This ribbon of color is visible in the background weaving amongst a march of grey panguins that moves in the opposite direction behind them.

Decided to wax a little philosophic and wrote up an article about "small gods," something I tend to incorporate in my games: https://www.macmakesthings.com/updates-and-announcements/small-gods-and-their-shrines

Check it out, and feel free to beg/borrow/steal some of the shrines for your own games!

[image description: A slender being with an eraser for a head and a sharp red pencil for feet, glides effortlessly forward, her segmented arms akimbo, her right hand holding a riding crop. She leaves a clean swash of red line in her wake. Behind her, a handwritten document on parchment with stets, deles, and other marks she has left on the corpus. Text reads, “34, Editrix 9000, The Small God of Necessary Corrections.”]

Terry Pratchett was incredibly based.

I've only read four of his books (the first 3 Night Watch and Small Gods), so take this with a grain of salt, but the #Discworld books are full of absolutely radical stuff.

Vimes the extremely anti-authoritarian, practically anarchist policeman; Small Gods' dismantling of church hierarchy; Vetinari's absurd despotic anarcho-syndicalism; Carrot's pure optimism; Progressive Dwarf Gender issues; Golem morality and philosophy on freedom.

I could keep going, he hits just about everything. I mean hell, the books are so aggressively anti-monarchy that I'm surprised the queen survived his being knighted.

I don't know if he's consistently this cool, but I'm definitely hooked.

‘ all you did was stamp around and roar and try to make people afraid. Like...like a man hitting a donkey with a stick. But people like Vorbis made the stick so good, that's all the donkey ends up believing in.’ #Read #SmallGods

I know Kirra, the Small God of Dietary Restrictions.

Maybe you do, too. She's always done her best for me under a dizzying array of changing moon phases. #SmallGods
