Ignoring all the obvious things like the names being different, there's so many other things that should have clued me in as well. Idk why this took me so long

I started listening to both Kill the Computer and Ill Conceived around the same time a few months ago and I'm a little embarrassed that it was only within the past week or so that I realized that Josh and Caleb were actually different people.

This turned out really well!

in retrospect in the wake of the epstein files being released, no wonder ‘me too’ was met with such anger and ultimately those in power it meant to target never face many consequences

Oh god what? What? no. oh no. no no no

That shit is toxic. I'm glad that people have been demanding better of dems because god damn, they've been worse than useless

My god, the cockpit on this is gorgeous

Omg wait you removed the cloth? That might have been a smart decision, how hard was it to clean up?

Still working on mine lol. The back cloth is hard to work with

This is the Deer version of Age of Mythologies "Petsuchos" isn't it? God I loved those laser crocodiles

That matches what I've read too. There was an 'oversaturated' market or whatever following the pandemic and AI/LLMs are an convenient excuse to let people go without making your company look likes it's struggling

I love the modern Locust so much, but I can't deny that the classic one has so much more menace to it!

Oh nice! That turned out well, I just painted him earlier this month and he was a lot of fun

to be clear, 'minion squads' 'malice' 'hero points' and other mechanics are all implemented really well. I was initially really worried about those parts but its very well built and updated.

Preach. It almost never means a genuine misanthrope, its always just some person who 'isn't afraid to say it like it is' or some bullshit. The kind of person that melts the second a light is shone on their own in-group and community.

I know what you mean! They built a pretty good system in Foundry, but this still feels like something that at its easiest, plays on the tabletop

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

Which is totally fine obviously, the game is so fun in melee you should never take that away. But also, feels like you need to add a tommygun? With a 2-3 target signature ability that only works if the targets are within 2 squares of each other or something?

Oh also! Did you ever come up with or find kits for 20s era weapons?

Haha volcano portals are sick. I feel like I'll probably maintain some kind of summoning, if only because multiple campaigns have those elements. (Blackbottom for example) I think the only difference is that it's from center of earth and not like, a hell plane

You gotta follow your heart. I've run into my own issues with devils given that I don't really want to have planar type stuff? Anyway I put hell in the center of the earth. Which is not original I know.

Lol, not what my first thought would have been but you can probably make it work. Any reason you didn't go with devils? It's just, they're literally ALL legal themed. The artwork is great

My hope is very much that many of these countries will pull back from the brink and recognize the danger, but it's hard to know what will happen. Especially since wealth inequality is at the root of so much of this

"we'd never accept something like that" feels a lot nicer than "that could be us soon if we stay on this path". But maybe that's just from my perspective? I'm only a recent immigrant to Australia

So they think there's something different about Americans to make them more compliant or something. I'd argue that America is just very late stage capitalism combined with its imperialism that's made it fall apart faster. But the pieces are still present in other countries

I think racism is involved to some degree, in that minorities are being seen as the "other" and thus people give their stories as much weight and pay attention to them. But I also think that people don't understand that their on the same track as the US, just slower....

But yeah - active antagonists feel like an important component in communicating dangers and stakes effectively. Which, now that I'm thinking about, is something I'm not doing well at the moment for Queen B. Hmmm

Haha, good luck! I've technically got another chance to refine my approach since I'm running Delian Tomb with my Melbourne group too - we just started this year though so I've got some time before we get there.

At no point did I figure out a way to make Targon pop out in a unique way though?

Possibly could have been solved if I had narrated better? As it was Mara being a scholar and approaching the Tactician because he was literate made one good point of non-confrontational connection. Them slowly growing suspicious and investigating happened naturally and was fun
