Oh hey this is my project I’m making with Alex Macmillan! HNers will likely enjoy his more technical explanation: https://strandfall.com/2026/04/10/an-introduction-to-mfds/

"Strandfall is a sci-fi story set in a post-apocalypse, with an emphasis on climate change, co-operation, and adaptation."

I'm in the early stages of designing a world/game focused the same topics, in part because I simply want more stories like this to exist. I live an ocean and a continent away, so of course I won't be participating, but I don't know if I've ever subscribed to a newsletter so quickly. Looks like an absolutely brilliant idea and I hope it's successful!

I'd be extremely interested in participating if a version of this ever came to my corner of the world. Even if it doesn't, just knowing about it is inspiring and motivating :)

The whole paragraph that starts with, "Smartphones are anti-enchantment devices" is gold. Love where you are coming from with this.

McNair-Feldman Device sounds very futuristic. Props for coming up with that name. I want to participate just to find out what we could do with it.

Worth the read If just to find this sentence

"Smartphones are anti-enchantment devices."

Full disclosure: I am using a smartphone right now.
