Aaaaand now I have a new song to get stuck in my head that'll make me wanna write fight scenes or something, lol XD.

As for RPGs... Not sure I'd be much help on that front sadly. I've only played one D&D 5e game as of late- staring a Tabaxi version of Cloudwalker who was a Storm Sorcerer/Glamour Bard- and most of my RPG fix is coming from shows like Critical Role and The Unexpectables for the same reason I've only been able to play a single game of D&D: my current work schedule & life stuff. However, as for what I might be looking for, I will say that playing that game and watching those shows has shown me that I like RPGs with rules that are easy to pick up but not completely dumbed down. If I had time though, I could probably learn complex systems like that of the nWoD (New World of Darkness), Shadowrun 5e, or Eclipse Phase (which I really wish I could learn those last two because those setting/theme is right up my alley).

Setting/theme-wise, I'm partial to sci-fi stuff, though I do also enjoy fantasy as well. I backed the Sound And Silence lorebook for HC SVNT DRACONES and pre-ordered the Tal'dorei Campaign Guide that Critical Role made, so I'd say I'm good either way XD. Something in common that I like exploring in either science fiction or fantasy is, surprise-surprise, transformation and transhumanism :P. However, I think it'd be interesting to explore in a fantasy setting, as most people think of transhumanism as something being grounded in science fiction, ignoring all the potential that magic offers to accomplish the exact same thing. Soul Jars could be integrated into golems, animated armor, warforged, or humanoid homunculi to create full-body prosthetics; liches can achieve a sort of pseudo-immortality through multiple means that don't have to be inherently evil, such as with the concept of the Millenium King; transmuting spells and healing spells could be put to use universally such as imbuing pills with Cure Poison and Disease to create cure-all vaccinations, or using True Polymorph to help people who are transsexual to transition without surgery; and so on and so forth. Honestly, I'm surprised this sort of thing hasn't been experimented with as much in terms of fantasy RPGs in the past, given the amount of potential many settings have for such an idea.

Yay! Yeah, I have that song on perpetual loop these days. Might be nearly 50, but I'm still hip XD

Hrm, sounds like we're interested very much in the same things theme-wise. Good to hear. And yes, I'm weighing is my concept too radical or simply something people haven't explored yet - but want to. So, definitely encouraging to know I'm not completely cracked

Hehe, yeah, ya sure are . *Hugs you, purring gently.*

Your concept sounds pretty interesting from what I read in the comments below- a setting where, for example, necromancers are no different from engineers or achitects. I'll definitely look forward to reading it when you're ready to publish it ^_^.

*snugs* Thanks, hun!

I don't do much tabletop stuff, but I'm partial to more older settings... Sci-fi is great, especially mecha stuff, but to be quite honest I've noticed a serious lack of anything necromancer focused lately... That might be fun? Also, lite rules. I want to get into the action and adventure as soon as possible, story and challenge are fun but the most boring part of anything - a book, a movie, a game - is the beginning grind until you get the rhythm going

Thank you, Hun, How would you define 'necromancer-focused'? As a player or an adversary?

A player. I want a necromancer who is just... Happy. A good person lol. Everyone is like "A necromancer has to be evil and crazy" but all I can think of is "FUCK THAT NOISE I CAN RAISE THE DEAD THIS IS AWESOME!" Less Batman more Deadpool, if that makes sense

Interesting. But, I totally agree. I've actually got a writing project where necromancers are no different than engineers/architects.

I'm listening

Heh, I'll tell you when I publish In the meantime, you might want to check out Cold Ruins of Lastlife. It's a Dungeon World offshoot with some crunchy stuff.

Bookmarked for another time when school isn't breathing down my neck, thanks!

Bunny girl!

Hmmm. I tend to be more of a complex-is-okay player, I'm more interested in balance and consistent-game-reality background than oversimplifying for 'playability'. You can always simplify as players when you don't need the details, but it's nice to have a way to resolve disputes.

Interesting. Thank you. I know there's a debate going on in the industry between complexity and simplicity right now.

There always is. Playability vs. accuracy when it's a straight wargame, and playability vs. versatility vs. Mary-Sueism in RPG's.

I don't mind complexity, but I'm one of those cranky old graymuzzles who learned how to do calculus in my head ages ago...

I'm still trying to get my muse to cooperate on a regular basis... Everything takes more time than I have and half the time my muse doesn't want to work.

I've had to remind my muse that the only way I can pay for Ni No Kuni 2 is if she gets off her duff and writes another one-shot scenario XD

Mine is still giving me trouble, but I need to get my butt going somehow. I had tried working on something else to get me going again but some of the ideas I had might not work so well so I've been trying to streamline them since they were perhaps holdovers from an earlier version of the story.
