You know, where everythings kinda dark and grimy and nobody is really sure who the good guys are. Or just weird, atmospheric shit.

Books, films, games. Anything.

Think The Black Company novels

I should probably say no anime, I just cant engage with it for some reason.

I love me some studio ghibli, but anything beyond that and I just dont get it

Fair enough. I'd say "at least give the show a three episode chance" but if you're just generally not into anime at all, that's fine.

Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner for films though theyre pretty widely known so you mightve already seen them

Jacobs Ladder (1990) is a lesser known film that might also scratch that itch.

Planescape: Torment is an older RPG but is fairly heavy with a bizarre setting and characters.

A game that takes place in a parallel dimension, in a parallel solar system, but one where the naming of planets is a little more literal to their respective origins, where the Mars planet is a warring world, where the neptune planet is entirely water...

After several conflicted missions to their nearby moon and the other close planets to explore the probability of intelligent life, and after confirming the existence of intelligent life, a group of humans launches off on a rescue (and if possible, intel gathering) mission.

They will be forever changed. They will face a host of hostile, intelligent life, looking to preserve their own, humanoid but bug-like. This includes anything from silverfish to massive humanoid mantids, from giant wasps to literal Kaiju-sized glowing daddy long legs.

I can only hope it actually happens, but it will take a while, years for sure. I don't know shit about programming and I am not great at design either. The writing is the only thing I feel I can do justice to. I have connections, so maybe someday I'll get lucky and it will happen. Untiol then, it remains just a dream of mine.... one I am actively working on... but still a dream

Step 1.) Watch The Shining
Step 2.) Read The Shining
Step 3.) Read Doctor Sleep
Step 4.) Watch Doctor Sleep

have you seen the Christopher Robin movie? Have you read Doctor Sleep? Have seen Shin Gojira? Have you read Berserk?

Do you like FromSoftware games? Theres still time to catch up on their catalogue of stuff I know you havent played before Elden Ring launches.


The Scarlet Gospels is awesome. Thats its whole own universe magnum opus of Barkers too. Harry DAmour <3

This must be made. It is exquisite genius.

Edit: theres always doing 3D models and turning it into a Tabletop game. Slap at least one pair of boobs on everything and the Kingdom Death crowd would buy it.

Oh I'm not even worried about character art. I feel like I commission that pretty easily. My ideas are pretty flexible. There is one character that I need to be really detailed and I'm gonna be a stubborn prick there no matter who I work with but real like "source material" is abundant enough.

A buddy from other boards has been helping me out tossing ideas back and forth. He is working on something too. Normally I'm stubborn as shit and not really open to criticism but he's been all about the criticism and he's been right every time.

Is Doctor Sleep big enough to contain Ewan McGregors prodigious dangle?

You know what Id like to see? A film thats a 4 hour Zac Snyder style extravaganza. Packed to the gills with slow motion shots.

A 240 minute slap-off.

No. This happens in hell. Pinhead the Hell Priest unleashes a plague which causes peoples body parts to multiply and become hostile. Like a virus. Then he kills the Hell Guards with a bunch of Lemarchand configurations like a one man swat team. Like smoke & flash grenades rolled into the room. He also makes flying beasts out of paper scrawled with dark magic. Its cool. Satan is missing, you see. Hell is all amuck. Pinhead is on a quest to find the Devil..... like a man seeking god.
