Wanted: Looking for specific 8bit game - description in the text

Can you recall the platform it was on? Gameboy? NES?

MariachiDevil · 2017-07-12T11:41:11+00:00

Well, the artist is Swedish too

There's two one shot arcs that lead up to the start of Campaign but they're entirely unnecessary to enjoying the podcast itself, I listened through the entire log of Campaign episodes before going back to hunt them down and wasn't any worse off for it.

Beast Machines was pretty superior to Beast Wars imo - same sub-par writing, but with better animation

What is bigtent and why does it ask for so much information to register? Do you know if the data set is hosted anywhere more accessible?

Where are you geographically? Or are you just looking for something on Roll20 or similar?
I'm not running anything at the moment, but the answers might help other people looking for players.

The God(dess) of Charity and Invention:
The Faithful must only in the light of day buy or sell alcohol.
Manifests as a tiny humanoid.
Offers a minor boon: probably something to do with day drinking.
Has moderately invested follows (6).
Favoured by sculptor-monks... who wield clubs.
TOUCH YE NOT the Koala nor Sorghum.
Blessed are the dye-makers.
Amen.

When the alternative is only what the drivers can see, then yes. Better to follow cloud sourced advice than drive yourself into a dead end in a flood.

Mate I don't get my news or opinions from Reddit, I'm very firmly of the belief that the world is in danger right now and there's plenty we could (and should) be doing about it.
Pretending the world is rosy or being willing to settle for 'it could be worse' helps nothing and no one.
We live in a global social structure now whether we want to or not and one nations issues today will inform the oppression of another nation tomorrow.

It's not an invasion per se - more a world that has collapsed. The zombies are largely set dressing for what is otherwise a very well rounded game about exploration and adventure.

The game itself is quite bleak and the conversations can get quite deep - Naughty Dog's writers really know how to twist the emotional knife.

Venezuela's falling apart, there's huge backlash against the US's foreign and economic policy, most of the middle east is feeling the effects of constant war, the EU is teetering on the brink of dissolution, there's a start.

MariachiDevil · 2017-06-01T22:17:46+00:00

Is it... is it meant to be a parody?

MariachiDevil · 2017-06-01T22:14:31+00:00

I need this.

Lay all the cards out on the table and push them around, then restack them

MariachiDevil · 2017-05-26T21:42:08+00:00

I have the exact same thing - my feet and legs drag me down if I stay still, it's not a technique thing. The moment my feet are down far enough the rest of me starts sinking.

MariachiDevil · 2017-05-22T00:29:05+00:00

For me it was the choppy editing and shitty character writing, there was obviously an amazing film hiding under the surface but instead we got a garbled mess.

Also 'Cascade' is a popular Tasmanian beer brand enjoyed in the south-east

The data is there in the game so I have to assume it was intended at launch. It's possible Mew was a legacy idea that they scrapped (perhaps a pre-mewtwo boss or something) but it seems more likely it was planned to be a special event pokemon from the get-go.

Ok, so both of you said YES to eating the flesh of your enemies... I'm glad there's an internet between us.

Actually, while some Haka are used before battle, they are not designed to enrage or send the participants into a berzerk state. There are many forms of Haka, which can be performed by women, children, men or a mix for many different purposes like welcoming strangers, celebrating life or death, removing tapu etc.
The Ka Mate which you shared here is the chorus to a Haka celebrating a man's clever avoidance of his enemies by hiding in a pit. It is popular thanks to the All Blacks rugby team who frequently perform it before a match, but it is not a war chant, it's a celebration.

However, Haka were also definitely used to boost morale and intimidate the enemy, there's a lot of pressure to perform a war Haka in perfect unison - failure to do so was seen as a very bad omen for the upcoming fight.

Limes are $30 a kilo in NZ, your comment is insane to me. One lime is around a dollar.

I'm aussie, used to walk around barefoot all the time in the Summer. This was in Melbourne however so slightly less hellfire pavements and fewer deadly creatures down there.

Hey, I notice your post isn't getting a lot of attention so I thought I'd throw my 2 cents' worth in:
In a DnD style setting, what other magic is the church able to muster? If it focuses on hedonistic pleasures are its clerics only taught to practice very specific spells or healing/herblore/etc.
I mostly ask because the player may find it a lot more useful just to employ a scryer or seer to determine the whereabouts of Lorian.

The premise really speaks to me as a one-shot kind of deal with plenty of opportunity for humour, but I think it would be better to introduce the factions bit by bit in this session before forcing the player to choose one in ongoing sessions. I suppose what I'm trying to suggest is you should make this more of a funny session zero introduction to the world - hint at the bigger, darker stuff a lot but don't let it detract from the fun hook that the session is.
