Tea Vampire

Good thing our bandit-turned-hunter remember seeing such a thing back in the ruins. So now the group is heading that way. Some because they're friends. Some because they want to learn more about the ruins. And none really aware of what those ruins might be hiding...

She's been looking to become an alchemist, to brew some elixirs to help her manage her cursed condition. But alchemists won't part with their secrets cheaply. Since she isn't family he told her she would have to basically find something impossible - like a piece of an Ancient device.

You see she joined those bandits when they were a little more Robin Hood. But they hid near some Ancient ruins. And the bandit leader kept delving into them probably deeper than he should. And slowly he changed, becoming more cruel, till she left them, leaving behind some bad blood.

Last Night's Spell and Blade playtest:

The party comes back together after a half year apart. They are called together by the cursetouched hunter, who is asking them to help her investigate some Ancient ruins she knows about from her days as a bandit.

It may partially be a weapons preference thing. Rival Sirens specifically with some weapons feel near-impossible, whereas up-route feels more loose in that regard. I agree with whomever said the poison on Poly is real-annoying though, and can accidentally be a run-ender sometimes.

They can rip my em-dashes from my cold-dead hands >_< They're my favorite punctuation because the rules around them are so loose it lets me write a lot closer to how I speak. Also the first book I wrote I did on a mac-laptop and they're a 3-button shortcut on those. So I got used to using them.

Hopefully he'll forgive me even though I wouldn't use whatever magical powers he thought I posessed to just fix it for him. I really love these goofballs.

Normally around this time one of them likes to nap in a sun-spot that comes in through a window. They're don't understand that the sun shifts throughout the year. The cat wanted me to pull the bright spot down from the wall and onto the floor where he likes to nap at the normal time.

My cats have a meaow that means "something is wrong, please fix". Usually this leads to an empty bowl, or a toy stuck somewhere, or a door closed when it shouldn't be. They're also very routine driven. Today, one of them made the meaow and led me to a sun spot.

I personally play both for different reasons, but I can see why a number of people might want one or the other, or be willing to embrace the opposite.

Many (if not most) video games are just versions of this (some like CP2099 let you set your look but not your name, others like Spiderman or God of War definitely only let you embody a char with minimal choices). In the rpg space we find it very weird — but it's very common as a gaming pasttime.

Mind you, I agree. But I can see that embodiment of previously existing character is just fanfic, and regardless of the fact that I don't write it, I definitely can see how popular it is.

Pound of Flesh was brilliant. The way the information is encoded in that adventure is worth studying. So many ways to run it too (letting players focus on what's most interesting).

Ugh. I literally just had this happen again today. I really don't get it.

Two things. One, it can be a bit of a slow burn, and it's much darker than you might expect. But yeah I second this one.

Thanks for the advice it actually helped a lot!

Tried your technique. Made it to deep docks ^_^

I think my big complaint is that the currencies seem jank, and I'm not sure what they're doing with the 2 contact damage. I found myself grinding for rosaries inside of 30 mins and I was like "what is happening in this game... this isn't fun"

The environments are incredible, the music delightful, and the NPCs really charming (I love the singing pilgrim and the fighty map-sellers). But I've got too many other things competing for my time. I might come back to it.

Took a look. It's beautiful. But the balance seems off. I really liked Hollow Knight, but I've put this down already.

Oh no. Is it good? I've been avoiding it for now since I have some stuff coming up. Do I also need to cancel all content?

It's one of the few webcomics I follow closely. Has everything from demon duels using drinking songs, heists, tournament arcs, and dealing with casual topics like purpose in the face of inevitability. Good stuff!

Sunday morning swords? ^_~

I do love that tiger so much T_T

This soundtrack is pure fire.

repost if you're tired and you're not sure when you'll ever be not tired again

I was genuinely shocked at how much I liked it (and have re-watched it 3 times since).

For a hot second as it headed into the final arc I thought it would be yet another shonen power fantasy but no... they definitely understood the themes and arcs.

I'm often very critical of things people label as cyberpunk, but not only is that show fire (pun on intro fully intended) but it got the homework assignment.
