So there's a video floating around social media of some behind the scenes footage from the making of the first Mortal Kombat game. I'll link it here if people want to watch the whole thing, but the theme of today's post comes from that first line you hear Ed Boon say. That line led to the creation of an iconic move in a legendary fighting game franchise.
I cannot tell you how many times conversations like that have happened at a game I'm playing in.
So today I'm exploring some ideas joked about around a table and taking them into some form of pseudo-legitimacy.
First on the list is the Rat Storm spell.
I'm playing a 5e game with some friends, and we got ourselves in some old haunted house where the ceiling caved in and rats from in the floorboards above fell down on top of us. Some of us were caught in what I quickly referred to as a rat storm, and at that point I knew it should be a spell. I upped the ante a little by making them extraplanar rats.
Next is a weapon that was brought into existence by the GM of a PFS game I played. It is also an awful cartoon reference from the 80's.
At first I wanted to make a shortsword version of this, but Darksight Dagger just rolls off the tongue far too well.
