This unit has been working on a game for the Cassette Case gam jam on itch, titled "Crypt Of The God-Gilded Chalice", and has been designing the cards that'll go with it it! The text-side is minimalist in its stylings. The 40 card limit is divided into 20 Adventurer cards and 20 Chamber cards. Below are how the Chamber cards are shaping up!

This unit has also designed card backs for both, and is just really pleased with how it's all turning out!

we won't be free from the dominance of d&d until every single ttrpg podcast stops including a d20 in their logo.

Like, come ON, there are so many great funky dice shapes if you simply MUST have one! Have a d8 in there, or maybe a d4!

C'mon, please live a little!

This unit has been slowly working on a new game, titled "My Hands In The Fates Of Gods", a studi ghibli-inspired game that focuses on the ends of their sort of stories, where forces in the world clash, where terrible things from the past are brought forth, and truly apocalyptic stuff goes down.

This unit finished the last page of the confrontation, now it has to work backwards from here!

A transcription is below the cut:

The Clock Strikes One...

Fallen to the ground, beaten and dismayed, you rise one final time to defy the Fates.

You can pick just a single one of these cruel Fates to negate and avert. Below each is a Cushion, softening the blow of a Fate unaverted. Follow your heart and record all that transpires.

The Weapon has scarred the world and devastated all who inhabit it. There is no escaping its destruction, no greener pastures or hidden sanctuaries. Burning ash, bitter water, and perverted iron shall be the legacy all inherit. Everything you knew shall pass into the World-That-Was.

If you have stopped the Weapon from firing at least twice, then there is some small distant corner of the world still intact, but migrating there shall itself entail great suffering and hardship.

The Fool, only wounded, laughs and mocks your feeble efforts. They lift up their head and laugh, triumphant and confident. The days that follow shall belong to them, they will have their fill, achieve their goals, and build a dominion whose borders span as far as the sky.

If you have obstructed the Fool at least twice, then the Fool dies a martyr’s death. They shall be remembered as a visionary cut down before their time. Their ideas, their actions, their legacy shall be passed down, and some day, some day a new Fool shall rise to follow in their path.

The full wrath of Nature is left unstopped. Your peaceful valley, the place you once called home, is destroyed and defiled. All shall live in terror for the next time when its fury returns, inevitable as day passing into night. The passing of seasons shall be marked by the Scourge Of Nature.

If you have placated Nature at least twice, then Nature returns unto the world in deadly fashion only once every few years. Great suffering and torment shall still pass across the world.

The People of the world learn nothing from these troubles. War and violence and division still stalk their hearts and minds. Someday there will arise a great conflagration, a confluence of many fools, and some new, greater terror shall lay siege unto the world. History shall repeat until it is in tatters.

If you protected the People at least twice, they shall remember a single sentence you uttered in passing. It shall be passed down with the reverence due to a saint, with interpretations to match.

Your Companion, one of the greatest gifts of your journey, lays before you, the light leaving their eyes. They are about to die, suffering a fatal wound that would have hit another, possibly even you. Fear and doubt swirl around them. Alas, none shall remember them long, not even you.

If you reconciled with your Companion, then your Companion is only gravely harmed, surviving, but no doubt living a much shorter life, one wracked by pain that ebbs and flows in waves.

You are slain, seen as a stupid girl who has wasted her life with dalliances and affordances given to no other. If you are remembered at all, it shall be with the scorn given of someone who left certainty for chaos. As you crumple to the ground, you know not if everything was in vain.

If you have shown yourself favor at least three times, then you die known as the greatest martyr for peace the world has ever known. You pass with a pained smile, a heart still filled with hope.

this unit wonders sometimes if the weird attitudes some folks on this site have towards trying to oust people or whatever if the block function actually made it so you never saw any post with them attached, and not the bafflingingly limited way it currently is.

Obviously this would not stop much harassment, but this unit still wonders...

[dericbindel]

this unit is finally setting up a patreon for its tabletop stuff, and its such a nervous yet exciting feeling. This unit meant to do so last year, but things kind of got away from it. Given this unit is still unemployed and makes only money from its sales and comms, this would help even things out a bit (although this unit is absolutely setting its expectations extremely low for it).

Expect to see a post of it going live in the next day or so!

Terrible, cursed thought from the other day:

Do the suitmation Godzilla films retroactively count as part of the mascot horror genre???
