1 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,160 Hello and welcome to the Weekly Scroll podcast. 2 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,880 My Name Is Ryan. And I'm Tatsu Oshima. 3 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:27,040 And today we are going to be looking at CYCERS from Logan 4 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:36,000 Dean. This is a sci-fi action 5 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,760 role-playing game of Psychic Misfits run amuck based on or 6 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,440 inspired by Scanners and Firestarter, which I love. 7 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,000 Also gives me really hardcore episode one of Elf and lead 8 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,680 vibes. I have not seen all three of 9 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,120 those things usernamed. You've never seen any of those 10 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,160 things? Oh, OK, well, Scanners is 11 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,040 amazing. Is Scanners A Cronenberg movie? 12 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,440 I don't know if it is. I need some head exploding in 13 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,520 scanners, right? Yeah dude, if they did a remake 14 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,520 of Scanners, I'd be so happy. No, no, they shouldn't remake 15 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,800 stuff like that. They'll fuck it up. 16 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,760 No, they really do, because the effects on it are really 17 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,640 terrible. It's a great movie though. 18 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,240 It is Cronenberg. I might need to see more 19 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,200 Cronenberg and then fire starters. 20 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,880 The only good thing that Drew Barrymore ever did? 21 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:29,200 She was also like 12 and then and then elfin lead is weird. 22 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,400 Yeah, I it's an it's an anime. I'm familiar with it. 23 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,120 Yeah, the first one is the first episode is brutal, but she's got 24 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,600 this split personality and it's very weird because she's kind of 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,200 like a little girl and there's weird sexual stuff. 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,920 But I mean, there's no but I mean, also anime does that a lot 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,480 and they should stop. But anyway, Psychers from Logan 28 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,320 Dean, fantastic game. So I have the physical here. 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,000 This is currently on sale right now at Space Penguin Inc. 30 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,680 What I also have right here happens to be the Chase version 31 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,560 from Space Penguin Inc. I don't know if you guys, if if 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:10,000 those in the stream can see it is a a pearlescent, shiny cover. 33 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,160 I don't know if it's coming through very well in podcast 34 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,560 land. It's a very like pinkish 35 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,440 pearlescent shiny cover. It's got purple stitching on the 36 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,240 side. It's absolutely stunning. 37 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,080 There's also like a nice texture to it that's different than the 38 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,400 regular one. This is fantastic. 39 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,120 This is the chase version of the game from Space Penguin Inc 40 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,120 Chase as in you know like a Funko pops up chases and shit, 41 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,360 but I absolutely love. And then the interior writing on 42 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,360 the inside is like a silver but with sikers, especially with the 43 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,000 normal looking at the physical. Still, there is this wrap around 44 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,280 and I gotta say, I love this like wrap. 45 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,120 Oh you know what? You know the wrap on the on the 46 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,240 like. Do you see this that you have on 47 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,000 your book? Yeah, yeah. 48 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,120 That is the whole cover of this. Oh, OK. 49 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's what it. 50 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,200 Is it's like the band like I just I think it's a cool thing 51 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,640 to have on your. Oh no, never mind. 52 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,120 It's not. It's the same kind of texture, 53 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,560 but imagine it's slightly pink and you're confusing. 54 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,320 All of us. Pearl SNT. 55 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,800 Anyway, it's dope. But yeah, I think it's 56 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,800 fantastic. Because if you take it off, you 57 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,960 get the cover of the PDF which we'll get to, which has the like 58 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,520 WB project code name Basil underneath it. 59 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,640 But I love this strap. I know that the original prints 60 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:33,880 of the company have it. For those on podcast land, it's 61 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,400 like AI don't know it's bigger than a ribbon. 62 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,960 Just look at the game, it's fantastic. 63 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,360 And then? This takes place in like the 64 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,800 company, like universe, you know? 65 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,720 Mm hmm. Yeah, the mega core situation, 66 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,360 you also get in the physical, you get 3 cards, which are your 67 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,400 test subject cards, which are basically your character sheets 68 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,440 and each one on the back has the three different abilities that 69 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,800 you get in the game that we'll talk about soon. 70 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,600 So that's really cool. And I also love that in the back 71 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:11,600 of the scene, the last two pages are those things, the character 72 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,360 sheets and those. And they're they're cut out, 73 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,079 able or printable from the PDF. So that is the physical fuck. 74 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,560 I need more coffee anyway. Yeah, so that's we're going over 75 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,040 Cycers. Cycers is great before we get 76 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,880 into Cycers because it's a it's a pretty light game. 77 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,320 We've been doing just two fucking many episodes lately. 78 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,680 Quite a few episodes. They've been, they've been a lot 79 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,240 of fun. It's been a lot of fun. 80 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,560 And like, I look forward to, like, you know, the next month, 81 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,800 essentially we're going to have a shit ton of episodes. 82 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,680 It's in a blast, but it is nice to sit down and be like we're 83 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,080 going to do a little Zine, have a little short episode. 84 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,720 It's also cool. This just came out and we're 85 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,040 both big Logan Dean fans. And I will say that when we get 86 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,120 into the book, my one of my favorite parts is the portrait 87 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,280 of Logan Dean on the first page. It's really good, yeah. 88 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:06,640 So this month alone we've done 123456789101112. 89 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,160 This is our 13th episode this month. 90 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,760 Holy shit. And we have at least two more 91 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,120 this month, so we'll be doing 15 episodes this month. 92 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:21,920 And just as of right now, we have 12345678910111213 planned 93 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,080 for next month, and we're probably scheduling four more, 94 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:30,080 so I think we'll do 17. So in the first 2-2 months of 95 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,320 2024, I think we're going to have 30 plus episodes. 96 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,520 Kind of crazy. Yeah, kind of crazy. 97 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,680 Well, and so why, why? Why? 98 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,840 The fuck are we doing this for ourselves? 99 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,520 It's inquest.

There's not a lot of promotion 115 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,040 for Zenquest out there right now. 116 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,440 There's. Really not. 117 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,960 I was actually looking right now. 118 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,200 I'm like I has Kickstarter, even like a. 119 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:41,440 They announced it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 120 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,400 OK. But, you know, I don't know if 121 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,000 Zemo is still a thing, but I haven't really seen anything for 122 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,240 that. I so looked. 123 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,840 For Zemo stuff earlier, I looked for Zemo 2024 and I found like 124 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:56,120 people posting like stuff on Twitter and shit, or you know, 125 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,640 But yeah, I don't know what happened with Zemo, you know? 126 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,920 Whatever. So it's in quest slash cool 127 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,440 projects in February. It is just a TTRPG month for 128 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,320 stuff to come out. So there's Ozo. 129 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080 We were like, whoa, Ozo's not here, we can't do the episode. 130 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,000 But there he is #1 fan. So anyway. 131 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,080 We're we're Ozo's number one fans. 132 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,000 I think is what you meant to say. 133 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,720 It's. Exactly so. 134 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:29,360 So focusing in, yeah, the projects that are currently 135 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,440 funding right now that we want to remind you of that you should 136 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,200 definitely go check out. First is Tacticians of Om which 137 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,720 is on itch right now. It's slow funding that is from 138 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,800 Christian Sorrell, me Castle, Game Ware. 139 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,120 That is the tactical fantasy heartbreaker that they put out. 140 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,560 It's awesome.

And after that, as content is 151 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,920 added, the price will slowly go up. 152 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,320 So I highly recommend grabbing it now. 153 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,960 It's really good.

You have the procedure, subject 353 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,480 intake, the three types of abilities you have and then the 354 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,200 demonstration module, which I really like and I still I love 355 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,720 that at the bottom of each there's like the WB project 356 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,960 report footer at the everything like they did a really good job 357 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,240 of throwing that in. So we hit the procedure and I 358 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,040 when I was reading this, I brought up the company too, 359 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,280 because even though it takes place in the same world and I 360 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,800 would say it's similar but different and I really like 361 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,920 that. I expect, honestly, when I 362 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,520 picked it up the first time I read it, I expected it to just 363 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,960 be the company, like dice rolls with maybe something added and 364 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,040 it's not. It's similar, but it's 365 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:34,840 different. It's similar. 366 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,240 It still revolves around D10, and I think there's a couple of 367 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,040 similes as well. But yeah, it is different. 368 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,000 It's its own thing. Yeah, so the dice roll is it's a 369 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,560 detail like you just said. If a subject has a relevant 370 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,240 trait, that may add plus one per trait level to the role. 371 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,720 So in this one, it's never going to not bother me that that's a 372 00:19:53,720 --> 00:20:00,280 zero at the top instead of a 10, but four levels there is 0 or 373 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:05,560 10, which is it all say 10. It's a success and you and you 374 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:11,120 can reduce stress by 1/6 to 9 is a success, three to four is a 375 00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:13,880 fail, and you take one stress and 1:00 to 2:00 is a fail and 376 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,000 you take two stress. Now compare that to the company, 377 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,040 which is again similar but different. 378 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,200 So in the company there's a critical failure possibility, so 379 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,480 there isn't one in cycers. So there's a fail at 1:00 and 380 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,320 then two stress and a burnout, right? 381 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,640 So there's no burnout in Cycers, right? 382 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,800 Two to seven? Well, if you fail, they're the 383 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,600 kind of like burnout in this one is things go wildly crazy bad 384 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,080 for your character Through its own power, Through its own 385 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,760 power, so. So it's two to seven is a 386 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,240 failure with plus one stress. 8 to 9 is a success, and then 10 387 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:04,680 is a success with -1 stress. So it's the windows for success 388 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,680 I think are bigger in Cycers in that it's pretty much just 8-9 389 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:16,000 and ten in the company, but it is 678910 in Cycers. 390 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,360 And that kind of makes sense because this has much more of 391 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:24,360 that like I don't want to say action movie type vibe and this 392 00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:29,120 is like a you were like a volatile, like powerful, like 393 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:31,240 psychic essentially test subject. 394 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,440 So yeah, it makes sense that success is more likely. 395 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,880 Well, yeah, because also it's pretty much your only ability 396 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,320 for the most part is your mental ability versus the other one 397 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,600 that has like multiple stats and things and stuff like that. 398 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,560 So and more ways to kind of like add points to it. 399 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,160 So I do like what? Yeah, like you just said, I like 400 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,560 that you have these powers, You get to use these powers and 401 00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:01,640 you're you're using them allows more free form success. 402 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,640 Well, especially because it leans into the fact that it 403 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:09,320 could be a solo game, so failure is less fun, I guess. 404 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,680 So powers. So there are three powers, 405 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,400 right? You can utilize the powers at 406 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,520 any time. When a power is used, the 407 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,440 subject takes stress equal to the power level. 408 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:29,280 So we'll get to that. So there's ways to you get 409 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,520 stress even when you succeed, right? 410 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,840 Like so it's and when you fail. So I think that's the other part 411 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,120 of it too, is that you gain stress all the time, pretty much 412 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,200 losing control after using a power subject rolls 2D10. 413 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,840 If they roll below their current stress level, they lose control 414 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,240 dealing that much damage to the nearest person or destructible 415 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,160 object. And if no one's present, they 416 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,040 deal it to themselves. And power levels 4 through 5 417 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,440 always deal damage to the subject, so we'll get to the 418 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,920 power levels on the abilities there in a second. 419 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,600 And then subjects always act first, followed by enemies, 420 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:10,480 attacks, always hit and subject damage determined by power 421 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,440 level, which is D 10. So depending on what your power 422 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,360 level is, you pretty much only have one thing that you can do, 423 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,120 which is use your power at the current level that it's at, and 424 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:24,600 you do damage equal to D 10 times that current power level. 425 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,080 So that's the other thing about having a bigger success pool is 426 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,560 like it always hits, and you always do pretty much just like 427 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,640 one thing. Like at least when you need to 428 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,040 roll dice versus like a narrative. 429 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,880 And then enemy damage is determined by attack plus the 430 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,880 number of detent. So we'll get to that, and then 431 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:45,160 death, if reduced to 0, body trigger power level 5 before 432 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,240 vaporizing. And that's pretty much the 433 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,480 entire rules of the game right there. 434 00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:54,440 Mm hmm. That's it. 435 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,280 We're done. Yeah. 436 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,040 I mean, we're 2 pages into 7 pages. 437 00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:02,040 Yeah, we're just about. So subject intake, you create a 438 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,760 subject, basically you are part of lot 13, these test subjects. 439 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,600 And you can manifest one of three variant abilities, 440 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,840 telekinesis, powerkinesis or telepathy. 441 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,120 And we'll get to those. Which would you take? 442 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:19,080 Oh, I don't know. They're all very cool. 443 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:25,120 I would probably take telekinesis, but this is the 444 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:27,840 kind of game where I'd sit down if I was playing and not running 445 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,880 it, because I I would probably be the one running this. 446 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,080 But if I was going to play, I would live one, else pick their 447 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,080 power powers first. Also, I'd play with a like a 448 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,600 four person, you know, like one person running and three people 449 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,800 playing. I would just let everyone else 450 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,160 pick first because I don't care. They're all cool, so. 451 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,360 Yeah, they are cool. Yeah, I definitely wouldn't play 452 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,360 more than like one of each. Well, it's. 453 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,760 One to four players. So you really can't. 454 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,920 Yeah. And it's like yeah you get you 455 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,120 have two what you have two time. I mean, you could, but. 456 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,720 You have 30 if you want. Yeah, but you're lame if you do 457 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,840 that. Play the game. 458 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,760 Yeah, Rules is great, bro. But yeah, I mean, I would, I 459 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,920 would do the same thing as you. And if you took tackling, you 460 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,960 said I would take telepathy, but yeah, I like them all. 461 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,840 Next subjects determine 2 traits and mark 20 body points. 462 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,800 So that's basically your health. Yeah, 20 points. 463 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,680 And so the thing that's crazy about that too is like you could 464 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,200 instantly die. Mm hmm, like you have to roll 465 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,000 2D10 for your and then go under stress and then when you do no. 466 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,760 So at least two turns you could so subject damage it's power 467 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,880 level times D 10. But like if you use a third 468 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,040 level power roll, a 3D ten, you could just die on your first one 469 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,280 like you like the odds of dying. The odds of getting out seems 470 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,400 small in this. I do like the the rules as 471 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,640 simple as they are, really reinforce the narrative of like 472 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,400 you're an experiment subject that is like the like even we'll 473 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,160 get to enhancement talks about like oh, Lot 13 is not done with 474 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,760 you yet. Like it's still you're still 475 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,240 gaining control but you're still evolving essentially. 476 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,200 So yeah, you can just fucking hurt yourself. 477 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,360 Or if you die, like you're just gonna blow up everything around 478 00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:14,040 you because you're a walking, volatile bomb essentially. 479 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:24,160 Yeah, I yeah, I love that you. It feels like it's supposed to 480 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,720 feel like when you think of that and you're like fuck, like I 481 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,440 could I could literally use my power once and just fucking die 482 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,520 or twice and die. And when I die I like so like 483 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,440 the fire one when we get to it. Like their level 5 power is like 484 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,400 all metal and like 100 meters melts and. 485 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,200 You're like you're. Fucking nopa bomb. 486 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,280 Like so it's just like you get to a point where it's like man 487 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,680 do I use my powers? Do I just, you know what? 488 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,160 Like what do you do, you know? So I love that the the, the how, 489 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,240 however light the mechanics are and their ultra light still 490 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,440 reinforced. Just like how fucked you really 491 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,960 are and like how powerful you really are, but also how 492 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:58,960 dangerous. It's neat. 493 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,120 I really like it. So traits. 494 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,960 Traits are behaviors and which the subject is well practiced or 495 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,840 versed. They are broad descriptors that 496 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,120 can be applied to many situations to confer plus one. 497 00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:13,360 Traits can be advanced through enhancement. 498 00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:17,240 So a subject has to trait, for example cool under pressure, 499 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,560 which can apply to plus one bonus to sneaking right or 500 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,360 lighten the mood. Or they can make a valid 501 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:25,960 argument. So traits are determined by the 502 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:31,560 players can be anything at all. So this is very super wide open. 503 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,520 There's not like a huge list of traits here that you have to 504 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,760 choose from. You just pick something cool 505 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,240 that you're or something that you are well versed in. 506 00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:43,560 It could be literally anything. Juggling, whatever. 507 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,880 Yeah, but if I pick juggling, that could be not only 508 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,520 physically juggling something, but I could also be juggling 509 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,640 multiple like. Or yeah, absolutely. 510 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,320 So it's interesting. I like that. 511 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,760 And I think that I like the way it's written as well because you 512 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,720 could easily have this be too broad that people are like, 513 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,760 wait, I don't understand, but like I feel like this is written 514 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,880 in such a way that it's like, no, I totally get like what this 515 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,080 means. Like the three lines that are 516 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,600 there, enhancement, which is basically advancement. 517 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,120 So lot 13 isn't done with you, just like you said earlier and 518 00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:22,240 your gifts grow stronger and they grow stronger fast as fuck. 519 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,320 So yeah, after an encounter. So, so not even at the end of 520 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,400 like the session, after every time you have an any encounter 521 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:37,880 at all, right, you recover six health and remove 6 stress and 522 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:44,440 you advance a trait plus one or add a new plus one trait and 523 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,720 reduce the stress cost of a power by 1. 524 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,240 So that's the one that I was like what is stress cost? 525 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,080 And we'll get to that I guess, because when I look at powers, 526 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,840 it says when a power is used, the subject stress takes stress 527 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,560 equal to power level. So my assumption is when you use 528 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,880 a level through power, you take 3 stress right? 529 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,640 But every time you have an encounter you instead of three 530 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,040 stress, you would take two stress instead. 531 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,600 That's how I read it as well. So if you live long enough at 532 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,320 your power level, you could like be using it without taking all 533 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,720 of that extra stress. Yeah, yeah, you could. 534 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,680 You could get to towards the end of this, like because it is like 535 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,680 like an encapsulated, like bottle adventure, you know, like 536 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,840 the the adventure in the book is all of it. 537 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,600 So yeah, by the end of it you could just be fucking blasting 538 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,440 shit with your mind and totally OK. 539 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,800 Yeah, yeah, I dig it. All right. 540 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,920 So, I mean, this game is so light. 541 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,600 Like do you want to just read through the three, the three 542 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,400 things? I don't want to take 543 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,360 telekinesis. Also, First off, the art in this 544 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,200 really very good. They're. 545 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,280 Fantastic. It's funny, 'cause they're so 546 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,320 little and like, there's so few pages in this and all of the 547 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,440 art, and I'm like, oh, this is really good art. 548 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,920 Yeah, so TK, telekinesis, push, pull objects and people. 549 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,800 The day you pushed a nurse against the wall with your mind 550 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,240 as they tried to take your blood, you knew something was 551 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,560 different. After they cleaned up the blood 552 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520 and teeth. I forgot about that part. 553 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,800 After they cleaned up the blood and teeth, they put you on an IV 554 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,920 drip that made you drowsy. You can make the blind shift or 555 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,840 change the channel, but nothing beyond that. 556 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,760 Then you thought to stop the drip. 557 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,640 It took a while, but eventually you came back to life. 558 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,160 They never knew what hit them when you tore the door off the 559 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,520 room and threw it down the hall. Now you're out and you'll tear 560 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,520 them limb from limb before they take you back. 561 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,600 Great writing in this too. Like what is like an evocative 562 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,520 scene. It's like and that's one of the 563 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,480 cool ideas like, yeah, you're telekinetic and they try to like 564 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,000 put you under, but you've just enough to do something small and 565 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,120 you're like, oh, I'll stop the IV drip. 566 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,480 It's a drip you know it's just very slow moving thing. 567 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,480 Yeah. And the powers are so moving 568 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,760 from zero to 50 being move small objects. 569 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:16,880 So you can just do it. One stop projectile very Neo in 570 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,880 the matrix. Two move large object, three 571 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:26,000 move a huge object, 4 crush and five shred. 572 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,160 You strip tissue 100 meters in radius. 573 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,360 So if you die, you do that and everything around you is just 574 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,200 torn to shreds. Yeah, Crazy. 575 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,520 So good. And I love the art. 576 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,000 And it also is like, that's definitely like a kid. 577 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,200 Like a kid. Kid, yeah. 578 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:50,160 Absolutely. Yeah, the next one is Para 579 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,160 Kinesis again another great piece of art. 580 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,880 I like how even within this there's like the file photo like 581 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,400 on the side it says like file photo. 582 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,000 Subject. Just the again, like the 583 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,880 commitment to the to the bit, which I I really love. 584 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,360 So pyrokinesis, PK creates control, heat and flame. 585 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,160 You know immediately. You knew immediately that first 586 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,000 injection burns something way inside you. 587 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,240 All your worry and pain, all your mistakes and imperfections, 588 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,320 senders. Your old self is gone and now 589 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,160 you burn. And you burn hot. 590 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,920 Being your captivity, the company had you in special 591 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,440 chambers designed to douse you at a moment's notice. 592 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,320 They thought this protected them, but you knew better. 593 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,080 Nothing can extinguish your flame, least of all a fancy 594 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,880 sprinkler. Now you're out and they can try, 595 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,120 but before, but they'll all burn before they take you back. 596 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,560 It looks like that you've actually bumped up a little bit. 597 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:54,880 Great piece of art, this person clearly on fire and then the the 598 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,400 power matrix for them. So zero heat objects slowly. 599 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:04,960 One is ignite small object, slash heat object fast 2 ignite 600 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:11,200 large object, 3 stream flame from hands 4 flash incinerate 601 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,200 organic material and five supernova so it melts metal in 602 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,160 100m radius. That's great, Yeah. 603 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,600 Yeah, next one's gonna be TP telepathy. 604 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,040 Let's communicate and control other minds. 605 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,280 The noise started after they injected you with Lot 13. 606 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,240 You heard their thoughts as they walked by the room and they were 607 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,600 so loud. When you asked the nurse to be 608 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,320 quiet, they tiptoed out of the room and never spoke to you 609 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,240 again. Yet the noise persisted. 610 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,960 When it finally got to be too much, you screamed and blacked 611 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,520 out. When you woke up, you were 612 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,480 groggy and there were people scrubbing blood off the walls. 613 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,440 It was hard to form basic thoughts, but at least it was 614 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,200 quiet. Recently they started letting 615 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,920 you surface from the void and asked you to do things. 616 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,560 Find this person, make them do this. 617 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,960 It was humiliating. You're glad you lashed out 618 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,840 again. Now you're out and you'll watch 619 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,120 all their of their heads pop back before they take you back. 620 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,480 Oh, sorry. All their heads pop before they 621 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,840 take you back. You little sleepy boy. 622 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,320 You know power matrix for this. Here. 623 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,639 Thoughts is 01. Send thoughts. 624 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:29,199 Two control animals, 3 control people, single command 4. 625 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,880 Explode head yeah heads just explode and A5 entropic wave 626 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,239 destroys mines 100 meters in radius. 627 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,040 So like the way I interpret these is if one person dies, 628 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:46,080 it's essentially a TPK. Yeah, I mean, I guess. 629 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,480 And you're all gonna be within 100 minutes of each other and 630 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,280 you're not. No one's surviving any of these 631 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,000 things, so. That's very true. 632 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,760 That's very true. I didn't even think about it 633 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:58,680 that way. I guess. 634 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,680 I don't know why. I think in like the if this was 635 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,640 a movie, maybe it would center around the group as opposed to 636 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,280 them individually. But I guess I would just it, 637 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,840 would I? Would run as AI, would run as a 638 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,520 TPK and be like, cool, we'll try again. 639 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,400 Or, you know, whatever. I mean, that's very true. 640 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,440 That's very true. Especially, well, you know it. 641 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,840 It is. You do have the option for solo 642 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:24,320 and or 1G and one player. I don't know how I would really, 643 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:29,080 with what's written here, run it solo because there's not really 644 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:33,360 like a like an Oracle. There's nothing to roll on, you 645 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,200 know what I mean? Like you'd be, I mean. 646 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:40,240 There is like the adventure's all laid out, all the enemies 647 00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,800 are laid out. I would just roll for both, you 648 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,600 know? Like I would just be the 649 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,920 character I mean, and I'd write it as I went. 650 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,480 And yeah, yeah. I guess so. 651 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,960 No one referred to be Sillo. I guess without you. 652 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,920 Like, yeah, writing and then doing the thing you're doing. 653 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,600 I guess it would need to be more adventurous for it. 654 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,040 But for I think this would be ideal. 655 00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:06,760 I think this would be ideal as one player, one GM. 656 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,320 Yeah, you know what I mean? Like I feel like that would be 657 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,680 the ideal way. So I kind of want to at least 658 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,320 like walk through the. I know we don't do the 659 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,840 adventures, but I really like so they did practical application. 660 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,520 This is the following scenario is intended for demonstration 661 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,040 purposes. So it is like an encapsulated 662 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,840 adventure. So this is the escape. 663 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:34,440 But the other thing too is that like the this isn't the entire 664 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,200 game. Like you could have multiple, 665 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,880 like, I feel like whatever is happening, the way the game is, 666 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,400 rules is written. Like the scenario it even says 667 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,680 at the end like it's it's or on the itch page. 668 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,440 It's designed to be like one session and you're done. 669 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,720 But I like that there's a possibility of multiple 670 00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:56,520 scenarios in that like in this scenario specifically tell me if 671 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,040 I'm wrong. You're you're escaping the lab. 672 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,280 You're like you're getting out right. 673 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,840 So I like that that's the initial one. 674 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,200 But you could have also just escaped already and been like 675 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,080 hiding in like an apartment building and then all of a 676 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:16,160 sudden like, you know, windows break, flash bomb jumps in and 677 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,080 now it's like get out of the apartment building. 678 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,280 You know what I mean? It could also be a scenario 679 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,200 where it starts to trigger your powers to go higher and higher. 680 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,480 So there's multiple scenarios, but I do like that it's a very 681 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,600 kind of like almost like like raid kind of thing. 682 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,480 You know what I mean? Where like, and I mean that like 683 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,520 the movie, it's like it's it's just one location if you like, 684 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:35,640 and that's the entire of the game. 685 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,440 But you could also, if you wanted to stretch this out into 686 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,760 like more of an adventure, where like at the end of the adventure 687 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,400 you're like you have an enhancement too. 688 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,440 Like there's multiple ways you could run this, but I did kind 689 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,880 of want to walk through like not read the adventure entirely, but 690 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,280 like kind of just hit on the points and talk about like how 691 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,320 the enhancement works throughout the thing. 692 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,600 What are your thoughts on that? Let's see it. 693 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,040 So it kicks off with the variable. 694 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,720 So basically there's an, there's an arc team and then there's the 695 00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:07,080 enemy subject, which is you. So because I love that, it's 696 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,200 written that you are the enemy in this practical obligation 697 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,640 demonstration. And then there's a director, and 698 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,840 that's the entire thing. So the point of this is to 699 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,840 escape the lab. So you are the subject of Lot 700 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,760 13. You're getting out of the lab 701 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,880 after you've been injected with the substance and you're, you're 702 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,800 gaining these powers, right. So an alarm has sounded, an 703 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,440 escape is happening, and you have to free yourself. 704 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:35,320 So I dig that. So there is a level like level 705 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,640 B3, the holding corridor. There's an encounter with the 706 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,560 ARC team, right? And then after the encounter you 707 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,680 get an enhancement right? So things happen, you encounter 708 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,920 the arc team. If you defeat the arc team, we 709 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:54,840 go back to enhancement right? And then as soon as you 710 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,440 encounter them in the stairs, you can recover six health after 711 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,120 that encounter, remove 6 stress after that encounter and advance 712 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,160 a trait or add a new trait right right off the bat. 713 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,120 And now you're now you're at power level 2, right? 714 00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:12,520 Right now you have the part about enhancement. 715 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,320 Wait a minute, Wait a minute. Where does it talk about 716 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:21,360 increasing power level? Enhancement. 717 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,160 You increase a trait and you reduce the cost of a power by 718 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:26,640 one. But. 719 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,760 Where does it talk about increasing the power level? 720 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:39,280 I'm sure when power is used as a fatigue stress, Yeah. 721 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,680 Oh, did I miss? Did we dismiss where it talked 722 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,080 about when you actually get to increase your power level or do 723 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:46,880 you have all of these? Things. 724 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,680 You can always use all of the powers. 725 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,320 Yeah, you don't. Start being able to use all of 726 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,560 the powers. It's just it's mostly the 727 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,120 detractor is the stress cost. Right, right, right and. 728 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,040 As you like lower stress cost, like if you start out and use 729 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,520 low 5 power, whatever and need low 5D tens or whatever and you 730 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,240 take the damage. Like you're dead. 731 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:09,800 You're fucked. Yeah, totally. 732 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:16,760 So it it self limits immediately by that and the stress cost so. 733 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,960 Yeah, I will. So my brain, I don't know why my 734 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,360 brain just wrote this into it in a way that it didn't exist, but 735 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:30,400 my brain had it being every time you get an enhancement, you go 736 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,560 from like 0 to one and then 1:00 to 2:00 and 2:00 to 3:00. 737 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,920 So as you escape, you're actually gaining power 738 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,840 throughout your escape. No, I think it's more that's 739 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,320 easier to use. But I think narratively it looks 740 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,120 like it would look like you're gaining power because there's 741 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,080 your powers you're just not going to use at first. 742 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,720 But you know, it's like 00 you can always use essentially for 743 00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:53,520 free, right, Because it has it cost a zero, so. 744 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,840 Right, So yeah, so that's where my brain went immediately. 745 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,200 So you're right, you can use all of them, but technically you 746 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,760 could just burn out immediately. Yeah, so encounter 1 747 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:09,920 enhancement, you get to level 2, encounter 2, enhancement counter 748 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,520 2 1/2, whatever. So the reason I was gonna read 749 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,920 through this is that so you could see the power increasing, 750 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,320 but that's not how my brain works. 751 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,880 So we're not gonna read the adventure. 752 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,160 They don't do the adventures. But I do really enjoy that. 753 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,600 The way this is written is technically an adventure, but it 754 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,680 is written as like a demonstration where it's a 755 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:32,120 walkthrough of every encounter, what you do as you go through 756 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,440 the encounters. So encounter one and it 757 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,200 literally says enhancement page three, do that now and then this 758 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,720 next thing happens, you know on encounter 2 enhancement do that. 759 00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:45,040 Now you know. I love just like if we're if we 760 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,880 check out one page of the encounter. 761 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,880 Other than that the level 1, the top level, the lobby, when you 762 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,520 encounter the director, the director can use all variance 763 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,920 powers from level zeros to three. 764 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,880 He can use all of them and when you fight the director who I 765 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,200 just imagine it's like this very like anime esque villain who has 766 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,440 all the powers. You know after you give like 767 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,440 deal them 20 damage, they don't die and our team throws a flash 768 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,400 bang and enters and like they then they then they attack and 769 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,120 it has this really great final room feeling to it, you know And 770 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,480 at one point in time it says in there and we don't read through 771 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,720 the venture, but like the director kind of I think maybe 772 00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:28,520 once or maybe more than once talks to the player characters 773 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,800 over the intercom. I remember seeing it somewhere 774 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,040 and I can't. Remember where? 775 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,280 Yeah, there's there's an area after There's an area after 776 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,520 encounter 3 where it says the director in a very serious 777 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,680 tones, warns you that you will not escape this place as 778 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,080 property Wuhan Baxter. You will be destroyed before 779 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,280 being able to disseminate proprietary company knowledge. 780 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,080 I think it's a really great, like a building that, like 781 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,520 villain moment, you know, like the whole time there's like, I 782 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,400 know you can hear me, you're not going to escape here. 783 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,400 Please return to your cells before we have to take drastic 784 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,640 action. And you're just like, oh fuck. 785 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,320 And then you meet the person behind the voice at the end and 786 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,880 you're like, oh fuck yeah, very, very cool. 787 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,400 And just the fact, I mean, if you think about the way that the 788 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,960 adventure is written, spoilers for those out there too. 789 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,360 One of the things you said is it uses all variance powers zero to 790 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,960 three, right? OK, so this guy has all of those 791 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,880 abilities and he's the leader of all of this. 792 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:32,320 Was he a subject or are the serums derived from him? 793 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,720 Right. That's so cool. 794 00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:41,800 That's such a that's such a cool bit of embedded lore with no 795 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:49,040 explanation, really. That adds such a flavor to 796 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,800 what's happening. And I really love when those 797 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,680 kind of things happen in adventures where you're just 798 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,960 like, here's this cool thing, but like, no explanation needed. 799 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,320 Like, he has the powers. How? 800 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,240 Why? Like what's going on? 801 00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,200 Yeah, I love that. So again, we're not gonna read 802 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,520 the adventure even though I said we were going to. 803 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,760 It's fantastic. I love, like I said, in and of 804 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,600 itself it is great adventure. But I love the way it's written 805 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,360 to be a guide through how to play the game because it is 806 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,680 extremely light. The game by itself is extremely 807 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,040 light and having this walkthrough adventure of like 808 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,440 how to do stuff, when to do stuff, when to advance, like 809 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,800 what encounters look like, and like you said, like a really 810 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,280 flavorful final boss room situation for what equates to 811 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,880 like this capsule game is absolutely fantastically done. 812 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,120 The art is great, everything all the way through. 813 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,960 And then when we get to the end as we said before the last two 814 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:46,680 pages, the subject intake forms, there are three character sheet. 815 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,680 Well this is like a in the in the Zine it's the back cover. 816 00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:53,680 That's one thing I would do differently about the Zine, I 817 00:44:53,680 --> 00:45:01,600 think is that the the way that they printed it, like what you 818 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,720 should be able to do is pair this page out and the pages 819 00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:09,360 would be like back-to-back. But it's actually like the back 820 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,280 cover and the back thing. So it's not like the thing that 821 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,760 you could cut out and actually make the cards for, but you 822 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,240 don't need to because they send you the cards and you could just 823 00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:21,280 print it from the PDF, which you also get in. 824 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,240 Fact, if you do pull out that last page, you pull out the last 825 00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:26,520 page of the adventure. So. 826 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,800 Yeah. And you would tear off the back 827 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,640 cover. So yeah, But yeah, like I think 828 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:36,440 if they would have, if they had like like a piece of art like on 829 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,080 the next page or something and then like the last page 830 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,680 completely was like the piece that you could actually tear out 831 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,240 and use that would that would make the scene just slightly 832 00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:47,680 more usable, I think in the way that the PDF is meant to be. 833 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,840 But but yeah, and that's it. That's the entire thing. 834 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,960 That's like we we we bullshitted for like 20 minutes to the 835 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,520 beginning and that's the shortest thing we've ever done. 836 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,720 Honestly though I animus, I meant to look this up and I 837 00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:04,320 completely forgot what it meant cuz every one of the the company 838 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:09,960 things have like a like a Latin quote on them that are just like 839 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,880 worse than the last one. Like in in the context of like, 840 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,160 yeah, like how how fucked up it is. 841 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:27,280 And this one says the mind imagines the future. 842 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,320 Oh God, I love that so much because it's about it's a game 843 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,280 about like mental powers. Yeah, it's good. 844 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,440 It's good. So kicking to the review scores 845 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,640 of psychers. Obviously this is a scene 846 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,600 review. I mean the whole, the the entire 847 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,800 thing is like what like 16 pages and you know the most of that's 848 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,120 adventure. So for those that don't know how 849 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:54,360 we do this scenes, we rate on three scores. 850 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,560 Instead of 5 S Max score of 30, we rate them on visuals, rule 851 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,360 set and vibes. So visuals are all the visuals, 852 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,600 how it looks, cover, layout, art inside everything. 853 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,440 Rule set is the rule set. If it's adapted, do we like it, 854 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,120 If it's not adapted, do we like it? 855 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,600 And vibes are the overall vibes in the entire game. 856 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,000 It's a combination of the rule set, the visuals, the the 857 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,440 feeling of the game. Basically when you close that 858 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,280 back cover how hard, how bad you want to play it for a Max score 859 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:21,960 of 30. So visuals. 860 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,160 Thoughts on visuals? Oh visuals what an amazing like 861 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,680 visually amazing game like the attention to detail like the 862 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,840 like continuation of this theme of like kind of the employee 863 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:38,280 handbook or like the subject files like the layout is very 864 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,000 easy to read. The art is great. 865 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,320 There's just even if you go to like the last page that has like 866 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,040 the like character sheets essentially where it says like 867 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:52,600 lot under score, test subject number in in the under score it 868 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,560 says it's written like it's. Written. 869 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,600 Yeah, handwritten. It's such a testament. 870 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:04,600 It's like, yeah, I mean, what would you say about the bit? 871 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,560 Oh, just committing to the bit. Yeah, committing to the bit. 872 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,160 I was blanking on the term. But yeah, yeah, it's such a 873 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,760 testament to committing to the bit and I think it makes a lot 874 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,160 easier for you to like, get into this game as a like player 875 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,040 character. For sure. 876 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,640 Yeah, this is a pretty high one for me because I think visually 877 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,360 it's amazing. The cover looks great this that 878 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,720 band that wraps around. Oh, band, that's that's the word 879 00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:30,320 I was thinking earlier. And if you get the chase? 880 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,040 Don't. You get the chase, you know. 881 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,400 Yeah, I I don't have that version. 882 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,640 And also almost no one else in the world will either. 883 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,400 So I'm not sure I can hear that. Yeah, shout out dirt. 884 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,360 I mean, I'll always shout out dirt, but yeah, I don't know, 885 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:46,440 I'm pretty high on this one, man. 886 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,200 I'm like, I'm like 8 plus on this. 887 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,560 Easy. Easy. 888 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,320 I mean, here's the thing too. Like when you look through the 889 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,040 PDF but when you actually flip through the book like it just 890 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:58,200 reinforces even more So like just like this is a spread of 891 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:04,160 the book and I just love, I don't know, even just like the 892 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,800 font choice, the way it's laid out. 893 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:16,000 I love that it has the like I said like the the the look of a 894 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,120 report on it where it has like the WB project report number as 895 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,040 the footer on every page and stuff like that. 896 00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:26,960 It just continuously reinforces just everything and it looks it 897 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,760 looks even better. The PDF is is great, but it 898 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,200 looks even better when it's physically in your hand and 899 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:36,040 you're seeing what's going on. The the print quality two of the 900 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,080 Zine is fantastic, I mean. It is. 901 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,880 It's crazy how high quality even printed this for something. 902 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,400 It's like I think all together. What? 903 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,120 Like 14 pages or something? Yeah, it's crazy. 904 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,680 And then like just the the dark blue, is it dark blue or black, 905 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,760 whatever. The threading in the back. 906 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,720 It's not staples, it's threads. Like this is sewn. 907 00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:56,360 You know what I mean? Like, I love that it's a sewn 908 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,680 binding instead of that. And like you said, the band. 909 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,200 I mean, yeah, I'm, I'm in an easy and easy eight. 910 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,600 I mean, I don't know where we put this too, but the the colors 911 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,880 too. I'm almost a nine, honestly. 912 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,160 For this, I I think it might be observing a benign, I mean, 913 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,240 there's just so much going on without it being too much. 914 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:19,480 It's just so lovely. Yeah, I mean at that point we 915 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,680 just start comparing things to other nines that we've looked 916 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,080 at, you know? And then what, like like look at 917 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,480 something. My thought would immediately 918 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,520 jump to something like 9 lives of Allah, Allah you know. 919 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,200 Would you put this in the same realm as that? 920 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,280 Oh yeah, definitely. I think here's the thing, I do 921 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,520 agree and I think this is one of the reasons why is that. 922 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,280 Like, I think one of the things I love about Nine Life's Bahala 923 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,000 is that like texture on the on the art. 924 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,800 Absolutely. But the paper itself physically 925 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,160 isn't texture like that. And this actually has like well, 926 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,040 especially the Chase version actually has like a texture and 927 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,160 stuff. Yeah, let's go 9 on this. 928 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,000 I I I think it's fantastic. I think this is a perfect 929 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:03,680 example of like this versus something like we love dwelling 930 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,120 super mutants, We love visually like the art, the pop like that. 931 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,600 Kind of like I don't want to say art punk style, but like so jam 932 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,840 packed with the color and stuff. This is almost the antithesis of 933 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,520 that in that like it's white, black, columned, everything like 934 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,400 that. But for what it's trying to 935 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,720 succeed at, I think it succeeds at perfectly. 936 00:51:23,720 --> 00:51:26,240 And I think that's the point is that we don't need to compare it 937 00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:28,120 to others. It's just succeeds at what it 938 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:34,360 wants to be doing perfectly. So yeah, nine works for me. 939 00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:37,480 Rule set. Great. 940 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,040 I think it's exactly what it needs to be. 941 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:44,160 I I think the rules like reinforce this like volatile 942 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:49,560 human psychic weapons traveling through an underground facility. 943 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,880 I mean, it's so minimal, but I think that I that's obviously a 944 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,720 strength of, I mean do do one thing and do it well. 945 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:04,760 The like kind of like Fallout Death Rule where it's like you 946 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,640 die and everything around you're going to fucking die too. 947 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,880 There's just a lot of good here. Yeah. 948 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,640 I also like the the moving the metric metric of success to be 949 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:20,040 wider than like in the company so that you still you get that 950 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,240 feeling of success and also because in this game like 951 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,680 succeeding also like is going to cost you sometimes yes. 952 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,320 Yeah, I think. I think. 953 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:28,120 I really love that. That. 954 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:33,280 Like, yeah, that you you get stressed when you fail, but you 955 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:34,640 get stressed when you succeed too. 956 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:36,520 Like, stress is what will kill you. 957 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,240 So it's just like, yeah, why not have success be more likely? 958 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,400 Yeah, because you're going to get stressed anyway. 959 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,320 Yeah, I dig it. What are your thoughts? 960 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,480 Oh man, I I honestly don't know. I mean, I I'm still at like a 961 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,840 heavy eight, I think. You know, easy. 962 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,120 I mean, that's where my brain went. 963 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,280 So let's just do it. I again we said this before like 964 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,400 especially I think, I don't know if you think the same way. 965 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,320 I think when books I compare them a lot more to other books. 966 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,680 Yeah. And and when I think of them but 967 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:16,040 with zines I I think I think of them more as just like what it 968 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,200 what it's trying to do in and of itself. 969 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:19,920 You know what I mean? And. 970 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:24,000 With a book, you have so much more space to achieve, like 971 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,400 something. And with Zine's, it's such a 972 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:31,160 like limited space to achieve like a specific thing. 973 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,520 And a lot of the ones that we look at because we do, the ones 974 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,880 that we like, do those things really, really well. 975 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,600 I I think we have valid criticisms and maybe some 976 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,040 invalid criticisms about all of them. 977 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,400 Yeah, but we're perfect. Yeah, we're perfect in every 978 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,360 way. We're not dumb idiots at all. 979 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,280 Not even a little. Bit I forgot where I was going, 980 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,600 but yeah, I I fuck with this game heavily. 981 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,240 Yeah. Oh, the the Zine thing. 982 00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:57,800 You were saying Like, like, yeah, I think that, yeah. 983 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,240 It's very rare to like compare 2 zines. 984 00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:02,360 I mean also because they just do such like. 985 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,920 Imagine comparing this to acid mages You know, like. 986 00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,720 Yeah, wildly different. Like you said, yeah, it's a 987 00:54:07,720 --> 00:54:13,240 smaller space. So, like, it's more about to me, 988 00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:15,800 yeah, I compare books to other books because they have so much 989 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,400 space to try to accomplish what they're doing. 990 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,520 But in a Zine, it's more of just like what do I imagine the 991 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,240 mission statement of this Zine was and does it accomplish it in 992 00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:28,560 these three things? And that's the the thing for me. 993 00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:31,520 So yeah, I think, I think, yeah, I think the rule set's an easy 994 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,400 eight. I think I'm trying to imagine 995 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,360 what I would add more. I think if I if there was a 996 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:42,000 couple extra pages, I would potentially expand the trait 997 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,040 section just a little bit more, maybe some examples, a little 998 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,320 bit more things like that. You know what I mean? 999 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:49,560 Like minor stuff, minor there's minor bits, but like an easy 1000 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,560 eight, I think for this vibes. Oh. 1001 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:59,120 Pretty high. Yeah, I mean this. 1002 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,040 I love this fucking game and I love this fucking team. 1003 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,840 Really, really like this game? We. 1004 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,400 Have to stop giving every scene we do fucking eights and nines 1005 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,720 though we have. To but we only but we only look 1006 00:55:08,720 --> 00:55:09,880 at really good scenes. It's. 1007 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:11,760 Very true. It's very true. 1008 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:13,920 Well, yeah. It's not, it's not our fault 1009 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,360 that all people that we know that make scenes do a good job 1010 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,760 at it, like that's their fault, you know, like, yeah, do worse. 1011 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,560 Y'all. Well, and the other thing too is 1012 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,120 like we actively like if we look at something we go, we don't 1013 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,560 really like this. We just don't do it because we 1014 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,360 don't want to be mean on the Internet will be critical of 1015 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,720 things that we like because I think that's important. 1016 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,600 That's half the reason we do this is because I think a lot of 1017 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,720 people end up in an echo chamber and hearing like, hey, you know, 1018 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,320 this could be tweaked a bit. It's a good thing. 1019 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,760 So eights or eight or nine? What were you going on? 1020 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,080 Vibes? Oh I'm at 9 for this I want. 1021 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,960 I love this. I like the themes it creates. 1022 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,640 I like how the rules reinforce that. 1023 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,200 I like how the structure of the Zine itself really like 1024 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,880 continues on with that Wuhan Baxter like almost employee 1025 00:55:55,880 --> 00:56:00,560 handbook reinforcing where we are like it's this is a this is 1026 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,160 a very good one. Yeah. 1027 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,000 I'm also just like, I'm a Zine guy, you know? 1028 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,800 Like, I like going over books. I like a lot of the books, but 1029 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,440 fuck, I love AZI love a minimalist game. 1030 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:16,480 Yeah, every time I get something and it's 300 pages, I just don't 1031 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:20,920 want it, yeah. When we look at the game, it's 1032 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:25,280 like 300 pages like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1033 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,720 I mean, so stop making games that have too much shit in them. 1034 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:30,840 Because here's the thing. Almost every game I've read this 1035 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,880 300 pages, could be 50 pages and has 100 and has 250 pages of 1036 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,520 shit. There is a lot of fluff in a lot 1037 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,640 of those, like longer games. I'm like, wow, you really didn't 1038 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,440 need all of this. And like, I feel like sometimes 1039 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,200 some of the really long games, there's a lot of stuff in there 1040 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,480 that I don't feel super necessary. 1041 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,120 And then there's stuff that's missing because there's just so 1042 00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,040 much other stuff. I feel it's almost expanded in 1043 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:54,640 the wrong direction. But with like scenes where you 1044 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,320 have one in space, it's like, OK, we have to like, hammer out 1045 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,880 the necessities for running this experience. 1046 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,080 You know, yeah, I just made like, if a book gives me 12 1047 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,080 classes, please get rid of eight and put it in the second book. 1048 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,320 Just give me 4. That's actually so valid. 1049 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,520 Like, I love a lot of classes, but put it in the extension. 1050 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,440 Yeah, give us. Or put it in the subsidiary 1051 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,440 stuff and like, yeah, give us a mean lineup. 1052 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,200 It's just it's completely different. 1053 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,800 Like, I'm of the mindset word, like just give me the minimum of 1054 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,480 what I need to run the game, so I can run the game and if I like 1055 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,680 it, I'll engage more with it. And then there's people that are 1056 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,160 like everything I've ever thought about this concept I 1057 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,680 need to put into one giant book all at one time. 1058 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,760 You know I. Think it's hard too, because we 1059 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,160 are such a it's such a DIY community that when you lay out 1060 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,800 every potential eventuality of your game, makes it really hard 1061 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,760 to like, hack your game, create custom stuff for. 1062 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:50,520 I mean, think of like 5E custom content like DMS Guild and shit. 1063 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,160 Like all of it sucks, right? It always like it's totally 1064 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,000 fucked because it's an overdeveloped game. 1065 00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,280 Mm hmm. But if you want to adapt this 1066 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,600 like you could because just so it's so simple. 1067 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,840 Yeah, well, I mean, I think while reviewing it, we hacked it 1068 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,240 like twice, you know what I mean? 1069 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,400 Like, I can imagine doing this in three different ways. 1070 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,640 Anyway, yeah, we love it. We love Logan Dean stuff. 1071 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,920 The company's fantastic. Definitely go check out the 1072 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,920 review of the company. I would love to and we will at 1073 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,600 some point be playing. Stop feeling either and or 1074 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,400 probably both the company and Cycers here on the stream cuz I 1075 00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,280 would love to play both and both are really quick that we could 1076 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:29,640 easily do side quests of both of those. 1077 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,840 So expect that in the future.
