Notepad's Detox on Iron Methuselah in about 3 Minutes

[@sidewinder2716]

Calling experience points your "score" activates an embarrassing amount of neurons.

[@lelandvaughan4429]

Absolutely going to trick a \bunch of players into thinking we're playing a Japanese slice of life game with anime girls, only to drop that the video game they all play afterschool is actually the real world of Iron Methuselah.

[@EvilDoresh]

The whole magical girl genre just kinda fizzled out after Meguca (besides Pretty Cure and various reboots of magical girl shows from the good old days), because everyone thought that being Meguca is _profit_ instead of suffering

[@kamikazoo6599]

Meguca Magicka: The Watchmen of Maho shojo genre.

[@donnmunn659]

For a fully repurposed Granbelm fan TRPG, the name "Iron Mesthuselah" alone hits so hard that alone makes me wanna experience playing or running a session of it as well. Excellent work as always Notepad Anon.

That pivot caught me off guard. It’s got me thinking about the game I’m trying to put together now. I want to make a Magical Girl game that focuses on the strain that being a superhero puts on your life. To communicate that idea it’s a skill based system where both civilian and super abilities draw from the same experience pool. That means the better you are at being Magical the worse you’ll be at being a Girl and vice versa. Right now I’ve kinda stalled out with the project since it’s hard to communicate the feeling I’m going for outside the context of a long term campaign.

You're a weird dude, my guy. 😂 Great work, as always.

[@luizguilhermemajuri7362]

Damn, bamboozled again! Great games, though.

[@stevemanart]

I know this is just me looking forward to combat nuns, but two games based on the beat system. Feels like hammering out ideas for Cruciform, really.

[@NotepadAnon]

Fun fact! This was made even before the vote took place for Cruciform. Iron Methuselah was about hammering out ideas for Granbelm, which in turn was hammering out ideas for Cruciform. It's a massive circle of increasing Dice to do things.

[@ATG913]

Good stuff.

[@HuevoBendito]

Ok, color me interested

[@sadierobotics]

AI shit

[@bryce7344]

I'd take MS paint drawings over some of the shit slop AI 'art' you used

[@NotepadAnon]

Fun fact, you are the first actual person to ever comment on it across all of these videos. But if you are willing to fund the artwork, then I'm always accepting donations. IR would probably take . .. 4K USD? I'd need to get the right artists to do everything of course. That's the hard part, considering we'd need about 2-3 of them to handle different aspects, that's not cheap. Granbelm needs probably about 2K to be reliable, though if I throw a bit of money at the studio they may be willing to make a Pseudo-Official or point me toward the character designers and some of the background artists. Jesus, that's a bitch regardless. MS Paint as well? Fuck dude, you have no FAITH in my ability. I use Paint.net to poorly edit Russian Cartoon tigers, anything else beyond that is squiggly lines and / or esoteric cubism.

[@mistery8363]

It's a free non-profit game, it's the modern equivalent of using pics found in random boorus or google image.

[@CrusadiaIX]

But Notepad-san, don’t you know REAL game designers steal uncredited art from Pinterest???

[@black_flame_studios]

AI art are divine tools given to us by the LORD as punishment for artists being annoying on Twitter.

[@elfhunter6]

No you wouldn't.
