#Year Zero Engine

[gridshock]

Terminal State is live on Kickstarter.

Terminal State is our new cyberpunk tabletop roleplaying game, powered by the Year Zero Engine. (You may know the Year Zero Engine from Free League games like Blade Runner, Alien, Vaesen, Twilight: 2000, Coriolis, Forbidden Lands, The Walking Dead, and Tales From the Loop.)

Terminal State presents a new vision of cyberpunk that is rooted in our present, rather than an 80s retro-future. A world in the grip of rapacious hyper-corps and surrounded by near-orbital rings where the rich live in luxury. A world where new forms of humanity -- fabricants, ringers, and neo -- now struggle to survive, alongside their creators. A world where the real currency is your reputation.

Terminal State is also a robust toolkit for playing your own cyberpunk campaigns with the Year Zero Engine, with highly customizable character options, weapons, vehicles, and of course, cybernetic and biomorphic augments.

If you'd like to know more, you can download the Terminal State QuickStart for free right now -- click below.

We hope you'll give Terminal State a look and consider backing it, because we'd love to share it with you. Thank you!

The Making of a Monster

New blog post at the Wongery: The Making of a Monster

(Which is not so much about designing a monster, but rather about all the things I have to do before I can put monster stat blocks up on the Wongery. Sorry if the title is a little misleading.)

I played it, the system is the Year Zero Engine, it's interesting. Like the free league publishing alien or Væsen. It works well for mystery-adventure with comical hijinks, it remind me the most of Spirou & Fantasio. It could be close enough to movie lupin, not quite 1 to 1 but that could be real fun I feel.

Do you know of a good ttrpg for a Lupin the 3rd type of setting/vibe?

So, apparently there is a Lupin the 3rd RPG actually in the works, but there have seemingly been no updates about it since 2021 when it was first announced.

I have limited exposure to Lupin the 3rd but the anime and manga has always evoked vibes of Franco-Belgian action-adventure comics to me, and The Troubleshooters is an action-adventure RPG that is aesthetically and stylistically inspired by that movement. It looks cool as hell, but I can't speak for the mechanics, so I suggest looking for a preview of it. Based on the previews it seems to be more an action-adventure title, but as far as I know even the Lupin the 3rd stories kind of depart from their crime story roots pretty early on.

Whatever you do, stay away from any generic "anime" RPGs.

sitting through one of those gross "youre not gonna get ahead but stiting at your desk all day and doing your work and logging off after 10 hours" HR meetings and it's so. they are SO lucky no one here is gen z and they are SO lucky this is virtual cause im barely gen z and i would kill and eat anyone in this thing for saying that to me. like its corny its done and i think anyone who lived through college applications 2014 onward is immune to this because its the same attempt at the same disillusionment from when we were 17 like come on. no one is buying this.

bummer that i got laid off last week but absolute W for me working on getting my health insurance ironed out, dedicating time to reading two new books for the thesis, scheduling regular meetings w my committee members, being able to go to the university library to focus on this stupid project, following up on job applications i had started sending out mid-december anyway, exercising more regularly again, participating in activities closer to my human values (im volunteering at this food bank every thursday until i get a regular job again, calling my representatives' offices directly in addition to my regular emails, etc), SEEING THE SUN ONCE IN A WHILE???????????????????, and taking steps toward medical transition
