...I have been following this blog since 2018/2019.<br /><br />A year ago, I ran a MoSH Scenario for my players where they encountered an uplifted octopus with a revolver in the depths of a Europan Biolab. A few days from now I plan to run another one. Out of the list of Scenario titles I offered them, they nearly unanimously picked "Get in loser, we're hunting space fascists."<br /><br />Your archived thread in Escape from Bluebird Hellsite, about how authorship is so often scrubbed from art, made me consider whether it was acceptable for me to take so much from your blog. However, while I have stolen from your slush pile for my gaming table and my own idea repository, the quality I most admire in your work is that it makes me want to create. <br /><br />I keep my own list of Convictions now, and roll personalities with it. Every 'anomalous' creature or item you post has me eager to explore and extrapolate. "A Planet Called Shithole" is so good I want to write a short story set there. “Get in loser, we're hunting space fascists” is such an excellent title that the entire setup, character roster and setting for the scenario just sort of unfolded in my brain. <br /><br />I have written, gamed, and created more because of your writing. Thank you. <br /><br />(In addition, Escape from Bluebird Hellsite is excellent, as I had no doubt it would be.)<br /><br />(In additional addition, thanks for introducing me to Dorohedoro. It is indeed always time for Noi appreciation.)The Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03586769574725180459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-41679881638905578712023-02-04T05:03:26.776-05:002023-02-04T05:03:26.776-05:00Have been greatly enjoying reading your thinking a...Have been greatly enjoying reading your thinking about hard scifi and the slushpost series are always gold - congratulations and looking forward to reading on!Xaosseedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921003959109753612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-36702313448660874092023-02-03T22:43:22.777-05:002023-02-03T22:43:22.777-05:00Thanks for reading!

It's always a little bit surreal hearing folks say they got into this scene because of my work, but it's also always a morale boost.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-83703534898734883582023-02-03T21:28:42.316-05:002023-02-03T21:28:42.316-05:00Congratulations Dan on this hollowed occasion! 500...Congratulations Dan on this hollowed occasion! 500 is a big number. I wanted to let you know that, in 2020 - 2021, when I was locked in the prison known as Severe Clinical Depression, I found your blog. I didn't know anything about the OSR or blogging, and you inspired me to enter both. It has (and continues to be) a hard path to walk. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas with the world.Zackaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128104022169197380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-60837517648041098502023-02-03T21:03:11.159-05:002023-02-03T21:03:11.159-05:00Onward.Onward.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.com
