#what i really really want ( wishlist )

[vyctorianbyron]

Lancer RPG is cool

But it feels like a very incomplete RPG system, because it only really focuses on the mecha and makes that aspect really crunchy and mechanically deep However the human and non-mech combat side of the game is very narrative play focused with few mechanics or depth of any kinda outside third party supplements and at that point it be better to just slot in a different TTRPG to handle the non-mecha side of things So I really hope if they ever make a 2nd edition they have expanded rules for roles outside of Lancer (Mech) pilot

Thank you for running this complicated bracket!

I'm so sad though that I realized almost every character left in the AP bracket except one is from a DnD podcast/arc so there's almost no indie ttrpg rep in this round

You're welcome! And yeah, shout-out to Nicky Skyjacks for representing games that aren't D&D.

I was going to offer a teaser of an upcoming bracket because somebody submitted a character from We Will NOT Play D&D, but apparently it's named that because it's a scripted audio drama, and not because they'll play any game except for D&D. :(

Anyways shout out to Interstitial, The Unexplored Places, Campaign, NeoScum, TAZ Amnesty, Chapter and Multiverse, Pest Control, and of course Friends at the Table as well as any other podcasts in this bracket that played non-D&D games that I don't know about.

For those who might want to try listening to actual plays that aren't D&D but want something shorter/less of a commitment than the above, the GM for Campaign also has the podcast One Shot, and there's also Party of One Podcast.

For those wanting to try playing some indie TTRPGs, there's a bunch of cool ones for $10 in this itch.io bundle that's raising money for Medical Aid For Palestinians.

Feel free to reply or reblog with more actual play podcasts that use systems other than Dungeons and Dragons!

wishlist — is it weird that i want someone to be rude to Jing Yuan? i want someone to try to provoke him, not through threats to him or his loved one but insults, derogatory assumptions slung his way, comments on his appearance or his demeanor or his behavior. i want someone to drastically underestimate him, and maybe not even realize how grossly incorrect they are in their assessment of him — because that's canon. whether it's because they don't really know a part of him, or all of him, or because he's no longer the person they once thought they knew, i want that conflict. i want that misunderstanding. it doesn't even have to be significant or particularly hurtful, but i want to showcase his tolerance and the way he looks at you so evenly, that in the silence following your words you realize you made yourself an ass for assuming. assuming what? anything. relationships, habits, personality, his pacifism as a general, truly anything that could be found or misunderstood to be a fault simply because you don't know him is on the table, but you cannot apologize because before you can even say sorry he's brushing off your words like he's heard it tens of thousands of times.

if rayla or callum ever say to each other “i want a life with you” i will just simply

The concept of the Hyde becoming aimless rather than strictly more aggressive with the loss of its master. Tyler, escaped, haunting the woods near his cave, waiting for Laurel to come back and just tell him what to do, what is he supposed to do? Standing amidst the silence of an abandoned forest, listless, holding himself and feeling his eyes lose focus, supernaturally attuned ears absently picking up on the sound of fallen leaves hitting the earth. At some point—he doesn’t know when—he tore apart a deer but there’s no satisfaction in it like there was when it was Laurel’s biding so it’s laying at his feet, forgotten.

abandoned.

He doesn’t know it, but Wednesday has been looking for him since she heard of his escape. She herself isn’t sure if she means to kill him or study him or… well. She thinks about what a Hyde might do when it’s master is dead but there haven’t been bodies turning up so maybe he went home? She decides to investigate and finds him there with his back to her, stock-still, and she’d think he hasn’t noticed her except for the way his fingers tighten around his biceps.

she waits. If he attacks her, she’ll have her fun in besting him on her own. If he attacks, they can see who’ll draw first blood and—more importantly—who will draw last.

he doesn’t.

wind whispers through the trees, the black, whirling maw of the cave a hellmouth of bad memories, and neither tyler nor Hyde try to kill her. It’s shaping up to be a pathetic birthday.

“Well?” she prompts.

he doesn’t react.

she lets it hang for another moment, but grows impatient: “I killed your master. I’m right here. What are you waiting for?” And then, mockingly, “Orders?”

compellingly, his head turns just the slightest bit towards her and she sees in profile his lost expression. And it clicks then. Because he is and, by the look on his face, they’ve only both just realized it.

this could almost feel like a victory if Wednesday were not suddenly struck by the injustice of it. Because Tyler looks small. Looks lost. Looks like nothing at all.

chains on a wall.

she steps up beside him, more irritated that she can’t even have fun at his expense, and sees the deer. “My parents got me a taxidermy kit for my birthday last year. At least this wasn’t a total waste.”

Later, when she’s instructed Thing to grab the back legs while she takes the front and carted off her trophy, he’s still standing there but gradually, as the dark is setting in, a warmth creeps up on him. He feels his mind waking. Sees from the corner of his eye prey emerging from nearby brush.

———

the next morning, when Wednesday is leaving her dorm for her first class, the toe of her boot collides with the malleable form of a dead rabbit.

After that transatlantic book buying bender, I placed myself in a moratorium until Christmas.

[necoryn-rising]

[littledeludeddupes]

noooo idea when i will have money again because im going to be an unemployed student for the forseeable future. but i promise to get lots of metal installed when that day comes

[ingolds]

someday.... i'm going to explore the theme of family and friends with theo and how deeply lost and afraid he is. he very much seems worldly and put together and sure of himself but there's this part of him that is so so so scared of what searching for his past would mean. will he find out that everyone he once knew, that he grappled with and laid beside and watched the sun rise and set with, is dead? will he find that they're alive and well, flourishing without him, content to never have him in their lives again?

or, even worse than that, far, far more terrible, will he go to them, vulnerable and lonely and hurting, and have them turn away from him for what he did? for not saving more wolves when he could, for killing all those people, for fleeing into the wilderness and hiding for hundreds of years while the rest of them were hunted nearly to extinction?

he has loved and he has lost. is it better to have everyone gone, spirits untethered to the world, or is it worse for them to be alive, and to hate him?

theo is a fourth. they will never be able to forget that.

Why is it so hard to build a birthday wishlist?

I know it was two months and ten days ago but I’m allowed to post about F-Zero whenever I want (even if that seems to have slowed down because I’m obsessing over Pokémon) and I think the fandom increasing in size due to 99 means that (even though it sounds like the next Smash would be a reboot and you know what that means? No Falcon and I think that’s somehow more homophobic (or maybe biphobic and ableist because I headcanon him as bi and autistic) than overexaggerating his hammy personality making everyone in the Smash fandom treat him how I treat DK (headcanon ‘em as a perv). Btw yes I do headcanon that Samus is very against the idea of Falcon getting kicked out. He’s one of her few friends (alongside Fox, Mewtwo and Lucario, all of which also have a stupidly high chance of getting kicked out) and has a crush on him) the rest of the Original Four should join Smash (you know I’m only making this to reiterate the fact that I want Robert in Smash). Robert I can only see as being a moveset clone/echo of Falcon (his boyfriend), Pico’s obviously a gunner and Goroh’s a swordfighter

I think if Pico got into Smash he’d immediately side with Ridley while Falcon and Samus are like “oh shit”

Goroh befriends Mario because he hates Falcon but ends up getting equally hated in return because he’s also from the F-Zero Universe and Mario’s a jerk

Robert automatically gravitates towards Falcon’s friendship group because even though he’s watched Mr. Zero interview Falcon about Smash, he accepts he only knows Falcon (plus it sounds like there are a few dangerous fighters he shouldn’t get mixed up in). Also any Pokémon joining at the same time he ends up accidentally adopting or becoming very close with, especially if it’s Eevee, the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords or Meowscarada (that’s probably as close as we’re getting to Delphox in Smash let’s be honest)

Hey What The Fuck

[trickstercaptain]

crew dynamics are always something i am sorely lacking in so if you're ever wondering whether your muse would be allowed to join Jack's crew, the answer is probably yes :' )
