I really gotta get on this one

In-game view of File City from Digimon World 1

It’s 2001, the game mechanics are impenetrable, the vibes are immaculate.

I don’t think there’s anywhere in games as nostalgic as this for me, and i think the fact I was never able to beat this game as a kid only intesified the feeling of mystery.

I promise it's the last time I'm re-sharing this, but it *is* pokemon day, I get a free pass, probably

Image depicting the three starter Pokémon from Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves. On the left there's Pombon, a fire-type that looks like a fluffy pomeranian. On the top-right corner there's Browt, a grass-type chick with big eyebrows made out off leaves. And on the bottom-right there's Gecqua, the water-type starter that's inspired by a gecko and has its signature chonky tail.

The new starters are all so cute omg, i just had to doodle them as fast as i could TTwTT

BREAK!! x Animon Story was so much fun and I am very much hoping to do more crossovers in the future!

I have been getting a running commentary from my brother about how fucking awful this new booktok fantasy darling is and honestly I think it’s the ideal way to engage.

What do you mean there are paragraphs spent on describing inventory management? Actually no, don’t explain it more. I know enough.

The wastelands are littered with the wrecks of planes, trains and automobiles. Punks use jury-rigged, battered vehicles to get around, patched together from all kinds of machines.

Compatible with Mark of the Odd games

There are definitely a few moments through the game where it feels like one writer set things up, then another just wasn't interested (Moenbryda for example).

It's unfortunate that this Nanamo section feels like such a shut-down for future exploration, and a really sad end for her development 🥲

Sorry lol, I rewatched this part of the story recently and it made me just as mad as I was the first time round 😅

"Actually Nanamo is just a silly little girl and the monetarists were right all along. Aiding refugees is bad actually, unless the wealthy can profit from it. Looks like Nanamo learned her lesson and grew up!"

SB has some rancid politics but everyone was too busy going "Lyse bad" to notice I guess.

FFXIV Stormblood SPOILERS/RANT

The Nanamo plotline in 4.1 is so atrocious and it drives me crazy that no one talks about how bad it is - especially because it is "wrapping up" the plotline that started with the Bloody Banquet - a moment everyone loves! I've been mad about it for like 3 years man.

Hey, if you end up taking more direct control of the project and are looking for game designers to get involved, feel free to get in touch.

I think my history creating Animon Story - a TTRPG about kids & their monster friends - would give me some pretty relevant experience!

That’s very kind thank you!

The cover of the Ghost in the Shell RPG, an illustration of the Major in a bodysuit, plugged into a machine.

Finally announced! I co-designed and co-wrote The Ghost in the Shell Roleplaying Game alongside Alessio Cavatore.

It was a real pleasure to write and design for such a beloved world and story. I loved delving deep into the complex characters who occupy this dark world. GitS fans are in for a treat!

I have no relation to the Arise game. This RPG from Mantic is based on the official license for Shirow Masamune’s original work - that’s all I know really.

I don't have anything to do with the licensing myself - but I did really enjoy getting to soak in all the wonderful manga art, and I found the author's notes great too 😁

It's been a wild ride!
