Imo you just need to DM a game (doesn't really matter what ruleset) beginning to end and see how ya make it work! I agree that trust (that the players trust that the DM is effectively curating their experience) is key. It's a mix of confidence and flexibility.

thank you both so much! is that to [email protected]?

omg if you have a chance and were able to take some quick photos of the time story i would be forever grateful! i really want to try and redraw it, lol.

ah yeah! i gave away my boomerang to get upgraded but then didn't get it back until after the final fight, haha. i like the red coral drill rockets and i quite got into the flea juice for bosses. i think my fave weapons were the ones with dive kicks, the default one and the architect one.

yeah idk even why i struggled with the high halls fight as much as i did, there's just a few combos of enemies there that really fried my brain haha. karmelita's the hardest of the 3 act 3 bosses for sure. did you have a particular set of crests/weapons you gravitated towards??

this is how they all feel in my memory, entirely possible if i compared death numbers that wouldn't actually be borne out but i've tried to apply this logic

loved lost lace! great duelly Vergil vibes and the setting was so cool. part of me was disappointed a lot of her attacks are reused through Act 3 but another part of me felt cool that i'd kind of already learned to deal with them. i might try and do a boss tier list for difficulty...

love this guy!!!!!!!

I *think* I just understand this one but this is almost textbook vagueposting

Also has that fun thing of being like a perfect example of 90s manga drawing sensibilities, everyone's very pointy and the characters all have huge feet like FF7 field models. Plus the most powerful character is a cool clown who rides a cat monster

maybe i'll do some live commissions or something weird, too. idk. come to my table and we will discuss

Lolll, all I know about this game is that it maybe does the Nier thing where you have to play it multiple times to get different endings. So look forward to that I guess!!!

I'll be sellin' these new stickers too which I think look real nice

me: aw man yeah I had a bit of a cold earlier this week, plus I woke up at 6 today, so this half hour of light keiko will be tough

them: when I was at uni i had to get up 4am, two hours of aggressive kirikaeshi/kakarigeiko with no break, and if you ever stop your senpai literally murders you
