It is hands down top five in my entire collection
I've heard from Ad Ric that the audio book is VERY good. Not normally an audiobook guy but I am a podcast guy so I'm sure to do well with it
I'm also heading to bed. I appreciate y'all
Night Meow!!!!!
Gnight!
The fella who voices it gives different voices and tones to each character some sound effects and a explicit tone to the action that it all just flows together magnificently
this right here using his direct audio from the scene (Minus the Opera music) for it
yee was good bit there.
their relationship is so heart wrenching actually brought tears to my eyes a few times
I'm trying to think if any other 40k books have got me in my emotions other than Gaunt's Ghosts...
That is a great series that one
I need to listen to that
If ya want another good book
Lion son of the forest is also good
Ahh yep I've heard good things about that one as well!
Like Infinite and the Divine not really attached to different characters
And a great story
Sounds like you're on to a great start!
yeah
only the grandmas joined today
other two were unable to make it
was very fun
it's only been one session but i love Human Eeyore
Misread this as booba acquired and my brain stuttered
babies when they're hungry
awake again, hello
see? i'm not the only one who misreads stuff
hello leonard
hello seraph

Late to convo but from my knowledge its basically that most NPCs require downloading separate LCPs or purchases. And if youre buying an adventure you should be able to run it as is and not have to rely on further purchases
The current act 2 draft contains content from other 3rd party books, lancer enhanced combat and Legionnaire for sitreps and templates, despite the legionnaire fight being cut in yhe most recent draft. However all relevant info was in the appendix, so you didnt need to get the other books
It's like "Thanks for spending twenty bucks on igf, now buy these other lancer sourcebooks lmao"
meanwhile without other npcs you just need the core rulebook
well I just woke up and nothing's set on fire! :D
Banger indeed, also... grandma squad? 👀
we're all old
well, most of us are old
like one woman's subjective 130 (real time 200)
hell's gate's fate lies in the hands of grumpy milfs
HOOOLY!
honestly? that's kinda badass
Very Gerson Core
three milfs and our daughter who is an oracle of a god
and also one other person but i have no idea what her deal is so uhhh
lol
surprise deals heh
But yes, grandma isn't crotcheting with nelson's lance or baking with sherman's laser
They here to teach ya a lesson
well i actually do run the hell's gate library
-# Oh now that's neat!
my PC's technically the "youngest" of the grandmas since subjectively i'm only 80
she's also the newest of the three to hell's gate

Omg
In the humble opinion of the council (tm)
What is the best mech for CQB?
Yes
Damn
whatever grabs the daisy cutter /j
it depends on what exactly you want to do i think
Nelson, Raleigh, tortuga, störtebeker, vlad, caliban, metalmark, mourning cloak, viceroy, white whitch, balor, manticore, ghengis, tokugawa, enkidu, everest, sagamartha and chomolungma
And you could probably prove to me more fit
Any mech that can pick up a shotgun, a krakatoa, a dsas, etc and can do something good with it is good with CQB
Whether thats be a speedy shit, be bulky af, cheat and use a gandiva as a shotgun, is good as CQB
Lancers modular, anything can work
tagetes with daisy cutter
Good to know good to know
Now another question, what's good for a sniper build?
Since i don't know all of the system any help can be of help
Goblin works well with shotguns.
Death's head is seen as THE sniper frame (sit and shoot) but there are definitely other options
Raleigh can be good thanks to its reload ability
Yeah, i was planning on going death's head on LL2 because of that, but im gonna write that down
If you stretch the definition of sniper a bit then monarch is one of the best frames for it
And don’t forget about the Pegasus
tagetes and death's head are p good snipers
the barbarrossa is technically a sniper
Barbarrossa decides that distance is just a suggestion
Not many weapons have massive ranges but there are tricks to get them there
Also, morning Calliope 🌅
god damn it Juli haha
grandmas haven't had their coffee yet, so no dice
and yeh, morning!
Everytime someone says "goddamn it Juli" i grow more powerful
heck
good timezone calliope
Heya!
Regarding evil bnnuy, this was suggested by Void lol
or are they gonna fight?
Who's gonna win? All of us watching
I am sad to inform the yuri community that they are genetically closer to being sisters
this changes nothing
I UTTERLY FORGOT ABOUT THE OTHER ONE BEING A CLONE
how bad is selfcest, really
now... i could say something that would make you all cancel me
Oh no
I could agree with said canceling statement
🤝
pfff jlsadljkaskdlj
Self love is one of the most important things 
-# only a coward wouldn't fuck themselves
look, all I'm saying is, i look at the mirror and I like what I see
that's a big step!
I'm a coward
we knew
wow thanks eleonor
pls do not the jerry
He can't take it he'd die
don't worry, my PC was happily married
"that isn't necessarily an obstacle"
you people seem to not understand the "was"
Galactic divorce
but you said to not worry about it...
yeah, cuz she will
Divorce from life
-# More of an outliving? :c
how many times are my bits going to accidentally reveal people as widows...
i don't think my GM's gonna let me off that easy
Okay back to the previous statement do NOT the Jerry
ok maybe the jerry
Oh shit-
if you're really really careful
be very very careful?
the absolute most jerry can handle is a smooch on the forehead
Would the Jerry
Damn
anything more risks fatal injury
even hugging risk fatal injury?!
I'm afraid so...
Lucero: "Oh god what have I done!?!" Rushes with medkits
Jerry gets the purrito
hugging would fracture all his bones
"i was born with glass bones and paper skin..."
Jerry goddamnit
He looks so sad
It makes me feel that things in my life are not that bad
Wet dog kind of sadness
he's Human Eeyore
Eeyore?
The sad donkey from Winnie the Pooh
I always thought he was named igor
i would be so unnerved
no that's way too much
kiss him on the lips, that's more manageable
woah now
oh heavens!
i was told that on the scale of intimacy, horehead kiss is above lip kiss
What if we kissed inside ||Jerry's sherman||
you mean ||the one that doesn't exist?||
Indeed
... ok I am now wondering how many people got caught sharing a mech cockpit-
Are you a Manipulators pilot, or an Expanded Compartment pilot?
Im a manipulative pilot
custom paint job maxxer over her 
Definitely I am more of a size 2 mech fellow
AND IF THERE WAS ANOTHER SIZE 3 MECH
I would too
Damn
fomorian frame's right over there, my friend
The who and what con que perdón?
huh
Se puso a hablar voladores del asombro
Fomorian Frame is an IPS-N core bonus that raises your frame's size by 1, max of 3
-# I wish i watched more Dora the Voladore when i was little kid...
I forgot it was a core-
Pelado significa bald
I look away to make breakfast and you are all selfcesting ship Char with her evil clone
Y'all are down horrendous

Leo and Meow

What's the difference from a normal wendy's

Also probably is owned by IPS-N
good enough for me
here you go my
friend
Actually true though 
Yaaaaaai

shhh

NO LA MUFES
Don't make me tap the sign
there are too many signs i don't know which one you mean...
just point at the sign
looks like multiple IGF games going on today, as Leviathans are getting into act 2 today as well
aah but the question is... Who's in the family photos? You or your evil clone?
-# if i add to this bit anymore I'll lose all my good reputation here so I'll shut up
It's you, unless you invite them in to take more!
let's goooo leviathans!
it more so follows me
anyways i made a good ass latte with my new espresso machine along with a nice breakfast to prep for the game today
Oooh that sounds like a lovely start to the morning!
Damnit meow
God damnit Juli
oh god

it's great!
hissss
wear 5kg of sunblock like i do
It feels icky
ew
I'll just get burnt, thank you very much 
fine... I'l find some sunscreen that feels nice on my skin then...
there's currently a brown algae bloom that's washing up ashore and all the tourists are claiming is toxic
it's very very funny to see that panic
i love the sun but i hate being outside
unless it was like, secluded
i'm not as white as i claim i am and you can really see once i actually get sun
I misread again
-# i don't even know what's there to be misread...
leo what the hell are you on?!
someone preemptively dogweird him

my chair
I read "I love the sun but I hate being outside, unless i was like, seduced"
don't mind me I might have dyslexia at this point
:doge_weird:
join the gang! 
I wish that someone would seduce me so I could enjoy the outside 😔
well I do like the british
hi(?)
i'm not sure what to do with this information but you need to go outside
-# waow... Leo's Anglo-sexual /j
Oh gosh wonderful sight!
But Meow! You barely knew her!
our bits are getting out of control today...
idk based on how long I've been here seems about par for the course. Mornin yall happeh saturday
Hello KishkaTheMoth

we love clown car builds
the wife is going for iconclast build with her mech being named "Hell's Moving Castle"
it would be Hilarious if she adds every possible NHP NPC to her build like some sort of katamari ball
She's certainly trying! I think is on track for 4? Icono, techno, lucifer, and agni
Worldkiller genghis, heavy flame usage/ dragon motifs
[GM spoilers] ||those flame motifs are going to become golden flames by the end of CH1||

ah yes... the "we're actually playing 40k today" party comp
drones can be cable winched
i will say, i've always found it weird that you can't just automatically disable your own cable winches

Oh yeah I've been using your maps so far as well they've been working great! A thousand thank yous to thee

this mirage isn't making it out chat
i got a teammate structured to deal with it it would have happened anyways
he could have stablized
counterpoint: dash + skirmish + overcharge skirmish
its okay we're GMS with 6 rep caps :)
scary
Scary
i know everyone hates me but i was immediately vindicated when it turned invisible next turn
Nu
I am no longer preventing bad plays, I am optimizing them
If you call them creative solutions they're no longer bad plays I'd say
awwww shiet happy to help hahahaha
Lancer tomorrow!
Yippee!
I wish lancer tomorrow :-:
One day you will hehe
Lancer next week?
heheh i managed to end my session on a spooky semi cliffhanger
I'm asking this GM to GM:
exactly how spooky is this cliff hanger...
It's ||Crone related|| ch3
hooting and hollering rn
[Chapter 3]||I've thrown ERROR at the party during chapter 2||
HUH
||she turned up to chat with tarben at the tube station when he was getting groceries in order to trap him in a time bubble for 2 weeks in order to save his life||
Chat, we might be so cooked
Which is weird why this is happening since [REDACTED] kind of did Char a solid here
ohhhhhhh?
i simply do not need to ||comprehend the incomprehensible if i kill it||
[GM spoiler] ||what the fuck did your players do to derserve TWO ULTRA'S IN ONE CHAPTER||
||I only made it an elite in this particular incarnation||
archie was about to interrogate some goon (maybe with electroshock therapy :3 ) and then ||omega satan|| shows up so they just tuck them into a box
||now that you say it they do deserve a second ultra tho||
||Turbo Beelzebub||
Archie, please stop being the worst
thats not just archie thats just me
meow's trying to make me make the enemy be a T3 ultra
THAT WAS A JOKE
uhuh
stop bullying the cat pls
no i deserve it
i'm just never taking my turn until people tell me to
i got finley structured and immediately became public enemy #1
To be fair, you both have done it to each other now
yeah but still, i feel bad about it
i think he probably would have structured regardless but i didn't want the operator to be invisible
It depends if he stabilized or not. Regardless, we still won and just need to work on a bit more team play is all. No worries
We're Creative Solutions now
We don't make bad plays c:
yippeeeee
smashing that mirage ||against the wall|| while shocking them and laughing maniacally was great
I now fear for your love life partners
same goon btw
goon alright
-# godiwishthatwasme
WHO SAID THAT
damn are we gonna need to give you a play-by-play on ari and [chapter 3]||elske||'s meeting?
goddamit meow
😳
wren can attest that i was cackling like a gremlin as i sent that
yup
I don't think ari has conceptualised the idea of ||being pet on the head by a taller woman and called a good girl|| and I hope it kills her.
Ari's love life is enrichment for this chat actually
and me. i need to hook her up
team play? I'm sure if we all just keep doing our own uncoordinated things we'll be fine I believe in us
if she shows an interest in anyone archie will immediately become a wingman
yeah tbh i was trying to do what i thought was the right thing :\
good heavens
i guess it being cool and stupid was in character though
actually yes for me
lancer tonight
We Iskander our way through everything!
yooooo big lancer weekend for all hell yeah!
(I'll get back to your arses once it finishes)
Ughh I gotta wake up at 7 am on a weekend tomorrow... but its worth it... for lancer
not for me 
next week tho
:D
come on you know it's next
awww your time will come soon friend
Imma make a sitrep for you to practice as well

we don't have lancer because hipo is evil and hates us /j
boot up right now
ahsdhahhdsa take your time 
glhf fellow pilot 
oh I'm dming but I take the luck anyway!
glhf fellow dm
(?
Running a catch up sess for a player who missed the end of chapter 1 (and subjecting him to time based imposter syndrome since he wants lich stuff) and session zero for my second campaign
Evil
Creative Solutions have already lancered for the night!
that's a great name
shall i tell them what our resident german did
ah shit i can't tell most of them its a spoiler
tell us, we are forgetful as we are joyous
You haven't even met jerry yet
do it for him
you'll know when you've earned the title 
tl;dr our german went into a very dangerous area to grapple an operator and drag them back to us like a mom pulls a child by their ear. that operator soon blew up in front of him. we came up with the name "creative solutions" because we had to figure out how to get him back to us because he was dead set on killing this guy. glad he did, we wiped the enemy out that was specifically gunning it for finley
oh hell yeah
the one goon who survived saw his spec ops squad nuke themselves and the other getting crushed
the operator ended up completing their aura farming by teleporting in front of two party members, staring them dead in the eyes, passing their turn, and letting their reactor go critical - resulting in a 4d6 damage explosion on top of the normal operator self erasure.
the whole spec ops squad was aura farming and archie was having none of it
though finley did get his ass kicked 
did they have clones or something to be aurafarming that hard?
one of them was literally named "grinch" how are you gonna aura farm and act cool with a name like that
the grinch is very cool mind you
not anymore, i have them dangling upside down with ferrous lash
Naana, I have a feeling that a lot of this campaign is gonna make you make this exact face
what in tarnation
i saw something spooky before i saw it in eleonor's game 😔 being in two games is hard and i was worried this would happen
its what i looked liked after reading it
dont worry, i thrive in chaos
i dont
Don't worry Meow
that just gives Eleonor more ammo to make things even spookier
i don't know anything about it but ||error took form of serenity's mech, like human serenity's mech for a moment. i was jumpscared||
like leave vulpertinger out of this 
||if AU serenity finds out what she becomes in another universe she is going to be repulsed. i've said that serenity would hate archie||
leviathan update : everything is on fire
Update: || Shit's fucked||
.....What are yall doin
(act2) ||We just got through the introduction and ended the session on "which of the four missions are we going for first"||
Status report: ||they be fucking our house again||
Wat
i do mean act 2 not mission 2 which is different
||Which you thinking of doing?||
||fuck steele||
LET'S GOOOO
Also i got to use the Pierce the gate bond power to spy on (act2) ||capella and ignatius|| and then thanks to unveil learnt the interesting factoid that ||ignatius is scared of losing control of the cult to capella.|| eager to try and leverage that maybe one day
I do like calling out that Guy on his bullshit
Gray meanwhile is planning an entire out of body experience arc and i am scared

This robot is evil
anthrochauvinist 🫵
Tumbledrier isn't enough anymore. I need an industrial blender
How am i an anthrochauvinist 
calling them evil just because they want to do something silly
No I'm calling them evil because they are
leo is now a bigot? it never ends with these humans...
The only thing i see is an intense desire for tumbler dryers the indominable spirit of a lancer
I am not a bigot I like the robots just as much as anyone else 
This one just also happens to be evil
Is that hank madness
Ye i was originally looking for the gif where hank finds the beeg blender but this has more whimsy lol
this is a net positive
tbh i am deeply worried about playing a morally grey and annoying, troublesome character. i feel like i'm already getting on people's nerves but idk if thats just a me thing or what
SAME
no vacco its Silly ≠ Evil
Meow there's a difference between your character being morally grey and you as a player. I think Pixel was just a little upset loosing 2 structure which, as a striker happens. You're fine, don't you worry none
Ah sorry JUli 
eh it's not just that but yeah that's bothering me too
but i appreciate you still, sorry for all the other times i got on your nerves too
tfw an emotional scene is happening and we just eating fries and having milkshakes in the background
@hearty whale @balmy obsidian
-# leo its like 5 am over there if you answer this ping i swear to ra
lmao
Apology accepted. Just try to keep doing a little better.
-# I unfortunately live in the central timezone
unfortunate
Mfw being team dad and team lead means I have to be part of the emotional stuff and can’t enjoy milkshakes and fries.

MIlkshakes is the ambrosia of da gods
I did offer you fries afterwards, and you walked away lmao.
Oh I missed that

While I agree, inspirational dad therapy sesh is chicken noodle for the soul
Both are very good
I do adore the "salt shaker of speaking" moment that happened.
Act 2 part one: ||loki and Ipswich|| got into a heated argument so Sam tried to get an answer to “what the hell is going on in here.” When they both started talking over each other he pulled them both to a table, sat them down, grabbed a salt shaker and deemed it the talk shaker.
Things went smoothly after that
XD
honestly pretty good solution to that
Former dad, he’s had to break up his fair share of fights.
Had 3 sons that fought like hell
lol
It’s really funny how much of his old family life trained him for this group of misfits
It’s been great
Some people just be really well adjusted to their situation hahah
Or are just very adaptable
I'm imagining that he just grabbed them by the scruff and they went limp like kittens do
||he’s a “failed” ssc biological experiment attempt at creating a super soldier. He absolutely could do that to them. He didn’t, but could have.||
I love the dad trope
Used it a bit with the Shitty Dad type for Rook, but it was really fun
||Calliope coincidence strikes again... My PC in bunzi's game is also a failed ssc project...||

Must resist the spoilers
Vacco, i think you can click these two spoilers
I got a little freaky with the landing page for tomorrows catch up session
promise? 🥺
they're not IGF related just backstory
Not gonna spoiler because it's specific to one of my players
AYYYYyyyYYYY ||same with Juli with being SSC biological clone of some famous fella||
oh this ROCKS
also Iskandering finished
lots of blinks, lots of nades
lots of 1's
And we left 2/4... but we got 'em
-# hold on kishka i just noticed the bionicle...
somehow i forgot that a bionicle is just in there with all the standard sprites
yeah theres some interesting options in there
Indeed, so much to choose
It's all fun and games until (Act2)||Ipswitch's|| emotional speech about not having made their own choices causes you to start eating fries and milkshakes in the background (melancholy mode). (Backstory)||Quil's a KTB noble, you can guess he's had a lot of decisions made for him. His body's been biomodded, his education, his appearance, all optimised. And he's got some kind of time loop/looped simulation situation going on, so any decision he does make is 'watered down' by all the other hims||
Even after waking up I'm still a little proud of myself for making Seal in Blood work immediately after getting it. Made a deal with (act 2)||Odin|| that he can't coerce ||Loki or Ipswitch|| beyond just talking to them.
In character though no idea what I did because bond powers are strange and do not come with instruction manuals.
sometimes you need milkshakes and fries to gulp down the emotions
also morning Calliopean Scrimblos
how's the day treatin' ya?
gud
about to GM (ch1) ||The fight against Andros|| in three minutes, very hyped
SOMEONE is gonna die today 
hehehe
GM spoiler
|| Make sure that either Siren or Jerry tells them to hold nothing, pop everything >:) Let them know Hell's Gate is loud||

Alright my team is through chapter 1.
(ch1 final fight) ||I kept forgetting how much self heat the pyro flamethrower dealt, and also the existence of the firebreak shield, so they punished my sins by stressing andros twice and causing him to meltdown. I also missed a horrible number of attacks with the berserker by also especially with the breacher who i managed to hit a grand total of 3 attacks with the entire fight, including a double tap on the very last round before i lost.||
sometimes the dice want another thing
I will have my revenge...
|| they punished my sins by stressing andros twice and causing him to meltdown||
You did the same crimes in that combat.
we had to ||stress him three times|| !
and also you played way better than i did because literally never used the ||clear all heat|| button, like a dumbass 
I gave them ||andros's flamethrower|| as an exotic (it's literally just the one from ||the genghis license but without the LL requirement||, John Mcdriver the militia man and pirate hater instantly switched his AMR for it
Also since I like magic, I wanted to add a bit more mysticism to bonds so on the way back i made up a new character on the spot that is never going to appear again just to fuck with them
Basically showed up in the mess/lounge area of the ship, instantly got threatened by a gun because "who the fuck are you" and "how did you get in here", to which they replied "The tooth fairy" and "Through the door, like anyone would", then they offered a small card reading for them which was as simple as them drawing the arcana from the bond they chose ooc """randomly""" and talking a bit about their shortcomings, beliefs and strength, and then walking out through the door again
Damn
I did ponder about having something happening with either (ch2) ||Anthony Callahan|| or (ch3) ||The Crone|| but I wasn't sure how to do it in a way that I liked, so mysterious card reading while stuck on the ship it is!
As a sidenote, "Coronation" from the Project wingman ost is a very good theme for the way back from mission 1 in my opinion
Man I need to play that game
|| I mean guy with cards could just actually be Callahan no? ||
It could have but, eh, i dunno, i didn't feel like doing that
maybe it'll retroactively become true anyway, who knows
That's fair, red herrings are also fun to
heheh reminds me I had an NPC in a City of Mist game quite literally named Frederick Harrington. Who was meant to be a red herring
I love strangers that pop up for no reason and act horribly cryptic with a shit eating grin and then vanish again
I can't help myself I must put one in every game (almost)
its a very good trope!
Whooo timey wimey crap done with player in campaign 1, got my session zero innnnn 45 minutes for campaign 2, wish me luck Calliope nation
Two sesions in one day? That's a lot
been tempted to do this with Dog ngl (she is already 4m long so Fomorian Frame is just kind of reequired for flavour reasons)
eh the first one wasn't exactly a full session, mostly just expositing towards a friend for an hour and a half just to catch him up.
REAL game time is the one I'm about to do
Damn, i love exposition
SAME gimme the juicy lore and drama
that's indeed good
also in other news, I may have just rolled the best name for an Iskander mech
Content Management
Damn
stealing this but changing it to Content Warning x)
So that's why you suggested Coronation for Quil's new mech name
this, I swear, is a funny coincidence
We can steal from our dm?
heeeey!
wait no you will drown!
Makes sense
one of the characters in our campaign has this weapon and it whispers to her like a cursed magic item, begging her to kill civilians
Damn
it hasn't started whispering in her ear you guys just chose to run with that interpretation of that rp scene that chloe hasn't finished.
fuck pixel has just done something devious in his game
Pixel the devious creature
[Chapter 5]||I think Pixel might be setting Rodericke Steele up as Feather's Champion in his game||
True horror
(Ch3) ||We wrecked Bad Star and his posse.||
Why are the pilots called lancers?
Does it have to do with the historical meaning of lancer or something else?
Cuz we're the goddamn Calvary
I buy it
it's a dramatic pseudo title. like Aces irl
That doesn't tell me much but makes sense
If you're a Karrakin pilot you're a Kavaliere instead I think?
because they go on tv tropes dot com too much and everyone agrees that leader is for chumps and lancer is where all the cool kids gather
So presumably Lancer = go to name for reallly cool pilot, but if you wanted some regional/ specific titles instead thats fine
Okok, thanks
What are others names for a lancer?
I think that's kinda it in the books sadly?
"those assholes"
Aw man
sky's the limit, there's just no other examples in the books, but anything goes
Just to confirm the name Lancer has nothing to do with The Lancer from the five man band
Incorrect, every player group must canonically a five man band with 5 Lancers
For maximum ANGST
uh I mean, character development ™
hey, the typical max of any lancerr campaign is five folks
SO!!! Every Lancer game has the opportunity for the five man band
Do we have to fight each other to be The Lancer (tm) or we just pass it around from time to time?
Share
big true
ill let yall take that, im going for the big fella position
and ill begin throwing people if someone tries to make me the medic
Sigh

Honestly support builds in lancer are the first (in my limited experience) that become actively annoying (in a good way) to the dm (me)
There is absolutely nothing wrong with supports/healers
I…. I just am tired of being them lol
I will never forgive one of my players flash anchoring his friend and preventing him but being roundhouse kicked into lava by an assassin
Just what I picture the assassin lol
Kick it!
yeah pretty much. Thought he was hot shit, kicked, player got anchored and then dumpstered him next turn with DSAS it was very funny admittedly
The little fella just kicked a brick wall
and unsuprisingly it hurt!
lol
Also in other news, session zero for second campaign went very well! We clowning around and suffering from bad cable management on the Gate so far
Ahhhhh that’s great
Real
||but yes! the idea: set up a small roundup of all the stuff that may be pending, and just let 'em wander and be silly around Hell's gate till... the news™ and a bit longer. ||
A general question, what is the funniest thing that has happened in a battle that isn't a spoiler?
A very important question
My party getting their melee guy 32 spaces across the entire long side of the map to an objective in one turn through a combination of Everest core power, goblin puppet systems, and friendly fire with knockback
And my other party having their mine specialist charge all the way across the map in a similar manner, only to find themselves in range of the entire enemy team and getting wrecked
Timing is important
Oh, they also got knocked back onto their own mines
an allied mirage using metafold shove on a poor immobilized bastion to teleport an ally to move them around 30-35 spaces
the bastion knew it was coming too and could do nothing to stop it; i planned it out in advance and told the players but not my gm that i was going to do it
Damn
that is mostly the reason i play what i do now. i once teleported an ally and i like 40 spaces with a blink charge to leave an extraction because i placed the blink anchor right at the entrance. eleonor gave me control of that NPC and now it's my goal to ruin her fun
This wasn’t in IGF but back in an old campaign our vlad was like “i’m looking to take him down non-lethally” and then barraged with his combat drill, crit, triggered overkill to the point of overstressing, and then dealt 3 structure worth of damage to this rando.
Our GM was like “non-lethal my ass that mech is GONE”
(It then triggered severe PTSD in our vlad pilot, who had never really been the cause of this much lethal violence himself)
Jesus
that game was something else. me getting kicked was a miracle i think
like, i think one of the last sessions i was in i left for 5 minutes and the rest of the PCs decided to turn some clones we rescued who'd been forced into military service into... an idol group_?_
our ID negotiator let us get a big discount on our food supply
in exchange for saving him if he ever got air locked
i have no idea how we are supposed to do that, given that the flight from HG to IP is 5 days
but hey, whatever works for him
Non lethal thermonuclear bomb
oh dear god i have 2 players grabbing orator 
i need to add more enemies to [Chapter 2]||fairyland|| don't I?
Good afternoon have a big woman

And I'm off again goodbyyeeee

That's Charlotte's friend c:
No please i beg of you no ||Loki|| we have plenty of characters on board as is
7 activations would actually kill me
Lucero, in all his smolness: "Sure!"
could at most shake 1/2 finger
Also in other news, how the day goes for y'all? :D
I'm sorry wren, I can't let the quirked up white boy show me up
Just woke up, headed to work and I'm going to be late because my bus was cancelled 😩
Poor bus went on twitter too much...
had one to many colorful comments on taxi drivers
heck, that's a way to start monday x.x
You know I've never been in a taxi, by the time i moved to a city Lyft and uber took over. There's a few left downtown but you can really just walk everywhere there and buses are much more effective
Though I don't think the city of Seattle was known for taxis lol
Seattle taxis
Walking 🔥 🔥
This place could still use better public transit but it being walkable is really nice
Walking good... until it's more than 30 minutes-
...I walk atleast an hour and a half a day to get my steps in
me on my way to work in the morning
Admittedly I don't walk much anymore, mostly just to go home and work, but a few months ago i walked nearly 20 kilometers in the span of like 6 hours

"that one unemployed friend on a tuesday"
I don't go for walks I go for hops
I powerwalk and will duck and weave around slow people. People who walk slow are like my biggest pet peeve 
Feels, damn it
She could unironically do a range course in a sundress and heels
Just tech the acid rain drops
bnuy solutions 👀
this reminds me of my pathfinder animist who is literally never not in a high-fashion dress and heels
we've gone into dreamland, fought cyborg monsters, a company, demons, a dragon hurricane
and my bad bitch is still showing up like some upper-class flapper
she bought a raiment rune just to disguise her armor as a mink coat
Fashion over everything! love it
Wear the sundress over your pilot suit.
Holo-Dress
syle over substance, nice
syle
Syle hehe
Syle over susance
Syle over sauce
Kyle over Susan
Style over sustenance
When they say "you ate" it's because you're starving
Speaking of starving i finally have normal lancer week once again
I'm anxious but excited for tuesday 
is JdT back in the game
oh is it your wallflower campaign 👀
Ye
Thats the only thing i gm
A player missed the first combat they ever 'lost' so i think the rest of the crew is just going to side eye him lol
"Man we are doing so well!
"
Meanwhile everyone else 
The losing condition was mitigated by power at a cost so it wasn't that big of a deal, but the vibes were sour /pos
Mega pog!
talking about lancer
lancer on saturday too
I need to find the module they use to put on objects like soft and hard covers aGH
Peak design, big fan of big hats very cute
I went from 3 games a week to a flat 0 for 3 weeks. Mama needs her fix
Bun is always peak design hehe
but srs if anyone knows what modules are used to draw covers it would be good(?)
https://github.com/Wibble199/FoundryVTT-Terrain-Height-Tools
I used this for a while
Lancer this Saturday let's goooo
Ancer this saturday
'ancer 'his 'aturday
Bloody hell
This is also what i use, i really like it
Terrain height tools is cool and good
IGF also has versions with the terrain already on, but it doesn't auto apply cover for attacks
I second this one its good
Thank you! c:
Real
i was already contemplating not handing him to you. Know you chose this.
Then all I have to do is make walls where I want stuff to block(?)
To give a little more insight (GM stuff, my players
) ||Preparing spitting distance map, and I am still trying to get familiarized with foundry and lancer overall||
I was gonna be pedantic and comment on this but couldn't be bothered lmao
oh dear-
goooodddd it feels good to see my weekly schedule filled with Lancer again
im running igf, playing wf, and doing a bunch of crazy stuff for a merc company concept i have
And i... am jealous 🥲
Bi weekly sessions from interruptions every other week for the past 2 months + other campaign finished
I then said I wanted to run a one shot for something i wanted run for #1378465748812566640 but realised the next time I can play is once the deadline is finished and motivation has just been sapped out of me 😭
The start of fall semesters took a crowbar to my players schedules...
but I'm always happy too see people here starting or resuming their campaigns
For me it was the end of semester breaking mine
in my case, since we are a group in another server... there's just too many sesions
many overlap and so on
so... bi weekly has to be!
but if it¿s kept constant I believe the hype doesn't die that much
but each time a session is missed, ouch
Exam season + summer holiday to now summer resists 😭
(I'm not doing resists, but my players are)
Larp season also fucks it but like...
Larp is just RPG on steroids
work sucks tho. the team im working with is entirely norwegian and most meetings take place between 3am and 10am
I basically dont see them at all
Fuck
The game hasn't even started and we have hype
Yes but you are special scrimblos
I have adapted to bi-weekly by running a weekly game alongside
The start always has the strongest hype IMO
agree
plus nobody in our server does Sci-Fi stuff so... I just kinda dropped and EMP in a fantasy world haha
Theres an ongoing injoke in our game of "hard sci fi btw"
Where i basically said lancer has quite a realistic grasp on physics then introduced 4 different variations of magic of which only 2 are loosely related
it was hard science until like 2000u
"scientists call things they can't understand paracausal simply because they're too cowardly to call it magic"
You see
Only 2 of them are deemed paracausality
wait... i think i can guess at least three of them now
Go ahead
One: [Wallflower spoiler] ||Witness?||
Nope
damn...
General IGF act 1 spoilers: ||Feather, the crone, triple point and the golden hand||
it's the roaring 20s and she runs a speakeasy, and i'll be damned if she won't look the part
(she's also a mean biracial (half brown, half elf) transgender second-generation with anger issues and may be ending up in a poly relationship)
ah... i thought you meant 4 across lancer as a whole
[GM spoiler] ||I was going to guess that the funny stigmata was one of them||
Funny, I introduced Lancer to my players as "Magic isn't real but also it's totally real"
(i wasn't really expecting her to get into one, but when you've got a fine man in your life and then a fine androgyne walks in, well, hey, she's got two hands)
(and 2 of some other things too)
"Here's the Pegasus"
||well yeah, the crone||
Magic isn't real except for the power of friendship
(which gives you 6 ap damage per turn)
i believe they call that Mjolnir
my PC personally refuses to refer to that shit as "paracausal"
CURSE YOU ICONOCLAST!!!
it's magic and nothing fucking else
And also the fact I keep teleporting and reading people's mind but magic is totally not real 
Its 6 bullets ti the face, that shits very causal
Slip is the best bond power especially when you're adamant on not explaining how
It's like the chomolungma but for narrative play
I have explained how because it's funny to me
i'm trying to go builder but my GM keeps tempting me to go wolf
Damn
"Please Arimedea, please kill all my npcs"
Why not the Firebrand?
Its like the wolf but instead of spite it has the power of friendship
I do like firebrand
no no. it's spite but against forms of government instead of against specific people
just like me except the firebrand actually does stuff
no, it literally has the power of friendship 
I just picked up all the stuff that helps pushong
pushong
both kinds of friendship in fact
Pushong
pushong
pusheen
pushend
push it, push it
to the limit, limit
cuz im in it to win it
in it to win it
oh yeah!
Wren that may be the one mission i miss i do not want combat to last 7 hours
(ch2) ||A big reason i let yall just cheese the damn thing was the ridiculous amount of activations on the board. I will happily take the L in 4 rounds if it's still fun to play||
Push into the limit!
However
Fool my beloved
Don't forget the "how dare you make our oomfie cry" power
That's funny
You wouldn't shot a scrimblo with a laser gun
but yes, bonds fun, include them if you feel confident (plus it's not that much of an extra rulings)
I gave my players two bond powers at LL1 because they're so fun
(I will not live to regret this
)
Let their voice be heard over Calliope
through the long rim
and past dawnline shore
Juejuejue
Serenity
If something happens to her I am blowing all impact plaza
(act 2) ||well well well, it all comes back to me (impact plaza)||
god damn it
lol
lmao
Also, Hi Calliope
Bun to give you a helpful hint. Make watermelon smoothies for hydration. If you like it sweet, add a tablespoon of honey!
or a tea spoon
or none at all
Literally Serenity
I'm not your nutricianist, just stay hydrated
I thought about taking that bond power but Eleonor never gives out stress
BITCH YALL TAKE NO RISKS
I think Eruca's gonna be a Pathfinder but she might be scrimblo enough to just have this by default
im gonna start just handing out stress every hour
This is more of a problem with the bond design tbh
default scrimblo
The sun is so busted i feel bad using it and heart of hearts has never been useful
Roland out here stress-maxxing, really taking advantage of that -5 stress per downtime
I honestly plan on pushing myself more
I have this devious strat with Archie where i use "what could go wrong?" With pushing myself for a reroll? Additional accuracy? I forget what it does exactly
Afternoon folks, how everyone doin this fine dayo
we out here, it's a monday workday
waiting for night class
Yeeaaah I'm at work but I'm feeling a lot better than last week
I seee, wonderful times
think i just had a manic episode teehee
and that is the most important part Meow
yea pushing is 1 stress = 1 accuracy
wha-
also your no longer Drakemaxing? WHat happpened?
no more drake
Eeeeh it's for stupid reasons lmao
drake is a sign of mental unwellness
I left pnet, realized that was stupid, and then rejoined so it reset my name
ahhhh
heck
When the sitrep is across the map and you're slowed with 3 speed
I knew it wasn't a bug(?)
YEAH if thats true then why is Ralsiel with a minigun so cool!?!
RALSEI IS DEFINITELY MENTALLY UNWELL
Not wrong there
-# PLS REMEMBER TO SPOILER MARK CHAPTER 3 - 4 SPOILRS
(I wish to say that ralsiel never pulls out a minigun in either chapter)
i think that silly gif isn't too bad so don't worry
I don't trust you, deceiver
I would never lie
Deceive Maxxing
only misdirect because as we all know, Birdly has the Minigun 😛
I would lie
thank you Leo, I knew I could count on ya
Call me the Abacus
would?!
I would lie, yes
They're a GM now so they have to
And have done so on multiple occasions
ok that's a valid reason for
Leo showing his true colors of bein evil
Juli i want you to know that in if anyone posts this during our games we go into a laughing fit for at least 5 minutes
-# red white and blue are the colors of liars
Thank you for this gif
me, lying: i dont lie
