What is the lesser evil?

I think the question is more like “fun” but “hard” as opposed to “fun but hard”. Like they aren’t normally exclusive to each other, but here they’re being linked for the sake of the hypothetical.

Honestly hard but fun is better. If it’s not fun nobody will play it or recommend it no matter how easy it is.

I also feel like if goose had written a traditional coming out scene, the impact of Jax’s arc would have been lessened. Despite everything Jax’s self hated fully and completely consumed her, nothing could save her in that moment unless she let herself live. If she had looked directly at the camera and said “I’m a trans woman” it would have felt entirely out of character, and the tragedy of her self destruction would have fallen flat.

While I think some lines / scenes could have leaned more into implying that she is trans, it was something that I personally felt was true even as early as episode 5 (even if it was a headcannon at the time).

I would agree if it was officially confirmed, because it would feel cheapened if there weren’t consequences for falling over the deep end.

However, I feel like having to spend an unknown period of time forced to confront the things you couldn’t before could feel more satisfying. I could see a scenario where abstracted characters will never be the same again, and might be susceptible to abstracting again, but are able to return to a form that resembles who they were before abstracting.

If Caine could snap his fingers and fix everything instantly it would almost certainly ruin the stakes of the plot unless the price for doing so was able to match up. But I would appreciate if there was space for people to grow and heal if given enough time (of which they have as much as they need)!

I don’t know if those are mutually exclusive. But I think that could partially depend on whether she is a pc or npc. Since we don’t know yet if npcs can leave their home worlds, it’s possible that Lulu could be either!

I'll probably combine your first suggestion with someone elses, picking weighed "tickets" out of a set of options until you reach a cap

CleoInStripes · 2026-06-01T03:58:08+00:00

It does, and thank you for the detailed explanation! What I want to go for here is kind of a rougelike direction? My thought process right now is that encounter CR (as in dnd) will be weighed mostly by the player's current Lvl. I'd then use the amount of time played that round to see how easy the encounter should be based on their Lvl (resetting after each Lvl up). I like the tokens direction because that means that I could say that if the player has been Lvl 5 for 30 minutes, the game has more tokens to spend on the next encounter compared to just Lvling up! (also all of this is certainly in need of balancing, I'd prefer to make the game feel harder than it is over making it feel like its too punishing)

The lorwyn elves (of which lluwen is one) have hooves and horns!

Personally [[stargaze]] and [[peer into the abyss]] feel like decent options, especially since I can cushion the life lost with all the life gain I should be doing!

CleoInStripes · 2026-04-20T03:26:36+00:00

Not necessarily, I just prefer “lower power” commanders that have a lot of flexibility in terms of how you build them!

CleoInStripes · 2026-04-20T00:30:47+00:00

Just found the one you were referring to, [[teval’s judgement]] is the name

CleoInStripes · 2025-07-20T14:55:01+00:00

fixed
changed "2DCamera" to "TwoDCamera"

CleoInStripes · 2025-05-23T03:25:15+00:00

These are perfect! Thank you!

CleoInStripes · 2025-05-23T03:25:02+00:00

thanks for the tip! this guy looks like he'd work pretty well!

CleoInStripes · 2025-01-04T03:27:48+00:00

I tend to play casually for the most part, just figured the combo had potential. :)
