Heraldry of Anareth

Just putting some basic images of the shields in my fantasy setting here. All images are from drawshield.net.

EarthBound Endings

So, one of the things that happened during the course of the pandemic is that I sat down and seriously played all three games in Shigesato Itoi's MOTHER series: EarthBound Beginnings (aka EarthBound Zero), EarthBound, and the fan translation of Mother 3. And holy heck, are they good.

Because I'm autistic (no literally, I got diagnosed), I can't help but think about what could have happened between EarthBound and Mother 3 for the world to get the way it is. I mean, the latter game gives an overview eventually, but what exactly led to the events that the White Ship was fleeing?

Then a conversation with my old boss brought up an interesting detail: he thinks that the Dr. Andonuts that shows up in Mother 3 is not the same one in EarthBound, but a grown-up Jeff who just happens to look a lot like his father. (Makes sense; people tell me I have my mom's eyes.)

So, my hyperfixation on certain details of the game world led to the following ideas. I might actually use this as the basis for a short campaign, probably run using a relatively low-powered modern ruleset. Obviously, spoilers are ahead for all three games in the series, but I'll try to keep them minimal. My advice: play them in order, and take it especially easy on EBB's shortcomings - it's old!
