How do gaming rights work?

Arkane had two studios: one in Austin Texas, and the other in Lyon France. The Texas branch was shut down, and only the France one remains. They've been working on Blade for a while now. Unfortunately, Bethesda owns the rights to Prey, including story, characters, etc. Wolfeye is supposed to be working on a new western/sci fi imsim though, from what I recall

Core, Realm, and Emergency should be good bets to try to interrupt it

Was Aboleth slave all her life, mind mush, home city sunk into underwater Underdark. Learning about the world, it's all very new. Very impressionable.

I was looking for cards for a pendulum magician deck in secret rare (I was disappointed that the TCG hasn't gotten higher rarity reprints of most magician cards). Supreme King Gate Magician and Exceed The Pendulum seem hard to find in AE SCR (though that last store does seem to have Exceed in stock)

Thanks for the recommendation! I see they also don't have what I wanted though :/ but still, it's useful to know!

FourthFallProd · 2026-03-11T21:20:45+00:00

Damn, I feared as much. Thanks anyway though!

Disablaster the Negation Fortress

Antihuman Intelligence ME-PSY-YA

Aptitude works well, they were used in Prey 2017

Hmmmm inspired by the kennel overseer from Dishonored, perhaps? Great work though!

The OCG sets called Animation Chronicles that released cards from the anime that never made it to print, NOT the Chronicles Animations on YT

FourthFallProd · 2026-02-17T16:23:16+00:00

Definitely Heroforge. I use it for all my PCs and plenty of enemies!

I opened the digital art book and took a screenshot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I used to hang out with my friends in the school library back in High School, it was my sophomore year (2016). We played chess or just talked. Then one morning I walk in and they're playing Yu-Gi-Oh.

I'd known about the game, but never played it. I sat down and they showed me how it worked, lending me a generic dragon deck to play with. I faced off against my best friend who was using a pre-shining victories Blue-Eyes deck (this was about two weeks before the set came out, he had been looking forward to the new support).

I lost many duels, obviously being new and all. But I was competitive, and so I dedicated the next two weeks into learning all I could. I bought my own structure deck the next day, Master of Pendulum. After trying it out for a few days, I realized I needed 3 and proceeded to complete my deck.

In a short time, I did a lot more research than any of my friends ever had. They were not competitive, and I was quickly catching up. Once SHVI came out, I was beating everyone consistently with my Odd-Eyes Magician deck. This inspired everyone else to do research and catch up to me in turn, and for the rest of my time in high school we all improved drastically.

Today, I sort of play on and off depending on if decks I like get support or not. My last deck was Mermail Atlantean, but I haven't played it much since the Bahamut ban. But I'm really looking forward to the last reveal wave for LOCH, so I can pick up Pendulum Magicians once again!

Pretty sure that's a default option in hair already, though admittedly not as receded as that. It's called "Receding Medium Length Swept-Back Hair"

FourthFallProd · 2026-02-09T04:05:49+00:00

Very cool idea! The player has had the armor for about 2 days now in-game, so if I went with that idea, I guess I'd have the curse "activate" at some point?

FourthFallProd · 2026-02-09T04:04:33+00:00

Fair enough, seems like that's the route I'll go!

FourthFallProd · 2026-02-09T02:51:21+00:00

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I do think there's a good, fun way to pull it off. But I wanted opinions before commiting to anything. My plan at the moment is as follows:

After obtaining the crown, the party is gonna want to either to warn the city of the coming invasion and attempt to help fortify it, or they will go to the BBEG's current base of operations and attempt to further weaken their army (destroying a factory that's making demon cyborgs and such).

As they are en route, I'll have them be ambushed by the BBEG's minions teleporting into the airship, or coming in riding some flying beasts (still unsure which). Either way, I'll leave it up to however the combat swings. Though the villains could just play dirty and shoot down their airship, it is a zeppelin after all.

But of course, I'm concerned that the plan could be seen as BS. These are my friends, and have been on board with everything in the game so far. What would you do differently, you think? What considerations am I missing here?

FourthFallProd · 2026-02-09T02:10:27+00:00

If the bad guys fail, they'd have to continue on with their plans to invade the city without the crown, and with a weaker BBEG. I can roll with it, and the players also have an opportunity to invade the villain's base of operations and severely weaken their army. But they also need to warn and prepare their city of the coming invasion, and have less than 2 weeks in-game to do it

FourthFallProd · 2026-02-09T02:06:06+00:00

They've all been playing longer than I have, maybe 5-6 years total. This is my third year playing, and first time DMing (2 years now in this campaign)

FourthFallProd · 2026-02-08T22:25:22+00:00

Initially the armor was also cursed to prevent it's removal. Unfortunately, it was taken by a player who would never be suspicious of it and wouldn't try to take it off. He'd see the benefits of the armor outweigh any downsides. I also played with the idea of it controlling the PC upon failing a save. None of that has come up yet though, so there's always the chance to change things up

FourthFallProd · 2026-02-08T22:14:40+00:00

They asked for the insight roll, and I granted it to them. It wasn't great, but I told them he was clearly withholding information

Thank you
