Back in mid-2015, I was in this game with one GM and one other player. The system was Strike!, a 4e-adjacent, grid-based tactical combat RPG, still in playtest at the time.

The setting was simple enough: big and heavily industrialized fantasy world, but telecommunications arcanotechnology was rare and expensive. Two empires dominated the planet. One was generic western fantasy, except that its royals and greater nobility had the ears and tails of dogs. The other was East Asian fantasy, and its royals and greater nobility had the ears and tails of foxes. (Fire Emblem: Fates had just come out, and the idea was popular. Also, the similarities between dogs and foxes were intentional.)

My character was the crown prince of the western empire (except that he was secretly a living-painting replacement for the real, deceased crown prince). The other player's character was the crown princess of the eastern empire. We each had a maid-cum-bodyguard secondary PC.

Before the campaign started, the GM offered two choices of starting adventure. One was fey-themed. The other was eldritch-horror-themed. The other player and I explicitly picked the former, and told the GM as much.

At the start of the game, the GM presented us with two plot hooks. First, some western duchess had mysteriously vanished. Second, there were strange reports of "blood gods" in some eastern city. The latter sounded more intriguing, so we pursued it.

(Continued.)

We spent a few sessions investigating and fighting cultists and assassins, but no actual monsters. We learned vague bits of information concerning these "blood gods." Since my character was constantly in touch with his spymaster, the GM asked me whether my character kept the spy network on a need-to-know basis vis-à-vis the "blood god" investigation, or kept the network abreast of any relevant information. I chose the latter, figuring that a free flow of intel would be best.

At some seemingly random point in the middle of a session, the GM informed the other player and I that all of reality had been abruptly destroyed, and that there was nothing our PCs could do about it. Allegedly, these "blood gods" were eldritch horrors that were trying to demolish all of the cosmos, and slowly amassed the power to do so by having people curiously investigate them. The more people focused on investigating reports of "blood gods," the stronger these entities grew, until they finally reached critical mass and obliterate all of existence. If only my character had kept the spy network on a need-to-know basis, this could have been avoided.

There was neither a buildup to this nor a series of omens. For all I knew, the GM had simply grown tired of the game and concocted an excuse to shut it down.

According to the GM, when the two plot hooks were presented in-game, the duchess's disappearance was the fey-themed adventure, while the "blood gods" were eldritch horror. The GM thought that "blood gods" was obviously Lovecraftian-sounding, and thought that we changed our preference on which plot hook to initially pursue.

I GMed a few more games for that GM in the following years, but we quickly drifted apart. Meanwhile, I still play with and GM for that other player even to this day.

Wtf does this mean? Is this like a maid/bodyguard that you fill with cum whenever you have downtime?

>>96002273
It means the bodyguard was a cum-elemental, clearly.

Learn something new everyday. I like >>96002300's interpretation better, though.

Intel network fell and everyone died

Sakuya Izayoi... forgotten...

touhou's place in various online cultures has been mostly replaced by gacha games. And fundamentally they served similar purposes - a set of fairly basic characters with fancy designs, advertising personality via clothes and a few lines of dialog, that you would probably like at least one of if you're the kind who likes anime waifus.
You can see it in action by the number of doujins at various comic markets in japan, by series, and you can also see this in action in this very thread's OP, the infamous touhoufag, going from 2hu waifu pics to gacha waifu pics.

>>96009111
But does Sakuya Izayoi regularly get filled with cum by her Master? This is important.

You can't convince me that Corrin, male or female, never laid a hand on Felicia.
