I love such books that are food for inspiration and let yourself make the context from it through the Artworks alone . But i would even say that Old D&D Artworks and even great Fantasy paintings are the best source-material to get adventure ideas out because modern Fantasy artworks always ruin too much the mystique and the interpretation aspects way too much with their context filled and rather generic approaches.

There was a game called Spaceship Zero that did something similar. It claimed to be the official rpg of an old 1950s scifi show that started on radio and was remade into a German tv show for a few seasons before being canceled. All throughout the book were sidebars referring to trivia from the “show.” It was all very fun.

As a writer and game designer, this is a legendary idea and I am extremely jealous that I hadn't thought of it first. This should be an entire genre. Just... lore that is presented like a game, could be a game... but isn't. It's so inspirational, yet without the baggage of systemic expectation that you'd see from a typical RPG design. As a reader, I suppose _you_ would provide that baggage.

This book ticks literally all the boxes on what I want in my fantasy stories It has the mythical, alien world that you know little about, but remains low-fantasy It has the late-last century design philosophy and style It is moody and atmospheric, conveying a sense of depressing, decaying world with doomed characters It is subtle in its presentation It has highly stylized art It doesn't dump all available knowledge onto you, instead leaving a lot of things, from the look of monsters to the world itself and your purpose in it up to imagination and personal interpretation The only thing that I could possibly ever ask for is for the story to turn out to actually turn out to be some deeper moral allegory or an exploration of the reader's psyche, leaving you with food for thought, but unfortunately I will never know that because the accompanying product doesn't exist. Seriously, words can't describe how much I yearn for some game or novel or show like this. It's like an itch that can't be scratched

This sounds almost exactly like Dark Souls. The only real hiccup is the Low Fantasy, which the earlier segments of the games may resemble, but towards the end it gets less grounded. Still, if you want an actual game that ticks nearly all these boxes, play Dark Souls (assuming you haven't already).The final game dives especially deep into the esoteric aspects of the world and how it functions. Oh, and don't be scared off by the difficulty warnings. The game may be challenging at times, but it's deeply connected to the narrative themes of the game; not to mention that the difficulty is often overstated.

'Unfiction,' is a genre of media that presents a fantasy world as reality. In the case of Vermis, it presents as a guide for a video game that never existed. _House of Leaves_ is one of the more prevalent pieces of literature to do this.
@noesunyoutuber7680
@noesunyoutuber7680 Жыл бұрын
For a more old school approach to unfiction, you may want to check out the Codex Seraphinianus. Originally published in 1981, it's essentially an illustrated encyclopedia from a world that doesn't exist, written in a made-up language with no actual meaning. According to its author, Italian artist Luigi Serafini, it was meant to evoke the feelings a child would feel looking at a book that they couldn't read yet knew adults could decipher.

Damn, that's such a cool premise for a work of fiction. I guess guide books are a bit old fashioned now, but I really like the idea of adapting it to a modern format. Maybe writing a KZfaq walk through review/video essay, or one of those IGN style guides? It could be a really cool way to "create" the artistic side of a game without having to do all the coding and so on of making an actual game.

Follow up comment- I just received my copy and spent awhile reading through the first chapters. It is ASTOUNDING. I absolutely love this booK and have already planned to use this today for a potential one-on-one tabletop session. It is perfect for days like this.

I like the concept behind this. Maybe a potential outlet for video game ideas I haven't the programming knowledge to execute.

Hey Ben. Commenting about a year after I saw this video. Was expecting an in-depth look into an unreleased horror game, and all I got was a new style of TTRPGs that's completely transformed how I view them. 10/10. Love your stuff!!!!!

I love things like this. Reminds me of when they used to put actual lore in game manuals, or reading through a TTRPG rules book.

I love this so much. Anybody know a system with this same kind of melancholic atmosphere?

I was thinking Rovers and Riches if you want a lo-fi BX feel, or Mork Borg classless for grit/femurs, both are free. Can always just roll 1d6 under each 1-5 stat of the "class" too. Also can use 1-5 stats of each "class" as a bonus in PbtA (10+ pass, 7-9 half, 6- fail).

Grave is a knockoff of Knave with a more soulslike, classless approach. I'd recommend checking it out.
