✨ Bold the Facts ✨

Got tagged by both @v1ctory-or-sovngarde and @themichibear ! Filling this out for my Rifts PC Bugsy! (I needed help picking from my many many OCs lol)

I've never been great at tagging folks, so if you're a follower/mutual and want to fill it out, consider yourself tagged and feel free to @ me so I can read it as well!

✧˖°. PERSONAL

$ Financial: wealthy / moderate / poor / in poverty ✚ Medical: fit / moderate / sickly / disabled / disadvantaged / non-applicable ✪ Class/Caste: upper / middle / working / unsure / other ✔ Education: qualified / unqualified / studying / other ✖ Criminal Record: yes, for major crimes / yes, for minor crimes / no / has committed crimes, but not caught yet / yes, but charges were dismissed Notes: Bugsy is a second generation mutant bat, meaning that despite being a typically very unlikely circumstance he was born from 2 mutant bats that were created in a lab. Because of this he was born blind and doesn't have the best skeletal structure (on top of having multiple experimental implants and various other testing including those that have effected his strength and metabolism,) and sort of lives outside most class and caste structures on top of the organization that create him (the Coalition) labeling him as Feral for having escaped. He has a very fickle but intimate knowledge that he's sort of living due to the good graces of the current mercenary group he's found himself with and that this could very easily change due to a variety of reasons, even if it's near impossible for him to sit still when he experiences time at a much faster rate than a normal human/humanoid race does.

✧˖°. FAMILY

◒ Children: had a child or children / has no children / wants children ◑ Relationship with Family: close with sibling(s) / not close with sibling(s) / has no siblings / sibling(s) deceased ◔ Affiliation: orphaned / abandoned / adopted / found family / disowned / raised by birth parent(s) / not applicable Notes: Despite his birth parents best efforts in the beginning of his life to hide him, once the Coalition had found out about his existence they were essentially forced to hand him over. He does not see anyone of the Coalition, scientist or not as any kind of family.

✧˖°. TRAITS + TENDENCIES

♦ extroverted / introverted / in-between♦ disorganized / organized / in-between ♦ close-minded / open-minded / in-between ♦ calm / anxious / in-between / highly contextual ♦ disagreeable / agreeable / in-between♦ cautious / reckless / in-between / highly contextual♦ patient / impatient / in-between ♦ outspoken / reserved / in-between / highly contextual ♦ leader / follower / in-between♦ empathetic / vicious bastard / in-between / highly contextual♦ optimistic / pessimistic / in-between♦ traditional / modern / in-between ♦ hard-working / lazy / in-between ♦ cultured / uncultured / in-between / unknown ♦ loyal / disloyal / unknown / highly contextual♦ faithful / unfaithful / unknown / highly contextual Notes: Bugsy has a bad habit of constantly talking, especially when he's anxious (unless he feels like he's in serious danger in which he shuts up pretty quickly.) He's also just far more pessimistic than his outward attitude lets on, though a lot of that is because he can't afford becoming a doomer so he tends to keep his thoughts in the immediate present which also tends to make him look not very smart lol.

✧˖°. BELIEFS

★ Faith: monotheist / polytheist / atheist / agnostic ☆ Belief in Ghosts or Spirits: yes / no / don't know / don't care / in a matter of speaking ✮ Belief in the Afterlife: yes / no / don't know / don't care / in a manner of speaking ✯ Belief in Reincarnation: yes / no / don't know / don't care / in a manner of speaking ❃ Belief in Aliens: yes / no / don't know / don't care ✧ Religious: orthodox / liberal / in-between / not religious ❀ Philosophical: yes / no / highly contextual Notes: Okay so some of these just Are A Thing in his universe, but he does not believe in a higher being. Just beings being beings, some are stronger and more advantaged and that's just how it is.

✧˖°. SEXUALITY & ROMANTIC INCLINATION

❤ Sexuality: heterosexual / homosexual / bisexual / asexual / pansexual / questioning ❥ Sex: sex-repulsed / sex neutral / sex favorable / naive and clueless ♥ Romance: romance repulsed / romance neutral / romance favorable / naive and clueless / romance suspicious ❣ Sexually: adventurous / experienced / naive / inexperienced / curious ⚧ Potential Sexual Partners: male / female / agender / other / none / all ⚧ Potential Romantic Partners: male / female / agender / other / none / all Notes: I wouldn't call Bugsy asexual mainly because he's never really had the room to think about it. His feelings around relationships in general is that they're fragile and prone to break and as soon as they do then life gets more dangerous again. He'll stay in a potential found family but he knows its not set in stone. He knows. He also knows that people don't like the way he looks cause he's built weird and wrong so it's not worth devoting mental energy too.

✧˖°. ABILITIES

☠ Combat Skills: excellent / good / moderate / poor / none ≡ Literacy Skills: excellent / good / moderate / poor / none ✍ Artistic Skills: excellent / good / moderate / poor / none ✂ Technical Skills: excellent / good / moderate / poor / none Notes: Even apart from the experimentations done to him, Bugsy has only ever been a mercenary outside being a test subject and has never needed any of these and therefore has never needed to be taught.

✧˖°. HABITS

☕ Drinking Alcohol: never / special occasions / sometimes / frequently / alcoholic / former borderline alcoholic turned sober ☁ Smoking: tried it / trying to quit / quit / never / rarely / sometimes / frequently / chain-smoker ✿ Recreational Drugs: tried some / never / special occasions / sometimes / frequently / addict ✌ Medicinal Drugs: never / no longer needs medication / some medication needed / frequently / to excess ☻ Unhealthy Food: never / special occasions / sometimes / frequently / binge eater $ Splurge Spending: never / sometimes / frequently / shopaholic ♣ Gambling: never / rarely / sometimes / frequently / compulsive gambler Notes: Bugsy's M.O.M. implants (Mind Over Matter implants) make his perception of time waaaay different than a normal human's and also fuck over his many other senses, especially his senses of hearing, taste and smell. Everything Is A Lot All The Time And All The Time Happens So Much. He doesn't need stimulants he's already stimulated. Medications could probably help, but good luck figuring out what he needs and then getting him to take it.

If I was designing an RPG where you head seperate psionics and magic systems, I would simply not give the magical energy points a name that contains "psychic".

Myself and some other party members are writing character journals based on the events of our game. Here’s my lovely bird’s. I keep most of my writing of this nature private but I’m quite proud of this. And I’m still kinda stuck in Kit’s writing style, oops.

Unlimited Fantasy, Second Edition

Unlimited Fantasy Second Edition, Eternal Autumn Games, 2006

Back when I reviewed Monster Wrangler I mentioned a game with 150 classes. That game was the first edition of Unlimited Fantasy (UF), published in 1996. It was a slimmed-down D&D-alike (well, slimmer on rules anyway) that threw together all kinds of very interesting classes into some unfortunately ill-defined, overlapping, and occasionally unnecessary niches. The classes filled the whole scatter plot with Interesting-to-Boring on one axis and Overpowered-to-Counterproductive on the other.

I was going to write a review of UF, but it turns out that there's a 2nd edition that's much more interesting. In some ways it's a completely different game, because instead of being a D&D1e knockoff it's an alternative PHB along the lines of Arcana Evolved or True20. It streamlines the rules a little, which is good because it needs space for all 120 classes, most of which did not appear in the previous set.

So - d20 System, usual six stats, 20 levels, HP/AC/BAB/etc, you know the drill get to the interesting part - what are the classes? Here's a sample:

Acrobat

Anemone Warrior

Cat Priest

City Walker

Death Cultist

Detonator

End-Timer

Freedom Seeker

God-Throne

Indigo Magus

Mountain-at-Arms

Queen of Rats

Time Monk

Unattainable

Whisper Shadow

The biggest problem, of course, is analysis paralysis when making your character.

The class balance is surprisingly good. It's not like I played every class, but someone clearly has. It's honestly better than D&D3.5 - everything is the equivalent of Tier 2 or 3 in the classic tier list. However, a lot depends on the GM. If you're not playing a game that involves the Shadow Realm, playing a Blue Shadow Devil is not going to be very helpful. If you're outside the Ring Cities, there's no point in being a Ring Eminence Oracle, because your powers only work there. It helps that spell lists are much more focused.

The setting is detailed mostly through the classes themselves. It's a nigh-apocalyptic fantasy setting with smatterings of Victorian steampunk, Mad Max, and Shanara. If you're a GM who likes piecing together settings like a puzzle, or who's happy dropping a bunch of miscellaneous info into your own world, this will be fun. Someone looking for a detailed setting or NPCs who are more than a name and position will be disappointed.

The art is almost entirely class images. There's also the cover, an inner front cover, a back piece, and a few color plates in the center. No incidental art. The styles match well, but they're a bit more cartoonish and amateur than I enjoy.

If you can pick it up used, it's fun to read a few classes. Eternal Autumn Games shuttered their doors after printing this and getting curb-stomped by D&D4e a year and a half later.

Rifts of horror! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we look at Beyond the Supernatural (1987), Palladium’s horror RPG that anticipates a bunch of mechanics and lore that would be important for Rifts and the Megaversal system. Richard Corben on the cover, Steve Bissette doing tons of interiors, this books is worth it for the art alone.

STATEMENT ABOUT YUME NYAKI / THE TOWARSHI RIFT RPG MAKER GAME

Making this mostly because of the statement still on the Yume Nikki Fangame Wiki at the moment:

Yume Nyaki / The Towarshi Rift, as an RPG MAKER game, is cancelled.

I phrase this in such a specific way to say the idea of The Towarshi Rift is not.

The Towarshi Rift's story is in the process of being adapted into a different medium, most likely a Youtube Webseries akin to SiIvagunner's Christmas Comeback Crisis / some kind of visual novel, as it better fits the story I would want to tell with it then a Yume Nikki fangame. I may come back to the concept of a RPG MAKER game in the future, but that is uncertain.

This still doesn't mean I'm done with the Yume Nikki Fandom in the slightest!

I am still working with friends on a different, friend server collaborative project that is, even with the changes to the format, a Yume Nikki Fangame. Some concepts from Yume Nyaki that are being scrapped from The Towarshi Rift are probably being moved to that as well! Even if it was small, I'd still like to thank everyone who supported Yume Nyaki since it was submitted for the original Dream Diary Jam those many years back, it means the world anyone cared about these characters back then and I hope to retain your attention in future posts, as this blog is still dedicated to The Towarshi Rift and the other YNFG project updates. To end things off, here is updated designs for Nyasuki- or rather, just Nyams now- and their sibling Kinoko for The Towarshi Rift. Thank you again, and I'll try to update this blog with more info about my projects soon!
