I'm pretty sure it's a genuine attempt to communicate by someone who is just a bit unusual, rather than any kind of elaborate prank: it does contain all the information you'd need to use it, just not laid out in a conventional or intuitive fashion. And the material itself is great. I'd rather have something weirdly written but powerfully imagined than another 32 pages of cleanly-produced nothing.Joseph Manolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387275537008858939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522018539311056682.post-62337642869594996032019-03-24T21:22:06.938-07:002019-03-24T21:22:06.938-07:00Jeremiah Methuselah is a personal friend of mine w... Jeremiah Methuselah is a personal friend of mine who lives in Cleveland, who sometimes goes by his online name Kingtycoon. Very creative but not so strong on organization. Not sure who Bryce the author of UDG is, but don't think they are the same person.imredavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791259426241403181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522018539311056682.post-13535892816719845442019-03-02T12:49:00.718-08:002019-03-02T12:49:00.718-08:00Waiting on House of Leaves, but a rulebook, advent...Waiting on House of Leaves, but a rulebook, adventure by way of UDG, with marginalia, an actual play report, and related blog entries.David Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628991184561866521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522018539311056682.post-63616096585499092762019-03-02T01:57:30.696-08:002019-03-02T01:57:30.696-08:00Can't be Kent, not enough racial slurs.Can't be Kent, not enough racial slurs.Lukashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446892406199986114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522018539311056682.post-13832900153231695992019-02-27T11:52:57.274-08:002019-02-27T11:52:57.274-08:00It may be true outsider art.

Game of the North credits two names as creators (fictional names obviously): Tricks of Treachery Isle credited to Kingtycoon Methuselah and The Afterworld credited to Jeremiah Methuselah. If Kingtycoon is so similar to UDG, I'd like to know what you think about the style of the other one.

It was declined, without even looking and without even communicating with me directly, although all channels were open. Just 'Thank you but no' kind of answer through a third party. The UDG author seems to be very secretive and protective of their identity.
