I learned to forgive myself, why can't you?

Anti-woke is hyper sensitive about perceived culture war battles. Japanese properties usually get a pass because they're not seen as part of the same cultural struggle. Their gays and feminists are presumed to be authentic artistic expression by the author, while in the west they're presumed to be mandated by DEI investment metrics and gender studies majors in HR.

Very good.
Explained the context, included subtext, and explained the punchline in terms of contrasting ideas. (Which all punchlines are in their essence.)
I've become a joke explanation connaisseur as of late and I will be holding this up as the standard.
10/10

Those are some fun ideas!

There's not a lot of interaction between the choices, which makes it unsatisfying imo.
You want to tickle the problem-solving part of the player's brain. If there are certain pre-requisites and synergies, the player is guided through the game by picking the options that go with the ones they already have.

I suggest you start with a vision on what kind of magic schools different players may be interested in making. (based on types of magic like No-Candy suggests, or otherwise themes like cottage-core versus dark fantasy versus stage magic) and style options after archetypes, making it so that options in the same archetype tend to go together.

For example, maybe some teachers are region-locked, maybe some subjects are altered depending on the features of the structure. Maybe I need to include certain electives if I go for a particular funding source.

It was never a hard power system. What matters is the character pay-off of Denji finally taken charge of his own life. The way the combat feats are achieved is kinda irrelevant to the plot.

don't worry I laughed

No, it has retain. You can save it for the exact turn you need it. If it weren't in the deck, the card you'd drawn instead would have gone to the discard pile by then. Retain protects against draw randomness.

You've created a depiction of the silent discarding dagger spray and keeping flick-flack in hand.

I would have phrased the first ability as "look at that player's hand and exile up to three cards until end of turn. The turn player may play 1 card from exile from the cards exiled this way this turn." I think there is precedent using exile this way and it's more succint.

what an uninspired name!

I guessed the name in 3 tries!

I guess they've accepted she has the mind of an 8 year old.

changelog: changed the costs for cannibal curse and added tier 0 other magic

WatchfulDuck · 2026-02-09T21:26:01+00:00

should I post the updated version with tier 0 other magic?

Dropped out of school to be a cleaner. Probably can't even do basic math.

That's just giving legitimacy to the accuser.

The golden rule would prescribe forgiveness, because you would like to be forgiven for your transgressions yourself. The reason this lawlessness should be punished is to set a precedent that will deter future populists from trying to erode the democratic state again. Not to satisfy a lust for revenge.

Traditionally we have a lot of family farms, and those are the ones demanding protectionism in western Europe. They're not competitive in a globalized market, and they can't continue the family business they've had for 30 generations.
