Warren Spector summarises his whole career. Pretty good read!! Did you know he used to work for TSR?! Even though he hasn’t released a good game in decades, and now works for a company whose games either suck or get cancelled, for some reason I still believe whatever he makes next will be good!!! Argos: Riders on the Storm (working title)!!!
did Underworld Ascendant get much better with that big patch they brought out?
Yes and he was responsible for one of the best, most exciting designs of the era when he was at tsr, the Bullwinkle and Rocky Role-Playing Party Game
Which he co-designed with David “Zeb” Cook, the creator of Planescape!
I’m not praising B&RRPPG as a bit, btw, I legit think it is a game design that feels fully twenty years ahead of its time. handpuppets! gmless improv heavy play with oracle-consulting as a resolution system and card based story-generation mechanics! Every character plays uniquely!
It’s legitimately great. None of the baggage (whether mechanical or cultural) you would associate with a ttrpg from the mid-1980s
clock-tower-alikes becoming a genre, what a time to be alive.
Is there some other way to pronounce it?
Is it
Cat shee is the actual pronunciation of the inspiration for the name
could no one in the west bother to take 5 minutes to look up how it’s rendered in katakana
they asked me, a person in the west, to look it up and i refused
Also what is the extra h in “sihth” doing for people, phonetically. Like how does that clarify things
Si-Huth
I support this bc I’m too lazy to memorize the “real” way
if they pronounced it properly in-game, you wouldn’t need to memorise it
I think how I imagine the picture is saying to pronounce it is the way I pronounced it when I was playing it when I was little. Gonna use this as an excuse to post this battle theme.
i mean, an ‘i’ in english is pretty ambiguous, isn’t it?
can be “ee”, “ai”, or “ih” - they used one of those directly
yeah, i just can’t think of any cases in which it has any of those other sounds when it follows s or comes before th…
