The one page rpg I played was called “Wonder,” and it was about a band working to make one last one hit wonder. Our band was made up of me “Jerk Jacob” on Keys, Dylan “Dynamic Mess” on Bass, and Loklin “Hopilite Harry” on Lead Guitar. Our band was called “Robot War,” and we worked to make an 80′s ballad. We decided to divide the writing in half to speed it up, so we made a 12 line song instead of the 24 line one. Each musical instrument gets different restrictions on how they can add to the song, which introduced specific challenges. Also, whenever you disagree with someone’s lyrics, you mark down a tension, and when you hit three marks, you flip out literally and leave the band. My character would only approve a lyric if they could change at least one word, and once Jerk Jacob got fed up, Mellow Mary popped in and convinced the other two members that the song should end with accepting all people on earth as one person, unified in their love for each other. The song lyrics slowed down as we got near the end, but it was fun to do, and definitely wouldn’t be my first choice for a one page rpg.
had a fascinating dream last night where there was a new, virally popular trading card game - it was called MOUNTAIN (stylised in all caps) and the whole gimmick was that you couldn’t buy boosters or anything - you had to find them?
nowhere sold MOUNTAIN - I mean, I expect players did, once cards were in their hands.
but acquiring cards meant noticing a box lying around, and just….nabbing it? they’d be in weird places - in a skip, wedged high up in a fence, nestled in the branches of a tree? nobody ever saw who left them there, and there was a lot of debate about how MOUNTAIN boxes were sometimes hard to acquire without risking one’s physical safety - but then, that was also bragging rights. especially as harder-to-reach boxes seemed to contain more elusive and sought after cards…
no, I don’t remember anything about the actual gameplay, we never played any MOUNTAIN. alas. I know there were “frame cards” that were literally transparent but for a fancy metallic or holographic border, which I guess upgraded the card they were applied to? frames were super rare, my coworker literally ran up to me in the pub purely to show off the frame he’d just found
dream brain gimme the deets on MOUNTAIN’s actual mechanics, I’m invested in this controversial unpurchasable scavenger hunt game

I also really liked your card's design and mechanics and wanted to try imagining it in a normal card frame! I wish I was better at graphic design so I could fit the gorgeous art better.
I made up a new alternative win condition for red, since a lot of red involves hitting something really hard, really fast. For the color of love, creativity, and emotion, red is very one-sided, sheesh.
This one is nonlethal, even if it's not very friendly. Nobody said anything about friendly.

i keep meeting transfems whose personalities are like, gaping wounds. girls who've been stomped on over and over until they start thinking they're uniquely evil and they deserve it. people shouldn't be allowed to treat us like this.

i always thought that scene in the taz balance finale where merle reconnects with pan and casts zone of truth to burn away the hunger was kind of a tongue in cheek moment where clint casts his signature spell and griffin as the dm humors him by given it a huge affect. like fun but not too noteworthy. but i literally just realized what a phenomenal moment it really was. because the hunger is nihilism. it's hopelessness and pessimism. but the zone of truth dispels all lies and dishonesty. they cant exist under its spell. and that's what nihilism is. a lie. and so when merle cast zone of truth he burned away the lie of hopelessness and if you don't think that's the best thing ever i don't know what to tell you.
