/vx/ - Videogames and Paranormal

I'd like to invite you guys to join in on a nice thing we've got going on in a memeblocks serb, called Civcraft.

We have a comfy little settlement that I plan to make into a larger city as time goes on. Information follows:

IP of the server: mc.civclassic.com

Basic info on what it is:

Information on what mods to grab: https://civclassic.miraheze.org/wiki/Mods

Coords of the capital (Palmyra) to our nation, the Chanseatic State: x:8450 z:-7150

Coords to our settlement, Vanhoover: x:2273 z:-9656

Welcome to the new /vx/ board - Videoganes and Paranormal! Just as mlpol was born of the merging of two wildly different topics into a single merged board, this board combines the topics of 4chans /v/, /x/, and /tg/ boards. And while /vint/ did not live on as we did, this board pays homage to the board, created and killed by an indifferent 4chan administration, in the flags that adorn this board.

As this is a new board, it does not have a firmly established set of rules. Unlike 4chan, this is a user driven site, and we are looking for user input into what the rules of this new board should be. Post your suggestions in the comments

I read the future, tell me your questions and if I'm still here I may respond.

Occupied Equestria is an RP campaign set in a post-Equestria Equestria, where the princesses are gone, as are the Elements of Harmony. Gone, temporarily at least, but not by any means forgotten.

New players are welcome.

Fantasy Play has a few "kitties" to cuddle with
Brie has a Changeling Queen to negotiate with
Iron has some gangsters to beat
Silver has some follow up to do
Amber is exploring her new home
Spark is either looking for forest demons, or negotiating the fate of a tribe of Wolves
Midnight has more cultists to kill
Onyx has a colt to look after
Dark Star has some communists to kill

This board has vidya, this board has gaymes, but this board doesn't have any active paranormal threads as far as I can tell.
>Post Paranormal experiences!
>Post spooky pictures so that people don't forget this thread exists if you don't have any of those!
Help!

Post 'em

A bunch of users wanted a run down of magick and thoughtforms and all that jazz. I figure I'll do large post explaining the practical basics of everything. This thread is going to be a general for magick, a place to chat with people also practicing and finding practical advice. This article will be from a baseline bare skeleton pov. There's literally an infinite amount of ways to do magic. So we're going to talk about the core.

My base was a mix of psionics and chaos magick, broke into impromptu sympathetic magick. Took a break after a heavy loss. But I've since restarted by dabbling in evocation. WTF does that mean? It means I made thought forms and egregores, then started using sigils, then started doing voodoo stuff with random objects within reach, then took a break, and now I summon demons and mlp ponies. WTF does that mean? Read and find out.

What is Magick? Lets Plow Through This...

Magick is a methodology of imposing your will on reality to cause changes within it by utilizing an inherent power. The mechanisms remain the same. Even though there are 6 gorrilion types of magick.

Law of attraction, chaos magick, planetary magick, voodoo, wicca, hermetics, devil worship, psionics, pop culture magick, sigil, candle, shamanism, magick of solomon. On and on with the hidden fringe magicks. You could literally read every waking hour for the rest of your life and never run out of information.

By far the most popular is Kabbalistic Magick. The secret jew magick taught in synagogue to true believers. Why do you think all the celebrities are fucking Kabbalah practitioners? Why the fuck do you think the jews control everything?

Hell there's even a dark reflection to Kabbalah. Kabbalah uses the tree of life, while this other art uses it's opposition, the Qliphothic Tree of Death. If you really wanted to stick it to the jews, learn that shit. Its heavily demonic and overkill esoterically edgelord. But do it in your own time.

There are two paths of magick, high and low. High is basically self improvement, purifying your soul and reaching for godliness, low is making fat bank and banging sloots .... err earthly desires. Regardless of your path, both are exercising your soul's ability of creation (even if it's destruction). You are commanding and creating a new reality. You are assuming some of your power and becoming one with “God”.

Although without a doubt many people have tried playing Dungeons and Dragons in a MLP setting, afaik there is no complete rulebook or conversion set that allows for an immersive experience (this doesn't count: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Little_Pony_(5e_Race)). We've had some longstanding campaigns on /vx/ so why don't we build a reference as a community project? It doesn't necessarily have to be set in stone but it would better establish campaigns in rules of logic. It's impossible to have OOC discussion at length in a campaign so let's do it here.

Complete 3.5 rulebook: http://choisey.free.fr/3.5/Core/Indexed%20Player%20Handbook%20v3.5.pdf
Handy 3.5 reference site: http://www.d20srd.org/index.htm
A more comprehensive reference site: https://www.d20pfsrd.com/
Homebrew content: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page
"Monstrous Races" – useful if you have animals and monsters as sapient creatures like in MLP; unfortunately I don't have the book: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/230312/Monstrous-Races

What needs improving? Pretty much everything, but highest priority would be playable races and monsters, as canonically MLP is completely different from DnD in terms of sapient creatures and very different when it comes to other creatures. Amazingly entire campaigns have been played without precise knowledge of creatures' strengths and weaknesses, but setting the definitions straight will help nuance and variety.
Campaigns set outside the typical high fantasy realm of DnD, like our very own Occupied Equestria, present further uncertainty. Most guns (submachine guns were settled fairly recently, though I have no idea about LMGs/MMGs/HMGs) have already been worked out but, given it's a WW2 setting, how will vehicles function in combat? Can bits be expected to buy the same things as the recommended valuation of GP? These and any other gameplay questions can be discussed and answered here.

So I've been wanting to make dnd campagin for a while now. I have plot idea and I due to improvements in my writing skills, I think I have the consitenncy to keeep it up.

Though, I have only played dnd once before and that was years ago. I don't really know all the rules and while I know that most people who play it probably don't remember all the rules on top of their heads, I don't even know the basics orr what the basic entiles. Do you guys know the basic rules I need know to run a 3.5 version dnd campaign? I remembered that I once looked up a lot of stuff wheen as was about to join a campaign but has forgotten them now and also I thinnk it was incomplete.

Of coourse, I don't want you to waste your time spoonfeeding me all the details. I just have problem with sorting amoung the information which is important to know for being able to play and which are not.

I kind of just wanna play on the fly. Do you guys think that that would be possible? Like, ifyou just remained me of the rules when one needs them and I basically learn from you guys during the play.

Like, "Dude, here your suppose to tell me to roll a constitution check," or something.

Anyway, I have setting and a storyhook and very much ending. While I don't know how or anything of the ending since that is created by the players, I do know the main goal and mission the story is based upon so you know you can tell when the adventure is over.

I will do it very casually, in fact it will be a very casual campaign if it ends up happening. It might not be a campaign that you even have in your top list or anything but I hope that the journey that will be mostly created by the players; since I doubt I will be to railroading, will just set up a goal and how you get to it is your business; will be somewhat fun at least. I have intentions of throwing in some homebrew stuff as the story progresses. It's mostly simple and silly stuff like my created monsters and spells that you will end up facing respctively getting. I doubt it will even be noticed. Also, the story won't blow your minds either.
