Esoteric Ebb by @chrisbodegard.bsky.social is the closest thing to a D&D play session with a hilarious, professional, yeah-sure-you-can-do-that DM. Reactive, funny, mysterious and genuinely smart with its worldbuilding. The first truly great Child of Disco.

Esoteric Ebb Review β€” A Modern Classic | Console Creatures Esoteric Ebb is incredible. Saturated in fantastic writing and memorable characters bonding CRPG and TTRPG systems in clever ways.

@esotericebb.bsky.social is my favourite game this year so far. Brilliantly written, hilarious, and with an intriguing central mystery that grabs you and doesn't let go. Blends Disco Elysium and D&D amazingly. @chrisbodegard.bsky.social @rawfury.bsky.social

In my homebrew games I usually run d100 tables with all kinds of One-Rule pockets. That usually makes encounters and dungeons a lot more chaotic/energetic. So I obviously had to add at least one major POCKET RANDOMIZER to the game. Still determined by a 1d100 though, which is fun.

Esoteric Pockets are naturally occurring randomized areas, regions, or 'bubbles' in this case, where rules are changed. It could be as simple as 'gravity-is-inverted', or it could be as weird as 'everything-is-blood-now'. And each play-through will have different pockets to find.

Your exhaustion level is a great indicator of how much you should go to bed. I'm sure this is social commentary on some level, I don't know, I'm too tired to think atm.

The City Below is full of horrors of the typical (and not-so typical) dungeon variety. Delve into caverns, dodge traps, and solve puzzles step by step, then retreat back up for a long rest - all in an effort to locate your missing star witness.

(And to get sweet loot.)

Ambassador IVCX of the Golden Horde. A kind and gentle soul, ready to act as a shining example of intra-Coastal cooperation and modern neo-liberalism. Ignore the eye-of-Sauron energy.

In ESOTERIC EBB, it is very unlikely that you would ever succeed in starting a political debate in the middle of combat with Big Leader Gourgalash

However, it is possible

First color test of 'Old Prison'. It's an ancient snailfolk cistern which was then reworked into a temple after they were driven underground. Today, it's one of many reused pieces of infrastructure sticking around deep underneath the city.

It is also the deepest dungeon in Ebb.
