This was inspired by art by Drew Shields who does real cool calliope-esque art and I'm using as heavy reference for the looks of the character :)

My players are starting Chapter 4, and will be heading to ||Boltzman ||to continue their investigation. One of my players just got hold of an NHP (Didymos-class, named Hugin & Munin). When they ||breach the lower mine, I presume that they will freak out like Siren does||. Any suggestions on how to do that in a suitably creepy way?

west phoenix
#

it werfs nebels

I'm concerned about not removing the NHP's utility while still keeping that mood alive...

#

I totaly didn't see that!

#

thanks

west phoenix
#

didymos and creepy go hand in hand imo

#

i feel like just to be able to do that you gotta peer behind the veil

quaint narwhal
#

Agreed. The player decided that they manifested as two ravens that like to sit on the shoulders of his pilot seat. I loved the idea of each of them being a sort of Shoulder Angel\Demon thing for the two possible timelines they manifest.

#LichBeLichin

west phoenix
#

thats so cool omg

#

i am still tempted to toss the bunpoleon aside just to get a didymos nhp buddy, but i think serenity is very HA pilled rn

# keen sentinel how long did it take the party to apprehend him

4 rounds to win the sitrep, ||the score was drastically in the players favor to the point where the remaining two rounds would not have mattered||, all but one enemy was able to retreat. ||S1GN4L is neither dead or captured, and depending on how the game goes I will likely reinsert him into the plot||

Its the journey not the destination

shell bison
#

I don't think total session count has any real positive or negative to it since some groups could finish off quite quickly if they are very objective focused and less rp inclined

west phoenix

We are cringe nae nae rp babies

#

My favorite sessions are the ones where we don't engage with the objective at all and just chill

#

Serenity being gaslit that fantasy creatures just exist elsewhere in the galaxy as pets is unironically an important part of her character now

#

But at least that was AFTER ||we finished talking to Loki and nyambose; the whole party saved her life essentially and then started arguing about cowboy hats like damn y'all give it a sec|| ch2 send in the clowns spoiler

#

I do like max and I's ability to riff about fake movies and music that exists in Calliope, it's always pretty funny

clever cloud
#

Atom's obsession with old timey propaganda films was my favorite part of that character

#

you could justify anything

shell bison
#

I think some of my all time favorite rp bits from that first campaign was
"Bun ears being yanked so Char pulls a gun on a team mate."
"Discussing the possible intelligence of vent crabs while it was armed with a screwdriver trying to stab people."
"You're staring at my tail? Proceeded with, "sorry I'm gay"

west phoenix
#

One of our players was so delirious from his covid vaccine and cough syrup that he lost it and started talking about how he NEEDS to protect serenity and we all decided that it was 100% in character

shell bison
#

I also find it incredibly funny that in lancer servers I play Charlotte in people always get the notion to get modded like she is. I never endorse this but it's funny it's happened so much that it's in the double digits now.

# clever cloud Calliope is a dope ass setting to just exist in

When I first read the field guide our GM handed out to us and heard the intro to the first mission, I knew I would be in for a ride. "Welp, just another day in hell!" The daily struggle to get by with what little you have, the constant danger you are exposed to, and yet... Humanity finds a way. We adapt. We create. And even in the darkest hours, we find a bit of comfort within the chaotic ocean

# shell bison No way! Oh you got to tell me about this setting!

Tentative title is "Lost on Arrival", setting is an isolated system that exists in blinkspace, colonized by a lost fleet of IPS-N that got lost during their transfer of their shipyards from Cradle to Carina in the 3000s. So the system has been isolated for over 2000 years. Basically an idea of "What happens to IPS-N without the constraints of ThirdComm"

No longer edgy burn out baby; she is learning to appreciate the good she is doing and embracing her captain/Intel role

hushed pilot

Fritz is still tired but at least he knows by now that he can rely on his team if he should fall (as in, he f**ks up, they pick him back up). Still a mess, but a bit less so

west phoenix
#

Tbh it just wasn't vibing with the party and my mental state at the time was just rubbing off in a way I'm not really happy with; but I do like the character development and it leans closer to what I wanted from the character to begin with

west phoenix
#

Tldr (ch1-ch2 spoilers) ||she experienced mass death first hand in the first combat of the session; before she's only done defense/Intel operations and along with getting nuked for two structures it made her very shaken. At the same time she was confronted with the morality of her black and white views of pirates and how she saw them as just bad people. Turns out, on the inside we're all the same! Literally and figuratively. At the same time this changed her views on calamity and saw her for who she really was, someone who was lost just like serenity was. Through that and becoming very close to dating (everyone thinks they're dating and I'm not sure if either serenity or calamity fully accept that they probably should lmao) and her party helping her through that she came out on the other side for the better. In chapter 2 she has been much more lively and open and is learning that the job requires you to take some people out- but she focuses more on the tactical side of it where she shines and has shown herself as a competent squad leader and analyst. Excited to see where she goes finishing up ch2 and going into ch3 :3||

She might treat it like a dragon would treat their sona

#

"yeah, I'm a wolf, but you know the archaeological record doesn't show real wolves, just people's OCs. Like those protogens."

#

genuinely like "yeah in a few places you might see a wolf but they are engineered based on mythological record"

west phoenix
#

All wolves are GMOs, this is known

errant vault
#

"i wish wolves where real like how horses arn't"

hybrid salmon
#

seriously, though, what if people genetically engineered dragons or protogens just because they could, and they became the dominant fauna on their planets

west phoenix
#

I mean with dragons yeah I'd say so lol

#

You created a bigger dinosaur that can fly and breathe fire, I think no ecosystem could handle that

#

But because they'd be so dominant they probably wouldn't be seen that often because the ecosystem couldn't feed a bunch of them

#

Sorry I'm an ecology nerd nerdcat

clever cloud
#

predator overfeeds and dies off

hybrid salmon
#

oof, rip dragons

clever cloud
#

the 20 or so dragons per planet who can survive

hybrid salmon
#

still, they win over our hearts

west phoenix
#

I mean on earth I think they'd do fine where megafauna is, but it's an alien planet who TF knows

hybrid salmon
#

one of my characters has a megafauna planet in her backstory! (She's a kinda SSC genetic pincushion - working with an experimental mod based off of the planets' fauna's distributed nervous systems. Each of her organs and muscles is vaguely sentient independently, which jacks up her situational awareness and reaction times and precision movement. Was meant as a rat, but might turn into a mammoth mouse now that we have them.)

#

and pain threshhold, there's a list I made

twilit star
balmy obsidian
#

The difference is that dragons are real

twilit star
#

If youjwere to genetically engineer a dragon, they probably wouldn’t be able to fly if they were big and dangerous, and they’d probably be like Discworld Dragons if they could fly

hybrid salmon
#

Some ideas on how to build on this:
You always keep moving. You're capable of holding your body still, but this requires focus. (Less stimming, more constant objective focus) Sleepwalking is just a fact of life.
Concussions are bad, but nowhere near as bad in the moment, as all your parts are still thinking perfectly fine. Pain and the mental lockdown it causes, is similarly isolated to your head and the affected body part, although a taser, for instance, will take you down the same way.
Your reaction time is impeccable, in an instinctive way. The fur on the back of your neck can literally tell your legs to drop even before it has to touch your mind, and then your arms are already deciding to help you spring back up after the shot is fired.
Perhaps your senses are stronger - touch especially, to a point of touch sensitivity. Perhaps certain sensations are soothing while others are aversive.
Maybe you're stronger too, but in an overexertion way. When your arms decide to take one for the team and push harder than they should.

hybrid salmon
#

As a young bat, went to a science museum on a vacation, where there was an exhibit about how dinosaurs could have too slow reaction times at their extremities because they were so large. Popped back for this character, on a planet that has a different way of solving the problem.

west phoenix
#

That's a crazy theory lmfao

yeah i don't know if it's actually accurate, but it floated up???

I'll give you this with spoilers removed because it was funny

  • There is [relevant item] locked away behind a puzzle for 3rd graders that the team is entirely stumped by
  • The players have to roll checks to find the solution because they can’t figure it out while Matsci (GM) is giggling uncontrollably
  • Once the solution is revealed Quil (player & character) audibly goes “Oh fuck you”

errant vault
#

ancient game one of the oldest games of humanity you have probably played it and it takes a long time to win the standard configuration is 3 posts with 4 levels

thorn hinge
#

it's also a trivially solved game, even more simple than tic tac toe in terms of game theory

errant vault
#

it is utterly trivial however it always takes time

#

because every layer exponentially increases the time to solve

worthy root

make the players solve the Towers of Hanoi during combat, carrying plates in their mechs

That's a quick way of getting shot in the foot

#

It's literally a baby game. rings can never go on top of rings that are smaller, and they have to be moved one at a time. You start with the stack in one position, and need to move it to one of the other two.

With a little bit of playing you can discover that there's really only two choices at any given state. One that will lead to the stack ending up on each of the two other positions. which one you choose can be expressed mathematically: it takes 2^n -1 moves. For even n, move the first ring/disk to the wrong peg/position, for odd n, move the first ring/disk to the target peg/position.

Third pillar Promise first of its name was also destroyed at the end of mission 1, the scavenged parts were used to build TPP 1.2 Invader variant, which was a Chomolungma instead of an Everest, to Matsci's horror (ch2 spoiler) ||it made the Sunbird fight very fast and also very funny||

Otter is an extremely curious NHP planetary scientist and shuttle pilot from the Second Wave era whose ship was stranded in orbit of Chameleon 300 years ago
he was revived by ||the paracausal energy from the Tachyon's explosion||, which also made his shuttle able to transform into a mech
now he's trying to adapt to modern Calliope and maybe figure out more about ||what happened on the Tachyon||

we got the second set of questions today!

||
In the mirror is reflected the kind of person you could have been. Who do you see?
The mirror holds an ogre. Arms and chest bulked out by cybernetics, fine silk suit covering it all in a hand-tailored package. A fedora, pulled low to conceal eyes glowing in an etheral green. Gentle, refined, tamed.

There's a old-timey telephone on the mahogany desk in front of him, a direct line to the voice of god. The Tonton Macoute listen to it, the Milieu does, the Parrains do, even the CaĂŻd. Even Gaspard Sarasses himself - the Red Hand of God. Twenty-seven years in the Tonton Macoute before he deposed of the CaĂŻd that brought him into this world and took his place.

Grand Veymont was one of the most dangerous stations in the Rim now. Thanks to Sarasses and his cadre of chassis jockeys, nobody fucked with the Milieu anymore.

This is who the monster in the mirror could have become.

A CaĂŻd. A mob boss. A sovereign.

Alone.
||

||
In the mirror is reflected the kind of person you wish you were. Who do you see?
The mirror holds an ogre, and he holds someone else with him. A shining blue holographic form, braids and a puffy jacket, held close in a bear-hug.

And that's everything in the mirror. No ambitions, no grand goals.

Gaspard Sarasses and his daughter, safe and sound.

Together.

you think range can stop te unhinged swarm tactics of the SRT Star Fire Team?

I've seen these crazies 1d6+4 overcharge more times than a HA sherman

I will simply teleport anyone close to our artillery away

hoisting Serentiy up to the camera

She gets it!

Plus spotter house guard sal is gonna go crazy with our artillery, especially the monarch

clever cloud

yeaaaaa even with full arty, a Sal is gonna make me shoot every shot with 3-5 difficulties

You deserve this. Idk why, but you do

here comes my antagonistic GM arc

After last combat I thought you already entered it. I've never seen you want us dead that hard before lmao

But I guess Kyle and primo got the worst of it

You did very well at that

With my humble 1d3+1 weapon

better than my 1d3 weapon

that fight was hillarious tho. Jenny would break formation to not get smacked with Hades missilies and then 2 of yall would move up adjacent again

and then proceed to get smacked with a hades missile

It's a stack marker you have to stack to spread the damage out between everyone

#

Suddenly : bombards

west phoenix
#

I was literally trying to use infiltrator for it's intended purpose and they kept shoving me back into the fight

#

I used infiltrator for one fight since I've had it. I'm not gonna miss it lol

balmy obsidian
#

I had infiltrator for our very first mission before we switched to IGF and I also didn't use it. How am I supposed to hide when there are so many enemies that want to be BCL'd draclul

west phoenix
#

I was planning on going dusk wing at first so I was rocking ace and infiltrator

#

Ace came in clutch a lot, especially last combat, but infiltrator never did

#

Though even with 2 accuracies with ace and the sal shield I STILL failed all of my agility saves

clever cloud
#

Serenity is canonically just not agile

west phoenix
#

You forget that ||she managed to climb the fence and slide through a small opening to deepest fairyland when it was after hours|| ch2 spoilers

#

Glad I didn't go for it because I would have avoided probably the most important combat for her narratively, but it was very cool

This is why you have multiple hackers lol

never, considering the other party vaporized themselves in a muder-suicide attempt

Glad I got to make you feel stupid in combat instead of me feeling stupid for doing something risky

our current party consists of:

  • 2 melee blenders (an amber phantom and an enkidu)
  • 1 hacker (goblin)
  • 1 mid-backline support (turret and deployable focused gilgamesh)
  • 1 sniper/support (swallowtail)
    well, all soon-to-be, seein as they're still LL1

Teleporting that one squad member with the objective across the entire map made my, and serenity's, brain swell 3 times that day

#

Especially since I used Eleonor's NPC against her >:3

shell bison
#

hehehe

#

the teleporting brain worms

west phoenix
#

Canonically richboy is the reason serenity is sunzi pilled- seeing that in action and her creating that plan on the fly was like a "oh I can just do this all the time with this license can't I"

balmy obsidian
west phoenix

just make your gm deafen so they can't cheat :)

but what if we don't make the GM deafen, strategize in front of them and then goad them like "Go on, try to stop us" uWu

i straight up did a pushes up glasses and explains my master plan once she got into position
ch2 send in the clowns ||i waited until the giant got close to use and me and another chomo bcl'd it on to the ground as we waited for a party member, who was invisible thanks to loki and i, to peek around a corner. because the mirage ONLY needs line of sight to teleport and the giant had such a low e defense and system stat once loki had line of sight we teleported fixit like nearly 20 hexes to the other side of the battlefield and got out of there||

#

and once we get into LL2 combat i can just do that with hanchor hankor

also another thing I've realized is that GMS_GENERIC_BAR seems to be the defacto hangout spot for most of the other SRTs, but I don't think ours has done that - partially because my fixation on a particularly stupid YTP of the Yakuza 1 english dub resulted in us manifesting into existence a bar formerly owned by Andros Capella, which is now colliqually known as "That Bar Over There", but I have no idea if that's a seperate entity from GMS_GENERIC_BAR or not

clever cloud
#

wow i really thought that bar over there was canon xD

keen sentinel
#

If enough people manifest it into existence, then it can be

#

(I don't know if Andros canonically used to be a bar owner either)

he used to hang out of a specific bar for years as the hell hounds grew

Leviathans usually seem to end up in their hangar or the Happy Noodle I've noticed. Not that Fritz doesn't drown his paracausal-related sorrows at the GMS_G_B but our resident nerds like the HORUS hangout, and Sam and Quil seem more food-oriented than drink, doesn't help that they're both fairly resistant.

Idk why but Half Life VR AI fits perfectly with the vibes of In Golden Flame

thursday evening it happens

knowing my group they like to take their time so I doubt they will get to ||A Face To A Name||

but who knows

we were also nervous as hell and i think thats the first time we actually like locked in and acted like a squad. straight up breaching and clearing and peeking corners

and it was the only time my personalization came into play and it still didn't do anything :)

I've asked this before in #909574961931362365, but didn't get a reply - does anyone have a map asset/token for ||the Spire in Pressure Point/The Swarm|| in Mission 4? I know I've seen one somewhere before, but can't find it anywhere.

#

(If you have an answer, please ping me - I don't know when exactly I'll be able to check this channel.)

check the pins in here for the IGF resources sheet. In there, Al has some top tier maps for all of Act 1 and parts of Act 2

Like a specific tile in the map?

yeah
a specific tile for ||the giant spire of corpses and wrecked mechs||

This is purely coincidence but i found out i was trans while watching HL:VRAI

purely coincidence

balmy obsidian

I am now wondering how that happened

tame tide

Why do you need it?

fossil lion
# tame tide Why do you need it?

i'm planning on running ||Pressure Point later today
in terms of choosing a map for it/The Swarm, i'm mixing up the format and adapting to the movable-terrain gimmick and avoiding the problem of adapting stuff from hex grids by building the base map myself. that said, that means i need to be able to place the terrain on top of that base map. i can find stuff for misc. rocks and mining equipment fine, but the spire is giving me trouble||
