Traversal, now on Steam!

Traversal is now on Steam! If you're a Steam user, head over to its store page, and you'll be able to wishlist the game if you'd like, and you can add the 0.2.6 DEMO to your Steam Library.

I'm working on updating the demo soon, and getting Traversal through Steam will ensure you get those updates automatically.

Though, if you prefer GameJolt and Itch.io, don't worry: Traversal's updated demo will appear on there at the same time. However, I currently plan to release the full, purchasable game on Steam with the GameJolt and Itch.io pages solely housing the demo builds.

All of that said, make sure to check out Traversal on Steam.

Noelle Holiday's name being Noelle is genuinely really funny actually. It's not even subtle: she's Christmas; that's her whole thing. It's like if I put a salesclerk in my game and called him something like Clark. Like, that'd be objectively silly.

Tactical Positioning and Movement | It's over! I have the high ground! | dArtagnanDnD Patreon

PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here!

A common complaint about the Heavy weapon property is that the only thing it does is make Small creatures attack with disadvantage. Personally, I think it's more due to the size of the weapon than the weight, so Strength won't help.

A sort of sequel to the previous post on relative size based combat. Now including attacking creatures of sizes based on your relative height and position. And jumping at them, I suppose.

Now returning the 3.x e flanking rule, except without that flatfooted nonsense, and as a condition. Because I don't care who you are, but if you can't keep track of two people, you're not going to suddenly keep track of the third person better. And not doing the 5e advantage flanking, because that's waaaaay too easy.

But the main crux of this was to make height in the battlefield matter, and then I came up with new ways to punish flying creatures. Inspired mostly by my players tackling flying creatures, including the one who basically ran off a balcony to do so!

And now to plug my stuff. I release homebrews weekly over on my Patreon. Anyone who pledges $1 or more per post don't have to wait a month to see them, and also help fund my being alive habit.

At the moment, they have exclusive access to the following:

Ascending Spells

Kobold Airforce

Life, the Greatest Treasure

Old Fashioned Magic Item Crafting

I also have three classes, and a splatbook over on DriveThrueRPG to check out:

The Rift Binder. A class specialising in summoning monsters and controlling the battlefield.

The Witch Knight. A class that combines swords and sorcery in the most literal way.

The Werebeast. A class that turns you into a half beast to destroy your foes.

d'Artagnan's Adventurer Almanac. A compendium of races, subclasses, feats, spells, monsters and more!

Europa Impressions: Come Fly With Me

Europa has my head in the clouds with dazzling looks and fluid traversal.

Developer Helder Pinto, Chozabu (Alex PB), Novadust Entertainment • Publisher Future Friends Games • Release October 11 • Played On PC Don’t go into Europa expecting simply a game. No, this is a mood, a flowing, wonderous commune with the clouds. That doesn’t mean the gameplay is lacking in any way. I’ve soared through a few hours of the experience so far and each level introduces and builds on…

If there's ever anything that needs to be added to Traversal to make the game more accessible and accommodating to you as a user, please let me know. If the current accessibility settings are flawed, don't improve the accessibility, and need updating and/or improvement, please let me know.

I want the game to be as accessible as I can make it, so let me know if I'm lacking in any regard, and I will try to implement the necessary features and settings to the game as soon as possible.

(Translation is a separate issue that I don't have the resources to implement yet.)

i will never understand the insane takes against having games be more accessible

Appreciating Brevity In Media Via The Local Superhero, Spider-Man

I've mentioned before how tired I am of bloated movies and sci-fi or fantasy stories with twice as many pages as they needed, but I don't think that this sort of endless extension is why I've never gotten into Marvel comics despite my love for Spider-Man.

I spent almost all of my free time last weekend playing Spider-Man: Remastered (originally for the PS4) and then Spider-Man: Miles Morales. I actually 100-percented SM:R (though there’s technically 3 trophies I’ve yet to collect since they were added as part of an update that added a New Game + mode that I’m going to do eventually, once I’ve had a break from the game), which makes it the first…

Prodigal son beyond time - Part 1

Ra's Al Ghul had a son. No, it's not Dusan we spoke of right now. Ra's Al Ghul's first born child was a peculiar boy that was forged by the Lazarus Pits—or so what he says.

Talia has never met her brother.

Her brother, it has been years since she's found out about him yet her father never gives them a name—he thinks them unworthy of it. Even if he was not present, her brother continues to be the favorite, to be the child their father praised most. His absence is a glaring hole in her father's heart (though she is not sure if he has one).

It is no secret amongst the league that Ra's nameless son was unofficially the heir, even when Damian was born.

Talia has doubted her brother's distance many times, and yet she finds evidence of him over and over again.

Her father writes letters, strange ones that vary in language, dialect, grammar, writing styles. She did not mean to read one when she was young, but she couldn't help herself when she had seen it.

My dearest, son of mine,

It has been an age since last I beheld your presence. I find it most disquieting that you have not seen fit to visit, though I am not ignorant of how poorly time aligns itself with your affairs. Yet still, I dare to hope that you might bestow upon me a portion of your time, if but briefly.

Your siblings have inquired after you once more. Yet I am acutely aware that it would be unwise to bind you to this mortal realm for too great a span. Their hearts, tender and unfortified, lack the endurance I possess to weather the long absences your path necessitates. Nevertheless, I am not blind to the hope you carry—to one day stand before them, whether that moment lies near or far in the veiled expanse of time.

She could not finish the lengthy letter before the letter vanished from her hand, a burst of green and strange liquid slipping from her fingers. Talia had been startled, too young, assuming that this was Lazarus water that has stolen her father's letter.

And she found her father looming behind her, his expression stern get there was amusement in his eyes.

"Your brother is a curious person." Her father hummed, "He's powerful."

"We are not... Allowed to meet him?"

"Not yet. Until you steel your hearts." Ra's nodded, "Your brother does not stay in one place for long. But he is soft hearted and loyal to the family. You give him reason to stay and he will stay."

His hand, firm and guidind, pressed against her shoulder in a tight grip. "And I will not let any of you weaken him."

On that day, Talia realized that her father truly did love her brother. In his own strange way.

The next time she reads a letter, Damian was but a babe of one, cradled in her arms as a letter written on green paper rested in her father's hand. It was open, the wax seal carefully sliced from the envelope.

"Father."

"Talia." He replied nonchalantly, eyes flicking to Damian, his eyes softening momentarily as a longing look slipped to the letter.

Talia's heart tightened, resentful that her father was beginning to see his favorite child on her own son. She could not allow that...

"Your brother has written to me. It has been... Almost a year... Since the last." Ra's hummed, turning to Talia, then Damian, before flicking yet another letter to her. It startled her.

"From your brother." Ra's sighed, "I made the mistake of writing about Damian and now he wishes to meet you first. Not Nyssa, not Dusan—you."

"My brother?" Talia hesitantly accepted the letter. "I do not even know his name..."

Ra's clicked his tongue, "He signed it in his name. You will know from that letter." He paused, glancing back at her. "You have yet to prove yourself worthy, Talia, but... Damian's birth will surely being your brother back home."

Talia's heart palpitated in her chest.

The prospect of her baby, her son, her child—the mere thought that her baby would be the thing that successfully brings her brother home was... Outstanding.

"Read it in your own time... After that, seek me out."

Talia does not know... What to particularly do...

But she takes Damian, watches as her father leaves, and hurries along to her own quarters.

Talia tucks her son into the crib, narrowing her eyes at the nursemaids that were hired to nurture her son. She dismissed them immediately, watching as they silently leave the room. It is only when silence reigns does she takes a seat on her bed as Damian slumbers in his crib.

(Her hands tremble as the letter rested in her hands. It was light, not heavy, her her hands tremble as if she could not handle the weight.)

She takes in a deep breath, takes a dagger and carefully slices it away from envelope. It's intricately made.

The letter is written in the same green paper that her father received.

The letter read as thus:

My Dearest Talia, It would seem that I am now to be regarded as your brother, for Ra's has deemed me his son. Admittedly, this turn of events is of my own doing, as I endeared myself to him centuries past and found solace in his companionship, coming to view him as a father in truth. Yet you, his daughter by blood, remain a stranger to me, as do Nyssa and Dusan. How peculiar it is that Father should act in such a manner, withholding such introductions with his customary inscrutability.

She takes in a deep breath, awes by her brother's penmaniship... And then suddenly the writing style changes. Morphing from the olden age, the formality of a noble, to...

Anyways! Since you're my sister, I don't think I have to keep writing to you the same way Ra's does. It feels awkward to me, y'know?

She was not expecting that change but...

I've always wanted to meet you all. But my duties to my realm are hard. I can't freelt leave. It's especially worse since my world's time doesn't correlate to yours.

You might find the change of writing styles weird, but in all honesty, I'm from the 21st century. It's just that time never did agree with me. Had to comply with the old man on writing like that since he likes it. Weird, right?

But anyways! I heard you had a son! Congrats by the way. I'd like to meet him too, actually. Aside from that, I heard from Ra's you don't know my name.

Well, he's decided to call my Danyal as it's the Arabic version of my original name "Daniel". Though I often go by my nickname Danny. But it has been a delight to write to you, Talia. Hopefully, I'll be able to meet you and your son in the future.

Since you have my name now, you can write me letters too! It'll find me eventually.

Your brother,

Danny

Her brother's name was Danyal... Her brother went by Danny.

Talia blinked.

Her strange brother was a being that traversed through time, a person who was born in the 21st century... Her brother could be somewhere in the world in that moment and in another time the next.

She pressed the letter to her lips, unable to hold back her smile.

She had quite the silly brother...

And amongst her siblings, Talia was the first to know her brother's name. That bit about being able to write letters to him made her finally understand why her father was so possessive of a name.

(In the Infinite realms, High King Phantom received a letter from his estranged younger sister. He really didn't mean to find family in the Demon's head, but he found it anyways.)
