Due to a YouTube rabbit hole I have just discovered that the Relict title font is the same as the one used for Blair Witch 2

character limits prevent me from delving into the problematic consequences of semi-thinking but high processing machines built with the imperative to maximize profits and eliminate competition but safe to say this is less terminator and more "high velocity bad autocorrect runs the galactic frontier"

But one thing I've nailed down is extrapolating a world where pervasive AI is evolved from people who were unskilled or desperate enough to train them against their own interests. They're everywhere and the fact that they do the dumbest thing semirelated to their core task is a fact of life. Sci-fi!

I've been quietly tinkering with a sci-fi expansion for Relict and an accompanying setting, DEBT MERC.

It's very early days, mostly still in writing and mechanics.

Normally I don't read my reviews, because that's scary and I don't care for that. But in gathering up some info in prep for The Memory Thief launch, I saw this and it really made my day 💞

Recent interaction:

"Work from home is a scam to get paid to watch netflix"

Me, who's been working from home for employers, clients, and now myself for over five years, usually works well past midnight, and hasn't taken a day off in three months because I ~forget to~ :

Heyo! Relict is a free, expansive TTRPG system I made. The whole rule set lives on the website, gets new additions regularly, and is open source for other creatives to hack and expand on.

Adding the teaser artwork for our second official adventure for fun 😊

Ciri
Major Class: Warrior (slashing - although relict DOES have a chain whip RAW...)
Minor Class: Based on that trailer, Enchanter.
Influence Class: Blink Mage
Variations: Blink could always be higher, but Witcher 4 Ciri looks a lot more ready-to-brawl than ever,

Triss
Major Class: Elementalist (fire)
Minor Class: sorcerer
Influence Class: scoundrel
Variations: swap scoundrel for assassin if so inclined; both can do excellent tricks with stealth and disguise, but with different emphasis.

Yenn
Major Class: Sorcerer (duh)
Minor Class: Elementalist (ice)
Influence Class: I'd probably skip and take the bonus perks for two-class characters

With the #witcher trailer out, this seems like an excellent day to point out how to build Witcher characters in Relict.

Geralt
Major Class: Warrior (slashing damage)
Minor Class: Plague Doctor
Influence Class: Elementalist

It's taken a while (I could do a whole talk on how our business/my workload was before and after the first kickstarter) - but our second official Relict module, Ten Silvers Bent, is finally on the way. More soon. #relict #tabletop #ttrpg

MFW I realized my PC motherboard had Bluetooth this whole time (I tripped over a headphone cord this morning and pulled down half my desk)
