I wrote a free post about what NOVA 2 might be.

I've got two options in mind, and I'd love to know what you think.

All these new game ideas need to chill out.

I'm playing Marathon all night tonight until my eyes bleed, and I don't plan on writing any of them down until tomorrow.

Hunt monsters in a cursed city.

Slayers is an action packed TTRPG where every class has their own unique mechanics!
