Hallo! I'm John, and I write, DM/GM, and help localize scripts into English. It's been my privilege to help in the telling of some very powerful stories, and my dearest reward to see players resonate just as powerfully with their arcs, casts and catharses. I hope you Cry At The End.
Been playing a lot of Cladun X3, but I feel like I just can't get online to work without putting in specific addresses. If you've got it and want to download a few random D&D folks or Dragon Quest monsters, mine's at 9682-7428. I'll happily take a code if you've got one.

Introducing STARSEEKER, a brand new game from the developers of ASTRONEER.
STARSEEKER is all about the joy of discovery and the camaraderie that emerges from an evolving, cooperative experience. We hope you'll enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it... sometime in 2026.

Sitting down and considering fantasy species archetypes I'd put in a completely self-indulgent worldbuilding project built entirely to my preferences. Orcs get in free, obviously, but there's definitely gotta be a Plant Guy and a Construct guy. Maybe both at once. PF2's "conrasu" sound so cool.

Allowing you to write your own custom combat barks and callouts is one of the coolest things a game can do. All the more incredible when it actually vocalizes them as written in the audio, as it does in Freedom Wars.

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']:
Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

In my experience, games that give you tools to tell yourself stories can be just as memorable and powerful as games built entirely around more direct storytelling.
When EO HD was announced I remember I posted this in twitter talking about the appeal of completely silent parties in RPGs that you create from scratch as opposed to fully realized characters made by the game, and I was happy that a lot of people replied with "I get it now"

Proud of Metaphor, proud of my team, proud we got to have a part in casting this magic. If you played it, I hope it connected with you.

once more we have hit that part of the tabletop RPG where we encounter a boss significant and powerful enough to get a pre-fight cutscene. once more I burst into sony vegas like a husky taking down a poorly-attached baby gate

It is done. These will make some handsome non-coconut nanaimo bars. Or as my in-laws have come to call them, "Canadian crack".

This is a crazy price for a lovely, laid-back time. A good game for telling yourself stories.

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.

Picked up Etrian Odyssey Nexus again (after a hunt to find the cartridge) and settling in for comfortable postgame. Always lovely to have my guild filled up with people who I'll probably never field in the party, but would nevertheless like to spend life in a fantasy world with.
