[PREVIEW] Design Session #44: Revisiting Damage, The Phantom Clock, and Downtime Moves

E

<html>It's a new year, and we are rapidly getting EIDOLON 2E to the finish line!In this episode, we hit a smattering of random issues that we want to tackle. <ul><li>Damage is an important part of this game, and the way the rules are currently written, GMs are perhaps not given enough guidance on when to inflict it. Luke's been bangin' this drum for a while now, and he finally got Molly to go along with him! </li><li>We removed the limit on how many times you can Push Yourself, because we though the soft pressure of an oncoming Phantom fight would discourage people from doing it too much. Unfortunately, it turns out that Phantom fights are "cool" and "radical," and people aren't particularly scared of them! Maybe we oughtta change that. </li><li>The Downtime system still isn't quite firing on all cylinders. We keep having the bend our own rules to make it work how we want it to. Maybe should just... permanently bend them?</li></ul>In addition to all that, we also review some of the pitches for Move name punch-ups! You can take a look at the spreadsheet where we documented the suggestions <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hi2ZqxtfSdiv0KfVxZMlLqj3b9eS_fORkGgIihcIv68/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">here</a>.</html>

E

<html>"I'll be your roundabout..."WE'RE BACK, FOR REAL THIS TIME! Full solidarity with Hollywood unions that struck this year, but it was some real awkward timing for this bonus podcast! Well, sure hope we're coming back on a good one and not a set of episodes about a weird old man who drinks his own piss!...Ah nuts.SPOILER WARNING: We discuss an upcoming Stone Ocean character death, because Zoe's already been spoiled on it and she's the only one I care about keeping fresh. We also discuss a character death in Jujutsu Kaisen that's put us off of wanting to return to covering that show in the future! Sorry if you've been hoping for that.GENERAL CONTENT WARNING: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is often a crass series that incorporates a wide variety of fraught subject matter, and prioritizes using that fraught material for high drama and unconventional action scenes over approaching the subjects with appropriate care or consideration. We'll include more specific content warnings when covering especially rough episodes, but as a baseline, assume that most topics are handled with insufficient levels of sensitivity. Also, JJBA is a show that heavily features bloody violence and body horror.</html>
