In Golden Flame

[dire cloud]

I really need to figure out what LL to take at 4.

[ancient crag]

What got going for you rn?

[dire cloud]

Well, the big problem is that my SP is nearly exhausted from putting Blink Charges and Accelerate on a Barbarossa. I just have room for Personalizations and Armament Redundancy.

I've also got a Mortar and two custom exotic cannons made from pieces dropped by enemies.

[shell bison]

Meanwhile, I got to figure out my LL2 manticore

[fast parrot]

You've got a manticore character?

[dire cloud]

Ferrous Lash would be really nice to have, but I can't afford it.

Barbie having 5 base SP is so ass.

[shell bison]

yeye, my boy Lexin Toledo about to become the storm swordsman baby~

Our squad is beginning to hate each other. This is great

[balmy obsidian]

But the power of friendship :(

[supple carbon]

Something something darkest dungeon quote

[clever cloud]

the power of friendship is forged in the fires of tribulation

otherwise it's just sparkling acquaintance

[supple carbon]

They are in the "Tried and tested" part of the quote, they aren't a bond to be counted on yet

Resentment, the slowest and deadliest poison of them all.

This one fits

Cruelty and callousness have claimed dominion here.

This one too

Narrowed eyes, muttered threats. All trust is lost.

Another one

[tame tide]

Last session if act 1 tonight

[ancient crag]

Woooooo

[supple carbon]

Omg

[tame tide]

My laptop is still broken

So I need to steal my mate's laptop to run the session

Then I realised... I know how they can play!!! Via my steam deck!!

[polar glacier]

There were a pile of them a while back (like, >1 year), let me see if I can dig them up.

[clever cloud]

oh @polar glacier , now that i have you, ||Is there any canon info on Millstone that i can read up on? I recently learned that he's Basil's NHP from the original campaign but that's all i think i know||

[polar glacier]

I don't have anything that wasn't already mentioned, I'm afraid.

Especially since the whole ||been through this all before|| bit is, I think, new for the book and deliberately open ended for GMs to worth with

ZHJake's original asphodel concept art

"Sunset over a river canyon on asphodel" by vex, made in space engine

[clever cloud]

perf, just wanted confirmation

[polar glacier]

Cruye and I both made edits (just a hue shift) of primordial earth art from this: https://bizleyart.com/gallery/prehistoric/precambrian/archean

SPOILER: chapter 3 beat 17, cruye's team recruited a lot of help. I could ask her for her edit if you want it.

[cobalt zealot]

I designed a custom exotic for the Hecatoncheires I'll be using

||MYRIOS Omnivore Swarm
Exotic Heavy Nexus
10 / 1d6 + 3
Smart, Seeking, Accurate, 1 SP
On Hit: if the Target is immune or resistant to damage, the this weapon deals is converted to 3 AP ||

[cobalt zealot]

Oooh

I like those

Bunzi has to sign off on it first though

[west phoenix]

If by "fires" you mean Elizabeth taking a steel chair to the back of Serenity's head then sure

[balmy obsidian]

Wow, this fire is out of control

[west phoenix]

We're gonna burn this city, burn this city

[west phoenix]

Good lord are these exotics

I can't read

Nvm

Still, they seem crazy strong

[clever cloud]

oh damn yea wow

for exotics, balance can go out the window but damn

[dire cloud]

Each weapon is made of three components, which have a chance of dropping from enemies.

A (structure) in 4 chance, specifically.

[light mist]

tfw you realize the head of the new PhD program you are attempting to transfer into has strong Jerry energy

right down to "I'm only in charge bc literally no one else will step up"

no no it's really funny actually

[ancient crag]

Does he also have an eccentric tie collection?

[polar glacier]

light up the night

[light mist]

not that I'm aware of

I guess it has more to do with his demeanor lol

[clever cloud]

start gifting him some

[cobalt zealot]

Exotics do break the curve

Quite a bit sometimes

The Predator Nexus has Accurate and ignores invisibility over the basic Hunter Nexus

[tame tide]

I offered my players a PAAC

Final session:
||Jerry watches the hellfire finale||

Showed her the whole exchange from yesterday and got a doodle in return

[west phoenix]

Goddamn did Ralph make these

Accurate nexus is funny though. Cope all you want, it can't trigger centimane

[balmy obsidian]

Nope, Solstice Rain

Centimane 1 is on a crit though, only Centimane 2 requires a Lock On

[west phoenix]

Isn't it on a nat 20

[balmy obsidian]

No that's Brutal 1

[clever cloud]

Mr. Ralph Dustgrave

[west phoenix]

Oh, that's not bad i guess. An accurate nexus is sorely needed lol

And the invisibility thing is more niche vs.. having about every positive trait a weapon can get

Idk, this is why I'm a writer and not a game designer lol

[foggy mountain]

good evening, Calliope

Anyways prepare for my arrival as I will beat you to lucidity

[west phoenix]

Prepare for my arrival, worms

[foggy mountain]

I need your professional opinions on smth

bonk hammer or no bonk hammer?

[west phoenix]

From far away it looks like the bonk hammer is part of the body, i just kind of like how sleek it is without it too

[noble ivy]

I think it looks just a touch too busy with the hammer?
kinda takes some focus away from the insane looking turbine/drill/pilebunker

[shell bison]

So real

[west phoenix]

If you feel like editing it maybe the hammer could pop with some contrast, but i think they both look good

[clever cloud]

Every day i wish harder that i could play lancer for a living

Dimension20 hire me

[supple carbon]

Man, a dimension20 lancer season would be cool

[clever cloud]

From what i heard through the grapevines is that a big reason why Dimension20 never made a Lancer campaign is because lancer doesn't fit well with actual plays?? And i supposed there's some level of veracity to that, considering how few of those we have in this community, but i still disagree on that premise

There's no big difference between dnd 5e and lancer from the perspective of an audience

I think d20 has been shying away from extensive 3hr combat episodes, and lancer is sorta mostly about that

again, i still disagree, but these are the arguments i can recall

[supple carbon]

Yeah i can see that tbh

[noble ivy]

Even though I love D20 with all my heart, I can sorta see the argument as to why Lancer might not be the best fit for it's style

I think Lancer narrative play rules are very barebones, even when you include bond powers.
If they do try and make a mecha themed side quest I could see them using a system like beam saber or teens in space instead

[clever cloud]

Meh, I get it, but i don't think the rules-lite aspect of lancer's narrative rules stops players from being cool and interesting to watch

[west phoenix]

Funny enough the bare bones aspect of it is my favorite, no random ass skills or talents or whatever. You can just do something and you have fun little abilities with bonds

In lancer I'm never like "oh what roleplay talents do i have who should do this" i just do it

[clever cloud]

gm-corner this month has been working on a talent overhaul shying away from the weird complexities it does have

[west phoenix]

Probably the only exception is when Serenity uses the sun but tbh she'd be taking charge anyways :p

[west phoenix]

You mean the talents that really just have some roleplay elements?

(technophile 1)

[clever cloud]

The Sun is weaker than it should be because I don't often use narrative challenge clocks

but running it as we do, is highly strong

[west phoenix]

Use more clocks

[clever cloud]

sorta, but no. I didn't read any of the specifics. You can look up "valk" and "talentless hack" in #gm-corner

[west phoenix]

Ok 🩵

Yay

Nvm thats too much i don't think i care that much

[clever cloud]

lmao

there's a reason i haven't read it either

[hybrid salmon]

I’ve recently begun to appreciate rules that get out of the way more

That said it is probably healthy for my psyche to not read the GM chatter stuff

Cool kinda related thing btw: using a high-lethality “combat-only” system for political intrigue; https://www.chocolatehammer.org/?p=5773

[cobalt zealot]

The default HK nexus should probably be Accurate

I mean yeah, but my players want a break. I want a break but I don't know for how long and I'll need to do much more work as its not finished BUT in a good state

[blazing plinth]

Folks, I and my fellow players are about to enter the system of Calliope for this week!

Tonight: Continuing the thrilling showdown between the Rave Riders, and ||Rodericke Steele's Domey Boys|| ch 3 spoilers

The Rave Riders is the name we decided to give to our squad in the SRT

[jovial beacon]

have fun!

[thorn hinge]

Nice name!

Good hunting, lancers

[cobalt zealot]

Man @ancient crag @noble ivy @tight pier we really need to come up with a name for the SRT huh

[upbeat hemlock]

I've heard of SRT Leviathan, and I have The C-Team and the C.R.A.B.S (Crisis Response Active Battle Squad). I'm sure a few other teams have names

[cobalt zealot]

I've been ruminating on a couple of names

And I like the idea of "Hell's Angels"

As a counterpoint to the Hell Hounds

I also have a personal in character grudge with the Hounds

[upbeat hemlock]

if you hate the Hounds... maybe Dog Botherers

although that's maybe a bit crass for some groups

[cobalt zealot]

The reason I like Hell's Angels is because we're four women and one dude

So it's like

Hell's Angels (and Greg)

[limber fossil]

lmao

that's like us and grandma squad

when really it's one grandma, one great grandma, one middle aged ma, and one Daughter whose mind's eye has been opened up to the glorious chorus of the swarmsong

[ancient crag]

And Greg smh

[regal comet]

I mean
Morgana's squad is named after a slightly spoiled paracausal sandwich, which, if eaten, will taste like your favourite sandwich, before reverting back to an un-eaten state and you won't gain anything from eating it XD

The squads name is "the Forever Sandwich"

[clever cloud]

our squad is called "Jerry's Dream Team"

[balmy obsidian]

Hello that's us (Leviathans)

[limber fossil]

what dream_?_ his nightmares_?_

[fast umbra]

even nightmares implies that he sleeps sometimes

[balmy obsidian]

spoilers for the Chapter 1 final bossfight (which Arimedea should not read): ||i know about his special 8d6 meltdown maneuver, and i think i survive it. on average. like I have 12 HP, full structure, and am Exposed currently, so that'll do exactly 48 damage to me on average - but, I also have Custom Paint Job, and it would be incredibly funny if that procced to save my ass||

[supple carbon]

I know we will fight another mirage sooner or later

And i dread it

Almost died (of fear)

[balmy obsidian]

My opinion on specters very quickly went from "What the hell is a specter" to "Oh god kill it quick kill it kill it kill it"

In about one round

[supple carbon]

Don't even know what that is but im scared

[west phoenix]

Man that was the one combat (once i understood the game) that just made me mad lmao

I nearly rage quit

Could not escape it, stunned, structured twice, couldn't damage it

[west phoenix]

You're just running core rulebook NPCs right? Core specters are insane lmao

[balmy obsidian]

Nah it was a rebake

Still very scary

[west phoenix]

You could have had it much worse

[balmy obsidian]

I know

[supple carbon]

I got lucky, since i wasn't the one moved, but damn, it's scary

[west phoenix]

I'm running a specter soon for the first time, I'm excited :) everyone but 1 has armor though so I'm just gonna hard focus them lmao

[west phoenix]

Its one of the dirtiest combos in the game

Anyways i have around a half day at work today because of spare vacation time that doesn't roll over :) early start to my weekend

[supple carbon]

Nice, but yeah, i still don't know how we made it intact from that fight (me over all, not even a single damage)

It did the same thing to our Saggy

Proceeded to hit

Stun

And then the Denali walked up and undid the stun

Then the Demolisher tried to hit her

Missed

Then it tried to hit me

Missed again

And then we tore it to pieces

[supple carbon]

I got really lucky, had that shield from gms as one of my systems

[cobalt zealot]

[supple carbon]

[shell bison]

Hey, he got one good hit in

that's more than most Demolisher's on a board get

[supple carbon]

Demolishers are scary, if it hits once it did the job it was meant to do

[cobalt zealot]

Yeah it's just really funny we undid it immediately

The Denali is actually a great mech

It's a shame we don't have Suldan because there's a GMS core bonus in that which would be perfect for Luck

I think it's called Superior Logistics

[west phoenix]

You can if you're not a coward

[supple carbon]

Last combat we fought a demolisher too (rebake) and it hit our balor and bro just went "ok"

[supple carbon]

How much damage does the hammer do?

[noble ivy]

the full name is saggy martha

[cobalt zealot]

Enough

[west phoenix]

Idk, but he immediately healed it lmao

[cobalt zealot]

How is the rebake?

[west phoenix]

It was with the uuuh thrown weapon, rebake only

Between being prone and teleported bro never made it to threat 2 lmao

[west phoenix]

Big saggy Martha. Thats what they used to call me in highschool

[west phoenix]

Oh sorry i just saw this i was too busy shitposting; i like it a lot more than the core rulebook, and even though I haven't played tier 2 NPCs the jump seems a lot more reasonable

Specters are better, demos are better, all of the Wallflower NPCs are much better even though they're not finished yet

I hate the strider, spite, and lurker, but the rebake makes them have sauce, especially the new avenger

[noble ivy]

-# I need to start keeping track of everything you've been called in highschool

You did this to me first session too

Like legit it feels like the random number generator is not at all random

[ashen cradle]

😭

[cobalt zealot]

How do I

How do I roll 4 1s back to back

Just

Like okay if this was a one off I'd brush it off

But the fact that this happened two combats in a row

[ashen cradle]

Roll 20 is cruel sometimes

[cobalt zealot]

I dunno man it's just

So demoralising

One of those could've hit, please

[clever cloud]

It's amazing how Borderlands as a series:

• Has cool gunplay
• Is unfunny
• Is mad cringe
  And it directly inspired IGF, which
• Is god damn hillarious!
• It's one of the most earnest fictions ive ever read
• IS VISIBLY, AND WHOLLY INSPIRED BY BORDERLANDS

somehow igf is borderlands but genuinely good

for context, im replaying BL2

and I often find myself ignoring dialogue cuz god damn

[steady adder]

i honestly liked the guns in first Borderlands just because the gun-generation was far more random but you could find absolute monsters from time to time

maybe not sleep, just lay down

[limber fossil]

grandma squad session finished yesterday

we completed chapter 1_!_

and all it took was two reactor meltdowns and one regular mech destruction

[balmy obsidian]

Congratualtions!

[limber fossil]

i see myriad has already explained the cruel and unusual punishment we received for our final fight

[limber fossil]

i also want to point out that these were all rebake NPCs

final map look

anyway, we got a few crits on our downtime actions so now we're swimming in reserves

also, we have two armory "runaways" in the party so that's going to be fun. the other grandma was very suspicious of all the information my PC (middle aged ma) knew about

JANE!

Your IPS-N mechanic

[upbeat hemlock]

She entered the campaign John Stapler, but after encountering the Comedically Large Estrogen Pill in chapter 2, did some rethinking of her life and identity

and got SSC-grade transition surgery (ch2 spoilers I guess) ||as an "investigation expense" on Rita's dime||

[minor orchid]

Honestly?

She's got a Lancaster now. And Orator for sending emails to people mid combat

[west phoenix]

Lick it back to assert dominance

[ancient crag]

[willow needle]

I just got into a goat area and all were ignoring the children. I have the same food as everyone else but 5 goats started to fight each other to get to my food. Okay. Worst of all, one goat licked the same hand as the giraffe.

[willow needle]

Reverie was super confused because people were accepting her even if she is an egregorian, poor baby

[supple carbon]

Poor reverie having to answer to Evan's stupid questions

[noble ivy]

how stupid were these questions...

[supple carbon]

What do egregorians eat, how do they see colors

[willow needle]

They asked her if they can touch her wings, if she can see more colors than humans, what does she eat, if she can drink coffee, if she can drink alcohol, if she can not talk telepathically with one of them (racist)...

Answers were: No, apparently yes but she doesn't know the difference (obviously), can eat meat and veggies but prefers sugary foods, yes, yes but doesn't like it, no (her type of egregorian can't talk vocally)

[supple carbon]

Evan didn't ask about the racist thing nor the wings things

[noble ivy]

-# I'll be honest, I was expecting Luffy level stupid "do you poop" questions

[supple carbon]

Never that dumb

[jovial beacon]

[supple carbon]

MINE WERE ALL VALID QUESTIONS

Anyway this session was wild, too many plot twist

First they pointed guns at Anna, then Anna wasn't anna, she was Reverie, second plot twist

Third plot twist Quincy (pc of guy who isn't here) Turns out to be Karrakin

Fourth plot twist Reverie is egregorian (none of this was a surprise for the player but the character, Yikes)

[dire cloud]

Actual drones mind you

Lotus, Shield array, Turret

[hearty whale]

They are my friens and they keep dying every combat
(I have had to beg the Lencaster to let me repair them)

[thorn hinge]

hey I'm here what's going on?

[steady adder]

@balmy obsidian and @hearty whale playing dolls with Lotus Projector and triples forming Shield Array Drone from suldan

I'ml sorry Juli you also get the spray bottle as a precaution

[noble ivy]

[supple carbon]

Damn

[willow needle]

She was trained to stand in 2 legs to use a very special proso collar that makes a full body illusion, she just only has to avoid body contact

[dire cloud]

You can stand on two legs? I am so jealous.

[willow needle]

Reverie was super confused when Jerry went right into asking her if she can drink coffee and asking if she will remain in the response group. Reverie inside was like "doesn't your kind literally kill my own..??"

(she was told a very exaggerated version from SSC, that all humans will kill any eg in sight)

[willow needle]

She can stand in these 3 (human like, lazy pose, egregorian pose)

[dire cloud]

It's a shame they'll never meet.

What does Reverie pilot?

[hearty whale]

I will never get to pat the fluffe moth
Life is cruel...

[willow needle]

She pilots a Chromo atm but she used to pilot a metalmark and amber phantom (her favourite)

Apparently SSC blocked all her licenses after she was marked as disappeared

[minor orchid]

-# hehehe

[willow needle]

She was sent to calliope by one of the directors of her experiment saying it was a new mission and that she had to look for someone called ember for more info.

Now she discovered that that person that sent her actually turned off all security at the moment of her leave, and striga says that ember doesn't exist.

So striga thinks that it's because reverie is a escapee from SSC

[willow needle]

But jerry might some day(?

[hearty whale]

Jerry could use it

Emotional support giant alien moth

[dire cloud]

Betty will probably need Jerry to pet her. She's in chapter 4.

[willow needle]

I had some cooking done for reverie and it depends if Hipo like it that the chatacter might go into a very deep dark route

[minor orchid]

And here I am

[willow needle]

Not me making my chatacters suffer horribly

[supple carbon]

Im the only one in the party without secrets (that i know of)

[hearty whale]

Retroactively get some

Nobody can say that it wasn't always true

It was a secret after all

[noble ivy]

for every lesbian with a thousand secrets
there are just as many John Lancer's with none

[hearty whale]

(Genuine advice if you feel a character is a bit stale, it's a live on-going story, you can fudge details on the fly to tell a more compelling narrative)

[dire cloud]

It's also a collaborative story. You can talk with the GM and other players about stuff you'd like to do and see.

[west phoenix]

im so proud of you

[west phoenix]

mhm thats what i did with serenity. if i was running her as i did day 1 this character would be boring lmao

[noble ivy]

I steal bits learn from the best

[supple carbon]

I like not having secrets, it means whatever is revealed about my char is a surprise for him as well

[west phoenix]

gave her a reason for her snoodiness

[willow needle]

(everytime I try to get secrets in my chatacter the other players complain about it lmao. IDK what's wrong in wanting some mystery among the party to get genuine reactions later)

[west phoenix]

I AGREE

[willow needle]

(and I say that with said players and GM on this chat >:D)

I know i complain sometimes because sometimes (and i declare again, sometimes) it feels excluding, since we don't have the context for the secret in the first place

But you don't have to take it seriously, don't worry

[hearty whale]

I've had decent success with character secrets but just telling everyone at the group the secret
Because then they're all "in on it" and can when my character is sweating, and go "Oh what a perfectly normal thing :)" in character

[supple carbon]

Like secret within a secret within a secret

Secretception

[willow needle]

I've done both

Secret from players and secret only for the chatacters

The reverie thing was the second for example, but I want to have the first one now

[hearty whale]

(Honestly I've wanted to have player secrets but I get too excited and tell half the cast in dms or spill it next session anyway)

[willow needle]

I'm way too good at keeping secrets sadly

And behaving like I have 0 clue about it

[hearty whale]

Well that's half the fun for me, foreshadowing it

[west phoenix]

i'm bad at keeping secrets. i may say it out of character but in character no one knows

like if everyone knew serenity wanted to leave calliope and the SRT AND have a little chat with ||ignatius|| they'd hate her

[dire cloud]

I've actually chatted with the GM about some of my plans.

[lyric ivy]

my players got to mission 1 combat 2 today. they already hate S1GN4L and want to kill him, and they havent even seen he's an ||Elite Veteran Mirage|| yet. this is going to be amazing

[west phoenix]

hello smallest

[lyric ivy]

hello hi

[west phoenix]

happy to see you graduated from wallflower

[lyric ivy]

yes indeed

finished the first escort today, one mech destroyed 🔥

[west phoenix]

what???

combat 1???

[noble ivy]

one PC mech???

[lyric ivy]

very unlucky roll

[minor orchid]

zamn

[west phoenix]

holy shit thats brutal haha

[minor orchid]

it did kaboom

[west phoenix]

good thing you're using GMS

[noble ivy]

[lyric ivy]

rolled to clear burn: failed
rolled structure: 1 and 5
rolled hull check: 2

[minor orchid]

wait, burn!?

[west phoenix]

.... yes?

whats unusual about burn lmao

[lyric ivy]

yeah one of the two first combats has a hive

[woeful saddle]

me when I trust the windshield wipers will get the napalm off

[west phoenix]

that combat usually has a hive

[supple carbon]

Got obliterated

[minor orchid]

tru I forgor-

||if it's 5 or more pc's´||

[lyric ivy]

but they did get the win in the end

[west phoenix]

that much attrition early on is rough

[lyric ivy]

earned that food through blood sweat and tears (and a lot of jerry's money)

[lyric ivy]

yeah they were rolling like shit

i mean multiple turns of different people just missing both attacks in a barrage

[supple carbon]

That's why you have reliable weapons

[lyric ivy]

sad there's no GMS reliable melee

[west phoenix]

real

my first two combats in one of my games i hit like 3 attacks with an accurate weapon

and then proceeded to (ch1) ||absolutely smoke capella. like had to have been like 25 damage, most of it AP||

[lyric ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/cinema-gif-5935759059195122434

[west phoenix]

lock on and then skirmish smh. barrage is often a trap

especially for the brainlet HMG users

i will not tell them this, i hate the HMG and want them to miss

[lyric ivy]

yeah good point, i'm not sure why they werent doing that more

one person was locking on but the rest were just balling

(these are not new players they've been through wallflower)

[west phoenix]

they want to see big numbers but instead they see none

[lyric ivy]

but once they did finally hit? holy shit

the archer nearly got one shot

and the cataphract got 100-0'ed in one turn because it rolled a 1 on the structure

[west phoenix]

an HMG missing 80% of its shots will still do more damage than a lot of other weapons in the game

[noble ivy]

always love when that happens

for some godforsaken reason, that happens every single time I use a veteran defender...

[west phoenix]

kill issue

[supple carbon]

If i had a coin for every cataphract that exploded from a 1 roll, i would have 2

Which is not much but it's funny that it happened twice

[lyric ivy]

the dice gods giveth and the dice gods taketh away

[west phoenix]

my thing as a gm is always critting with tech attacks and marker rifle :)

but bad rolls are why both of my builds require minimum rolling

[lyric ivy]

i can't wait for (ch1 spoiler) ||Capella who will crit exactly zero times but the support that will crit every grapple attempt||

[west phoenix]

every time...

[lyric ivy]

But so far? I think the players are having fun

They feel bad for the sad wet cat man that is jerry

[supple carbon]

I don't know who the boss is after signal, but im gonna shoot them with an anti-material rifle

[west phoenix]

and then spend your turn reloading

[west phoenix]

the jump from wallflower to igf is really funny, my wallflower group is also my igf group and the tones are hilariously different

[lyric ivy]

I know right?

It's definitely a bit jarring to get used to but I think I like the sillier roleplay of IGF

[supple carbon]

99797th message

It approaches

[supple carbon]

here it comes

t-minus 200

[cobalt zealot]

It will be such a

Occasion

[noble ivy]

It would be fucking hilarious if the mods banned this emote right before 100k

[supple carbon]

don't say that Future Juliana (Joyous Maxxing) ⚡ PNET

[noble ivy]

-# are you full naming because I constantly call you an Amphibian?

[supple carbon]

it's funny, and it generates a reaction

[noble ivy]

it is and it sure does

[clever cloud]

you know what you've done, juji

[supple carbon]

you can't stop the joyous jumanji

[noble ivy]

-# anyways... I watched the homestuck pilot in the weirdest way I could.
-# I paused every minute or so and tried to read up to whatever the panel was in the original version

[cobalt zealot]

That's 110 pages in 10 minutes

[noble ivy]

I was very confused

[ancient crag]

We must them to joy and back

(gender affirming transphobia) ||Now i always get stopped at the airport security checkpoint because my crotch is "unexpected"||

[ancient crag]

Once the 100K be had: Juli you need to check how many was had

And that’s terrible Eleonor

[regal comet]

At the very least y'all are on theme XD

[clever cloud]

yes, but somehow gender-affirming

[supple carbon]

this does not spark joy

[dire cloud]

That's part of why I'm never going to fly again if I can help it. Buses and trains don't have genital inspections.

[clever cloud]

the huge scanner thing has two settings: male and female, and it means im getting consistently marked as F

fucken hate TSA theatrics

[cobalt zealot]

Yeah I feel that, it happened to me once upon coming to the US and I fucking despised it

[west phoenix]

My ex got pulled aside due to a "groin anomaly" and they searched her things. Meanwhile i had a giant box full of wires (an arcade stick) and they didn't give a shit

[clever cloud]

meeeee

I got stopped coming out of Norway cuz i had 4 different chargers for all my crap xD

[west phoenix]

Bruh the arcade stick must have looked like a bomb from the scans, there's no way

This isn't the exact model but bruh, its bomb shaped

[clever cloud]

the norway authorities hate me, they always stop me every time

bruh

"bomb shaped"

[west phoenix]

... Yes?

-# I guess they were more concerned with your ex's doohicky than your doohicky

[west phoenix]

Her lack of doohickey. Tuck game too strong

[clever cloud]

it is a matter of national security, y'know

[west phoenix]

Funny enough she was going to evo to compete in guilty gear xD

Seatac to vegas

[clever cloud]

idk why, but i first heard SeaTac in the context of aviation and it's really weird hearing that it's a common shortening

[noble ivy]

-# ~~ is it rude to say I'm not that surprised...~~

[west phoenix]

Seattle Tacoma airport

[clever cloud]

good bye everyone, airplane mode enabled

[west phoenix]

BYYEEE ILY

[noble ivy]

[supple carbon]

Goodbye JSON.stringify("Eleonor")

[west phoenix]

Goddamn about time anyways lets talk about cool things now that she's not here

[noble ivy]

I can shitpost more guilty gear stuff?

[supple carbon]

You always could

[west phoenix]

Do whatever your gay heart desires

[noble ivy]

nah... I'll wait for after 100k for more shitposts

[supple carbon]

[cobalt zealot]

Where's the act 2 channel for igf btw

[noble ivy]

I don't think there's a channel just for act 2
but there's a thread in gm-corner where Vex has a draft available
-# (you're a player so I hope you use this knowledge responsibly)

[west phoenix]

where can i find the PDF that lists every spoiler in a bullet point list

[cobalt zealot]

I have a question to ask

[noble ivy]

maybe dm bunzi about it?

[steady adder]

https://tenor.com/view/wiemmamoucha-gif-11209033872251917961

[cobalt zealot]

Okay so it's not really gonna be an issue

[supple carbon]

Damn

Sadly

[hybrid salmon]

I'm waiting for the inevitability of 100k message zugzwang to dawn on everyone

[clever cloud]

Parkway visual for 13L at JFK is fucking wild

you're going so fast and still descending and banking until the moment you touch down

insane

look at this shit

[thorn hinge]

I watched about half of it. It's... meeting my expectations.

Well, half, and then I spent ten minutes scrubbing through a clip of a bit at the end to screen cap every frame my girl was in. All three of them.

[clever cloud]

[ancient crag]

Truly a momment

[clever cloud]

[clever cloud]

I am excited to be in Norway tho

[cobalt zealot]

Joyous spam encroaches

[prime terrace]

Oh shit it's that part. right-

[clever cloud]

soon, but not yet

my players are fucking loving ch3

I keep thinking im not doing a lot with it and im surprised by how much hype, nuance and story my players are extracting from every interaction

[west phoenix]

you don't even realize how fucked you made my poor baby girl in two sessions

[noble ivy]

man... I can't wait to run CH3 for my group...
I felt like I rushed through so much of ch1 and 2 because I didn't trust myself with running more narrative sessions ...

[clever cloud]

I want you to know that (ch3, click it) ||This is supposed to be the victory lap chapter||

[west phoenix]

shout out to glory loo she a real one

[clever cloud]

lu

glory lu

[west phoenix]

that is not how you spelled it

i'd tell you to open up foundry rn but you can't

[noble ivy]

-# I thought loo was the horse?

[clever cloud]

i didnt spell anything

[west phoenix]

YOU NAMED THE TOKEN THAT

YOU NAMED HER TOKEN GLORY LOO

[clever cloud]

ur mum

[west phoenix]

we all know glory loo is better than water loo anyways

i stan her

serenity making friends with random NPCs every chapter while the main cast hates her

[clever cloud]

she would witness the horrors and come back unchanged and hopeful

[west phoenix]

thats why serenity likes her

i like how close her a nyambose are despite nyambose not even having a portrait

[clever cloud]

fyi, Glory Lu is (ch3, minor, jenny-cleared) ||The outlander sending the S.O.S. in the Abduction scene||

[clever cloud]

Still stunned by this. You'd think a character like that would be more relevant

[west phoenix]

she is now. relevant by being besties

[tame tide]

Rip the portraitless 😔

I also want to know... I want to hear stories of (Technically Chapter 2) ||Jon Johnsson|| in play

ANYTHING

[west phoenix]

who

[tame tide]

Cool, I know she never appeared in your game

[clever cloud]

we didnt met them

[supple carbon]

Damn

[west phoenix]

its funny that we were on chapter 2 for a year and met like 20% of the optional NPCs

3 years chapter 2

[clever cloud]

bruh there's sooo maaaannyyyyy

[west phoenix]

we need to meet everyone

[tame tide]

Yeah

[west phoenix]

billions must be smooched

[clever cloud]

I could run igf again with an ENTIRELY NEW CAST

[tame tide]

mmm nah

Exact same people

[west phoenix]

kill our squad and restart

[clever cloud]

same 3 npcs per chapter

[west phoenix]

only primo makes it and he becomes ||milstone part 2||

[clever cloud]

AAAUGH

[tame tide]

I think, of the protraited NPCs, I feel Hells gate and chapter 3||furnace city|| are the easiest to introduce

[supple carbon]

[west phoenix]

i know, that's how i feel when i am forced to think about primo too

[tame tide]

Chapter 2 just, has a lot and can be hard to direct towards the players

[cobalt zealot]

99956

[tame tide]

And then there's the optional NPCs

[cobalt zealot]

[west phoenix]

RPG sidequest NPC doing a handwave to get attention

oh my god we're like 40 messages away

[clever cloud]

Ch2 location is enormous too. You could have every downtime there and never meet the same people

[west phoenix]

i'm going to be quiet i don't want to get yelled at again

[noble ivy]

IGF A and B scenarios

[supple carbon]

Don't be quiet, risk it all, be joyous

[clever cloud]

we need the joyous squad at the ready

[tame tide]

I'm gonna start deleting previous messages of mine, and do it enough to shift it down so I get 100,000th message

Starting with this one

[supple carbon]
