GrimLewd general vibes poll
🕑 Added 2023-07-11 14:23:00 +0000 UTCOver the last couple of weeks I really, really enjoyed working on GrimLewd. The illustrations, polls and lore posts are fun to do. And I have a lot of ideas for a lot of different characters, stories, locations and lore bits. A lot.
A lot a lot. To be fair I have so many that I am getting a little bit of a decision paralysis. Do I draw monsters? Regular people? Crazy corrupt high level weirdos? Verakost? The Spill? More living fortress stuff?!?
Ultimately I'll do whatever I feel like doing BUT I do want to see what you guys are most interested in. This poll is by no means binding. I just want to see what's the general vibes out there.
And if you have any specific stuff you'd like to see, let me know in the comments.

I thought multi choice was enable.

You might as well be making the Next GOT for HBO. I like the ideas.
Tobias Apples
I'm here for the ride. GrimLewd is wild.
Baxter Turnham
Is this going to turn into an RPG manual? Small group 2-4 players, would be fun!

I think that it could be a good idea to follow the path of a few characters, like the templar, the fey and maybe another character until they reach their final tier. Once we finish their stories we can change to another group.

I am very interested in what high level heroes look like in this setting. High level character in general. To get an idea of what the end game looks like.

Why no Everything option?

We're gonna need a wiki or something. I'm already having trouble keeping track of the regions and how they were different from each other.

Kinda wish we can cast 3 votes a poll to gage, intensity of desire. Like I really want to see more monsters and read more of the locations/kingdoms but I voted corrupted humans to read stories. All of it is good to flesh out the world. Honestly I’d like a setting book for an rpg from this.
RunningGentles
I like the idea of seeing how normal/low level people might interact with those farther along their particular paths.

I agree with Goatrustler. I do love some corruption arcs, and I hope to see lots of those, but I'd also love to see some comfort/support happy endings (it helps makes the dark ones all the more juicy >:)

I understand the paralysis because on one hand, there's the urge to show off the regular lives of people in this world, and on the other there is the high fantasy really out there stuff. Personally I lean into exploring the more wondrous elements; even if you are talking about a simple tavern wench, her being faced with something fantastical teases the imagination and scratches the surface. Be it some monster, a highly corrupt individual and so on. The idea being to layer the fantasy we know with a little trademark GrimLewd touch. Give it that spice. Though on a more direct suggestion level, someone fancy/from royalty being secretly degenerate (or, god forbid, in some weird sex cult) would be pretty sweet. Nobles are the sort to get involved in such forbidden pleasures.
Goatrustler
I enjoy the danger and excitement many of these idea have centered around losing control. But more so I would love to see more characters banding together and finding comfort and support in each other. I think that's something that worked very well with Danny and Tilly when exploring corruption/conversion.
Mike
What about Whore Queen's Island? Might just be my predictions showing, but that's where my interests lie...
Jacqueline Sweet
I am really enjoying this project. Is there any plan to do longer form stories in the world? Or to put out general rules and invite others to write in the system? Also, I would love to see the slow corruption and descent/ascent of a few characters over time.
FaeTheWolf
I love this project so much already, but I'm really hoping you'll take it in a more serial-comic direction, like Butt Smithy (or like the RPG-erotica comic "I Roved Out")
QuestionAlways
I know this poll is just to feel things out, but I really just want to see all of the Grimlewd lore you have in store. So far, it’s all been fascinating and you clearly have a deep passion for this project. I couldn’t decide on just one!
Pleasant Apathy
I agree with Fireworkjack. It would be interesting to have a central character in each zone/realm to focus on. The setting is quite interesting and I have enjoyed reading about it. Hope to see more!
BlazeLA
This project continues to be amazing. How much of the actual under-the-hood system mechanics have you worked out? I'm fascinated by the game-design elements as well as the sexy art and ideas.
Fireworkjack
Honestly this feels like the most fun you've had in your art since Alfie started. I hope you enjoy it and pace yourself. I think what would be nice is to see one character to follow for a bit in each territory and how that territory/corruption affects that type of person. Also throwing in a few peasant/royals to flesh out the lore/areas/story. Which is basically what you're doing, but instead of Waifu Royale going wide with characters, focusing on maybe 3 character's journeys over time would be my recommendation.
Thomas Sutter
I still like the name Grimlewd. You gonna change it?
Thomas Sutter
Would you draw the event of someone being corrupted or the thing that corrupts them?
Kai Sobil
Where's the button for, "I like everything you do and want to see everything in this list."? Sorry I can't help with your decision paralysis, I just want ALL the content for this series.
Coth
which option focuses on the corrupting and body-warping effects of the world?
KarinCorrupted
But I do have a secret spot for more wild design approach like Burk burk (Walking fortress) and Ker Rotraud (Interface).
Chris Crowther
"Yes"
KarinCorrupted
I love all the character so far, from Noble to Commonfolk, Monster and Elf. The diversity make it so gooooood for me. But I also like a lot what you did with Verakost soldier/sigil it give a sense of continuity and "realism" to the world. On side note I feel that poll have some problem and might result with always the same type of character winning or similar kind of situation, idk how that can be solved tho.
jordan wildrick
I'm happy with Just about anything. Some of these feel like they might be repeating themselves but that might just be my D&D brain talking. I'm most excited in hearing about the world myself
KidNeon
Deep vertical slices of an original fantasy land, down to ingredients, up to the battles of demigods.
Nicholas Feltner
Also yes, would love to see way more of Grimlewd.
Nicholas Feltner
Not sure if it's a mobile issue. Can't choose more than one choice.
Boss Salvage
I voted for all the weird stuff, including places-that-I'm-pretty-sure-make-stuff-weird-if-it-isn't-already
Boss Salvage
Had the same thought, would be Very In
straycat74
and then they would pay even MORE for the kinky version ^_^ (All hail the Book of Erotic Fantasy. heh. )
Kryptik Cobbler
However much you've enjoyed creating this Grimlewd world, I can assure that I've enjoyed viewing/reading about it at least as much, if not more. It is a perfect delivery method for smutty, amazing, fantasy art.
straycat74
at some point you should really find someone to turn this into a proper RPG. there are a couple of open gaming lisenses availible..and between this setting and Alfie, you've got TWO campaign worlds availible. people would pay good money for a RPG sourcebook with you providing illustrations.
WillSeason
Just some ideas from this selection. Ignore if ya think sounds stupid. Scrappy hero and big monster battle couple. Royalty seduced by bards. Wizards delving into the DEEP LORE of the forgotten kingdoms and goes made with power (lust, maybe a lick but with lust not necromancy?). Or whatever ya want to do. Ya seem real into this project and I dig it. Can’t wait to see what ya make. Have fun buddy.
SvenderThings
Ended up voting for all of them. Seems I too had choice paralysis
z
Don't forget things like specialist gear, food and drink, and the little background details that are around (example-is there something that fills a dog-like niche around here that would be...unique? Or the cat-like niche?).
Reese
I really like seeing the unique challenges and adaptations of those people far out from civilization!
