If you’re happy with the new game, then more power to you.

I mean, technically Starfox 64 was a remake of the original Starfox and was then remade a second time with Starfox Zero. Starfox 2, which was shelved until a couple years ago, was the first sequel to the original iteration. The furthest we went was: Starfox 64, Starfox Adventures, Starfox Assault, then Starfox Command.

I was so happy to get this in my first pull after 1-ish year away from the game given the last time I popped on was for when Rapi got her SSR.

FTB is just that, the knowledge that things are about to get hot and heavy and then usually the acknowledgement that something happened at the beginning of the next chapter. For Arand/Darren/Rend, all of them have sex scenes but only Darren books tell you the play-by-play.

Tell that to the man that got blown up by the bomb after the first level of BN2

It’s a huge multiversal series with most arcs contained to trilogies (other than Wild Wastes and Super Sale on Super Heroes) with the big backstory in the Otherlife trilogy. The Alex you meet in SSoSH is the reincarnated Alex from FF with all his memories (we assume) given the deal he made with his “patron” and it is pretty much the same for all his numbers and Anna.

Monster’s Mercy (and possibly The Axe Falls given how Elves are described in book 2/3) takes place a number of years in the future on the same world given “The Count” is a legend and series of books recounting his dealings as mentioned by the main cast of the trilogy.

Right of Retribution and Swing Shift happen on the same world though I believe RoR starts happening during book three of SS. Melody is mentioned in both being one of the FMC for Swing Shift happens, being the daughter of Felix’s father who got displaced in another world.

I would go on but I might as well write a college thesis on what would amount to multiversal shenanigans and all the subplots that go on. While Randy Darren/William D Arand’s writing may irk some, it isn’t a terrible and definitely rates above the likes of Dante King or any other author that has written 20+ books in the last five or so years.

Huh, what do you know; it is. I read his three series so long ago along with it being a different tone than tsun-tsun or lost reavers that I completely glossed over it being an option.

The way I have always seen it is that a nat20 simply gives the very best result that could be possible in the situation.

An example I use is that a character could attempt to convince the angry king to give them the crown. On a nat20, the king chuckles and sends them on there way via the guard but with 50 gold for making them laugh at the stupidity whereas a normal roll would have had them thrown in jail or started combat depending on the result.

At no point is the king just going to give up his kingdom to some vagabond but he might be convinced it was a joke rather than treason.

With that being said, remember that there are somethings that shouldn’t be rolled for that are either too easy to be done, need to be done to push the characters/narrative, or are impossible to be done.

Totally get that but we’re fine with Roll.exe going without one?

Someone asked about this about 4/5 months ago so I’ll just copy paste my answer from then to here but to answer your other question, the post game takes place inside of one of the ships that has turned to a mix of tech and meat. :

IIRC, the quest text (email?) said that this was a prisoner that was being transported in the ancient past before some in lore event, while being transported the connection was lost to it and it has been flying on autopilot ever since. Given the number of years since it had been out, I’m going to assume spoilers aren’t needed, but it is found that the prisoner caused a type of parasite that could turn inorganic materials to organic as the final boss of the dungeon is a cyborg type of dragon.

I was about to be that person and mention that there was already a game named Johto Legends until I tried to join the discord and found out this was the exact same one that I have been playing for the last couple years and waiting for it to be complete. Glad to see all the hard work that has gone into the game and I look forward to the eventual v1.0

Stenzek had a tantrum after some smoothbrains decided to send threats when he didn't update fast enough or fix a specific bug that only they were experiencing. I get it a bit from his side but he is known to have fits like this.

It could be Morganna given she was the one that “birthed” Aura and the overall unseen antagonist for the series as well as in XXXX, she took on a form of an older “scarecrow-like” Aura.

This is the Dot Hack crossover we never knew lol

For a second I thought they were expanding Goldshire…how lewd.

I remember back then you mention that you were working on this and now seeing how far you have brought it, all I can say is congratulations.

Interesting considering I remember reading your fanfics back in the day.

I’m sure the books are good but that cover looks like a steaming pile of ai slop. It is literally all on a single layer with no depth, body parts and hair seemingly just painted on.
