Did I mention how gay it is, too? 💜

Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury (EN dub) - YouTube

You can find the (very good) dub series playlist here, and subbed is also available if that's your thing.

By the way, if you like the design of this Gunpla and you think you might be into Gundam but it's so vast and you wouldn't know where to start, then The Witch From Mercury is its own little alternate universe story, compact and complete.

It's free to watch on YouTube, too, I'll link in the reply.

I do love a good moon, this is known.

My late night milquetoast takes that no doubt someone who sleeps a healthy amount will find spicy:

Hi, I'm Nat and I am not a vampire.

Basically my position is that every RPG creates stories, while not every RPG is about story.

But there's a distinction to be made with storygames, setting out to build and craft a tale together, with mechanical support.

I just think it's more useful to highlight similarities than point out the differences, in order to foster interest and understanding?

If that makes sense.

I think there's room for nuance.

Personally I believe that every RPG *results* in story, whether crafting it is part and parcel of the rules/aims or not.

Character anecdotes, session recaps, tales from your table; all stories. Even if you're playing the most simulationist game of GURPS in history.

Could "interesting and groundbreaking sub genre" be enough, though?

It certainly seems to satisfy lots of folks who primarily enjoy storygames, and withholds ammunition from guys seeking to use the label to belittle, other and ostracise the group from the RPG community?

Why the need to push it?

(This Is the one I mentioned sat in my cart, the others as yet unbuilt.)

Aaaaay!

"Burrow" does not always apply to cute bunnies and ratties, nor even the friendliest of creepy-crawlies.

Sometimes "burrow" is a bad word. 😸

11 years and five attempts later, I finally have a smart meter fitted.

I almost didn't.

It has been A Day.

A heartwood focus would be, at their smallest, too large to implant it into a body.

Thankfully.

However, there's at least one circlet and one amulet that will burrow themselves into whichever fool that puts them on, and since Everything Magic Has A Name & History, nothing good happens. 🙀

Even as a second hand reader, zombie Impactor haunts my dreams.

(This is a different story I think, but the Geoff Senior art gives me flashbacks all the same.)

I put settings like FR and Battltech/Mechwarrior in their own bracket - settings so large that you can have adventures anywhere, and sure there's a timeline but it's rife to be messed with a little and still retain it's shape.

So campaigns are personal and impactful but not world-rescuing.

I always found the best route with FR was to see it as a massive library I could pick and choose from to make my campaign about that moment, that place.

"Ancient empire? Ancient ruins! Ancient threat waking up?!" was one thread I plumbed from a paragraph of lore in one of the many sourcebooks.

"Everyone in Skins" is probably cheating, but Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel and Daniel Kaluuya for certain are always Tony, Anwar and Posh Kenneth in my head.

James McAvoy in the Children of Dune miniseries and thinking "he's way too good for this" even tho I enjoyed it.

Daniel Dae Kim in Crusade, the B5 spin off, which I had to point out to my friend when Lost started, in order to prove he could, in fact, speak English.

Is "everyone in Skins" cheating?

I've bought two. Haven't built them yet.

Thinking about buying another.

Oh no.

Sugared pears.

Just... sugared pears.
