I’ve made a d20 based dice game, I’ve made a card based game, and I’ve made a diceless game. Does this mean I’m gonna a have to get into Tarot in 3 years? Do I figure out how to mechanize drumming as story prompts? 10 candles, but it’s ice cream and it’s melting?

Quite frankly if @scarydogfriend.bsky.social is in the GM seat, you're in for a great and terrible time. Ghost Underground uses The Corrupted system to perfect effect. The editing is SO TIGHT and everyone is SO SHARP that this feels like a play at points

Me, anytime I'm explaining a game design concept from Soothwardens:
"Have you seen this anime*/animated show? It's like that"
I couldn't find the gif, but this is brought to you by me bringing up Frieren to explain "Risky Actions".
Enjoy this Castlevania gif, as this show is an huge inspo too
