"As you pull the blade free, it begins to rapidly rust away. The legend was never the blade itself, it was the strength of the heroes who led the way.

That strength has caused the ground to shift, rocks fall, everyone dies."

WotC and Pinkertons.

This is one of those questions you ask, and let sit for months. Long enough that most of the table has started to forget you ever asked.

Was there a reason? Like, I’ll even take some Mystery of the Druids “kill a homeless man to steal his change” logic in this.

Ain’t nothin’ in the RAW that states a sentient pile of dust can’t play basketball.

No one else built a Walking Eye.

Look around. Who else has a Walking Eye? That’s right, Walking Eye, everyone wants a piece.

Not with Trek, but I’m a former stagehand and I’ve done amateur stagework. Spent a lotta time building and maintaining sets and props. I’ve been there.

You’re backstage, you’ve got how everything should look memorized, it’s all set up, and for a moment, while it’s just you and that dry run, you forget yourself. You’re a part of the show.

Eventually you step back, remember it’s all fake. You notice the little flaws, notice the floor isn’t just right under your feet. You were tired, trying to get something done. A lapse.

I genuinely believe in the magic of the stage. Not in the sense of a spell, but of the ritual. No matter if it’s on a screen, or in person, if you do it right, we let go. For a moment, we forget our world and step into another.

And this is how “Scroll of Instant Kaiju” began.

Is it considered regicide if you take down an empress?

Either way, time to take back the holy land.

It’s genuinely a lot. EMPRESS has an ego, and has started shit with anyone they can. This ranges from other crackers, to repackers, to the people requesting cracks. They see themselves as the hot shit because “I’m the only one who can crack Denuvo”.

I can’t wait until it’s revealed to be a worse version of Active Worlds filled to the brim with their insane ramblings.

When “God will recognize his own” is an expectation.

Shit, they ported that one even further on, too. Looks like the PC port was treated decently, it’s got higher review scores than I remember the first release ever getting.

If you drop the first, I’d honestly say try 2, it was a step up, and after that, anything up until the Wii U one(Maiden of the Black Water) is pretty solid.

Just be aware that after 2 until that Wii U one, it’s all Japanese vocals, afaik. The series stopped getting translated for awhile.

EDIT: Both at work and stoned, forget the title, remembered it, fixed. It’s the fifth game.

Which one you looking to try?

If you’re starting from the beginning, it’s clunky. The controls, the pacing, the acting. It’s all very dated feeling by today’s standards, but the story is genuinely worth playing, and the scares are still damn good.

I’ve done Silent Hill inspired games, but never Fatal Frame. That could be really interesting, especially if there’s only one Camera Obscura in play.

You getting hurt took me away from proactively healing you by killing whatever it was that managed to hit you.

And you better not backsass me. Triage system.

They make a variety of solo RPGs, these days.

Shit talk your players while playing your own damn game, with blackjack and hookers.

I’d swap one of those out for 'Cryptic Message from Future Self". I also really happen to like fucking with my players at times, though.

They need to think more creatively. You’re now focused on countering the enemy caster, and the party might be more distracted helping you to clear out the threat.

This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of, and put some nice pressure down.
