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.

Flipping through The Chillingly Weird Art of Matt Fox (2023), presents the full range of Fox’s career from the pulps in the ’20s to unpublished work from his later years and the many decades of comics work in-between.

Several things become quickly apparent, but first among them is that Matt Fox is the master of the skulking weirdo. In nearly every page there is some grinning, bug-eyed creep leering at you. It gets unnerving after a while (Stan Kelly’s much memed Sicko perhaps owes something to Fox). Second is the stiffness of his figures and the flatness of his compositions. Again, unnerving how many of the pieces confront the viewer straight on and feature a claustrophobic lack of interior depth. His work is highly detailed and seems to come from an earlier age of woodcuts, but at the same time, anticipates a lot of stylistic choices that would be made by indie and comix artists in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.

Some stand-outs. The ghoul from the cover of the December, 1952 issue of Chilling Tales is a solid gold classic (recently recreated as a ReAction figure by Super7, even) and I agree with longtime follower Jeff Black that it could have partly inspired Sutherland’s illustration of the ghoul in the Monster Manual. That crazy goat demon is the illustration that accompanied “Notebook Found in a Deserted House” for its original publication in Weird Tales in 1951 — not quite what I envisioned, but nevertheless an epic illustration for my favorite Robert Bloch tale. Also, literally every drawing for the never-realized Beelzebub’s Book is a banger — full-page, strange, seemingly semi-autobiographical.

Fox is probably acquired taste, but well worth the effort.
