TIL Space Wars Explained exists in Star Wars canon now 👀

You just inadvertently answered one of the burning questions I had about about Cyberpunk 2013/2020 rpg - whether their cellphones were heavy enough give someone a concussion.

Apparently yes.

If I am honest it was Immortal: the Invisible War. Sure, it was a very odd game and it so wanted to be like the World of Darkness, but as a small press book it blew me away with its cosmology, ideas, and presentation.

It was my first glimpse into what smaller press could accomplish.

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?

The fractiousness of the Traditons is well known.

But you’re deflecting. Your Order was founded to protect Sleepers. At least that is what the Craftmasons believed until you knifed them in the back.

You are now “the Man”. Act like it and stop making excuses for your own incompetence

Please. This rationality only exists because you, like all your shit, engineered it.

And again, what did you expect the Council to do? They might have at one point been able to magick the shit out of it, but things to your manipulation of the Consensus, all they’re get is Paradoxed to ash.

And by area I mean theatres. Yes, I am that old…

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 5d

Star Wars. Once it hit the area I was hooked on the franchise. I had the trading cards, action figures, etc.

3. What is one film you always associate with your childhood?

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 5d

I am looking forward to seeing what you and your team have created.

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 5d

What could one to do, even if the Council knew, when the ancient sites are scourged, the archmagi are slain, and the Consensus is hobbled.

You have the global network, the resources and the means to “research”. You set yourself up as defenders of this malformed reality you’ve spawned.

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 5d

But THIS was your solution??? You’ve had centuries to plan for this situation. Gehenna should have been near the top of the list…and it’s a domestic threat on this side of the gauntlet.

Or were you too busy harassing pagans and kicking over Tesla Coils to come up with a more elegant solution?

Good gosh, there is a lot of Crowdfunds lately.

I've already had to readjust because of finances - I want to back a bunch more than I have, but I don't have the cash flow right now.

Some I don't back I'll come back later in Late Pledges - just because I don't back now doesn't mean I won't later.

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 6d

This was an easy back.

I've been looking for a weird western game to replace a certain other setting who's owner I know longer wish to support.

This is it.

Ah, yes. The folks who literally used a Spirit Nuke to end the Week of Nightmares would know about that.

Sure you dusted an Antediluvian, but at what cost: Destroying your chain of command, devastating the cosmic order, and creating an even greater threat to reality.

Definitely experts.

Etherites aren't in the habit of poking all the Star Squids in the Deep Umbra like YOUR Void Engineers are. Maybe if they weren't the Deep Umbra with their technological horror ships, these EBE's wouldn't fucking know about our little Mudball...

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 6d

Hey @thetechnocracy.bsky.social , isn’t this something your Void Engineers should be dealing with?

Or are you too busy sending the Syndicate to threaten Reality Deviants with foreclosure…

There is of course an actual campaign in the last few hours... if you were worried about probability curves and @armadajosh.bsky.social has soothed any concerns then you can back the 2d10 game here ;)

A lesson I’ve learned (and sometimes have to relearn) is not to shit on something that someone is excited for.

If they invite commentary, sure comment. But if they are proclaiming their love of something that you don’t, just move along and keep your opinion to yourself.

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 6d

The problem is that what you doing flies in the face of everything you’ve done, and claim to be doing now.

The very fact that you want to have communications with the very things you are sworn to eliminate, does make one wonder if the change is shifting tactics or moral decay…

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 6d

That’s the thing. Whatever you believe Control was before the Week of Nightmares, or Nephandic infiltration after, they’ve been dealing with corruption for well over a century. Blood bonds are just a drop in the bucket.

Don’t you literally have a Convention with the Data Sphere?

There are not many of us who know about you - since you control the system, I am sure you can figure it out.

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 6d

Or you have tried to eliminate them and failed so utterly that you might as well just let them be to avoid further embarrassment.

Doc Steve @docsteve2020.bsky.social · 6d

What’s clear is the people who actually could get shit done in the Technocracy, we’re on the wrong side of the Dimensional Anomaly during the Avatar Storm, and you’ve never recovered.

The Second Inquisition is far more a threat than you ever were, but I am sure you will take credit for them too…
