Some of last night's players: Can we play Colonial Gothic again? That was cool!

My recollection of the last Colonial Gothic game which was "Scoundrel, thy reckoning comes upon the Wal-Mart parking lot at dawn!!"

It was *extremely* silly. You'd all have loved it.

The manuscripts are ready before the Kickstarter launch in May 2026.

They need a little more playtesting and tweaks, but they are in a great state.

A black-and-white illustration depicts a stern, scarred colonial-era adventurer seated at a cluttered workbench while inspecting and preparing a long flintlock firearm. The figure wears period clothing with a fur-trimmed coat and has a prominent scar running down one side of the face. Spread across the table are pistols, powder horns, bullets, tools, and an axe. Behind the character, wooden shelves hold bottles, cloth rolls, and a barrel, while a broad-brimmed hat hangs on the wall. The scene conveys careful preparation before a dangerous journey or confrontation.

In our next offering, Burnett shows us how a forgotten 1868 short story by Marcus Clarke uses conventions of drug reporting to explore the colonial consciousness via a #gothic tale of displacement and disillusionment.

#OzLit #OzStudies #ColonialGothic

tinyurl.com/ydu7dxws
Screenshot of journal article. Title: Marcus Clarke’s “Cannabis Indica” and Altered States of Consciousness in 19th-Century Australian Mass Media. Author: Clare J. Burnett (Griffith University). Abstract: In 1868 eminent Australian author Marcus Clarke wrote a gothic tale for his own Colonial Monthly Magazine titled “Cannabis Indica”, purportedly under the influence of hashish. Contemporaneous reviewers discussed this little-known short story as merely a curio, and modern scholars have followed suit. However, the experimental short story is distinguished as one of the first fictional portrayals of altered consciousness and drug use in Australia by an Australian author. Scholars have primarily considered depictions of altered states of consciousness and drug use by European and American writers rather than colonial authors due to the plethora of international fictional and scientific accounts of drug taking. This article argues that Clarke’s story acknowledges and modifies these international understandings, gothicising the experience of drug taking and adapting colonial touchpoints of understanding about the drug, including its oriental origins and link to medical perceptions of insanity, to engage in a literary experiment into colonial consciousness and what it means to be torn by the duality of rational and irrational, of scientific thought and fantastical thinking, and of being both a colonial and part of the empire.
