WotC and Pinkertons.

This is one of those questions you ask, and let sit for months. Long enough that most of the table has started to forget you ever asked.

Was there a reason? Like, I’ll even take some Mystery of the Druids “kill a homeless man to steal his change” logic in this.

Ain’t nothin’ in the RAW that states a sentient pile of dust can’t play basketball.

No one else built a Walking Eye.

Look around. Who else has a Walking Eye? That’s right, Walking Eye, everyone wants a piece.

And this is how “Scroll of Instant Kaiju” began.

When “God will recognize his own” is an expectation.

Shit, they ported that one even further on, too. Looks like the PC port was treated decently, it’s got higher review scores than I remember the first release ever getting.

If you drop the first, I’d honestly say try 2, it was a step up, and after that, anything up until the Wii U one(Maiden of the Black Water) is pretty solid.

Just be aware that after 2 until that Wii U one, it’s all Japanese vocals, afaik. The series stopped getting translated for awhile.

EDIT: Both at work and stoned, forget the title, remembered it, fixed. It’s the fifth game.

Which one you looking to try?

If you’re starting from the beginning, it’s clunky. The controls, the pacing, the acting. It’s all very dated feeling by today’s standards, but the story is genuinely worth playing, and the scares are still damn good.

I’ve done Silent Hill inspired games, but never Fatal Frame. That could be really interesting, especially if there’s only one Camera Obscura in play.

You getting hurt took me away from proactively healing you by killing whatever it was that managed to hit you.

And you better not backsass me. Triage system.

They make a variety of solo RPGs, these days.

Shit talk your players while playing your own damn game, with blackjack and hookers.

I’d swap one of those out for 'Cryptic Message from Future Self". I also really happen to like fucking with my players at times, though.

They need to think more creatively. You’re now focused on countering the enemy caster, and the party might be more distracted helping you to clear out the threat.

This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of, and put some nice pressure down.

Repeated blunt force trauma, but carefully, to pulverize the bones for easier digestion.

You don’t wanna break the casing, then all the good stuff comes out.

Y’know, I’ve never wondered how to play out Chew at a table, but if it ever happens, you just gave me the answer.

Oh, that would actually be a fun concept. A form of psychic link, that causes vivid hallucinations of what the “speaker” is projecting.

That could be used in some fucked ways.

“No, I’m annoyed. But the guy eating my arm? He’s pissed. Meet the Flaming Asshole of Azzazoth.”

Yeah, that’d be fair, and it’s how I normally treat using the shaft of a pole weapon as staff.

Unless it’s a Monk. Damn them, and their versatility!
