MAX MCGEE'S PROFILE
I CAN'T NOT MAKE GAMES.
I have enough lockerspace to hold an episode of Friends.
"We'll make a toast to absent friends and better days,
To remembering and being remembered as brave
And not as a bunch of whining jerks!
Don't lose your nerve.
Do not go straight
You must testify
(or I'm going to come to your house and punch you in the mouth)
cause CLOWNS MUST STAND."
- TW/IFS, "All The World Is A Stage Dive"

Iron Gaia
As the only human awake on board a space station controlled by an insane AI with delusions of deification, you must unravel the mystery of your own identity and discover: "What is the Iron Gaia?"

[PENCIL & GODDAMN PAPER] The Other Kind Of RPG: The Dawnline
Wow, that's nice of you to do, Kentona.
Anyway, yeah, that's how Kickstarters go. It's weird. You get about 50% of your funding at the very beginning and another 40% chunk at the very end and that last 10% during the three weeks of panicked refreshing in between. It's why websites like kicktrack or whatever it's called are junk. They just extrapolate from your first few days and assume your funding will proceed steadily at that rate. Like if that algorithm bore any resemblance to reality, half of Kickstarter creators would be millionaires by now.

[PENCIL & GODDAMN PAPER] The Other Kind Of RPG: The Dawnline
There is another kind of RPG that is not digital but analogue. Without this ancient form of RPG we would not have RPGs as Square-Enix and kentona make them today. There are a lot of these old "books with games inside". And I mean a lot. Most of you guys could probably name D&D, Pathfinder (which is essentially D&D), maybe Shadowrun (that's the one I worked for), Vampire, maybe some of the Warhammer ones...but there are hundreds. Thousands, probably. And the vast majority of them are dead and unsupported.
I should know. I ran a tabletop RPG publishing company for over five years. 95% of the tabletop games you see on Kickstarter are CRAP just like 95% of everything is crap.
It is also made by amazingly prolific reviewer and tester/human game guinea pig/general betterer of RMN kumada who some of you might know. (I think that might be his voice on the video, not sure, but I'm almost positive he wrote what's being said.)
More importantly, it's been pitched to me as Vampire Hunter D meets The Oregon Trail meets The Way. I have only two words for that premise:
DO WANT!
You should check it out on Kickstarter and learn more.
Now I've gotta say goodbye for a little while.

P.S. The reCaptcha challenge is more of a game than probably 10% of the games on this site lol. I played it three times while making this post.

I lied.
author=Blind
Well somebody gets it. I adore you Blindmind. I can almost play "A Favor House Atlantic" on the geetar . Well, I'm getting there. The rhythm part at least (hardest part is the intro by far), Claudio's leads and fills are yeah, the opposite of easy.
"hello darkness my old friend"
hello Darken, my old friend!
Actually used this quote in my first novel which is getting published (in the context of it being a remembered Simon & Garfunkle lyric obviously).
author=ESBY
is this some QAnon shit
No lol. I didn't even know what that was until I goog'd it. My initial response was 'I wish' because wingnut conspiracy theories are p cool but then I realized it was something Trumpers like and ewwwww. Ew. I refuse to like anything Trumpers like. In the case of the Time Fantasy gfx I don't have a choice, lol, but Jason Evincar "Final Boss Blues" Despain Perry will always be a friend to me, not a MAGA hat. BOY DO I DIGRESS.
I was just being enigmatic for funzies.
What this is is an incredibly excessively unnecessarily cryptic announcement of a game definitely (barring my actual literal death) coming out at some completely undefined point in the distant future. The first lyrics, the small ones, were just a playful reference to my abrupt departure from the Church of Aremen. Anyone who does not have an active burning hatred for the Iron Gaia "Franchise" should probably be stoked about this game and actual Iron Gaia fans should be totally fucking pumped for it. What exactly it is...I will not reveal at this time. But proof of concept builds are going out to a select group of alpha testers very soon.
Mage Duel Extreme
Thanks to those of you who thought this was amazing, awesome, and so on. It warms the cockles of my black black heart. I understand--wholeheartedly--your desire to see old bearded men in full wizard regalia suplex each other for arcane dominance. I really, really do. But you will have to scratch that itch somewhere else.

Yes, Max, it's better.
Spoilers: Morigoth the White is the real bad guy all along. I bet no one would ever have seen that coming. To clarify, since I'm typing spoilers anyway: by no means is Lord Thanatos a good guy. However, their pawns, Garinol for Morigoth and Garret for Thanatos, are both relatively reasonable, honorable people that somehow would have managed to find common ground. Morigoth The White and the Necromancer Lord Thanatos are both assholes, just the former is a little bit smarter, not to mention a massive hypocrite, too. The game's second to final boss fight would have been against a dragon that was also a vampire. That would have been cool.

Everything Turns Gray
The most recent post on the page is from bicfarmer in June, so it seems fitting to respond to that as I admit to myself this project is cancelled.
Nothing in this game is entirely luck dependent (probabilistic), nor is anything entirely deterministic. The game uses a combination of probabilistic and deterministic features familiar to most cRPG and tabletop gamers: rolling dice and modulating the result based on your character's abilities.
It was never anywhere near as inspired by Fallout as you assume. Anyway, Everything Turns Gray has failed to survive in the unforgiving wasteland of RMN. Like so many of you, it has perished out in the wastes.

I know it's supposed to convey the sense of surviving in an unforgiving wasteland like in fallout but truth be told, fallout never really conveyed that feeling at all.

Backstage II
I'm sorry guys. I am really and genuinely sorry.

What are you thinking about right now?
Guys, starting 27 minutes ago, the following 30 days will determine if my very dreams are literally worthless or in fact the exact opposite in a transgressively quantitative way.
Maybe some of you know the feeling. Either way, I'd love any help you can spare.
These dreams started somewhere not too far from here, about 15 years ago. I think this is probably my last post for a while, so I wanted it melodramatic as fuck.
