rabid flaming badger

verbal ferry
#

that would be a cool combo!

#

melee

regal mulch
#

like

#

No spoils

#

why cant you say them

verbal ferry
#

but yeah

regal mulch
#

Because they're not fully thought out, and it'd be fun to learn in rp how they returned from the void.

verbal ferry
#

there should be some sort of mechanism

#

to prevent you from turning the fire on and off multiple times per round

#

to circumvent the damage

#

because, that just doesnt really make much sense

#

and is pretty immersion breaking

regal mulch
#

ill work on it in a second

verbal ferry
#

ok

#

👍

regal mulch
#

Autumn

#

Would you approve if I work on a fancy character sheet?

#

Instead of the excel sheet we have?

#

yeah

#

i would love that

#

Kk

#

Will work on it

#

mechanical and roleplay stuff should be on seperate pages though

#

or sections atleast

#

oh and make sure you have species traits, species adaptations, and normal adaps seperated (and probably room to explain what they do too)

verbal ferry
#

oh yeah

#

other idea for a character

#

gourmand with spray

#

living machine gun

#

oh wait

regal mulch
verbal ferry
#

1d6 - tolerance damage on spontaneous combustion

#

that makes it a lot more balanced.

regal mulch
verbal ferry
#

rip

#

my idea is comboing that with an arti and

#

that would be terrifying

#

haha

regal mulch
#

Yup, already thought of.

verbal ferry
#

could also do a rivulet with fucking

#

rabies

#

just straight up

#

they have contracted rabies

#

anyways im gonna go to bed probably

regal mulch
#

the sleeper

#

Sleep well

regal mulch
magic oasis
regal mulch

#

this is important for the lore

magic oasis
regal mulch
#

goes hard

regal mulch
#

sure

magic oasis
#

you look like you left the void sea a little too early

regal mulch
#

character who tries to insult slugcats but keeps flirting

magic oasis
#

not even gourmand appreciates your excessive eating habits

regal mulch
regal mulch
magic oasis
#

you look like you couldn't fight one SpongeBob, let alone 1,768,263,800,000

#

you like loser mice.

regal mulch
#

should i let the slugcats play a ttrpg in s&s

magic oasis
#

yes but you must write the rules in karma glyphs

regal mulch
#

Humans and Swords

#

Lol

#

Time to create a whole other ttrpg just to make an inception joke. Lmao

regal mulch
#

love naming slugcats i can make shit up on the fly

#

someone ask me to name 5 slugcats

magic oasis
#

AUTUMN

#

AUTUMN I HAVE A TERRIBLE EMERGENCY @regal mulch

regal mulch

magic oasis
#

I NEED YOU TO INEXPLICABLY GENERATE 5 SLUGCAT NAMES

#

RIGHT NOW

FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON HELP

#

i'll steal one of them

#

i mean, uh

#

HELP

regal mulch
#

leaf stone pond fish gum

magic oasis
#

thank you

#

i owe you my life

regal mulch
#

two of those are being used in the campaign

magic oasis
regal mulch
#

guess which ones

#

if you guess right ill send pictures of them

magic oasis
#

stonefish

regal mulch
#

fish was correct

#

let me get an image of them made because its not made yet

magic oasis
#

well the chances weren't that high to get them correct

#

1/5 chance then 1/4 chance

#

1/20 chance to get it by random chance alone

regal mulch
#

Could've gotten it right by rolling a d20. Lol

magic oasis
#

hey, i can't always roll a nat 20

regal mulch
#

heres fish

#

youll never guess their species

magic oasis
#

fishy

#

is that artificer

regal mulch
#

yews

#

their ear is a dead giveaway

#

Their eyes are the wrong color. scavjudgement

magic oasis
#

wait no

#

is that rivulet?

regal mulch
#

(still goes to fix it)

#

just kidding im not

#

the journal is plentiful

#

Indeed

magic oasis
#

the journs are plentifuyl

regal mulch
#

kind of wished that there was a way to show just pictures to the players when you give a character handout

#

and no they have a longer journal entry its not done yet

magic oasis
#

Artificer

regal mulch
#

actually

#

i can let players edit the notes

#

should they be the one filling them out instead

#

Simply multiple handouts. Lol

#

wdym

#

Complaining about only being able to send pictures. Simply have one with only picture.

#

oh yeah

#

:P

#

I don't wanna be at work for another hour slugloafcry

#

ok this works

#

See

#

You're welcome.

#

just ignore the portraits all the time and we good

#

holy shit

magic oasis
#

rai nworld

regal mulch
#

i can change my picture depending on the scugcat

magic oasis
#

shapeshifter

#

👉

regal mulch
#

oh yes right

#

for Session 1™️ we will not be using The List™️

#

ill just pick 2 people in particular

#

probably intikus and one other

magic oasis
#

i am not ready

regal mulch
#

why

magic oasis
#

busy and also being lazy

regal mulch
#

The list will be used for test runs.

#

For now

#

I have guaranteed Saturday off every week, so unless I have something else come up, I'll be free every session.

#

sweet

#

foxy answer the dm slugscrem

verbal ferry
verbal ferry
#

ok some more insults

#

"shortteeth" could be a scav insult

#

"longteeth" could be used sarcastically for scavs

#

"can you even parry bro" could be another

#

"glass throw" hghgh

#

(like glass joe but, throw .. . loll!!!!)

#

(which in of itself is just a play on words for glass jaw)

#

"blinker" could be an insult used by younger ones

#

seeing as nervous scavs tend to blink more

regal mulch
#

these all go hard

verbal ferry
#

"dulleyes" could be one for slugs

#

it doesnt really have much to do with anything but

#

im better at coming up with scavs insults apparently lol

#

"brighteyes" could actually be one for scavs

#

because low energy level scavs tend to have brighter coloration, apparently

#

i thought high energy scavs had yellow eyes but no

#

other way around

#

guess "boggler" could be another pretty comparable insult

#

though likely used when talking about somebody behind their back

#

"ay, you know dave? he's a real boggler. won't face even the weakest of lizards."

regal mulch
#

gonna have the scavs throw out all of these at once

verbal ferry
#

yes

regal mulch
#

vicious mockery in slugcat no way (explosive)

verbal ferry
#

(the troll)

#

idk if any traits other than nervous could be considered 'weak' in scav culture

#

other than empathy

#

maybe too high of energy could actually be considered problematic

#

so they would insult people both for being really unenergetic but also too energetic

#

though i feel like "slanter" doesnt sound very good

#

maybe dumber scavs might throw it out when they're out of ideas

#

like

#

eh no

#

"you're kid's such a slanter- you really might wanna get him under control"

#

i really dont know what would be used by scugs

#

because there's not much to go on culturally speaking

regal mulch
#

slugciety would still have banger insults

#

"grapple worm" directed at saints

verbal ferry
#

yes

regal mulch
#

also just "monk"

verbal ferry
#

wonder if 'stickyfingers' could be something for scavs

#

due to pearl

regal mulch
#

hello slugcats i am preparing The List™️

#

@craggy pulsar i know you in particular wanted to join right

craggy pulsar
#

yes yes yes yes yes

regal mulch
#

you get a free pass to join then

#

we are running a session 0 today

#

you free?

craggy pulsar
#

now?

#

yeyeyeye

regal mulch
#

not rn

#

in uh

#

4 hours

craggy pulsar
#

yeyeyeye

regal mulch
#

sweet

#

character creation well do then

#

@verbal ferry @magic oasis it was also you two who wanted to join right

magic oasis
#

yeah, though maybe put me at the bottom of the list

regal mulch
#

i just spin a wheel and remove names

magic oasis
#

i likely won't be very reliable in joining next week onwards

regal mulch
#

ah ok

#

ig bill nye then unless someone else asks to join today

#

the wheel agrees anyways

verbal ferry
#

mhm i was

#

wanting to join

#

sweet

#

ok so i will probably do arti lol

regal mulch
#

sweet

verbal ferry
#

yes

regal mulch
#

as i said before character creation will be done session 0

verbal ferry
#

fire guy

regal mulch
#

which is today

verbal ferry
#

ah right

#

so

regal mulch
#

in like 4 hours

verbal ferry
#

i'm gonna name him crackle

regal mulch
#

first session would be next week probably

verbal ferry
#

he's gonna have some moss

#

and a couple rocks

#

for starting fires

#

in his inventory

regal mulch
verbal ferry
#

oh ok

magic oasis
#

nice map

regal mulch
#

the blood lizard

#

Is this just a random test, or is this first campaign?

verbal ferry
#

im pretty sure its a copypasta

regal mulch
#

still technically a test but it is designed to be a more coherent campaign

#

not just a one shot

#

Kk

#

im gonna work on converting lizard stats into rolls now

#

so black lizards what should their rolls be

verbal ferry
#

are they gonna have substats?

#

or no

#

also wdym

#

like

#

chance to hit and stuff

#

versus resistances?

regal mulch
#

substats and main stats are the same for creatures

verbal ferry
#

okok

regal mulch
#

i mean their like

#

stat mods

verbal ferry
#

mm

#

i mean knowledge should probably be like

#

-2

#

they cant see after all

#

and they're probably dumb

regal mulch
#

stupud dumb dumb idiot lizard

#

agreed there

#

Perception high

#

Hearing

#

they have advantage on perception checks relating to hearing already

#

Gotcha

verbal ferry
#

i feel like uhh

#

maybe something to do with reaction times

#

like

#

weak to slidespearing

#

or hits to the throat

#

maybe easier to crit them

regal mulch
#

what about their agility then

verbal ferry
#

mm

#

probably pretty high honestly

#

hard to see

#

after all

#

even despite their relative

#

lack of it

#

so maybe just +6

#

or no

#

+3

#

maybe even +2

#

yeah +2 seems better

#

their highest stat should likely be uhh

#

allure

#

seeing as they kinda cooperate

regal mulch
#

+5 is the max mod normally

#

2d6 system

verbal ferry
#

yeah im dumb

#

sorry

regal mulch
#

Can I bring another person into this if they're free?

verbal ferry
#

but uh

#

allure should probably be +3

verbal ferry
#

same with muscle

regal mulch
#

My sibling

#

Wanna see if they want to join.

#

sure they can be on The List™️

#

Kk

#

theyll probably not be able to join till session 2 though since the 2 spots for s1 are full

#

i think +1 agility and +2 resistance fits fine

#

That's fine.

verbal ferry
#

mm aight

regal mulch
verbal ferry
regal mulch
#

My family are a bunch of nerds, so I figure I might as well bring them into this.

#

blue lizard

#

-3 resistance +2 agility

#

And I'm getting a handle on how to dm a session by playing with you guys, so eventually I'll be able to dm for them specifically.

#

more people that can dm is great since that means less dm burnout all around

#

Sibling has accepted being put on the list.

#

@ember sentinel

#

THE LIST

#

Might even get dad on the list.slugevil

#

maybe

#

aht about knowledege, muscle, and allure for blue liz

#

im think +1, -1, -1

#

Dad is a huge D&D nerd, and great at rp, so he'd be a valuable asset to this.

#

I'm sure he'd have wonderful ideas to help us too.

#

Gotta wait for him to wake up before I have any guarantees on him wanting to join.

#

ok i finished all lizard stats

#

check them out

ember sentinel
#

Herb

verbal ferry
#

sweet

regal mulch
#

herb

magic oasis
#

many

#

when the full doc is mostly finished, i think it'd be funny to name it spears and more slugcats

regal mulch
#

no we need an expansion named that

magic oasis
#

yes

regal mulch
#

Dad has chosen to watch over play

regal mulch
#

you shall have the herb

#

(gourmandful behaviour)

#

ok adap idea you can consume blessings for health regain

#

1 blessing 1 health

verbal ferry
#

mm

#

seems a little weak tbh

#

but ok

regal mulch
#

its basically +2 recovery dice at max

#

also karmic connection rework

magic oasis
#

this is on monk, right?

#

haven't read their adapts in a bit (one day)

regal mulch
#

no

#

its an adap for anyone

#

but probably for the person playing host with their army of rotlings and creatures

#

wait holy shit host adap idea let me write this up

#

host sweep

#

@hushed bane 1 hostrillon damage per second

magic oasis
#

is there a save against this

regal mulch
#

its only on tamed creatures

magic oasis
#

oh woops

magic oasis
regal mulch
#

yes

magic oasis
#

thanks

regal mulch
#

dc 30 check have fun finding a way to tame them

verbal ferry
#

damn

verbal ferry
magic oasis
verbal ferry
#

"hello your computer has virĂśs"

magic oasis
#

and intimidation tactics

regal mulch
#

iterator: "nah im good its just a few slugcats"
gourmand with a comically large straw:

magic oasis
#

little did the iterator know....

#

there were

#

more slugcats

regal mulch
#

"watch out pebbles! theres More Slugcats Expansion coming your way!"

#

"What the fuck is tha-"
arti slams into fp at incredibly high speeds

hushed bane
regal mulch
#

wait

#

are party members considered tamed creatures

#

if not can you tame a party member

verbal ferry
#

s h r u g

craggy pulsar
#

can you start as anything this campaign?

verbal ferry
#

i'd say probably

#

but i feel like taking over somebody else

#

would be considered pvp

regal mulch
#

oh any species?

craggy pulsar
#

ye

regal mulch
#

yeah

#

what do you have in mind

craggy pulsar
#

Was thinking "oh maybe they need something spesific to test out"

#

but eh

#

also what i have in mind

#

Drunken Gourmand

regal mulch
#

play a gourmand then

#

theyre cool

#

also we should probably get hunter downside done rn

#

what should the other part be

craggy pulsar
#

drunkenness will be fun to roleplay

#

I've convinced folks that I've had too many pints a fair few times monklaugh

verbal ferry
#

yes

verbal ferry
#

oh yeah

#

fair point

#

mm

#

i mean, maybe he could potentially get sick or something

#

vulnerability to hypothermia

#

idk

magic oasis
#

party members aren't tamed, they just have a truce

verbal ferry
#

a tamed creature can defy you

regal mulch
verbal ferry
#

a tamed creature has a truce with you

#

it's just too stupid to understand what a truce is

magic oasis
#

it's like being neutral with scavengers

regal mulch
#

"there will be no party member controlling"

verbal ferry
#

1984 gif

magic oasis
#

also because like

verbal ferry
#

haha

magic oasis
#

As a player it's not fun to have no control over your actions

verbal ferry
#

anyways for hunter

#

uhhh. . .

#

i mean

#

i dont know what would work without just

#

shutting down potential builds

magic oasis
#

hunter drawbacks?

#

i think it might just be a bit of a cursed problem to begin with

#

cause if you want to be accurate to the source material... hunter really has no drawbacks

regal mulch
#

cancer

magic oasis
#

they have the illness, but it's unlikely enough time will pass before that has any effect

#

unless you want to buff that illness and make it always be in effect, but then i think hunter would become pretty bad

#

you could make something with how they can't find karma flowers at all, take that and maybe expand that to work more with the lore

regal mulch
#

something about karma was the original idea

#

originally -4 blessings but thats a bit ehhh no since theres a chance they have no uses for you

magic oasis
#

make dying more risky as hunter

regal mulch
#

that was one of my ideas too

#

you lose ALL food pips on death, not just reserve

magic oasis
#

great stats for head to head combat, but dying can potentially lead to much worse outcomes

#

no permadeath, but like

regal mulch
magic oasis
#

what about the injury table?

regal mulch
#

that

#

could work

#

two injuries on death

magic oasis
#

death is made more punishing through the injury table

#

can adjust it anyways if it ends up being too harsh or not harsh enough

craggy pulsar
#

just now thought that hunter could maybe take extra damage when damaged?

#

glass cannon type thingy

magic oasis
#

So either :
Every death, apply 2 injuries intead of 1
OR
Every 2nd death, apply 2 injuries instead of 1

#

following up on that
you know how 5p can't cure hunter's turbocancer?

regal mulch
#

ok so hunter is playable now (up till level 3)

#

yeah

magic oasis
#

make injuries harder to cure on hunter

regal mulch
#

we dont have rules on exactly how you cure injuries really so nah

#

i think just more does that already

magic oasis
#

lessen the healing hunter receives

#

either by a percentage, or by a flat dice roll (cannot go below 1 healing)

regal mulch
#

i just think more injuries is enough

verbal ferry
#

yeah no

#

having extra uh

#

healing loss

#

is bad

#

for something that's meant to be a fighter

#

maybe they should have problems in subjects not relating to fighting?

#

i genuinely think weakness to getting sick could be interesting.

#

hypothermia and what not

regal mulch
#

i think more injuries is a good idea

magic oasis
#

are there rules on what happens for sickness?

regal mulch
#

odds are you get a non combat one

regal mulch
verbal ferry
#

i feel like

#

weakness to poison, sickness, ecetera

#

would be less likely to stack overtime

#

and become unplayable

regal mulch
#

you can still heal the injuries

#

and odds are you dont get the same one 5 times

verbal ferry
#

mm fair

regal mulch
#

most are non combat

magic oasis
#

the odds you get the same injury twice already is incredibly slim

regal mulch
#

yeah

magic oasis
#

tbh with how skewed the injuries are away from combat

#

i think it's kinda funny how the more injuries hunter gets, the more they have to hard spec into combat p much

#

because on average they'll get decreases in non-combat stats more than what they need for violence

regal mulch
#

0.25% chance they get the same injury twice in two rolls

magic oasis
#

1/20 x 1/20
1/400

regal mulch
#

how i be showing up to the slug meeting with -5 knowledge, -5 comprehension, -5 perception, and -5 allure

magic oasis
#

yeah that's correct

magic oasis
#

brain's only use is tell arm to throw spear

regal mulch
#

so true

#

new rite!!!
throw spear

#

cost: 1 spear

#

damage: 2d6 at a range

magic oasis
#

i cast gun!

regal mulch
#

(counts as a conventional weapon)

magic oasis
#

naming slugcats like the passage symbols is too hard because then you have to come up with a name that sounds like an achievement

#

thank you autumn for reminding me earlier that naming slugcats after inanimate (or animate) objects is good too

regal mulch
#

how i handle it is that the species is named like an achievment, but individual slugcat names are just random things

magic oasis
#

oh fair enough

regal mulch
#

tldr if an enby would name themselves that its a valid slugcat name

magic oasis
#

time to name a slugcat salami sandwich

#

i like food names anyways.

verbal ferry
#

wo

magic oasis
#

yes i am eating salami sandwich

verbal ferry
#

im jealous

#

no food rn

magic oasis
#

(replace the green with white because it's cheese)

regal mulch
#

ok so uh

#

@hushed bane @regal mulch @warped ice @craggy pulsar @verbal ferry i realize i have session 1 completely prepped and done already

#

do you want to do both session 0 and 1

#

I'm down.

warped ice
#

lemme see if i can get fizzy's attention if that didnt work [im down aswell]

regal mulch
#

Will be voiceless through a bit of session 0 prolly, or be late. One of them.

craggy pulsar
#

Yup

#

As soon as my internet fixes itself and shit

#

Also after I’ve finished my character monklaugh

magic oasis
#

i will spectate.

#

because i think it's fun

hushed bane
#

OH I GOTTA MAKE MY CHARACTER THEN AAA

craggy pulsar
#

Skill issue

warped ice
#

yeah thats why session 0 [i think]

regal mulch
#

we weill be doing that duirng the sesison

craggy pulsar
#

Also this is the big character

regal mulch
#

oh right intikus and bill the way the campaign is gonna work

regal mulch
#

Together

hushed bane
#

oh okay

regal mulch
#

every session we rotate out 2 people (those being intikus and bill nye) and pick 2 random people from The List™️

warped ice
#

where is The List™️ is it a list we can read

regal mulch
#

basically my solution to everyone wanting to play but not being able to dm like 10 people

regal mulch
#

The List™ prolly isn't finished yet too.

#

this is the list for now

warped ice
#

fair

magic oasis
#

she's making a list

#

she's checking it twice

regal mulch
#

Checking who'll be stabbed tonight

craggy pulsar
#

Are we gonna be here for both sessions then?

#

Cuz it’s both tonight and all

regal mulch
#

Session 0 is character creation. Session 1 is when the campaign starts.

#

So yes

#

yeah

craggy pulsar
#

Ah

#

It is what it is

#

Was already preparing drunk gordie lol

magic oasis
#

the gourd

craggy pulsar
#

Hope ur able to weave the rotation finely into the narrative ;)

regal mulch
#

Autumn will let us know our character levels and what not in session 0.

regal mulch
verbal ferry
#

im here now

#

though im pretty hungry

#

would drywall be a fitting name

#

or

#

eh

#

got a better idea

#

uhm. . .

#

i actually dont know how to add extra boxes to google sheets

regal mulch
#

just use the template

#

its pinned

verbal ferry
#

figured it out

#

yeah ik

#

im adding a personality section

regal mulch
#

well ill be in ampitheatre since we are about to start

warped ice
#

oh yeah baby artificer time

magic oasis
#

hi :)

warped ice
#

i will join Soon™️

regal mulch
#

hello hi

magic oasis
#

autumn i will take the first step to actually making a character and actually copy the character sheet

regal mulch
#

@craggy pulsar scav

magic oasis
#

@warped ice fat man

craggy pulsar
#

Mate what?

magic oasis
#

it's not a bomb

#

it's uh

regal mulch
#

vc

magic oasis
#

a bomb maker

craggy pulsar
#

My discord is fucking up im sorry

#

I’m gonna restart my whole pc and see if that fixes it

magic oasis
#

name them pocket I.C.B.M

craggy pulsar
#

Take this while waiting

magic oasis
#

pocket ICBM is SO GOOD THOUGH

#

dude you NEED to try it with plasma shrimp

#

ATG vs plasma shrimp is just character dependant

#

but regardless, pocket ICBM literally triples damage output from missiles

#

@regal mulch what level do characters start at?

regal mulch
#

1

craggy pulsar
#

Ok my disc is realllly not wanting to work properly

#

Give me a few minutes

magic oasis
#

o ya can you ask if someone can stream for it @regal mulch

regal mulch
#

Omw home, be there in 10 mins.

#

Autumn character level?

#

1

#

@regal mulch

#

Kk

#

We already have someone making a gourm correct?

#

yes

#

Imma play Riv.

magic oasis
#

i may create a spearmaster

#

can't decide between them and monk for if i get selected another time

regal mulch
#

Flip a coin.

#

Tis what I just did. Lol

magic oasis
#

@regal mulch can i wiggleflight?

#

@regal mulch can scavengers fly like they can ingame?

#

scavengers don't wigglefly

#

they just spontaneously gain vertical momentum

#

also still need someone to stream so peeps can watch

regal mulch
#

I can when I get to the house.

magic oasis
#

thank

regal mulch
magic oasis
#

spearmaster it is

#

@regal mulch one gabriellion copies

#

if you play as spearmaster and take the overstuffed cheeks ability

#

does this allow you to store items

#

@craggy pulsar they go yellow

#

white -> yellow

#

@regal mulch when assigning the 10 points at level one, are those applied to stats or substats?

#

o

#

@warped ice they're more known to eat snails

#

okie

magic oasis
#

terrible idea i'm keeping for later

#

gourmand machinegun build

#

overstuffed cheeks + spray

#

you can decide to do 5d8 damage

warped ice
#

THATS AN INCREDIBLE IDEA WHAT DO YOU MEAN

magic oasis
#

yeah but

#

you destroy the items immediately

#

the real question is if it works with bile

#

because if it does, then you do
5d8 physical + 5d4 + 5 acid damage on a full spray

#

took a sample roll, and it did fourty one damage

FUN

magic oasis
#

yipee

verbal ferry
#

wooot woot

magic oasis
#

i have been thinking of spearmaster builds

warped ice
#

i cant wait to lose my arm :)

magic oasis
#

spearmaxxing

#

combat ready to hold 3 spears at once
cycle through all of the calcified spears

#

@regal mulch i have a question about spearmaster's violent separation adaptation

regal mulch
#

yeah

magic oasis
#

it says you "rupture" all your spears

regal mulch
#

yeah

magic oasis
#

does this mean you destroy them?

regal mulch
#

yep

magic oasis
#

so, you delete them from the map and get to make 3 new ones

regal mulch
#

yes

magic oasis
#

also important question

#

can spearmaster talk

regal mulch
#

yes

#

im not stopping people from doing that unelss they wanna

magic oasis
#

i enjoy body language

regal mulch
magic oasis
#

at least they have a mouth-

verbal ferry
#

i just realized

#

i completely forgot about explosive jump damage

regal mulch
#

its fine you would still be alive

#

also i would like to note for anyone making a homebrew species

#

@warped ice in particular

#

just use blessings instead of battery

#

say you have like +24 blessings

#

My homebrew is still very WIP as I haven't been actively working on it. slugimjust

warped ice
#

okeh

regal mulch
#

It will also take advantage of blessings btw Autumn.

#

sweet

#

Was originally going to use them even before you decided we might get rid of them.

magic oasis
regal mulch
#

we arent get rid of them anymore

#

theyre just a "some species use this" thing

verbal ferry
#

converted scav.

#

guardian

#

and levi.

magic oasis
#

tomorrow i will think of a personality proper and story

regal mulch
#

ok

verbal ferry
#

well im bored so

#

im gonna make another character im probably not gonna use

#

'fourfold the nightcat'

regal mulch
#

so according The List™️ next week would be uh

#

@magic oasis and @ember sentinel

magic oasis
#

hi

regal mulch
#

you available saturday 2pm pst

magic oasis
#

almost

#

i might be late that day

#

i become free on saturday at roughly 1-2 PM, but no guarantees

verbal ferry
#

so wait

#

i wont be able to play at all

#

damn.

#

ok

#

fair!

regal mulch
#

you will be able to

#

next time The List™️ rollls around

verbal ferry
#

mm

magic oasis
#

these are the stats i've made so far

#

as you can see, i like throwing

#

i'm unsure whether or not to use level 1 or level 2 stats (since the party did level up) so i do have stat dists ready for both scenarios

#

hope though is that with more adaptations, will be able to specialize further

regal mulch
#

i swapped allure and agility in the stats and actions section

#

to keep the mental and physical stats seperated

verbal ferry
#

wha

regal mulch
#

basically nothing changed

#

except some formating

#

also two adaps

#

fire hands and frost hands for blessings

verbal ferry
#

oh cool

#

well uh

verbal ferry
#

im playing rainworld rn

#

doing shaded citadel without a lantern on line of sight mod

magic oasis
#

Hell

regal mulch
#

actually even more importantly we should probably finsih slugcats first

#

@ember sentinel @magic oasis sorry for the ping again what slugcats do you wanna paly

magic oasis
#

spearmaster

regal mulch
#

ok good theyre done

ember sentinel
regal mulch
#

have you played RW before btw?

ember sentinel
#

Ive played a small portion with lilfoxyperson

regal mulch
#

good enough

magic oasis
#

we are going to spoil the entire game

ember sentinel
#

Ah thats fine

magic oasis
#

we are also going to spoil what slugcat says to the other slug cat

#

he says "it's time to rain world"

regal mulch
#

i have added so much non canon shit you wont be able to understand whats in game and not dw

magic oasis
#

autumn can we add the fog demons

regal mulch
#

no

magic oasis
regal mulch
#

OK QUESTION ABOUT LAST CAMPAIGN

#

SO I WAS LOOKING OVER THE MAPS FOR DESIGN INSPIRATION

verbal ferry
#

yes?

regal mulch
#

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE BLUE PEARL

#

DID YOU GUYS JUST LEAVE IT LAYING AROUND

magic oasis
#

did you forget to bring it with them as they changed maps?

regal mulch
#

no

#

i mean like

#

they gave it to the iterator right

magic oasis
#

cause i think the most likely thing that happened was that they just left it in that room

regal mulch
#

i dont think i ever said the iterator destroyed it or anything

magic oasis
#

they don't have it with them in this screenshot, and they went directly from the iterator's place to the final area before the void

#

so i think they did just leave it there

regal mulch
#

i do not use MS paint for the maps i just draw them in roll20

regal mulch
#

making the most banger battlemap rn

magic oasis
#

personality!

regal mulch
#

what

#

i am going to suffer so much if they go through every single pipe

magic oasis
#

nah

#

poor risk assessment

regal mulch
#

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

magic oasis
#

AMO

regal mulch
#

Autumn why

#

Lmao

#

it was an accident

#

i promise it isnt filtration system

#

number like

#

17

verbal ferry
#

ok.

regal mulch
#

IT ISNT

magic oasis
#

all the better to climb through

verbal ferry
#

i have a funny idea

#

what if scugs use a base 6 number system

regal mulch
#

they count in binary on their fingers

verbal ferry
#

dang

#

i was hoping for base 6 but ok

regal mulch
#

they need to count in binary so they can count how many slug the cat do they

magic oasis
#

if we use base six we can count up toooo...

#

lemme do the math rq

verbal ferry
#

i mean the thing is

#

we use base 10

#

10 fingers

magic oasis
#

91?

verbal ferry
#

6 fingers

#

91 is still a big number

magic oasis
#

i think...

#

i might be wrong though

#

lemme do a doublecheck online

#

yeah 91 is incorrect

#

it's much higher

#

118

#

1 + 4 + 16 + 32 + 64

#

no, that's not right either

#

63

regal mulch
#

i believe with binary a slugcat could count up to uhhh

magic oasis
#

1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32

regal mulch
#

32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1

#

yeah

#

so 63

magic oasis
#

obtained through the following

#

2^0 + 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^4 + 2^5

regal mulch
#

i just manually did it

magic oasis
#

i'm not very good with binary

verbal ferry
#

it's fine

magic oasis
#

i would say i'm non-binary, but i'm not enby so i can't make that joke

verbal ferry
#

other systems are weird to think about

regal mulch
#

they could also use 3 state finger binary

verbal ferry
#

or

regal mulch
#

which is not the right word but it gets the point across

verbal ferry
#

maybe like

#

if they were to develop actual math

#

base 6

#

while binary is used for most practical purposes

magic oasis
#

remember though

#

while humans have 10 fingers

regal mulch
#

yeah theyd use base 6 for any actual math but binary for general use

magic oasis
#

not all civilizations developed base 10!

verbal ferry
#

i am in fact aware

#

however

#

base 6 is also

#

extremely efficient

magic oasis
#

what if they count in the number of toe beans they have

verbal ferry
#

like really really fucking good compared to most other systems

regal mulch
magic oasis
#

what if they do

regal mulch
#

that would be awesome

magic oasis
#

that would be so cool

#

a slugcat that is fearless, but not through any real bravery

#

but rather because they're not good at telling what's dangerous or not

#

with that though i should probably take points out of perception and into will, maybe

regal mulch
#

maybe knowledge

#

instead of perception

#

perception is moreso just noticing things

#

not figuring out what they are

magic oasis
#

my knowledge is zero now

verbal ferry
#

"travis, we need to cook"

#

even though thats not his actual name

regal mulch
#

were adding bungus how will it work

magic oasis
#

if you skip your turn you get healed for 1 health

regal mulch
#

Yes.

#

Spend an action to bungus.

#

Spend a food pip to bungus for 1 turn.

#

yes

#

1 food pip to heal 1 hp to you and everyone around you

#

i would add another minor effect but its already pretty good

magic oasis
#

ok now make it an actual adaptation :)

regal mulch
#

i will

#

but im busy

magic oasis
#

You have achieved a strange sort of symbiotic relationship with a restorative fungus sensitive to movement. It can only produce its spores while still, absorbing some nutrition from its host in the process.
While idle, you may choose to spread healing spores that restore 1 HP to yourself and allies within melee distance, at the cost of 1 food pip.

regal mulch
#

bungus with 2 players

magic oasis
#

wungus

#

You have achieved a strange sort of symbiotic relationship with a restorative fungus sensitive to movement. It can only produce its spores while at high speed, It absorbs some nutrition from its host in the process, however its heavier spores prevent its effects from benefiting anyone other than the host.
When you roll using agility, you may choose to spread healing spores that restore 2 HP to yourself, at the cost of 1 food pip. Cannot affect other creatures.

regal mulch
#

Love it

#

ok i think i know how to make adaptations

#

pick your favorite game item and just blatantly steal it

#

we could also reflavor the bungus to cost blessings

#

Simply bungus spell

#

Bringing back rites to everyone.

#

it would be an adap

#

since this is pretty good

#

4 x PM x APM to 12 x PM x APM health

#

PM being party members

#

APM being party members with the adap

#

so an average party (5 members) at level 1 would get up to 20 health if only one person had it

#

and at level 10 it would be 60 health

#

should it be 2 blessings per heal then?

#

You're going to have to explain that math a little more. Brain is exploding.

#

How much healing per member?

#

Or how much healing does each member get?

#

how much total healing

#

across the whole party

#

each member would only get 4 to 12 healing

#

I figured it would just be a set healing number for each person.

#

which by itself isnt broken but full party might be super good

#

and we might want to limit this to saint but edited

#

maybe just like

#

Saint is missing their species adaps

#

you can place a thing for blessings that you can use an action to heal everyone nearby

#

So it'd be good for that.

#

yeah

#

healing totem basically

#

You talked about Saint being support, so it'd be a good ability for them.

#

i think how itd work is something along the lines of like

#

you can expend up to all of your blessings and heal everyone nearby equal to that much

#

moving it takes an action, getting rid of it takes an action, but placing it you can heal at the same time

#

to keep the idea of positioning

#

or we could just have it center on you to compliment your mobility

#

i like the wungus a lot will make a great adap

#

and could also allow a lot of other adap ideas

#

"doing X action lets you do X thing"

#

actually idea for saint

#

basically give them the guidance cantrip from dnd

#

let them use an action to add a d4 to someone elses attack roll

#

no cost

#

if anything that should be their default

#

monk could get the exact opposite instead

#

d4 to next reaction

#

could also be will instead of d4

regal mulch
#

I forget, who is the 3rd permanent member @regal mulch? Intikus?

#

other autumn

#

botmancer

#

Bot gotcha

#

what do you think about my saint idea though

#

Monk was defense Saint was support, correct?

#

Autumn

#

What check would you use to land spitting acid

#

@regal mulch

#

finesse probably

#

and yes thats right

#

That's what I thought

regal mulch
#

d4 is pretty strong

#

but you cant attack at all

#

i think its fine

#

since its worse than just 2 attacks most of the time

#

we could also add a combat option

#

say like

#

expend blessings when you attack someone with your fists or tounge to deal additional damage

#

1 blessing 1 damage

magic oasis
# regal mulch "doing X action lets you do X thing"

jedi mind tricks
while making any allure related check, you may wave your hand as you speak
this will immediately force the check to succeed. Works once per cycle
(do not add this, it's horribly overpowered)

verbal ferry
#

imagine having one that lets you xray through walls

#

since karma lets you go past barriers in the base game

magic oasis
#

What

#

new adaptation /j
sandbox
once per session, you may control a sandbox overseer
you can do anything
for one turn

verbal ferry
#

okok i think i got an idea for how it'd work

#

pretty much

#

you see a plane shaped area infront of you

#

as in a 2d plane

#

you may observe it for a few seconds

#

and may change the lighting as you please.

#

the plane may be rotated in any way you want

#

and essentially

#

you see the space contained inside of it

#

distance from you is essentially vertical in this form of vision

#

ie: further away objects appear higher up

#

while left and right are simply for the axis purpendicular to distance

#

this could potentially let you accidentally do shit like see the organs of enemies

magic oasis
#

call them glyphcross-rays

verbal ferry
#

ok uh

#

i have now come up with a very dumb idea

#

converting that effect into a poison of sorts

#

produced by an enemy idea

#

'feather moss'

regal mulch
#

go on

verbal ferry
#

it has 7 tiers of poison upon either touching or consuming it.

#

(it can float to move around btw)

#

first tier simply causes your vision to go all rainbowy and melty, causing disadvantage on perception checks.

#

tier 2 is where it gets interesting.

#

your vision phases through objects

#

meaning you see things in 3d.

#

as if you were a 4d being.

#

tier 3 makes it so at the start of any 'turn', you have to flip a coin

#

you either get advantage or disadvantage against any moving objects or creatures

#

because your perception of time gets warped.

#

also you can nolonger reliably keep track of time

#

tier 4 gives you disadvantage on all mental checks, due to a splitting headache.

#

tier 5 makes it so that whenever you perform an action, you must make a check or the action just fails

#

tier 6 adds damage onto the penalty

#

and tier 7 just kills you instantly

#

these things are literally just fuzzies from yoshi's island except they make you see into the 4th dimension and then melt your brain

regal mulch
#

just this part

verbal ferry
#

oh yeah

#

another idea i had

#

poison resistance adap

regal mulch
#

not gonna be relevant imo since its gonna be rare

#

like

verbal ferry
#

also yeah the entire point of this thing is to encourage putting points in will

regal mulch
#

spitter spiders ig

verbal ferry
#

well this thing produces poison

#

maybe bigspiders or wormgrass?

#

we dont know if they use poison or not

regal mulch
#

probablyn ot

verbal ferry
#

i feel like big spiders might

#

and wormgrass does slow you down overtime

regal mulch
#

what do we call the wungus adap

verbal ferry
#

mm

#

regenerative fungi

#

or spores

#

like he suggested

#

but uhh

#

if it was actually, a name. . .

#

recovery spores?

#

maybe fungal recovery

#

or fungal healing

#

fungal healing could work!

#

also

#

tbh all the dungeons felt a little, samey

#

i feel like maybe areas of extreme darkness versus light

#

or more flora

#

could really add a lot

regal mulch
#

itll show up at some point

verbal ferry
#

right

#

i had another somewhat simpler poisonous flora idea

#

stinkleaf

#

purplish wide flowers which unleash toxic upwards travelling spores upon being exposed to loud noise

#

would generally be found in big pits and what not

#

so making too much sound risks taking a lot of damage

#

because inhaling the spores causes, damage

#

based on tolerance of course

#

tbh i feel like the defensive stats need a bit more use

#

same with allure

#

(although that might just be our playstyle!)

magic oasis
#

the enemy can't hit you if you're dead

#

they also can't hit you if they're dead

regal mulch
#

defensive stats are well

#

used every time you make a reaction

#

so theyre kind of important

#

tolerance/will are more build based

verbal ferry
#

mm ok
