bloodyrosemccoyHey, guys! Look what came for me in the mail today!
No, not that. That’s just my analog version of a time-wasting Flash game. YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT.
This is what I’m talking about. It’s a physical copy of the first Torn World book, Family Ties & Torn Skies! I am all for the Digital Revolution,* but there’s still something about holding a physical bound copy—of a thing you helped get started—that is immensely satisfying. Plus, it’s a great book—it’s got stories, poems, and artwork, including some things not available on the website, and interspersed between that are really nifty bits of information about the world itself.
Also—says the conlanger with pride—the names are really fun to say. Affamarg, Akaalekirth, Duurludirj, Kalitelm, Itadesh.
It also comes with ACEOs! Oh, man, aren’t trading cards great? Screw your dang Magic: The Gathering, I’ve got the Rejoining Day Toasted Bug Onna Stick!
Next time I’ll have to gain enough confidence or whatever to actually write something for one o’ these, but for now I can be happy that I helped make the world this book details. But the best part is how Ellen Million’s excellent idea has gotten exponentially cooler as more people contribute.
Seriously, dudes, this is so cool! Check it out if you get a chance.
*Except when it comes to math puzzles, apparently.
