"if we were to dissect a house as we might a human cadaver, we would find ourselves able to isolate and describe its various appendages and their functions in a decidedly anatomical fashion."

“Why haven’t there been any new posts in a long time?”
“Is this project dead?”
“Trevor get off your ass you lazy hack”
This project isn’t dead! Two major factors have contributed to the relative silence of updates:
1) For the past year, I’ve been taking care of my infant son as the primary at-home caregiver. That won’t mean anything to people who have not been parents, and it wouldn’t have meant anything to me before having a kid, but it turns out that keeping a baby happy, healthy, and entertained is a major drain on your time and energy. Additionally, my office/studio/workspace is also the room he sleeps in (I live in a two-bedroom apartment) so I am limited with how much I can do at night.
2) As many of you know, in June, Fleshpit fans showed up in force to fund the TTRPG kickstarter. In response, I’ve been busy working through a multi-page list of illustrations for the TTRPG book, including wildlife, tools, vehicles, maps, and other ephemera:
“I missed the Kickstarter, can I still pre-order the TTRPG book?”
Yes! Here’s a link to the pre-order store: https://mysteryfleshpitrpg.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
“When is the coffee table art book coming out?”
“Are you finished with the book?”
“What still needs to be finished?”
The main Mystery Flesh Pit coffee table-style book is, like many other projects, paused while I’m working on the TTRPG book. Paid projects take priority! I will continue working on it as soon as I can; much of the art I’m working on for the TTRPG book will also be featured in the coffee table book. The biggest missing piece of the big artbook is the writing. I have much of it finished, but there is still a lot of editing that needs to be done.
“Is spectral haptics still continuing?”
Yes, but see the answers above. Paid projects take priority, and right now Spectral Haptics is third on the list behind the TTRPG and the coffee-table book. There is a possibility of me making time to create a small video for SH if for no other reason than to avoid burnout, but I’m not going to promise anything.

Guys please hear me out. PLEASE hear me out. Mystery Flesh Pit National Park audio drama.
It could track the walkie conversations between park rangers. Maybe they form an unlikely alliance with a weird ass scientist or park guest. Maybe said person does something stupid and gets caught outside and the rangers have to keep them from getting digested or eaten by the fauna. Maybe there’s an Anodyne worker gone rogue who’s fucking up everyone’s day. One of them suffers amalgamation and everyone has to see them become nothing but a brain in a jar. There’s a little filler episode where they take a day off at the wellness center. Maybe two of them are girls and they kiss in the amniotic springs. See my vision. Who wants to do this with me. Take my hand
