Sooo, i've starded playing Pokemon Go (again?) ~one month ago, and there's a quest that requires to add three new friends. Of course I already had all my friends added in game (I do think that's a rather stupid quest, I'd much rather had "have 5 friends on your list", so that one that already had all his friends added would already be ok, but oh well), thus I was thinking where to find other players to add, and while I *could* just turn to Google+, I thought it would be fun to reach out over DA first

So, is anyone around here playing Pokemon Go? If so, I'm Colterback and my code is 5506 5611 6643
(please add a comment here with your in-game name if you add me, I usually don't accept friend requests if I don't know who they are from )

15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
    A few years ago one of the people I was watching had very serious problems in her life (still don't really know what it was exactly, we didn't know each other that well). I made a drawing for her, and she told me it helped her in that situation. That really made me feel good, the thing I enjoy most is being helpful for others, especially cheering them up when they are down

I recently played this RPG, made a drawing of my character and was asked about more information about this game.

The game is set in Japan in 1572, during sengoku period. A village is threathened by a terrible menace, be it bandits, a war, the vengeful spirits of death, whatever. All the men are gone from the village, and only che old, the children and the women remain.
One day, a misterious ronin, Kagematsu, comes to the village. He is the only hope for the village to survive against the menace. Will the women of the village convince the ronin to fight for them and to protect the village? How will they seduce him? What will they do?

The game is quite short, it lasts for 1-2 sessions (about 4-6 hours depending on how fast you are). The rules are very simple, and they are extremely well done.

Worth mentioning about Kagematsu is that the ronin has always to be played by a woman, while male players can only play the women of the village.

What do I like so much about this game is the feeling it gives you, what it makes you feel: you are a woman who has to convince Kagematsu to fight for her. How will you convince him? How will you seduce him? Are you an innocent young girl, or a charming strong woman? What are you willing to do to have Kagematsu's attention and love?


Sorry for my english readers, but it's difficult for me to describe the game better in this language, so i'll continue in italian. Feel free to ask anything you want, though ^^

****************************************************

Come già detto, Kagematsu è un gioco meravigliosamente dolce e romantico, ma anche emozionante, triste, divertente. Come donna, il gioco ti mette in condizione di dover ricevere dei segni di affetto dal ronin (dal semplice sguardo o sorriso, alla parola gentile fino al bacio, la dichiarazione d'amore e infine la promessa di difendere il villaggio). Per farlo bisogna usare la propria innocenza o il proprio fascino (decisi all'inizio per ogni donna), ma non sempre si riesce: magari hai appena fatto qualcosa di carino per Kagematsu, ti sei aperta a lui, ti sei avvicinata, ma lui non vuole darti quella carezza che stai cercando. Ed è ora o mai più, non avrai una seconda possibilità. Ma puoi ancora cercare di corromperlo, o minacciarlo, insultarlo o implorarlo, e questo potrebbe davvero farti ottenere quella carezza. Il punto è: sei disposta a farlo? Quanto vale il tuo onore? Sei disposta a mettere a rischio l'immagine che Kagematsu ha di te, di compromettere il vostro rapporto?
Personalmente questo gioco mi ha riportato ai tempi dell'adolescenza, dei corteggiamenti, dell'incertezza, della timidezza, dell'imbarazzo, dell'innamoramento. è un gioco veramente bello, semplice, veloce ma molto intenso se giocato con passione.

Non scendo ulteriormente nei dettagli, ma se vi interessa, chiedete pure ^^



E mi rivolgo in particolare alla Tora Group: voi volete giocarlo. Credo adorerei un Kagematsu giocato da Shaina o Shinodari. Sarei curioso di vedere una donna giocata da Ledah.


E, più in generale, voglio rivedervi e giocare con voi, mi mancate! <3

Hi all!
