BB: You've been gone for a while. Yes, getting a cold in the world's current state will do that to a person. https://i.imgur.com/RPlzcff.png The scientist and the angel scheming about something. https://i.imgur.com/rjTMNut.png And of course, Vaneti, Orion, and co are here to mount a rescue. BB: Thi...

After a slightly less long stretch of time, but only sliiiiiiiightly long, we'd like to release our playtest of RPGStuck 3rd Edition!

-looks at date- We picked a bad day for this, didn't we? ....or did we.

https://i.imgur.com/qxhets3.png BB: Looks like something from real life. Barbershop. It's not actually clear where this is, in hindsight. Might be Justine's mind, or some third party place. Cause it definitely ain't the angel's mind. https://i.imgur.com/78bThMI.png Don't ask me how much time I spen...

After a long, and I mean, lengthy stretch without much info, we recently dropped a mechanics post! On our Fifth Anniversary, no less! We've revamped our Pillars and Paths system, created a Gambit system to handle non-combat encounters and other shenanigans, and created Decors (you may remember this ...

https://i.imgur.com/1XIyzTs.png Meanwhile, in a gulag. BB: In Ukraine? Well there's no guarantee it's still in the Ukraine. BB: But you wrote it, are they there or not? It's irrelevant. All that matters is that there's a prison, she's in there, and so is an angel. There's not as much relevance for ...

https://i.imgur.com/OQ8d1Qk.png BB: So. How's the draft comin' along? Delayed. Hijacking a battleship's harder than it seems. Need to read up sci-fi sometime. Anyway, on with this. So they get hired to kill someone. BB: Mm hmm. https://i.imgur.com/VDadMd8.png https://i.imgur.com/VNiNyrI.png https:/...

BB: Welcome back to the land of the metatextually livin'. How have you been? BB: Had dinner with Pilgrim. It was alright. Did you two— BB: Yes, and that's all that needs to be said. BB: The draft still goin'? 10k words and counting. BB: Care to share? Hell no. If my prior performance is any indicat...

https://i.imgur.com/ApjJ5JE.png BB: Anyone alive? Been a bit busy as of late. BB: How's the writing? The apex of cybermancy, and the carapacians use black powder guns. BB: That means nothing to me or anyone else without context. BB: You can't just namedrop technobabble and expect it to impress anyo...

https://i.imgur.com/Gcll7Fn.png They keep fighting, https://i.imgur.com/mE3kAln.png And as you can see, I am the greatest at fight scenes. https://i.imgur.com/y92SH9J.png Ever. Not a one. Eat your heart out, someone whose name I can't be arsed to look up for 30 seconds just to make the joke work. B...

https://i.imgur.com/e5QMjMZ.png And then they run. I think. BB: Alright spit it out I know you have something on your mind. https://i.imgur.com/KVJ8g7r.png If I'm reconstructing the events properly here, they decide to cut the power to the caverns, which will kill all the grubs in the process, but ...

Recently picked up Gideon the Ninth, which piqued my interest because the author used to be a fanfic writer, way back then. Like, 2012, when LiveJournal was a more common medium for fics than Ao3 is now. Well the review on the front describes it as "Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic pala...

https://i.imgur.com/VhhH77K.png Some of the highest quality armor in the world and they couldn't get her a helmet. BB: I literally dodge everything by virtue of endless save-load abused practice. BB: Besides, everyone knows helmets are useless. https://i.imgur.com/Qm158rk.png I really don't think I...

https://i.imgur.com/nxdCsPD.png My recollection's dim. So Allison shows up to take control of Justine. BB: Obviously. Why else would they have let her leave? BB: Does Orion know? https://i.imgur.com/LCcTcDN.png I don't remember, but he's busy gunning down people. Mundane use of biokinesis, being st...

https://i.imgur.com/iZSO2XW.png And then they end up in the caverns. BB: Doesn't the Friendsims have an updated version? This was made back in 2013 or so, we didn't have that then. We still had Homestuck. The glory days. https://i.imgur.com/MsD3NiO.png Oh, and there's a flashback to this for some i...

BB: But enough about me, back to Justine. https://i.imgur.com/Uca462p.png Anyway, she heals. https://i.imgur.com/lPY9QPt.png Then she does a ritual to find out what they're facing for their plan to raid an ancient crypt located near the brooding caverns. https://i.imgur.com/TBMUp1z.png The Aquanaut...

https://i.imgur.com/xAI5Mod.png And here the siblings finally meet. Orion Kimberly, the biokinetic pirate with something to prove. BB: To the man? He doesn't know either. https://i.imgur.com/qn99Y16.png There's Isabella, currently masquerading as Fred. I'm realizing she was supposed to be a mirror ...

https://i.imgur.com/NMmiLsE.png https://i.imgur.com/imqWA4m.png https://i.imgur.com/3CMQ3v8.png And when she wakes up, everything is gone. BB: You feel rushed. It's dragging on. There's a lot to cover. https://i.imgur.com/qg0vsyO.png There's a random flas— you know what no, let's remove that and mo...

https://i.imgur.com/BfPwI4p.png https://i.imgur.com/LjjwEJr.png https://i.imgur.com/vFC4xXz.png Lumari and Robert were cops, after all. And being troll cops, they'd be more brutal than normal human cops. BB: Wouldn't know. Guild officer. I think. BB: Fighter, not cop. Or soldier, for that matter. W...

https://i.imgur.com/0fihAbn.png https://i.imgur.com/n2I5NmW.png Of course, this is a trap. BB: Too early. You don't know that. You're stereotyping yourself before you've even had a shot. https://i.imgur.com/1jZfhPn.png ....the next one is actually maybe a bit gory, so we're going to skip that one. ...

https://i.imgur.com/CiXDuVG.png https://i.imgur.com/he9HmFF.png Needless to say, the purpleblood one-shots the drone. BB: Uh huh. https://i.imgur.com/rlJlJyG.png I don't remember why this was here, though. BB: Handing something back? Why something back? BB: Don't know. https://i.imgur.com/Xi816cs.p...
