@Ratio_Tile Yeah, we do have hunters around here

@onehundredninetysix Video ends where it does because, while the deer on the right did look cautiously curious to me, I was worried that I might be reading her body language wrong. I don’t want to be the first person to die by being mauled by a deer.

@CobblerScholar Between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back

@CobblerScholar General vibes, really. Heroic arthurian knights, mythic quests for noble heros, restoring a rightful heir to the throne who magically has both fantastic administration skills and a good moral compass.The main plotline is an interpretation of the Merovingian Dynasty conspiracy, just to give you an idea of what's going on. (According to some crackpots, the Priory of Sion is a secret organization to install leaders into world govs who are literally descended from Jesus Christ.)

@11111one11111 I mean, there's a reason I didnt lead with that lmao. I know it's demented but I don't think it's completely insane. I mean, George Lucas had a similar experience that gave him the idea of starting the Original Trilogy at Episode 4

@jewbacca117 Long story. When I was a kid, I found a cool semi-epistolary 8-book series at my school library about a modern-day kid named Pendragon hopping through a portal to save alternate timelines. It was so cool to me that the series jumped around in time so we had to figure out when we were in Pendragon's timeline. Turns out my school shelved them in alphabetical order, and they also lacked the first and last books. I had a blast & I've been trying to recreate that experience ever since.

@jewbacca117 Can't argue with that. But usually when I'm interested in a series I watch the episodes of each season in a random order, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to accidentally start with the shit parts.

@Geodad Happy birthday Perseus! I can't see the pic from Mastodon. Hopefully they fix that someday.

@tokensane @rpg In my setting magic is superscience left over from the first age. Could be nanites in everything, could be something weirder. The players casting spells is similar to if your dog figured out how to say "Alexa, all lights on" and realized saying those magic words created light.Also, the aliens are going to be demons, sort of, being the children of the Fear of the Other and the Fear of the Incomprehensible. Not that the aliens or PCs would know this. So magic will work fine.

@Legit_Spaghetti @rpg You actually gave me a different great idea. In my setting, we have all the normal fantasy stuff, but the elves are robots who often modify their bodies to do stuff like have plasma cannons hidden in their arms or directly interface with the GPS satellites. I think something like the Borg would be a great way to handle half-elves.
