Under the Anti-Sun (A Micro-Setting)

[Todd]

I’m doing the thing! I got inspired, thinking about Dark Sun, so I decided to try to put that to work and make a thing! I’ve set up a project for it on Itch and it’s called, Under the Anti-Sun.

I’m trying my hand at itch-funding this so, if this sounds like something you’d like, think about becoming a patron or supporting the project directly.

I’ve uploaded an initial concept doc into the project that lays out pretty much everything I want to do with this micro-setting. I’m really happy with it and excited to get into the details a bit— I’m going for a slim zine for this, not a tome, so I’m aiming for brevity more than depth.
