After a grueling day at my megacorp job, nothing's better than unwinding with my buds, pulling an energy sword out of my chest, and cutting the vault door of my CEO's bank in half. Buy Machine: Impossible on Itch Today! smilingmythosgames.itch.io/m…

Also, on March 1st, we'll be raising the price of our PDF from $5 to $10. We wanted to price it low to start to keep it as accessible as possible, but after 6 months we're raising the price to something that reflects the time and effort that went into making it. (2/3)

Here's another city from our Machine: Impossible playtests: The Boughery (sounds exactly like "Bowery"). A bayou-themed city that features a giant Baobab tree in its center. People here call themselves Bowers. (Thread)

"The Baobab" is a gigantic tree in the center of the city, built right on top of The Bubble. It's not only the source of the sap that runs the city, it's also a major mercantile center, and serves as City Hall.

And lastly, "Pleasure Island." A popular carnival and casino in a slightly more run-down section of the city. It is completely surrounded by neighborhoods that have run out of sap and have died. If it can be imagined, it can be bought somewhere on Pleasure Island.
