I have never encountered a pre-written adventure that was so My Jam(tm) before

#

which is to say: I agree

clever cloud
#

I dreamt about an entire hook last night
(PC: August)
||August is ex-Far Field security personnel who left for Calliope because "they got bored." I'm turning that into a bit more of a conflict by getting the members of said far field team reaching Calliope and asking around if anyone knows where "Augustino Serrano" is. The man woke up a few days early (subj.) and took the shuttle. Now the team is months behind schedule trying to find his ass. It's a great way to introduce Kileyna Morton, Union politics, make August look like a liar, and attack his sense of community.

I do have to run some things by the player to make sure this is a direction they would want to go||

Good Morning Calliope.

I guess it was my turn to have a dream about IGF

Gotta be honest with Lancer. having much fun even if it was one or two sessions I really enjoyed the combat system it remembers me to pathfinder and I like that ^^

As someone who is running and having to change a lot of wallflower, i can :p

upbeat hemlock
#

while I will admit my experience is mostly D&D stuff (from a couple of editions and a few OSR spinoffs), even within that, there is a lot of dross. And even the stuff that isn't dross often isn't amazing

#

yeah, I had a read of Wallflower. I liked the idea, but I have rants ready to roll about some of the plot holes

Good morning Calliope, I have updated art of my pilot and her NHP companion! Coloring is still a wip

I'm imagining tigex going "HAAAIIII" with the ear piercing roar in the background

#

Do spill the preverbal tea Void

west phoenix
#

I want to read it too but its probably spoilers cryingbastard

shell bison
#

Nah I can filter it to a non spoiler and spoilers tier

#

So essentially, I think this dream was heavily inspired by my evening walks here I listen to horror content on the side just to get into the slowly approaching spooky season. I had the deep booming voice of Wayne June acting as a narrator of sorts as I thought of essentially a pretty dark AU timeline of IGF where some kind of unknown virus was making people very ill. It started out small but it essentially was a small start to a really bad outbreak that led to some pretty horrible imagery of the infected.

I think my mind was trying to parse where it started and there were three primary theories of it starting in one of the lone thousand hab stations, some kind of food contamination that Steele thought was the ticket to even more food stocks or something else.

All I can say in non spoiler tier is that key locals had explosions that rendered them almost impossible to contact. Calliope was officially under some kind of isolation lockdown due to Union getting wind and of course they respond to this and Hell's gate is officially on the brink of being overrun by the "Ashen".

Spoilers, if you know the general story from ch1-3 you can read:
||So, Feather and the cult have decided to poison Calliope as a whole to allow for the issues going on to get them to work in the background of the chaos. They infected the wheat and other products in Calliope with some kind of spore that gives anyone that eats it a "blessing of the molten spore" whatever that meant. If you eat a piece of food that had the spore there was a chance you would become an "ashen" A body slowly melting and burning away but the mind would deteriate unable to identify they ar ein pain. Symptoms included lack of hunger, fever, into the person being essentially a husk with bits of ash wafting off them and what made them dangerous is that some had fire abilities that could create horror in stations. Flames a plenty. Since the enemies were so soft and spore like it could also gum up filtration systems. ||

west phoenix
#

Thats not where i expected that to go at all

ancient crag
#

Oh god

But Wayne June is the goat, i was just talking about him the other day, I don't remember if you were part of that conversation

Of course there's a tragic ending all mages have tragic endings in darksouls

I can confirm this AU decided to hurt the most with Jerry being in a coma and infected with medical desperately trying to find a cure and Shelly was managing all remaining survivors ||And showing signs of cascading if things degrade worse||

gold is extremely malleable

I blame you Hip

I always like picturing a drake and balor fighting mostly due to the area of effect of their angry water eating the mech and the drake being so dummy thicc that I mostly picture it as the angry bee water eating away the top layer of metal leaving it as a almost silver like color

@clever cloud what if that one shot was an early Halloween special

supple carbon

Evil and scary halloween one shots

#

Tl;dr what if Serenity was an evil witch Draculul

supple carbon
#

Everything can be explaind as an horror story told in halloween

minor orchid
#

spooky scary mechs

#

print now your halloween standard decoration at your nearest printer

west phoenix
#

So for those who weren't here for the one shot idea (don't look Bella or Vulperious if you're creeping around) ||is that the squad goes into Serenity's mind scape, maybe due to some Crone bullshit idk, and see the worst version of herself and everyone she knows (other than the squad ofc). She worries that she's becoming too overbearing and forceful with the way she leads the squad and holds resentment towards both Elizabeth and Primo rn and at one point earlier in the campaign feared that she had ample reason to join the cult, she thought that a hard reset would be better for Calliope since she hates it there lmao; she doesn't want to be like this obviously so this is a way of purging it from her. She's in control of the station and its overgrown with flaming flowers that hurt when they pass through them, she bullies her 'underlings'- Jerry, Calamity, Loki, and Ipswich and sees the squad as challenging her authority since she thinks they don't respect her. After this i think she'll be nicer and calm down lol. Its essentially persona 4 in hindsight||

So. Kat Tastro Phe, a player character in @shell bison 's game. She grew up as an orphan on Asphodel and got pulled into the Hell Hounds. Got close to Calamity which may have been a part of what got them nearly killed, then they were rescued together and ended up on Hell's Gate. They didn't start out dating, but got there by the end of ch1. in ch2: ||Bondarchuk was revealed to be her mother. She used that to manipulate Kat a bit for the cult's gain, but when she had a chance to leave her guilt kicked in and she came back and turned herself over. Kat had her brought to Hell's Gate, and they're repairing their relationship, with Bondarchuk getting a bit of a redemption arc. ||

Kat's player, Fors, is an artist and drew a lot of Kat and Calamity (she also drew a TON of Charlotte art that bunzi uses, and she drew my cult spy, and some other IGF stuff). Since Cal is originally a PC in my game, Bunzi showed me a lot of it, and I made something with Kat and Cal in return, and now Calamity's player and I are both close friends with Fors too.

yeah I think that's how we justified it lol

#

Mama Bondarchuk! In Bunzi's continuity, she had Kat at a point where she really wouldn't be able to provide for her or take care of her, so she was forced to give her up. After becoming... who she is in IGF, she wanted to look for her but it's been years and it''s hard to follow a trail that leads to the Hell Hounds. Until she ended up right in Evalina's own establishment...

Lineup for our currently unnamed team. Left to right: Striga, assigned to the team as a tech specialist. Charlotte, and Kat, mech frame pilots. Carter (another Fors OC), assigned as the team's medical support. Calamity and Rose, mech frame pilots. Siren, Dragon's Tooth Pilot.

In Bunzi's game, Kat has been flirting with Striga a lot, but nothing's come of it yet. In this timeline, she ships Carter and Striga (but also Rose and Carter). In their native games Calamity, Rose, and Kat have all dated Siren. This team is going to become a giant sapphic something almost immediately. We already have plans for Rose and Char to date for a bit until Rose reveals she was a spy the whole time and causes some bad drama. She'll probably get folded into the greater polycule structure later.

Kat has become my primary artist for references on Charlotte's design as I've trusted her a lot to nail her base design, body type, etc. She's drawn a very fair share of serious art and top quality shitposts too

Kat's also building Siren a subaltern as a long term project. And Fors drew a really good picture of her and then I accidentally taunted her into making it into this fucking masterpiece (I made a comment on the shading and she took it as an excuse to draw for another hour adding WAY more detail)
