Between that and the horrendously creepy artificial town nearby filled with actors paid to live day-and-night in an uncanny-valley attempt at portraying the Ideal American Small Town, there's got to be an Unknown Armies adventure in there somewhere.

It also caused the glut of lovely d20 products, loving up the market as well as the ability to design or appreciate other kinds of games in a large majority of the hobby.

Are there any games that are inspired/based off of ancient cultures that are generally obscure because they don't fit neatly into the western "world history" textbooks propaganda depiction of an imaginary line of progress going "Greece > Rome > Western Europe and USA"? Despite my tone I'm actually serious about the request.

Card games? If at all possible, I recommend you pick yourself up some Pixel Tactics. It's a 2-player game but it has alternate modes for 4-player play and you can buy the original set and/or the two expandalones and it works regardless of which you actually decide to get.

So I did that thing again where I manage to cut through my depression for a few hours and write down most of a game in one sitting. It's sort of like the real world parts of The Matrix or Terminator's future, if the surviving resistance relearned and extensively utilized arts of diabolism that were mostly lost after the ancients drove demons from the world :devil:

E: Basically if you ever wanted to punch a security robot with claws wreathed in hellfire and shoot another in the face with a giant revolver that's actually a demon bound into that shape while your buddy steals one of the Hundred Hearts of the Machine so that your enclave can later use it to summon a demon prince and send it on a rampage, I might have a game for you :v:

The concept I'm working with in the 13th Age game I'm running (which has not yet been tested) is that players magical items are empowered because they belong to those people, they have no innate power. Any sword used by Annegret the Iron Lady is preternaturally sharp and thirsts for the heads of the Fey, but if you were to ask a random person in the world they would say that the sword itself has power. Because she once wielded a blade of Cold Iron, all swords she wields bite the flesh of the fey folk as though they were cold iron.

Sir Gerard leaves behind burned corpses of the wild-men because the people believe he has a soulbound, flaming warrior queen effigy instead of a simple wooden puppet.

Basically, the characters design their magic weapon, and any weapon acts as that weapon, because it belongs to them. Is this just me being overly focused on semantics, or is there a thread of something there?

I don't think anybody else responded to this, but it is a cool idea!

What do you mean by artificial?

Basically I mean an intentional attempt to create a specifically defined society; the clones/AIs/carefully selected volunteers are optional, mainly the thought is "create a nondysfunctional society based on what we know of the sciences of psychology and sociology".

I'd include economics but that's not really a science :haw:
