"A...package delivery? But, why me?" she asks uncertainly.

>>143658
"Because they cannot make a villain of you. You don't have wealth or power, you don't have fangs or paws. You are not threatening, no one would suspect you, and you wouldn't have much to say even if they did."

>>143659
Amber continues to look uneasy but she doesn't press on the importance of that criterion. "Well, I guess I can do it...what do I need to deliver and where?"

>>142758
I really like that opening. Makes Berry look like a total loser and has a bit of slapstick humor. If the game's an homage to LISA don't worry too much about reimagining its mechanics, as long as inspiration from other sources gets used too.

>>142868
Someone hasn't played the first game

>>142869
I'd say the answer lies somewhere in the middle. If you played the element of justice, it should come more obvious to you.

>>142871
Like with LISA?

>>142873
Ye

Let the discussion continue, yall.

I think twilight is a psychopath. Remember a birthday photo frame where spike is crapped out? (pic related) It's sad she forgot to invite her number one assistant and all. Also, in "lesson zero" she tries very hard to come up with a friendship problem as if it's something to be made a revelation of. And while at it, she endargers the whole town of ponyville just to impress her mentor. you can say she was feared for Celestia's punishment but nah... I think it's not interesting to see things that way. Considering all this, twilight looks like she's an overly obsessed individual. Her priorities are circling around information gathering through the sole basis of conducting an experiment. Aside from categorising knowledge, any observation she makes is immediately labeled and put in her library. Twilight is more than a book worm. she is a perfectionist who puts knowledge before everything else. Not to be powerful but just because she has no real friends. Speaking of which, she didn't bother to check on her previous friends until season 5. I think that speaks volumes about her personality. And although I hate later seasons, I can sure use some of their lore to justify my own.

Okay, so where am I going with all this, you ask?
Hm... We'll cross and burn that bridge once we get there.

Initially there were more than six magical elements but Celestia thought they are culprits of evil and threw them away, keeping only the six nice looking ones and labeling them the elements of harmony. The rest were scattered all across the land, holding power beyond one can ever imagine. Power of justice, lust, greed, power. All of those elements have eventually found their ways in possession of various ponies and therefore sealed their fates. Once and for all. Element of justice was the most destructive of them all. Since it gives power to those in search of revenge, it's an unstoppable ever expanding force, spreading in all directions, creating a wave of morbid creatures who turn violent in response to violence.

Element of justice was a simple game. I knew how it starts and how it ends. Element of lust will follow a relatively same path. Weird but to me its easy to come up with the some ends first and then find ways to connect them.

And lastly, I think it's improbable for octavia to endure Vinyl for so long without giving some sort of explanation in later titles, some key aspect that gives an idea of why octavia just lived with her burden of a roommate. Okay, picture this. You share a room with Vinyl. Vinyl is a drug addict who keeps selling your stuff and getting high with all the money she gets. It's only logical for you to kick her butt out after it happened twice or thrice. So it makes no sense for Octavia to keep ignoring the issue, petting vinyl's back each time and saying that it's okay she messed up and got high her 25th time. There must be something going on there I'm not seeing.

Okay. What if... Octavia once heard some of vinyl's music and fell madly in love with it. The dark techno beats combined with smooth elegant brass keys. The bass clinging like heavy metal rushing through her ears has made her an addict in her own sense. Those ugly notes, yet so captivating and precise. It's gotten to the point when Octavia only wanted to hear more so she was locking herself in a room and sinking in Vinyl's bass all by herself, whispering her name and smiling ever so lightly, something that she does rarely in her life.

Okay. So octavia keeps up with Vinyl's bullshit because she secretly loves her dubstep. That's retarded enough to be brilliant.

Also Minuette runs a pawn shop.

Okay, this week's session didn't go anywhere because the party tank wasn't able to attend, and the rest of the party didn't want to go forward without their designated pincushion.
I took the opportunity to rewind time by five hours (not retconning), and pointed out to the party that they were at a distance where they could have freely chatted with one another in the five hours during which they were observing Rhest, making the session an RP session where the PCs got to know one another, and rolled some Arcana/Local/History/Religion checks to see what they knew about the region.
I gave them some hype about the War Wizard Cromar, the Wizard whome they had been looking for. Cromar was among the mightiest wizards in Elsir Vale, stronger than Immerstal The Red. His War Magic Study spells and War Weaving laid waste to entire armies of goblins in the last war. He was a genius arcanist who had developed a vast array of personal and unique [War] spells. Despite his decorations, he refused to join the lord's court after the last war, retired to the Blackfens in solitude. Cromar was a skincaster, who'd tattoo'd his spellbook onto his body, and kept his most personal spells in his spellshard: an item known as the Eye Of Cromar. When he retired, he took his spells with him, and all advancements in the school of [War] magic study.

They rolled checks about hobgoblins as well. They knew that goblinoids of all kinds have cowardly and selfish tendencies, but hobgoblins above all value hierarchy and power. Hobgoblins will proudly fight to the death under the command of their leaders, which makes them apt in becoming samurai trained in the path of the ironheart. However, as goblins, they're cowards at heart, and their morale can be break easily if their leaders are slain.
Religion checks revealed that the patron deity of the goblinoids is Maglubiyet, the god of battle. Hobgoblins will worship whatever gives them power, but the instance that all hobgoblins in the region would have united under worship of Tiamat instead of fighting one another is not a common occurrance. These goblinoids must have been influenced by something to convert them all in such a quick manner, something powerful.
Further Arcana/Local checks revealed that goblinoids do indeed readily form connections with chromatic dragons, especially blue dragons. Their power-hungry and tyrannical tendencies make them well acquinted with the great blue beasts of the wastelands. Mighty blues often "adopt" a nearby tribe of hobgoblins, while stories tell of tribes that raise wyrmling blue dragons to adulthood over many generations. Some hobgoblins even share blue dragon blood, and these hobgoblins are known as the sunscorched goblins. Sunscorch hobgoblins appear much like their fellows, except for their brilliant azure eyes. They display exceptional cunning and patience, but often share the vanity of blue dragons. They have a natural love of power; when a sunscorch hobgoblin isn't leading a warband or tribe, he is likely the voice of wisdom behind its leader.
So if the party sees a hobgoblin with glowing blue eyes, he's likely one of the leaders.
The piss-goblin Cleric and the Sorcerer the party fought earlier are exanples.

Further Arcana/History checks revealed draconic hobgoblins ruling over hobgoblin tribes since generations ago. Legend tells of the Blood of Morueme, an organization made up of the dragon and draconic hobgoblin descendants of the legendary blue dragon Morueme. The blood of Morueme is likely to have seeded the radicalization among the hobgoblin tribes in the name of Tiamat.
So, basically, if the party sees a half-dragon hobgoblin or draconic hobgoblin, it's almost definitely a leader.
There were some religion checks rolled about Tiamat. She's basically dragon-Satan, and she's not a goddess you want to be involved with. The fear of The Dark Lady may be involved in fueling the hobgoblin morale, because dying in battle is preferable to sacrifice on the Altar of Tiamat.

Oh, and Aral's fancy new longbow is an intelligent weapon (because I hate myself, and went ahead and rolled all of the tables...). It appears to be compatible with him, but he has not figured out how to communicate with it yet. He may learn more about it when he's spent some more time with it. (And when I get around to fleshing-out this unexpected NPC...))

Artorias's egg-thing remains a mystery. All Artorias knows is that the temple wasn't hesitant to give it away at all, and that it's supposedly essential to the final steps in his training.
The metallic egg-shaped device is clearly manufactured; this being revealed by the rivets on its surface. Artorias wasn't given any instructions on how to incubate it, so he can't assume that it has any sort of creature in it. The device doesn't have any sort of magic aura either, so it's purpose is a mystery.
Artorias, having had this thing for several months now, may have been feeling that his temple just gave him this thing to get rid of him, when they sent him off on an ambiguous crusade to a far-off region. However, the mysterious prophecy of an army of doom rallying under a red banner has proven itself to be true, so maybe this heavy trinket might indeed be important to his carreer as a Cleric.

For some reason this egg wouldn't upload.

Oh, and for any of you lurkers who read this ugly thread, RHoD is still accepting new players. We could use another tank or a blaster.

>>134894
Well it has nothing relating to him in any way, if you wanted to resurrect someone you invoke them with their name, you wouldn't use a bunch of scribbles, there is no concrete foundation to this if you were gonna go about it by not using their name then you would use images or symbols directly connected to them like you would use a dead persons jewelry or something which belonged to them to resurrect them.
If you were going to use a rune the sig rune would be the best since out of all the runes the sig is most associated with Hitler, you could attempt to resurrect the swastika which Aryanne is more suited for being able to accomplish since it is engraved into her.
There is no true "valid" way of resurrecting someone since that tradition has been lost but most people will use something that makes them think of that specific person, when you look at this image you do not think of Hitler because it has nothing related to the man or his identity.
OP claims that it will revive his spirit but does not explain how the sigil works in his revival whatsoever, which makes this pretty sketchy and foggy to the meaning of this mash of letters.
>>134863
The first image makes you think of Hitler the most out of all the so called sigils because it has 2 swastikas, it would be better to chant his name while looking at an image of him.
This stuff is pretty basic, why would someone go into hiding after posting a strange sigil that he has not told the meaning off? And wants people to trance on it? Why would he want other people to do it and not do it himself? I don't trust this sigil because it could be anything.

The dude was throwing stuff at the wall and scrapped any good idea off to get the cluster fuck.
>, it would be better to chant his name while looking at an image of him.
The mlpol thread mentioned that. Well might as well try to find the thread.

>>134903
I think this is a resurrection symbol

Well this might take a bit. In other news the archive is still awesome.

>>134911
Forgot I actually posted the link a long while back. Such humble beginnings.

Uh, yeah. I just got on and there's just a dev server, no resources but rocks and wood, and none of the commands work. What happened?

Spark continues down the road. What all is there to see? Is the city starting to decay with the ponies under lockdown, or are they forced to upkeep?

>>142997
This is a little hard to tell. The road Spark went down is not a commercial avenue with shops along the side, but rather a curving road where in most areas the land on the left is higher than on the right. There are occasionally apartment buildings, warehouses, and less often shops, although these tend to have parking for carts. Most buildings are brick, no more than three stories, and almost everything except the road surface has at least some cover of snow. There is some smoke from chimneys and more than one cart passes by, not stopping or looking back. No buildings seen thus far have obvious signs of being hit by artillery.

Definitely a Persistomancer who abuses Divine Metamagic to persist short-term buff spells. Persist Greater Consumptive Field and walk past a pile of ants for near-infinite strength all day (or murder a sack full of kittens in a consumptive field ritual). Use Extraordinary Spell Aim to exclude yourself from your persisted Antimagic field.
Undeath Domain gives you Extra Turning. Planning Domain gives you extend spell. Being a human with two flaws and a positive charisma score means that you'll become a demigod rather early in the game. Not sure which deity grants them both though.

So anyone one here building a world? If so what is it based on?

>What if
and hear me out here
>a druid
now here's where shit gets wacky
>but they use mimics for clothing
somebody tell me how this isn't a good idea

>>141856
Wont said mimic just eat him when he wears them?

>>142087
yeah, but not if the druid's already made a deal with them that they protect him and in exchange they get to eat everyone he kills

What kind of homebrew creatures have you guys created?

For lack of better phrasing, there are strange entities that exist and you won't truly believe unless you have a noteworthy experience, that's it, but I'll elaborate.
There isn't anything that is cemented as being ghosts or demons but there are beings that we cannot see with the naked eye, these things are most of the time invisible but can under the right circumstances become visible, they seem to act on their own accord without much intervention and prefer the dark to roam around, they appear to float without weight and control their gravity at will.
I can't exactly preach or proclaim to have seen or been in the presence of "ghosts" or "spirits" but there is definitely some strange things out there, if you really want to find out, you have to go to the right place at the right time to witness some surreal shit, sitting in a bedroom and calling up spirits can work but for actual sightings to be made you have to look for them in their homes, not yours, unless your house is haunted.
Fires seem to arouse night wanderers and If you wait while being patient by one in the right spot deep in the dark somewhere, you just might get to see one of them, they will reveal themselves to you, if not then you are not worth being shown, they take likings to certain people who are unique and favor being hidden but will do so if necessary, some will call you mad for claiming to have been in the presence of what can be described as a 'daemon', the things I have seen are existing in a whole opposite way of operating to us and cannot be classified under given names, they are generally peaceful but can be angered if you pry too far.

You have to break yourself from the idea that rationality is the be all end all of the world. After that you begin to realize just how much more is possible than you could ever have conceived before.

Hard mode: Read Kant

Easy mode: Where do your thoughts come from? Like, when you close your eyes to meditate... they just sorta jump in there right? How? Why? Seriously commit to asking yourself this question, and continue to ask yourself why to each answer you come up with.

I think he gets stuff half right.

>>142419
He's calling into question the way you come to truth by questioning axioms. You are taking your own axioms as evident. He's pointing out that it's impossible for you to prove them.

Yes, I'm aware what he says but point still stands.
