Qui-Gon: Remember padawan, what's rule number one?

Obi-Wan: Deny. Deny. Deny.

Qui-Gon: Ah no, the other one.

Obi-Wan: No matter what, commit to the bit.

Qui-Gon, handing Obi-Wan a fake mustache and a harpoon: Exactly! Now let's go.

cannot think too hard about the fact that vivienne was young when she first originally met bastien, the head of the council of heralds, and he took an interest in her when he was likely well into his forties. cannot think about how the moment he set eyes on her during the wintersend ball she was made a target of the rest of the orlesian court. can't think about how she was forced into becoming a player of the game and that she NEEDED to become good at it and have bastien's support or she would of been killed. having a very normal one about vivienne today, clearly

I will never not be sad by the de-fangification of our female characters on hotd. we could've had all of them serving cunt and warfare/bloodthirstiness but instead they are all 'peaceful' and everything is the men's fault 🙄🥲.

a cersei-esque alicent dead set on having her kids on the throne at all costs because she believes it's their gods given right, ready to slay everyone who gets in her way

rhaenyra asking her feral husband to eliminate anyone and anything that offends her, like vaemond, a son for a son, etc. stopping at nothing to get HER throne because SHE wants it, not stopping at anything to achieve her goals

rhaenys ready to ride into war for her queen to slay all her enemies instead of feeling bitter as she came across in the show a lot of the time

baela truly being the embodiment of her father in female form, being feral and ready to eliminate everything at once, etc.

oh, the show we could've had if they just weren't scared of the audiences reactions to powerful decisive women that aren't apologetic about their claims to power and what they believe is their's.

Harem AU where Shen Yuan transmigrates into one of Bingge’s wives shortly after he returns from the other world. After a brief (and frantic) realization that’s she’s a woman (and always has been, but we’re not getting into that right now), she delves deep into this harem drama she’s been thrust into. It’s not until she comes face to face with Luo Bingge that she realizes just WHICH harem drama she’s living, and immediately sets about making his life as good as she can manage. Oh, harem infighting is causing strain on his containers? Simply nudge Liu Mingyan and Sha Hualing into working together to manage the harem. The Northern Desert is hinging on disaster because of clerical neglect? One of her harem sisters has a brother who’s in need of a job, no stress. Luo Binghe’s kids are unruly and there’s no clear successor? She has a college degree and a little sister, teaching a dozen or so demonic children is a breeze! All in the name of giving Luo Binghe the time to find a new wife, of course, one who will disperse with the need for this sprawling harem, and once that happens she’s free to travel and document monsters to her hearts content.

Why Necromancy Doesn't Exist is a fantasy Micro-RPG about magic, taxonomy, and petty academic disagreements. If you like making arguments for the sake of making arguments, compiling evidence to support a clearly ridiculous claim, or having in-depth discussions about fake things that don't matter -- well, that's what this game is about.

Why Necromancy Doesn't Exist will always be free, but if you enjoy it, check out my other games.

Let’s get this out of the way at the top: “swyve” means “to fuck.” So, swyvers are fuckers. Another meaning of swyve, or swive, is to reap, as in crops and harvest. This is likely the proper definition that lends itself to the metaphorical slang (I’m no farmer, but it seems like reaping is at least in the same neighborhood as ploughing). Swyvers (2024) is indeed a game about fuckers, but more of the “fuck you over” type rather than the copulating sort, though I won’t rule anything out. Thus, these fuckers actually hew to the less obscene definition, by harvesting wealth they don’t actually own. It’s a game about thieving. It’s set in a sort of fantasy late-medieval London, dirty, impoverished, violent.

The rules are light. So light that the book doesn’t bother with them until you’ve flipped through 20-ish delightful pages of stage-setting tables (including an exhaustive one dedicated to prosthetics) following the two pages of character creation rules. This is a clear indicator that the game is vibes-first, something emphasized by the tone of the prose (which makes me want to check that I still have my wallet) and David Hoskins’ wonderfully seedy art work. It is a genuine mystery to me how his line work depicting such grime can remain so elegant and clean.

To do things, a Skill system is employed (and modified depending on what a given character might know, guess, or bullshit). When things happen that a player’d rather not have happen, saves are deployed. It’s very savesy, I think. Combat is desperate. The game seems intentional arranged around preposterous and violent things happening. There is a delightful vein of humor in the writing — having that, and having it be so entertaining, really underscores how dour most RPG rulebooks tend to be.

Swyvers is not a dungeoncrawling game, its about heists, but the heists are constructed in a way that just, they are dungeons in their way. The tables, the fast and loose rules, this is a game meant to be constructed on the fly and I think it will work rather nicely once everyone gets the vibe, though I do wish it were a little better organized — I get lost in the highly orderly OSE tome, so this book winds up being surprisingly maze-like when you need a thing. I suppose the counter is to not need anything, which, fair.

All these words, and I haven’t even gotten to the magic system, which is a delight, and maybe my favorite part of the game, or the extremely good starter scenario, once of the most exciting I’ve encountered in a while. I’ll let you discover and be surprised by them on your own. On sale now at Melsonian — don’t sleep on it.
