Between the wierd filming and fairy tale book, I'm intrigued.

Everyone is being enticed to this new settlement: the outpost staff, the players, even the terradome administration, they are all drawn to it for various reasons. Normally all the story would need would be for motivation is that they were ordered to, with someone having a relevant subplot. The fact that litterally all of them have personal reasons to seek it out indicates that there is something reaching out to draw people in. On top of that the scouting tropes already said that the call was coming from the enemy.

2026-01-23 07:39:42 +0000 UTCWas just thinking it would be fun to see Riley and Co thrown into a story where the horror and tropes rely on a cultural knowledge that crew doesn't possess. Something like watching Parasite or Old Boy as an American and knowing it's supposed to be this *kind* of movie, but not fully understanding why. Or not being able to predict the twists and surprises because they are built on a foundation that the watcher is missing. This story seems close to that, what with the dichotomy between the supernatural elements and the more mundane post-apocalypse.

2026-01-23 07:37:55 +0000 UTCNice! I believe the mainstay of post-apocalyptic magic is Ralph Bakshi's Wizards (1977). Terry Brooks' Shannara series is popular, but the post-apocalyptic wasteland has long since been reforested, so it's somewhat indistinguishable from a fantasy world outside of well preserved ruins. Post-apocalyptic magic via system infiltration is popular on Royal Road, but it seems Riley is not litRPG genre savvy :D
