"what the hell is vajrarev?" an evolution of GOV's dharmapunk, its explicitly an esoteric dialectical materialist spin on speculative fiction. i didn't want to use -punk bc increasingly that came with ultimately liberal/petit-bourgeois connotations, i needed smth more material

GOD OBLITERATING VAJRA is like if Nier, Tears of the Kingdom, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, The Raid, and Southeast Asian Horror was grafted onto Esoteric Buddhism. Dharmapunk Action Horror Dark Fantasy: the world ruled by demon chakravartins, enlightenment feels impossible, ghosts and demons roam free

IV - QUANTUM ACOLYTE Choose 1 Magick Magick 1: Skewer. Point out with the Spear Mudra (pointer and middle finger outstretched, thumb half folded to the side, other fingers pulled in, palm-face down), spend 1 Shear, and thrust forward. All thing|being in a 1t wide straight line that stretches out to 10t from you is skewered, suffering 1 Flensing damage immediately. Magick 2: Subatomic Schizophrenia. When you would suffer trauma, spend 1 Shear to change your Mind-State for a moment and making it so that for the moment where trauma would’ve been inflicted upon your Consciousness is replaced instead with the void-between-becomings, making you ignore that trauma. Magick 3: Quantum Style: Self-Splitting Meditation. Spend 2 Shear and at least an hour performing the mudras and mantras. At the end of the hour, suffer 1 damage to bleed yourself. You split yourself into d3 clones of yourself, who can go anywhere and have minds of their own until the next sunset or sunrise, whichever is sooner. At the end of the duration, you collapse into a single entity. You choose which material form you collapse into.

ddisco elysium's pitch doc said "level up your ability to dream" and i misread that as "level up your ability to love" and after a fever-dream deep dive into badiou i have made it so that you can level up your ability to love in sundang langit. the dharmapunk wuxia ttrpg™️.
LOVING Your ability in loving another individual. This is not the love for nation, or love for God—those things are still part of society. This Love is Love that disrupts society. This is the “Love that begins when Politics ends”, as the Masangwanist-Wairinist continental philosopher Arang Rekungtai says. Eschew moralism: it is nothing but an encounter between two beings. It is disciplined by society, but that is what we humans do, right? No one will ever understand you. Can Love save us at all? Root: Sensation Good For: poets, philosophers, musicians

THE PEOPLE OF THE WARRIOR KING. LORDS OF RESSEN-NALENJI, BARON OF INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL

the ratenese culture, 1 of 50 from SUNDANG LANGIT, the dharmapunk spirit cultivation ttrpg

KILL GOD LOSE EVERYTHING, LOSE EVERYTHING KILL GOD

art by @tsaakolate.bsky.social !!
RATENESE - PEOPLE OF THE WARRIOR KING The people of the far western Refuge of the Gnostics, otherwise known as the Sunset Archipelago. Their cultural identity circles around the return of their King Arsaraten (Warrior-King in Ratenese), the Bear King. Before nationalization under King Arsaraten, they were the Free Peoples of the Known World, who had had to feud and survive against the Witch-King before becoming united under the single Bear King Crown. The Ratenese culture underwent a bloody revolution during the turn of the 11500, during the Decades of Carnage, which led to the expunging of the Aristocracy by the Ratenese Bourgeoisie (more importantly, the Drakoneran Trading Guild). They turned Raten and surrounding kingdoms into democratic nations and installed the Trading Officials as presidents and prime ministers. During the Decades of Carnage the disparate nation-states and corporations banded together to create a confederation of merchant-kingdoms with the rest of the great Nilatpa Island known as the Ressen-Nalenji Confederation, for the sake of protecting their own interest (which includes the most valuable asset, people). Their name arises from the primary export of Raten (Ressen, a cowbreed that has feed millions) and Soreh (Nalenji, a rice-like grain substitute that can grow without the need for excessive humidity and water. Goes great with oranges). Though ostensibly called a Confederation, the Ressen-Nalenji is a veritable merchant empire, fully embracing liberal values after the fall of the God-Kings and embracing colonization as a means of “peace” after the failure of the Second World Revolution. Through control over trade routes, resources, and being ruled by corporations, the Confederation has burgeoned into one of the most powerful geopolitical entitites of the Post-Calamity Era, rivalling the Holy Amatsu Empire and the Celestial Shennin Society.

it's a term inspired by Nine Sols' use of "Taopunk"--Dharmapunk in the sense that the prevailing tech is tantric rituals and ideologies and materialist (dharma-is-phenomenon in the buddhist definition), punk in the sense that that tech is what's needed to bring about a new world

the strongest magicks in sundang langit, the dharmapunk monsoon asia ttrpg, tend to have 4 roll-gates to them to emphasize the steps in the spell. a roll might represent 4 hours, frex: visualization, meditation, mudra, and mantra, inspired by esoteric tantras and pujas

Ultima Beam. Requires III in two Magick Cultivations and at least +3 in Third Eye. This is a dangerous magick. To even use it, suffer (Third Eye) Health or Resolve damage (you can split it however you like). Then, Third Eye Check to visualize the gods of annihilation, Rutra Buddha. Pass? Meditation Check to summon annihilative Sapi from your Sapi Furnace. Pass? Communication Check to chant the proper mantras 108 times. Pass? Kinetics Check to perform the 12 proper mudras. Pass? Open your eyes. Choose a spot within 100t. With your hand, unleash a beam of obliterating karmic lightning that annihilates any non-sentient being within a 50t radius from that spot. If a sentient being, this deals d6 + (Third Eye) flensing Health damage. Only the Anuttara Vidyadhara knows this technique, and she always keeps moving.
