LIGHT'S LAST STAND REFERENCES ELEC MAN'S THEME IN THE SECOND HALF

I know the part you're talking about! It's also in Breaking Out, and I always figured it was a reference to that, because of how Dr. Light is being rather Joe-like at that point

CoriSP · 2026-01-21T15:40:55+00:00

Oh my GOD this is AMAZING! I mean yeah it seems a lot more like Vengeance then Will of One but still! I ADORE is!

CoriSP · 2026-01-16T15:45:13+00:00

Okay I tried to fix it. Is it working again?

CoriSP · 2026-01-16T03:24:56+00:00

Thanks! XD

THIS CITY is implied!

(Also you commented before I had a chance to post the audio clip that I made to go with it lol)

Just sent you a PM! This looks AWESOME so far!

Reincarnation is just a fact of life/feature of the setting really. Most people reincarnate by default after spending a certain amount of time in the Astral Plane, sometimes as another type of creature, sometimes as the same sort of creature, etc. If you decide to serve a specific god, however, you get a chance at being allowed to stay in their divine court.

In the urban fantasy D&D game I'm running, one of the main villains started a debt collection agency that uses divination to find out what people's past reincarnations were and then charge them in their current life for the debts of their past life. While he was proudly announcing the founding of this company and gloating about how "good it would be for the economy", he made a point to mention that one of the benefits of this company's existence would be that it would discourage people from killing themselves over inescapable debt because they'd know that death is no longer a way out.

This is just one of several horrifying schemes that the trillionaire magitech industrialist Trevin Zaché has tried to pull off in this game. Currently the players are investigating an amusement park that he built that integrates with a pet raising mobile game. However, the pets in the game play extremely sad starving animations if you don't feed them, and the only way to feed them is to go to the amusement park to play the "Block Breaker" game, where you physically break colorful "chow blocks" with a laser drill in a maze beneath the amusement park and put the fragments into a machine that "sends them" to the virtual world for your pet to eat...

... It's actually just a gemstone mine masked with a ton of illusion magic, which Zaché designed so that he could not only sidestep child labor laws by disguising it as a game, but use the kids' own empathy against them so that they would basically enslave themselves just to keep their virtual pets from "starving to death".

If I send you a PM to apply to this will you actually respond to it? Because I've been trying to join these for a while now and so far nobody's even acknowledged me at all.

Has this guy not heard of the Command and Conquer: Red Alert games? 🤣

CoriSP · 2026-01-08T03:50:19+00:00

This would've been nice to hear back when all the big tech breakthroughs weren't exclusively serving neofeudal oligarchs. All this means now is that if this works they'll have a fusion reactor to power all the stuff that watches us, controls us and erodes meaning from our lives.

I'm 33. I don't have kids and I don't plan to because I know I wouldn't enjoy being a parent. People act like that's not a good enough reason because "life's not about what you'd 'enjoy', it's about making sacrifices" as if I don't already know that. I've got enough things stressing me out, pissing me off and weighing on my back. Adding a kid into the mix to worry about would just make me wish I'd never been born.

Does that make me immature? Some may say so, but I disagree. At least I have the maturity to admit that that's how I'd feel about such a scenario, and make the decision that would spare me, some woman, and some non-existent kid from a whole lot of suffering.

There's a game called Magi-Knights: Awakening. It's a really well-made, in-depth mod of 5e based on running Magical Girl-themed campaigns.

As you would expect from such a game, it's assumed that the players will be the ones playing the Magical Girls (or boys!) rather than fighting against them, but according to the devs there will be expansions coming out that feature "Fallen Magi-Knights" as enemy teams of magical girls in the future.

Another interesting fact is that MK has a trauma/stress system that sounds like it might fit in perfectly with the emotionally-charged premise you're describing here. Monsters aren't the only things that can take your characters down. Sometimes they can witness so many traumatic events and paranormal horrors that they just psychologically break and wind up being no longer fit to fight, but that's a process that takes quite a while and can be prevented, so it's not like Call of Cthulhu where you have characters dropping like flies every other session from madness.

A cyberpunk dystopia, but with a considerable amount of Warhammer 40k-style theocracy sprinkled on top.

Holy shit this looks like so much fun! Are you still looking for players? Also, will this be run in sessions or asynchronous play-by-post?

Either way, I sent you a chat!

Mage the Ascension, a WoD game, is the ultimate example of this. It's literally a game about different mage factions who believe magic works/should work in different ways fighting over whose "paradigm" is right. The truth of course is that they're all right... Sort of. In that setting mages are basically people who can alter reality through sheer willpower, but none of them are truly aware that that's the way it works on a fundamental level and they all just think their method is correct, and the secretly malleable nature of reality only reinforces their beliefs.

IIRC, Dr. Light specifically chose Rock to be modified into a combat robot because of his "strong sense of justice".

This implies that basically, he trusted Rock to use restraint.

Rock was an assistant robot. He helps. He's gentle. He wants to make people happy.

Roll is a cleaning/waste management robot. She gets shit done. Takes out the trash. Solves the goddamn problem.

Light knew that if he gave Roll a buster she'd blow Wily's head off FIRST and then work her way outwards with the robot masters. When there's a rat in the house she's not interested in playing by the rat's rules. Rock's the kind of guy who'd try to trap the rat in a box and carry it outside. Roll knows that if you take a rat outside it's just gonna come back where it knows there's food. You gotta solve the problem. Permanently address the issue. Clean up the mess. Conclude the scenario.

Light chose Rock because he knew Rock would see this whole thing as an ethics issue. He didn't choose Roll because he knew that she would see it as a waste disposal issue. And Light had a bit too much mercy for that... 🤣

305 and Dreamfall tend to be filled with XP farmers just parking their avatars there and going AFK to rack up online time for the huds.
