Hey there, islands. Happy new year and all that, if that even matters. I mean, the holidays don't seem to matter here but there's a calendar so...?

[There's a pause, and Lance clears his throat.]

Anyways, this isn't about that! Recently I put in a request with the good ol' Storyteller because I was reminded of something from back home and thought, with all the crazy things that happen here, something that's a little more chill and lowkey might be good?

It's this, uh, game? Called Monsters & Mana. It's a little hard to explain and it's super nerdy, but it's pretty fun! You roll dice and pretend to be a character and go on an adventure the Lore Master puts together for you.

I've got a lot of books for it and everything we'd need to play it, but I don't want to just keep it to myself? So if anyone wants to take a look at it or play it just hit me up!

See ya!

Could be something similar in it? It's an Altean game, so I honestly don't know it that well.

[demonpuppy]

Altean? [SUDDEN GASP] Are they aliens? I wanna play one of them!

[thegoofball]

Yeah! Well, they're not from Earth, so that might not make them aliens to everyone? But they're aliens to me. [A pause.] I'm pretty sure you can play as one, though.

I wanna play one! Are they psychic? I bet they're psychic!! Were you on a space ship? What was it like? Do they have lasers?

[thegoofball]

[Aliens!!!]

Nah, they're not psychic - they did have some cool powers like shapeshifting and they're super strong, though. They definitely had laser tech, but that's pretty standard.

And yes, I was on a space ship. It was awesome.

[demonpuppy]

But...but all aliens are psychic...

[how can you betray them like this, Lance]

[thegoofball]

[Oh No.]

Think of it this way - aliens are just like us! So there's definitely some that are psychic, but there's so many different species of them they couldn't all be psychic...

[demonpuppy]

...

[Lance can't see this, but Chip is frowning VERY HARD in thought.]

...I guess. --do they have weird alien magic??

[thegoofball]

[Well good news, Chip, because Alteans have all sorts of weird alien magic.]

Oh, man, yeah. They called it alchemy, but it's basically magic.

[Don't tell Lance that alchemy is just a kind of magic.]

[demonpuppy]

...I thought that's like magic chemistry or whatever, though?

[thegoofball]

Still magic!
