I love music by straight women that is moving and genius and profound but you can tell the guy shes talking about is literally not ensouled and shes fucking completely imagining 95% of what shes talking about. I love your beautiful mind angel

DOOM in Dragon Reactor, our mythopoetic mech TTRPG.

We ran a poll on our BackerKit campaign asking what system in Dragon Reactor people want to know about, and Doom won!

So, Nevyn did a dive into the system, talking about what it is, how it works, and why it was designed like this.

Here's some of the post. For the full article, go here!

What is the worst possible thing that could happen?

That's your story's Doom. During setup, the table establishes some facts about the world (IE; how does tech look and function, where in the universe are we, how long has the war been raging,), sets the groundwork for 3 factions (by answering 2 questions for each), and decides what their story's unique Doom is.

The game describes Doom best:

The end is not out there. The end is not coming. It is already here, a stagehand in black ready to lower the curtain when the lights die. (....) Doom is a ticking clock shared by the entire table that represents the amount of time left before something catastrophic happens. It can represent things as relatively small and personal as losing your home to those as large and widespread as the destruction of the galaxy or a successful power grab by a universal empire.

Whether or not Doom occurs isn't really the question- it's how long? Doom is an eventuality, one that the Pilots are (possibly) fighting against. In some instances, the Pilots may not even know of it. One of our playtests had a Doom of "the machine-god at the center of the planet wakes", but the Pilots were neck-deep in a revolution with know knowledge of this possibility.

Fictionally, Doom is an omen, a very real countdown and sense of pressure on the whole table--not just the Pilots. Unless you're very clever (and lucky), Doom will come to pass after a long enough time playing. While that exact amount of sessions will vary, the pressure will always be there. Heck, in our digital character keepers the DOOM clock sits right at the top of the sheet:

Look, people can argue against it all the want but if you’re going to have a maid it is your responsibility to mitt train her

A maid that hasn’t accepted that every mess she sees isn’t her immediate responsibility WILL injure herself by working too hard. It’s your job to be sure she rests and follows her instincts in a healthy way. It’s exactly like muzzling a dog that likes to get into everything, except instead of getting into garbage she’s mopping the entire grocery store when running errands

This is ESPECIALLY important if your maid is a rescue by the way! 1 in 5 rescue maids are former assassins or spec ops, and you don’t want to find that out after she guts someone on the sidewalk for bumping into you

Make a game out of it! It can be a fun bonding activity that’s enriching for you both, she might even start bringing the mitts to you on her own!

But even if it’s hard, you still have to do it for her own good

Mitt. Train. Your. Maids.

OPENING COMMISSIONS

if you want art like this to use as a pngtuber or whatever else i will draw it for $35. this is my first time doing comms in a long time so i will only be taking a few. if you're interested, check out my ko-fi which i'm gonna try using for this!

[griefsodeerly]

i don't want to keep reblogging my commissions post until people are tired of seeing it, so i have to try some other things

a bandcamp album that costs a minimum of a few bucks unless you choose to pay more sounds ok. & i've got a vaults worth of songs collecting dust beyond the uploaded ones anyway

receiving your input on an album name also sounds like a joan thing to do. ty for your time

Every time I read one of those age gap posts the age where you're still helpless and being taken advantage of gets higher and higher, like 26 years old is too young to interact with older people what the fuck? I have lots of friends who were/are well into doing a PhD at this point. My dad had me at 26 years old. You're a whole grown ass person participating in society, you can vote and join politics, you can work, you can live in your own.

This smolbeanification has to stop, it's frankly embarrassing.

my dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

i think everyone should program at least once just so you realise just how fucking stupid computers are. because theyre so fucking stupid. a computer wants to be told what to do and exactly that and if you make one typo or forget one detail it starts crying uncontrollably
