Great opportunity to invest early in wildly high concept RPG themed sci-fi but also in retail hell moments like this
At least 50% of that turnover was the break room door. Our manager Jerry agreed to trial a gadget that was supposed to improve staff morale, so now there was a high-tech scanner mounted over the frame. If it didn't detect a nice big smile, it wouldn't open. Bzzt! "Come on, show us that customer smile!" it chirped as I approached. Jerry had sent the staff a selfie of the kind of smile the door wanted to see. Several people quit immediately. Those that didn't saved it to their phone and held it up to the camera, like I was doing.

Releasing my second experiment in branching into fiction in a little over a week. This one is "what if the Hard Wired Island guy got into litRPG". My third project is also normal
The cover of a book called Zettamall, featuring two people - a guy with a crowbar and a metal arm with a mouth in it, and a shorter woman with a glowing spear and headphones with eyeballs in them - preparing to fight a bunch of goblin-like creatures in working-class uniforms and a cybernetic wolf with a wheel for a leg inside a dark shopping mall

Six sessions into running this Adventure Path and I’m having a great time! We’ve done gladiatoral combat, feasting contests, fought off a sea serpent, and acted out the final moments of a hero’s life with their ghost to send them to the afterlife. Great sword and sandals vibes.

If you're running an RPG campaign, a great thing to do is to maintain some kind of journal of characters the PCs meet but also to give them star rankings like they were gacha game characters

SURPRISE!

I had an idea on Tuesday for how to do the Perfect Space Marine RPG, so I wrote the Perfect Space Marine RPG.

It's both a shitpost and a dead serious game. And it's, uh... 34,000 words long?

Anyway enjoy!!!

SomethingAwful’s FATAL & Friends forum thread has a pretty good write-up on This World Summons Too Many Heroes!! right now, including my new favourite summary of the archetypes in the game:
It’s Heroing Time! And then he heroed all over those guys To build your very own isekai hero, start by choosing an Archetype. The Bystander: Whoops! You weren’t even supposed to be here today, but you were standing too close to someone else being summoned or were hit by Truck-Kun and got sucked into another world by accident. The Demon Lord: Evil cultists summoned you here to rule the world, but you didn’t care for their vibe and you look terrible in black leather, so you dipped. The Hero: You were brought to Ceria to defeat an ancient evil. You blew through that quest easily, of course, so now you’re just looking for something interesting to occupy your time. The Myth: You’re never alone; there’s the spirit of a great Cerian hero or magic beast in your body. Once per adventure you can flip them in so they can wipe up the bad guys for you. The Noble: You occupy the body of a previously existing high mucky-muck, who by all accounts was kind of a snot. Now you have to navigate their life and maybe make things better for the people around you. The Reader: Ceria was the subject of your favorite book or video game in your past life, and you know more about it than even the people who live here. The Reincarnated: Only your spirit arrived, without a body. Unfortunately the summoning spell doesn’t do “making a human body” very well, and you now have the form of something completely different. Tragedeigh The Tragedy: You were summoned by someone very bad, who used you for very bad purposes. You managed to escape but now you have terrible scars and trust issues. Each Archetype includes a choice between two special background-style benefits. For instance, the Noble can choose either Disowned Heir (get better starting equipment) or Villainess (any attempt to bully people always uses your best Attribute).

Fun fact - these notes from Chiaki pretty much directly led to the Goddesses and Season of the Sage expansions. SotS especially answers these questions about Muto while bringing back that “yearning for home” theme to reflect that he’s an old-gen 00s hero in contrast to the modern player protags
Chiaki Hirai - I feel like the whole “other churches” thing could be a bit more fleshed out, like you did on “where you can find scrolls”? Maybe a few quick examples on former churches that may have fallen out of favor, or even other gods or goddesses that think Launrith sucks. Chiaki Hirai - And this also piques my interest in Muto, is he just really irresponsible? What drove him to think it’s cool to summon a bunch of people from other worlds in like he was done, to sow so many opportunities for chaos? Older isekai stories used to focus on the fact it kinda sucks you get isekai’d. Part of the journey was about finding a way back. Some modern ones have this emphasis too, even if the stories these days might emphasize more on setting up maid cafes, registering at adventure guilds and saving princesses.

The image has the header, "SAMPLE PCS," with the character in particular bearing the title of "Megan the Finder." She is depicted as a brunette woman with a bob haircut, wearing hoop earings, circular glasses, a denim jacket, a floral blouse, & a pair of black pants. She's carrying a stack of 14 books. The text reads as follows: Class: Mage Archetype: The Reader (Star Stream). Attributes: Might 2, Mastery 3, Mischief 2. Abilities: Mana Bolt, Grimoire User, Dual Cast. Weapon: The Finder's Index (Tome, Force). Gift: Catalogue Search - if you know the name of a book, you can detect where the nearest copy is. Megan had two big things to adjust to after being reincarnated into Ceria - being in a woman's body and having magic spellcasting powers. She's found tha both things suit her fine, and has even made a career for herself in the mage world tracking down rare texts and grimoires for clients by using her Gift. She's in the process of making a personal library for herself, keeping the more unusual and dangerous books somewhere she can look after them personally.

I had the chance to read this a while back and it’s so funny - every hero is the most undercooked character your friends made when you first started D&D, the dungeons are filled with terrible ideas, and poor Zavier is having to try and rewrite it all on the fly. Really great stuff
