Yes, it seems well researched and balanced. I like the descriptions of the "magic system", if you will, how you can recognize magic by its smell, how the magic was once prevalent but got weaker over time, how the individual characters found their way into it and how they chose to use it. In particular Leo Friend is a gross antagonist in many ways. The chapter written from his perspective is well written in the sense that it puts the reader into his boots, and repulses them all the same. Rooting for his comeuppance π¬ Don't forget that one time he identified a trap door at Rum Rogers' house. Actually, more closely related to puppeteering: Guybrush's background as a kid who played with his (sister's?) dollhouse saves his life when he gets to show his competence with dolls not only once but twice in LeChuck's Revenge. Although the way Guybrush ends up using it does remind me of the way an evil brother would play with his sister's dolls. Then on to Chapter 6! The book is long enough as it is, I also still have to catch up.

Today would be a new unlock but there isn't a lot of activity, as @TimeGentleman observed. Is anyone still reading, but just not commenting? We can also take a break if some busy folks want to catch up

I googled a bit and I found a thread about this on the Thimbleweed Park forums. From 2017! Interestingly, Ron said he just does this for fun and the chance of it becoming a real game are close to zero. Well, one new Monkey Island game later, here we are π

Curious, let's pick it apart for scraps of speculation! I noticed a kind of trail in the top left corner where water or Sonic the Hedgehog could go through. Also the rock tiles prominently feature bumps and ramps that could be taken straight from Excite Bike. Just decoration or a hint at a gameplay mechanic?

I'd be in favor of allowing new interviews to be new threads for visibility and then merge them into the mega thread after some time. Thanks for these cool interviews, @danielalbu! -

Caught up with chapter 3, 4 is next. I liked this one, it really makes me feel the work, the way it's written, and like @TimeGentleman said, Jack's already between the worlds. I like the casual appearance of voodoo in a fight, teasing more to come. Makes me think that it does feature much more prominently than in Monkey Island, where Guybrush can perform some magic with instructions, but it ends there. He could have matured into a full "wizard" eventually, if the series had progressed in a different way after 2. Like, he seems to be a capable end user of voodoo but he never really shows interest in the deeper ends of it, despite its repeatedly proven usefulness to his ends. Back to Stranger Tides; The second famous historic pirate I recognize appears in chapter 3: Ann Bonny! I think I didn't catch it on my first read, and was focused mostly on Blackbeard. Now I'll pay much closer attention to who else might pop up. And with that, on to chapter 4 :]
