So many things you could do with all this.
I think it would work best as short stories in a larger game, as the concept for each would probably get repetitive quick.
I think it'd work best as a horror collection game w/ a hub that has it's own mundane horror aspects that lead into the stories.

Think this stems from my want for more mundane horror, not necessarily realistic, just not grand huge affairs. A sorta 75% grounded and 25% fantastical.
Like I'd love horror games from animal perspectives but as a human, a wolf dealing w/ a pack of feral dogs, ant w/ the dead chemical on them, ect.

This is an example of a sponsorship deal that regularly gets offered to smaller streamers

$6 an hour for playing (usually zero base pay) but the real money comes from pressuring your community to play it with milestones that pay the streamer if their viewer progresses & spends money themselves

Damn, welp guess that's one game I can cross off my puzzle game's list at the very least.

The current political climate has really been showing more and more shit heads that kept it quiet, or well, quieter in most cases

I'd also really want to limit it too
Besides most standard spell rules for it
I'd also want to further limit its range to a max of 15 and have my abilities limited if I don't have the mage hand.
(Tho would mean that I'd probably also need a few lax rulings from a DM to make up for some of this)

The way I'd wanna play her is max 4 levels in rogue, and everything else as monk.
Get a mage hand and be a bar brawler, using the mage hand to act as her lost arm
Letting it pull an enemy's hair/clothes as she goes for a punch or to block vision, throw sand, help redirect an attack.

One I've used a few times is the rogue that failed to disarm a trap, so she lost her party and her dominant arm.
She drinks her life away, letting her skills decay over time, selling all her old tools and gear to pay for her life, while never once selling any of the stuff she saved from her party.

I fear they may have the swalow understanding of women

And it feels like they constantly use infighting to make splinter groups for whatever narrative purpose they need for the story and to avoid boxing themselves in with any group and their stated ideals or goals
Tho they usually have a baseline idea for the groups
Like "Want tech. Use power armour"

Bethesda has seemingly decided that all groups are destined to turn bad or fall apart because being good and helpful inherently makes it so your cause fails cause of it.
I get they want to have their desperate struggle wasteland stuck in a constant cycle of repeating history over and over.

Nice! I hope you enjoy it when ya get around to it!
