A CLOUD DOESN’T EXIST. IT’S A COLLECTION OF WATER PARTICLES THAT HAVE ACCIDENTALLY TAKEN SHAPE. YOU’RE A MEAT CLOUD. YOU DON’T EXIST EITHER

This is a thread if you are thinking about publishing your own work or wonder about the cost differences between major publishers and indie designers. A lot of it is about economies of scale. Any time someone talks about the real numbers it’s worth taking the time to read.

Inreasingly thinking about a riff on ‘are we the baddies’ as the spine for a campaign. The party were the archvillains, they succeeded in their goals. Everything is terrible. Now they are left to try to make something better out of the wreckage they created.
