This reminds me, did Zoey quinn ever release that Chuck tingle game they Kickstart Ed?

Sadly, Zoe pulled a George R R Martin and never finished it.

Chuck himself had this to say about it.

$75k to make an fmv game, one of the cheapest types of games to develop (if you know what you're doing).

I see the weeb expansionist title trend has made its way to the normie space. Really needs "...and taken to another world" in there somewhere 😂

Dr Chuck Tingle is no weeb

Yeah, that's not what this is

If you want to elaborate, I'm all ears.

Temporality only works one way buckaroo. You're just going to have to live with it.

And if you attempt to erase your own memory, you will only succeed in opening a portal to the void, from a which a physical manifestation of your own fear and loathing will emerge. This might seem terrifying, but in reality your fear and loathing will be gentle, friendly and intensely attractive, will help you overcome your own self imposed limitations and then will consentually pound you in the butt in a surprisingly wholesome way and with an overall message of love and positivity.

Love is real buckaroos!

Neat. So, it could be a coincidence that all of this started to happen just as the absurdly long titles of Japanese light novels were becoming a meme in the west. But it's dead on for style (if not content lol), and the timing is perfect. Judging by reactions and responses, the "anime bad" types are having none of it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I 100% retract my "normie space" comment though. 😂

My game group is, uh, weird. Anyone actually played the Tingleverse TTRPG can review it for me before ~~I get pounded in the butt by it~~ my table gives it a try?

Circling back to you:

It's reskinned D&D 3.5, very rules light. The stats are Strength, Dexterity, Fortitude (Con), Book Smarts (Int), Street Smarts (Wis) and Charm (Cha). Classes are called "Trots" (because you can trot however you want, and that's OK, buckaroo!) Core classes are Bad Boys (Fighters), Sneaks (Rogues), Charmers (Bards), Wizards (Wizards) and True Buckaroos (Bard / Cleric / Sorcerer / Shit Chuck made up). Core races are Humans, Big Feet, Raptors, Unicorns and Living Motorcycles. The game rules state that "Due to the nature of the Tingleverse, it is not allowed to create a character under 18 years of age." However, the contents of the book are very PG13... It's up to you to decide how explicitly "real" you want to make "love" in your storytelling game. There is some very sparse lore about Billings Montana, the Void, the City of Devils (Los Angeles) and the rest of the Tingleverse. If you didn't know the Tingleverse was a Stephen King parody, you will after reading the rule book. There are no "guns" (they were never invented in this timeline) and it seems to me the game would be fully compatible with any D&D 3.5 equipment list.

Have fun getting pounded in the butt! :D

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm planning to run it next year at a gaming con at Burning Man (yes, that's a thing). My copy has been ordered and should get here within days.
