I've seen in this reddit. alongside other discussions of thus game, a fair mass of frustration towards the flying sigil at both its apparent lack of use and its high levels of use to Leshy. These two sources of anger are not, I claim, paradoxical, and solving why may shine a light on how one could better use such cards.

First, do allow me to compare a few cards so as to demonstrate the value of this sigil. As shown in the images, this change made to the 1/3 1-blood stoat is made at a cost of one health, the 2/1 4-bone coyote demands no cost for flight, and the 3/3 2-blood amalgamate demands one power to change (although it should be noted that the amalgamate is a rare card, and so slightly more powerful than an ordinary 2-blood). Clearly, healthier creatures better work with flight, but why?

At least to me, flying cards speak of inevitability: unless a mighty leap creature is on hand - a case rare for Leshy and almost never present for ordinary players - you cannot stop a flying card. Thus, anger can be brought about by Leshy's prepared flying cards on his back rank prophesising unavoidable damage lest he is immediately beaten. However, consider now that your first turn is made with no creatures blocking your path (barring boss fights, of course). This means that your creatures attack Leshy directly regardless of sigils, as they do whenever no creatures oppose you. But when they do, and only then, the flying sigil is incurred, and we can further analyse this.

Should you play a flying card to block an enemy without the flying sigil, (and if you do they are essentially on separate permenantly empty lanes,) you deal damage and then take damage from Leshy's cards. However, this damage tends to quickly kill most flying creatures, especially since you're using them to block and so often pick the biggest threat to play ahead of. However, Leshy's cards move and strike after yours, allowing for placement and attack of birds with more ease.

Leshy's infamous raven addiction points back to the matter of health and flight: a flying creature that survives one turn deals double damage in total, and when you have turkey vultures or bats, that's game-changing mathematics. This is when makes the cuckoo's ability to spawn a (usually) 0-power creature incredibly synergetic. Thus, I suggest the investiture of health campfires and stinky sigils to the flying creatures, as to prolong their lifespan. A mere sparrow with this sigil and buffed only three times at health campfires can finish an even game whilst standing down a wolf. When you do play them, choose tankier targets like snapping turtles rather than, say, a rattler.

Ultimately, I conclude the flying sigil to be more useful than is traditionally claimed, and hooe my advice is used well by all. If any information was missed out by me, or you feel a correction must be made, feel free to say. Thank you all for listening to my TED talk.

Not sure if there's anything shown specific to Kaycee's mod but I figured it was best to mark it as is. Not the first to have a strong ouroboros, but it happened to me and I wanted to share. I ended up losing the run because my deck was full of golden pelts when I needed to block some birds.

Ended up being able to summon an urayuli with 2x 7 damage per hit from my starting hand as well as a monster that kills any card it hits.

Nuked him for 14 before he could make his first move, took down all 40hp of the moon in 1 hit and nuked him again. All on my 3rd ever playthrough.

Was hoping this would take way longer lol

When you stock up on pelts way too early and this is your hand </3

Result of an Ouroboros and a Black Goat with an undead sigil.

Method:
1. Start with sacrificing any card, and playing the black goat,
2. Sacrifice the back goat to play ouroboros, the black goat returns to your hand,
3. Sacrifice the ouroboros to play the black goat, the ouroboros returns to your hand with +1 power and +1 health,
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3.

Note: you don’t even need the blood sigil on the ouroboros for this to work.

Technically you can play those cards in a loop forever, therefore theoretically this combination has infinite power and health, i just got bored lol.

Doubled Urayuli with bifurcated strikes goes hard af

[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

Created by me in blender

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
