Forum Games & Nonsense

This week, DerVVulfman strayed from humorous tales of Dungeons and Dragons adventures gone awry, for TALK ABOUT BLOWN UP IN MY FACE this week is a tale from Mage: The Awakening. Set in a modern world with magic, the teller of this tale displayed a good reason why their game master should think battle encounters through.

Development Discussion

This week, a couple of our members have been busy if you've been following What's up with them. Kyonides worked upon a menu for one system, then began working on an audio systems options menu, then was looking for some inspiration for another work to create. And a bit of back and forth was issued between he and DerVVulfman on another potential work. After that, Remi-chan returned after getting a new PC, and she did not waste time as she released two remastered cutscenes from her game, and showed off her new VTuber avatar and a short piece on the relational dynamics of two of her universe's femme fatales.
