Interest Check

[collectedmods]

Welcome to the first interest check for COLLECTED!



We’re so excited to share what’s in store with you! (Pun intended.) Here are some quick links to get you started: FAQ, PREMISE, LOCATIONS. The TDM is tentatively set for June 12th, with Reserves opening on June 15th, and applications opening on June 19th. These dates are subject to change! But we’ll keep you updated via our game plurk, collectedrpg.

In a nutshell, Collected is a game about survival, the post-apocalypse, mystery, and the supernatural. This is a horror game that will force characters to survive in an abandoned mall left behind in a world wrecked by environmental decay. There’ll be eerie happenings left and right that seem almost like they’re meant to make them suffer… especially now that their wounds mysteriously heal on their own. It’s up to the characters themselves to find out what’s the deal with this creepy mall, and whatever happened to all the people who used to come here.

Sound fun? Post a comment using the code below, and we can get this party going!!

OOoo I will have to look.

I know!! I've been reading it as my bedtime wind down and that has not been working because I keep doing the "just ten more pages, okay end of chapter, okay we'll make it an even 60" LMAO

he got his eye ball on u reverend daughter

[skeletonize]

with these books i feel like i can barely get 1/3 of the way through the book before getting totally addicted and just cannonballing the rest... and LOL it is also so much not a "wind-down" book... i always get so amped when i read them. when i was reading the harrow excerpt, i couldn't do it before bedtime bc i would just be full of brainworms & then be unable to sleep

fine then shes got her eye on you too, jerk

[ambitionless]

I finished it :)






it emotional sucker punched me

[skeletonize]

HAHAHAHA........ i can only laugh because i've been there for months. there are photos of me right after i finished gideon, and i am lying limp on the floor, slowly leaking tears

hang in there... i have it on very good authority that the second book is extremely good (: just a few more months ...

[ambitionless]

I read the index and seeing all those names I was just like 👌 this is going to be a good fun time getting to know the new gang.

[skeletonize]

HEHEHEEH... there's a lot you can infer from just the characters list at the beginning ... i just hope you're in for even more pain because HOO BOY the first act of harrow is ROUGH, AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT

gideon gives you the false impression that harrow had her shit together at literally any point, and then harrow the ninth comes along and lets you know, nah, she's just really good at pretending LOL

[ambitionless]

I just checked and iBooks does have the first act as a sample. I'M IN.

weeps for the daughter.... .. everyone was so badass in the end, I want to see Harrow's pov and get her hot take on it all. my hopes and dreams right there

[skeletonize]

what's SUPER fascinating about the second book is that we get harrow's pov but we kind of don't? all of her chapters are told in a mysterious second person format, which makes me laugh considering i know tamsyn is a latent homestuck ...

i can't believe she wrote all of gideon the ninth, just to have an excuse to write a book in second person.....................

but i think all of us will be super happy with harrow when it finally comes out!! or i hope so ... i want to have faith in tamsyn... please

arrives late w/ another character

[windowsills]

I BELIEVE IT.... i low key read a lot of her stuff when i was in the fandom that shall not be named lmao. I think she'll tie it up nicely considering the care she took with her fic.

ANYWAY, i was going to tag harrow with alex here. Just wanted to know if it's okay if she attacks her skeleton in a moment of fear? I'm more than okay with her retaliating. :')

[skeletonize]

LFKDSAGDKH i didn't but only because i've never been much of a fanfic-reader, oddly enough... but it was super funny to rec gideon the ninth to a bunch of my friends and then a few were like "oh my god I read so much of her homestuck fanfic" haha

that's just fine! harrow is from a point in the first book where she already knows how to use regenerating ash, anyway, so it probably won't be too much harm done

i love alex so (': it might be difficult for me to be mean to her but ... harrow,

[windowsills]

HAAAA before i read it i saw a few people confused by the jokey nature and the weird clash in technology in the book and I was like... yeah that sounds about right

Yesss that's fine. I just thought it would be a spicy intro. Alex trying her best to be brave but backfires horribly criiies 😭
