Why have tanks when you can have tank-girls?
I bet Syvarris and the other tinker addicts would love that game. It's all about that Armour Penetration and Huge Penetrating Shells. :P

What?  It doesn't feed Tinker addiction unless you can mix'n'match cannons and fuel tanks and armor plating and everything.  From the two minutes I watched, I doubt that game has any such thing.

...Still, the primary reason I won't play it is because it costs 20$, and two more google searches didn't find a free download.

That is the stupidest looking tank I have ever seen. Hell they didn't even armour the treads meaning a single well placed charge renders it immobile and a giant nuclear powered artillery target.

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Also probably incredibly prone to roll over.






As per the state of the world; I'll tell you what your character would know.

1. Oro, according to current knowledge and myth, is the result of untold atrocities. The land that would become the heart of Oro was so steeped in blood, death and madness that it attained a twisted half-life of its own. The desires and fears which split that blood and bred that madness still drive it, even now. The gallows stood and sought out new men to hang.

2. In the past, just long enough gone that the very last living members of the generation that witnessed it have all finally died, mankind nearly destroyed itself. The exact reasons and methods for this are extremely hotly debated, and you'll get very different interpretations depending on who you ask, even within the same civilization. The Church's position is that the sin of the old world lead to the creation of unholy things which turned against their creators. They are annoyingly vague about what this means.

3. The tech available is an odd mix of artifacts from the past, oddities from the present, and divine objects created by the church. The old lead slingers of the past are effective on the stalking horrors from the north and the unsouled men that harvest the man-fields to the east, but against the demons of Oro, they are no more effective than thrown stones. The weapons of the church, those blessed and faithful in design, are the only ones that deal respectable damage.

There are 7 billion minds on earth consuming similar circumstances and media. I've come to terms with the fact that nothing I ever do will not have some at least partial analog elsewhere.

Does the part about only holy weapons being effective on the demons mean we are non-firearm, or are there holy guns? Basically, are we talking holy bolt action rifles, or are we talking holy crossbows?

Holy handgrenades, obviously. It was proven by Monty Python documentary group that those have existed since middle ages.

So... guns don't work well... does that mean I can have, say, fifteen pistols strapped to my body very cheaply? What with them being a low level weapon?

The teamkilling opportunities... please say yes, please say yes...

Could you give details on this 'religion' or church you refer to? Is it some Abrahamitic offshoot, a pantheon, something vaguely 'spiritual' without going the full monty on specifying god(s) and religious practices?

Are there any rules restricting what can be blessed? Or can we just start running into battle, flailing the giant floppy dildos that we've consecrated?
