#creature of havoc

[vintagerpg]

Most if not all the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks have hype copy on the cover that says, “A thrilling fantasy adventure in which YOU are the hero!” Creature of Havoc (1986) has that copy too, but it is the one time (that I can recall, at least) where it is fibbing. You are not a hero. You are a horrible creature, mutated, without identity and driven only by instinct (though, honestly, I am not 100% sure you’re the titular creature). This makes Havoc pretty unique in the series (only the time loop of Black Vein Prophecy exhibits a similar mechanical boldness) and makes for a complex and difficult playthrough.

So, monster that is constantly changing and evolving. Initially, you are driven by instinct, which means you make rolls to determine where you go. Once reason takes hold, you need to figure out language, which involved breaking a code (and kind of reminds me of The 13th Warrior in the way speech slowly becomes comprehensible). Then you need to escape. That involves secret passages, which can be discovered by adding 20 to the paragraph number when you’re in the right spot. You kill some adventurers along the way (combat in this book, with your claws and bulk and spines and, uh, appetite for flesh, is both bracing and gruesome). Eventually, you confront the sorcerer who made you this way — Zharradan Marr, the handsome gent on Ian Miller’s fantastic cover — find out the truth about your identity and, presumably, kick his ass into the netherworld (where he continues to make trouble for the world, as detailed in The Trolltooth Wars novel). Alan Langford delivers art and it is fine, but this is maybe the only time I will ever say this: the art is secondary to the experience of playing through this book.

All in all, conceptually and mechanically, a performance that is difficult to impossible to top. Clearly, since it is the last FF book that Steve Jackson wrote.

Timidly leaving this sketchy concepting art of my Dog comic guys as Fallout comic guys here and frolicking away.

If I had a nickel...

Every time there was a popular franchise...

That featured a mad scientist...

Creating a genetically modified alien creature...

With "its only instinct to destroy..."

And eventually, it making its way to Earth(?)...

...I'd have two nickels

David 8 (Alien franchise) and Jumba Jookiba (Lilo & Stitch)

Working on the Marineford bit of Cry Havoc at the same time that I'm working on the mermaid AU is wild because it's like... No wait hang on I have a meme for this.

ford, the first night on the stan o' war ii: i hope no wolves eat me tonight

stan: in the middle of the...? ford, i'm on the bottom bunk, any weird ocean wolves would go for me first

ford: you don't know that

stan: wh. do you want to get eaten by wolves??

ford: no! i said i didn't want that!

stan: why did you sound so sad then??

ford: wh- i- well- the- this dimension is WEIRD, stan! i haven't had a single creature try to consume me in the night yet, that's very unusual!

stan: hm. so you don't like change is what you're saying

ford: ...no :'[

I love the isekai vibe of Skyrim.

Like it's black and then you suddenly wake up and like, where the fuck are we? Who are you? Why are we tied up? Where are we going? Oh shit, I just got here, and now I'm gonna die! Wtf? A fucking DRAGON!? MAGIC?! AHHHH

So anyway, I just isekai'd Hans bc he is a cursed being.

Found an old WIP I never finished

So I decided to re-doodle and finish it!

His name is Dae Dae, he is a little gremlin :)

"What the heck is on my head?!" – Havoc, 2 seconds before grabbing the brim and nearly squeezing poor Lume into another dimension.

Lume and Havoc are inseparable — and soon, you’ll find out why. 👀

There’s something brewing… the origin story of Havoc is on its way.

I’m so happy someone asked me to make a fanart of my mascot — it gave me the perfect excuse to finally explore her backstory! 💫

Would you like to see more art of her and Lume?

Lume doesn’t really have a body of her own — she can take on any shape, but yes, she’s absolutely touchable. (Squishy, too. Probably.)

looking at my piles of writing scraps like some of this is good but not good enough to post. or its good but posting it would require me to add a lot more to it that i dont want to. what if we play a game where i post a snag of something anytime someone asks

[ask-chihiro-fujisaki14-roleplay]

Hello, Chihiro

If you could be a mythical creature, what would you be?

Oh, that's kinda hard to choose... Hmm... I'd like to be a dragon or a griffin, but I'd probably be something like a wolpertinger or a kirin
