Oscillating wildly between this and talking about elf game nerd stuff, as in life.

Honestly it's impossible to keep up and the subreddit keeps going to bat for known bad actors. I'm hardly an expert but if you subscribe to the Scrolls on Tape podcast it gives a great overview of what's going on!

That's even better. I'm taking an ER break but I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting the DLC if it means you can start a new game with a light greatsword or backhand blades.

The sweet spot is to make it not feel random, but make it feel like you can't see the game behind the game. Which of course requires creating a game behind the game, with just enough randomization to feel inscrutable but consistent and partially learn-able.

To the player, this feels like: You're planning to steal a royal carriage full of dvd players. A priest of the god of blood shows up and is like: hey here's a magic sword, no reason 🙂‍↕️ You succeed. Two weeks later the sun turns red, and the clerics of the blood god can cast Solar Beam now???

Not surprised tbh. Dinoberry consistently kills it on the naming front.

If you're doing it right every time you play one RPG you're playing all of them and a handful of TV shows and cheap paperbacks to boot
