says, “WHERE’S THE SAUERKRAUT TEAKWOOD”
i should go and do that before it gets much later. i could also do it tomorrow though… ugh actually I should have bought more ginger, RIP
says, “THE TEST ROOM THAT LARGELY EXISTED TO MAKE SURE CHANNEL SWITCHING WORKED IS GOOONE ”
says, “i wanted to check something what was it OH YEAH ”
says, “/me does this automagically shift me into action mode?”
says, “nope ok”
says, “definitely gunna fuck that one up a lot before the muscle memory untrains a bit lol”
says, “oh shit that’s actually a really good idea, lol. ”
writes that down in the list of Immediate Feedback Action Items™ they have going
says, “I’m honestly surprised I didn’t think about that until this morning somehow lol”
says, “prob b/c the initial version was so different”
says, “so out of curiosity, for like, the Actual Game Logs,”
says, “were you planning on just making new room/session/scene/pages for each one individually and just spin ‘em up right before the sessions, or is it just gunna be on big ‘ol one”
says, “the latter, and i’ll leave a scene open for insert scenes between sessions, or two if necessary”
says, “also did you ever get the rest of the card frames ”
says, “not yet, my artist has been Having A Rough Time so there’s still red and black missing for the time being”
says, “aha”
says, “oh wait it was the same person doing the frames that did the drawings???”
yes
tests something out…
says, “neat”
wonders if that’s what the refresh was about
says, “Hey Ice you can now do /me from a speech-mode post and it’ll do an action”
says, “yeeeah”
thumbs up!
says, “ALSO,”
says, “if you type stuff into the text buffer and then leave the page for any reason, as long as you don’t clear browsing data - including like “a computer crash” or “closed the browser tab” as well as “navigated to a different page or scene” - it’ll keep the contents of the text buffer”
says, “OR DOES IT”
It Does
says, “‘this definitely won’t be done before the campaign starts’, they said. ‘it’ll take way too long to build and test’, they said”
says, “thats the power of not playing war frame for 16 hours a day”
says, “listen after the fucken week I had at work, I will be forgiven for being baffled and confused at the revelation that I am, actually, fucking competent”
says, “hahah”

says, “this entire fucking website works!!!!”
says, “thats the power of the special interest ”
says, “woah i was not expecting that formatting adventure to occur. hello.”
says, “:O”
says, “how subtext”
says, “i wonder what other absurd things will just Happen if i put in the correct sequence of characters”
says, “ assuming these ”
says, “yeah bbby”
says, “god ‘how do you do subtext’ is just a joke that writes itself around these parts”
says, “there were too many directions to take it so i just stopped there its true”
nods solemnly.
says, “if i knew how to do Upper Text it def would have better written as a gay joke tho b/c no cowards here ”
says, “lol comma lmao i fully just reflexively did /me and it worked. if i hadn’t already added that feature i would have been shamed into dropping everything and adding it immediately ”
says, “wait why is there a space at the end of that, does this not eat excessive spaces questionmark ”
says, “ok lets you have ONE but not more”
says, “it SHOULD be eating Excessive Whitespace but it turns out eating excessive whitespace is extremely hard lol”
says, “yeah it gets everything after the first and just one is like, eyebrow raise But Fine”
says, “also as a non-programmer keep the text in the entry field when when leaving the channel feels like the Real Deep Magic Shit to me lol”
says, “actually hm does it correctly handle ⁂ and 🙧 in the MIDDLE of a post, not that I expect it to ever matter, or do they have to be at the end”
says, “considering how many online forms cannot do that”
bows. magic sparkles.
says, “the FUCK was that second one”
says, “i know the first one means we about to get hit with an aoe tho :E ”
says, “⁂ is a [ . . . ] with the spaces removed, and 🙧 is a [ X ] with the spaces removed, Just Like They Used To Do It On IRC to signify More To Post and Post Complete”
says, “” 🙧
says, “IT FELL OUT”
says, “lmao”
says, “also, wild, huh”
says, “oh man actually I Bet Carrots Do Something ”
says, “YEAH”
says, “IM SO GOOD ”
says, “wtf did you do? this? ?”
says, “haha, nice”
says, “that was exciting my computer decided i was holding down e forever and made me go unplug the keyboard to fix it ”
says, “ now i can make it seem like i am shouting in increasingly distressed pitch OH BOY ”
says, “other than the middle being bigger obv”
says, “i wonder if there’s an easy way to do ruby text in english,”
says, “actually don’t look into that you’ll only use the power for evil forget i had this thought”
says, “pffffhahahhaha. sadly i am confident markdown does not do that”
says, “HE’S LOOKED INTO IT BEFORE taru honk”
says, “did you EXPECT a different answer than that”
says, “no lmao”
says, “i would not have been WHOLELY surprised if you could make 🙧 turn into a symbol that [Word|Broader Concept] would do something tho”
says, “doing so would be within my power, yes. =)”
says, “actually lets be real i’d use that for evil as much if not more so than you tbh tbh”

holds up a finger, and says “I start in [Action mode], and just start typing, and the quotes automatically handle un-italicing things!”

says, “Ahh, that tells me what I didn’t know. Thank you.”
.
I'm still learning how to make the text do things but hi I'm here now!
says, “Hey there”
Sins, you should grab a profile pic in Settings
says, “Salve, belatedly”
.
Where in settings? I can't find it
says, “Wolf-Priest, that’s the Hunter’s avatar and esp. in light of the Hunter being a character in the game, use… I’m not sure, either the Monster’s for the time being until we get your art done, or the orange question mark, or no avatar at all is Also Fine tbh. Archivist, click on the ? in a circle next to the chat boxen here, it’s not actually in Settings”
says, “I fixed it”
says, “just click on the space to the left of the text input above your user name”
says, “Woot, that works, thank”
Got it fixed!
says, “Yeah, I realized as soon as Hunter spoke that I had gotten the images mixed up.”
ꙮ Also if you see me use this symbol, it means there’s more text coming from me: ⁂
ꙮ If you see me use this one, it means I’m done: 🙧

says, “…and so. ” 🙧
says, “Say it with a DON! ” 🙧
says, “Except, y’know, without the spaces. Also I think that’s… everybody? Alright! Making the first actual IC scene and will post there. =D ”
says, “Tempted to “first””
ꙮ do not
says, “”A” Sanctuary, not “The”, huh ”
says, “…are you gonna let God tell you what to do, huh?”
says, “.”
I didn't!
.
Is anyone else ineligible to post to that scene? Just making sure it's not something weird on my end specifically
says, “Not I.”
.
I also cannot post
Wait what the fuck? Try refreshing the page
Yup, nope, “you are not eligible to post to this scene”
slow exhale
says, “OH”
says, “And thus clarity did dawn upon God’s eyes.”
says, “And it was good”
says, “Oh that’s neat”
says, “Also, we confused God! First victory!”
says, “Well, that was mortifying. Is it working for the two of you now?”
Yup!
says, “si”
says, “Terrific. Let’s try that again, except this time, without the oops. Can you see the stuff I already posted in the scene?”
says, “yes”
Yes!
says, “Yes!”
...I didn't have the issue in the first place, though...
- You hear — and your Star hears — a song, echoing from the stillness: Sanctuary
says, “Goddamn, well done”
Right in the JRPG feels
says, “We’re going to have to fix the audio issues before next session–I’m playing the copy you sent me for the vibes, but I heard nothing despite squidging with the volume slider.”
says, “sound coming in loud and clear here”
.
I'm gonna try my first ability roll of the game very early probably. Also is there a space for OOC conversation? Is that here?
says, “had to toggle the volume slider but it worked for me”
says, “same as sword saint”
ꙮ Butts. Okay. I’ll work with you on that. OOC conversation goes here, yeah, and you don’t have to post in OOC comments here unless it’s funny to
Ok cool. I had no problem with the music on my end personally
says, “oh huh the blue song notification went through both rooms”
says, “Certain notifications will go to all available non-private scenes, yeah.”
says, “b u t i t w a s s t i l l l o c k e d play it again for funsies”
says, “neat!”
how bright is the area
says, “I feel like I have to click between Elsewhere and A Sanctuary for text to update, or maybe I’m just impatient”
ꙮ That should… not be the case; if it keeps up we can debug post-session.
says, “I’m not having that problem but it might be helpful to have an “x is typing” dialogue for the IC scenes?”
Yeah, I’m having some text load issues as well
ꙮ ”vaguely fox-flavored” just took me out at the knees
says, “hahah”
‘s testing something
ok I was wondering if it’d do something weird if I lead an action with ‘
says, “you gotta flavor your metahuman or it’s just Human!!!”
says, “it’s probably gunna take me a hot minute to get used to not manually doing qoutes lol”
says, “did we hear the opening as dialogue/words?”
says, “!!!”
says, “EXPLODES”
says, “off to a rousing start”
says, “Ok I need a little help from this point because I don’t fully remember how the system works for me to rank this die up ”
says, “Do I ascend the die now or is it after the roll finishes resolving?”
Sins, roll again, add it to your 4. If you get back to back max rolls, you ascend die
….like that.
Well, uh
says, “Good Job”
ꙮ Oh my G-d
says, “you sure know your Weird Magic Stones”
ꙮ Are you serious lol
HUH
says, “GUH, wow.”
says, “whispers what the fuck”
EARTH SCIENCE MAJOR OVER HERE
So that’s an 18 for my first roll of the game…
ꙮ I need to take a moment to stop laughing incredulously lmao
says, “18 is my favorite d4+0 result”
says, “if you make a system that allows for players to roll maximum amounts on their die…”
ꙮ Sword-Saint: No, you do not recall hearing the opening narration, although you have a faint… SENSE of what it was saying. A longing
says, “[Omega]”
wait just to make sure - we don’t know who we are yet, right?
I’m playing The Archivist in this moment as someone experiencing near-total amnesia, but with occasional brief flashes of insight
says, “You have dreamlike fragments of memory of the life before that you can play as total amnesia or otherwise; IIRC we spoke about this and I said that was within parameters. You might remember your name; you have a sense of your title / epithet being Correct in some way.”
says, “I assume anything in the Blub About Yourself On The Constellation List is fair game and then random bits and pieces of Common World Sense as needed, but nothing too deep/specific otherwise, ye?”
says, “Hunter: yeah, roughly”
says, “(also I’ve got a Next Beat but I want to let this moment breathe slightly, and am shaking the pacing rust off.)”
says, “HMM ok i guess i can’t close the qoutation mark early”
says, “hm I THOUGHT you could do exactly what you did and it’d Just Work. Hm. you can add asterisks around actions after the quotation marks and it’ll format mostly-correctly and I’ll take another crack at it in the intervening week”
says, “oh is that how that works? will have to remember that”
says, “or not”
says, “speech speech.” And then an action here, and there’ll probably be a hanging quotation mark at the end of this?”
says, “Yeah that’s the best we’ve got for the time being and further updates will happen after there’s play feedback, haha”
says, “But like, do an end-quote but not a beginning quote, and then a bunch of text in asterisks, and it’ll be MOSTLY right. Or just use Action Mode if you know you want to combine speech and action.”
nod
says, “inshallah for edit mode, I keep making typos my god.”
says, “yeah it’ll just take a little bit of adjustment. It never occurred to me HOW OFTEN i start with dialogue that then immediate segues into a description of something when RPing until doing so became slightly awkward, lawl”
says, “hahah”
says, “dont worry the other six of you combined will probably never match my typo ratio (being in a browser does let me catch some of ‘em from the red squiggly tho)”
says, “Yeah, I’m definitely adjusting my writing style to fit the chat mechanics a little, but that’s not a bad thing.”
says, “edit mode is a cool idea, though; implementing it will be seven butts in a trenchcoat but I’ll give it a go if I have the time lol”
says, “Yeah editing is always a pain in the ass wrt CRUD functions”
says, “hachi ”
says, “hachi where were you for debug testing”
idk what I did this time hahahaha
hang on let me try
smiles. “LIGHT IT UP LET’S GO”
hmmm nope
ꙮ lmaooo it’s cool I’ll be able to see the post in the database if I need to to figure out what the ass the raw text saved was
**
- Test
says, “it’s funny because how I usually RP starts with a bunch of actions and then I punctuate it with speech, so I’ll likely find out sooner or later”
I want fresh warm bread now :(
I keep almost deciding that The Archivist has never heard of alcohol before and doesn’t really know what the wine is or what a keg is but he’s an academic and there’s simply no way that’s true in this or any world
says, “and how”
looool
says, “hm no notification that something was playing that time”
says, “oh huh did that load that for everyone and not just me?”
Yup
says, “yes”
says, “interesting ”
I continue to have audio issues and did not hear it.
ꙮ utterly baffling that dogsong worked but this isn’t
says, “The volume meter periodically resets; anything that plays before I’ve fiddled with it never plays at all for me.”
says, “i cant believe you removed dogsong from the list and wont let me queue it up……… ”
says, “I dind’t get it, but I saw that it was playing?”
says, “I received no notification, but saw that it was playing and got sound when I adjusted by volume”
says, “Okay, so if I queue it up, it plays for me. Try volume bars?”
says, “it just played for me now though without volume adjustment?”
says, “MAGIC ROBOT”
says, “Got it that time, but that’s because I’d fiddled with the volume before you queued it.”
says, “i guess laughing inappropriately comes with the territory of having Empty/Void skills, huh hachi :E”
says, “who said it was inappropriate!!”
says, “all the very sad and upset people in the room ”
says, “No, you can’t see the Discord, Teak made this entire website to play on :P”
laughs
says, “this is beyond homestuck levels of mixed media, soon there will be a discord plugin just for this site”
there WAS a discord bot and then i decided to be completely unhinged instead
says, “butts what did i even DO to cause that lmao”
says, “/tests”
/tests
also testing someting “are you ok? bustah wolf”
says, “bah I will get this formatting right one way or another”
says, “cant believe you’re playing a sproutling hachi”
says, “close!”
ꙮ brb, cycling fluids
ꙮ back
* test
hmmm. the bullet point is happening because the message is somehow being wrapped in an HTML li and it’s from a ::marker pseudoselector (that I have never encountered before) I believe? But no idea how you’re getting a li element.
I think Markdown is seeing a single asterisk and going oh oh I know what that is, it’s a bulleted list, but it… shouldn’t be, lol
I just tried that but it didn’t work. unless it’s the space?
*test
says, “…why am I getting strong “Ultima Thule” vibes…?”
says, “checks out, pretty similar thematically ”
says, “Also something of a rhetorical question–I know that zone left deep marks on Teak, just like it did with me. _ ;”
….well, that’s not supposed to do that…
says, “I’m guessing we’re not talking about the literary place or the Kupier belt object?”
says, “Aahh, nooo, not quite. Though not NOT quite…”
says, “There’s an observer role I can take for the rite, correct? I’d like to try combat but I think it’d be more in character to observe/advise? ”
says, “We using all 3 lanes?”
yeah oops I just rushed through
says, “That was my assumption. 2/2/2.”
says, “Yeah, you can choose to be a Tactician instead of Warrior. Which still gives you a couple things you can do, but is pretty far removed from a full deck”
ꙮ I think it makes sense to talk about lanes in the OOC chat. I think given the functionally tutorial nature of the fight I would like everyone to participate, if that is okay? Like this is the one time I will put my finger on the scales in terms of who fights and who’s an observer.
says, “sure! no problem at all”
says, “Also, you can set an icon for your deck in the decks screen (the circle on the left side), and then killing your presence and resummoning will give you the right icon”
ꙮ (The Architect is functionally in the Tactician role here)
ꙮ Whose deck is Test 1? [counts people] Archivist? Pop your character art on that sucker in the Deck UX if you could just to make it easier for me to keep track of who’s who?
Yup, I realized the mistake. Fixed it! Refresh if it’s not showing for you yet
says, “For readability clarity, it’s PROBABLY best of players are on one half of the screen and enemies on the other…? my JRPG Brain says PCs bottom, enemies top but idk if you’ve got a preference there teak”
ꙮ OKAY: There are three lanes, and there’ll be two opponents in each lane, a Void Emanation and a Void Sussurus in each lane. Players should, roughly, line up on the bottom of the screen. Who wants to be in a lane with whom?
says, “I have no preferences, though it feels Correct for Wolf to be in middle lane”
ꙮ (Also and this does not need to happen right now but you can rename a deck by clicking on the deck’s name)
says, “absolutely no preference, but please have patience with person who has no idea what they’re doing”
says, “From a character perspective, no preference. From a player perspective - I am a big shieldy guy, who wants to be my friend? Middle feels right, but happy with any”
I’m happiest with someone who can help defend me, so my current arrangement in the left lane with the Clockwork Knight works for me!
says, “[Archivist/Clockwork] [Wolf/Awoken] [Hunter/Saint] looks pretty good to me”
says, “Doesn’t seem glaringly wrong for a test run at least, and we can think a bit more about optimal formations after getting a better feel for stuff/decks”
says, “Yeah, I’m good with this. What determines what order we go in?”
says, “let’s beat the crap out of the void, then”
says, “We can pretty much just pick whoever. At the moment thematically Wolf or Hunter probably seem like they’d take initiative? I got a good idea of what I’ll be doing if you don’t tho / don’t wanna go first”
says, “I have a lil opening combo, I think, yeah”
says, “or if you do, feel free to.”
says, “Hey, God; do you want us to narrate/spell out our actions anywhere?”
Also do Graces work automatically or do we have to manually do them? I’m not sure if I’m supposed to draw one extra beyond what I already have or not
says, “Manual”
ꙮ Sorry I got REALLY inopportune cat aggro lol
says, “your own IRL rite”
says, “Zoe craves violence.”
ꙮ Basically everything is manual, yeah - this is a gametable more than anything else.
says, “OKay, so Saint gets to force an opponent to discard a rite to start”
says, “off the cuff, I’d imagine describing whatever you’re doing to the degree you wanna can probably be done with normal narrative text, and then use the OOC comment alongside it to be like “yeah playing X Rite against Y target for 2 damage””
says, “Cool! If nobody minds, I’ll kick us off, then–after Saint’s Snipe resolves?”
Go for it!
says, “yes. how do I use the UI to discard someone else’s card? ”
says, “Also, does the Sniper choose which card is discarded, or the–yeah, that, too”
says, “I think youj’ll have to tell teak to discard it”
says, “NM, just read the text, it’s the Sniper’s choice”
says, “You can only discard cards from decks you “own””
ꙮ So if you click on the things in the lane you’re in across from you, you can see the cards in their hand; pick a card that Looks Gnarly and tell me to discard it.
says, “Okay well I feel like the void emanant doesn’t need that superannihilate ”
says, “Oh gods, get rid of that Real Ultimat–that too.”
ꙮ An excellent choice.
says, “That right lane has a lot of good cards. Have fun over there!”
says, “yeah it was between those two. we’ll see if I made the right choice.”
says, “Watch out for Real Ultimate Power, you two–that Sussurus can do 6 damage in a burst”
says, “Alright–Saint, you gonna describe that Snipe, or am I good to go?”
says, “thats a really funny rite to pull out in the tutorial. Love the Void”
ꙮ I think Snipes being OOC is fine. One sec
says, “I wasn’t going to describe it if that’s okay. lazy and uncreative. you’re g2g”
says, “NBD, just didn’t wanna step on toes.”
- You hear — and your Star hears — a song, echoing from the stillness: The Rite
says, “nice!”
says, “oh i got the Not Playing Until Jiggling The Volume Slider bug that time ”
says, “same, but I was ready for it”
ꙮ eat my assssss javascript
says, “damn this is way more distorted guitar than expected based on the other snippits of stuff i recall lol”
says, “oh interesting. If you open a new tab of Sanc while playing, it resets the volume bar glitch”
says, “love the Black Mages Do E33 feel of it tho lol”
says, “Yep”
Can I go next?
Also is there a coin-flip interface in the site? I have an IRL coin I can flip if not
says, “fine by me”
ꙮ Uhhhhhh lmao there ISN’T. I will flip a coin for the time being when a coin needs flipped, I will add a d2
says, “do we all start with 0 defense unless otherwise stated? I’m looking in the codex but I don’t see it.”
says, “”…why is someone cursing me?!” -laughs-”
If you wanna flip the coins for me for now, could you please flip one and tell me?
says, “scary!!”
says, “Saint - Yes”
says, “awooo coordinates why do you not make sense it makes tokens hard”
says, “and yeah generally you start with 0 defense”
says, “Ohhh I misunderstood combat–I thought WE all went and then THEY went, instead it’s trading off, I see”
says, “Saint - if you click on your “hand” you can see your benefits - you should start with +1 defense each of 1st 2 rounds”
says, “If you have enough White energy you might get a few tho”
says, “Yeah, I get one defense the first round because I have a little White mana; you have…much more”
says, “You also have +2 Tolerance, which I think we can edit later.”
says, “You should also draw a card now,”
ꙮ Saint - you get +1 Defense at the start of the round for the first two rounds, yeah
ꙮ Archivist - Heads
says, “is that automatic or do I need to add the toggles/is there a place to see the information?”
says, “Hey, God, did you put those curse and whatever things in my draw pile, or do I need to do that?”
says, “Information - in HAND on your radial menu”
says, “click your deck token for radial”
says, “You’ll need to add your own defense (Shield icon in radial)”
how do you draw lines between the cards you’re playing and the things you’re targeting with them, again?
says, “You can draw a card from the HAND interdace”
says, “click on battlefield, select TARGET”
ꙮ Sorry, got overwhelmed briefly by text and am trying to sort out questions i need to answer. (Forgive the tutorial fight.)
says, “yeah I meant total defense/tolerance. so I add those manually. got it. does “+1 initial Draw & on first 1 Refresh. Draw&Discard 1 at start.” mean I just draw and discard one card eat at the very start? ”
says, “yeah”
says, “or, sort of”
ꙮ Wolf-Priest: Yeah, you’ll have to add those to your draw pile manually. If you open your hand, it should default to adding statuses to your draw pile; click on the Curse and Poison buttons once each and that should do it.
says, “+1 initial draw means at the very start, during the set up phase you’d draw one extra card. Then draw&discard 1 is a different thing you do at the start of each turn you take”
says, “OH okay cool. so I should have 5 cards in my hand right now, then I have … +2 tolerance and +1 defense at the very beginning, if I’m reading my hand right?”
ꙮ I believe that’s correct, yes
says, “Yeah. The extra Tolerance is something you set from the deck menu - it’s near the top, above the card selection. The +1 def is something you’d do manually at the start though yeah”
says, “oh man i did give sucker punch Reach, that was a very funny to have done.”
You sure did XD
ꙮ Archivist, how are you playing two cards? I am probably missing something obvious
says, “the heart icon is tolerance in the deck menu?”
Sucker Punch has Quick
says, “Teak, sorry to be a pain. Center Void E should have stressed 1 for targeting WolfPriest.”
ꙮ Ah that’d do it lol. The card vanished off the screen / was tiny so I couldn’t see it lol
says, “Yup! ”
says, “Ah, yes, correct. Thanks, Clockwork”
ꙮ Correct!
says, “(The shield option in the deck, if you were curious, is for Scale decks or any goofy monsters teak might make and determines what the make defense you can have is)”
says, “Archivist, I’d recommend double clicking your token to indicate that you’ve completed your turn”
says, “Someone in Right Lane should go next, yes?”
says, “yeah seems fair”
says, “Once the left lane punches back, aye”
ꙮ Sorry, Archivist, what was the other card you played again?
says, “Yeah. Just trying to pre-queue things.”
Stun
ꙮ Appalling.
says, “Did you have anything you wanted to play first, Saint, or do you want me to have the next turn?”
says, “Hunter, I was going to buff defense for both of us if that’s okay? I think that’s probably more useful done earlier?”
says, “Oh, God–my first three Strikes cause +1 stress, so he actually took 6, not 4…”
says, “Sins - do you want immediate defense, Stun, or me to do some damage & setup?”
says, “Yeah sure, go for it.”
says, “Teak, see above for a thing I missed”
says, “(i’m probably going to put an enchantment on myself so I’m not in any rush)”
says, “Okay I’ll go next after the Retaliation”
I trust your instinct! Stun gets a lot of value for us right now potentially since the enemies in our lane don’t have a ton of damage options in their hands to begin with but defense is always welcome, and we need to do damage eventually
says, “Teak - that was Quick, did you mean to end turn?”
ꙮ Oh fuck me lol
says, “the void does not know about Time Hits”
says, “lmao”
says, “Also, Sussurus that Hip Shot me takes 1 Stress (Inherent)”
says, “the multi-star icon means “attacks all in row,” correct?”
When we use the stress interface, do we only click the amount of stress we took with the most recent hit or do we click the amount of stress we’ve taken total?
Awoken - yes
says, “(I think I did that right?)”
says, “Each click of Stress adds that much stress”
says, “So if you take 2, then 1. You can either click 2, then 1. Or just do a 3.”
ꙮ Clicking a number on the wheels stresses/recovers/defends/pierces for that number and will modify your current total HP/Defense appropriately, if that makes sense? so you click for the most recent hit, yeah.
says, “and then… back to the Awoken, Clockwork, finish with Hunter for the rest of our turns”
says, “Yep. Also, it gets the bonus damage even though Hunter hasn’t played a rite?”
says, “Yeah I was wondering about that too”
says, “Thirded…”
ꙮ …okay yeah that’s almost certainly a misread of the card. That does not deal the bonus damage
says, “Probably not as intended but it’s Funny if teak wants to interrupt it that way. Makes it a stronger opening card for us too >_>”
says, “I mean, technically the last card you played wasn’t Sidereal…because you haven’t played yet… ”
ꙮ We can have a Discussion about it earlier, I think it’s funnier to read it that way but it makes it a much stronger card, lol
ꙮ Later, rather. lol
says, “Aye. It seems in theme for the card…ending neutrality VERY early…”
says, “ye im cool with either honestly lol”
says, “Yeah, basically”
says, “Hell yeah, that finishes off the Emanant”
says, “or, well, it should have”
says, “ah there we go”
says, “also it wasn’t -supposed- to be red mana flavored but eh I’m counting it because it got bonus damage from inherent grace”
says, “… how many void-bodies are we standing on? ”
says, “…you just HAD to ask that question…”
says, “its void all the way [garbled noises]”
headtilts. “Why hasn’t the right-side Sussurus gone yet?”
says, “Oh, that’d be why.”
says, “i keep getting Phantom Double Clicks when opening my hand is all, teak lol. ”
Sins, take +1 Def
says, “Question–does Defense soak the stress from targeting someone with the “don’t look at me” grace?”
ꙮ Yes
Yes. Stress that bypasses Defense is notated as Pierece
says, “Thanks, God! (And also Teo.)”
Happy to help encyclopedia.
says, “I also took the 1 from targeting the sus, I applied it already”
Rude.
Wait, +4 or +5, Ice?
says, “typo :D ”
says, “‘typo :D’ is amazing”
says, “deleted”
says, “i was gunna buff and then it dawned on me that war monger would, in fact, boost both hits so carnage instead”
says, “Wolf, very internally, looking over at Hunter and thinking “showoff”. -laughs-”
ꙮ Hahaha
says, “Extremely”
says, “I was gonna drop my fiend for discard shenanigans and then wolf-priest decided to h0rk the thing and so I realized I had better options haha”
says, “We don’t draw until a card makes us or we refresh, right?”
ꙮ omnomnom
ꙮ Correct, yeah. Or unless you have an inherent grace that tells you to
says, “may I go first? I … think I have something useful for everyone (though that turned out bad for Ice last time ;() ”
I missed that the Grace on the left hand side of the hand isn’t the only buff - there’s the stuff at the top too. I was supposed to draw two extra cards at the start, oops
says, “go for it”
Go for it!
says, “Hit it!”
says, “yeah go nuts ”
Fuckemup
ꙮ Feel free to just draw the extra cards now if you want, lol. We’re all getting used to this
says, “Oh and another +1 defense for Hunter”
says, “assuming this counts as a non-strike rite, which I believe it does”
correct!
says, “Oh hey–that “first 1 round +1 defense”–that defense doesn’t /expire/ after the first round, does it?”
Defense expires when it gets struck
says, “Ohhh gotcha ”
May I?
says, “ye”
Go ahead!
says, “yeah defense lingers! (In exchange it’s really hard to heal stress instead)”
says, “watching the drawpile jump from 20 to 25 is funny”
says, “Heeey Awoken. That Omen Forgery. That can target ME, right? >.> Give me two copies of a card from my deck?”
says, “sure can”
wiggles his eyebrows suggestively at you
says, “before anything else, I am an enabler >:3”
Damn. Tried to Bait Teak into using Massive Pyre for hilarious fun and profit.
says, “Sooo…interface-wise, how do I copy two versions of a card into my deck from my drawpile?”
ꙮ So the way I would do that
Scry a card into your hand, drag it to field, copy twice, discard card, bring it to hand, return copies to hand.
ꙮ Scry the card out of your deck into your hand, then play it to the field; copy it, add each copy into your hand, then add the original back into your draw pile
discard / bring to draw, not hand
Oh there’s an add to deck buitton
ignore me
says, “hmm i think I’m next up?”
says, “Yea”
ꙮ No, I am lol
says, “Bahhhh ”
says, “well yeah, after your monster obv ”
ꙮ that said, heads again, fuck me lol
This is going VERY weird and wrong, so I’m just going to…have a note that I have two copies of this card…
I now have ZERO copies of Rootblade in my deck. O_o OR my hand.
says, “rootbladen’t”
ꙮ Oh dear. We’ll play it by ear - we know you’ve got two copies in your hand and tbh this’ll be over before you’d draw the one in your deck
says, “I just have NO idea what went wrong.”
Also, that sussurus took 1 stress for targeting me
says, “did you get the war cry buff too?”
says, “Con más War Cry, porfa”
says, “ur not sorry”
says, “…gonna have to up my game to match Hunter’s damage numbers…”
says, “Fang got that good alpha strike shit”
says, “on the one hand I keep forgetting Exactly One Modifier each time, otoh Hunter is in fact not taking it serious and showboating a bit so the ‘oh wait actually you’re dead tehe’s kinda fit >_>”
says, “okay I laughed IRL at that one”
Sins, you want next, or may I?
Go ahead!
says, “oh yeah do I move lanes too?”
says, “if it makes you feel better teak my One Free Draw did in fact give me a Wound so i have no direct attacks in hand :D”
says, “yeah, one to each remaining lane to keep the numbers balanced.”
ꙮ I’m not sure who hasn’t gone yet in this round, haha
says, “and yeah i got a really good hand for Burst damage (but also am SUPER build for Big Hits haha)”
I’m up! Should be the last one I think
says, “Discard Massive Pyre? Boooo”
says, “Has Wolf-Priest gone?”
Just did!
says, “ah ic!”
says, “oooh rootblade is the torq, yeah that’s a fun one to dupe”
ꙮ rootblade is so good
Yep. Because the NEXT rootblade now does +2 damage and adds +2 MORE to everything else…
I don’t think this guy will last that long, tho.
says, “ye”
says, “Saint, Awoken, either of you want the kill? It ain’t got much left.”
Or I can just stab it again.
says, “you drew two rootblades you should use two rootblades”
says, “yeah agree”
says, “haha”
says, “do we ALL pile into the left lane?”
says, “oh I guess we do”
says, “we surround them like a herd of kindergardners and beat them down”
I think it’s just “all one lane” now
says, “yup now everything collapses down to one so we get to dogpile the heck out of this thing”
says, “Oh dear, Knight KO”
says, “Or is it…?”
says, “Shouldn’t be”
says, “knight has many stress tolerance”
says, “Ahh gotcha.”
says, “Misread”
says, “I like the third line on Vigilance”
says, “Command from Saint on Hunter to just obliterate it? =D”
ꙮ feel free to All Out Attack / Cinematic Victory this one if you’ve got a cool trick in your hand you want to have fun with
oh can I do that? he wouldn’t have to wait another turn
ꙮ Like, it’s dead and I want to have a few moments of wind-down, haha
ꙮ So if you Want To Do Something Cool, godspeed
says, “I say everyone write a good hit in”
says, “(Well, everyone still active.)”
says, “…+2 more from Wind Up…. but who’s counting”
says, “ogod hachi rollin ”
says, “out of mild curiosity, and i ask mostly because we can very clearly see the energy make up of a target’s pog on the battle mat but - do we ICly get a general sort of sense of the gnosis make up of people/creatures when you’re around them?”
You can get a sense of it if you’re in a Rite of the Dragon, or if you roll gnosis about it
says, “right on ”
says, “(two people definitely did not have the energy hunter would have expected from them haha)”
Can I do a lil wind-down exchange?
says, “Oh? ”
says, “Or is there Architect info”
says, “Uh, specifically with Saint, if she don’t mind”
she does not mind, as long as the dragon permits
says, “the Architect will leave y’all to get some R&R and talk amongst yourselves, yeah”
says, “also that “that’s” should have been “that is”, talking without using contractions at all is hard :E”
says, “How much longer are y’all expecting to go? ”
says, “VOCAL TICS”
Not a ton longer, and nothing, like…suuuuper necessary?
I’m tired and my stomach hurts so if it’s okay I think the Archivist will turn in early
says, “Take care!”
Yeah, go get some rest! I ain’t far behind.
just sees a comfy bed and says “I live here now”
but is it a water bed
ꙮ o7 yeah this ran later than I frankly intended for it to and I’m fine with people retiring to their rooms at this point, ALSO if you want to run scenes with each other or with me that is absolutely something that can happen, just poke me
First sesh with new mechanics always runs long
ꙮ Thank you so much for playing! =D It feels so good to be getting this off the ground finally. Thank you for bearing with me in the first, like, wide scale playtest of the Rite, too
says, “the Red urge to bully the self proclaimed demi god vs the Green urge to not make the guy giving food and board cry………………………”
I had fun. thank you for all the help with the rite!
says, “hunter I would assume you’re talking to me but it is equally likely you are talking to the architect hahaha”
says, “oh no the architect, afaik the Awoken has not claimed to be a god-like being, yet”
says, “oh no not yet ok”
says, “where’s the rules on playing Tactician”
says, “tfw i feel like i just channeled my inner aleithi and opened the Awoken’s wikipage and spoilered myself on something without context”
ꙮ pffff
says, “hahahah”
ꙮ Posted the Tactician rules over on Discord, btw
says, “http://storagebin.wikidot.com/snct:dragon and then there’s “playing through the rite as a tactician” as well as the actual kits at the bottom”
ꙮ Oh shit it just. Usefully links them here, too, that’s exciting.
says, “oh shit that makes a clickable link, hot”
says, “hahahah”
ꙮ Genuinely did not know it would do that
says, “I’ve got, like…two more lines. (Fading fast, now that the rite is done.)”
says, “also to finished that earlier thought, Knight, was Hunter was actually thinking about during the rite was “huh, Saint has a lot more white gnosis than expected, i guess I assumed pretty wrong there” followed by “jesus christ that is a LOT of red on the fey kid””
:)
says, “hahahah”
says, “thank you for running teak H H H H DRAGON”
says, “ogod carots have special text properties”
says, “yeah you can raise da roof ”
says, “can I talk in a mocking voice ”
says, “you and also lower the pitch and do the dumb voice ”
says, “Oh good grief. -laughing-”
says, “aaaaaaaaaaaaa i think i’ve still got it, that’s good to know. also ilu all, you’re amazing.”
says, “yeah was fun!! i kinda wanna chew on the fat a bit more but i’m also about to go eat dinner so i guess that’ll wait for next sess”
says, “well…”
says, “I’m going to just go ahead and preemptively open TWO scenes for “just fucking around in the Sanctuary” if people want them, lol, and if they don’t get used that’s fine”
says, “we could ask teak if we can <s>bully</s> go visit the other people the architect saved in a scene if that’s not on deck for next session already”
says, “haha4”
says, “hm hm hm. i’m gonna say because it doesn’t make sense for this NOT to be the case that if you’re actively looking for them you’ll be able to find them and as such I’d run a scene where they showed up; other than that I intend for some of them to show up next session ”
says, “silvered haven….! ”
says, “having to name scenes BEFORE they start and not AFTER the session is over is going to Physically Destroy Me”
says, “can’t edit it in post?”
says, “oh you DID do it the way I thought where it’s one scene-per-session”
just noticed A Sanctuary was properly archived lol
ꙮ hm i can’t delete archived scenes, that’s intriguing. not that i really expect to need to
says, “wild”
ꙮ i can and should add the ability to rename scenes after they are archived, though, yes
says, “Example IC Session, waoa will live on in infamy forevermore”
ꙮ wild assed question: is “speech” even necessary as a formatting option? like all it is doing is adding a says, “ to the beginning of a post but I think half of the problems at minimum were people doing an action with speech selected or vice versa
says, “hahaha ”
says, “imo, probably not? I think the two distinct entries was mostly a remnant of w/e code you based this off of, which was more uh… Forum-y rather than IRC-y”
I don’t think it’s really necessary, all things considered? it’s easy enough to add “says” ourselves if it really want to.
says, “lord knows my “add qoutes myself” reflexes are deeply ingrained in either case lol”
says “as we get increasingly ”“quotes”“”**“ about things”
says, “haha”
ꙮ hahaha
ꙮ Yeah upon reflection I think I’m gonna get rid of Speech/Action mode entirely and just have Action Mode and that’ll at least make the behaviour more consistent and learnable
says, “then I’ll just have to stop doing the reactive /me’s…..! but that’s prob easier”
**“A million butts stacked atop each other like cordwood i NEED to solve the bug that’s scrolling up to the top of a page when I change my goddamn avatar, lol”
**“Also I need to make it so that starting an action with a quotation mark does not fuck up the formatting with bonus asterisks if I’m going to get rid of the Speech mode.”
says, “”A Conversation Within A Conversation””
**“oh right action”
it also gave me bonus asterisks like … at some point here: “this is a ”“test”“ or maybe not”
. “there’s just no universe where it both knows what to do with doubled-up quotation marks and ALSO turns them into pretty quotation marks that I can… actually no I think i CAN think of a way I could fix that but it’s definitely unnecessary if I’m deleting Speech Mode anyhow, I think.”
says, “prob yeah ”
there are also worse things than bonus asterisks
aaarggghhh why did i design specific things in the way i designed them years ago
pat
