I included some easter eggs and references inside Stream at Susmmer Camp of things that I like just for fun. Also, I have uploaded a preview sample if you want to check the book!
Now about the references, the following list show in detail each of them:
1. Streamer at Susmmer Camp is all about streamers. Since the beginning of the year I have fallen to the vtuber rabbit hole, so you can find a reference about that in the cover! That is a reference to Kiara's smol version (from Hololive)
2. Other reference in the cover is the bonfire. Although I like Bloodborne way more than Dark Souls, I thought that the bonfire would thematically match better than a ghostly lamp
3. The name NiteLinger and Celeste come from a TTRPG show called Saving Throw's WildCards. They played Deadlands for many seasons, and the last one was played using the new version of Deadlands: The Weird West. In this last season, the theme was a strange carnival that travels through the old west. Nightlinger was the RingMaster and Celestina was a witch with a raven as familiar.
4. The cat dice is an easter egg of a boardgame called Selfiedado that I co-designed with my friend Clo. I made a digital roller dice of this game and you can find more info about this app here: https://tmseldon.itch.io/selfiedado
Also, you can check this Boardgame Geek's entry to check about our boardgame: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/271842/selfiedado
5. The current price at DriveThruRPG is 2.71, this is a reference to the number e=2.71828182...
