   [PREVIEW] Design Session #76: Devils and Development

   This month, we work on filling in some gaps that we left out of Draft 1 of Threadspinner, since making it ready for Session 0 was more important than getting every single aspect of it finished. Specifically, we further build on what it takes to develop an Artifact, and work up elevator pitches for the 22 types of Devils that players can encounter when they allow their Malaise to climb too high.

Eidolon PROTO, Act III: No Way Back

Published 13 Apr 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And from the map that you built before, if you were there with them, you could have warned them that this entire room is one big treadmill. The walls and stairs are just moving down as they move up. So they have no external reference frame to know that they are not getting anywhere as they climb these stairs. What else is new for them? I think on the Plex server, you have seen hours and hours of people backwards long jumping up the endless stairs in Mario 64, but they don't know about that.
