"I'm not paying $20 for something I might only play once"

Weird because you'll pay it for a bottle of wine you only get to drink once or a movie you only see in the cinema once or a concert you only go to once or half a tank of gas you only get to drive with once or or or or or

Wretched Month 1: The Wretched April marks the 5th anniversary of The Wretched and Wretched & Alone as a system. Itโ€™s fair to say that the success of that game changed my life, and Iโ€™m still astonished that itโ€™s endured so wโ€ฆ

April marks the 5th anniversary of The Wretched. In the lead up to it, and in anticipation of my new Wretched & Alone game launching this month, I'm blogging my way through a bunch of W&A games.

The first post is, of course, The Wretched.

So true! The new one reads like the intent is be prepared to break grapples on allies or else you die. Given the increased deadliness of extract brain thanks to it being a save with half damage, keeping the Int save against stun really feels like a batter way to go.

Ohhhh good call, I missed that.

New one also says has the grappled condition from all the tentacles, a weird thing to point out. Wonder if this is poor playtesting, intended deadliness if you don't have fighter to come shove you apart, or more like carrion crawler that's just clearly missing rules

I get how wild this is, but I also just wanna point out because I haven't seen anyone else mention it yet. The 2014 version of Mind Flayer did the same thing, as did the stunned and incapacitated conditions.

I really think its always been intended to be deadly dangerous if you don't have help.

The degree to which I need to stop putting off collecting my campaign world notes into my OneNote notebook instead of over dozens of docs and spreadsheets cannot be overstated.

Getting Back To Lovecraftian D&D and Cypher Supers Wandering Alchemist Games - July 12, 2024 - Where to begin? Remember that time I finally refreshed the website and made a post about being back?

Hello all! I went ahead and actually put together a quick update post on the website. There's more to do and more updates to come (previews of stuff that's done, plans ahead, maybe a Ko-fi page?) but hey gotta start somewhere right?

It's a shame that so many things become victims of their own hype or even victims of "where was the hype we expected without ever marketing it". I look forward to the experience anyways.
