No matter how dark this city gets, even now, there is hope for man.

Twitter version of this post.

"No matter which one of us lives, the ground we're standing on will crack and blow away. You will fight, but when you fight, you'll fight alone. In the end, you'll see there was no other way. I've been here before. I've stood where you stand. They called me their hero, 'The Hero of Man'. Why should we save them, when they stand for nothing? If they deserve life, let them stand for themselves.

We've given everything we can; there are no heroes left in man."

IRREGULAR - VIBES EDITION - AVAILABLE NOW

Get it on Itch.io!

IRREGULAR is a tabletop roleplaying game for 3-5+ players. The players create sentient robotic machine humanoids called METALOIDS. Created by MAN, METALOIDS contain the capacity for human emotion, thought, and reasoning, as well as great POWERS that can surpass that of a NORMAL MAN. 

However, for reasons still unexplained, after a period of time, METALOIDS begin to break down, and in the process, go into a berserk state called IRREGULAR. Should one go IRREGULAR, a team of IRREGULAR HUNTERS is dispatched, to incapacitate or, if necessary, kill the IRREGULAR.

That's where you come in. You're an IRREGULAR HUNTER, one of the chosen, to be sure. You come in to a dangerous situation involving an IRREGULAR, and must stop or kill the IRREGULAR threat. But take care--fighting IRREGULARS is a dangerous business. It takes a toll, not just on your body, but on your emotions. 

TAKE CARE WHEN FIGHTING IRREGULARS, LEST YE BECOME IRREGULAR YOURSELF

Available now on Itch.io!

- The VIBES EDITION of IRREGULAR is now available! We will be Itchfunding on February 1st to fund new art and to pay our collaborators! -

What if I imagined Red Hood era Jason Todd singing Protoman's lines from The Stand (Man or Machine) and gave myself emotions? What if I did that?

I keep thinking of a Protomen Saturday morning cartoon, so I might as well write down some (silly) ideas before I forget them:

Whether the Protomen are humans or robots (or both) is never fully addressed.

Everyone has a bunch of pseudonyms to use when needed. At some point someone gets interrogated while under the influence of truth serum, and they rattle off a bunch of different names because they genuinely believe each successive identity to be the right one.

On the topic of names, Commander B. Hawkins' parents actually named him Commander B. Hawkins. The B might be just an initial or it might stand for something really stupid, I'm not sure.

There's a recurring subplot about a police officer looking for a member of the band named Jesse Christine.

Shortly after Kilroy gets reprogrammed, the rest of the band argues about which of them taught the robot to swear. Turns out Kilroy's been teaching himself. He's very good at it.

At some point, Kilroy gets arrested along with Bakker and Shock, and, him being the chattiest of the three, the (human) officer gets convinced he's actually the only one of them who's human. It gets horrifying when said officer tries to take off Kilroy's mask, only to be faced with either really unsettling robotic innards, or robotic innards painted to look very organic courtesy of the Gambler.

Sometimes Kilroy wears very fake-looking rubber masks of various people. Nobody likes that.

The makeup actually works as anti-surveillance makeup, by doing *something* to the cameras. So do the sunglasses.

The NES Zapper doubles as a taser. They can still use it to play Duck Hunt.

Episodes about needing parts to repair synthetizers are often way more dramatic than episodes about escaping Wily's minions.

There's at least one episode about dinosaurs (there's actually a bunch, because dinosaurs)

I swear I saw this meme in the tag a while ago, but couldn't find it. So I made my own because I often have need of it.
