Out of curiosity do you think that Golarion's Caliban and hagspawn from 3.5 ed could coexist in the same setting or would they prove to be redundant?
Yes! I wrote the caliban, so I should know. At least, I mostly wrote the caliban. It was an RPG Superstar entry I wrote, and then a lot of the content from that year ended up in Tears at Bitter Manor. The gorget of living whispers was mine too, and they ended up giving it to the final boss!
My original flavor text had nothing to do with hags. I wanted the calibans to be the children of parents who were "blessed"
by Lamashtu. The inspiration was various hybrid cryptids from the mid-to-late 20th century, like the Lake Worth Monster, Honey Island Swamp Monster and the Goatman (hence the axe). In the original stat block, the caliban's share deformity ability could also affect mental ability scores (so you could have a scholarly caliban parasitizing his intellectual rivals, or one who wants to be beautiful stealing abilities from pretty faces). The third flavor change that Paizo made was making them all male; again, as a way of making them relate more to hags than Lamashtu.
The art is perfect, though. No notes.
For a "mutant child created by hags", I would use my invunche statistics or 3.5 hagspawn, and use calibans for more general monstrous mutants.
When I first heard cardigan, I thought the lyrics were “just two girls, lose the one” and I imagined two babes ditching their boyfriends, being everything for each other, and living my dream in a cottage by the lake
extremely self indulgent considering tma and kh are like my biggest special interests but who gaf
this was technically my friends idea cuz like a year ago he made a joke that they could do a 159 scene in kh4 and one night i woke up in a cold sweat actually thinking about it
watching a video of someone playing an older game (not even THAT old) and constantly having to hear them go 'omg can you imagine how much more pretty and good this would be if it ran at 60+ fps with highest end graphics of the current modern games and in 4k???' over and over while also commenting on some graphics looking slightly muddy and how ugly and shitty 30 fps is
and i just cant help but get incredibly annoyed at that, cant you just appreciate the game for what it is?? the constant focus on smoother everything and graphics so detailed it looks faker than the real world is such a limited view on games- more polygons and higher res textures doesnt equal better ffs
i, and i might out myself with an unpoluar opinion here, but remakes are in my opinion often rather unecessary, just rerelease the old game, just make it avaible for people, officially, you dont have to reprogramm the entire thing!! maybe upscale it a little so it doesnt get stretched into a blurry mess if possible but even that i will work with no problem!! there are cases where its pretty much an entirely different game (FF7?) and i get seeing one of your fav old games get some new paint can be really cool, not arguing against that-
what i dont like is that those remakes replace the original as that isnt made avaible, only the new version- like i wish i could play windwaker on my switch, but i cant stand the "HD" remake of it and i know if it ever were to get ported it will only be that version like the original doesnt exist anymore
and my earlier point that many people consider more fps, more polygons, more resolution as automatically better
i dont need games to be running at 60+ fps, 30 is enough, sure id like it to run smoothly on that without huge drops, but when its stable 30, why would i need more? more often than not i prefer simplified graphics bc they often focus on the most important parts of what they are trying to achieve or work with an interesting style to compensate and i LOVE THAT, also id like to not have to download 100+ GB even when i would turn it on its lowest settings anyway, save me the space- and that is if i even got hardware that can run it at all, my computer struggles with slime rancher and i dont have the funds to buy the newest consoles nor computers
im not against remakes per se, but the fact that the old will more often than not disappear entirely and remain unavaible forever and that higher end graphics are automatically seen as better drives me nuts
Hello everyone! I hope the holidays have been fun and that all of you are looking forward for the new year!
I for one have been fighting for my life with this little animation/animatic for the Cryptid Sightings au. I’m still not quite satisfied with it, but at some point you gotta say “enough is enough” especially when you’re working with windows old MovieMaker as your editing program because you’re an old cheapskate who refuses to buy a proper animation program
But anyway! Naff I really freaking love this au and I can’t wait to see more of it! I thought this classic vine would fit the au, so I hope you like it ;D
As always; Cryptid Sightings is an au and story written by lovely @naffeclipse which you can read here! Moon’s design is just his normal look and Y/N’s design is a bit of a twist from my side ‘cause I’m quirky like that ;P
