Tangentially related to some of the discussion i posted earlier but quiet literally the first RW Art Month i participated I did it completely on whim like, one day before it started. And I mostly did it because I hadn't drawn a ton of rain world and wanted to draw more. Fandom presence was a lot smaller than and I was one of a handful of artists who did the entire thing. Fast forward and I still do Art Month and I've gotten to work with VC directly. But it was quite literally something I decided to do completely on whim that set the ball rolling, and for something a lil more niche and certainly with a lot more dev/fandom art involvement than most. It's really random how and why you might get noticed more than usual, especially with the "toss it into the search and hope it pays out' mechanism of Socmed

#t.extpost #and im hardly the fanciest art month artist out there so it wasnt even about being a jaw droppingly talented artist or whatever #and while artmonth for rw is still given a huge focus its also a much much bigger thing now with a much bigger number of participants #which is cool! its awesome how many people i saw do most if not all of last art month! and VC is really good about not just repping the #most popular artists or fanciest pieces #but theres So Much More there now and while its great for finding artists its also impossible to get Everyone in there you know? #Although they absolutely try #And this is like. one of the most fanartist involved devs ive ever seen in terms of both celebrating the art their fans make and actively #bringing those fans in to contribute #and its /still/ hard to get going just because thats how Posting is #i used to be more of a hk artist which is both a huge fandom and riddled with stunning artists but theres So Many #and niche fandoms are niche so youre more likely to connect with people but less likely to see a ton of engagement regularly - #probably best example i have for that was being briefly fixated on patapon. #Its just messy to try and find the hack that sets you up #just have fun and jump around and make what you like #get a sense of feeling for your style and some people will stick around for that vs. strictly the subject matter #others will look up the thing you switched too and some wont engage #you cant really control it #so have fun and draw that thing you randomly thought about at 2 am that doesnt match your blog #draw for that forgotten rpg you liked when you were 15 or draw for the 70 player max steam game you played for this week #you never really know what will happen #but its not really worth worrying about what will happen either

You know, considering that new untitled Peach game is a bit like Luigi’s Mansion with how it puts a Mario character in a new environment with new game mechanics, I’m kinda hoping Peach gets her own original villain the same way Luigi was given King Boo.

Hell, with Super Mario RPG coming back, which has many original characters, and with the characters from the Peach teaser being something other than Toads, it seems Nintendo might be willing to dip their toes into original characters again. So what’s better to start making new characters than by giving Peach her own bad guy ! Also the new Mario Bros game has some new characters as well from the looks of it, so again, it’s possible !

And don’t get me wrong, Bowser is absolutely iconic and I do enjoy the irony of Peach battling against him. But with this game not being a platformer, and again taking into consideration Luigi’s Mansion, it would be a fun change of pace for Peach to have a new villain in her own series (god I hope this game becomes a series of several games!!!). Plus, it seems Peach will be more and more playable in mainline games, meaning more Bowser beat-up from her anyways.

And yes, part of me wants that new villain to be a female character as it's been forever since Mario games has had one and I am very much aware of how people would go crazy over it for the shipping.

(Also going back to Bowser, it’s more of a “me” thing but I always found it slightly weird to see Bowser attack Peach, since he’s supposed to be in love with her (Paper Mario games prove it well) and in all the games she gets captured, there are no indications he ever raises a hand on her. Hell in Odyssey he’s very gentle when putting Tiara on Peach’s head. Also Peach is never particularly afraid of him despite how horrible he can be, which implies he doesn’t physically hurt her.

Fun fact : this is why I headcanon Super Princess Peach as taking place very soon after Super Paper Mario, since the two of them would have just spent weeks working together and getting along. So it would work for Bowser to lose his shit upon getting rejected yet again “despite doing everything right” and thus be willing to fight her. As for 3d World, there’s three other people Bowser can focus on to avoid hurting her)

#Super Mario #Princess Peach #Untitled Princess Peach game #Flor talks #you know; about the possibility of Peach not getting captured anymore in future games; I don't know how to feel about it #and funnily enough; it has nothing to do with Peach herself but instead with Bowser #the gist of it is that Bowser is a shitty person with a pretty big soft side #and outside of being a dad; the other thing showing that soft side is his love for Peach; granted the mainline games barely ever show it #but the RPGs do; and as messed up as it is; it's also kinda cute ! #and basically if Bowser stops kidnapping Peach; not only does it show less that he likes her in a sense as it reduces how obsessed he is #but most importantly it means Bowser will need new reasons to be a villain; reasons that might turn him into an irredeemable piece of shit #and that's what I'm afraid of; I like Bowser as that absolute douche with a soft spot who's willing to work with Mario if needed #I think the best way Nintendo could go about this would be to find a balance to the kidnappings #have all the big Mario 3d games be about Bowser kidnapping Peach along with a few of the mainline games #meanwhile have the other half of the mainline games feature Peach as playable + give her her own game series #(I mean reminder that in the 5 main 3d games; Luigi is only playable in the Galaxy ones #and for the first one takes finishing the game to unlock; so having Peach sometimes be the hero sometimes the damsel could work) #(the main issue with her being the damsel is that we never get to play as her; causing her to be seen as a bland character by many #but if we do play as her sometimes + she gets her own games; her being the damsel will be less of an issue) #(another way to fix the issue could also to go the early Paper Mario route and have her actually do things while captured)

Guess who almost started screaming out loud upon hearing about the Super Mario RPG Remake, and almost screamed even more while watching the trailer.

Super Mario RPG taught me to value the characters you get early in the game, as they often turn out to be your best fighters and/or healers.

#fanart #quick doodles #Super Mario RPG #SNES #Super Mario RPG Remake #Geno #Mallow #Mallow really was the best mage character in the game if I remember correctly #and Geno was good for keeping the damage coming #Gosh has it really been THAT long since I last played it??? #One of my favorite RPGs #Been freaking out about it ever since watching the trailer #I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

[volfoss]

Does Volfoss have a secret fan translation i can't find? I'm coping here

it does not BUT i did go through and write every story section (as line by line as I could) for every single route in my guide :) link to a direct download (via dropbox) and the gamefaqs page here :) most of the info for it before this was all on japanese sites and even then there wasnt a ton outside of the VERY helpful japanese wiki (link to that here, google translate and a good knowledge of the creatures are your friend here :) it has some stuff i didnt put in the guide such as trooper listings and a VERY helpful map that has each town/rebel (what the Volfoss term for towns are. dont ask me why its confusing lol) color coded for each of the big cities that control them). if you need any other help, lmk! i included some of the helpful sites at the end of the guide as i def recommend keeping up the gallery page and the unit guide spreadsheet as u play until u get a hang of the creatures :)

#asks #i wish soooo bad someone WOULD fan translate it but considering i dont have a great knowledge of JP and did it mostly thru machine + #translation with a lot of fact checking w various sources- this is the best i can do lol. but i promise its fully playable to play it this #way :) but again as a guy that spent like... god 2-3? months on this. from oct-dec. i have a lot of knowledge of it so. if you need more #help lmk :) volfoss is a great game w a PHENOMENAL story dealing w how war can affect the regular citizens and is honestly one of the best #rpgs ive ever played. genuinely tho if u need more help my dms are open and i love talking about it :) #i do hope the guide is helpful bc god. its very scary to see a game w 5 routes and not a ton of eng when u do not speak jp at all lol #♟️

NOBODY FUCKING MOVE.

[automatayaoi]

playing ff16 again bc i desperately need to finish it and my currents thoughts are like. This game has some massive gaping plot holes (why were bearers enslaved and vilified in the first place? are the people so intensely reliant on crystals and magic that they don’t know basic survival skills like banging rocks together to make fire and digging holes for wells?) but the rest of the game particularly the character writing and absolutely insane cutscene animations are so fucking baller i can mostly look past it

#if you desperately ignore those plot holes this is like one of the best rpgs ever made #***************SPOILERS******************** #i belieeeeve i just got back from destroying drake’s spine? #and ultima has started primo genesis whatever the hell that is #frog croak #charlie plays ff16

[lemon-3ds]

Reasons to play Magical Starsign

Because more people genuinely need to experience this hidden gem of a ds game (It's a good game I prommy)

(Kinda long post ahead)

Genuinely nice and unique character design!

(And this is literally just your party! There's so many more characters out there with nice designs like these!)

Mokka

Literally one of the main parts of the story is ACAB and I'm not even joking.

The plot is actually quite interesting and very creative!

The art style is very nice looking!

(Like. Look at it.)

There's some heterosexual relationship stuff between the protag and one of the party members depending on the gender you choose, but it isn't a major part of the plot. It's maybe mentioned like once or twice instead of being in your face like other media with heterosexual stuff, which is a nice breath of fresh air.

The robots are kinda readable as autistic which is very poggers

Banger soundtrack!

Mokka

#seriously though magical starsign is VERY MUCH a hidden gem. i cannot recommend it enough. this game genuinely deserves more love #if you ever need an rpg to play i highly recommend this one. #also yes listing mokka off twice was on purpose. best character hands down #an individual known as lemon does the act of expressing her feelings with words

[thelastschnitzel]

Me, when I see that the Dancing Couple Enemy in Sea of Stars can also consist of two guys / two girls: 😍

#sea of stars #up until now one of the best rpgs ive ever played #its so so good #the fight dynamic is great #it looks awesome #i love it #queer gaming #queer #its crazy how happy these small things make me

[celepeace]

Someday I'm going to make another masterpost of monster capture games but that day has to wait until I've crossed another several games off my list

#i still need to finish coromon and cassette beasts #i've played monster crown for all of 30 minutes #and i haven't touched the dragon quest monsters series yet #once i've finished all those and can make informed analyses on them i'm gonna write that post #moirai's upcoming game probably will not be out by then but it will get an honorable mention by virtue of i wholly trust the studio #monster sanctuary still reigns supreme as one of the best monster capture and even party rpg games i've ever played #just because the mechanics and battle systems are so rock solid

[spndaemon]

Since I’m unable to play BG3 until it comes out on PS5, I decided to try my hand again at Divinity Original Sin 2 because it didn’t really catch my interest as much as other crpgs I tried out, like Pillars.

I spend a lot of time running around looking for things to do but keep running into over leveled encounters. Have I just gotten spoiled by games throwing things at me that are usually my level?? It’s kinda frustrating to finally find something interesting only to get one shotted by lightning from a rando or a witch scarecrow thing burning my whole party to death???

I just feel so dejected and I’m not really having a whole lot of fun.

I’m still somewhat looking forward to BG3 because I love D&D and TTRPGs in general but I am curbing my hopes back a bit since I hear that BG3 is similar to DOS2.

#divinity original sin 2 #dos2 #maybe crpgs aren’t for me???? #but I loved Pillars of Eternity #one of the best rpgs I ever played #I just really wanted to enjoy this game and I’ve given it so many chances

[volfoss]

Nearly onto the 2nd to last act of Witcher 1... Hoping i can finish it today

The unofficial translation of Gensou Narratograph is now available to download! (PDF only or .rar file with bonus assets)

I know no one ever actually looks at tumblr blogs, but I've made a basic page to hopefully collect information and links in the future.

An unofficial tabletop RPG published by Kadokawa. While the game as a whole is by no means "canon", it includes a full transcript of a game session with ZUN as one of the players, plus new character quotes and location descriptions written by ZUN, so it's worth checking out just for that alone.

Narratograph is largely boardgame-based, played with a selection of 30 characters gathering clues on a map of Gensokyo to progress through objectives and resolve the incident/kerfuffle of the week. However, it is still an RPG, with every scene being roleplayed and the incident also having a proper story to it. Narratively the game leans towards the light and feel-good end of Touhou fanworks, though I suppose it's up to you what you do with it. The book includes two prewritten adventures as examples, one of which I've run for a group to test it out.

It has pretty digestible mechanics, and a very unique danmaku combat system. To help with the number of sheets, figurines, tokens etc. needed, I've made public the Tabletop Simulator mod that I use to run the game myself, together with character figurines. You can use the assets included with the game to try and make it work in some other virtual tabletop of your choice. Or of course, you can also just print everything and play it live, if you can get a group together.

The rules have some quirks, and I'll try to figure out the best way to post my own notes and suggested houserules. As things stand, though, despite having nothing to do with the game officially, after putting a lot of work into it, I'm also curious to hear anyone's thoughts or experiences running it!

The WINNER of the Tournament of fav tumblr rpg male romances is...

The Master of the Vollante

The Babe of Frontiers

The Heart of the Gate

WYLL RAVENGARD

Enjoy this two minute FANVIDEO DEDICATED TO HIM (don't miss the final quote, it is my favorite), I used the most appropriate song ever. Congrats, Wyll with a y!

(he is the hero, but he also needs a hero to sweep him off his feet, get it?)

With about 1235 votes, Wyll beat Garrus in the finals of the tournament. This gives him the title of best tumblr rpg blorbo and babygirl.

(more under cut about the Wyll's sweep and his character)

Wyll jumped into the tournament qualifying among 69 total characters, and being the most voted of his section in round zero! Wyll was also the most voted OVERALL in round one where he got about 6420 votes against Cullen (88% of votes). Round two saw him winning a very close competition against Zevran, and in round three he won with almost double the votes against Astarion! Again with double the votes he won against Dorian Pavus in the semifinals!

Very appropriate for him to win as his character is truly a romantic at heart and his actor even revealed in an interview that the romantic scenes were his favorite to film.

Wyll is a companion and romancable option for any gender in Baldur's Gate 3. You will meet him while he is in pursuit of a devil, just to find out that the honor and code he is trying to live by might be clashing with the path he could be choosing.

Wyll's romance has a kiss that has been nominated (and won) for "favorite kiss ever in a rpg game by me and for my opinion only and I just love it".

Man who will crack a joke when you least expect it

EVEN WHEN IT REALLY IS NOT THE TIME

Just to turn around and offer you the most heart shattering and unwavering support

Monster smasher (in all senses) hero, who truly needs someone at his side who makes sure he fights his own battles too, not just the trials of the coast!

Very happy to see he is currently (with all the biases and limitations of such polls, of course) the favorite romance in the rpg fandoms here on tumblr (for male characters)!!

Please, make sure to also jump in the female characters tournament!!

Also, CONGRATULATIONS TO GARRUS who came second in the tournament, and FENRIS who came third! (as he had more votes than Dorian, in the semifinals)

*In the fanvideo there are the seven clips that are not from Wyll games. I wanted to write them down as this is supposed to be a rec for his romance, so I don't want to trick people!

00:16 I modded Wyll into Karlach and used Astarion as player character (Karlach romance scene act 3)

00:38 Astarion romance scene, I played as Wyll but I flipped the character with the ring of metamorph mod so Wyll could pick up Astarion

00:50 Like the first clip, this is Karlach scene from act 3

00:51 I modded Karlach into Wyll, this is her scene from act 1

00:53 I modded Shadowheart into Astarion and I was playing as Wyll, this is Shadowheart romance scene in act 1

00:59 This is Astarion romance scene in act 2, I was playing as Wyll

01:07 The hug is from Astarion romance, epilogue, where I was playing as Wyll
