Oh bribing art friends? I'm familiar with the term
zinc karma
tabletop 👀
sharp grail
ur looking for people doing comms?
i was thinking of opening them now that i have a working tablet
sacred quiver
I got a couple of friends that do some pretty cute stuff if you're interested
harsh basin
Greetings!
So, I was looking for music to play during D&D today and I found a group called Beats Antique. Style is very reminiscent of the Bastion OST.
chilly briar
lol @sacred quiver "Pssst hey kid... you want some art??"
sacred quiver
opens up my trenchcoat to reveal drawings I got all kinds of stuff I know a guy
harsh basin
Ah gotcha chibis, yer mangoes, yer watercolors. Whatcha want, crosshatching? Ah got crosshatching.
chilly briar
opens up suspiciously loud trenchcoat to reveal many kinds of birds
harsh basin
Copic markers? First sniff is free.
chilly briar
reminds me, need to pick up a tablet when I'm in japan next
because everything in NZ is super expenny 🙃
harsh basin
That's because it has to be glued to the ceiling before it crosses the hemisphere.
Otherwise it tumbles into space
chilly briar
Are you suggesting that tablets are affected by the coriolis effect
harsh basin
Tablets, toilets. Potato, tomato.
sacred quiver
Y-yes
chilly briar
tomato tomato, potato potato
chilly briar
English is wild

@harsh basin ooh beats antique. I've heard a bit of their stuff, link some highlights in #music ?
supple terrace
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhringi Hindu mythology related. @faint panther @zealous idol Not sure who else wanted to know. WARNING: BODY HORROR
zealous idol
That was quite a journey
supple terrace
Like I said: mythology, what the [redacted]
harsh basin
There you go, Dragon.
I use their music for my dieselpunk D&D campaign. Definitely has a strong punk vibe.

@faint panther the infobox character template appears to be empty??
faint panther
Thats odd
Not sure why its empty
the template page has everything in it
You could pop this code in for the time being
| name =
| image =
| title =
| relatives =
| affiliation =
| voice =
}}```ugh gotta make another account before i can add images lol
faint panther
@zealous idol You know why the template might have stopped working?
tropic garden
anyways orpheus has info in there now, if no pic
zealous idol
Because VisualEditor is 💩
zealous idol
Although it should at least give you fields to fill
faint panther
it was just saying the template was empty
zealous idol
It gives me the fields.
zealous idol
Oh, but not when adding it.
VisualEditor is bad at many things, but especially templates.
faint panther
yeah i can only see the fields when i already have the base template in
it wasnt doing that on my PC
on my macbook it is now
I use source editor most of the time
tropic garden
i love sisyphus' va so far but for my memory's sake, people whose first and last names are both first names confuse me so much
me, staring at the wiki: "was it...was it andrew marks or mark andrews"
tropic garden
(spoiler: it was andrew marks, and i was wrong the first time.)
hey kimo if i toss you some images will you upload them so i dont have to make an account gkdfjgfd
faint panther
Yeah sure 😄

:0 !!! I’ll have to check it out!
I saw some early gameplay and it looks amazing
hexed hollow
Dooo it, from what I played at PAX Aus it was phenominal
candid sparrow
rip i dont think i'll be able to play it until monday
hexed hollow
It's release date was today on steam
There's no reason why it shouldn't be playable now
Oh i read that super wrong
My b
candid sparrow
Lol
hexed hollow
Noice ^_^
What con are you going to if you don't mind me asking?
candid sparrow
Holiday Matsuri
Its one of the smaller cons and i need to drive there tomorrow morning

That sounds pretty exciting, hope you have a great time ^_^

Ughhhh... I want to play GRIS, especially since it's made by a studio from my home city but I've spent so much money on video games lately... 😣
velvet void
Also mood
sharp grail
I want to play it because it so pretty but I have a ridiculous amount of games on my backlog
That’s steams curse
velvet void
Rip
Most of my backlog is on my switch
Bought valkyria chronicles 4, the messenger, okami
Also got smash
sharp grail
There’s a lot of free games being given away and I’m always like “sweet, I’ll grab it just in case”
hexed hollow
I don't want to say how long my backlog is 😂
sharp grail
I’m tying to get through it more lately
hexed hollow
Oh look game I want to play, then that onre game I speedrum says Hi
delicate light
And yes, I too grab everything that's free, like, I probably won't play this but [insert it's free real estate meme]
sharp grail
but hades kinda halted my progress with playing my steam games because obviously I wanna play it until I have nothing new to see
velvet void
Speaking about free games
sharp grail
Not that I’m complaining aha
delicate light
Supergiant releasing a new game ruined my money saving plans
I already have it, bought it because I wanted a "let's chill out swimming with fishes game". Now I suffer thalassophobia, thanks Subnautica.
velvet void
Lol, the hidden horror of subnautica
I got hit with that taste of harsh reality when the seas emperor grabbed my sea moth
delicate light
I just... can't progress in that game, hahaha...
velvet void
I feel ya
delicate light
When I get out of the safe shallows my heartbeat raises +100
velvet void
Im a masochist so I love horror games and the like
I think I was getting near the end of the game
Was building my space ship
And going below 1000 with my sea prawns
harsh basin
Did someone say Valkyria Chronicles 4?!
velvet void
Yeet
delicate light
I made my boyfriend play the game while I was watching because he is hard to get scared by a videogame, he still got jumpscared by a crabsquid
delicate light
I think so
We heard like a ticking noise and we were like "what's that" then it suddenly attacked him and he jumped out of the chair
velvet void
Oof
sharp grail
I’m so scared of video game water
velvet void
Subnautica is good for you
sharp grail
I somehow managed to get thru soma but submerged was an absolute nightmare for me
velvet void
I get anxious in open water and subnautica perfectly recreates that feeling
delicate light
I have like... I don't know, when you look down and you can't see the floor, this vast emptiness, also going into caves
It makes you feel vulnerable
sharp grail
Horror game: well that’s fine
Chill game where you can’t die or fall into the water: hooooooooh oh god
candid sparrow
The fear of the unknown lol
velvet void
The most primal of fears
delicate light
Everything is so vast, you don't know where the threats are coming from and you have these ominous sounds in the background
sharp grail
still. Submerged is a super good chill game and I really recommend it
candid sparrow
Damn, i should get it. See how long i last
velvet void
Most def
sharp grail
it’s sooooo beautiful
harsh basin
Raft managed to scare me more than Subnautica.
delicate light
Reefback noises scare me even though they're totally harmless, alien whales.
harsh basin
Being on a timer is super stressful.
velvet void
Wait until you get to below 800 meters and see all the Eldritch horrors that lie beneath
harsh basin
Honestly, the deep stuff looks more silly than scary.
Like that brain crab thing by the strider areas? Looks like something from that one Attack of the Martians movie.
delicate light
The reaper though 😖
harsh basin
Wealth are scary for a little bit until you realize they're just annoying.
delicate light
Ah yes, the brain thing is the crabsquid
harsh basin
Wraith*
velvet void
Oh those
velvet void
Those are spoopy when you're in the open with a ship
harsh basin
So dumb looking.
harsh basin
It's like if a kid took a fish bowl, crab legs and subwoofers and glued them together.
delicate light
Everything is dumb looking in the wiki but in game everything is way scarier because of the environment
velvet void
And noises
harsh basin
The sea dragon, IMHO, is one of the worst designed monsters in the game.
delicate light
lol subwoofers
harsh basin
Like, it's got those stupid goofy flap flap fins and it shoots cartoon fireballs.
velvet void
It's trying it's best ok
delicate light
I only saw the emperor which is like, plot relevant and it's supposed to be good?
harsh basin
Reaper Leviathan is the only scary Leviathan in the game. Ghost Leviathan is too pretty to be scary.
Yeah, but its tentacle butt doesn't look right to me.
delicate light
I remember they had to remake the face of the Reaper because it wasn't scary enough
velvet void
I remember when the reaper couldnt smash open your cyclops
harsh basin
I was thrown out of it when I saw the emperor sit.
velvet void
Those were good times
harsh basin
I wasn't aware it could now. I haven't played in a while.
velvet void
Yup
Now you gotta sneak by them all they'll destroy you
No fun when you're below 800
And have a bunch of stuff inside it
delicate light
I thought it could only break the seamoth, so there's no safe vehicle?
velvet void
Yeah, it was one of the lastest updates
They added in silent running on the cyclops to help sneak
With decoys and stasis missiles
delicate light
My goal in that game was to be able to get an invulnerable vehicle at some point so I could explore peacefully... But yeah, I see why they would do something like that
delicate light
But that's only that you don't drown or starve?
velvet void
Creative mode makes it so you can't die
delicate light
I think there's a mode where you can summon stuff but it's not the same, I still want some challenge
candid sparrow
Wow gris isnt letting me buy it off the switch. 🇫
delicate light
Soma had a safe mode where you can't die and I still couldn't finish the game because too scared. I'm a lost cause.
hexed hollow
Nuuuu rip samus
unreal bridge
Oh uhh
hexed hollow
Maybe it might be availible within the hour?
unreal bridge
Subnautica will be available for free after tomorrow?
hexed hollow
From the 15th yeah
unreal bridge
Someone here mentioned "go get it for free if you haven't already" but I can't get it myself
mmm
hexed hollow
Till when no idea
delicate light
I think till the 27th, then it's Super Meat Boy
candid sparrow
Gris is super gorgeous
velvet void
It is known
candid sparrow
Yeah but its even prettier when ur playing it
velvet void
It is also known
velvet void
Gotta play it when I get home from work
merry wolf
just finished watching FMAB for the first time ❤ ❤ ❤
merry wolf
oh YEEES
cedar rock
so many favorite characters in that show
zinc karma
that's a mood, which ones are your favs? :o
cedar rock
hmm
Al for sure is one
Bradley just because his voice is like golden liquid in my ears
Both of the Armstrong siblings too
zinc karma
nice!
cedar rock
OH and of course Hoenheim, he gets a bad rap :( but he tries his best
zinc karma
Al is a good boy... 😭
cedar rock
how about you
zinc karma
hmm probably izumi, roy, riza, greed/ling, and olivier? but i love all of them tbh
zinc karma
im trying to think of anyone i don't like and ig it'd be tucker lol
OH i forgot hughes, hughes is also great 8')
the more i think the more favs i have but those were the fvs that popped up in my head first ahaha
cedar rock
haha exactly when you list some I want to keep retroactively adding to my list
zinc karma
ed is such a funny protagonist tho, this angry tiny boy 😂
angry tiny boy with edgelord aesthetic hahaha
harsh basin
How many of y'all play D&D? I'm curious.
cedar rock
Haha what a coincidence, I also am currently playing in 2 campaigns and DMing one
You wouldn’t happen to be me would you?
celest citrus

zinc karma
😂 we have a command for that in one of my discord servers and we just named it !!youmst
@ madcar idk if ur also canadian then i'd start getting suspicious
cedar rock
Darn I’m your American twin then
zinc karma
/highfives anyways

velvet void
Damn, missed the chance to flex my d&d nerd cred
cedar rock
its never too late for that!
cedar rock
also nice icon FuriKuri! gotta love Ava's Demon
zinc karma
oops i keep forgetting people have icons since i use compact mode on computers
vital lava
How many of y'all play D&D? I'm curious. Used to play a local equivalent as DM, but since all of our group had uni/work, things fell apart. Would like to start playing again online again some day, tho.
zinc karma
aww, that's too bad. i hope you get a chance to play again soon 🙏
cedar rock
true that
trust me there is a PLETHORA of discord servers and forums and the like to find games
zinc karma
i've wanted to try new ttrpgs but i don't have time ;v;
zinc karma
same
i found my groups through fandom friends lol, we just sort of wanted to dnd at some point and a bunch of ppl made a server and then we started a campaign
velvet fjord
we did it, Youtube Rewind 2018 is now the most disliked video
vital lava
trust me there is a PLETHORA of discord servers and forums and the like to find games All my games previously were IRL and I'm afraid online won't be as good.
zinc karma
there are pros and cons to both i think
i used to play irl in uni and now i play online, and they do feel a bit different in some ways, but they're both fun
maybe you could find smth short just to dip your feet in for now and see how you feel about it?
cedar rock
yep there really are pros and cons to both. but it also depends a lot on who you find as your group and dm and stuff
yea id recommend finding a few one-shots online first and trying one of them out
zinc karma
yeah who you're playing with definitely does affect your experience the most, whether in person or online ahaha
velvet fjord
roll20.net is a good site for online
zinc karma
yeah we're using roll20 for our campaigns
zinc karma
i don't like the recent change bc it made them more unreadable for me, but they're still decent ahaha
velvet void
I'm using the shaped version
cedar rock
oh thats true they randomly made some numbers big and bold
velvet void
It's the one I prefer
zinc karma
why did they have to add coins and then make the actual coin abbreviations a light grey that i can't see ;-;
oh well ahaha
ig some other people would like it, bc it does look cool and fancy
i just preferred the old one bc it was less distracting
velvet void
Gosh I love creating characters
I'm looking at my DND beyond account and looking at all the pcs
zinc karma
oh i have so many characters i want to play ;v;
velvet void
I think I have 13 PCs created
Most of them being just class concepts
And 2 being actual Characters I would play in a game
cedar rock
haha same ive got like a whole closet of characters id like to play
idk if I could ever only DM without playing because i couldnt resist my urge to play a character
velvet void
Pretty much how I felt
Started off as a player but then got into DMing
All got into being a PC again about 2 years ago
What are y'alls fav PC that you've played
chilly briar
pc game?
zinc karma
player character
zinc karma
i haven't played that many games, but the reason is nice (they last long)
so i only really have... 4 characters to choose from 😂
but favourite is probably my monk right now
just bc
running fast is so ridiculously entertaining
cedar rock
my favorite pc is one im playin right now. his name is Laurent Vitorian and he is a pompous nobleman who has a huge disdain for commonfolk
he is a battlemaster fighter that uses a heavy crossbow
its quite fun
velvet void
Noice
cedar rock
ive never played a jerk character before him and its very refreshing to be mean to npcs xD
how about you
velvet void
Mine is my first PC I played,
My social anxious human rogue
Who I made a completely new background for after rolling stats
(He rolled really high)
Still remember what he rolled
18 17 15 11 12 9
Absolutely busted
zinc karma
wow
that's amzing LOL
i've only used point buy bc all my DMs didn't want to deal with rolling
hexed hollow
that's awesome stat rolling
velvet void
Our barbarian rolled higher
hexed hollow
I find point buy easier in general, but I usually don't care and go with the flow
zinc karma
well actually that's not true
one of my dms right now said we could pick point buy or roll
our rogue... rolled Low
velvet void
His lowest roll was 14
zinc karma
i think he had negative mods in at least 2 stats fjlkfdj
velvet void
Out warlock and druid rolled below average which sucked
zinc karma
aww
velvet void
But they were a warlock and druid
zinc karma
yeah i just... use point buy bc my dice luck is terrible
yeah if you have to roll low then, that's not too bad bc you only really need one stat ig for those 😂
hexed hollow
the kind of dice that give you nat 1's on important rolls?
then nat 20's on the least important stuff
zinc karma
that is
me in a nutshell
but i want to play awild magic sorcerer bc i roll so many 1s LOL
zinc karma
i have rolled more 1s than my entire party combined
velvet void
My players hate me
zinc karma
i think i had 3 crit fails in one session
hexed hollow
others I roll 3 nat 1's in a row
velvet void
"He crits again."
zinc karma
i only roll well when i'm a DM
i kept rolling 17s and 18s when fighting my players lol
hexed hollow
which coincidently almost killed the character in question
velvet void
Like I don't fudge rolls at all but I roll stupid high most of the time as DM
zinc karma
and ithink i crit twice against our fighter when i was subbing in for our usual dm with a oneshot, and the npc i was playing was a lvl 20 char 😂
zinc karma
the saddest part was
that fighter just lost their crit immunity curse thing
and then they got crit twice 😂
Feels Bad
cedar rock
i just sent a fire giant at some level 5 players and MAN did i get some good rolls
much to their disdain
velvet void
Our pally got a new warforged body and he was critted non stop after
zinc karma
oh are you guys playing storm king's thunder?
zinc karma
im playing that rn so we're almost at the end and it's been... Stressful 😂
oop sry i was asking madcar but nice, homebrew stuff is fun
velvet void
Yeah np just read
zinc karma
i am
near the end
and idk what's happening
our party had two deaths lol
cedar rock
im too new to worldbuilding to make a homebrew
zinc karma
temporary but
mistakes were made
cedar rock
mayb i could do a homebrew campaign but itd have to be a sword coast world, i dont have the time to make a fully fleshed world
zinc karma
my monk would have throttled our rogue to death if the rogue wasn't one of the ppl who died jglkhjgfhf
velvet void
It's actually less intimidating after actually starting it
And now's there's a site that helps a lot
zinc karma
SKT has been fun for our party so far
bc we really like poking around at random things
and our DM likes half-homebrewing content
velvet void
Called World Anvil
zinc karma
bc she doesn't have time to do a full homebrew (final year of school) but she likes writing things so, we've had a mildly-altered SKT ahaha
velvet void
Noice
zinc karma
homebrew does take a long time tho so a modified sword coast would work!
velvet void
The 5e modules are kinda built around home brewing and improv
zinc karma
that's what im doing for the campaign im running bc im too lazy to come up with everything
i just made up a new city for our thieves guild campaign thing bc existing modules wouldn't work for the party im DMing for
(one of the players gets really tired after an hour so we've been doing 1hr sessions, also ppl wanted to just run around murdering and stealing things lol)
zinc karma
i don't mind the short games bc tbh i also probably won't be able to focus for more than 1.5 hours at my limit haha
zinc karma
playing i can last longer but DMing needs more effort so... i get exhausted after too much DMing
it's been a fun challenge
to make bitesized sessions
we usually continue arcs and stuff to following weeks
cedar rock
i average about 3 or 2 and a half which i know is lower than usual
zinc karma
ye same that's how much our games are lasting rn
bc ppl don't have time to play longer
cedar rock
that and its hard to get a good timeframe for my players
velvet void
There's nothing wrong with shorter sessions
zinc karma
tho university our games were basically "yeah we're... we're here together for the rest of the day now"
velvet void
It's all about what people want
zinc karma
bc we'd meet up after lunch and then we'd basically just hang out for the rest of the entire day lol
but that's bc in uni we were playing 4e and combat... lasted a long time... we also had a large group (8 players when everybody was here)
so sessions... were long
velvet void
Oof
zinc karma
5-6 hours probably
velvet void
That's one thing I do like about online play
zinc karma
but it was fun bc we'd eat dinner together after :d
velvet void
Which will sound mean
zinc karma
Nice
velvet void
It's that since you're not playing with people you know, you can drop players who don't "fit"
Nice
I've had to drop a couple problems players before
zinc karma
that's true lol
velvet void
And it's no fun but at least I won't have to see them ever again lol
zinc karma
yeah 😂
so far our DMs have been p clear about what sort of campaign they're planning to run
and what they will expect from the players
so none of my groups had to drop people yet
velvet void
Most def that's important
cedar rock
no i dont think that sounds all too mean, some players just dont fit with some groups
zinc karma
we had a sort of like, pre-game discussion about people's comfort zones etc
velvet void
Also important to have
zinc karma
yeah it's better for everyone if you just go and find the game style you like
bc you'll have more fun, and the game you leave will also have more fun lol
instead of constantly butting heads w each other
also tbh there are many ttrpgs out there so people might enjoy another game more than dnd and that's ok
velvet void
Man, I'm actually gonna start up another campaign soon and I'm actually excited for that
Since I've had this setting idea
Getting news players to DM is almost like a high for me lol
zinc karma
oooo have fun!
velvet void
Fun seeing what kinda stories they create
zinc karma
ahaha our dm posted this a couple months ago and it was funny to see what all the players were like
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/355129883350794240/435659195040137217/unknown.png
almost all the players picked exploring 😂
but i think that's also why most of us voted for SKT when we finished our first module thing, bc the DM said that would have more exploring lol
dm: shows everybody the expanded sword coast map for SKT
us: we will never do the main quest ever again u know this right
velvet void
My players are the complete opposite, they like Story more than anything
Which is good so do I
zinc karma
a lot of us also chose story actually! but exploring was almost unanimous
maybe not first choice but everybody enjoyed it ahaha
velvet void
Lol
zinc karma
lemme retype that 😂
velvet void
But no, my players heavily prefer the story elements of my campaign and getting them to side track or explore is impossible
zinc karma
i joined my second campaign bc it sounded more story-focused and serious, but it's gotten sillier after the second party fused with mine 😅 (they were having severe attendance problems)
but that's ok im still having fun, though i'll miss the dynamic our original party had :'D
velvet void
Sounds dank
zinc karma
i sort of wanted a change of pace bc the game i've been playing in longer has been appropriately named "chaos party"
which is fun and i love them but i wanted smth more serious that's not possible w that group 😂
velvet void
I feel ya
zinc karma
accidentally becomes party leader bc i played the most and i make good decisions >_>
velvet void
My player group goes both ways
zinc karma
somehow the monk is the most reasonable
velvet void
I mean, they usually do have high(ish) wisdom
zinc karma
yeah
every monk pc story i've heard in the past tho just seems to act like they run in really fast and punch things first 😂
so it's a bit funny that i am not like that at all haha
i was also the voice of reason as... the rogue in my uni's 4e campaign lol
velvet void
Pretty much, although I was a player in a game with someone who played a proper monk
He actually RPd really well as him
zinc karma
friends: aren't... why don't you steal things
me: if i take my eyes off you for THREE SECONDS one of you guys will probably challenge the other to a duel to the death again
zinc karma
the rogue in our chaos party is a sweet guy and he's fun to play with but omg he makes some Extremely Questionable Decisions to put it mildly 😂
LOL yeah my rogue was a drow
i was neutral good 😂
velvet void
Our pally was pretty much a bully
zinc karma
so far my monk has been voted "Most likely to become a serial killer by end of campaign"
velvet void
What even
zinc karma
i commit murder one time and they never let it go
our fighter has murdered way more people
our druid is the token good character of our mostly-neutral-party and the druid is a tiny tiny gnome and i love her
velvet void
The funny thing be, I actually made a point about that in game with my Barbarian
In the current game I'm a player in
I'm the only frontline "tank" and everyone else is ranged
vital lava
maybe you could find smth short just to dip your feet in for now and see how you feel about it?
Are there any hubs to find these places for sessions like that?
zinc karma
i think madcar had a discord?
cedar rock
there sure are!
zinc karma
but there are probably other places too
cedar rock
yea I could point you over to the server im on if youd like but there are plenty of them!
velvet void
👌
vital lava
Oh uh, is it US or EU-based?
zinc karma
@ furi: to be fair the reason why i was the player most voted to have a serial killer by the end of the campaign was bc the one npc murder i committed was an actual murder, improvised on the spot to be thorough enough that i would get away with it, and then i also walked away with 900pp and nobody caught me 😂
cedar rock
there are mostly US people on it but there are some EU as well I believe
vital lava
Good. Well, I'd appreciate the invite, then.
zinc karma
i hope you find ppl to play with!
velvet void
As do i
zinc karma
anyone can be a murderhobo
but only a few can get away with it B)
zinc karma
that would be our fighter lol
she has a list of receipts and it's the funniest thing
our sorcerer is on there for getting her thrown in jail once 😂
velvet void
My rogue in the game I DM shot a halfling child one time and no one in or out of game never let him forget it
zinc karma
so far none of us have attacked children 😂
though ig my monk sort of... let one die ig
he's true neutral tho lol
velvet fjord
in one game I was in, I was playing a svirfneblin warlock
our paladin decided to hurl me at a demon lord
velvet void
But the thing that really showed the type of character he is was how he didn't regret it
cedar rock
lmao
in my first online game i was the only medium sized player
i did a LOT of gnome hurling
zinc karma
oh my god 😂
our party is hilariously sized atm
the original party, from tallest to shortest:
8'6" dragonborn sorcerer
6'9" tiefling fighter
6'5" tiefling monk
6'0" tiefling rogue
3'0" gnome warlock
2'6" gnome druid
the gnomes are twins
velvet void
Tiefling squad
zinc karma
yeah honestly
zinc karma
it was amazing bc our party had
0 common races in dnd 😂 and none of us could understand elven jfdkljgfhl
omg
velvet void
The next tallest was the half elf ranger at 5 feet 5 inches
zinc karma
yeah i carry the gnomes around p often, im the monk chariot lol
they get to decide where i move by turning my head w my horns like handlebars
even when encumbered i move faster than anyone else in the party so i can carry both of them and feel like it's pacific rim
velvet void
"Gipsy Danger, online"
zinc karma
we temporarily swapped out some characters recently though bc we wanted to play some alts, and somehow all 3 tieflings left 😂
i wanted to play a wizard for a bit
but i'll be swapping back after this mini arc bc i miss my punch son
cedar rock
funny that we all started talkin about dnd cause im actually prepping for my session tonight
my players are gonna hunt down a corrupt guard to steal his giant slayer greataxe
zinc karma
oh nice!
i don't remember how we got that
i think our fighter just like
robbed him or something lol
zinc karma
also pyrhos wanted a link in case you didn't see!
cedar rock
they arent playing very uhhh
zinc karma
since furi and i sort of kept talking whoops
cedar rock
oh i linked him dont worry thank you
zinc karma
o7
cedar rock
but my players characters arent exactly known for their thinking outside the box
zinc karma
i'm trying to decide what we're going to do on sunday for my own game bc i wanted to do some smaller crimes now that we just wrapped up a long arc
cedar rock
if i gave them a puzzle in a dungeon theyd probly try to blow up the dungeon before they attempted to solve it
zinc karma
oh no 😂
our rogue thinks... too much outside the box
or ig thinks with what's in his pants except he can't wear pants so kilt ig
he's basically a bard
but a rogue 😂
but... also a paladin bc he wantd to multiclass since he enjoyed paladin more
cedar rock
ooo thats a interesting sounding multiclass
zinc karma
which is fair bc he was v bad at playing rogue like a rogue and if he's happier with a giant sword then all the power to him
cedar rock
i dont think ive seen that combo before
zinc karma
he had lots of difficulty setting up for sneak attack damage and would always go and try to solo things and then not have SA 😂 so paladin will probably fit his preferred combat style more haha
every single one of our casters were new players at the start of the campaign so it was pretty funny
i chose monk specifically so i wouldn't have to learn magic
then 3 new people were all playing purely magic classes so i ended up learning 3 different magic classes at once to help gjlfkhjg
er 4 magic classes bc one of the players eventually stopped playing but she was a wizard lol
cedar rock
lmao i wish my parties were like that
in my group of close friends that i dm for
everyone is always martial
zinc karma
lol whoops
cedar rock
then there are treasures and stuff that are like ALL scrolls and stuff
and theyre like welp guess we cant use any of this xD
rain depot
in the party in which i currently play the highest strength is me, the paladin, with a 10
zinc karma
i mean one of my campaigns we started joking that we were all jocks
bc before we combined both parties
we had a fighter, a ranger, a barbarian, and me as a hexblade warlock but he didn't know he was a warlock so he was also shredded
our party bonding time was jogging in the morning w grandma (the fighter)
rain depot
thats brilliant
zinc karma
meanwhile the other party had a fighter, a rogue, a bard, and a druid lol
cedar rock
i know just what you mean with overthinking characters. in my tuesday game im playing in, a fellow party member tried to mindgame everything so hard to the point where while we had contraband in our house the player went without telling the party and CALLED THE COPS ON OURSELVES. then all of our contraband got confiscated. and we were so angry at him like, WHAT WAS YOUR PLAN HERE???
zinc karma
me: oh no im the one magic person in this party except he's dumb and doesn't know he's a warlock yet
omg how did that happen im laughing so hard jlkhjfglg
i am definitely the overthinking party member haha
cedar rock
its so complicated
i couldnt even follow his logic
he was playing 5d chess
and lost
zinc karma
i try to tone it back tho unless ppl are actually making really dumb plans bc i don't want to constantly go "no that won't work bc [lists at least 3 reasons why it'll go wrong]"
and that's like, a moodkiller if someone does it constantly 😂
but omg my party is so bad at planning, pls, guys, use logic
our fighter is p good at dnd logic things ooc bc they've also played a lot of games
but their character is an aggressive reckless murderhobo 😂
vital lava
Can't play a master strategist unless you actually are one 
zinc karma
lol yeah
im having the time of my life as a wizard tbh
im gonna miss him when i swap back to monk
my monk has accidentally become the party strategist just bc he is the least underqualified hjlgfkhj
he's just highly invested in not-dying
which can be surprisingly difficult w our rogue in the party jlkg
vital lava
Unfortunate that you can't post images here. I'd love to link the 4chan Sir Bearington DnD post, it's hilarious.
cedar rock
haha that is a classic
zinc karma
omg i love that one
cedar rock
my favorites are that one and the guy who tried to taunt the orc but kept failing his rolls
and they got married
zinc karma
yes i love that one omg
so many silly dnd stories
(tbh there's nothing wrong w our rogue i love him, i just think he just expects dnd to have more random improv than the system allows, so he might enjoy a more freeform ttrpg 😂 )
hexed hollow
You can post it to imgur then post the imgur link here @vital lava
And this is the only channel that allows for posting images
vital lava
zinc karma
i love that
so much
zinc karma
i think our rogue tries to do shenanigans like that
except he just expects it to happen without actually doing the planning part 😂
hexed hollow
I love it

so ghost trick
opaque quail
love a good Ghost Trick
i haven't played it in years and need to find my copy but dang.
hasty kernel
Unsurprising that the makers of great games have great taste in games
supple terrace
Hypocritical joking: Geez, ya'll are nerds.

Missile is the cutest dog ever
tranquil matrix
haha
cedar rock
he won me over in ghost trick
supple terrace
But Madcar, have you seen the actress for Cerberus?
cedar rock
No! ive only heard about them! haha
opaque quail
There's a bit in that game where Missile goes 'I just wanted to say.... Welcome!' and the cuteness has been burned into my mind ever since.
storm wing
What on earth is ghost trick?
supple terrace
Her owner posted pictures last night. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521035166471159828/522671827651264513/image0.jpg
hasty kernel
A very very good one
opaque quail
A truly classic hidden gem!
hasty kernel
But unfortunately a very overlooked one
hasty kernel
It had incredible animations for its time though
north hamlet
It's very very good
cedar rock
YES SHES ADORABLE
opaque quail
Solo is an actress and a model.
cedar rock
shes got it all!
hasty kernel
slate pike
it's a ds game where you are a detective
hasty kernel
Here is an example featuring the best detective
supple terrace
No worries! Reminding the world of adorable doggos and other animals is vital!
hasty kernel
Wait, no, thats wrong
cedar rock
indeed it is
opaque quail
Ghost Trick's style is also phenomenal, that's what's gonna keep it young forever visually.
opaque quail
Excellent point excellent point
hasty kernel
I miss him
opaque quail
Me too 😦
hasty kernel
He needs to return in AA7
north hamlet
The mobile port is apparently very good
hasty kernel
At least they made a reference to him in AA6 showing that he wasnt forgotten
north hamlet
Go play it now
opaque quail
I'm glad we've all really tapped into this detective love tonight, great job team.
I've been playing Katamari Damacy but now I gotta add Ghost Trick on my list for a replay.
opaque quail
I would love to do an Ace Attorney replay but the commitment is.............. too much.
hasty kernel
The other problem with Ace Attorney
Is that once you figured out the solution, the gameplay loses its edge
opaque quail
It's the only time I'm grateful for my poor memory. 😄
cedar rock
now im just thinking about godot now. he was my favorite in those games
north hamlet
At that point you play for the story
cedar rock
and his theme! URGH so good
hasty kernel
Oh his theme was great
opaque quail
I can usually remember who did it but sometimes the evidence path they want you to take there is a bit uhhh meandering.
Ugh what a good theme
zinc karma
@ uno : omg when i played investigations the first time, i solved the final case 2 hours before the game would let me do things, and it was ..... frustrating
opaque quail
I'd just let it play whenever he popped up in game.
hasty kernel
My favourite theme is probably
cedar rock
i just posted it in music if anyone wants to take a trip back in time
zinc karma
so agreeing about the AA thing 😂
opaque quail
i do.
hasty kernel
Investigations Allegro from Apollo Justice Ace Attorney
storm wing
I have a really good memory for video games alone
opaque quail
Oh the Mystery Skulls video!!!!
zinc karma
ok i gotta go talk in my dnd server now bc the rogue is once again making ridiculous plans tht won't work fjsdkljsd
opaque quail
Also excellent
storm wing
So I remember every piece of evidence I need when I get to the part
marsh cloud
Hmmm
storm wing
So my plan is to wait like 5 more years and then play it again and hopefully I'll forget by then
hasty kernel
In general Ace Attorney was good at making sad music
storm wing
Yes
opaque quail
In general Ace Attorney was good at making sad.
hasty kernel
True, true
Yknow what Im surprised about though
Phoenix and Maya still arent together, despite how much teasing that ship got
opaque quail
I'm excited to play it!!! Over the holiday hopefully 🤔
candid sparrow
Have fun with it! Its pretty short, maybe 4 hours so you can probably beat it in 1 sitting
hasty kernel
Also, why havent we heard back from Lana Skye yet?
opaque quail
Oh I didn't know it was such a small game! I'll make sure to cherish every second.
hasty kernel
Since we last saw her, Ema has helped out Edgeworth on some cases, tried to become a forensic scientist, failed, become a disgruntled detective, retook the exam, and succeeded, becoming a less disgruntled forensic scientist
Youd think by that time wed at least hear from Lana
storm wing
Real talk though
opaque quail
All this AA talk has really thrown me into like 2010 when I played Trials and Tribulations and the adrenaline rush the last case of the game gave me. 😄
opaque quail
Oh man........ I mean it's gotta be first game's finale I think.
cedar rock
the one with edgeworths mentor?
opaque quail
Though it's been a while since I played.
hasty kernel
Oh man, thats a difficult one
opaque quail
I think last case in all three of the original games.
storm wing
Third game's penultimate case for me
hasty kernel
Personally, Id say Final case of AA6
opaque quail
Oooo!
hasty kernel
Because that was less of a punch in the gut, and more of a dropkick in the gut
cedar rock
the one with edgeworth and his mentor is my favorite, i dont remember where it took place tho
hasty kernel
And an amazing twist
hasty kernel
Well, if you didnt, you know what you have to do
storm wing
Also the last case of the second game
opaque quail
I still haven't beaten AA6
storm wing
That was tense
opaque quail
The original trilogy really did not pull any finale punches
hasty kernel
Well then, you need to beat AA6
Believe me, its more than worth it
Dont say I didnt warn ya though
storm wing
Which one is AA6?
opaque quail
I bet!! It's been a real shame because I feel like the last couple AA games I haven't been able to keep as focused on them.
hasty kernel
Spirit of Justice
storm wing
Ahhh yeah I really need to play that one
hasty kernel
In my eyes, a contender for best Ace Attorney game so far
opaque quail
What I have played of Spirit of Justice is very good.
hasty kernel
But I have a slight bias with it, so, yknow
Even the filler case felt great
And was a real tearjerker
opaque quail
I think it's really balanced out the cast in a nice way, I don't feel like I haven't seen enough of anyone
storm wing
I played the demo and was like "I need to play this" but I'm saving money rn so I can't buy it
opaque quail
......except gumshoe
hasty kernel
Gumshoe 😦
cedar rock
man I played like 2 or 3 of these games you all have opened my eyes to how many there are in this series
i guess i know what i need to delve deeper into sometime
opaque quail
O h m a n
hasty kernel
But yeah, I feel like the last case of Spirit of Justice is the last case to beat all last cases
It felt like an amazing finale
opaque quail
There are..... 9 AA games total plus a crossover with professor layton
cedar rock
9???
hasty kernel
There are 11
cedar rock
11???
opaque quail
11????
hasty kernel
AA1-6
cedar rock
XD
opaque quail
lmao
hasty kernel
Well, we never got Dai Gyakuten Saiban 1 and 2 over here
Its a bit too, yknow, japanese
opaque quail
Okay I'm still proud of myself.
Yeah can't localize historical Japanese into burgers.
hasty kernel
Someone on youtube is translating the second one
But they are stuck on the second case
Or busy or something
cedar rock
omg when you said 9
storm wing
Not_enough_burgers.png
hasty kernel
Aye
cedar rock
nine hours, nine persons, nine doors
hasty kernel
Played through all of them
cedar rock
ugh that is also a great detective game
cedar rock
i started a little bit of the second but i just loved the art style of the first so much more than the second
hasty kernel
And involves multiple paradoxi, which I personally dont like
zinc karma
999!
hasty kernel
Also it looks less good than the previous games, since it was a budget downgrade
zinc karma
i've only played the first
hasty kernel
I mean, I guess Id still try the third one
But I ultimately was kind of disappointed by it
zinc karma
i... im still angry................ but bc i was a fool and didn't understand how VNs worked lol
what happend was i correctly guessed all the correct true ending doors on my first playthrough of 999
so when i got to the end bc i didn't have the prerequisite yet it just sent me back to the start
and i was so angry 😂
cedar rock
lmao
opaque quail
I...... could not get into 999
zinc karma
that's ok!
cedar rock
pitchforks!
opaque quail
I have tried! And I respect the series. But alas.
zinc karma
my friend recommended it to me bc he wanted to watch me play
i got stuck on the firstpuzzle for like 30min embarrassingly
hasty kernel
Danganronpa is also great
cedar rock
oooh i have not played danganronpa
hasty kernel
It probably has my favourite gameplay of the 3 big investigative series
cedar rock
how many games are in that series?
zinc karma
but somehow no other puzzle in the game took me more than 5min to solve even tho i accidentally skipped the instructions for 2 really late puzzles
and i managed to bungle my way through it going "well probably has to do with 9 and digital roots" /clicks randomly
hasty kernel
Id play them in exactly that order too
Because they do base their story on previous games
hexed hollow
The 999 series is amazing but i can understand why people don't like them
zinc karma
yeah ahaha
hasty kernel
Danganronpa is very different stylistically compared to the other 2
hexed hollow
Which reminds me i need to finish 999 and play ZTD
zinc karma
my friend laughed at me while i was playing bc i kept doing things right hglkdflg
hexed hollow
That's what I've heard
zinc karma
but he was a good man and didn't spoil me
probably bc he knew i didn't want spoilers but also bc he said he wanted to see how far i'd continue the correct door streak fjlkg
hexed hollow
I've played through VLR completely and that was amazing
hasty kernel
VLR was great, yes
Anyway, I recommend Danganronpa if you like a more fast-paced investigative game, and dont mind some more weeb tropes
hexed hollow
Heck Dio, that is all
hasty kernel
Oh and, uh, blood I guess
... and brutal executions
... You know, when you really think about it, Danganronpa is kind of an EFF'd up series
hexed hollow
Just a lottle bit
zinc karma
i have not played bc the art style isn't really my thing, but i might give it a shot at some point
too many games to try and not enough free time ;-;
storm wing
Tbh I've never been good with death so I've steered clear of the dangly rumpus franchise
zinc karma
that's fair
hexed hollow
So is Mirai Nikki, completely differant genre but stil
zinc karma
i'd avoid 999 too then ahaha
hasty kernel
Anyway, Im a big fan of Danganronpas artstyle, its very distinct
zinc karma
hades isn't v graphic either
opaque quail
Zagreus, at least, is a young adult who can't really die.
zinc karma
yeah ahaha
hexed hollow
Danganronpa is on that long list of games to play eventually 😂
storm wing
Yeah, all the enemies just get thanos'd when you beat them
hexed hollow
For now I have GRIS x3
zinc karma
it's like p cartoony blood ig, so it doesn't bother me even tho normally im kinda :s w gore
storm wing
Also have you tried killing a rebellious teenager?
hexed hollow
That sounds like effort, so no
zinc karma
it's more like "woo, game over transition" instead of "oh wow those are. yup. those are their insides."
marsh cloud
Wasn't the blood pink in Danganronpa to get it on TV?
hexed hollow
Probably, it wouldn't suprise me
hasty kernel
I think it was just style to be honest
The original version had red blood
Like, the one that never was finished
marsh cloud
Because of the intricacies of the Japanese game rating system, blood in this game is colored pink. ... But the pink blood also goes along with the main artistic style of Dangan Ronpa
Yeah it wasn't for TV just general ratings in Japan
Red blood would've probably landed it an R rating or something.
severe blade
the blood is green in PUBG😕
marsh cloud
Isn't that for censorship in Korea and China?
I think you can make the blood purple having twitch prime and connecting it to your account
severe blade
Yes, and every time I kill a man it makes me feel like I kill a zombie with fungus...
severe blade
Actually not because enemies with a grassland environment really confuse me that if I hit them or not😂

Like in every related fiction, Hades is a bit less impressive and intimidating in personality 😦 I guess he's no Ares.
