I've been playing RPGs for like 20 years, I don't know why I never thought to keep some kind of record of my experiences before (probably because journaling doesn't come naturally to me)

We're nearing the end of my friend's campaign, and we tipped over one of the main antagonists. I'm playing Leutitia Caywood VIII, a veteran Union pilot with a dope eye patch. She's had a rocky relationship with Prince Cassian, a leader in exile of the planet Scylla, only recently returned.

That antagonist I mentioned is Vasily Vachonovitch, Harrison Armory Scion who married Cass's brother only to stab him on the altar and signal an invasion. In defeat, he kneeled in front of Cassian and offered his mech's sword.

Cassian moved to kill him, to punish him for the devastation he was a part of; Leutitia and Theo (USB deep cover agent) held him back. It was a moment that felt right for Leutitia, and turning it over in my mind has given me a deeper understanding for it.

Practically, arresting Vasily allows him to testify against his father, the mastermind, as well as those who added and abetted their invasion of Scylla. And that's most of Leu's perspective on the matter- Scylla is just one place, the fight goes on, and the justice of a battlefield execution is always lesser than rooting out the bigger problem, helping to prevent this happening again. (There is some naivete there, faith in Vasily having anything helpful to say, Union acting on it. Certainly in Union's case, it's something she wants to, MUST believe in.)

But the really harsh part of it is that as soon as Cassian acted in a way that Leutitia found unacceptable, she reached out to stop him. Further, she did so without really talking to him about it. "If you're not acting in a way I want, I am bypassing you. I, we, will do what is right, and you'll do what we allow." It's a very cold way to act to someone she's been fighting alongside.

Cassian said, before he was stopped, that he would kill every last member of Vasily's family. Leutitia has no patience for that kind of bloodlust, and we'll see if the rift between them can be healed, especially considering the imminence of the final battle.

See something...oh, old photo on ground. Hear from old crows about these. Used to be very popular with humans. Nowadays mostly keep photos on phones. But sometimes see humans with funny cameras that spit out photos.

Human in picture looks...familiar...

On today's episode of I Work In A Comic Shop:

So on Sundays, I run D&D games for kids (ages ranging about 6-16). It's fun, we goof around a lot and I let them get away with most things in-game as long as they can semi-reasonably justify how it'd happen.

And something I do often, when the kids start looking for every single detail about NPC #4534 because they've decided he's Very Very Important™️, is to just stick in a reference to some random movie. (For example: "This townsperson's name is Billiam S. Preston Esquire, and his buddy Teddy Bear Logan is missing! If he doesn't return soon, then Wyld Stallyns will lose their concert gig at the local tavern!") If the kids get it, it's a fun easter egg, and if they don't, then at least I didn't have to come up with a fantasy name on the spot.

My latest adventure involved a battle with a gang of skeletons, after which their scattered bones start wriggling towards the source of the dark magic that animated them in the first place.

And I'm struck with what I consider to be a bit of brilliance.

So, we're playing, and we reach the end of the battle. I explain that the bones are all moving eastwards, and then I add:

"You're reminded of the legend of old, of the great adventurer Hiro and his mighty companion Baymax, who tracked a pack of magical nanobots to their evil master using a single hostage bot."

Now the table erupts in laughter, and I'm feeling pretty good. But then we realize that the youngest of our party (an 8-year-old) looks confused at what's so funny. He doesn't get the reference.

I'm naturally surprised - this is a well-known Disney movie, I figure pretty much all the kids know it. But apparently he hasn't seen it. And so I quickly google the release date of Big Hero Six.

It is 2014. Nine years ago. In other words, the movie is older than this kid. And I am immediately hit by the passage of time like a truck.

RPG Diary 1-1-24 (Happy New Year)

Penultimate session of my friend's Lancer game. We fought a gigantic minotaur inside of a meta vault, and reached through a portal to snatch the perfidious HA creep who's been behind all the trouble.

We have one more session to go, but this puts me in a pickle because I feel more or less done with the character. Despite the complexities of her origin, her drives are simple- keep fighting the good fight for DoJ/HR, wherever that may lead. She's not Horus, being this close to the power of Ra can only be an existential threat.

Or perhaps lack of threat is the issue; it's hard to feel awe in these types of situation, in part because of the abstract nature of the environment, and in part because my character is shielded from that environment by her mech, the doughty Saladin frame "The Chain." There's layers here- Lieutitia pilots the mech, I pilot Lieutitia. The majesty of the metavault is obscured by two windshields.

I've made a few characters like Lieutitia before- people with strong viewpoints on the world, firm beliefs that aren't easy to shift. These beliefs often apply to what we Ought And Ought Not Trifle With, and this kind of paracausal NHP fuckery is definitely in the latter camp. The thing is that I want those positions to be CHALLENGED, and they usually aren't.

Maybe something will occur to me, but for now it feels like next session will be Lieutitia zooming into the frontier without looking in the rearview. This was all a nutty adventure, on to the next one. We'll see if Prince Cassian (who tried to kill ANOTHER valuable prisoner!!! This fucking guy) gets up to anything mischievous during our last little bit.

SPOILERS FOR NO ROOM FOR A WALLFLOWER LATE SPRING/EARLY SUNMER

So yesterday we finally had another Lancer session. For some reason Guardian was once again absent, but the rest of the party was able to make it for downtime 2.

Dustmite, Butcher, and Mudskipper decided to start the morning after the attack on evergreen by figuring out the deal with the captured pilot from the assault. They learn that he is a Hercynian Ranger named Arro Ordo(i gave Dthall a brother) and he explains that he was a member of a contingent of Rangers that had broken away from the main force, and they were tired of the seeming inaction that Dthall was showing towards Evergreen, but now he realizes his mistake and that Evergreen is not with the machine or Union as he also refers to it. The party doesn't ask much more beyond that, but Mudskipper begins getting a headache (for reference, he's an empath and he took cynosure) so he decides he needs to go lie down, only for Butcher to decide that he wants to figure out what cynosure is and look into his mech.

Mudskipper is knocked out by a strange force, rendering him unconscious, and while Butcher and the rest of the party try to figure out whats going on he begins having a nightmare (the group is trying to cure Cynosure, so I thought it would be fun to scare them). After a bit of digging through the code and some old seccom research documents into Paracausaul systems, they are eventually able to piece together what is going on.

<AREYOULOST?><3002-ITWASYOU>

After curing him of Cynosure, a few days pass and Mudskipper is starting to feel a bit better, however he is concerned for his mech, which while it doesn't have an NHP, shows some signs of sentience. (As the GM, i let everyone in the group kinda flavor their backstory however they want, and Mudskipper is an amnesiac union operative who was sealed in a metavault for 500 years. I have aome pretty grand plans for him, so I will reveal them later >:) )

Mudskipper and his mech, the Kappa, a horus hydra pattern group, have a conversation where he apologizes for installing the software, before kappa makes mention of the strange signal it is beginning to hear.

\\from across the sea, a prophet speaks of a great flood, and of bodies rising from the water

Concerned, he immediately tries to tell the party, but everyone just assumes its a residual effect of Cynosure.

A few more days pass while the party decides to follow up on a rumor they heard about an old buried weapons cache a day or two's travel north of evergreen, but while they are gone they want to make sure the town is safe, and so they begin construction on defences around the perimeter. Its about this time that Shadow Dragon gets a call from his horrible parents, and Cavalier also gets a call from his brother. Apparently Cavalier's brother Mauler will be arriving in the system soon, and wants to meet to catch up, while Shadow Dragon's parents are only calling to make sure the situation around evergreen is being stabilized, but they threaten to take away his licenses if they are unable to remedy the issues down there.

After a few days of prepping, a worried patience meets them at the gate before they leave. Thanks to the new emplacements he hopes they will be safe, but wants permission to use the players mechs while they are gone for defence. The players allow him to do so, and they begin heading off...

Okay, thats not the end of the session, I'll be back to finish this once Im done in the shower. I have to get ready for my job, unfortunately.

Land to rest at fork in road before crossroad. Not far from high street now. *beep beep* "Huehuehue!" Odd sound. Look around, jackdaw friend and I see parakeet in tree! Bit outside usual territory, parakeets usually stay in parks. Parakeet pecking at large rectangle. See humans play with lots of times. Smart-phone they call it. If so smart, maybe can help us find tiny human? Ask Parakeet if will lend smartphone? Him laugh, "Huehuehue!" Hops off smartphone, beckons to use. Peck. Peck. Pe- MUSIC! Parakeet and jackdaw friend startled, fly to next branch. Almost join them. Feel strangely bold now.

SHH. Going to tell you a secret: I made a video game and then didn't tell anyone. Well, more of a demo/proof-of-concept (complete with bugs and collision issues!).

Down The Eye Of The Tiger is a dream diary-genre game made in Rpgmaker MV over the course of roughly 2 months and some change as part of Dream Diary Jams 6 & 7. My plan is to keep working on it sporadically whenever I feel like doing pixel art (read: often enough and with excruciating intensity) until it's done.

Hopefully my next update will have more of the "narrative" implemented; in this release I was just trying to make sure that everything I had put in-engine was technically accessible to players.

If anyone's interested in seeing alerts on development, I'll be posting future updates/commentary type stuff over at @downtheeyeofthetiger.

Are you in the market for a wizarding school game where you can create your own character, go to classes, learn spells, join clubs, explore dungeons, flirt with demons and fairies, serve detention with a cranky professor, and find a romantic date for the May Day ball - if you don’t lose your soul first?

Check out the Magical Diary series!

(There are two games so far, Horse Hall with a female protagonist and Wolf Hall with a male one. You don’t have to play both, but if you want to play both, do Horse Hall first as Wolf Hall will spoil a few of its plot twists. Both games allow you to date either male or female characters; this is pretty much an EveryoneIsBi setting.)

DRM-Free on Itch.io

Also available On Steam
