the most ghibli inspired tabletop game continues to be Flying Circus
the way that aircraft built for transportation (like the Castle in the Sky little pod craft in those screenshots, or the speeder thingies from Howl's Moving Castle, or the gliders from Nausicaa) are either sleek, elegant things or compact bumblebee-like mopeds-but-for-the-sky... while those made for war are hulking, bulbous monstrosities, bloated turret-encrusted machines of death that seem to stumble through the air
Like, it's absolutely not subtle, but it doesn't need to be! it's a pretty powerful expression of the feelings he's expressed about aircraft - the sheer joy and wonder in flight & the ability to escape the confines of gravity, and the horror of its use for war
...idk if any of that's like, profound or anything - I just really like Ghibli aircraft >.>
