SPULTURATORAH!! 2ND EXTERMINATION

SPULTURATORAH!! 2ND EXTERMINATION, Keetoms, 2024

Hot. Off. The. Presses. Directly into my hands before the edges were even trimmed or the cover placed on it. Seven hundred pages of raw ancient retro-future. The author gave this to me on January 2nd and it took me until now to actually read the whole thing.

SPULTURATORAH!! 2ND EXTERMINATION (S2E from here on out to avoid overwhelming us all with Teh Capslock) is a gonzo mashup of different game styles, settings, and genres. The original game (S1E, I guess) is a classic of maximalist game design in a tiny package. In fact, it's so small that there are more pages in S2E than words in S1E. That's ultra-maximalist game design for you.

So what did they do with the 698ish new pages? A lot, thankfully.

30 pages total of ToC, index, thanks, and license. It has its own bespoke license that I am not good enough at lawyer to understand.

10 pages of extra explanation for the original ruleset, which honestly it needed.

20 pages of gonzo backstory for King Gilgamesh. I appreciate that they did not in fact explain where he got the Levitating Darkness Throne. They did a great job folding in the new chapter of the Epic of Gilgamesh that was discovered only recently.

A 40-page adventure set in the Ziggurat of Ur, complete with a Narrative Dungeon linking this place to the Eternal Realm of Narrative Awesome.

9 pages of random-roll tables you can use for Trait One, Trait Two, and Trait Prime.

2 pages to explain the difference between what you can use for the numbered traits and what you can use for the prime trait.

30 pages of alternate uses for TRAIT ZIGGURAT BARLEY.

18 pages of equipment.

31 pages of vehicles and riding animals.

2 pages on currency.

14 pages of hacking rules.

7 pages of rules clarifications from the unofficial 1.4th edition. Nice to see them supporting fan works.

114 pages of monsters, each of which is a mutated version of King Gilgamesh from another universe or a shattered piece of our own, come to drag you back to his den and devour you. There are big ones, scaly ones, porcupine-like ones, multiple fragmented body parts moving together, one rolled into a beholder-like shape, one fused forever into a throne of pure orange light, all kinds of stuff. I like this.

A 6-page writeup of the God Shamash, which is sort of unnecessary but interesting anyway.

A 4-page running edge-to-edge map of Babylon and its rivers

8 pages of word jumble. I think it's a code. I am not entirely certain.

115 pages of adaptations from S2E to other rule systems: Deadlands, Torg, Fate, Altaplana, Numenera, Dungeon War, MSR, and Fantasy Wargaming: THLOA.

Good lord 700 pages is a lot of pages.

1 page accidentally taken up by a single dangling word ("it") at the end of a sentence. I have been there. Doing layout sucks sometimes.

96 pages of color art plates. Right in the middle of the book. The rest of the book has no art. The center has almost 100 solid pages of pinup Babylonian future barbarian blade hunter psychics. It's all the work of one mad genius who is credited as a bunch of black rectangles with diacriticals above and below them

A 3-page essay on why Nobilis is the greatest game ever, which has an acrostic that disclaims the entire section.

4 pages of detailed wargame rules.

22 pages of domain management guidelines.

12 pages of "spoilers". I still do not know what most of these mean.

A 2-page spread of Gilgamesh's family tree.

15 pages of writeups for miscellaneous folks on said tree.

28 pages on the language used in ancient Babylon, complete with cuneiform how-to.

A 16-page "node map" of the retro-future Babylonian cybernet that leads to outer space, where the planets are manifestations of deities.

21 more pages of detail covering the strange planets of our solar system as the Babylonians knew them: their cities, their rulers, little adventure seeds, advice for GMs for running stories in them. I do kind of wonder if someone else wrote this section.

1 page of probability notes, which is all you need for a 1d6-roll-under system really.

An 8-page character sheet, which is a bit excessive for characters with 4 traits.

2 pages that just contain the original game.

I will admit - there is actually too much in this game. I'm not sure it would have worked to make it a string of 50ish short supplements, but it's still an awful lot to absorb. The "maximal game, minimal package" has turned into "ultra-max game in a doorstop package". If S3E ever arrives (presumably with three exclamation points) I hope they do some judicious trimming.

I have no idea if this behemoth will make it to stores, or whether the shipment will collapse under its own gravitational pull and become a black hole. Either way, heck of a collector's item.

Okay, the death of Elizabeth Carruthers is still hitting me hard (Seriously, so hard), but I can at least appreciate that the show is using it to bring Josephette to the forefront.

She’s been a recurring character all season long, but with very minimal dialogue or personal actions.  Usually she’s been relegated to standing in the background, giving Significant Looks as Elizabeth dealt with other people.  However, dialogue between other characters -- and the few times she’s been allowed to act on her own like when she figured out the Browns sabotaged their works -- have established that she is just as competent and knowledgeable in the fur trade as Elizabeth.  She just had to be publicly quiet because she is even less able to act on her own due to her color.  I wouldn’t go so far as to say that she was the power behind Elizabeth, since Elizabeth was plenty powerful on her own, but she was definitely a partner, not a servant.

Elizabeth cannot actually leave Carruthers & Co. to Josephette in her will -- the law of the time simply won’t allow it -- but with the the stipulation that the Power of Attorney serve at her direction, she has in effect become the head of the company.  Like Elizabeth, she needs a white male figurehead to be the titular owner, and Douglas Brown will serve for her just as he did for Elizabeth, but it will nonetheless be her company.  And given that she has already figured out that Grant is behind Elizabeth’s death, and has made it clear that she will not take any of this lying down, I expect her to be coming for him for bear next season.

I’d almost feel sorry for Grant if he didn’t have that -- and so much more -- coming.

I don't know why everyone is sending you pictures of their pets but I am a Simple Man.

I see people talking about their pets, I join in.

Anyway please meet Tig, who is the Butterball Turkey of Cats.

I was getting some pretty rough asks and I set the boundary that I was never going to again answer an ask privately, and if you send me an ask I WILL PUBLISH IT so everyone took that as I WILL SHOW THE WORLD MY CAT/DOG/SNAKE and I'm down with that.

Your keetom is the sweetest. <3

[ruffboiart]

What is fabric how does it work, we just don’t know. Or I don’t, anyway.

Kata Lehikoinen and a keetom. This was a warmup two days ago that has turned into a finished thing.

Keetom

Went out to the game reserve with my brother, saw a serval for the first time! Perfect beast, cat supreme.

[vaspider]

Oh, are we sharing animal pictures? Artron says hello! Also congratulations on your upcoming top surgery, I hope it goes well! I can relate on what you said about objectively being like "yeah my chest looks good" and then subjectively being like "it is wrong and I hate it". I'm very glad I had top surgery

hello keetom!

and yeah, like, I know it looks fine from an objective standpoint but I want it to go the fuck away

Like, half the decks I play on Arena now are weird tribal decks with names like “Keetoms”, “Doggos:”, “Zambles”, “Hello my name is human”, and “Rats off to ya.”

If they had a wider selection of older cards I’d make even jankier tribal decks.

Why must a Magic deck be good? Is it not enough to be funny?
