i was explaining some batfam lore to my friend and i referred to DC canon as a "pick 'n mix at the candy store. you just choose what you like, leave what you don't and mash it together until you're happy" and i just thought i should share
I was in a giant sandbox playground with all of my family members. I had this feeling that Jesus was staring at me, and it scared me so much I teleported to a Taylor Swift concert in which she went into labor and started crying into the mic.
[I.D.: A gifset containing five gifs of the educational Minecraft game Manito Ahbee Aki: The place where the Creator sits.
Gif 1 shows three panning environmental shots. One shot shows bison in the forest. Another shot sweeps over an aerial view of a teepee community in the forest. Another shot shows a large field of wheat.
Gif 2 shows a first person view of the player hunting in a forest with a bow and arrow.
Gif 3 has two scenes. One scene shows the player paddling in a canoe through a river. The next scene switches to a first person view from the canoe as the player approaches the shore where three teepees stand.
Gif 4 shows a line of bison running through a grassy field together.
Gif 5 shows the player talking to the NPC Grandmother Chickadee. A text box with her dialogue appears, saying “Semaa (Tobacco) is a connection to our creator and ancestors. Semaa allows us to communicate with our ancestors to ask for guidance. Semaa is a gift of reciprocity. We give semaa to recieve knowledge and healing. Prior to recieving knowloedge and/or healing from a Knowledge Keeper you must offer semma.”

'Against the Wind' is a solo/coop fantasy-adventure sandbox game in a land ravaged by fierce winds and biting cold, all infused with a subtle pinch of fairy tale ambiance.
Inspired by the brilliant art of Kay Nielsen, in this game you:
• Craft your own world
• Create a unique character with 19+ tables
• Discover the land as you play with 60+ tables to aid you
The game mixes classic themes such as wilderness exploration and dungeon delving with narrative-focused mechanics.
A single resolution mechanic abstracts your skills, equipment and assets into resources you use to get what you want.
There are procedures to create and explore the winterland, to interact with the folk you meet, to craft potions and more!
Characters are defined by their resources and a series of traits.
Look at how unique they can turn out (I didn't even use all of the tables):
I'm starting itchfunding today (I thought the winter solstice was thematically appropriate), and to celebrate, I'm putting all my other games on sale as well for two weeks! ❄️❄️❄️
