Whenever I read ttrpgs, I have a song in my head. I mean, there is music playing in my head 24/7, but that's another story. So, writing RISE, this song always snuck into my brain-radio. What songs do you feel fit with RISE? What songs inspire you for your RISE game? Let us know!

The issue is there is no one genre of music that fits! For the Grimdark Roman cohort setting I am (hopefully) making for the Rise Jam I offer :  Tortuga - Deities (Full Album 2020) - YouTube

Developer

wow! I'm listening to this right now and I'm intrigued with what you'll create with it!

Also, I love the idea of a Roman game! Can't wait!

Not a direct inspiration, but when I started reading it, Kaleidoscope World started to play. A fun throwback paired with a great read!

Wait, I heard this song before. Can't remember where though. Thanks for sharing!

It's a popular song in the Philippines. If you have been to the Philippines, chances are you heard it somewhere playing.

Sepultura is amazing! I can only imagine what type of RISE game this inspires and I'm here for it!

I read RISE a few days ago and I think Evangelion would fit. not sure how I would do this. but, like focus on the pilots? fight against an angel in act3?

Developer

Believe it or not, but I thought about an NGE RISE game myself. For me, RISE is about getting to know the character, coming of age really. NGE fits perfectly to that, especially focusing on the pilots! But I feel there should be something on top of RISE to emphasize on the relationship between the pilots and the Eva's. In Rise of the Apes we included the Strength tracker as additional mechanic and I could see something similar with that as well. But now we are getting into game design discussion, and that really should happen in the Design Question thread 馃ぃ. Feel free to ask us questions there. The more specific the better, so the community or we can give you good answers. Or open up a new thread.

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm revisiting the idea of a NGE or Darling in the Franxx inspired game and this song

just keeps playing in my head:

After reading Rise of the Runner, I'm just looking forward what you would do with either of these! Also, great song!

Writing the 2nd Edition of RISE I had to claw myself out of a burnout I put myself in 7 months ago. Maybe it was fate that I stumbled over Voice of Baceprot, but this song kept playing in my head while I was working on the 4 additional mechanics.
