Would like to know what is your favorite sentence or line of dialogue from a game (videogame, TTRPG, card, etc) that you played. A proper sentence, not just a character's catchphrase, also not memes like "All your base".

Is there a line or a sentence from a videogame that has stuck with you for years and years? What is it!?

I want to know!

(Please CW Spoilers if game was released within last year)

The path that I've taken with this new #ttrpg :

Black Pudding zine RPG > B/X hack > no, let's use GOZR rules > hack the shit out of GOZR > now the Doomslakers RPG has no resemblance to B/X D&D or GOZR at all.

Black Pudding still stands as a B/X based RPG zine. Doomslakers RPG is taking the setting, tone, and ideas from Black Pudding and making an original game around them. Because I don't want to be chained to B/X on this one.

Right now it's a d6 pool kind of thing.

I very much like the idea of a #ttrpg sandbox campaign, set in a Sword & Sorcery world in the style of Conan, Elric, and Morrowind.

The biggest challenge that always stopped me from doing it is getting an understanding of why players would want to wander far and wide through such a world, and what they would say what the goals are their characters are after.
Just exploring the next hex because there's nothing else to do sounds boring. The characters would have to want something they are after.

I grew up in the middle of nowhere before the Internet was a thing. But found a D&D Basic Rules Set (1983 revision) at a flea market for $1. So we all got to playing! The funny thing though.. it would be years before we had access to any other books. So with no Expert Rules in sight we just had to wing it when hitting level 4. At first we just started over. Hitting a theoretical Level 4 was the goal. A big deal! Like graduating 6th grade. But from there things got weird.. House rules were added and evolved. Taking the players in directions Gygax never intended. Thieves learned magic and by level 6 could cast "Spring All Traps" for a given dungeon. Clerics picked a Deity and prayed for help getting it based on the nature of who they worshiped. Very free form. Very fun! When we finally got the actual books later in high school? We were not interested in going back. #ttrpg #dnd

While I love making my own settings for #ttrpg campaigns, I find the Procyon Sector from the #ScumAndVillainy rulebook quite impressive.

It's only 47 pages in a giant font (I'd say 10-12 pages in a D&D book). It has 12 planets, that come to one paragraph worth of description each. And 36 factions! That each get three or four sentences of description each.

And somehow this works! I feel I understand this world and its complex power dynamics, and could run a great game with just this.
