TITLE: "Crystal Story Dawn of Dusk"

RELEASED: Jan 12, 2024

GENRE: Adventure, Turn/Action based rpg

I liked the title, and the art & imagery was thin. The gameplay is okay, and the story is short and sweet! You could play thru most or all of this game in one session and as an undertale-like it's fun! I liked how the turn based boss battles draw a window with the typical action gameplay for dodging and charging moves. Apparently this is part of an upcoming series so its more of a taste of whats to come. If u like weird rpg's its a great one-shot.

I love the licensed doctor who ttrpg where the author clearly has some sort of personal disdain towards non human or campy player characters but contractually can't exclude them (on account of it's doctor who) so instead opts to passive aggressively bully people out of playing aliens and having funny names

I think where a lot of attempts to do "Dungeons & Dragons-style" settings in alternative milieux go wrong is that they're imitating the explicit trappings of standard D&D settings without putting a whole lot of thought into why those trappings are the way they are. Your standard D&D setting is essentially gonzo sword and sorcery fantasy, and there's a very particular internal logic to it which isn't necessarily going to be obvious examining it in isolation.

For example, one of the more common sword and sorcery fantasy tropes which strongly informs D&D-style settings is the convention that "monsters" are usually something protagonists can talk to (and have stupid arguments with), even – and often especially – when it would be incongruous for them to be so chatty in a more conventional fantasy setting. If you want to carry that over, it's not enough to go "well, D&D settings have chatty dragons, so my setting should have chatty dragons, too"; you need to think carefully about what things qualify as "monsters" in your setting, and what role they play in it.

Basically, what I mean to say is that if you're transposing D&D-style worldbuilding into a steampunk milieu, player characters should definitely be able to talk to the trains.

And if I say Mac grew up equating love to cigarette burns and absent fathers and getting told to toughen up, that Mac doesn’t understand love that isn’t conditional, love without equal parts hate or distaste, that never in his life has Mac understood earnest love, that even though Dennis isn’t trying to, he often ends up re-confirming this idea in Macs head, that love is hatred, that-

my take on adult!ib and mary post the “together forever” ending.

what if they came back to the gallery though. gallery adventures pt. 2. where they will certainly not meet anyone they’ve met before. and shenanigans certainly won’t ensue.

Looking at mech chassis, as you do. Amber Phantom at the time and I think to myself about mounting a Superheavy on it. Don't ask why, I'm allowed to make bad choices.

So I check the superheavy mounting core power to remind myself how it works, and quickly go "Oh right, you can't have three mounts already". But then it got me thinking about other chassis with three non-Heavy weapon mounts.

The Tokugawa is another chassis that is forever barred from the glory of Superheavy Barrages. The Gorgon another.

But all of the Size 0.5 chassis? None of them are disqualified from using their few mounts as superheavy bracing. It's a terrible idea on most, but a legal modification to make.

It's a rules-legal setup and reasonable balancing decision... but it's just so wrong that a Size 0.5 Dusk Wing can haul around and fly with a Leviathan Heavy Assault Cannon and my giant queen Size 2 Gorgon is far too frail to ever lift even a Heavy Machine Gun.

Do you like vengeance stories? Esoteric Buddhism? Slipstream Fantasy-New Weird setting a la Throne, Ivalice, or Revachol? Southeast Asian Xianxia? Brutal Kung Fu? Meditations on Emptiness? Revolutionary Politics? An apocalypse caused by leftist infighting?

Well do I have the story for you:

After being murdered, Raxri Uttara awoke in a healing pool at the end of the world without memory.

GOD OBLITERATING VAJRA is a mysticpunk progression xianxia webnovel set in the sword & gun Maritime Buddhist inspired Utter Islands. Mystics grapple with martial artists for supremacy, the workers struggle against the rulers, and giant mechanical spirit guardians are converted into high-rises and public transportation. Raxri must find out what happened to them. To do so, they must understand the world again and re-attain their lost Cultivations to be able to enact vengeance upon those that have wronged them and forsaken them.

What can you do to a person who has nothing to lose?

In the depths of their Second Death, Raxri heard the Holy Madman speak: Walk. Uncover the truth of your death. Reattain your Enlightenment. There is no one to save you but you. Master yourself. Let the world sing through you. You are not alone. You are the world and the world is you.
