Each new joke was another chuckle. My only critique is Screw Missing! since you just use it after the very first turn and it negates the gimmick on Oggl's signature, and that's pretty much all it affects since his only other ability with a power roll is Magic Missile. So much for good, old-fashioned luck of the dice! License to Revise is also kind of anti-fun (in a less fun way than the other anti-fun stuff here, which is a weird sentence to say), but it's a hefty Malice and action cost so it probably won't be that bad. Very fun though overall. Vancian Malice was my favorite line; just trying to parse that out made me laugh.

Thanks, I was keen on not having it suck to badly to run, but in hindsight’s I would either have villain action 1 OR raised damage in Ray of Frost, since they both counterbalance the T1 miss.

It was really fun to read through this entry, as one of my ideas for the Jam was a similarly tongue-in-cheek way to look back and incorporate ‘miss’ mechanics, Vancian attrition, and the like.  That said, I think you did it far better than the version in my head, if nothing else by limiting it to a specific encounter, rather than as a persistent player option.

Nice job!

Thank you, that’s a lovely compliment!

Accursed, Humanoid

Didn't think a creature's keywords would ever get me to snort, but I've been had. Similarly to the others, I've got no critical notes. Excellent work in making a parody encounter of another system that still feels very Draw Steel.

Thanks, it’s a bit self indulgent but I get a good laugh every time someone spots something new!

There's no change I'll be skipping this.  This dude will be showing up in my games in the future for sure.

Cheers Joe!

Frankly, hilarious. I'm a big fan of the Vancian Malice, both in design and in name. Seems like this would be a lot of fun as a drop-in encounter.

Thank you!

This submissions tongue could not be any further in its cheek if it tried.

A very funnily presented monster, with good design that can be rehashed into other concepts, monsters, or malices.

Thank you kindly!

Wow Sam. This is fantastic. My only feedback is ray of frost and fireball I think are overtuned on damage. Aside form that, this is hilarious, yet well designed. Very creative.

Thanks Daniel! If memory serves, they absolutely are,  it was to make up for the miss factor and I couldn’t resist Fireball having the average on 8d6!

You could just increase the level to get to those DPS numbers. I might use this and just do that lol.
