Retro RPG Nora
Group A vs Nora styled up like an retro RPG boss battle screen, suggested by RomaSGs205!

Nora’s curse would cause the player to swap genders each turn.
White Dragon used GENDERSWAP! Trace was Gender Swapped! Flora was Gender Swapped! Keith was Gender Swapped! Natani was Gender Swapped! White Dragon ran away! (While cackling, obviously.)
This is adorable and I love it.
This kinda reminds me of undertale
It's based on the Earthbound games, which Undertale is heavily inspired of.
A Twokinds spin off game on Steam would be cool.
I choose the option talk
I would not want to mess with Nora. She is nothing but mischief!
*I wink back.
Talk or Item would be the best options here. Running doesn't make sense, and fighting is impossible.
Does Tom have any version of the characters in the foreground?
Start with talking, if that don´t work. Start running. Fighting would be TPK.
Should’ve highlighted “Run” instead of “Fight”.
OMG I love this so much.
Where I can buy that game?
she is just looking.. menacingly
Fight: probably not meaningfully possible. Talk: likely a bad idea if you're not fond of curses or involuntary transformations. Flee: not liable to work unless Nora wants it to. Item: might be your best bet, depending on what you have that Nora might find... intriguing 😯
Now I want to play Phantasy Star IV again...! (Literally my favourite RPG of all time... I have it on my XBox... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantasy_Star_IV
This is so cool!!!!
Only thing I’d change is to replace “Run” with”RUN!!!” 🤣
After a few rounds against Nora, this change probably happens automatically :D
"I seduce the dragon."
Roll. You can only succeed with a 20. Anything else and she'll hit you with a gender shifting curse.
This is awesome ^.w.^
More like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Option 5 PAT!
Liking the world building integration into RPG stats, cleverly done. Keith rocking that max tank/warrior build. Would seem to imply no Intelligence though!
So cute!! Not sure about "retro" so much. Looks like 2010 or so style, rather than 1990.
…… I don’t trust that wink one bit. lol
What if there was a Two Kinds game?
Awesome
In this case does the dragon roll to seduce you?
Nice 👍
You click "fight" and she just laughs at you and it just skips your turn
If you click 'fight' a bar appears above her. And if you're strong you might actually chip away at it. Your triumph, however, soon turns to dread. For what you fail to realize is this: it is not a health bar. It is a patience bar. https://www.patreon.com/twokinds/posts/dragon-slayers-48657410
Flora is carried hard in this campaign
Or else she's behind in experience.
I’d probably play as Nat since he has the most balanced stats!
In a lot of games when you get to Trace levels of power you can just use magic! So Trace is probably rocking that sweet 50% damage reduction shield for more overpowered antics!
I would play this game so much
needs a flirt command
Oooh that's very nice. I like that Natani's stats are in between the extremes of Trace and Keith lol, fits the hybrid style he has very nicely. Go for it redmage boy
Why is Natani's MP so high and why does Flora have MP at all? I thought Keidran could only use magic with mana crystals.
RPG abstraction of stats/story mechanics. Plus from what I recall Keidran use the crystals as sources the same way humans draw magic from the earth. The MP is more how much they can channel before being tired/burnt out. Natani uses magic a lot, so naturally he'd get a higher MP pool over time. Flora doesn't know magic, if she learned any she might be able to cast one or two simple spells before being taped out. But she CAN learn it.
On my first turn, I would cast the debuff spell Sukunda (reduce Agility) on Nora. After that, I would focus on healing the party’s wounds and ailments.
Even if she likes you F! O! E!
"QUICK! TRACE! USE ANTI-MAGIC BARRIER!" - Flora 😏😏😏
What??? How did... when did...? Tom - you really went all out on this! Holy shit!
"Run" would be the best choice in case of this specific dragon. Though, the effectiveness varies on her mood.
>Talk >Flirt *gets one-shot* [Achievement Get: "Worth It!"]
Her wink causes a massive 9999 HP damage to all four members of the party. This drawing came out great.
... Why am I suddenly thinking of the game "Deepest Sword"?
I choose option 5. Sex.
Ah, yes, Kindbound 2. That's a high-level party for sure, but Talk is your only hope against THAT boss...
Hmm, is there an option for an alternate attack menu in settings? I think the Undertale-style interactions would suit an encounter with Nora much better, except all of them would be crossed out in dragon marker except for Act. Maybe: Flirt, Wink, Wiggle, and Blush
Ok, this is so cool!
so as you can see, Trace is the Player's favourite character, and Keith is the Tank. Flora is the trailer. Probably just kept on the team for looks, or story purposes.
I would say that she is several levels behind the other three in combat experience. If I were designing this game, I would give her abilities that would distract/stagger/debuff enemies.
Run!!
Man I'd LOVE a TwoKinds RPG!
Right? I would play the hell out of that.
I like the MP detail of Trace having the most given his power, with Natani second, Flora third since she could use it if she knew how, and Keith fourth with zero MP since Basitins can’t use magic. And yet being a Basitin, Keith has the highest HP since they’re resilient.
He should still be stronger than the others with his non-magical attacks, though.
I roll to seduce the dragon
I have no doubt someone would make this into a real game.
Flora: "Try anything with Trace, and I swear, I'll kick you in the pixels!" Nora: "I'm an immeasurably ancient, unbelievably powerful Elder Dragon. How is this upstart kitten scaring me?!?"
what does MP mean? and, we need twokinds spinoffs!!! like an animation? 😉😉😉
HP is typically Hit Points so MP is probably Magic Points. Trace as a human has the highest and Keith as a basitin has the lowest.
She could offer to be their Ride!
Love thw game styling, but I kinda resent the 'retro' statement. It just doesn't seem that long ago to me! 😉😉😉😉😊😊😊😊😊🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would put the dividing line at the release of the Wii/DS. Those two consoles changed the interface paradigm from button-pressing to touchscreen/gesture based. Anything before them counts as "classic". But yes, stuff from the 16-bit generation or before would be "retro" by today's standards.
>Flirt
But these are two couples. Nobody could flirt without making someone jealous.
Reminder that every Earthbound game has at least one party member who can't use PSY which are those games's version of magic and of course Keith is that party member in here.
Trace used Charm It's super effective
It would be wise to run. 😂
I wonder how much MP Raine would have considering she has a greater magic potential than Trace?
If leveling up is based on battle experience, Raine is several levels behind Trace, Keith, and Natani. She probably has more MP at any given level, but has less currently than Trace.
I will use character Trace! I cast special skill: Seduction It’s very effective against Dragon Nora!… ? What n why is she on top of him?!
Earthbound!
Of course, Trace has the most MP and I don't think there will be any problem here if he talks with her lol :)
So very adorable!
If Nora uses flirt and transformation magic it’s as good as over! 😂
If a beautiful dragoness like Nora were to flirt with me that would probably defeat me instantly.
>TRACE OBSERVES THE WHITE DRAGON THOROUGHLY. IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! >THE WHITE DRAGON IS FLATTERED. >TRACE IS FLUSTERED. >KEITH AND NATANI ARE CONFUSED. >FLORA IS PISSED. COMMAND?
I love the concept, I think game styled suggestions are really cool 👍
I like how Flora is at least a little magical. If you pretended it was an RPG, would you say Flora’s MP is typical for Keidran? Low? High? And what would be typical for humans? I’m assuming Keith is accurate for most Basitin.
In the main TwoKinds story, it seems that most Humans and Keidran can potentially learn at least basic magic with proper training. Flora's is probably typical for a beginner.
What’s the current update schedule like? Bit confusing to see a new drawing every day but the comic hasn’t been updated for over a month…
I had to take a month off to finish off a different project, but it's going to be back on this coming week.
Earthbound like battle screen
Woah, this is cool! Lore accurate stats, too
Funny how we can't see HER stats... Actually, nevermind, I really don't want to know. XD
I saw her stats. I didn't know that "horny" was something you could stat.
love the fact that keith cant use magic
Just like at least one party member in every Earthbound game, which this is based off.
That blep is adorable
Love the details about Trace having super high MP while Keith has 0
He makes up for it with high HP. And being a bit nore tanky. XD
Like earthbound! Love it!
Trace...flirt now, apologize to Flora later. Party will wipe if you don't!!!
Oh my gosh. This is cool and neat!
beautiful work :D for me, we can have the whole comic in this style from now on :D
cute!
