Blazer Beetle - Final Fantasy IX

A big, round bug with scythe-like limbs and a big horn! It can cast fire magic and charge at its enemies! They are so cool! I love the slightly metallic carapace. The monster designs in Final Fantasy IX are pretty great overall, but this is probably my favourite.

If you backed the Mortasheen kickstarter four years ago (...but until this morning, I still thought it was three...) check your email or the project page. The digital prerelease version is available to all backers. It's 318 pages, with only around 10-15ish pages of extra stuff that will come in the physical version later this year. When that starts shipping to backers, the extra content will also be added to the digital release in a free update.

Digital should be available for the general public to buy in the coming months, and the physical version will be up for new preorders when the kickstarter run starts to ship out. We'll be trying to get it on the shelves of actual stores in at the end of the year or starting next year, even if only indie stores end up wanting to carry it.

This has eaten so much of my time that I went bald and started greying since the original announcement. Haha.

The core gameplay system was developed by Morgan Mullins, who doesn't use social media! I've still never fully learned all of the system myself, not having free time for gaming or even the right brain to memorize ttrpg mechanics, but @gutsygills did, and used that system to build and playtest each and every single last monster while revising and expanding the mechanics for the last year or two straight. Without her effort this release would still be nowhere in sight.

This TTRPG has been a project in development now since roughly 2010, and a world I've developed since almost 2001.

Everyone who wants to be able to buy it in at least some form should finally be able to by the end of this year, the 200+ kickstarter preorders just demand attention first.

oh i see! so there are different versions...

is tian aware of the massive number of late 90s-2000s mahjong games? if not, how would they react?

Oh you mean games such as Nintendo's Yakuman series or Sega Network Taisen Mahjong? Yeah, aware of those. Actually he still wants to play Yakuman DS just to play against Donkey Kong in a game of mahjong.

Solitaire Mahjong doesn't really count bc he only really plays japanese mahjong (despite him being chinese) but it's a fun distraction.

Nowadays he would like to play the Touhou mahjong game though

there are like hundreds of generic mahjong games on DOS/windows it's pretty crazy. so many... (i wanted to find the one i had growing up but there's no chance)

this was the year of the TTRPG for me! most of the art I made this year (and 8/12 shown here) were either for my DnD group or for the fanmade Mortasheen monster pack I was working on.

First I got "Possessive Retention", which lets me retain my powers and abilities even if I get put in another body. I can't possess or bodyswap on my own though, but I guess it's a failsafe of sorts. Second, I got "Umbrakinetic Creature Creation". I can create shadow creatures, which is sick as fuck actually. Whatever. Go my Shadow Scarab. Even if I get Captain Ginyu'd into a frog or something, my Shadow Scarab will not let me down.

Click on it twice. These are your two super powers.
