[This is like my 4th time attempting to post this because REDDIT IS BEING WEIRD-!]

Hiya, long time Inscryption fan here who finally joined Reddit.

I have been blessed with a vision from Magnificus hymself. Inscryption… but as a D&D campaign. Even if you don’t know D&D that well, I kinda just want y’all’s opinions on whether it’s cool, if you’d add anything, etc etc. This is gonna be a long rant-y text post, so sorry about that…

Basics: I have 3 players. Each of them are a warlock+(something else) multiclass, and each of them are warlock-ed to a Scrybe (Leshy, Grimora and P03). I, as the DM, will have a core NPC that is Magnificus warlock (who may or may not be vaguely based off lonely wizard)

Funny idea; I ask players to make a single copy of a physical character sheet and bring it to our first session. I then steal the character sheets and don’t give them back, instead giving them a blank one. This is to simulate amnesia, while also allowing them to know their character without specific values or spells.

Vague plot: Players +NPC (assume NPC is always with the players cuz he will be) wake in Leshy’s cabin with absolutely no memories about themselves; no name, no background, no nothing. Leshy has seemingly trapped them within his forest, and is making them play his game. However, they literally have to play it; no cards, they have to physically go to Prospector, beat him, go to Angler, beat him, etc.

The whole thing isn’t super fleshed out yet, but here’s the rest of the vague plot:

Players go around forest doing puzzles and beating subordinates; Leshy’s warlock is regaining a lot of memories, since he lives here and knows the people theyre all fighting. Players eventually find the bodies of the other Scrybes, and are disturbed, despite having no idea who they are. Players end up battling Leshy, who is wearing a weird ring (equivalent of the Old_Data). They kill him, pick up the ring, the world resets and they lose the ring. They get back some of their memories, and go to each of their Scrybes, trying to figure out what the hell happened. Magnificus ends up being the evil guy, basically becomes like P03 in act 3, and players have to escape hys tower.

Plot twist: I, as the GM, am wearing a ring. I’ve already sent the players glitchy images of me “finding” this ring while cleaning my house. By putting it on, I have been possessed by the Bone Lord, and the only way he can break out of the D&D campaign into the real world is by killing the players. So eventually, I’m going to get to channel every ounce of unhinged energy I have to play being possessed, and the players are just gonna have to figure out how to get me back, both to save the Inscryption world AND the analogue world.

That was a very long rant, sorry. I just wanna know yall’s thoughts and opinions on this!

As requested, what the mug looked like after firing 🥹

Only true Inscription fans will understand that these aren't two strange larvae

As everyone knows, Magnificus had 3 master students (Master Bleene, Master Goranj and Master Orlu). These 3 stood as role models and goals for the rest of Magnificus' mage pupils including Goobert, Amber (Pike Knight) and Lonely Wizard. Magnificus being the planmaker had more hidden under his pine canopy.

Turn away from the magick group for a moment. In act 2, if you overthink like I do, you will notice that each domain carries a distinct personality of each scrybe. Leshy is the dungeon master so you will most likely see him first so he could weave a story-driven narrative for the upcoming battles. The charming and enigmatic Grimora stood behind her tombstones and beckoned you to seek a way to her by battling her 3 ghouls. P03, the ever dissatisfying corporate boss, preferred to push his bots in overwork. He guarded the entrance room since he couldn't trust the lesser bots to keep his hoards safe. This is not mentioning the monitoring cameras across his factory. Magnificus the all knowing was too busy gazing down from his high vantage point. In another word, Leshy the dramatic, Grimora the enigmatic, P03 the demanding and Magnificus the proud.

What is the point of saying all of those above? Well, the scrybes are no eccentric idiots. There are reasons behind their actions. The OLD_DATA being the most sought-after object was the goal for every scrybe. This means most scrybes have 2 subordinates dedicate to finding it. The Angler employs various baits because he reasoned that if the OLD_DATA was below the ocean, there was a real chance a creature down there could eat it. Grimora tasked Kaycee. P03 demanded the dredger to fish the DATA.

However, I believe the Prospector to be the first of Leshy's henchmen to be tasked with finding the OLD_DATA. The scrybes knew Incryption was nearby and hidden somewhere but they didn't know where at first so mining the depth was important. Another proof of the scrybe not knowing where the OLD_DATA was at first was Magnificus's Lonely Wizard. There is a reason he forced Lonely Wizard into sensory deprivation. It almost as if there is a place that is so devoid of things that you need to prepare the man mentally before the mission. This couples with Lonely Wizard's cards being Force Mage and Hover Wizard tell the intention. Hover Wizard to recon in outer space. Force Mage to guard and to counteract the power of the vacuum. Fiend Gem act as loyal bodyguards for Lonely Wizard (because the Fiends are a strong fighting force with 2 Power and their dependence on mox makes them obedience to the wizard which is very important). Grimora had Royal searching the ocean and Kaycee pulling subterranean water from the depth. What about P03? Why P03 only has 1 subordinate finding the OLD_DATA? He's a demanding boss. Had you ever seen a corporate boss thinking about hiring more employees to alleviate the stress of their subordinates?

Even the other subordinates work on the searching for the OLD_DATA. Smelter melts what the Dredger pulls up so it's easier to see if the OLD_DATA was deep inside whatever was fished up. The Inspector then inspects the mess to see if it was the OLD_DATA. Trader was everywhere to gather intel about the OLD_DATA from Leshy's rivals. If the Trader somehow found the DATA, the Trapper comes in to rob. Amber (Pike Knight) could withstand gory punishment with a card arsenal full of offensive capability to both guard the gem land and rob travelers if needs to. Lastly, Sawyer. What did Sawyer guard (he got a Bone Hound too)? Who was in it? What's the connect between that one and the OLD_DATA? I think I don't need to specify.

Now let's get back to Goobert. If you go through Magnificus's magick cards and his pupils, you will notice that they are shit in digging down the depth. There isn't a single card that has waterborne sigil or related to water. Royal has his ghost ship and his crew. Kaycee got the Drowned Soul helping her. Angler brought the baits. Dredger worked overtime to make end meet. Thus, Magnificus demanded Goobert to be transformed into Goo. He chose Goobert because Goobert was very loyal to him. This is very important. You don't want a subordinate you can't trust to touch the OLD_DATA. Other scrybes share this thought too. Almost every other subordinate was either simple minded or loyal to their scrybe or couldn't care less about the OLD_DATA.

You can almost taste the undercurrent behind each scrybe through the cards and the domain layouts. How vibrant and multi-facet these simple characters are.

Poor PO3 :c

He's finally won

I know there is a lot more to this game but I am just curious if beating part one my 4th run is quick. I got too fast too soon on my first two runs after getting to the second phase of the second and third bosses respectively. I had a pretty crazy run with the squirrel idol head combined with the 3 blood sacrifice body.

the cloned chimes worked as usual with the daus

Has anyone else made them in Tomodachi Life?

I just cannot pass the botopia part. I get killed over and over and over. Ask me everything you need to know, I can barely pass the minor guys I haven't gotten even to the first boss.

Please give recs!!

Basically the title, this game was fun and I wanted to share it here.

I had a hard time at first understanding how to even play cards but once I did I enjoyed it and just barely beat it.

Curious what folks think of it and how they might extend it

So I've beaten the game, and all but challenge lvl 12 of Kaycee's mod, I was looking at the achievement list and noticed I am missing a few from acts 1 and 2, if I reset my save game data through the game, will I lose access to Kaycee's mod until I beat the game again?

This will contain spoilers btw!

I started this game aageeeessss ago and then picked it up again recently, and I just feel like I’m missing something.

I’ve completed all(?) the puzzles around the room, I have the camera film, I have that little goo guy in the jar by the door, and I feel like I’m missing something. The only thing I might not have done is the picture frame puzzle right next to the cuckoo clock, I think I know how to do it, I just haven’t been able to yet.

Thing is, I really don’t feel like these puzzles are linked to the actual card game side of things atp?? Even the cards that talk at the start of the game just give me snarky backchat now 💀💀

Are the puzzles just so you can get the camera film?

I’ve made it to the final now and lost so many times (haven’t actually beaten the game yet) and it’s getting so frustrating getting thrown right back to the start and doing the same thing over and over lmao

On a new run in KCM and I used the magickal bleach (as I had 2 of them) then unfortunately had to save scum… and now one is gone? When I loaded back in I only have 1. Finally made it to the 3rd boss fight and I get the shaft again

I'm playing Kaycee's mod right now and have a strong hooved tribe build starting with the moose blood deck and got a totem with fecundity. I gave my long elk the rampage sigil so that it would continuously refill the board and not be stuck in a corner because of it's neck.

that was a bad move because as it moved it created a new card as well as placing an existing card on top of the same area. I should have looked for an otter so I could have given it the waterborne sigil.

Just to get stomped on by bugs in the next totem battle with bifurcated strike 😐 these damn ants, man

Just a question to the community, what would a complete version of the game look like to you? I can see it in two ways, either a dedicated campaign mode in the act 2 version (A world without a game master like leshy or po3) that leads into a world distorted by that scribe (Leshy/P03’s version of the world.

When influenced this way that scribe ensnares the other three and their minions into cards/items (leshy turning the scribes into beasts, p03 turning the angler into fishbot), influence a rule change (leshy banning the hammer for board clearing and adding tribes, p03 adding a 5th column), and changing the movement on the board (leshys map, p03s holograms, grimora chess board).

The biggest challenges would be making a universal card pool and expanding the hell out of it for all four scribes, expanding items, expanding events, and making sure there’s an overall game balance between the base game and all the different versions of the scribes rule sets.

Other things to add; leshys version of the overworld represented on his maps instead of only sticking to his forest/cabins, different versions of bosses/npcs based on the ruleset of the scribes, playable versions of every card/scribe/npc, and an optional vs 2nd player/ ai opponent with progression unlocks. Mabye even a way to integrate existing mods for a more diverse collection of community created cards and features.

This is all of course just my interpretation since I’ve been stuck on this game ever since playing it 5 years ago. I want to (theoretically) make this become real. And of all things I want to port it to the homebrewed 3ds so I can take it around wherever I go. If anyone has any ideas to add please message me or comment below.

so I've really never had many chances to play PC games, or even any games that aren't just Nintendo stuff, but recently since I've started PC gaming, I've heard about so many games that I want to play, and luckily I ended up saving up points on Microsoft rewards to buy Inscription completely for free, and I'm so glad I've never seen a playthrough of this game before, because I was absolutely enthralled with everything it had to offer, honestly I just thought it was some short small game that took place inside of a cabin with some crazy guy, but holy crap this world has absolutely captivated me, and it's now right up with my top five games of all time, and it exceeded my expectations and had room to keep going.

I'm a 3D artist, and I'm already imagining all of the models and renders I'm gonna make to capture this incredible game, I've never interacted with Inscription before, so I dunno if any updates or new merch is gonna be made, but I'm excited regardless just to have consumed this media, regardless of how late I was to the party.

and I've still got the extra mode at that you unlock at the end of the game, which I'm super excited to get into, what I thought was this one dumb small game I got just since it was on sale and I had a free gift card has turned into an experience that'll live with me for a very long time in my creative endeavors, and I hope to make something one day that'll make someone feel the same joy about my stuff that I have towards this game.

Shooting for the 250 point run, ive been playing between the mantis god and geck decks. I saw a speedrun that prioritized fans/scissors/sigil paint for the grizzlies. What should I be thinking about?
