One of the more dubious 'advantages' of being the creator of Hentacle is that I occasionally get sent things that 'fans' think I would like to see. This morning I awoke to an e-mail with a link to a stream of some Japanese gothic-lolita porn. In the interests of research (*cough*) I decided to follow up this lead.

What a peculiar experience. Between the high pitched squeaking language of the girl, the bizarre and impenetrable 'plot', the creative camera angles to get around Japanese censorship and the beep-boop incongrously light and bouncy music, not to mention the elaborate costuming, it was much more like watching 'In the Night Garden' than porn, only with jism.

The Japanese are a strange people... if judged by their porn... but then I suppose so is any nation if judged solely by their pornography.

I have an horrific urge to make a LOLcats card game.

The aim would be to end the game with the most Lulz, Lulz gained by having LOLcats (and other LOlcritters) in your play area in front of you at the end of the game and each LOLcat can 'has' thing, to increase lulz. Especially Cheezburger. But some cards take things, or remove LOLcats.

But no, it would be silly.

A nice little bonus for my work on MMV and the illustrations for my 2 (4) Monsters look very nice indeed :)

When one rests one gets ideas...

1. Chinese/Japanese Western - The chinese/american colony of the 1420s succeeds much better, landing on the west coast long before columbus lands eventually resulting in a chinese dominated America with a more modern, frontier outlook than China. This eventually results in a revolt against the homeland influenced by European traders and settlers in the east. Possibly derived from the Revolt of the Three Feudatories. Haishangxin being the capital in the West, probably heavily Manchu settled and more traditionally minded, New Amsterdam being the settlement in the east much more influenced by the western traders and settlers.

Possibly replace the civil war with an East/West war in the 1800s between traditional culture and slave ownership in the west and more progressive eastern ideas and technology.

Key concepts...

* No mass production, pistols and other weapons produced on small scales by master craftsmen with varying reputations and properties in the same way sword smithing was held up.
* Gun blades.
* Gun Fu.
* Martial arts.
* East/West fusion.
* Steampunk.
* Bamboopunk.
* Very low magic (crafting/martial arts) setting.

2. I worked out a way to make my battle card game work, I think.

3. Decided Cthentacle has to be done, really.

Doom has spoken.

Gaming, philosophy, science? Lovely.

If I can't get cryogenically frozen, THIS would be nice.

THIS is awesome and I'll kill any man who says otherwise.

The Marvel Superheroes System, FASERIP (Fighting, Agility, Strength, Endurance, Reason, Intuition, Psyche) was a system of pure genius and, if we're very nice and pledge a few bucks Phil Reed will create an open gaming license version of the system, available for free.

How phat is that?

This is a jolly good idea I think. Peculiar, but charming.
