Press Start | Fabula Ultima

Join the party of Sean, Jordy, and Lisa as they take on “Press Start,” a tutorial scenario for Fabula Ultima.

Note: The art of Fabula Ultima is stylistically similar to the character portraits from Octopath Traveller and other Square Enix/Acquire JRPGs. “Press Start” and Fabula Ultima are written by Emanuele Galletto and published by Need Games.

Character Creation Jamboree | Sidebar

Sean and Lisa strike back, this time with a slate of character creation delights! We discuss the Path to Castle Wawa, lezzing out in Boston, and being the possum lady. Note: Boston being a particularly sapphic city is a misconception/anachronism on Lisa’s part. It stems from the phrase “Boston Marriage [https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/boston-marriages.htm],” which refers to the 19th century phenomena of two women sharing a close domestic relationship, often between college-educated and financially independent New Englanders. These partnerships could be of a romantic or platonic nature (though there are some darling love poems in the link above).
