My enigmatic display name is now turned into a business card game inspired by Ghost Trick! I'll be handing this out as I wander the floor at GenCon this year!

Well, how many romanceable NPCs did the farm in Pakistan have?

I'm slowly migrating my followings over to the blue ⬆️ app! All my social media handles are the same, so if you'd like follow me there look me up, or tell me what your handle is!

[ghost drool @PagesofKenna]

@AlyssaWejebe Yeah, that was one of my favorite projects! I was just chatting with designers during Zinequest and volunteered to do some proofreading, and it snowballed from there. It was really fun to see that come together!

It's so fun having this #ACESCHAT on GenCon eve; whoever scheduled this knew what they were doing! I'm loving the resources and seeing everyone's comments!!

[ghost drool @PagesofKenna]

I just realized I never stated in my twitter bio that I'm a TTRPG editor, so I had to find a way to squeeze that back in without removing the plea for strangers to enable my Monte Cristo hyperfixation.

Story of Seasons, and I guess 9 figures is worth being forced to marry one of the 8 other single people in town by the years' end or else I die.

I know this tweet is about video game preservation, but I feel like if companies are gonna keep destroying media for tax writeoffs, this should be a caveate to un-publishing a work to line your pockets.

Crossing all my fingers and toes that 1) the text is legible at business card size, 2) none of the text gets awkwardly cut off by the printers, and 3) I actually have the courage to hand out my business card to people. Networking is scary!

I've not changed my Twitter display name in about a decade, despite the fact that it is a silly Danny Phantom joke I made that fully only two people who ever followed me here even knew about.

That's brand consistency, baby.

[ghost drool @PagesofKenna]

Designing a game small enough to fit on the back of a business card is incredibly difficult, but I think I've FINALLY landed on something that'll both 1) be fun to play, and 2) make my display name relevant for those who didn't know me back when I was liveblogging Danny Phantom.

Not me hurrying to design a business card+microRPG so I can get it printed in time for GenCon.

@islandoforder I did not expect there to be an actual alien in this movie, I thought that was a red herring, and alien's actual appearance was SO FUNNY!! It looked so out of place and tentative and using a puppet for that was SUCH a good choice lmaooo

[ghost drool @PagesofKenna]

@islandoforder Also how the playwright was like 'I want a dream scene where everyone independently comes to a kind of catharsis but I don't know how to write that. Can you?' when, no. And it was the actors who said 'you can't reach that catharsis without going through the work' who got cast!

[ghost drool @PagesofKenna]

@islandoforder My mom's take was that the town itself represented the sort of limbo dreamspace you fall into when you're deep in grief and nothing makes sense. Thus you can't 'wake up', or make sense of your new reality, if you don't let yourself live and wallow in confusion first

[ghost drool @PagesofKenna]

@islandoforder YO THATS SO COOL!

[ghost drool @PagesofKenna]

@islandoforder And I felt like so much of the events played into that theme. What do you do when an alien shows up? What do you do when your mom dies? No one knows, we're all just making it up the best we can. This movie makes me so emotional lol (thread fin)

[ghost drool @PagesofKenna]

@islandoforder And I think especially when it feels like there SHOULD be someone who can give us a straight answer—God, or the playwright. But none of them can. Even the director can't tell him what the play means, just that he's doing a good job, and he needs to keep telling the story. ...
