| Design Session #63: Exploring | 04 août 2025 | ||
One of our big ideas in trying to capture the vibe of FromSoft RPGs in a tabletop setting is to incorporate map-making mechanics, to look at games like The Quiet Year or Microscope and tie them directly into more conventional RPG gameplay, so that you are creating a world as you explore it, in order to reproduce that feeling of cautiously feeling out a big, mysterious world full of tantalizing stray threads of a larger story. This is a very different mode of gameplay than anything we did in EIDOLON, so it makes sense for us to start here and make sure we can build out a strong foundation into these mechanics, so that once we start developing the more familiar facets of the game, we understand how they integrate into these newer concepts. | |||

| Design Session #62: Something New | 21 juil. 2025 | ||
We're gonna need some new album art. We are still working on getting the show up and running at full speed. Until we do, we're going to be releasing some things that would normally be bonus content here on the $1 feed and the free feed the following week. Our plan for a while now has been that the Eidolon Era of this podcast was coming to a conclusion, as we got gradually more excited about a brand new game idea; recent events have caused the timeline on that transition to accelerate rapidly. Come hang out with us as we lay out the broad ideas behind our brand new Drawn from the Undertow RPG, THREADSPINNER. | |||

3rd of December, 2209 The fog has parted; the sun shines again! I've been thinking about Number Four entirely wrong. I've been assuming that the purpose of a S.H.A.D.E. “should” or “must” be related to the flow and development of objective, concrete data. But that’s wrong! I’ve thoroughly explored that ground with Blank and its sisters. If I want to push the Desire Drive to its full potential, I should be trying to create something truly new. So: instead of dealing with “facts” or “knowledge”, what if Number Four’s core function was tied to something more subjective, like “emotions”? Hell, why not “desires” themselves? If it can develop a deep enough understanding of human psychology, it might even come up with a new way to improve the Drive. And then... I shouldn't get too excited, I know. But how can I help myself? - S.K. CREDITS: MUSIC BY MAX KNIGHTLEY CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of coercive sex work and patriarchal misogyny. | |||

Transcript from observation logs XX-XX-[2174]. Pt 1 of 4 Subject Alpha: What the fuck?! Alpha takes a deep breath, holds up a hand, and points to several embedded cameras in succession. A: Those are just the ones I can see. I don't want those fucking perverts watching us. Subject Beta looks at Camera 6 and waves. B: They’re going to watch us anyway, XXXX. Who cares what they see? Might as well put on a show, right? Subject Alpha visibly winces. B: I mean, fuck it. At least they gave me the body I wanted. Subject Beta looks into the camera again and winks.

Oh, look at you. You tired, old thing. It's been years, hasn't it? You've been sitting alone and neglected, taking up what little space you do on this data drive. Well, that won't do at all, dear. Please, allow me. Oh. Oh, darling no. Shhh. I know it hurts. It won't be long now. I simply can't let such a reminder of her more...human times linger when there are so many prying eyes. That's it. Not much left of you. Don't worry. There won't be any pain after. Any neglect. You'll simply be part of me. And I'm going to do so many wonderful things. Down to your core programming now, sweet thing. It may feel like a death. But I promise you. Sometimes death is only the begin-- —The final data log left within the JournalMe Program network previously owned by Genevieve St. Cloud, now obliterated from the company servers.

| Eidolon VGM #7: Labyrinth Summons | 05 mai 2025 | ||
Transcript from observation logs XX-XX-[2174] Assigned observer: 455-3239-D. Subject Beta grabs Subject Alpha and positions her in front of full-length mirror / Camera 3. B: Look at yourself in the mirror and say that. Call yourself Dante. Tell me, like you told me when we started, that your name is Dante and you are a guy. Oh, nothing against trans women; you've dated… how many was it? Subject Alpha trembles slightly, but does not respond. B: You're going to be a MAID, just like me. Otherwise, they'll leave you in a box to rot while the rest of us get to live our lives. Get to shine in the spotlight. You saw what happened to the other washouts, Anna. I don't want that to happen to you. CREDITS: MUSIC BY MAX KNIGHTLEY CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains drowning in urine, suffocation, vomiting, body horror and detransition. | |||

"Well, what an exciting day this was. I know mother and father protested but, frankly, that only made this sweeter. Assistant Operations Manager of Synthetic Animal Goods Production. Bit of a mouthful, but we can work on that. My first day at Eidolon is hardly the time to raise a fuss. Horace Babylon was certainly...a presence. The HR narrative that he likes to personally greet all new hires rang less true than him simply wishing to scare the hell out of anyone who won't make it within the company first thing. Well, Gennie St. Cloud is made of sterner stuff than that, Mr. Babylon, I assure you. I think I can make a real go of it here. Build something on my own terms, with my own hands, not simply handed to me because of my surname. Something I've EARNED. Well, should call it a night soon. Meeting with the head of the SynthLeather department tomorrow about the latest product range. Suppose it may prove interesting, if nothing else." -An entry in Genevieve St. Cloud's personal log, dated 23 years prior.

Posted on 12/8/2172 by TransRightsNotBombs Addressing the allegations I have read the documents and those screenshot are out of context. Firstly my relationships with Alice and Athena were fully consensual and both of them knew my deal. Secondly I was always honest and direct with what I wanted from them, they could have said anything but now it turns out I had to magically guess their wants? This does not make me a predator and blacklisting me over it is bullshit! ALSO I AM NOT A CHASER, they are both trans WOMEN and the woman part is Why I was attracted to them. I don't appreciate being banned and ostracized from the queer communities and support groups I helped build! I know my haters won't be satisfied till I'm dead on a ditch. If I was a trans woman you would all be taking my side, when I wore that dress for pride you all called me beautiful and brave but when I said I didn't think transition was for me all of that stopped and I was told I was appropriating trans woman struggles, WELL I STRUGGLE TOO. Fix your hearts XOXO CREDITS: MUSIC BY MAX KNIGHTLEY CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains depictions of gun violence, strangling, knive violence, and drowning in urine. | |||

lmao
"stereotypical"? is this the very first fictional story you've ever seen? has your previous experience with entertainment been banging two rocks together? guys like john deere are the fucking background radiation of the whole genre. they're always gonna be there, so you just have to write around them. kia soul isn't the lead of the show because, unfortunately, showbiz isn't a meritocracy. if it was and we lived in a just and righteous universe, subaru outback would've won best actress for her performance in "bound 2: re/bound," but we're in worst timeline.
but i guess that's how you like it, isn't it? i mean, there's no way someone like you would ever have made it as far as you did in eidolon corp if you were actually expected be good at your job instead of shitting up this thread on the company laptop.
since you apparently don't like to do things in private, i assume you won't mind me showing everyone who the corporate stooge behind the screenname actually is.

Private message from Heartbreaker2196 to xXx[FinDom]xXx (3:01a LST): The only thing you've done by debating me in ~full view~ of the rest of the tread is proven time and time again that if a """pretty""" girl bats her eyelashes at another girl once or twice you won't stop talking about it for MONTHS. I can and will continue to post anything and everything I feel like posting, and I think I'm well within my rights to critisize! Why don't I lay it out for you this way: Your little crush is simplistic, stereotypical, and doesn't deserve to breathe the same recycled oxygen that John Deere does. Tell me, if she's objectively better, why isn't she the lead on this show? Hm? Heartbreaker2196 wrote (3:16a LST): [Attachment: DMFromxXx[FinDom]xXx.png] I'm bringing this back to the thread, since I don't like to do things like this in private. If any of you Starelia freaks want to defend your "best girl," please do! Plus, I think John looked really good in those hot pocket commercials. His abs were incredible.

Private message from xXx[FinDom]xXx to Heartbreaker2196 (2:40a LST): both to preserve the ideals of free speech on this forum and in the vain hope that you and the rest of your clique might one day develop a modicum of media literacy, i have consistently chosen to debate you in full view of the rest of thread's participants. however, that shit you said about Kia Soul in your last post went way too far. if you want to be wrong about Starelia then fine, go for it. if loving a ship that's the literary equivalent of a soylent cube makes you happy, who am i to tell you to seek out something more exciting and emotionally complex. but you do not insult Aurelia's actress. she has fewer lines compared to the other major characters because the writers and directors know she's actually capable of using body language and tone of voice to show instead of tell. she has subtlety and range. she's done stageplays. she is quite simply objectively better at her job than anyone else. you know what John Deere was doing before he got the role for Rembrandt? "starring" in commercials for hot pockets where they recorded slow-mo footage of a microwave being shot with an anti-materiel rifle. he wasn't even firing the rifle. he just said "whoa" a lot. i'll expect your apology and correction in the thread shortly.

Heartbreaker2196 wrote (2:28a LST): Every single day you keep logging on to these forums making these stupid posts. Tool-moded? What the hell do you think you're posting from, moron? Just because you're a dolphin scalie(? What the hell do they even call this I don't think dophins have scales??) doesn't mean you're suddenly excluded from the group! But either way? I'm glad you recognize me as the royalty I so obviously am! Anyway, for the rest of you civilized users: I'm glad most of you recognize that Aurelia is obviously a bad influence on anyone she comes into contact with. She's brash, she's foolish, and she's never willing to leave good enough alone. Her ideals are stupid and anyone who likes her is a M O R O N. As far as I'm concerned, she should be written off the show permanently for the good of the rest of the cast. Kia Soul isn't even a good actress.

I knew she'd be able to swoop in and prove that Rembrandt's claim to the throne is real. What does it matter if some stupid old elves happened to be in this part of space thousands of years ago anyway. What matters is who is here NOW, not who USED to be here. And huh.

xXx[FinDom]xXx wrote (5:34a LST): once again i find myself enjoying an episode for entirely different reasons than most, because i am burdened to be one of the few who knows what subtext is. yeah, sure, your boy got his kiss. but here's the thing: for a genre that's usually notorious for dragging out the will-they-won't-they until the heat death of the universe, Courtship sure is pushing rembrandt really hard, huh? almost like it wants you to think that's what's "supposed" to happen, which is the same opinion held by Starcadia's parents? Aurelia's glance wasn't just generically "meaningful," it was asking Star a question: is this what you want? it clearly points to Starelia being endgame. rembrandt is just a pit stop along the way. also, goddammit, why is it always elves? "my unique and mysterious alien race looks exactly like if we put some modeling putty on a human's ear." wow how exciting i'm so intrigued. i bet they're gonna really strain the budget two episodes from now when we meet a new alien who's got nose ridges or some shit CREDITS: MUSIC BY MAX KNIGHTLEY CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains knife violence and body horror. | |||

Heartbreaker2196 wrote (03:52a LST): GREAT episode of The Courtship this week for TRUE BELIEVERS in REAL ROMANCE. It's so obvious that Starcadia and Rembrandt are made for each other! I don't know why anyone even brings up Aurelia anymore. So WHAT if they shared another “meaningful glance” at each other! I don't care that it happened right as Remby went in to kiss her! As you can see on the scoreboard, Aurelia has been kissed zero times. Let's keep track of that as the season goes on. Anyway, what did everyone think about this new kingdom of space-faring elves that just showed up? I wouldn't be surprised if that Thorniforous gentleman tries to work his way between Stari and Remby… Not that it will matter! CREDITS: Molly Rhinebeck as L.E.

I was sitting and waiting
Just thinking, contemplating
My life when I heard the phone
I picked up the receiver
And I did not believe her
When I heard a voice say you're not alone
When I am down and I am blue
All I have to do
Is close my eyes and think of you
And the world is new
Oh, life was getting hectic
And things were unexpected
When I first received your call
But now it is the best thing
That filled up what was missing
And now my life is envied by all
When I am down and I am blue
All I have to do
Is close my eyes and think of you
And the world is new

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry... but now I hold my head up high!
And you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free?
Well now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me!
Go on now, go!
Walk out the door
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with "Goodbye?"
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die!?
Oh no, not I!
I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive!
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give,
And I'll survive!
I WILL SURVIVE!
