reginald and zephyr
........true
the only character i want to play in a d&d/fantasy setting rn is my half dragon based on battle beast from invincible
Oh dear
but also i never want to play d&d again tbh
the white warmonger tiger
Simply fight for the love of the game
this is it
You punch for money
I punch for fun
my playtest where i got to test his build out he got bored waiting for the rest of the party to figure out if a door was trapped or not and just knocked the door in
the door was, of course, trapped
fight the door
๐ช
or horhan
se va a llamar oral lrpm
going to be a hundie, after trying out so many other rpg systems I can
can't go back to base D&D
or maybe gorhan

I am really tempted
to try PF2
for only one reason
the kobolds?
-# ....maybe i could....make a pf2 game too....
i'll need an unbiased playtest group for when the system im working on is usable...
one thing at the time
The mech is used to fight against tyrants and can only be made via funny usb stick
everything everywhere all at once
NO.
ha ha ha ...
While I am grateful D&D helped make Charlotte I don't know if I can go back until Wizards becomes a better company or they read conjurer in the newest system
I need my teleport
pay to leve3l up
wotc is just eh at this point
new expansion or adventure at120 dollars and if you want the maps pay 50 more

dont even get me started on mtg :((
Sending pinkertons just to stop someone from opening card packs is one of those "This has to be a joke" news articles way back in the day
i used to love mtg and its unrecognizable now
too much crossover
they finally got my friends to play magic but at what cost
This makes the onion a credible source
thats half of it but also 7 sets a year and packs cost $8
it wasnt even that long ago it was 4 a year at $2.99
๐
tbh everything is just more expensive nowadays
like excuse you i dont have health insurance what makes you think i can afford these
d&d at least you can just make up in your head and ignore the books
yeah but the boosters went to high in a shortspan
tabletop sim moment
cant make us pay to imagine things
give them a few years
Wild that happened a week before Migs (Lancer dev) joined Wotc
morning leo
I am late to the boat conversation oops
anyways super delayed response but whoever said they liked halo here i was going to say i like how horus mechs look like covenant tech and i think thats why i like horus best
why is nana actually considering a game at her 9 in the morning
wait no, maybe it's her 10
gotta start the day off strong โจ
I can do a 10am wallflower game on Sundays
Incentive to wake up earlier*?*
Okay so I've asked a couple of times but
Last call for folks here who might be interested
#misc-game-recruiting message
We have one slot.
Our party consists of a boosted Alchemical, an Infernal, and a Lunar.
You can play even if you know absolutely nothing about Exalted.
In fact it's more fun that way.
Appreciated, but I'll decline 
I'd be interested if i wasn't reserving a spot in my schedule and hoping to fill it with lancer ๐ญ๐
would i wake up at 6 to play a game? it wouldn't last that long for me considering the hours would go back to a six hour difference
good morning calliope
how we feeling today?
hallo
hello juli
good morning juli :3
whoa people i havent seen in this thread before
hi:>
-# girl me too
uhh bc you gotta pay bills and if you get a cat they'd be relying on you :3
The whole damn day
They keep sending me to different cafes with people I don't know and they're going to transfer me to a random fucking place that they don't even know yet
Idk how long it can take to find a job but i have like 3 months of money for rent, maybe less with groceries
I just fucking can't dude, this is ridiculous
the job market has an artificial unemployment rate and it will be hard to get hired anywhere if you don't have a job
idk how the job market is where you are but my last unemployment period lasted 8 months
my worst day at work was 10x better than my best day job hunting
waking up at night at LEAST once a week and having a panic attack about becoming homeless wasnt worth it
Yeah, my last unemployment period was like 6 months ago and it lasted for a long time, 6 months i think
Disagree
my advice is keep the job you have and go heavy on the job search. like frog said having a current job will make you more desirable
and keep you afloat in the interim
I can't do this anymore dude. I hate not knowing how every day is going to be
Some are fine, some like this are crushing
is there any way you can ask for a reduction in hours?
I've been crying in the bathroom for 15 minutes dude
If you need a bit I can kick you some
i know how it feels
I'll be getting paid next month
And it's a hell of a lot more than I was making before so I have the spare cashflow to help folks
No, it's fucking evil. They treat it like a full time office job without the benefits of a full time office job
Funny i just sent panzer a bunch of money lol
I make good money here, but its genuinely not worth it
im in the same boat. i just lost my health, vision and dental and i work 40+ a week
Yeah I understand completely girl, my last job gave me two mental health crises, you gotta bolt if it's not doing you good
mosquitos, man
I don't talk about it but this job has sucked my life away, i don't do anything. I haven't seen the face of a friend in half a year
out of topic but i need to share... i discovered the way to remove Shorts from my youtube feed, as well as the "ai mode" from google searches. god sent omfg 
Hey that's not fair, mosquitoes provide a useful service as pollinators. All capitalists are blood sucking parasites without the environmental benefits.
you'll be ok, and you've got people who're here to help and support you. i know it just sounds like platitudes but it's important to remember the things that'll get you through times like this
Man if my days are gonna be this shit i don't care about any of that lmao
My one main reason I didn't want to find a new job is because i get weekends off here, which means I couldn't be in wren's game anymore :( i get so much joy out of it
im sure if you let them know you had prior obligations at the same time every week someone'd be willing to work around it
It's an 8 hour time difference, i don't think it can work
well either way don't compound your stress by thinking about losing the things that bring you joy while you're currently under stress. focus on surviving through today and then recalibrating later

They have me working in a kitchen today with no kitchen experience
Its literally not my job to do that
I'm not going to do this, I can't do this
I'm gonna walk back over there and quit, idc if its a bad idea or not
Sorry I'm recording my crisis here, i just... Idk
- dont apologize you haven't done anything worth apologizing for
- just think, will tomorrow you wish you hadn't?
There's no way
who the hell are you working for ๐ญ๐ญ what
Not them anymore
honestly, after seeing the damage that job has done to your psyche these 6 months, yeah good
we're here to help, jen
wow if my boss talked to me like that you'd see me on the evening news
good on you for quittin
yea im sorry you were being mistreated like that thats evil shit
The shit started a week before i was hired, i knew it was a temporary job from the start
... Was hoping I'd find something before, but you know
Was it a mistake? Maybe, but god I'm already so much happier
The peace of mind is worth it
that's true, plus the only way you can move is forward. decompress and like eleonor said we're here for you whatever you need
I knew i was saving up all this money for a good reason
That month of rent my apartment stole from me is now a much bigger issue..
That'd be another month i could stay afloat
jesus no kidding? damn jen :((
have a lead tomorrow, a maybe interview with an old job of mine?
sorry for going off this morning, didn't mean to fill the chat. appreciate y'all for listening and being there for me
well, after the hell that is today
lancer today :)
now im truly afraid you're gonna kill us in retaliation

not gonna lie, it is gonna be a heavy session lmao
but that was the case before too
Morning !
No need to apologize, Jenn
-# if anything, I should apologize for being quiet this morning...
nah, i can go off once i get going, no shame in staying quiet during that
and i know you're not great when it comes to stuff like that, i still love ya juji
I just want to say everyone here in this chat helped me through a really rough time earlier this year...
Reading the stories people posted of their SRT's here helped me keep sane while I was in the process of moving to a new town and gave me the confidence to keep running my own game.
This little thread has become one of my favorite places on the internet and you're one of my favorite people here, Jen.
you too, juli
funny enough i was unemployed when i first joined here, time is a flat circle
but fr i just went through the worst breakup of my life and literal psychosis when i first joined here, i was so scared to be around my former(?) friends because they saw a side of me i never want anyone to see, and once i warmed up to y'all i knew that i always had friends i could talk to about the things i loved
and eleonor running igf brought so much joy to my life in a time i needed it the most and inspired me. other than the crippling loneliness irl i actually feel the healthiest mentally i've ever been, working on lancer stuff and knowing i have igf almost every week genuinely makes me happy
hopefully the unemployment time won't be long, but if it is i have plenty of time to work on a module i've wanted to make (or at least finish the setting for said module)
and whatever job i get next i'll try and make sure its not as mentally draining
and even though i probably have to leave wren's game meeting all of those people and playing MORE igf has been great, and i'm glad i got to hang with bunzi in vc because of it even if i am abrasive and get on his nerves sometimes :p
i might be getting serious into preparing wallflower 
Oh fuck the [lancer's worst kept secret] ||moff's going back home||
Sure? It would be a lot of work since you already have an active game
would be funny that reverie makes an appearance as wallflower happens 2 years before IGF, but its impossible to happen, in 5014 she is still in some moon in the long rim. very well kept away.
there was a mention that igf may happen before 5016, i think it was during wren's game someone brought up that the sunzi is on the market in 5016 but not on the market in igf
at least in hipo's game we have been in 5016
so igf could take place before anyone knew the moffs existed lmao
yeah same here, but whenever i mention egregorians to eleonor she's like "idk you know more than me girl"
wait, what year does wallflower take place?
5014
5014 to 5016
she brought it up once and then i was like "well actually ๐ค " and now she doesn't talk about it lmao
yeah egregorians became a part of union in 5016, a lot happens in those 2 years lol
Is it early 5016? Or late 5016?
I think early
It's sorta hinted that IGF starts on April 13th
in IGF reverie was told that egs are considered NHPs since 2 years ago, and that felt like a plothole as to why SSC never told her. if it happened in the same year however, it makes sense, the moon where reverie was living in was super far away of the Union. for reasons.
wallflower spoilers ||SSC is one of the few that knew egregorians weren't extinct, they plan to abduct an overmind in wallflower||
oh yeah i know, will send you my answer in DMs
A corporation not telling one of it's subjects that they are a person by law doesn't really sound as a plothole more like a deliberate choice(?)
To show off that they are evil and all
But i think we already made it canon in our timeline(?)
Maybe it's part of the ||TIME FUCKERY|| or something, we can justify these plot holes however we want
sometimes the simpler answer is the best answer.
i mean the timeline in wallflower isn't fully finished, nor does it really matter towards the context of igf
oh yeah, it just makes more sense if the NHP recognition happened in the same year. SSC has been and will be a monster towards them but, it wouldnt be the first time they 'gift' Reverie with good news.
Every game of IGF is the prime timeline

||Imagine making modifications to the timeline by simply existing||
||You were never supposed to be here|| kinda feeling

Still, damn what a first act (still in the first act) ||The Tachyon, damn man, The Tachyon is fucking great, fucking scary||
Save me a slot
Chapter 1 spoilers act 1
๐ฆ
i only have 2 possible players, i need 1-2 more, dont worry
@supple carbon wake up early
No
So ....

I would love to play but man, i can't wake up at six on a sunday, or even earlier on the other parts of the year
(the schedule is not set in stone)
Like i have things to do, i have a healthy sleep schedule monotin
i'll be there at 1AM 
uwahhh i work 5am on sundays ๐
You don't worry
how much did it take you?
time? i don't remember
i still don't fully know what i'm gonna do for chapter 5... but i guess its kind of loose due to how chapter 4 can work
The seer
chapter 1-3 are pretty quick, they're kind of barren lol
and then 4 and 5 hit you like a sack of rocks
She does
chapter 3 is like, 2 combats and maybe 1 or 2 narrative sessions
(the village of barovia took 20 sessions to complete)
((when in the canon book you are supposed to just be there for 1 or 2)
i love writing :3
me too.... i'm doing so much for wallflower lol
The writer
false. you're doing what's necessary
eeehhhh
i am going a bit beyond
igf spoiled me, so i want to try and match that a little bit
there's like 3 murder mysteries, a haunted house (its not the death house), as well as that you dont win over ismark/ireena immediatly, they are wary. until everything is okay... they wont leave.
Reginald
not even close, but its something
theres also issues of a rampaging illness in the town, until thats fixed, no one can leave either.
yeah, but you dont have a team and 2 years of dev. you're making shit up with a month or two in advance and it's working out great so far
ifeelthesameomg
i'm also like, completely doing my own thing for a certain part of hercynian history that is not canon but i feel it fills the gap between act 1 and 2 really well
you have to tell me ahh 
im terribly excited to see the (wf) ||effect or lack thereof of befriending Psalm. It feels unexpected by this point in the timeline and it might provide some unexpected twists or opportunities||
WHEN YOU READ THE BOOK NAANA I WILL!!!!
I AM ON IT
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THE FUCK ||MENDICANT TWO IS!!!!||
ive been thinking about rewriting my most recent campaign and putting a book together for it but honestly since reading igf i feel like i gotta step it up a notch or five
||MENDICANT, I HARDLY KNOW HER||
surprisingly no, happens quite a bit as written too (wf) ||they don't escape tho||
vex and her team put in a ton of fucking work, its unreal. its not a one person job
i also want to make my own module but i don't really have a team nor do i have enough to get a team
THAT DOESNT WORK!!!!
i dont wanna do modules but i wanna help on making modules doing the art....
well .. if im not mistaken you're saying that in a channel full of creatives
but i fantasize with doing animations about IGF
one day when i dont have a million things to do
if it gets off the ground i'll ask you, but i know you're busy
I don't wanna do modules she says
Im gonna fill this town because i want my players to explore
please. please. please. i like making art but i'm a lazy sack of shit and i like writing better
i like both writing and drawing tbh.
i like them both but i think i'm a better writer than an artist
it has a lot of plot hooks now!
i'm neither, but i especially can't do art
i dropped out of school for art and since then ive been mehhh
i honestly feel more proud about my writing than my drawings--
That it does
Both are good shutup
thats extremely impressive considering your art

Chat, hit this cat with a True

Thanks chat
my writing is... eh. i'm definitely experienced, but i don't think thats the same thing. i don't know how a module by me would turn out
I think a great thing about playing is that we are just like characters in a book and can't notice the plotholes because we don't have all the information
i have in my mind a specific scenery that i half dreamed the other day about IGF.
||its about that we are in hells gate hangar after recently having completed a mission. then alarms sound off, [WARNING: SMITH-SHIMANO VESSEL, ENTERING ORBITAL COURSE] several times. at the time of its landing and following aperture, when one expects the arrival of just some high-born-aristocrat-feeling assholes, thunderous steps disrupt the silence, a gigantic war-morph smelling the air. Reverie knows what they are looking for. and i wrote a very interesting conversation for them, but probably a huge stretch and wont happen in session
||
You know hipo will accomodate you with something like this
i think im good at writing dialogue and key scenes but .. how people do the in between sections confounds me
i just pass it to the players
tbh i think my players think i'm a good GM/writer because they're good players lol
i already know that (Act 2) ||SSC makes an appearance and has a battle against them||, so I guess their arrival would be fit for the end of Act 1 or already in Act 2.
i have the opposite feeling most of the time ๐ญ๐ญ like ... i love my players but it was pretty much just me talking to myself a lot of the time
i wish my players would interrupt me and do shit
sometimes players make the session for me, they keep on yapping as their characters, and because I made the entire village maps interactable (they can move around it on their own without my intervention) sometimes i have to say "okay i love you guys but i need to narrate some stuff"
my players are quiet when they need to be but chime in when they need to
... The caliber of other players must really be in the gutter, huh?
half of my party is quiet AF, one never stops yapping, and the other has to do equations on how to speak like an asshole before she speaks
my players feel in the edge of wanting to say something all the time for real
Roland is a chore ok?
wow, rude. you guys are great
i genuinely love it, like sometimes i'll ask you a question and roland is just "..." and i know you're thinking of how to word something in a weird as fuck way lmao
i made roland specifically to push myself to different roleplay and man it's a workout xD
reaping what you sow
i tried making a character recently who was like a scholarly mage hunter and i gave up so fast bc i have no idea how to roleplay that
i was like "dm can i please play a barbarian again"
lmaooo
serenity was supposed to be a unique character for me to play but i just eventually started playing her however i wanted lol
archie is a victory lap, i'm just being my truest most annoying gremlin
they run an NHP clinic they're nice!!!!
i want to see how archie acts lmao
they WILL kill you if ordered to without a second thought unless you're an NHP
the character overview you gave yesterday was interesting
i love playing different characters following a specific word as their moto.
my strixhaven character's moto is "time", and reverie's moto is "death". from there its easy to figure out their personality, roleplay and backstory.
-# altho my sin is that they are always lesbian women.... thats the only thing i cant step away from. im comfortable in my comfort zone!
Even her robot character was a lesbian woman
archie is basically
what if you gave the most apathetic person a ton of passion and loyalty but they don't know how to use it
thats kind of how i write npcs! i start with a motto/small writing piece before anything else
it's a really good way to do it i think
man i love IGF 
my friend who had never played a ttrpg before wanted my help making his character and i told him to pick an ideal and turn it into a flaw
he ended up being my favorite character who i ever gmed for
It's great
I don't usually write the flaw in the character sheet, but i think most of my characters have flaws
My strixhaven one is selfish, even though he's a great friend, he never does anything if he doesn't want to, prideful and selfish is a bad combo
My strahd character ||is very friendly, charming, and adventurer through and through, and while he's certainly heroic, i think a great flaw of his is his bravery, he's also hard-headed, another one is that, he very much dislikes staying in one place too long||
Of course the one in Evan is he's self destructive and a coward at the same time
-# in golden even?
What
-# your PC in "In Golden Evan" 
Damn
Good one
I don't know if self destructive is the right word, but
||What do you call modifying your body in purpose of one thing that you believe is the thing that you must do, because you believe your life won't have any meaning otherwise|| type thing
Yeah
im just a sucker for greek tragedy style characters
i love when your heroic trait is also your downfall
The tyrant and the saint....
Thewhatandthewhat
Eruca's (my pc) kindness will get her killed 
You are the Timeline of Hope
That answers nothing
well idfk what you want me to answer
YOU TELLING ME THAT HOPE IS LIKE THE OMEGA PARTICLE IN THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE OF DC COMICS?!
Because if yes that's cool as fuck
Wait is this a joke on how the ||nhp called herself Hope?????||
Good
what the fuck is a DC Comic?
does DC stand for Deltarune Canon?
Hipo go read up, you missed quite a bit, but
You wish that's what it meant
certainly been a day, but happier now i see another kutuzov enjoyer is here
Yes yall yappers I love it
The Yappening
:D
late response + lore dumping but that character was ||the result of a faustian deal made by the high king of the kingdom the game took place in. in exchange for immortality and eternal reign, the king gave up his daughter to a vampire lord (also a lich). They produced a child together, and in his cruelty the vampire lord decided to raise him as more of a pet than a child. This would become the rogue. The princess went mad from their mistreatment and eventually was ejected from the vampire lord's castle to live in the slums of the town he ruled over, and the rogue would escape from the castle to visit his mother. This became a problem when the rogue would return home speaking of the king and his mother being a princess. Despite his father's attempts at confining him within the castle, he would still break out and visit her. She died in his arms before his father locked him beneath the castle for good. The rogue was never given a name by his father, instead essentially being called "mutt/hound." this is the name the party knew him by for 90% of the campaign.
all they knew when they met him was that for one reason or another, the rogue's father was sending assassins after him, and he believed him to be dead after the most recent one appeared.
The party got to piece all of the true information together when he went missing during a ceremony honoring the party. He had built a network of support from dissident NPCs and planted things in secret during their time in the castle and managed to pull it all off flawlessly. When the party spotted a shadowy figure approaching the king and tried to intervene, they were halted by guards that were loyal to the rogue. he executed the king, claimed that he had avenged his mother's life, and revealed to the party the name she gave him as the true heir of the kingdom.||
it was a lot of fun. he's actually slated to be the next bbeg if we ever get together to play d&d again lol
jesus that's long
sorry yall :/
Damn
and he had never played a ttrpg before
which reminds me i think i got carried away the whole reason i was even typing that to begin with was bc i was going to say that his ideal was justice but his flaw was justice twisted into revenge
i told him he had many chances to back out but he said his character "getting the bad ending" was going to be more interesting
June, kindly answer your damn DMs
-# i havent gotten any ..
Senjsndd is anyone here a claspect knower
its that time of the day
This moth is eepin' too. hugs

the bynuy is eepin
good night Calliope
Good night Calliope!! 
Man i forgot what this anxiety felt like. Wish me luck for tomorrow
Good
MORNING
Calliope!
this is very late, but last time on in golden flame:
we returned after like a month off
the clowns have been sent in
I may have gotten yelled at by Bullet after bringing up the possibility of Deepest Fairyland having a "La Croix Lake"
I'm also happy to report that we still treat the virtual tabletop environment with the UTMOST of seriousness (he says, lying)
Oh we do the same thing
guy on the left is from r1999 apparently
We're here to have fun let's abuse the board
glad to see our group's not the only ones
another example
Mornin'
good timezone calliope
guess who woke up for the 7 am thursday meeting... on a wednesday
this was caused by going to sleep past midnight last night due to game and seeing "tomorrow's" schedule
at least ya slept well? :>

well i prepared the wallflower foundry page and modules... now its time to draw and then reading the book :)
wh-
?
no i didnt :))
wdym "how" it took me like an hour
its just the barren foundry game with like 20 modules
Athena drawing a crown on that one drown mid session was wild
Also, morning calliope
I hate (ch1) ||S1GN4L||
im making a leetspeak encoder for fun
Behold, weird ass code
Welcome to the club
||should have let the bastard die||
Morning
Gay morning everyone!
I wish my group ||would have let me kill him.||
Good morning calliope
Stop trying to murder my friends 
Stop finding dangerous friends 
That is ironic

If ||s1gn4l|| is my most dangerous friend then you have literally nothing to worry about 
Friendship 
In all seriousness, of course fruit is my friend
(The real question is if Cel and Eruca will ever become friends)
Good morning gamers
mooorning
You have a hellish journey ahead
Yes Juli is my friend :3
Cel and Eruca may become friends. Eventually. With a lot of screaming and sulking.
this is so cool though
good morning calliope
So what you're saying is that they're going to make out. 
Worse, Leo
Eeeewwwwww
Oh now you act the prude
The idealist and one bad day into murder hobo
When have i ever been okay with hand holding. I'm not a monster
I am a complete and unashamed pervert. 
No, but all the other stuff never bothered you 
all the handholding
mi fellows will always ||tell you are enough whenever you are sad||
-# little do you know, but the idealist is also one bad day away from ||going wolf instead of fool||
meanwhile i'm one bad day from going from ||magus|| to ||magus with a burden||
hilariously we've ended up having two technicians in our igf party
one is a 160 year old grumpy woman who heavily distrusts paracausal tech nad has been on the gate for like a century.
the other is a new horus dude who speaks to a bunch of voices in his mech (NHPs)
hilariously, both of our horus PCs talk to voices in their head

I've got HORUS controlling me!
and yeah, grandma squad has a guy now
neither a grand nor a ma
it's weird
the grandmas and their grandson
Grandmas and the IT guy who keeps helping(?=
and granddaughter
oh
both of the young PCs are horus pilots
tech support and grandma support
and they're both like
well obviously
19-20
meanwhile everyone is like, one's subjectively 130, then i'm in my subjective 80s, and uhhh, i forget what the other's one deal is
but i know she's at least like
our version of 30s_?_ maybe 40s
oh she's also subjective 80s
lol lemme post something i said to my GM about our older PCs
nvm it was our GM who said this stuff
this is a book written by a trans furry lesbian, and we're playing grumpy MILFs
or GILFs
and our GM is the biggest shipper ever
giving ips-n a run for its money
he loves the lesbians apparently
who doesn't(?)
me
I mean
There are plenty of lesbians here that I love (friend)
it's a crime
does that mean i love the lesbians?
Because you keep making out with them?
I've decided to become a better person so i will refrain from saying what i wanted to say
Fear not I will say it for you 
Not what i was going to say

i thought it was gonna be another leo egg comment
I love this tidbit
||fool to oolf||
||Stupid to Wolp||
Howdy folks
Hey Calliope. Long time no see.
Hey Ada! Good to see you again
Ada!!!
Hiii
Been dealing with... shit. Bit of depresson, good chunk of burnout. General existential ennui. Brain ccould NOT keep up with this channel lol.
Not out of it yet but the horrors persist and so do I.
quick recap of the dream team's ch3 ||It's fucking tearing them apart :D||
currently ||They're half way through Roadblock in Steele's Dome and getting exceedingly frustrated at the Barricade cubes. So much so, that Serenity is considering calling in that favor from Ignatius she rejected before||
I was a silent observer when they met [CH3 spoiler] ||And I loved every second of it
||
Oh i loved playing [CH3 spoiler]
Yesss
Every time I've had an observer during (ch3 spoiler) ||she acknowledged them :3||
Would it be triggered by ||friends getting hurt|| by any chance
I feel ya girl, but I'm in the opposite boat. This place is keeping me together lmao
Now I feel bad because I was considering sending you a message to check how you were doing and I didn't because I didn't want to feel like i was overreaching, I'm sorry 
Never
Believe it or not despite how much i bully you i love your company Leo, I'm always down to talk
Whether its checking in on each other or just goofing around
:3
I think that map might be one of my favs for that reason
Evil evil fey
Al,they want to send you death threats irl
I need to look at it actually, I haven't checked yet...
Teehee
It's (ch3) ||roadblock|| right?
Yep
let's see...
Let them know.... I was fully aware of what I was doing and the map was designed as intended
BY THE GODS
Well let's hope my raleigh player doesn't remove the breaching charges by then 
Do they know ||They can raise and lower the floor barricades as a protocol though||
:3
ye
Teehee
Seeing these reactions only make me more powerful
||I think one of the reasons why I made that map so harsh... Is because CRB Barricades are kind ass and map reliant... so I saw an elite one and wanted to go "hmmm, sounds like they need an upper hand"... So I made the map elite barricade central||
I am scared
||I just kinda wanted to prove that barricades weren't useless if given a good map for them to myself||
Then the rebake happened
:)
woops 
Me too
I'm about to run ||lowest bidder work|| with rebaked npcs, wish my players luck
Rebaked is soo good, a lot of npcs that were really awkward are a joy to play now, plus the changes are a surprise to my veteran players as well so the whole table's excited when a new ability pops up
Which ones are the most awkward?
Al you don't understand THAT'S WHERE THE CUBE IS
But knowing that it may be a thing with the rebake makes me feel better
I'm not really upset anymore i just know i gotta lock in and accept it'll kind of suck
Snicker was considering taking them off.
TBF, like... ||I think all rebake will do to make it harder would mostly be it can make cubes at range 3 I think... It's a QA and not a protocol and Drag down as base kit...||
Rebakes can kinda mess up prewritten balance... I remember a vet elite engineer in one adventure beingg WORSE than the boss of the previous mission
Because rebake engineers are amazing
They are kind of busted
||we had to prioritize the eng this combat which let the barricade get away with a ton||
For the love of god I hope naana doesn't peek at the rebakeds
or we will die in Wallflower
SHE'LL KILL US
God I'm running one soon and I'm so excited
(wf) ||spec ops avenger with the shotgun can deal 10+1d6+2 damage because it auto crits when invisible||
nah nah, the rebakes are not these overpowered monstrosities or anything
I won't do that, but i can
some crb npcs are real weak and some are real strong, and the idea for the rebake what to smooth that difference out
For context in the last wallflower session a barricade did fuck all, its all dependent on the sitrep
Rebake barricades are cool and good, this specific encounter just makes it harder
uh?!
monotin, (wf) spoilers now also apply to you.
Drag down did like 10HP across the board, that's a whole structure
You're now going to get blasted by it since you looked
What in the goddamnโฆ
yeah monotin, you idiot, you utter buffon
Uuuuh no because its related to the combat
now i have to hit you with a brick
pls no i will be the support nononono 
Oh wait next session you may learn anyways yeah thats fine Eleonor
imma click it
dont worry i dont even know what yall talking about
idk what are rebakes. is it the NPC rebake book??
Depending on an option you pick you can get scouting
Kai's npc rebakes
Much more fun than core rulebook imo
You wanna know something funny Eleonor? All of those assaults last night had stormtrooper and NO ONE attacked them
Even rebake barricades can be weak reliant on sitrep or map design
bitch im too busy moving 25 spaces
||Hence why I limited it to 2 lanes of 4 width... with an elite barricade on board||
:33333333333
Y'all killed everything else but the assaults xD
Its not tho!!!
||its 2!!!!||
... ||2 lanes... of width 4||
Or wait is it i forgot
||Roadlblock rigght?||
yea, meow is just dumb
Huh... ||If that were the case we should be able to just destroy a single cube??? But we need to destroy both to get it through which would make it smaller than width 4||
I like that next session we're missing 2 players but still considering playing because we just wanna get it over with xD
||Does it narrow out down the track?||
Hard to tell zoomed in
||I think it's just the loose cover alongside it that makes it hard. I just know we don't have enough space to move through without getting rid of both cubes||
||Top lane just pass the first H6 building||
||The 2 cubes are right there blocking the lane with limpets right behind||
yeah... ||That should be two cubes...||
And in front!
yep right there
Al I'm gonna call in a favor to remove your design
Look
This shit is marked unnofficial for a reason... It's up to the GM if they use my stuff or not
Lmao
i think what's really killing them is ||the double limpets||
||Titann snare drone????||
I think it's fine, i think we'll get through it, it's just kind of annoying
oh i havent even deployed that one
||Hunger/Pursuit Limpets||
plus, ||The scout is still alive and laying down orbital strikes|| :))
Anyways Al when i get you I'm gonna go over there and absolutely ||smooch|| you until you're destroyed
whoa calm down jen nobody has to be ||smooched||
Insert IP of someone's mom
but fur reelz, al, your maps fuck

i love all of them
That's my IP

I don't

They're problem childs
a blast with self hate?
||The pavement is leaking||
||Also those binns don't have a size 1/2 cover indicator||
I'll take "things no one but the one who made it will notice" for 500
dude.... it took me 15 seconds to find that after you pointed it out
||These crates don't have a cover indicator||
there's a few like that xD
I am cursed with this
I could let you know
the curse of pattern recognition?
but also, i use my own tht cover so it's not a problem for me
seriously, al. you making this map pack is 75% of the reason i dared to run this game in the first place
I just need to be proud of that
There's a reason my itch IO has...
Lets check the downloads
why so much violence 
501 downloads
No one amongus me
that's really damn good wtf
Without violence
How much do you want
yeah I wanna pay you

Probs 8 or 10 dollar
You can just do that
50โฌ it is
And probably already have
80 or 100 dollars? got it
You can just do that
yea i like to pay for shit. art takes so much effort
It's a weird thing where I take pride in it BUT it's also like... I'm usingg another persons/companies assets so like... yeah I made it pretty but someone else made the art
And then I grab that part of the brain and kill it with hammers
Lobodomy
Is this Lobotomy done by a corporation of some kind...
Al if you want to feel better about your maps would you like to see what i'm using for wallflower
there's a reason why last night people were like "its certainly not an Al map" because the foliage was kind of messy and way too bright lol
Damn
I would like to ask to see it but I don't want to publically humiliate someone who has also done the community a service by providing their time and resources to share with the public
Man i wish i had Al maps for wallflower..
im happy with the wallflower maps i'm just saying your maps are exceptionally good!!!!
the wallflower maps, although originally designed for grid, have a lot of thought put into them and look pretty good for dungeondraft
U mean originally designed for square grid?
Wait are there actually maps?
no official, i can share with you the ones i use
There are no official maps for WF
YeS PLEAse
Solstice rain was the first, first party adventure with official maps
I'm having a headache just trying to find resources for wallflower, it's all over the place
I did 
go again
hmmmm
Drake plus Caliban....
Hardpoint Reinforcement ...... hMMMMMM
Run straight down the middle..... Resistance to all damage then spin up the Leviathan at point blank range
Shotgun everywhere
no, no shotgun. Just several tons of metal running down the center to blast a poor fool with the Leviathan
Hey quick question does third comm use the death penalty(?) Just to check
Well they hung JCH the first so I assume so
Cool
Imagine being harrison, and dying 3 times ||4 if you count the evil future thingy||
hanged
They hanged him by the hung or something like that
he was what? ๐คจ
Something something the death penalty is okay when it's being used for revolutionary causes
Hunged
he was HUNG?
it's a little more unclear than that makes it seem imo
From where do you think they regrow him?
JOHN CREIGGHTON HARRISON 1 HAD A MASSIVE COCK?!?!?!?
shout out to all the people who peak in here and see this ^
:3


they hanged JCH but (a) that was really right the tail end of the early revolutionary period, I'd suspect that Interstellar have probably cooled on the idea since then (other union factions less so). Then (b) JCH was an interstellar war criminal of a pretty spectacular level. Blowing up an inhabited world is a high bar, I doubt many Union worlds have the death penalty for regular normal person crimes like murder and the like.
only for super murder
ultra murder
ultra murder deluxe edition
What about commander elite veteran murder?
stop reading my notes, Al
Isn't that just a core specter
I found Barricade, Engineer and Demolisher were the ones I found most awkward to use and their rebaked versions worked way better, but most classes had 1-2 systems that got changed for the better and made them... I don't know, a smoother experience to control? ofc it's a subjective thing etc etc but yeah
Yeah
yeah CRB demos are silly
Inhale
Superior By Design /HUGE JK
the addition of the new weapon that can be thrown makes them be able to do stuff because normally you just slowly walk away
so outside of threat 2 they.... they're just there. they also get to overwatch so them being near you is a threat
hitting you with a range 5 metal pipe is very funny ngl
Pick up and throw car
oh okay so do they have TSS1
Yeah, so I think
Cos it does damage to something in range 2 then places new cover nearby
So it can pick up a rock and smack someone with it with one nearby

(ch3) ||I named the Barricade in Lowest-Bidder work "Agile Development" and my software dev player went into a fugue anger and destroyed this fucker with a Balor. The team won the entire fight in less than 2 rounds. ||
I ragebaited too effectively xD

i have another positive meme but its more religious :>
-# tho i think a word there is outdated ? not sure myself sorry :o
nah, transsexuals is still valid. A lot of older folk still use it
Like you
i see :3 not trans myself so wanted to be sure
dude i am not writing english today wtf
-# I can't wait until I become an old transsexual
I've decided I hate that paradigm thoroughly, please can we go back to functional and object oriented
Man i don't want to be old, not like this
also, another yuri meme for your use
I wish to go back 5 years in time and fix everything to set up a path for me to become a cool trans old lady
real girl i cannot wait for my milf era
are we just throwing yuri memes at eachother now?
apparently?
Hell yeeeee
oh hey im friends with the owner of that bnnuy

AHAHHSHA
Goodness gracious
My Zillu number is 2. (One of my players is friends with them)
Naana question
hm?
No, i hate objects. Here have my other favorite lang these days: https://flix.dev
Objects are a good code encapsulation structure
I might just be used to it, but I have no particular qualm with objects
Although flix could change my mind
if I learn it
i like objects, i like holding them
am i an object to you?
So i had a bit of an off day today [stayed in bed til' 5 or 6PM and it's only 6:35 right now] but then i rechecked my dms and saw Juli's players' reactions to my kitbashes again and now i feel like I can full send a Tarrasque
cat ass, cat sass
New source of energy for Calliope
LONG
long rim just took on a whole new meaning
I was not a part of this fight but having read the PDF after weโd finished IGF i was like damn
I dont wanna go on a mega rant, but my main issue with Objects is poor defaults: mutable, nullable fields and properties, static vs instance, unknown side-effects of accessors (looking at you ruby), and deeply nested interface hierarchies which everyone seems to be moving away from.
My fave langs are functional first, great defaults, reasonable escape hatches
I would much rather use sum types, records and static functions than use objects again
who tf flush reacted me
i was calling it long "rim" like the wheel
