Reading through the inspiration list for the games, especially for Carrier, was crazy, with all the convergences. Your ideas for Kalpa, especially the story knots, seem great for a table I might be running soon. Really appreciated the blog post as well. I love mechanics that encourage collaborative worldbuilding and super lite systems like 24xx (although I always end up running a little tweaked version), so it was the perfect inspiration.
Thank you so very much! That really means a lot to me! It took all of my little brain cells to hammer Kalpa and Carrier into a sort of "rhyme" (?) with the feelings that I've got from the various inspirational sources. And it's so nice to hear that someone else finds any use in them! I hope you and your players can bend, change and adapt them in a way, so that you can explore your very own strange and exciting narratives. Thanks again! You really made my day!
