So, in other news, I played Esoteric Ebb over the last week or so.
I thought it was good, but not as good as Disco Elysium, which I'm on record as thinking is the best (computer) RPG ever made. This is relevant because Esoteric Ebb is very open about being influenced by the latter, and by the most philosophical of the late-90s/early2000s D&D video games, Planescape: Torment - broadly, it's approximately D&D 5e mechanics and a homebrew setting with metacommentary on D&D tropes (some of which as well worn as the fact that Enchantment is the most overtly evil school of magic, some of which becomes a bit overly postmodern for me), with DE's "your attributes speak to you", "you can internalise thoughts for bonuses", "politics is everywhere" and general approach to time passing and interactions.
Interestingly, the lone dev does *not* do 5e combat straight - it's a sort of fusion of DE's one combat encounter ("make choices in the same mode as everything else, but with higher stakes") and D&D initiative order and to-hit mechanics. What I find a little irritating about reviews of EE is how they call this innovative, when it's not even innovative for *tabletop* RPGs - there's plenty of systems which don't do D&D's turn-based mechanical approach to combat (including games where combat can be a single die roll, just like anything else, if it's not particularly important to the flow of the game).
And, I guess, broadly, this might also be why I'm generally not as incredibly enthusiastic about EE as reviewers seem to be - it's well-written, there's parts that are even quite effecting (but nothing as good as the best of DE)... but the fantasy-kitchen sink setting and the general "D&D wackiness" of it really detracts from the focus that made DE a truly excellent game. -
Ich hab Esoteric Ebb gerade durchgespielt. Tolles Spiel mit tollen Twists! Viel zu lesen und nachzudenken.
Definitiv wert mehrere Runs zu machen. Beim Ersten hab ich mich einfach treiben lassen und auch nicht alle Quests gelöst.
Snell ist einfach der beste Buddy!
Wer sowas wie Disco Elysium, oder auch Planescape Torment mag, sollte sich das definitiv anschauen! Hoffe da kommen noch mehr Spiele, wie im letzten Dialog angedeutet.

Esoteric Ebb ist ja mal ganz super töfte. Ich hab ja schon Disco Elysium sehr gemocht, aber hier gibt's zudem noch Würfel und ein gewisses Pen & Paper Rollenspiel Feeling. Ziemlich cool!

My husband played the demo of Esoteric Ebb, and we got into a discussion about whether it’s too similar to Disco Elysium or if we are witnessing the birth of the “discolike” genre convention.
He said there will be discourse about how “it’s not a discolike, it’s a discolite, because the protagonist isn’t addicted to anything”
(He does like it, for the record: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2128090/Esoteric_Ebb_Demo/ )

Last look of the weekend. It's a remix of my street fair look. I was feeling a way about my body so I'm not posting that one. This one however is one for the archives.
(The second photo is an expression of pain.)
Happy end of Folsom to the kinksters!

#JamaisVu is a really well-written TTRPG, its had me laughing out loud several times. I am curious how well the solo rules work, but they seem to be spread out in the book. A lotta good oracles in this book though, and the writing captures the feel of the game.
Hopefully once I'm through it, the solo procedure will make a bit more sense, because the way the skills work in solo play is a little confusing to me.

The #Steam Winter sale is going on right now. So far I picked up #Timerborn, #DiscoElysium and #ThisWarOfMine. I know what I'm going to be doing for the next week or two :)
