Fuck that noise.
Fungalian: A street poet who deals fungus both legal and illegal, whose drugs can bolster her comrades and can send her into a battle frenzy.
Where does the legal dealing end and the illegal start? And why are you risking your legal business by doing both?
Lordling: It ain’t easy being a rich bastard. Well, maybe it is easy. The Lordling is slumming with the revolutionists, and it turns out privilege can still get you embarrassingly far in this world. The Lordling has all the right gear, can get out of jail with a favor from their father, and can solve an awful lot of problems by throwing silver around.
Ah, the Ally class
Differences From Some TTRPGs wrote:
Reputation matters, money doesn’t: The complex economy of Penumbra City doesn’t run on money, it runs on trust. Rather than track gold or dollars, players track their character’s various reputations with the three coalitions.
Simplified and class-based: There are no skills to track and no spell books. Each character has set abilities that come with their character class.
Dangerous: Healing is hard to come by in Penumbra City, and it’s easy to find your character maimed or even killed if you aren’t careful.
Players roll, not the GM: In combat, players roll their attacks and they roll to defend themselves from the enemy’s attacks.
Armor works like temporary hit points: A character tracks their hit points, or HP, but they also track their armor points, or AP. AP is recovered after each combat. HP recovers much slower.
Reputation as currency is just Eclipse Phase, which takes place in a transhumanist, post-scarcity dystopia. And how is that Lordling supposed to work? His entire deal is being filthy rich.
Welcome to apocalypseshit playbooks
High lethality is actually fairly common outside of D&D and capeshit RPGs
Players doing all the rolls is a moderately common optional rule in a number of RPGs
Armor as temporary hit points is just Palladium/Rifts.
And I'm more interested in the upcoming trilogy about trans witches.
>Only girls can be witches, but I'm a boy
*groan*
That's like the most basic-bitch tortured scenario for queer storytelling out there. Fucking stale and lame.
(Also 10bux that the evil duchess is a TERF, while all the "good" witches will actually be okay with a troon witch. Character morality in troon literature is so predictable. Because heaven forbid we have a good person with wrong opinions, or vice versa.)
Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.

That's the beauty of this tortured scenario: There is no sane solution.
Only girls can be spellcasters, but apparently nothing ever stopped penis-havers from learning how to cast spells aside from society. It's an allegory for how much of a construct gender is, you know?
(Also the troon author gets triggered by words like "witch" implying "girls only", much like "women's changing room".)
