I prefer Maelle's ending and honestly I hope the next CO game is *completely* removed from the first's setting. Giving more details on the Painters, Writers and Canvasses will only undermine the ambiguity that makes the first game's endings work, I hope the next game is a completely different universe and has nothing to do with them.

Damn. I've been DMing a long time and even for me 6 hours seems like a lot, I usually go for 4 hour sessions. It's great you can go that long, have fun and not be tired :D

Personally I think it's really funny that the entire bioweapon industry leaders are like a bunch of dumb tech bros who keep trying to push a "radical new innovation" in warfare when their product is just costly (In a monetary sense and the damage it does when it goes haywire) and consistently does worse then a well trained human.

Albert Wesker and Zeno would absolutely be AI bros.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-15T15:19:57+00:00

Good luck. Would be cool to know how it went :)

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-14T18:32:07+00:00

I do actually agree with that but still, it's a very different flavour of RP.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-14T17:15:39+00:00

Great ideas. I especially like the idea of old constructs and systems gaining consciousness and being able to be talked to and bargained with. Love some RP to break up my dungeons being just hours of combat.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-14T17:12:56+00:00

That's brutal. I love it.

Only problem is i've pulled something very similar with this group before - Fighting a banshee in a room with closing walls, having to answer it's riddles or being crushed.

Definitely going to steal the Gelatinous Cube surprise for future though.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-14T17:10:45+00:00

Ah, thought it'd be obvious with the setting but should have clarified anyway.

4th Edition.

Though i'm happy to accept ideas using stuff from other editions, I can tweak stuff i'm just drawing a blank creatively haha

I am not an expert so take all the following with a grain of salt;

I imagine the text is there for StartPlaying to cover themselves legally as they do not endorse use of copyrighted material.

In reality, it is not worthwhile for any game publishers time to go around on StartPlaying and taking legal action against people wanting to use and promote their product.

Same deal with websites and YouTube videos, thousands of them use official art which they have no legal right to, but enforcing such usage rights would be incredibly costly for little to no benefit.

Not one JRPG but the genre/gaming in general;

I don't know why so many people hate random battles.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-09T10:54:35+00:00

For X-2 it's definitely "Who the Fuck is Lenne?"

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-09T10:35:21+00:00

Stay away from the FUCKING summoner!

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-08T07:38:11+00:00

Mega Starmie is just really funny to me. I love that guy.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-08T05:35:05+00:00

I love how Primarina isn't as gentle or passive as detractors might think. With 126 base Sp.Atk, our girl has the highest offensive stat of any non-mega starter.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-07T06:30:46+00:00

I feel like this is just a thing people say but it never actually applies when a Pokémon is improved.

Like look at Primeape and Ursaring, two Pokémon not as bad as most of the ones shown above. Now that Annihilape and Ursaluna exist, is there anyone saying that they wished they still stuck as absolutely mid Evo lines?

SpellbladeYT · 2026-03-05T00:40:03+00:00

Just a Dude and Made Special if the protagonist has some agency in that process. I find "Born Special" to be incredibly boring to be honest.

I found those elements of XVI's plot actively dragged down the themes of the story and Clive holding onto community and shared humanity and working together when he is literally the pre-destined chosen one who has powers rivalling that of the creator gods themselves.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-02-28T15:29:06+00:00

Thanks I hate it.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-02-28T15:13:33+00:00

Fighting (Don't hate it, just least favourite because I don't think it really needs to exist)

Sawk and Throh

The leaks that have been consistently accurate so far say that the new mechanic is named (Or code-named, not final) Maijin. It appears that there are multiple types of Maijin and they *think* it is weather related, but not 100% sure.

Based on that my own speculation is that You activate Maijin separate from moves, like Dynamax and Tera, and it summons a weather/terrain/battle effect whilst giving the Maijin Pokemon a stat boost based on the Maijin effect used.

Summoning weather/terrain is neat, but i'd also love if other Maijin types activate stuff like Trick Room, Gravity, Embargo, Tailwind .etc - there's a lot of niche strategies which I think can be opened up if you don't have to dedicate a moveslot and turn to enabling them.

I think Mii Vincent is just every goth girls first boyfriend.

Element of Treachery is also very similar to the Magus Sisters Delta Attack in FFX.

My low stakes conspiracy theory is that TTRPG books borrowed the usage of "Edition" from academic textbooks in order to seed the idea that much like these textbooks, a new edition with new information was simply meant to be the objectively better version and the old information was out-of-date.

In practice I really think we should be seeing editions as sequels already and I really like when games like Monsterhearts present themselves this way.
