{{Don't mean to harp on an old post-

But I find that factor amusing in the most morbid way possible, because it means that the audience at large is just falling for Nathaniels shit.

The reason he gets away with 90% of his tom-fuckery is the fact that the average Joe, does not belive that the bogeyman exists (even after the fog rolls in if you're going by the TSW point in the time-line.)

Giving him the leeway to bogey without intervention.

It's a very good use of 'the trope is alive and trying to kill you' and I wish more people saw that.}}

Every time someone plays The Park and comes to the conclusion that Lorraine just lost her mind without knowing that The Park is a lore tie-in to the MMO Secret World Legends and that lore is also in play and is referenced throughout the game and in the ending, I have to cackle

NECROSE

(he/him/they/them)

Ex-Orochi scientist who became filth infected. Lillywhite has managed to maintain some lucidity as he fights to free the Dreamers. But even as he works for them he destroys and assimilates their pawns.

Perhaps he's trying to usurp them by stealing strength from those he devours.

Alright bees, it's time! Session one: Spirals in the Way back Machine. TSW TTRPG LETS GO!!!

[therealfelicia]

So I finally finished reading the Secret World TTRPG.

Can't say much about the rules without testing them by myself, but they look good on paper. You play as a bee, you are able to use two itens that give you a specific list of magic powers, you can revive from the dead and knows a few tricks like tuning into the buzzing to learn stuff.

I'll admit that reading the lore was a bit boring at first, mostly because I was being explained basic lore that I already learned from the MMO ten years ago, and having things explained in plain text wasn't as fun as discovering them trough the story and collecting all the Lore pieces.

But once the books gets over the basics and into specifics, that's when things got really fun. Revisiting zones and characters from the old game, learning what happened to them in the last ten years and being revealed details about them that never got into the MMO proper, that was a huge pleasure to read. But the writers also got to introduce new material and show that they're willing to build new castles in this sandbox, giving us a glimpse of TSW's version of Paris, Boston and Mumbai, while introducing a couple of new creatures to the Secret World like the black eyed children and the mothman.

Anyways, now that the basic setting was reintroduced I'm interested to see what they'll come up with in new installments (heard that the Illuminati/North America book is next in line).

The Secret World

It really baffles me that this game isn’t on many people’s radars. The unique feeling of magic realism mixing in with sci-fi it gives literally has no match. Funcom has always been PERFECT with this kind of stuff ever since The Longest Journey and what they’ve done with this MMO is incredible.

My god, EVERY major quest has a cutscene, every single landscape is a damn masterpiece and the world is drowning in small details. Yeah, it is an MMORPG, it has interface, standard MMO quests, but it oozes with character. Oh, and references. Stephen King, Lovecraft, etc. GALORE. And the music! The atmosphere in this game is incredible!

I’ve been writing up some stuff for a potential Secret World Legends game since the Kickstarter I had backed last year for the TTRPG version of it released its raw text book, and because it’s all I can think about, I drew art of the 3 handlers potential players could interact with lol

Simon, Illuminati/Blue faction handler, my olde OC when i still played the MMO, and his pet bug dog Rubi. A lazy kinda guy but when the going gets tough, he sticks around to see what happens!

Fran, Templar/red handler, has been around for A While, a Very Long While. They know what's up and can probably deal with it, but their fuse is so smol and punching is so much easier to solve things

and Hannah, Dragon/Green handler, she is the worst thing you can inflict on a brand new agent of the Secret world; a teenager with a superiority complex.

You know something's a problem when the Illuminati, Templars, and Dragon work together to deal with it. And yet, this unlikely scenario is exactly what's happening as Tristan d'Eagan (Illuminati), Alexandra Bishop (Templar), and Carlos Hernandez (Dragon) find themselves driving down a dark desert highway and pulling up to an infamous hotel...

Daunting as the prospect of dealing with the spectral glue trap that is the Hotel California is, however, Carlos packed a secret weapon.

{{Like, all of five people are going to know, let alone take intrest in what I'm gonna say but hear me out.

Does anybody here remember or still actively play, Secret World Legends? The Fandom on here is kinda small, but I've been thinking about the tie in game 'The Park' that got played by a bunch of people on YouTube and shit. It was supposed to be a precursor to the update patch for the game that made tweaks to the Atlantic Island park questline but it kinda just, fizzled out.

The player base had pretty meh opinions about it because the majority assumed it was a one off indie horror and therefore didn't have the incredibly dense lore of the parks origin to refrence back to-

Like....like guys-

Guys it's not JUST, a commentary about post partum depression, it's not a cheap ass, "It was all a dream", type story.

Guys-

The antagonist isn't a hallucination, that's the bogeyman. In SWL he's a real person. He's not a metaphor, this is a "The trope is alive and trying to kill you " situation and it's done SO WELL.

That bastard is a menace and arguably one of the most influential horrors in the cryptid power bracket. His boss fight is a literal nightmare and we don't even know if he's gone for good.

GUYS YOU GOTTA LISTEN IM SO FUCKING CONVINCED FROM THE CONTEXT CLUES WE GET IN 'THE PARK', THAT HIM AND LORRAINE ARE CANNONICALLY EXS.

THIS ASSHOLE ISNT WITHOUT A CAUSE, IM ALMOST CERTAIN THIS ENTIRE DYNAMIC IS THE MESSIEST BREAKUP IVE EVER SEEN BECAUSE I HAVE RECEPTS THAT CALLUM COULD BE ONE OF THE BOGEYMANS BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN-}}
