Hello, thank you for participating in the Writing Jam #14! Please email customers@onepagerules.com, to claim your participation minis!
Great work!
One of my favorites so far! The mood and atmosphere hit just right
Thank you!
Certainly puts the Grimdark in Grimdark Future
High lighting Grimdark Future's world in such a light, cold an calculated juxtaposed by the very essence of humanity that he gave up. A terrific story, the mood board's minis are a beautiful addition.
Thank you! The nucleus of the idea was the way in which rich and powerful people become disconnected from humanity once they reach a point where every human need is met without question. I like the idea of self-contained sci-fi battle armor as a metaphor for mundane wealth and would have liked to explore that in conversation with the Founder/Conduit a bit more. Also, thank you for the compliment on the minis!
If you do ever expand it more, be sure to ping me. I'd love to read it.
Deliciously grim dark. Great atmosphere, perfect flow. Overall, just great work!
Thank you so much!
Loved it!
There is a lot going on being that helmet! The atmosphere is great and it is flowing perfectly.
I absolutely loved the ending lines! Such a good note to end on; great job with this piece!
Oh the humanity! Very nice and ponderous piece.
