Those both work really well. Power syncs so well I wonder if the animators had it on while working - its exactly the right length.

Ths just reminds me of when nerds got salty over the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer and went on to unironically applauded for this version. I don't think it's entirely just because oh no it's not my bad white 80's metal, I think it's more that nerds are literally too shallow and too dumb to understand how music and visuals go together and just want MY MUSIC alongside MY IMAGES. Videos with fitting music? Uh, excuse me, have you considered playing entirely uncomplimentary music so long as it's the genre I approve of???

I watched the trailer again and lol, the song is absolutely perfect. A cybernetic fashion model murderer is getting shot as the lyrics say "bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky" as the camera pans up to the sky. In the end she is recruited by the police, and one of the refrains of the song is "personal responsibility". How the hell does anyone cry that it isn't synth????

Comrade Gorbash posted:The thing is, even though its a very good song, we also felt maybe it wasn't quite spot on for the trailer, and set out to find some alternate selections. Why not look to Games Workshop themselves? D-Rok, the hottest band signed by Warhammer Records fits quite well. (Man, the original trailer was great. Deathwing Company for life.)

It's not just that, it's having a very limited view of what is appropriate for a genre as well. Cyberpunk can only have synth, Terminators annihilating Genestealers can only have Gothic chants, superheroes can only have orchestral overtures, swordsmen running through dungeons can only have power metal, etc. Lightning Lord fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Feb 15, 2015 |

It could also be that they themselves don't actually know many other genres. I'm reminded of that dude on ENWorld way back who tried to make a witty point about how only the editions they liked were good and tried to compare it to music, only for it to immediately fall apart because they didn't listen to enough music to make an actual comparison.

So what are your guys thoughts on the Eoris Essence RPG ? On 2/10 this was posted on RPG net. quote:We are very sorry to inform that on February the 15th 2015 the remaining books of Eoris Essence will be destroyed. We simply do not have the resources to keep the books in storage anymore and have no alternate choice. The two hardcover books were selling at $30 on Amazon. Since then the following has been posted. (2/14) quote:Dear RPG community, In 2011 Eoris won two Ennies, for interior and cover art. I believe there were 500 books in the warehouse minus what has been sold. Thoughts? Anyone ever played it?

I remember being at the Compleat Strategist in NY years ago when somebody in the store had ordered a copy of Eoris just out of sheer, morbid curiosity. The manager, a few other customers, and I were just gaping at this... thing as we turned the pages, wondering not only why someone would write a furry Final-Fantasy-hack RPG that made Rifts look streamlined, but how this writer managed to get the money to produce a book with production values like this. It's an anomaly of a book, made with the production values of a glossy, 10lb. coffee-table art book. The other funny bit was that the stat adjustments for starting character age went all the way to early childhood, so if you ever dreamed of playing a 6-month old baby, here's the game for you, I guess. One customer theorized that some nerd ended up receiving a big inheritance and used it to fund the dream of taking his house-ruled RPG, because whoever made this thing obviously had money than common sense. Unsurprisingly, Eoris failed, but now the tribalism brought about by Geek Social Fallacy is resurrecting its corpse. "Who cares if it's a bad, unplayable game that nobody played? We should throw more money at this guy to bring it back because he's One of Us!" *sigh*

Wow, Eoris does look amazing. Maybe some level of explaining its existence is tied into its Colombian roots. I mean, from what I gathered from my wife's Colombian friend, you can get almost anything done for a fraction of the USA price there--does that extend to RPG art? Hey, why not?

I spent a few years assuming Eoris was a practical joke, since all anyone I'd ever met had ever seen of it was the character sheet - as far as I could tell, the book didn't exist.

"Furry Final Fantasy?" I don't recall much about Eoris, but I could've sworn it was more dream-logic-y bullshit, like an extremely low-rent Nobilis plus lots of Anima. At least that's the impression I got when (I'm pretty sure) they talked about drawing influence from Winnie the Pooh and the Neverending Story, and playing, like, any character from children's fiction all in one big group. It sounded like a clusterfuck, but so does everything else about the game from top to bottom, including its development history.

Eoris is big on wolves, like super loving big on wolves to the point where the ur-species in the setting is some sort of wolf that can also turn into a not-human but isn't really a werewolf exactly, plus you have like two kinds of playable wolves as well as a bunch of other animal people races in addition to Xagglemorphs and Ylrisians or whatever bullshit fantasy glossolalia the game uses for "elves and humans" is.
