Void Bastards is ultimately not more than the sum of the parts I outlined 1400 words ago, but it’s worth rummaging through all the same. Just like yer da said about the bins, when he finally found those Euros.
The magic of Void Bastards is that, while it’s scary and dangerous and random, it’s also within my control.
