As a side note… I am really annoyed by one thing about Star Trek.

“Replicated food is not as good as real food.”

That’s ridiculous. In Star Trek, replicator technology is part of the same tech tree as transporters. Replicated food would be identical to the food it was based on, down to the subatomic level.

#holy shit this was a wild read #star trek

It's definitely rough around the edges, especially considering it is just being developed by two college students. But as someone who already basically rips apart whatever game I'm running and then disects everything that makes it tick, that's part of the charm for me and I can't wait to get a group together and play it.

making the first spearcrest Tumblr post

ok, I'm big into TTRPGs. I love D&D for all it's issues, I like pathfinder, I like delta green, ink, lancer, and most of the other ones I've played and read.

but by god, Spearcrest is so far one of the most deeply interesting systems I've read and I'm still in the process of reading it.

practically every other entry I'm thinking "this is one of the most inventive and interesting mechanics or pieces of lore I have seen" or "oh my god how did they even fucking come up with this this is so deeply interesting, cool,.and unique."

the words used and the way devils, fey, and angels are redefined, along with so many other tropes.

the words they use, it reminds me of homestuck in a really good way where they very uniquely use very specific or almost weird words to define things.

From what I've gathered the core theme of the game, is interplay and synergy. In it's introduction it says that it's based on the interplay if magic and it's effects in a nonmagical world. But I'd go further as to say it's also about the synergy of how different magic clashes and effects one each other; Furthermore the game is about the synergy of how you can use different actions and abilities together to break the system.

Spearcrest, the head of a spear, you are meant to break off the head of the spear as you use it. It is a system meant to be broken and by god I'm going to break it.

I'm going to keep reading and probably no one will see this ramble, but if anyone does and this sounds interesting to you how I learned about it was from this Dylan McVillain video that got randomly recommended to me a week or two ago. Just from the title I felt like there was something special here that I needed to see, and I fervently believe that I was right.

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

#god this is beauitufl
