Hmm… only problem with giving aury a new weapon is that i can’t… really… imagine him fighting without using both hands….? and a 2h gunblade seems sillier than a 1h one, somehow, on top of not being all that different from a 2h sword… is he just… going to be super dumb… and go gunblade + dagger…………..

ꙮ she doesn’t TYPO much i don’t think, she’s just incredibly lazy and shitposty in a very specific way

lol real glad I’m not trying to play more than one character since Salme insists on tone-switching like an insane woman

honestly the Real Question is if Aurelius is going to get a fancy outfit change too

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

he doesn’t need one but will he be able to resist?

Avatar
Aurelius

wasn’t planning on it at least

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

fair enough. you’re already contending with changing weapons

Avatar
Aurelius

not that either of those things is particularly exhausting

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

well thinking up designs is exhausting

Avatar
Aurelius

shit i just do that idly in the background lol

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

well I mean there is an argument for aurelius modifying his clothes considering: peacock and also considering: walking around in Annarr’s … entire … body

Avatar

you’re right, it’s cyborg time

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

oh god

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

I meant he can’t change the body but he can change the clothes

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

but I mean if he wants to saw off some limbs and go part endjinn salme will love him anyway

Avatar
Aurelius

would she still love him if he was a worm

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

I mean considering her rate of “loving weirdos” yeah probably

Avatar
Aurelius

also luckily for me he is NOT salme and thus would not go nuclear after considering ‘perhaps this should not be my body’, god bless the undine nature

oh just generally, I know teak’s off and on thinking of the next game but not enough to start writing shit down yet so I haven’t really put much thought into it either

i am playing TWO kinda laid back, lets other people take initiative characters at once and it’s really making me wanna do something more active next (tho if people actually does reboot his last game attempt that will be an easy outlit for it…)

Avatar

Nice

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

I mean it was your choice to do that

lolololol

cause i sure as shit didn’t wanna potentially be the reason the game imploded after all that time

ye ye

one of the first instances

Avatar
Aurelius

didn’t even have the set worlds or anything

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

holy shit really?

Avatar
Aurelius

and instead of writing up a character, teak wanted us to write up a story about a random world, and the plan was to collect as many of those as got written (perhaps even more than the number of players)

Avatar
Aurelius

and then each PC would randomly be from one of those worlds (tho the amnesia thing after waking up in sanctuary was still there)

Avatar
Aurelius

and i actually still have the file with my entry for that lol

Salme, The Sword-Saint

also hot AND practical. what do you use for fighting style inspo? mostly games you’ve played?

Avatar
Aurelius

vaguely? idk if I ever take much direct inspiration from any one given then, I just tend to have a solid mental image in mind that might pull from a lot of different things or nothing in particularly. gunblades is particularly are funny since i can’t actually. recall many if any FF8 / FF14 animations off hand, despite gunbreaker being my main for years at this point… since i play at make zoom with sfx on lol

i mean realistically you are one of three people:

the world’s most boring white dude and you’re intent on your avatar being the same because you’re Not Gay (or you’re a woman who’s gotten one too many weird DMs in her time)

probably still the world’s most boring guy but you are at piece with this and want to have Hot Girl avatar instead

you are a furry and will take any opportunity given to flex this

I kind of want to run a game sometime in which the players are (also) the villain lieutenants in a magical girl villain society, and have responsibility for making the monsters of the week and arguing over whose fault it is when they fail

SYSYSYGAMI

you have to make monsters out of your own personality traits and you cross them off the sheet when a monster made from them fails. (“You are not required to abandon this part of yourself, but you are socially expected to.”)

Yeah, I just need a starting place. Archie would have made a mental note of the location of the momo place where we first found out about the contest, since she said the person there is the reigning winner, but he doesn’t expect him to give up his secrets so easily so his plan would be to do some recon there but then go to a good food neighborhood afterward to talk to a whole bunch of less-winning-but-still-good chefs in a group after

Also wait, how does Poison work with when you run out of cards in your deck? Does drawing multiple cards at once happen all simultaneously so only one of them is Poison or do you draw Poison, put it back, draw Poison, put it back, draw Poison

The latter feels mega unfair so I doubt it’s that but the wording is funky

yeah it’s all at once, a single poison isn’t supposed to be a stunlock kill condition lol

quick side note while I move through this turn - I put a Poison and a Curse in my deck, tried to “Scry to hand” the Poison to remove it with [Elixir] and it made both the Poison and the Curse both seemingly disappear? I added the Curse back to my deck and the Poison’s supposed to be gone anyway but thought I’d bug report it

one more rules question, sorry - does the draw and discard from the Pellucid passive go before or after you have the option to Refresh for the turn? It feels like Refreshing or not should be the first thing you do based on the turn layout but I wanna make sure

yeah refreshing being absolute first probably makes sense

ꙮ As written, “at the start of your turn”, which is also when Refresh happens, so… yeah, let’s go with that

does that mean you can refresh, draw 4, draw bonus cards on refresh based on pellucid, and then do the draw/discard which is also based on pellucid

Okay I’m so sorry but something mega funky happened that I’m not sure if there’s a way to undo - the random card that was put from my hand into play instead of Poison was Defuse, I tried adding it back to my hand but it seems like it’s just… gone?

ꙮ sec

ꙮ there, summoned a Defuse onto the board

ꙮ god willing it will not Mysteriously Vanish

exciting news, I tried playing the Poison again and it was the other card in my hand instead and the poison disappeared, but adding Lurk back to my hand worked fine and I just put another Poison in my deck

ꙮ wacky

Avatar
Archie

I’m so so sorry - I tried to use my draw and discard to discard a Wound after drawing a Poison, the Wound and the Lurk in my hand disappeared and Poison went to my discard

ꙮ Ain’t your fault the system’s being fucky, I just wish I knew what the fuck was happening ._.

Avatar
Archie

it seems like it’s mostly/almost exclusively status cards?

ꙮ Anyway call it a bank error in your favour just generate a new Wound to your draw pile and don’t worry about it. >_>

hm, that time I could return Poison from my discard to my hand, play it, and destroy it no problem. No clue what the hap is fuckening

well so fun story, narrator-glyph with 7 eyes is a simplification of the 10-eyes version. I ended up looking into the history of its origin and usage

Maybe I should also mention it was only used in one Russian religious text and it was in reference to an angel, which seems… increasingly relevant
