THE GOBLIN NEWSLETTER 102
Added 2024-10-04 18:08:20 +0000 UTCPORK magazine used to be the longest running & most successful project we had running from 2011-2018. By the time we decided to cease publication both of us were tired of it. I had gone through numerous changes in thinking on the magazine, the readership, what I wanted. I know Katie was tired of the cycle of the magazine & how I would get stressed out whenever a deadline approached. I was unable to keep my stress to myself. She would frequently get everyone out of the house to watch a movie or something when I was finishing a magazine. PORK emphasized the combative nature of life, with distribution locations & readership really determining our success or not. Cultural shifts really endangered what we were working on. However, DUNGEON DEGENERATES is at the same seven year mark, but I can see it running much longer. More perspectives keep on opening up to me as I look closer into this world, entities become apparent, connections are made, stories demand to be told. I was looking at the 40+ available characters in anticipating the new 12 & lots more started to make themselves clear to me. As I’ve been working on these new expansion boxes other expansion boxes have distinguished themselves & I’m sure those ones will imply other boxes. I don’t even feel like I have begun to scratch the surface of how expansive the Würstreich is. I’m finding the core themes of corruption, weirdness, bizarre humor & this Germanic dark fantasy to ring truer, stronger the more the bell is sounded. I have changed so much since 2018 & the world has changed just as much if not more & has been going through some shit. I have too.
