OMEN will be up for crowdfunding (with The Book Bazaar of course) in ~5 weeks!

More technology, and more queerness, no genAI anywhere

Q4: Part of the✨vibes✨is due to me trying to match the approximate time-period with appropriate tech. I didn't want medieval LOTR level tech (not knocking it though, just not what I want to write) but I also didn't want to go past very early 18th century. So there's some overlap and ⬇️

Thanks for the great chat! Now’s the time you can tell us anything you want. Got a project to promote? Let us know in the comments! We’ll have a fresh new chat next week for #TBBChat. Until next time!

Tam, Syra and Sword don't know else. They don't really mind the amount of technology - except the difference between cheap and expensive stuff. Why do ads and neon signs always buzz around Tam's home? And why are they all pretty and quiet in other districts?

As for me - fuck genAI

… finds out not much good has come from bigger screens, ai, & settle for the modest life

ben… sees the newer technology. doesn't care. he has bigger problems to deal with

#tbbchat #wmhst
… and she's like, "okay, never mind. i'll take the simpler, no tech life now"

jake is kinda an idiot, so he'll use ai for everything & probably shoplift the most recent thing [i do not condone this]

adam might also be in the same boat as jesse. think it's cool & all but then…

#tbbchat #wmhst
maya would roll her eyes at ai, but then find AI music in the wild not realizing it's ai

ryan. absolutely no ai at all. despises it with a passion. settles into current technology with ease

jesse was all for the new technology, but sees how lonely people get & other bad things…

#tbbchat #wmhst gordon hated technology then, so he would definitely avoid it at all costs now. keeping his old flip phone for emergencies only

vicky would probably fall into the ai trap & constantly have to be told to stop. she would also want to have the latest and fad-diest device

#tbbchat a3- if my characters were taken outta their '05 world & plopped in '26 without aging up, i think some would be okay with it and others disappointed.

i think paulie would see this genai bs & remake anything he finds into something real & advocate against it after learning it's bad…

There's a lot of similarities, so they wouldn't be too surprised. Mainly they'd be happy to not have neon everywhere for once and wonder why there's so many plants everywhere.

Q4:

Depends on who you ask. The dragons and their magical brethren are perfectly comfortable with "technology" (magic, in my case).

The mundane, non-magical animals never really have to deal with it. They don't mingle with the mythical creatures.

I am comfortable with technology, but...

#TBBChat

i think i got too angry with the #TBBChat sorry

Everybody's pretty comfortable with the tech that's powered by solar and movement. It's everywhere. I feel that generally civilisation has started to reach a healthy equilibrium on that score. But MImage has a creepy edge that becomes more apparent as the story goes on. #TBBChat

#TBBChat

when they're not trying to hide from cams for staying up past curfew or dealing with B'trayed on their tale, yes. and i am too. because i really really want better trains man. i fucking hate cars

Q3: I have a couple Modern AU's, but if we're taking them directly from cannon they'd be most excited about the vastly improved gender-affirming care, better medicine in general (two of them are doctors), and recorded music would be what they'd be most interested in. I think cars and ⬇️

#TBBChat

TBB Chat Q4: Are your characters comfortable with the level of technology surrounding them? And...are you?

when incorporeal, some Yllime can go inside computers and interface with them

the Yllime also developed what Lara dubs "yPhones"--smartphones that can phase in and out of solid form and have a button a human can use to summon the Yllime they're tethered to
