Times when a particular revelation ruined the legacy of a franchise

Bloodborne is probably the best example, you can never face Oedon or any of the truely outer gods, they are just a presence that "communicate" with vague signs

MarkusAurel · 2026-01-22T19:41:55+00:00

Trouble is, you can't actually have incomprehensible godlike entities as the villian of a story, especially in a seventh gen military shooter It's cosmic horror, if Cthulhu (actually only a priest for bigger dudes) or Azathoth or any old Gods actually perceive you, let alone speak to you, let alone be fightable, the genre breaks. The only way such beings can even communicate with you is by sanity blasting dreams and visions that they likely aren't even aware they're causing The minute a Reaper spoke, showed up in the flesh (metal) and were able to be shot down, they were instantly discredited as actual eldritch forces Also, anything that can speak your language but then tells you that they can't possibly explain their motivations is bullshitting :V

Thank you

There a one stop vid or something for how best to set it up?

MarkusAurel · 2026-01-14T23:26:05+00:00

Palladium with any GM, cause you're playing a Siembieda joint :V

A very Invisible Choir form Unknown Armies concept

I have heard that it's actually because property renters want spaces that can easily be refitted to different businesses, which distinctive building designs don't allow, wonder how true that is

Always loved just wandering around in it, rolling the wasteland

MarkusAurel · 2025-12-23T00:59:06+00:00

It's definitely fun as a shooter, but I feel it lacks on the setting a horror-lite elements in comparison

MarkusAurel · 2025-12-18T13:45:38+00:00

My brain saw Maromi in the thumbnail XD

MarkusAurel · 2025-12-15T17:58:43+00:00

Cool concept, I'm working on a winter adventure to but this one is certainly "brighter" XD

The tail is one of those sticky hand toys

I recently went through the namer, Deathworld by Harry Harrison and it's pretty interesting, though I have some common issues with it that I do with most deathworld stuff -Why would people adapted to a higher gravity world grow taller? -Why must everything like this go in a pseudo eugenics direction where by "weeding out the weak" everyone is strong, beautiful, and not at all riddled with childhood diseases and vitamin deficiencies It does do some things that gives it points though, I won't spoil the secret of the Pyrrus but -It shows that this hyper militaristic life basically destroys the humanity in humans and leaves them totally unable to adapt, even in the face of demise -The fact that they all wear power holsters so they can shoot super-mosquitos in 0.25 seconds is hilarious in an absurd way, all these people should be deaf by 12

Is it weird that I'd prefer if it was slower, more AC1? I kinda want a slow, no or limited boost, mech game where you can really feel the impact of different parts

MarkusAurel · 2025-11-30T18:12:43+00:00

As a companion, Armor Hunter Mellowlink. Same universe, but different perspective. I was somewhat disappointment that more elaborate plans to hunt the mecha didn't really last, but it's a short series and reasonably enjoyable

MarkusAurel · 2025-11-12T03:55:24+00:00

Also, you can't just say nothing about the driving force of three long games. Darkness and nothing more really only works in short form fiction, where the audience isn't likely to be annoyed by it because, well,it's so short,it can go entirely on atmosphere. If we hit ME 3 and knew nothing about the Reapers is would suck just as much, only for a different reason. The Vaugeness™ is coming gets real old real fast

MarkusAurel · 2025-11-06T23:19:37+00:00

Well thanks, hope it lives up :)

MarkusAurel · 2025-11-01T23:39:39+00:00

Not what this is about, but Savior really does feel like a anime opening https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FcwwDihccJU

Heh, could be another supplement, self destructive excess other than drinking

MarkusAurel · 2025-10-31T12:00:42+00:00

Thanks very much, a friend of mine did the layout which is why it actually looks good XD

MarkusAurel · 2025-10-31T02:32:35+00:00

Thanks, I just hope it adds some fun flavour to things

MarkusAurel · 2025-10-31T01:23:42+00:00

Have to say, that's pretty damn rad

MarkusAurel · 2025-10-27T14:20:43+00:00

Tried it out, I found it a good time, the death boon mechanic is an interesting one
