Cool, polls don't matter anymore.
J1M is the official tie-breaker (his feat granted for doing the badge art) and he voted for M:WL.

Looking for someone who will redesign/design Adventurer's Guild badges to be a consistent level of quality and perhaps style in perpetuity for free. The ones we have right now look pretty sloppy, especially when they're right next to each other. Rusty has given me his word that he'll reward you with something special
J1M has claimed the right to serve as the official tiebreakerer in future polls
Even better :D

This is one of the few games I'm aware of that takes place entirely during another game. Technomancer starts prior to the start of this, and ends after it.

@Oyster Sauce, @1998, @J1M & @cdx You can only delay it... Arx Fatalis is inevitable! Image

I like the idea of there being a tie-breaker selecting a single game in the event of a draw. Having two games at once back in October was a bit rough. Image

I've worked out a special deal with GOG and it's now on sale for less than a dollar for the next day and a half
Sounds good. I'll snag a copy of Mars: War Logs from GOG right now. :salute:

People who barely use the Junior Adventurer's Guild get upset when I make changes with the userbase in mind. It's nice that you show up to my bar on Sunday afternoons, but expecting me to make changes that the regulars don't like is unfair.

I assume you're happy when franchises you like are dumbed down and altered to appeal to a wider audience since those are changes to make it more enjoyable for the userbase they have in mind right? :)
Listen I get you don't like woke content but expecting them to make changes that the regulars don't like is unfair. :)

Does anyone else think it's weird that Vergil keeps posting blank white squares at the tops of his posts?

He also posted three times in a row just now... dude needs to settle down...

Nah, it's pretty decent(but janky.) Quite short, can probably finish it in 8 hours or so.

So far it has already surprised me with who the protagonist is, so it is already going well in my book. The combat seems pretty fun also.

Here we go, started game recently. Intro is weird. I like the overall style of the game though usually space settings are not to my liking. Game resembles Mass Effect a bit. So far I like this game.

This is correct, and this month I will honor my vote trade! But I reserve the right to arbitrarily break ties in any whimsical direction in the future.

Any suggestions for the badge? Box art doesn't have a lot to work with.

The circled A seems to be the most distinct part.

As Valter said, the Circled A is the most "distinct" thing about the cover.

We can get the Aurora logo, since the protag is from there. The Technomancer's protag was from Abundance, so we could get their emblem for that badge if we ever get around to playing it.
