Jehosaphat

It doesn't show up on my computer. Should I be grateful?

Caps LOCK! Anywho, explain further. I don't know what this One Shot idea is mostly. If it's a page back, I must have missed it. *goes back a page or two to check* Rather than putting a burden on one tavern member to create a campaign, they would create probably a session's worth of action with possibly premade characters. Each GM would run one or three different one shot adventures with a specific system. Then, before they got burnt out they would switch out of the GM chair for another tavernite and the cycle would repeat itself. The system could change with GMs or be kept the same, whatever the current gm's preference is. EDIT: Retech, most all are available online. Hell, you probably wouldn't even need to make maps, just spreasheets using google docs to act as the battle map. Sounds interesting. Are you planning to be the first GM?

Elaborate some more, preferably without capslock. Is it going to be people taking turns GMing, scheduling volunteer GMs for games on certain days, a bunch of separate, short games or a long one run by multiple GMs...?

Okay. Everybody chill before someone blows their top. Consider this the warning of the week - keep things civil. No flaming, personal attacks, etc. Lei, I highly recommend getting a livejournal if you want to just talk about your life somewhere, or to converse via PM if you only wish to relay a message to a one or a few people.

As the designated moderator for that area, I can honestly say that things do get a little pretentious sometimes. Mostly because it's really rare for us to get new blood because we're at the bottom of the forum, so we've developed a sort of subcommunity amongst ourselves. However, assuming that we are all pretention, all the time, seems a bit harsh to me. Especially since it would seem that you haven't given the forum a shot or posted there once to try breaking the ice... As for the changes, I'm going to say that I have no problem with them being implemented.

Err... That depends on how long I can hold on to the idea and how long I can manage to have my lazy butt produce the story. So guess what I drew. [hide=Late-night drawing, so it probably sucks a bit more than the rest] I.... really shouldn't draw this guy when I need to sleep shortly afterward... Don't know how creepy you guys find it, but for me it's right up there next to Gamzee and Squiddles, a few tiers below Slenderman.[/hide]

No, actually - the main plotline gets made up by the GM, along with planets. Characters' titles (like Heir of Breath, Seer of Light, etc.) are decided by way of RNG, and then the stats come out of the title. The whole ruleset is over here, along with blank character sheets. If I weren't a horrible GM, I would run a session, but as it is my schedule is too weird to run games consistently.

Do we really need to bring this up again? No. No we don't. If you have an issue with Mather or his opinions, talk to him about it via PM.

Hmm... okay, I'll try some of that. But I can't draw forest-floor greenery worth balls, so :x

First: It is highly probable that I am on the computer more than you are, unless you are also a university student taking very few classes at the moment. Now, topic change? Topic change. Someone finally managed to suck me into a D&D-based game. By making it based off of Homestuck. Resulting in... [hide=The Land of Snakes and Jungles] Sorry about the JPEG, but PNG took forever to upload.[/hide]

I think it was a Canada joke.

Yes he is. Really, I was worried about nothing.

Interesting barrows note from the KB. Directly contradicts what mod Emilee says in the "Game Update FAQ - 14/09/11: How are Barrows drop rates affected by the new brother? By killing him, do you have an increased of getting all of the pieces or only his set? Mod Chris L: The barrows have some unique drop mechanics. Akrisae being in the barrows has not increased the chance of you getting all of the other pieces. As with the existing behaviour, you can only get Akrisae's gear from the chest if you killed the Akrisae barrow wight beforehand. This being said, his appearance has resulted in some interesting possibilities. The "best" chance at getting barrows gear from the chest is if 6 Barrows brothers have been killed. This still stands. So, for example, if you know you don't want any of Karil's gear, you can completely skip killing him, kill Akrisae and the other brothers (resulting in 6 wight kills) then head down to the chest where you stand the same "best" chance, except you've now removed the chance to get the gear you don't want." QFC: 15-16-871-63202569 P.S. The barrows question is near the bottom. EDIT: thought, they don't actually contradict each other. If you must kill at least 6 barrow wights for the best chance at an item, then technically killing 7 would still be the same chances of a barrows item as killing six and therefore still yields the highest chance of a barrows item... Hmm... Trust mod, or trust KB....? ...Yeah, I wasn't killing Torag anyways. I don't care if killing him along with the other 6 results in higher chance of loot, it means that I have a higher chance of getting his really crappy excuse for loot.

I don't see why it shouldn't be--there's one additional brother to kill, but you still only need to kill six brothers to maximize the chances of a barrows item, so you can just skip one if you can't get all seven in time. ....Not according to the KB. So.... I guess it'll be "kill them from priciest armor to cheapest armor"? My concern was mainly with Akrisae's ability to negate damage, but I guess I can just figure out a way to integrate range into my setup. Or just melee him all the way if his damage negation prayers aren't too effective.

[hide]So now that I managed to get through the quest (DAMN MOS LE HARMLESS), my main concern is: Is it still possible to consistently do the majority of a full Barrows run in 1 overload dose with the addition of Akrisae?[/hide]

It's a world where technology has evolved to the point where organic augmentations are practical for the majority of the population. So when a kid is born, they give them a headband/goggles/whatever, download their brain to it, and then chop their head off. In most cases, the headband thing is capable of sustaining the head long enough for a stable source of energy to be applied so the head doesn't fully die, but for the few cases where that doesn't happen, you end up with a person-in-a-headband. Oh, and the people with heads that survive get technology in place of their necks that lets their head just sort of float above the rest of their body. The majority of people then pick out various other augmentations as adolescents to their financial limit, i.e. arm replacements, wings, tails, etc. So one guy manages to have his head fall off and cracks his goggles on the pavement, revealing one eye, bloodshot due to not seeing sunlight for his whole life. He then goes sober-Gamzee insane, complete with creepy appearance alterations and his cybertronic wings/tail twisting and turning in Lovecraftian geometries. And since I know there's going to be people posting that said world isn't realistic, possible, feasible, w/e: It's my pseudoscience story and I will do what I please with it. Could make an interesting horror story of some sort. :thumbup: It's not entirely intended to be a horror story, there are just some parts where I think "how screwed up am I that I came up with this?" He eventually gets his face clawed off by the stereotypical guy-who-was-raised-by-animals, though. There's even a Jen cameo in there.

D'awww. It's pretty cute, Lei. :P My sentiments exactly. And lately, I've been drawing yet another different storyline/world. And some of the stuff in it terrifies me to no end.

....I'm not even going to ask.

Due to this picture, it is actually slowly becoming a trend within the fandom to do cosplay poses in front of security guards for no reason other than the look on the guard's face.

[hide]Yeah, follow the burnt grass. You can actually hide in the tall grass, too - just make sure it's examinable before you try hiding in it. I just keep getting roasted half-a-second after leaving cover for some reason. I'll try again later.[/hide]

Guess who recognizes the Scrubs reference? THIS GUY! Still. Someone please tell me the quest is less of a pain in the *** after that part. Please.
