[analog nest]

i could see my silly being an odile situation

craft wise

[old prairie]

Where they are unusually good at using other craft types?

[narrow lynx]

they should make it if you roll two 20s you get a tri-type /j

[fossil juniper]

my goober would definitely be probably a pure rocjk type sitch with defensive and movement buffing crafts because of their planned backstory

[cinder hound]

I planned on doing that but pivoted last second when i realized i didn’t like the idea of being from the forgotten country

[fossil juniper]

they should!

[analog nest]

yeah, the guy is a wide traveler, so it wouldn’t be too crazy to think they would have some talent in it

[fossil juniper]

really shocked only 2 are from there

[narrow lynx]

they’d be too resistant to everything

[fossil juniper]

well you actually just get resistances based on one of your craft types because i think mira functions basically as a scissors type

[analog nest]

yeah i believe so

[narrow lynx]

if you get a 1 you don’t get a craft type

[fossil juniper]

exactly

[strange robin]

Knuckle Craft
Witty Craft

[old prairie]

Iseki but they get NOTHING special, not even things everyone is born with

[fossil juniper]

poor guy got pin type 💔💔💔

[narrow lynx]

if you get a 21 you get an egg craft type trust

[analog nest]

egg

[fossil juniper]

true that’s in the rules

[cinder hound]

Change God craft type

[fossil juniper]

just body craft

[narrow lynx]

egg > change

[strange robin]

You get Wish Craft

[analog nest]

time craft

[fossil juniper]

“oh you’re fighting me? you don’t have a heart anymore sorry”

[fossil juniper]

kills you instantly

[analog nest]

[narrow lynx]

craft craft
the craft of crafts

[fossil juniper]

also known as the GM!

[analog nest]

you craft your own craft with craft craft

[sweet bane]

Meta-craft

[old prairie]

Would this hypothetical Isekai person be able to see colors? Remember the island?

[strange robin]

Crotchet brought to life type craft

[fossil juniper]

can you craft your own craft craft with craft craft craft that creates craft

[strange robin]

||Mine craft ||

[analog nest]

gasp

[fossil juniper]

by god…

[narrow lynx]

ok we might be getting off topic again

[fossil juniper]

whoops.

[fossil juniper]

perhaps

[analog nest]

colours…..

[strange robin]

Shades~

[old prairie]

There is probably a fic about this idea

[sweet bane]

Hypothetically, at this point we could have a full paper party. We shouldn't, but we could

[fossil juniper]

a kid running around town with scissors and they all run for their lives

[strange robin]

I didn't think paper was gonna be that famous, that's surprising

[analog nest]

i wouldn’t have picked it if i knew how popular it’d be lmao

[fossil juniper]

i mean odile is mad cool what are we gonna do

[analog nest]

you right

[strange robin]

I was torn between paper and scissors

[analog nest]

same, i folded an went for paper though

[sweet bane]

Siffrin would be proud

[fossil juniper]

meh all the types have their problems, but rock types tend to have the most faults

[strange robin]

As harden cores tend to be

[analog nest]

they can be a little hard headed

[strange robin]

Quite bold and even roughed

[fossil juniper]

yknow what they say, it's a hard rock life for us

[narrow lynx]

it looks like unfortunately most scissor types didnt make the cut

[analog nest]

i mean, most rock craft users always seem stoned, so, must be some fun /silly

[fossil juniper]

we certainly don't take that for granite

[sweet bane]

How long do you think Odile would listen to this comedy routine before threatening to murder sif and/or isa

[fossil juniper]

3 jokes in and all of a sudden the bomb parts are mysteriously gone from isa's pack

[analog nest]

lmao

[sweet bane]

I'm tempted to make a third, far more stupid poll

[fossil juniper]

well now you have to

[fossil juniper]

wouldn't make them but would laugh hysterically

[sweet bane]

Then vote for the first option lol

[fossil juniper]

i did!

[sweet bane]

This is another very important thing Shady is gonna have to balance for the party- Who cares about making sure we have a good spread of combat roles and craft types, the important bit is getting the right balance of pun lovers Vs. pun haters.

[fossil juniper]

the psychic damage infliced might be too much if the jokes are too plentiful

[sweet bane]

Exactly

[analog nest]

but then it would be really dull if it was all pun haters

[fossil juniper]

true..

[sweet bane]

So ya gotta have a balance!

[analog nest]

yep

[sweet bane]

So far, the poll says we're biased towards pun lovers, my OC is the only pun hater

[strange robin]

My OC is pun adverse/neutral. Perhaps would take them just literally

[fossil juniper]

ah yes, the secret third option

[sweet bane]

Fascinating

[tired palm]

Paper craft 📰

[strange robin]

The possibility for paper cuts in this campaign is very high. Proceed at your own risk

[analog nest]

still can’t believe scissor craft was picked so little

[tired palm]

✂️ feels a bit less defined as a craft

Unless speed and piercing is how it is

[analog nest]

basically according to the doc

[tired palm]

People probably havent thought about too much either
I want the skills of my character to use piercing in creative ways

I might lean more into that if I can

[strong seal]

i thought i was special

[cinder hound]

you are

just not the specialist

[hardy pebble]

I didn't check this group-chat for like 1 day, and there's a hundred billion million messages suddenly

[strange robin]

We talked craft types and ISAT setting from our characters

[hardy pebble]

Ohhhh

[analog nest]

yep

[hardy pebble]

Mine is
Half-baked

[strange robin]

That works too, makes the oc more amiable for the campaign

[hardy pebble]

I just see 100+ messages and my first thought is
'Oh, no did the party get picked and I MISSED IT??'

[analog nest]

nope

not yet

[narrow lynx]

latest is sunday the 15th iirc

[strange robin]

Yes, that's what Shady said

[strange robin]

The Watch Party, AKA The Silly Paper Vauguard Party

[analog nest]

it’s just paper mario/j

[fossil juniper]

if count bleck shows up in the silly paper vanguard party campaign I will lose my shit

[analog nest]

lmao

[fossil juniper]

or even like the household objects from origami king

“new boss, it’s a big ass stapler, you’re all doomed”

[analog nest]

oh god…

[fossil juniper]

wait wasn’t one of those bosses just a pair of scissors

[analog nest]

yep

it sure was

[fossil juniper]

dear god….

1/3 of vauguarde is doomed and 2/3 are actually pretty cool with that guy

[analog nest]

1/3 can kick its ass if they really wanted to

[fossil juniper]

but it’s getting rid of their natural predators

[analog nest]

exactly

[fossil juniper]

wait do animals have craft types

would a paper type worm just mess up a rock type bird

[analog nest]

pfft

[hardy pebble]

That's really funny

[analog nest]

i think they need hands to use craft

[hardy pebble]

Hmm

[fossil juniper]

nuh uh

[hardy pebble]

Damn

[analog nest]

doesn’t that thing just explode?

[fossil juniper]

but it is rock type

[analog nest]

mhm

[fossil juniper]

and does rock type damage

[analog nest]

alright then

[fossil juniper]

fuck man my cat is scissors type and my couch is split in half now

[analog nest]

rip

[stray swift]

Just a reminder to stay on topic please

[analog nest]

at least this time it was still isat related /silly

[strange robin]

Animals with Craft Types on the campaign would be so cool! You could have a higher chance of befriending them if you share their craft type. And they just naturally hate your guts if they are the craft opposite to yours

Primates have more flexibility with crafts, taking advantage of hands, marsupials as well

Cool concept

[cinder hound]

“Craft” Macaroni and Cheese

[cinder hound]

Today's the day!

Congrats on those who make it in! Woohoo!

[cinder hound]

-# maybe

[tired palm]

Hopefully, but no rush to Shady

[fossil juniper]

Good luck everyone! (If it is today)

[tired palm]

Now that I think about it, one of the people who chose scissors is more likely to be picked so that the party is balanced
It was only 3 votes, while counting double craft (if a 20 were rolled)

[fossil juniper]

well there were 22 applicants there are still like what, 7 people who didn’t vote?

for all we know all of those people were scissors craft

[tired palm]

Statistics disagree (most of the time)

[fossil juniper]

But I agree

[tired palm]

I'm gonna say the party will be scissors paper rock rock

[fossil juniper]

really?

I’m betting scissors rock paper paper

[tired palm]

I prefer the fun of not choosing the most probably option

[fossil juniper]

real asf

[tired palm]

We could both be right if there is a double craft

[fossil juniper]

“oooh sorry, it’s all actually scissors types”

we could

[scarlet jay]

all rock party time

[tired palm]

jackpot spamming 🔥

[fossil juniper]

guys why don’t crafters just go in party’s of 4 of the same craft type are they stupid

[fossil juniper]

libraries terrify them

[tired palm]

What's the scariest thing a scissors type can find?
Any geological feature

[scarlet jay]

Barbers;
The bane of all creative crafters

[fossil juniper]

no wonder they’re stereotyped as crass and conniving they’re just hiding from their natural predators

[fossil juniper]

do you think they get their hair folded and not cut

[scarlet jay]

fire

[tired palm]

I wonder if there will be people chosen as substitutes for the party
(not that any would be needed most probably)

[fossil juniper]

Like in the case of sudden schedule conflicts I bet shady will have an idea of who’s next in line

[tired palm]

Yeah

I just hope If I get chosen I will still be able to perform well in class the day after
(I'm still gonna play no matter what)

[fossil juniper]

don’t mind my 8 AM on Monday.

like Im willing to literally pick up another shift at my job another day if it means I could fully free up sundays for the earlier time

[tired palm]

I wonder if there's a reason the game is on Sunday instead of Saturday

[fossil juniper]

WE will be there no matter what

[tired palm]

That's dedication 🙏

[fossil juniper]

who knows

[fossil juniper]

I need to write another campaign or play dnd soon lest the itch consume me

[scarlet jay]

I feel that. Im trying to set up a campaign for my freinds rn but its been years so i'm trying to find my footing as a dm again

[fossil juniper]

yeah it’s always so hard because you always just need to accept no matter how much writing you do, you WILL have to improv the day of because one of your friends has decided to rob an old man you described on a whim.

[tired palm]

The dm curse of a party doing the one thing you didn't think of is so real

[fossil juniper]

it’s always a battle of “I could spend 6 hours writing this and have it never ever be used or I could try and create contingencies for my barbarians of players” and I personally have never won

[tired palm]

The way we are all just waiting for that message to be sent

[stray swift]

I am tired as it’s late for me but will note that craft type won’t play a factor in choice. In the not impossible scenario everyone is paper type, during a session 0 we’d discuss anyone who’d want to change, and we could theme it for the character.

[fossil juniper]

oh that’s based actually

[stray swift]

Also a full paper team would be hell.

[tired palm]

Interesting choice, I respect that

[stray swift]

Imagine being Pokémon gym leader and your opponent is only the team super effective against you. But also spamming jackpot is incredibly effective at healing, so you mash not very effective attacks to stay alive.

[fossil juniper]

I forgot about the healing aspect of jackpots my god that would just be halarious

“we’ve finally saved up enough energy… JACKPOT!!!”

“ITS TURN 2???”

[scarlet jay]

"You can't kill us if we hit you fast enough!"

[fossil juniper]

we call that “battle of attrition” and it would be fun for everyone involved /silly

[tired palm]

Literally why speed is so op in ISAT

[fossil juniper]

death by 1000 paper cuts (and the occasional book thrown at you)

[fossil juniper]

why suffering double point counting attacks are so busted

[sweet bane]

Because speed is Siffrin's stat and Siffrin is OP

[analog nest]

start spamming jackpots like yuji itadori spams black flash

[fossil juniper]

double paper + paper mache gloves + artsy whatever burst + paper alpha = instant death”

[tired palm]

Indeed

[analog nest]

mhm

[fossil juniper]

no one’s ever hit 4 consecutive jackpots in a row…

[stray swift]

Metapod, use harden.

You are bit too late to sign up sadly

[wild elbow]

💔

[stray swift]

Alright I can no longer procrastinate. Time to dive head first into all the responses and organize them.

[analog nest]

you got this

[narrow lynx]

wait have you not even started?

[fossil juniper]

don't get lost

[stray swift]

i've looked through all of them, but not truly organized and overview all the details of each submission. To be real though my life is really cluttered and busy, but I really want to commit to this project to publish my work publicly.

[strong seal]

believe in you!!! take your time :] we’ll be here when you’re ready

chop chop.... time's ticking.... /silly

[stray swift]

[narrow lynx]

no pressure but also YOU NEED TO FINISH TODAY HURRY UP HURRY UP HURRY UP /silly

[fossil juniper]

if you aren't done by today do we have permission to hunt you down and steal all the campaign notes

[torpid condor]

dont stress too much about organising, the less effort you put into sorting by quality the more likely i get in /j

[tired palm]

Good luck everyone

[hardy pebble]

Real

[stray swift]

this is an elaborate form of self-torture, but i should be finished soon.

[strong seal]

and that's why shady's the goat

[sweet bane]

Is the torture sorting, or cutting?

[cinder hound]

Is it protective, piercing or creative?

[cinder hound]

the joke didn’t land.

[stray swift]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAYERS FOR THE ISAT TTRPG HAVE BEEN SELECTED
@hardy pebble @strong seal @cinder hound and @tranquil tide

They will join the 2 Primary Invited players in being a 6 player game for the In Stars and Time TTRPG: In Stars and Time - A New Journey. Once we begin, sessions will be recorded and posted to Youtube.

Thank you all again for your submissions. Sorting and reading through each reply has been several difficult hours of decision making, many which come had to come purely from personal taste. I want emphasize do not feel like you did something wrong if you were not selected. Only picking 4 players from all the submissions was so hard and I wish so badly I could run another group. I am so excited to run this game again and hope to see you all following along watching this story unfold of these characters and my ISAT TTRPG.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[strong seal]

tbh I need to play the game more

[stray swift]

The Archeologist was so good

[tranquil tide]

Thank you so much for accepting me!

[hardy pebble]

I'm in a good mood suddenly ("

[sweet bane]

Congrats you guys!

[hardy pebble]

[scarlet jay]

Aw thanks!

[sweet bane]

Little bit salty I didn't get picked but I'll just use it to add flavor to my fries

[hardy pebble]

Again, I do NOT envy Shady for having to choose just a few people out of 22

[strong seal]

[hardy pebble]

God's strongest soldier fighting hid hardest battles

[stray swift]

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you had such a cool power set idea i loved it

[stray swift]

that was not easy. I actually sat on the complete message for an hour triple checking everything.

im gonna melt from the willpower ive spent

[cinder hound]

I’m going to melt

[hardy pebble]

I feel so lucky and kinda not worthy of being picked tbh

[tranquil tide]

That's sounds so incredibly anxiety inducing, congrats on managing to get through that

[hardy pebble]

I kinda think my character was half-finished

[sweet bane]

Yeah I would've ended up procrastinating on the decision for a week lmao

Were I in shady's metaphorical shoes

[stray swift]

no imposter syndrome for you it was a great submission and i chose it.

[hardy pebble]

Hah

[stray swift]

its like how i banned TrickWater for apologizing for being interested in it for so long

...he proceeded to explode

[hardy pebble]

Whaaaat?

[stray swift]

I’ll ask if I can ping the other two if they are ok with me announcing them but they’re both offline cuz it’s late.

TrickedWater is one of them lol

[cinder hound]

I do hope the days like up with my timezone, it is giving me a bit of anxiety now that i’ve been accepted..
i checked before but i could be wrong..

[tranquil tide]

What time is it for you right now?

[stray swift]

I am pacific standard time. Games are set for 8:30 PM Eastern standard time, so I RUN home from a different thing I was doing to dive into my chair to run this

[hardy pebble]

Yeah, I forget everybody's times

[strong seal]

LOL REAL AND TRUE

[tranquil tide]

I'm AEST (currently 4pm), the session time will be around 11 am for me

[strong seal]

i am mountain standard time! i think that means session for me starts at 9:30? i'm cool with that since i am a night owl and work for me always ends before then :3

[cinder hound]

oh! that works wonderfully, actually.

i’m also MST!

[stray swift]

Mountain standard time would be 6:30 I believe

One hour after PST. Which would start at 5:30

[hardy pebble]

...I'm dumb, what time is california?

[strong seal]

YAYAYAY!!!!!

[stray swift]

Today is Friday in California /ref

[strong seal]

i have never been good with timezones lawl

[stray swift]

PST is California

I would know

[hardy pebble]

Ok.

Got it.

[stray swift]

I live there

[hardy pebble]

I also live here.

[strong seal]

i'm a new mexico resident for tha record

[cinder hound]

It’s sunday for the next 51 minutes

[strong seal]

nodding listening learning

[hardy pebble]

Hour and 51 minutes in Cali

[sweet bane]

Not to be self centered or anything, but what did you think of my submission, Shady?

[hardy pebble]

Untill it rolls over to Monday

[stray swift]

It is Sunday lol. I am making a reference that I keep seeing around ISAT servers

[strong seal]

OH

LOL

[cinder hound]

I think it’s a reference to that one japanese show that Power Rangers is based on?

[strong seal]

Super Sentai?

[cinder hound]

I believe so yes

[torpid condor]

congrats to the selected, hope yous enjoy.

shady, if i were to run something based on this campaign would you rather i do it once the yt videos are out or wait until a dm’s guide is available (or just rather i not do it in the first place)?

[narrow lynx]

i have awoken
congrats to everyone who got chosen

[terse gazelle]

Congrats to the winners!

[old prairie]

Congrats!

[stray swift]

That is correct. I’ll also post them here and in fan-works

[stray swift]

Checking in here as it’s been awhile. Session 0/Character creation has completed amongst the party! We’ll be running Session 1 soon, and I’ll be excited to share the story with you all.
