This is suuuuuch a good example of how Realis works. Both the way that it allows for a sort of narrative maneuvering /and/ the way it pushes everyone to really get creative with what they have on their sheets. www.reddit.com/r/rpg/commen...
Reddit post titled: "What's the most elegant mechanic you've ever seen?" 

With the body text: "Elegance" meaning the most complex/nuanced outcome from the simplest inputA post from Reddit user fluxyggdrasil:

The moment I think I "Got" Realis was a session where they were protecting a noble kid at a feast. Good kid, super naive, super surrounded by usurpers.

One noble was found stabbed in the main hall. "Does anybody have a counter for the sentence "I always take drastic measures to achieve my goals?" The intent is to kill this woman." Naturally, the doctor of the group ran out and into the hall to save her.

...what they then learned was that this was a ploy to separate the doctor from the noble kid. 

"...The Doctor is busy, it's just you two now. And now I need to ask you: Do either of you have a counter for the sentence "I always wield an undetectable poison?" Their intent is to poison the child to death."

No 'dice' or random chance, but watching those players SCRAMBLE over their sheets to try and find a sentence they could leverage in a way to counter this sentence and un-poison the kid. (Which credit where it's due, they managed to do!) But man, I never thought Diceless gaming would have any stakes or "High-Pressure" situations until I pulled that admittedly mean trick on them. Consider me a Realis believer. That entire mini-campaign was fantastic.



A follow up question from Strayl1ght:

What was the counter? Now you have me invested

A response from fluxyggdrasil:

My Duelist PC countered by invoking their sentence +0 "I always carry a beautiful and distinct (weapon)." Their intent was to do some medieval-style bloodletting to get the poison out of the blood (or at least keep them stable long enough for the doctor to come back) as their weapon would be sharp as any scalpel, so it would be a much safer and easier cut to stitch back closed.

Going out and taking some reference photos is such an enormously fulfilling experience. I used to work in this hydro dam when I was 17, obviously it was an extremely foundational experience for me. Actually *being in* this place was worth 1000x to my brain than what looking at the photos now is

I spent this afternoon digitizing "magneto optical" disks, a format I'd never handled myself before today. It's a pile of stuff related to marketing at Time Warner Interactive. Here are some very high res digital paintings made to promote Primal Rage.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

i also updated the shading in the texture as well. it was a pain but i blueshifted the cel shading on her white fur and saturated the cel shading on her orange fur. I also added some gradients to accentuate the 3d shape of her body as theres no belts on this fit to do that for me lol
a before and after comparison with bunlith, 'old' displaying a grey and flat looking texture and 3d model and 'new' displaying a more vibrant and saturated texture and 3d model

in this house we are always thinking about lesbian mech pilots
three panel comic. first panel shows the interior of a mech girlcockpit with two pilots, the front pilot looks back at the pilot behind her and stares super fucking lesbianly. The back pilot asks "are you watching where we are going?" In the second panel the girls blushing faces are closer and the first pilot whispers softly "what was that?" In the third panel a mech clumsily crashes through the side of a building tossing debris everywhere. For real though her in a pilot suit would destroy me though

Tip for SFVI players: when your homie goes in for a hug, remember to press light punch + light kick at the same time on the exact frame they would have hugged you to get additional drive and meter, which you can spend on an EX Hug or a Super Hug 3 if you've built up enough gauge.
