meeting wyll at the grove, as someone who the tieflings trust enough to train their children, says so much about him. it's so sad that he doesn't get explored in acts 2-3 as deeply as the other companions, when his problems are equally intense. the average player probably long rests once before coming across the grove, but even if not, in that time wyll has already proven to the tieflings that they can rely on the Blade of Frontiers.

this is the immediate first thing he chooses to do after being condemned to slow death via ceremorphosis. his priority list in the first conversations with tav is: 1) hunt down a dangerous devil, 2) help zevlor with the goblins, 3) once nothing threatens the tieflings he will gladly search for a tadpole cure. wyll is perpetually his own last priority, and i wonder if it has to do with the lore about souls.

if he believes mind flayers' souls have been destroyed, and fiend warlocks will all have their souls sent to the hells after death, then becoming a mind flayer isn't the worst possible way for him to die. he would never become a mindless monster to save his own soul, but he's not gripped by horror the way that some of the other origin characters are. lae'zel has been made revoltingly impure to her people, astarion is terrified of losing the scrap of bodily autonomy he just regained, gale is guilt-ridden over the orb detonation if he dies, shadowheart has to survive to prove herself to her cult leader, and karlach has also just regained bodily autonomy and is desparate to live.

this is just another quest for the Blade, whose persona guards wyll ravengard against the vice of self-concern when he ought to be concerned for those in need.

My favourite thing about hermitcraft boat boys is Joel casually inserting the obession bit in every episode (I'd say smoothly but Joel's never done anything smoothly in his life) while Etho very awkwardly inserts trying to poorly act out his side of the same bit now and then like a D&D player who just realized they created a pc out of their comfort zone.

Thinking about the casual genderqueer-ness in Rogue. Like, it's implied that Rogue is a humanoid alien (he refers to Ruby and Emily as humans, and cosplay as an "ancient earth tradition"), and if not, he's at least a human time traveler, it's never explicitly stated (the Doctor only introduces him as an "outer-space bounty hunter"). But either way, when the Doctor asks about the person he lost, he talks about said person without mentioning any gender until the end, when he says "and at the end of that day...I lost them" and it's such a small line but like. To know there's genderqueer people in either the future or other species that have at least some concept of a gender binary (or maybe they don't, but still) means SO MUCH. Like. Either we're still there, or we're not alone in the vastness of space.

Additionally, the Chuldur make a lot of casual references to shapeshifting to another gender. When the Duchess reveals who she is to Lord Barton, he says "I wanted to be her next". The Duchess goes on and on about how much she'd love to be the doctor, and when she goes 'I want to be the doctor. Who wants to fight for the other one" (Rogue), the Chuldur LARPing as Miss Talbot goes "me, me, me". Later when the Duchess is plotting she says "I can be king". And later, Miss Talbot also says 'I want to be [the Doctor], I want it, I want it!" AND at the end, the Duchess "give[s Emily her] full permission [to] become the Doctor". Obviously they couldn't have the character actually switch gender cos of the actors, but just to casually mention that gender fluidity, and that much is just. So important. Just to so blatantly confirm that aliens can and DO have different perceptions of sex and gender and that it's fluid is just. It's so comforting to see that so casually.

PAST LIVES (2023) PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue from the film, adjust as necessary

who do you think they are to each other?

i guess that doesn't make sense.

why are you crying?

what did you decide?

i will probably marry him.

you want to go on a date with him?

if you leave something behind, you gain something, too.

you're really leaving? you're never coming back?

there was so much in it that i responded to, but the one phrase that sticks with me the most is the line "the long journey is rotting."

who else should we look up?

think of it as a blessing that you broke up, and consider this a new beginning.

of course you miss her, you moron.

do you have a secret girlfriend or something?

who's messaging you at 3AM?

thank you for this meal.

did you drink a lot last night?

why are you in such a good mood?

i recognize you.

how are we meeting again like this?

i didn't even know that you remembered me!

i just looked for you as a joke, then i saw that you'd been looking for me.

i tried really hard to find you.

do you still cry a lot?

you would always stay with me whenever i was crying.

you can't cry in new york city.

i'm a really fun person to talk to.

what time is it there?

it doesn't make a lot of sense, but... can i even say something like this? i missed you.

i only speak korean with you and my mom.

you're the same as the 12 year old kid in my memory.

have you seen eternal sunshine of the spotless mind?

will you come to new york sometime?

will you come to seoul sometime?

i want us to stop talking to each other for a while.

i want to accomplish something here.

what are you sorry about? were we dating or something?

tonight, we drink 'til we die.

you got the worst room.

maybe you and i were somebody to each other in another lifetime.

do you believe that? that you and i knew each other in another life?

it's going to rain the whole time you're there.

i missed you. i was disappointed.

we're not together right now.

do you not want to get married?

i'm too ordinary.

my job is ordinary, my income is ordinary. it's all ordinary.

is it hard to get married if you don't make a ton of money?

want me to take a photo of you?

you look good.

why do you fight?

it's like planting two trees in one pot. our roots are finding their place.

you're worrying about me?

getting married is hard for idealistic people like you.

why did you look for me?

i just wanted to see you one more time.

i think i was a little pissed off because you just left.

you're right. there's nothing to be sorry about.

i don't have a right to be mad.

i'm not gonna miss my rehearsals for some dude.

we're not meant for each other.

we slept together because we both happened to be single.

you make it sound so romantic.

that's not how life works.

this is my life. and i'm living it with you.

this is where i ended up. this is where i'm supposed to be.

it's just that you make my life so much bigger, and i'm wondering if i do the same thing for you.

you're forgetting the part where i love you.

you never sleep talk in english. you only dream in korean.

i didn't know that. you never told me.

most of the time i think it's cute, but sometimes... i don't know. i get scared.

you dream in a language that i can't understand. there's this whole place inside of you where i can't go.

you really are exactly the same as i remember you.

when we stopped talking... i really missed you. did you miss me?

i don't know, seeing you again and being here makes me have a lot of weird thoughts.

what if you had never left? if you hadn't left like that, and we just grew up together, would i have still looked for you?

would we have dated? broken up? gotten married? would we have kids together?

you had to leave because you're you.

i think there was something in our past lives.

i never thought i'd be part of something like this.

i'm really glad you came here. it was the right thing to do.

Living Steel is another game, like Cyborg Commando, that looms large in my mind because of ads in Dragon Magazine. I also reflexively connect them both to Terminator for reasons I don’t quite understand. This is the 1988 hardcover; there was a 1987 box set as well.

So, this game is powered a simplified version of Leading Edge’s small arms combat system released the previous year called Phoenix Command (you saw that earlier this month, in fact!). That means it has really complex mechanics that, while they feel satisfyingly realistic, they also take oceans of table time to resolve a few seconds of action. I don’t really care about the system, though, I’m interested in the world — it’s really the only original setting created by Leading Edge and it is interesting!

So, interplanetary human empire. Oppressive, fascistic. It has silenced all dissent, but an outside invasion by aliens, the Spectrals, essentially shatters that control. That’s the backdrop. The game is set on Rhand, a tourism planet that has recently been attacked by the Spectrals. That attack involved the uses of a virus that changed the behavior of the inhabitants, but before they could complete their conquest, the alien ship crashed. Now they, and everyone else on the planet, is stranded and competing for resources. That’s a pretty interesting frame! The players take the roles of centuries old super soldiers who were awakened, King Arthur-like, from cryosleep. They must use their power armor — the titular living steel — to defeat the invaders and destroy the oppressive empire (assuming a way off Rhand can be found).

It’s a good story frame that scales nicely — the backdrop is big and epic, but the concerns are immediate: survive, scrounge, survive some more. It’s a shame it is hampered by such an intense combat system (and, like, that is all the system really is). Aside of a skirmish game, I don’t believe Living Steel saw much more support. Bummer.

Pretty excellent art throughout the book by Toni Dennis, Nadir Elfarra, Dennis Francis and Steve Huston. The Spectral climbing over the wall is definitely burned in my brain, but that level of quality is kept up throughout.

*Miranda was stuck in the infirmary, alone at this point of time after kat ellis and cecil had left. she was the only one is the infirmary that night. she had a small little flash light and was reading a book, trying to stay awake. Her body and mind were incredibly weak as compared to normal, which wasnt much anyways. She finally had a moment of peace*

*Suddenly she began hearing a weird rustling. All of a sudden her blanket was pulled of and the noises became louder. The light of the maps around started flickering. the wind started a swirling until a purple light appears*

What the fuck are you doing here-

Open Starter!

Cass was frantic. You approach her, seeing her snapping her fingers near her head, tears running down her face, trying to make as much noise as possible, to try and hear something again, but her hearing was just...gone. Her back is turned towards you, meaning she can't see or hear you approach, and she's mumbling to herself.

What do you do?
