  • Kinda reminds me of a few Sci-Fi settings- Altered Carbon has people that enjoy murdering people, and since people can swap bodies freely that sort of thing is easily done. There’s an explicit difference between ‘sleeve death’ and ‘real death’, even legally. Killing someone’s sleeve- or body- is a crime, but it’s not murder anymore. If you actually destroy the lil chip that actually contains the person, that’s ‘real death’. Man I love that show. S1, at least.

    Alternatively, Cyberpunk with it’s braindances could cater to an extremely similar audience.


  • I love Edith Finch. It’s firmly my favorite among the walking simulator genre.

    It’s very much a story first and the only reason it’s a game and not a movie is because the perspective allows you to be a bit more immersed.

    If you want an example of a walking simulator done properly badly, give The Suicide Of Rachel Foster a go. It’s got an interesting idea, and it has zero clue what to do with it.

    The only part of it that I think is really out of place and would make me unhappy is that it’s the first counterspell he used.

    If that’s been a pattern and it’s a higher lethality game in general, then all’s fair. But springing a counterspell on them at the last moment might make me a bit… bitter.


  • Basically just a list of topics the DM and the players might be uncomfortable with or just not tolerate.

    A lot of people use ‘lines and veils’ where a line is a hard no and a veil is fine as long as it’s happening offscreen.

    As an example, as the DM I would have sexual assault down as a line. I just don’t want it in my games. A veil would be something where it can happen and be referenced but not occur in front of us or be overly dwelled on. I’d have sex in general as a veil as well as things like torture. I’m just not comfortable enough with those topics to roleplay them actively.




  • Fabricate would work fantastically, and I think you’re underestimating the amount of money you can make with some craftsman stuff.

    People will pay a lot for well done custom made stuff. Knives, swords, furniture… all of it is worth a sizable amount once you have any kind of reputation and start taking commissions. I mean thousand dollar chandeliers and multiple thousand dollar tables.
