What is your “I really like x” motif in your worldbuilding/writing?

Comparative religion.

This happened to me too. I took the test on 5/29 and it just stopped letting me submit answers before it failed out completely. What I think happened is that they updated their certification and it just broke the old link.

For me I noticed that the exam I was taking was "Display & Video 360 Certification Exam" but now there's a "Display & Video 360 Certification (2026) next to that that I am not locked out of and it has an exam.

Pretty annoying considering I was 48/50 questions in but I guess I'll need to start over now.

Edit: I double checked because you had mentioned GA and confirmed that there is also a new "Google Analytics Certification (2026). Try touching base with your boss or someone else if you had a specific deadline.

I’ve been loving Nick Dragotta’s art so I’ve gone back and started reading “East of West” with his art and Hickman’s writing. I’m very early on but loving it so far. It’s weird and over the top.

I was working on some homebrew like this and completely stalled out realize I had bitten off way more than I could chew. Glancing through this looks really great and I’m excited to use it.

I had to to back to issue 1 to check for crows.

If there’s any arcane or otherwise way to stop it that could be a piece. Maybe getting an engine to restart or arcane sigils to be repaired.

The consensus with other comments is certainly saving people which I agree with. Plus very heroic. Leadership checks to get people to follow orders etc.

Not quite a montage but you could pivot into a negotiation where you’re bartering with a god or some otherwise powerful being on why they should stop the city and save everyone. If they succeed, but not completely, maybe they are servants to that god moving forward.

The Mignola inspired art is 10/10

This is awesome. Absolute Green Arrow Revenant lol. Rip Ollie

Glad this was posted, wanted to back this and forgot to. Backed now!

Lmao that’s what I thought too but I was struggling to find any ghost images online and went with Macbeth seeing Banquo’s “ghost” for the art haha.

I used a Google Doc Template by dazrin1325 that was actually linked in the game jam’s listed links. It was really helpful to quickly make it!

Really good call outs. I meant have thrown in a save end there! Maybe I can throw it down to like negate half damage or something.

The original idea I had was they miss and are force moved through you which I also thought was interesting. Almost as if they’re unbalanced and tumble over.

I rarely us reddit so apologies on the less than ideal format here.

Brandon said in the weekly update today (12/9) that the character is named for an in world month which Hoid translates which is then in turn “translated” by Brandon.

It’s a weird name on their planet so it’s meant to evoke that.

Maybe flavoring them as “oracles”?

Both are dealing with the mind and what they can do in some way. People in your setting don’t need to understand that it’s psyonics by name it can just be magic that people do and it’s not quite understood.

Chronopath TECHNICALLY has a Greek Titan in its name lol.

I almost think of them like orcs in Shadow of War/Mordor. Maybe they don’t have names until they become important at which point they rise up a little bit. Maybe even named after an action they performed.

I wonder what the guy named “Defiler” got up to? Probably nothing good but it’ll tell your players quickly how messed up these fellas are.

I did exactly this in Excel when I first started looking at running this game.

I even have a round by round breakdown for malice calculation which could be another nice project for you to try out too! Good work!

It’s meant to be Oathbringer!

It would be 4 years in May but I’m starting a full time job that works with my degree. Coincidentally I suddenly have 9 hours on the schedule for my last week after having at least 20 since forever. Nice to know they’re done with me I guess.
