hey everyone, it's your boi, maik.
I'm really glad with your compliments and appreciation. It's been some tough days for me, so they are truly appreciated.
As I don't know if you know, I helped a little bit in editing MiniBX and at that time I said to Lucas: "why are you keeping alignments? they serve no purpose, you yourself present them in the text as a not important whatever" he answered me something on the lines of "that's exactly the point."
MiniBX is not a hack that makes BX just simpler, easier, more straight-lined... it's a blasphemy against BX, a heresie that appreciates BX and Old school playing style, but gives it no sacred status. Fuck it.
For years now I like goblins and orcs, hate the concept of good or evil races, hate the "morality" of pro-monarchy, pro-feudalism and those implicit right wing tropes. But yeah, I get it that people like these tropes. I like using these tropes too. But lets use them while making things a little bit more complicated and subversive. This is just a very small example.
All that to say: I really like MiniBX, it's a great minimalist rpg that deserves all the praise and support.
(I wish I had written this devlog before the MiniBX 50% sale ended, sorry folks)
And thanks to y'all that like my little "games". Let's burn the world of order and the races of good.
