All those science fiction and YA dystopian books I read as a kid didnโ€™t prepare me for how mundanely cringe the current authoritarian power grab is. no style, panache, or sauce. Just a bunch of morally bankrupt weirdos with awful fashion sense and outdated troll humor.

It took me like 3 hours last weekend to get everything moved and saved to my desktop. The transfer your information didnโ€™t work right for me so I did it the hard way.

Iโ€™m coming up on the last dungeon and donโ€™t want it to end. I love this game. Never played any other Atlus game. I think Iโ€™m converted

My husband and I always pick one player per tribe after episode 1 for winner picks (you were one of mine from 45). He still has Teeny, and Iโ€™ve got Rachel & Caroline. I am living my best life this season watching them excel!

Itโ€™s going well so far. Still only 6-7 sessions in. Iโ€™ve DMโ€™d for all of them many times. So this is a new flavor they wanted to try out. We just saved an entire world last campaign. They are pretty rp and non-combat oriented so I think it suits them. Iโ€™m happy to have the new challenge too.

Very much so! Trying to lean into those elements a lot. Like if magic existed here we as a society would certainly moderate the hell out of it and create some capitalist, government controlled enterprise. I tried to give every faction and important NPC some dirty laundry to have exploited

He would likely go back to being a rogue like he was originally if he didnโ€™t go through with it. Thereโ€™s also a real chance none of this comes up this campaign. I plan on using this setting for several campaigns. The party is more focused on politics, gaining rep, & starting their own noble house rn

The Children of Mana regulate magical affairs in the kingdom. Being an โ€œOrphanโ€ means youโ€™re unregistered and can face consequences for not being registered. Casters are subject to testing of their powers and report new magical findings to the gov. None of my PCs are registered.

The PC doesnโ€™t know anything about their patron. I plan on trying to have him influenced into helping unwittingly. Because his pact is through the amulet the control is less powerful than it is for the others. So itโ€™ll be interesting to see how he sides in the conflict and the potential fallout.

This is what I wanted! It was imprisoned by the primary religious group The Great Fayth. Magic is an uncommon power in the kingdom. The Order are mostly brainwashed and controlled emotionally. They would say itโ€™s to help defend against Rokhan invasion, but theyโ€™re blind to the implications.

Iโ€™m not sure, because when I ask all I get is incomprehensible gibberish and temporary madness.

If I had to guess, though, yes. The PC came got their deal via a cursed amulet, didnโ€™t read the fine print, & heโ€™s in for a surprise. The Order folks very much want to unleash their master, though.

Wonderdraft is everything to me!
The Pit is where a PCโ€™s eldritch warlock patrons is imprisoned. They donโ€™t know rn. The Order, my settingโ€™s law enforcement similar to Judges from Ivalice, are mostly good paladins, but the upper ranks are actually covert warlocks ๐Ÿ‘€ Some tomfoolery is coming

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like โ€œTHE WORLD IS ENDINGโ€ and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Post your homebrew campaign maps! AMA about my setting

My homebrew kingdom is Abernia. It has court politics, a magic oversight organization, & a mysterious giant pit. The kingdom is mostly humans with 3 independent nations nearby (elf, dwarf, & gnome).

My husband and I pick one from each tribe after watching episode one going in mostly blind. My two remaining picks, Rachel & Caroline are making me so proud! This is the best Iโ€™ve ever done. Annika had so much potential, itโ€™s a real shame she went so early.
