Yeah, definitely a bit of a longer read, and I feel like the ending of the article could have had more of a completed thought / conclusion, but all the same it really got me thinking in a good way.
I think I the article is really good because it does capture a feeling I have been trying to focus on for my next game - that feeling of doing something cool.
A friend showed me ~30 seconds of gameplay and it reminds me of the flash game Stick RPG - looks like fun!
Ahhh nice! I didn't realize this one was here too not just on reddit 😁
Oh wow, I did not know I needed this in my life! New sub here.
Fingers crossed, I have been sticking with samsung for its Dex desktop interface, but this could be a serious game changer!
Yeah, that is a bummer for sure. I use my nextcloud server and Immich a ton for files and photos, but even so, on device storage is still necessary for a lot of things.
I like it, as long as there is a why (and it does not even have to be obvious, it can be discovered as the story progresses). I like your solution, I'm always a sucker for giant cosmic space god heads.
I build for ttrpgs (GURPS in particular) and like to run many campaigns in one world, so having some believable inter-nation politics / conflict is a must.
Also, if there are gods or super powerful beings, even high level spell casters there needs to be a good solid reason why they aren't the ones who are saving the world. The Forgotten Realms made me question that too much, as a player I was meeting all these high level beings and they told me to go into the pit of evil bad guys who are going to take over the world.
I think I agree, especially when those abilities are tricky to line up, are situational, or an option of a few choices, etc. It's important not to gatekeep how people have fun or how they feel cool!
