In Golden Flame

[icy dove]

Nah, good GMing is offloading busywork so you can focus on the fun shit

[west phoenix]

here you go

[lunar panther]

oof, have you run a SMART test recently?

[icy dove]

These screenshots have been saved and I will begin searching them up once I get home

[lunar panther]

that'd be the place to check first, that's what helped narrow down that it was a SATA controller thing since SMART checks showed fine

[lyric ivy]

loud incorrect buzzer

[west phoenix]

some NPC abilities are missing from the hot bar that lets you apply them to players so you need to make a few custom ones

they may exist somewhere else but i haven't found them, especially the wallflower NPCs

spite alone has like fucking 8 different abilities that need to be tracked lmao

[icy dove]

Hmm, I use Kai's rebake so maybe it'll be fine, otherwise I'll need to learn how to make custom effects

[west phoenix]

i also use the rebake, some of them are still missing

especially for wallflower NPCs

[lyric ivy]

i just make custom status for stuff it's quite easy

[west phoenix]

if you don't have the wallflower rebakes and plan to use those NPCs PLEASE get it. wallflower NPCs suck lmfao

[lyric ivy]

harder to do automation for them but i dont really care for that

[west phoenix]

yeah most of them don't automate correctly anyways lol

just a footnote to put on a character

[icy dove]

I think I have it already but I'll have to check

[lyric ivy]

basically yeah, so you look at them and be like "oh that guy still has Drag Cables"

[polar glacier]

also on the to-do list. Honestly I hit the problems on wednesday and I shut the server down entirely and didn't touch it at all since. I knew if I did anythign I'd be in too much of a panic to think it through and do it right. And with hdd failures even running tests can make things worse in some cases so I'm gonna be careful. I can afford to take time with it. I got a week till next session and even if I'm not there yet my players will wait for me.

[west phoenix]

plenty of player abilities are also not there, but i like that because the bar is already full lmao

[polar glacier]

I see my module <3

[lyric ivy]

which one did you make ada?

[polar glacier]

Lancer Combat Banner

[lyric ivy]

oh hell yeah

[west phoenix]

players just turn their brain off and are like "does this end on my turn???" IDK BRO I'M PLAYING 6 CHARACTERS KEEP TRACK OF THAT SHIT

[west phoenix]

you did that??? its one of my favorites

[polar glacier]

I've been meaning to rewrite it actually

[west phoenix]

it spoiled the surprise that my opfor was spec ops last session xD

[lyric ivy]

if player dont read their abilities i simply shake them violently (through the screen i can do that)

[west phoenix]

when i'm a player i never have this issue!!!!

[lyric ivy]

yeah i'm also learning to throw hammers from italy to texas so i'll be able to do more soon

[west phoenix]

i feel like i'm the only real mfer out there

[west phoenix]

also i'm never hit because i'm slippery jenny

[lyric ivy]

yeah same, sometimes i miss minor things but i know what i can and cant do

[west phoenix]

ok juli

[lyric ivy]

juli i saw that

[noble ivy]

why do you always think its me...

[polar glacier]

Yeah! It was based off a module called "Your turn" but that one was hard-focused on DnD and had some egregious bugs with Lancer. I got permission to fork it (the previous dev never put it on a license) and made it work for lancer. Then I made it work well for lancer. Like 10% of the original code remains at this point lmao

[lyric ivy]

it was you this time

[icy dove]

Stop deleting your reactions cowards! /lh

[noble ivy]

okay

[west phoenix]

the other players don't have an excuse i'm over here with 15 different counters with leader, field analyst, limited systems, sunzi bullshit, and the others just gotta hit the guy and they fuckin get confused

[lyric ivy]

i'll never forget field analyst because of multiple LLs of "HOW MUCH DID IT MISS BY??? GM???"

[west phoenix]

AND THEN THEY BLAME ME LIKE WE'RE NOT IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF GAMES A WEEK

[lyric ivy]

in multiple different lancer games btw

[west phoenix]

i know my player's evasions by now, which is funny because i'm getting rid of FA lol

i get like, 2 uses out of it a session

[lyric ivy]

hold on i need to change my pfp very slightly

[west phoenix]

i feel like i'm usually a frag sig dispenser so i'm going full hacker(wo)man

[lyric ivy]

my eyes are closed now

[west phoenix]

either lich or mourning cloak/dusk wing

[lyric ivy]

i think i liked the other one more tbh

[noble ivy]

Hacker(woah)man

[west phoenix]

no rest your eyes bby

whoa, hey

[polar glacier]

I love field analyst but I do hate that. If only I knew how to make modules for automation...
This is not me volunteering, I have no idea how to hook into the rolls well enough. But. Well. hmm. no actually maybe... hm. NO, I have too much on me already. Unless...
No, no, bad ada, stop. But.

[lyric ivy]

i think this is funny because of it only being very slightly different

[west phoenix]

i think the SSC route is better but if i go lich i get a funny dark souls NPC NHP to torture eleonor with

i would rather have other lich systems than didymos but i want a funny lil cryptic dude

[lyric ivy]

yeahhhh that's my experience with it. if there was a module i wouldnt mind it nearly as much i just hate things grinding to a halt with 6 billion reactions

doesnt help that one of the field analyst experiences was gorgon

[west phoenix]

plus serenity doesn't believe in time travel so her getting a time traveling mech would be really funny

[lyric ivy]

i do not like the gorgon. not because of the core power or stun. but because i like my games flowing like the river

[west phoenix]

lich coded (this won't even be until act 2)

[lyric ivy]

the gorgon throws rocks into my river. violently. they are big rocks

[balmy obsidian]

Hot

[west phoenix]

i'm going to be playing a gorgon in a different campaign soon and... man i am nervous i'm just going to be a pain

but unlike most players i know my fucking turns

[lyric ivy]

i know that's about the mech but i choose to believe its about the river bc its funny

[west phoenix]

and my actions

[balmy obsidian]

Be baffled, damn you

[lyric ivy]

honestly? i think if you're paying a lot of attention and know what stuff does you'll be just fine

also my gorgon complaints are entirely my own lmao, i dont expect every gm to be like this

[west phoenix]

eleonor also had trouble with an iconoclast orator gorgon xD

... i am running an iconoclast gorgon

[clever cloud]

aagh evil

honestly thinking back the problem was probably misunderstanding transmuting spark and free actions

[balmy obsidian]

You can't call her evil, you're for the abolition of alignment charts

[clever cloud]

i said evil, not chaotic evil

[balmy obsidian]

It's a compenent

[west phoenix]

how so

i'm curious

[clever cloud]

• free actions only on your turn
• what qualifies as an action provided by one of your NHPs

they were hitting max iconoclast very very often

[west phoenix]

what free action were they doing outside their turn?

[clever cloud]

it's a gorgon idk girl

[west phoenix]

????

[clever cloud]

it was 2 years ago

[west phoenix]

there's nothing that they have that is a free action

[clever cloud]

i couldnt even tell you what you guys were doing last combat

[west phoenix]

unless they were using iconoclast for every scylla attack in which case they're just fucking stupid

[balmy obsidian]

Scella reaction most likely

Scylla

[west phoenix]

thats like saying that your asura actions proc iconoclast

i think you just got cheated unless they are astronomically stupid

it also says 1/round

but otherwise the gorgon can still activate iconoclast 3 often, scylla and iconoclast 1 can both proc iconoclast 2 which means if you play it perfectly you can hit ultra instinct in a turn and a half

[icy dove]

You can play as an Ultra!? 😱 /lh (also going out of my way to avoid the Goku joke as I imagine it gets made a lot)

[west phoenix]

i genuinely don't know what you mean, but yeah when you hit iconoclast 3 it feels like you become an ultra

[icy dove]

Goku has a form(or maybe it's something else) called Ultra Instinct

[west phoenix]

but tbh its still less effective than just killing someone with a TCB or HMG. guaranteed damage is nice but honestly you can miss 3 times with those weapons and still do more damage than most other builds

[west phoenix]

oh yeah that was the joke i was making

[icy dove]

Lol

[shell bison]

Something something, people dislike dustgrave until they find the niche thing it lets you play with somehting something

[formal gale]

Good day to you my fellow gaters! I get to continue chapter 2 today! Between that and new art of da moff I hope yall are having as good a day as I am!

[icy dove]

Wooo

[west phoenix]

the talents are fun

[noble ivy]

Dustgrave is hot garbage up until it's my turn to play the stortebeker or viceroy

[shell bison]

my point being proven

[noble ivy]

:smug_bnuuy:

[icy dove]

I know nothing about any module besides the one I'm currently running so imagine this is me

[west phoenix]

i am going to remain a dustgrave hater

especially the frames

[polar glacier]

I dunno how the viceroy plays I just know she's pretty

[noble ivy]

the Sesbian mech of all time

[west phoenix]

modules after dustgrave decide to work around the license while dustgrave was like "eh whatever, its an interesting idea"

[shell bison]

[west phoenix]

meanwhile stuff like the calendula uses the minotaur license better than the minotaur does

[shell bison]

Frame isn't great, license gear is good, so we made an alt that uses them in a different way that is argueably better than the base frame.

cough Balor cough

[noble ivy]

Heca my beloved

[west phoenix]

i feel like frames should have uses for their licenses. hot take, i know

there's like, a clear line when lancer started to change. i just feel like the base game and dustgrave are different than how things are designed now

[shell bison]

Well, yes they were the early stages of lancer

[west phoenix]

yeah i just don't like those stages as much, they feel less thought out

[shell bison]

IT's the classic "Game design philosophy changed with time because of the player base"

[west phoenix]

and dustgrave by extension

[icy dove]

I kinda wish more things in HA actually used Danger Zone. Was surprised the Genghis doesn't

[west phoenix]

i think the ghengis, and every HA can use nuke cav decently or exceptionally

[icy dove]

(If I am wrong please explode me)

[icy dove]

I mean built into the frame itself

[shell bison]

Well yeah, HA is the engineer stat user

[west phoenix]

the ghengis is about clearing heat rather than using it like the sherman, but because you can clear it so easily and its so high its pretty reasonable to put yourself in the dangerzone provided you have the right systems

[twilit star]

Where did you get that height chart?

[shell bison]

Like how IPS-N is hull, SSC is agi and HORUS is Systems

[west phoenix]

SSC is also eng and hull so you don't instantly die xD

[twilit star]

SHE’S 6’8”?????

[shell bison]

The only thing I'd say HA is missing is a more dedicated hacker role. Sure, Iskander kind of does it with the 15 sensors and positive tech attack bonus

Oh yeah, Calamity is amazonian

[west phoenix]

sunzi as well

[twilit star]

💐 💍

[west phoenix]

but yeah, something with built in great tech attacks would be nice

[noble ivy]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME I'M ONLY THE MESSENGER

[willow needle]

i made it

[shell bison]

also true, but I mean a frame akin to say the Goblin, tortuga or duskwing/blackwitch. A frame you can make where it's gimmick is the hacker

[west phoenix]

imagine my shock when i found out she was 6'8 when eleonor said she was 5'8

[noble ivy]

speaking of heights...

[west phoenix]

either way serenity is going to climb up in a pouch and calamity is going to carry her around like a joey

[willow needle]

look at them, so stupid

[west phoenix]

why evan so sad

[noble ivy]

now that we know Calamity's tall as fuck, how tall is [CH2] ||Howl||?

[willow needle]

its his literal facial expression

[west phoenix]

[shell bison]

I imagine it's like that one trailer KOF did with Chun-li squaring up to Mai

[shell bison]

Jerry is a single apple tall

[icy dove]

Why did it reply to Juli

[west phoenix]

jerry is 3 calories

[icy dove]

It was supposed to reply to Eleanor

[ancient crag]

I can’t believe Erica is taller the. Jerry

[shell bison]

...there's a joke I could say

but I will regrain

[clever cloud]

you can measure Jerry in nanometers

[west phoenix]

jerometers

[icy dove]

Me when I return to wheat

[noble ivy]

[shell bison]

we return to the harvest

[icy dove]

I become an animal crossing character

[west phoenix]

sorry to deviate but maaannnn wtf do i color the frame

i wanted to do a hyperlight drifter color scheme but i don't think it'd fit

[icy dove]

Hm, could keep the white, or maybe go for green for fey themes

[noble ivy]

-# you say that like her thighs haven't been larger than my whole body since the 90s

[west phoenix]

serenity's favorite color is green...

[clever cloud]

jerry colored

[west phoenix]

juli is 3 apples big

[twilit star]

I will say Tortuga being a hacker platform is on par with Iskander or Sunzi being a hacker platform, in that it’s more just a result of high sensors and positive tech attack being undervalued upon development.

IPS-N doesn’t have a dedicated hacker license, so the only manufacturers with dedicated hackers are HORUS and SSC

[shell bison]

Kidd.

[minor orchid]

THE HIPS THAT SAVED CALLIOPE

[twilit star]

No hacking suite

[west phoenix]

man that interview i had scheduled is either at 11:30pst (which passed) or 2:30 and they are not answering me

[west phoenix]

kidd is tf2 engineer

[twilit star]

Tech License =/= Hacker License, and Emperor, Lich, and Sunzi epitomize that

[west phoenix]

only has 8 sensors and needs other systems to use hacking

its actually very similar to the iskander is that regard- it can do that decently but its not its main thing

[twilit star]

Meanwhile Mourning Cloak and Dusk Wing have Invasion systems

[west phoenix]

and tortuga needs goblin 1 to do its gameplan

[shell bison]

I need to get that one dexter meme but it's Charlotte with a picture of Chun li going, "I have failed you."

[twilit star]

Kidd falls into the same category as Tortuga- it can be a good Hacker due to stats but its license doesn’t aid in that at all

If you consider Kidd a Hacker, then you gotta include not just Lancaster, but Iskander and Sunzi in as hackers as well

[shell bison]

fair point.

[twilit star]

Meaning HA does in fact have hacker frames

[west phoenix]

i'm conflicted if i want to go hacker sunzi or annoying controller sunzi later on

[shell bison]

I guess I just wish HA had some cool tech options/invades

[twilit star]

Tesseract and the entire Sunzi license is right there my friend

[west phoenix]

yeah a new license with that would be nice

i had an idea for one but man i am bad at game design xD

[shell bison]

Lost catalog does well with the Garcia. I like it

[west phoenix]

like, how good is wandering nightmare anyways? teleporting people into the cloud sounds good in theory especially with disable life support but idk if its worth it

[shell bison]

Being a heat gunner hacker to enemies

[twilit star]

I do think it’s kinda hard for me to conceptualize a dedicated HA invader is all- I tried making an ice themed one at one point and it fell apart a bit

[west phoenix]

my idea was a defender/controller

[twilit star]

(I still wanna salvage that idea tho because I luv the Icarus-class NHP I made for it)

[balmy obsidian]

Did somebody say invader

[west phoenix]

no

[balmy obsidian]

Yes

[noble ivy]

Hardly-

[west phoenix]

invades and a deployable- meant to be a counter hacker with its systems

Jealous, I wish I had such long hair

Juli can I have half of yours?

[balmy obsidian]

Pzns

[shell bison]

Cataphracts main goal is to abduct the party member

[west phoenix]

if the GM really hates you they can make sure to frag sig you first

i do this

[balmy obsidian]

For the impaired?

[west phoenix]

mhm

[fast umbra]

oh i was already impaired because Archer

(god i hate archers)

[balmy obsidian]

You already get difficulty though

That might be rebake only i forgot

[west phoenix]

double difficulty

[fast umbra]

we have killed the archer and operator, but it's still 8 to 5 activations, and our strongest DPS (me) is no longer capable of picking off the weaker enemies to lower that ratio

[west phoenix]

mannnn

that makes me mad

[fast umbra]

fortunately we have a Gilg with a knockback rifle who can kick the Cataphract away from me

[west phoenix]

nothing in lancer pisses me off more than just having twice the activations than the players

that and being stunned

[fast umbra]

we started ten to five so small victories

[west phoenix]

maaannn

[ancient crag]

I wish every cataphract a terrible day!!!

[fast umbra]

fortunately we have a Goblin, who is preventing the Ultra from using their ||Wolfhound Missiles|| by just holding an action

[ancient crag]

they arent even like historical cataphracts!!! NO ARMOR!!!!

[fast umbra]

(thank god we did)

[west phoenix]

[icy dove]

Roland? Rol and what?

[fast umbra]

our Goblin has been holding an action to puppet systems anyone who moves the entire fight, and the Ultra knockbacked the team into an Atlas Missile

thus, the Lanny who's carrying everyone was moved, thus the Goblin took a reaction to Invade them with Puppet Systems, thus the entire party got to move out of the area

funnily enough, getting hit and the Gilg getting to use the emergency repair module actually means the party is in better shape than we were before it attacked us

we were so joever but we are now so barack

[west phoenix]

i am starting to have a vision

[noble ivy]

ohhhh the gold and purple

[west phoenix]

thats because serenity is royalty

[noble ivy]

Evil Queen Serenity arc when

[west phoenix]

like, right now

do i make the antlers gold too or is that too much

also wondering if the blink juice in the cape is too much

[noble ivy]

honestly, maybe adding some purple petals or embers falling from the antlers there would add a nice touch?

[west phoenix]

not sure what they should be colored along with the main chassis

maybe like, some kind of light warm brown

[zinc topaz]

the gold and purple is reminding me of calus d2

[west phoenix]

who

[willow needle]

Yippie tomorrow lancer

And maybe we start chapter 2

Depends if we don't roleplay for too long I guess ||(we will miss Hells gate)||

[noble ivy]

-# don't you play for like... 6 hours... how long is "too long" by then...

[supple carbon]

the six hours is too long

we should'nt

[noble ivy]

@west phoenix
Is this Serenity-core?
-# it's certainly Calliope-coded

[west phoenix]

HAHA

yeah probably

[zinc topaz]

don't worry about it

[upbeat hemlock]

I'm rather pleased with that meme for our enby disaster lesbian player/character

[limber fossil]

sick maneuver courtesy of our genius raleigh pilot where our goblin ||prepared a puppet systems to move my MULE Lanny out of the big scary rainmaker end of round aoe and save our sorry asses||

[upbeat hemlock]

puppet systems is, arguably, the best invade power in the game

[limber fossil]

oh, we're definitely convinced of that now

it's fucking nuts

[upbeat hemlock]

up until you encounter a Demolisher or Goliath (assuming to pay attention to the FAQ that says that their heavy frame trait shuts down Puppet Systems)

[limber fossil]

that's what size 3 fomorian lanny is for

[upbeat hemlock]

that's what one of my players is aiming for

[limber fossil]

as am I lol

this is her:

eleonor gave me a devious idea for my token.... (ch2) ||fuck the vol's tech and blink magic, my girl's mech is now a walking firegate||

[ancient crag]

Well

For a brief period of time

Our group accidentally entered the forever winter verse

[tame tide]

What's her job

[upbeat hemlock]

she used to be a cargo loader on an orbital station... and also an off-the-books employee of Octavia Shipping, the Short Rim smuggling cartel

[tame tide]

Not a stapler 😔

[upbeat hemlock]

Stapler is her Line of Sight name

Anyway, she used to be a smuggler until one day she was smuggling a cargo container and heard "Help me!" from inside, and deciding she wasn't comfortable being a human trafficker, she opened the cargo container

Unfortunately for everybody involved, the container was actually full of illegally imported parrots

So now the station has a novel new pest problem, and Jane is on the run from both Octavia Shipping and Union authorities

which is how she wound up in Calliope

I need a bit of help fleshing out an NPC for my game

She's a Harrison Armoury clone, from the Lincoln series, and her "sister" ||Chief MacArthur|| has sent her to live on Asphodel so she can have a something approaching a normal and safe life.

Apart from giving her the personality trait of impulsively getting WAY too invested in things WAY too fast.... I don't have much of any idea yet.

[minor orchid]

THE STAPPLER?!

damn

anyway mornin' you all there

[upbeat hemlock]

[minor orchid]

lancer right nowww

[west phoenix]

Lock the fuck in naana the wallflower

[willow needle]

they are doing single downtime so i have to wait

btw any recommended power from the magus to start with?

[balmy obsidian]

Unveil is very funny

[noble ivy]

Plunder the Void is also hilarious

[balmy obsidian]

Possession is a straightforward easy way to give yoruself bonuses

Heartsight if also funny for the same reasons as Unveil

Eyes of the void gives you the Tiefling player screaming "I HAVE DARKVISION" upon entering any room experience

[willow needle]

yeah im between those 2 and eyes of the void. reverie has the whole thing of having massive eyes due to using an amber phantom since she could walk. (also, a human with 20/20 vision can see in high detail stuff at max 20 feet away, with that power, one can see in high detail stuff at max 5280 feet away )

[balmy obsidian]

To the brink if you are a gambler at heart

The second you are able to pick into other bonds, grab slip for extra funnies

[willow needle]

slip?

[balmy obsidian]

Harlequin's "May teleport twice per session"

[willow needle]

:o

that fits with the whole sunzi sht

[balmy obsidian]

-# Hehehehehehe...

[shell bison]

it do

love it

[noble ivy]

My sunzi player chose that bond power and jumpscared the shit out of a poor casket technician

[west phoenix]

I considered grabbing it but I'm going other harlequin routes

[shell bison]

I do that all the time!

[noble ivy]

also, my Harlequin player jumpscared me when his goofy ass revealed that he chose Unveil as his new bond power

[balmy obsidian]

that's pounce

[west phoenix]

Which one is that?

[noble ivy]

this one

[west phoenix]

Glomps u uwu

[west phoenix]

[west phoenix]

Wait am i stupid do you not need 2 bond powers before you can pick one outside of your main bond

[balmy obsidian]

you do

[noble ivy]

I let my players chose two bond powers at the start since I'm fucking stupid

and want them to take a sledge hammer to my plans

[west phoenix]

Oh okay i was like am i missing something here

Update on my server hdd issues.
The drive is still having trouble. Some directories any access slows way tf down. Some it just never seems to return from. But
Things got slightly better with @lunar panther 's suggestion to swap sata controllers. The bad areas are still bad but the less bad or good areas are doing better. I got a chance to rsync my foundry data off and I'm running checks now for data consistency. Still running, because that's one of the areas of the bad disk that things get slow as hell in... but so far the results are looking good.

[lunar panther]

very glad to hear!

my server continues to have troubles, so it looks like the Act 1 finale tonight will be done via screensharing GIMP lmao

[icy dove]

Bnuuy

[lunar panther]

thankfully all of the actual combat and stuff is over. it's just a bunch of dialogue now

[shell bison]

My Saturday game is just that now yeah, all combat is over. Just RP now

[thorn hinge]

I hate to say it, since lancer is a game that's pretty much meant to be a tactical wargame with some RP dressing, but I really love those moments when the fighting is done and we get to really dig into the characters and their stories

[lunar panther]

oh same

lancer just as a ttrpg feels like it has a really good balance with that

also, I realized that just because nobody else can connect to the server doesn't mean I can't just puppet things around lol

[minor orchid]

indeed... the RP is the stuff we add ourselves: all the intricacies, the backstories, the drama. The book has the bases for a world and all the tactical mech combat!

sure, we have bonds, which is a nice touch

[last leaf]

my party just found a dead vent crab and immediately debated eating them

[lyric ivy]

Average IGF party moment

[last leaf]

in fairness it had died from alcohol poisoning - "pre-marinated" as one of them had put it

[lyric ivy]

You know when you make chicken with a fancy wine sauce? It's that but premade

[noble ivy]

Bruh...

you don't marinade things by giving it alcohol poisoning

it just makes a perpetual cycle of getting poisoned by alcohol...

IT AIN'T MEEEE

IT AIN'T MEEEE

I AIN'T NO (wf lol) ||PRODIGAL|| SON

[noble ivy]

I AIN'T NO WALLFLOWER, SON

[willow needle]

im so sad knowing that wallflower isnt igf (nor that i am hipo as a dm) but i will try my best

[west phoenix]

its very different vibes

i didn't like it at first but once you accept that i think you can enjoy it a lot more

the NPCs are a lot less interesting just because everyone in calliope is a fucking freak, wf they are mostly normal

[noble ivy]

Unlike Calliope, you can't throw a wrench in any direction and hit eight lesbians

[west phoenix]

there is a beauty in the normalcy imo. catherine my beloved

[lyric ivy]

hello????

[west phoenix]

hi my beloved

[noble ivy]

woah

[lyric ivy]

what have i done now

[west phoenix]

can i call you ms. calloway

[willow needle]

yeah i have a lot to improvise and write in that regard. i also dislike that its like the story trips over itself, meaning that it all goes so fast and then ||the best bit of the whole adventure is split in two and you can only enjoy 1.||

[lyric ivy]

sure, why not

[willow needle]

but at least im liking the idea i have on my head

[west phoenix]

naana spoil that

[willow needle]

i mean there arent really spoilers there

[lyric ivy]

it's like a minor spoiler i guess

[west phoenix]

yeah there's the spoiler that you're going to ||have a chunk of the campaign to choose from||

i consider that a spoiler

[shell bison]

I really want to like wf but it feels a little torture porn to me

[willow needle]

i can spoiler but i dont think its a super heavy one

[noble ivy]

I never really read the Wallflower book
but are the vibes closer to how dark some Curse of Strahd games could be?

[west phoenix]

i think act 1 does have just a sense of dread, but i like those vibes- it's like a horror movie

i do want my act 2 and 3 to be less... dread inducing

[willow needle]

kinda

[lyric ivy]

there are some fairly dark moments and a hanging sense of dread over the whole thing, but i dont think it's exactly CoS

i did enjoy it greatly though, not as much as IGF (and i havent even gotten to the best parts) but it was fun to run

[willow needle]

yeah curse of strahd works better as psychological horror and, ofc, gothic horror. if you dont do gothic horror with strahd youre doing it wrong.

for me wallflower has the same horror as being in a ||war|| has. idk if it has a name tbh im very tired to look it up.

[lyric ivy]

it's very vietnam war vibes

[shell bison]

Well yeah, I have no doubt the feed back from so many years of the game being around will change and affect act 2 and 3 of wf whenever that happens

[west phoenix]

i'm really curious how much changes with the act 2 drafts and the final product. the act 1 draft was crazy with having the context of the full act 1- but thats how this stuff goes

[willow needle]

||like if a war movie was treated as a horror movie|| instead of about heroes, trophies or whatever, thats what wallflower is for me

[west phoenix]

act 1 originally ended where the end of chapter 2 happens with a LOT more confusing exposition just dropped at your feet

[willow needle]

that sounds like a headache

[west phoenix]

its hard to tell how good or bad it would have been, but i think act 1 runs a lot smoother

in terms of a module i think it runs smoothly, its just missing a lot of meat

[lyric ivy]

act 1 draft was also written before lancer lore as a whole was even set in stone iirc

[willow needle]

-# just in case, you sent me the pdf of that version?

[west phoenix]

i think i did

[lyric ivy]

it was very different in how it treated some things such as NHPs

[clever cloud]

as a player with limited pov on wf, the way jen is running it isn't torture porn. It feels more like "oh shit oh fuck oh crap" the more you dig into it

[west phoenix]

it includes act 2 and 3 ideas as well

[lyric ivy]

yeah there's loads of oh shit oh fuck

[west phoenix]

tbf you just got to the good stuff

end of chapter 3

[lyric ivy]

oooooh

yeah this next part is fun

[clever cloud]

:)))

[west phoenix]

there are some moments that are like, OUGH, but from a top down perspective idk if its torture porn

[clever cloud]

WF feels like if you don't fucking lock in a lot of things are gonna go so damn wrong

[west phoenix]

thats why playing it with an igf mindset later on is really funny xD

we don't got time for a romcom, LOCK THE FUCK IN

[clever cloud]

but it doesn't say "hey here, have some horrors you can't do anything about. and also everyone you love dies"

[willow needle]

i didnt feel it like torture porn but there are some moments that, mayhaps? there's a lot that can be said they are over the top, but knowing a bit of the whole story they make more sense than just, "torture porn" alike saw movies are

[clever cloud]

it still places agency in your hands

[lyric ivy]

instead we have horrors that you can do stuff about

[west phoenix]

feels like a slasher movie where the protags are competent

[clever cloud]

it's a damn Predator movie

but a good one

[lyric ivy]

||mostly, with the exception of Mountainfall/Tumbledown||

(wallflower spoiler)

[willow needle]

yeah thats just the moment of act 1 i think

[west phoenix]

people who only remember that i guess i can see it being considered torture porn

but thats like, a moment in the context of the full module

[willow needle]

yea beyond that moment pcs have plenty of agency

[lyric ivy]

it's probably the closest it gets but it's extremely iconic and meaningful in the greater context of the story imo

[willow needle]

and still makes sense if you know the whole story

[balmy obsidian]

[lyric ivy]

my wallflower chomo player was also extremely unpunished because i was a fucking coward

[clever cloud]

so you're saying there's a chance

[lyric ivy]

i have since destroyed that woman's mech twice in IGF to compensate :)

[west phoenix]

i immediately bum rushed my chomo player with a berserker and started throwing them around like a chewtoy

it was great

[lyric ivy]

im so fucked up i didnt realise there was sexual connotation to i want that twink obliterated

i genuinely thought it meant like. Displacered

well before i go to have dinner, imma update on Reverie's stuff.

||she is doing a favour to ipswitch of carrying his merchandise to icebreaker. beyond that, she returned to her very inactive behaviour in the dragon's tooth across the whole trip, beyond when someone tells her to fcking get out of bed.||

||the group finally arrived to the destination, wearing pretty clothes, and together we checked out the hotel room we were given. for the rest of the team, reverie went to check the rooms, expressed with witness... disappointment, and then proceeded to leave the hotel without saying anything. what she went to do, apparently, is that she visited a shop/headquarters/branch thing of SSC in icebreaker. she straight up, appeared as herself (no prosocollar), stated her name, and requested to be able to talk with a superior, due to her own communicator being apparently broken. the receptionists were confused, and they said that "the nakamura enclave doesnt have pilots, its just a research area". reverie understood they just dont have the qualifications to know about nakamura, so she asked to talk with someone superior available. but that person said the same, even after reading reverie's commando license, saying it must have been a mistake from the corpro. that comment annoyed her somewhat, as they kept on concentrating in where she was from, insisting that she only wanted to stablish communication with a superior. apparently, the manager/owner/whatever told her they would try to call her tomorrow with a superior. afterwards, Reverie left the shop, and proceeded to then look for the only clue she has for the mission SSC sent her for; another pilot sent by SSC here to seek for the same entity named "Ember". It is not going to be pretty when Reverie finds her.||

[lyric ivy]

i want that twink apocalypse railed

"agility is bad, evasion sucks" mfs when this happens

[west phoenix]

sorry i'd rather have like 4 extra limited systems

they can't play the game if they're being teleported and stunned the whole game

[upbeat hemlock]

Every point of evasion is better than the point before

The shift from evasion 8 to evasion 9 is a 1/15 reduction in damage you take.

The shift from evasion 15 to evasion 16 is a 1/8 reduction in damage

[noble ivy]

yes... but why do that when I can just invest in Hull and take 8 more hits?

[balmy obsidian]

@clever cloud never
punished

[ancient crag]

Who needs evasion when I am deathly afraid of my mech doing a dab when hacked

[lyric ivy]

so easy

[west phoenix]

and have like, a ton of extra repairs

you can still usually be heatgunned

[noble ivy]

not if I L4D2 hunter leap any hackers on the OpFor first

[west phoenix]

ok 3HP havin 2 heat havin SSC lookin ass

you're gonna jump the opponents that are going to stress you 3 times before you even make it over there

[noble ivy]

Oi

[west phoenix]

didn't you get your ass beat by a single engineer

silence

[noble ivy]

I'll have you know that my amber phantom is surprisingly tanky

[willow needle]

SSC mechs having such low heat makes me feel they have anxiety

[ancient crag]

Don’t worry, I’ll use house guard on ya to give ya permanent soft cover whilst you viscously maul the poor witch to death

[noble ivy]

-# don't bully me I was fact checking my build

[west phoenix]

[west phoenix]

2 speed, slowed

[ancient crag]

;-;

[willow needle]

"your mech gets 3 more heat, roll stress"

[ancient crag]

I’m not playing a barb ;-;

[noble ivy]

I only overcharged twice in actual combat and still haven't taken any reactor stress

[west phoenix]

[willow needle]

i want a goblin girl to look at me

[west phoenix]

meanwhile, the misogynistic HA chads /jk

[ancient crag]

But consider the humble IPS-N lads?

[west phoenix]

[noble ivy]

[balmy obsidian]

[noble ivy]

White woman be like
(pulls all the magnetic material from your body, killing you instantly)

[west phoenix]

[balmy obsidian]

[ancient crag]

No you don’t want to be instantly killed

[west phoenix]

[balmy obsidian]

[ancient crag]

[noble ivy]

-# No don't say that you're being homophobic

[willow needle]

[noble ivy]

"we're having fun :)"

[upbeat hemlock]

Hey, anybody currently paying attention to chat familiar with the NHP Harmony from the book?

[clever cloud]

not particularly, just the basics?

[upbeat hemlock]

I was curious about her personality. The book gives background, and I know she's a Sekhmet, but I'm trying to work out if the name is ironic, nominative determinism, or just... A name

[west phoenix]

ada definitely, but i don't want to ping her

ada has talked about her a bit in here

[upbeat hemlock]

I'll d some searching when I'm back at my desktop

[balmy obsidian]

Gotta say fighting on a (act2) ||ship hull gradually desintegrating from the atmosphere entry|| is a real good setpiece, very good

Even got to puppet system someone off the edge (they survived, naturally) which was fun
