Cloud Curio's first ever crowdfunding campaign is live until March 12th! We're creating 2 home-brew ready, system-neutral ttrpg adventure zines.

Broken Heart of the Castle is a gothic fantasy steeped in mystery, romance, & tragedy. Sleeping Heart of the Garden is a a pastoral fantasy filled w ith exploration, discovery, & ritual.

We've already fully funded so we are ready to get these pdfs completed and zines printed! We have only 2 stretch goals and we're coming up on the first one soon! We're a tiny company of only 4 people so it would be wonderful to get more eyes on our first big project.

Always on the lookout for good third party D&D or even system neutral TTRPG sourcebooks. I love the Kobold Press stuff, but there's a lot of unfamiliar stuff to check out here.

Im sorry if this comes off as negative but I've been browsing syscourse for hours a day now and ijust can't fucking take it anymore.

I am beyond done

*inhale*

FOR FUCKS SAKW PLEASE JUST FUCKING STOP FIGHTINT BOTH OF YOU.

Edogenic systems, traumagenic, anti or pro Endo, i can't fucking give a shit anymore.

Something that both sides fail to understand is that systems such as my own (which being honest we can't for the life of us figure out if we're traumagenic or not) will look at this shit, and several things will happen

They might feel invalidated by the very community they're supposed to be welcomed in. I am genuinly afraid of interacting with many systems in fear that they will invalidate us (since i the host has a lot of trouble understanding the fact that i do have headmates, and we experience plurality in a very unique and particular way)

But what bothers me the most is all the fucking death threata and the "your so lucky to have trauma" from many endos.

Like of course that's fucked up how can you not see it. My message to them is:

THAT WONT FUCKING SOLVE ANYTHING, YOURE JUST MAKING IT WORSE FOR ALL ENDOGENICS! YOURE GIVING TRAUAMTIZED PEOPLE MORE TRAUMA, AND GIVING ANTI ENDOS A REASON TO HATE YOU (a reason i must admit, feels very justified given what it is)

But also i feel sometimes systems forget that other systems are people, who are complex, which means they can be absolute pieces of shit. Being a system doenst automatically make you a good person.

And to anti ENDOGENICS, i must say, do you even realize how fucking complicated the human brain is?! If it can do all these insane things, if it is basicslly s supercomputer inside our heads, what's to say it couldnt make systems without trauma too?!

Tell me any argument for why endogenic systems can't exist, outside of "there is no research"

This rant has gone way too long.

Tldr, I'm tired, were tired. Were tired of our community were supposed to feel safe in becoming a goddamn war zone, where we don't even have the confidence to approach other members of it because we're afriad.

To everyone, please...

Stop

To all my followers who follow me for pokemon and kin stuff, i suppose this was my coming out as a system, and i promise that I'll immediately go back to that after this, I just really needed to get this off my chest.
