It’s kinda
my thing
You went to sleep somewhere reasonable and woke up somewhere that has ranks. There is a blue box in your field of vision and it is being rude about your prospects. Welcome to the interface.
[ You have been summoned to a world you did not apply for. ]
[ You have been granted 3 essence slots. Choose poorly and live with it. ]
[ This interface is unofficial, fan-made, and holds no authority whatsoever. ]
Confluence Forge
Three essences in, one confluence out, twenty awakened abilities on the other side. Shareable. Rerollable. Occasionally cursed.
Absorb three →Contract Board
The Adventure Society has posted work. The pay is in spirit coins and the briefings are a warning sign.
Read the board →The Kitchen
You killed it. Now do something respectful with it. Monster-ingredient cooking with buffs and strong opinions.
Open the pantry →Progression
Clicking around this site earns you essence progress, because of course it does. Your rank is stored in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Confluence Forge
Pick three essences, or let the world pick for you — which is how it usually goes. The fourth is not yours to choose.
Choose three. Duplicates are refused by the world and by me.
Contract Board
Posted by the Adventure Society. Read the notes. The notes are the only honest part of any contract.
The Kitchen
An adventurer who can cook is worth three who can’t. This is not a metaphor and it is not up for debate.
Codex
A fan’s plain-language reading of how the world works. Close enough to be useful, loose enough to be mine.
The ladder
About this place
Built for fun, by a fan, in one sitting, on the other side of the world from where it’s set — which is to say, the same side as Jason.
It’s Kinda My Thing is an unofficial fan tribute to He Who Fights with Monsters by Shirtaloon (Travis Deverell). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way connected to the author, Podium Audio, or anyone who owns anything.
Everything generated here — essence names, ability names, effects, contracts, recipes, the lot — is original text assembled at random in your browser from word lists I wrote. No passages from the books are reproduced anywhere on this site. The series’ broad concepts (essences, confluences, ranks, awakening stones, the Adventure Society) are referenced the way any fan page references the thing it loves.
If you found this without reading the books: go and read the books. Start at the beginning. Bring snacks.
If you own the rights and would like something changed or removed, get in touch and it’s done, no argument.
Things to try
- Type
its kinda my thinganywhere on the page. - Type
gday. Typeshade. Typefeast. - Click the shadow in the bottom corner until it gets tired of you.
- Forge a confluence and copy the link — it rebuilds the exact same sheet.
- Keep poking things. The rank chip in the corner is paying attention.
Technically speaking
One HTML file, one stylesheet, two scripts, no build step, no framework, no tracking, no cookies, no analytics, no server. Your rank and your last forged sheet live in this browser’s local storage and nowhere else. Clearing site data resets you to Normal, which is arguably a mercy.
