list'. As I said, I want everything to be unclear - but not necessarily in substance but for sure in its purpose.
Why? Because I create my stuff just because I feel the urge to do so. And I just could produce weird books with absolutely gibberish / labyrinthine / utterly batshit-crazy content not caring about reception or sales because I do it out of passion.
RPGs are games about imagination, not the rules, indexes and structure. Of course - this thing won't be for everyone - but well, nothing is for everyone. And I'm not even sure if I will advertise it as an RPG rulebook - or a setting / guide / field manual or virtually anything.
I have some notes, some originating from years ago, which I will use making it. And maybe I'll even finish it this decade!
Meanwhile - if you want an ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING hard science fiction game - grab yourself a copy of DEATH IN SPACE.
Oh, and the picture is rather unrelated. It's just a Skylab airlock training module.
(sorry for this stream of consciousness - this post may be more stupid than my usual stuff)
