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've been wondering about skinwalkers lately. Specifically, I've been wondering if there's any truth behind them, and whether or not that truth can be boiled down to a so-called "rational explanation." Now when I say "skinwalker," I'm referring more to the creature that frequents greentexts on /x/ and /k/ than I am to the Navajo legend. And even then, the creature I've come up with probably has more in common with the wendigo. However, I believe that these three traditions may be rooted in a common cause: specifically, an animal which has evolved to specialize in the hunting of humans. I am not a professional or specialist in zoology, archaeology, or anthropology, and I certainly do not claim that the explanation I'm about to lay out is necessarily the truth. It may be that the animal in question has completely different properties or a completely different origin from what I'm about to propose, and it's even quite likely that such an animal never existed in the first place. Who knows? Maybe it really is evil spirits or just a baseless legend. Whatever the truth is, I hope that the line of reasoning I've come up with gives you some interesting food for thought.
Call it a skinwalker, a fleshgait, a wendigo, or whatever you want. Skinwalker seems to be the most popular term for it on imageboards, so that's what I'll be calling it here. The essentials of the creatures in these stories are essentially the same, and this gives us the basis of the creature we have to explain here. Firstly, the skinwalker is roughly humanoid in shape. Secondly, the skinwalker differs from the typical human form in that it's very tall, thin, and pale in comparison, as well as being seemingly hairless. Thirdly, the skinwalker is much stronger than a human being, and is much more resistant to injury, as evidenced by the many stories of anons shooting the thing without killing it. Fourthly, the skinwalker is an exceptional mimic. For the purpose of this discussion, we'll discount the literal shapeshifting as being too fantastic to be true, but I'm perfectly willing to consider voice mimicry as a real property of the animal. Fifthly, and in my opinion most oddly, the skinwalker is often credited with having a terrible odor. These characteristics are common to both internet skinwalkers (in their "un-transformed" form) and wendigoes. Contrary to what many people on the internet claim, this description is also very too far off from the Navajo skinwalker in its "un-transformed" form, which is often described as looking emaciated and deformed, and often with loose skin and the ability to mimic voices. Thus, I propose that these three legends have a common origin in an animal with the characteristics I have described. It's possible that there are multiple species, perhaps a southern "Navajo skinwalker" and a northern "wendigo skinwalker," but for now it's enough to say that it's essentially the same kind of animal.
The biggest problem with describing the skinwalker as a natural animal, of course, is the same problem that arises from describing the bigfoot as a natural animal. Specifically, its humanoid appearance indicates that it's a primate of some kind, and the fossil record does not attest to the existence of primates other than humans north of the Rio Grande for millions of years. Where could such a creature come from? And how could its ancestors have dodged paleontologists so effectively? Bigfoot proponents appeal to gigantopithecus, claiming that it may have crossed the Bering Bridge into North America from Asia. Skinwalker theorists, of course, cannot possibly make the same claim. The highly robust gigantopithecus would certainly not have evolved into the highly gracile skinwalker. To find a progenitor for skinwalkers, we must instead look in the opposite direction, to South America.
About 2.7 million years ago, an event known as the Great American Interchange occured. In short, the isthmus of Panama is thought to have rose up from the sea to connect North and South America, and as a result a large number of species were able to migrate between the two continents. It may be supposed that creatures native to the jungles of the south would be unable to survive in the frozen north, and vice versa, but this is apparently untrue. The terror bird - a massive, flightless, carnivorous bird - came from the rain forests of South America, but the last surviving species of the terror bird family lived in North America. Sabre-tooth tigers migrated to the south and rapidly out-competed the South American marsupial lion to extinction.
Around the time of the Great American Interchange, there was a monkey in South America called protopithecus. Weighing in at 50 pounds, protopithecus was the largest monkey known to have existed in the New World. A close relative of the spider monkey, it had the same long, thin limbs. A close relative of the howler monkey, it's thought to have had the same complex vocal system. I propose that protopithecus or some closely-related monkey found itself in southern North America at some point during the Interchange. How exactly it got there or why it ended up staying is unclear. What is clear is that it was unaccustomed to the comparatively barren climate, and that it probably took to sheltering in caves for protection and comfort. Its fossils haven't yet been discovered because the environment of caves is not well suited for fossilization, and there's nobody looking for monkey bones in Arizona caves anyway. At any rate, these monkeys were certainly omnivorous to begin with, as is the howler monkey, and the sparse ecosystem of the desert caves probably drove them more and more toward the status of full-blown carnivores. Over time, these meat-eating, cave-dwelling monkeys took on those adaptations which one would expect of a cave monkey: the loss of body hair, the pale complexion, the reduction in prominence of the eyes, and and loss of the tail.

This is all very well written. I love this X-files type sci-fi and we seem to have a shortage of it in current media. Most of it is pew-pew lasers and FTL spaceships, but your posts here demonstrate very well that you don't need any of that to write with a scientific basis and expand it into just the right amount of fiction through logical speculation. Well done.
You have a writing quirk, by the way.
>The essentials of the creatures in these stories are essentially the same
>often described as looking emaciated and deformed, and often with loose skin
It's word repetition, but not throughout the whole text. Only in the same sentence, (or same thought spread throughout a 2-3 short sentences), but when you move onto the next thought, you begin to use some synonymous words / phrases to substitute the previously used ones. You do avoid repetition, just not when still within the same thought. And for artistic reasons, I fucking love it. It is odd at first, but gives some additional, almost rhyme-like structure to your paragraphs. You're likely not even doing it on purpose, but it does have its weird charm.

Heh, I get those too sometimes.
Anyway, luckily it worked out quite well. As long as the text you write is long enough for you to demonstrate that you do avoid repetition, erm, "globally", then it could be a legit artistic choice to choose not to avoid it on smaller scales (until the thought is fully articulated and you are ready to move on), and I have never considered this until I have read your 3 am s̶c̶h̶i̶z̶o̶ ̶r̶a̶m̶b̶l̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ skinwalker essay.
But about that, now I feel I should add some things from my own weird mind. You begin with positing that the species itself originates from the Americas, but then you move on to speculate that it could be much older, considering global exposure and extrapolating from that. Wouldn't that open up the possibility of more sophisticated mimicry, as it had more time to evolve (along humans no less, adapting at every step) and select for more complex behaviours? I mean things such as tool use or wearing clothes, or even some rudimentary understanding of the voice patterns they repeat. Basing all this on what certain monkeys are capable of. They can be trained to put on and wear clothing, they can use tools (or simply just carry around shit that humans carry with them in heir hands, even if they don't know what for), and most animals have some basic concepts of a greeting, a signal for help, a signal to attract potential mates, those sorts of things. It wouldn't be too much of stretch to suggest that a species could use some or all of the above for the purposes of hiding or attracting prey.
A skinwalker crying out
>please someone help me
could very well understand that it is broadcasting a "help me" signal without having any concept of words or sentence structure. Same goes with any seductive lines a hooker would throw at you from the side of the road. Is she just a really ugly whore, or is it a skinwalker trying to lure in food via mimicking the mating signals of its prey?
The wearing clothes thing also ties nicely into smelling like death. Firstly, they were peeled off of dead bodies, secondly, they aren't washed. Just worn. Possibly until they just sort of fall off.

That's a good point about the mimicking. I read somewhere that parrots can actually have a general idea of what they're saying, and it stands to reason that a talking primate would have at least as much understanding of words as a talking bird. But based on most alleged eyewitness accounts, it does still seem like they don't have a fully human-level comprehension of language, which was more or less all I meant to posit. Discounting some of the more fanciful stories like the "I wouldn't worry about it" one, skinwalkers are pretty much portrayed as just repeating things exactly as they heard them. So yeah, they probably would understand that "help me" is a distress call, but they wouldn't know how to use it appropriately in a conversation. It'd be interesting to find out if they could be taught proper language though. Gorillas and other apes can be trained to use sign language coherently, so a skinwalker in captivity could possibly be trained in vocal language.
As for tools and clothes, I can't really think of any stories that portray skinwalkers as using those, except again for the "I wouldn't worry about it" type stories where your friend suddenly has to re-learn how to use his phone or something. It's definitely conceivable though.

>I can't really think of any stories that portray skinwalkers as using those
Me neither, for stories that actually use the name "skinwalker", that is. But you suggested that all of these vampire-esque legends all over the world might as well be attributed to this same primate species and I was mainly exploring that angle with the whole clothing thing. An animal that can sort-of talk and sort-of wear clothing properly, to the point where someone could mistake them for an "undead" human on a surface level inspection, maybe strengthened by some trauma associated with the encounter. And now that I think more about it, it would perhaps also make sense for these "vampires" to sometimes make their nests in abandoned crypts, not just for the easy access to clothes but to mask the stench that follows them around.
But this is quickly getting into fantasy worldbuilding territory, so I guess this is a good place to stop for now. I'll still totally use it if I ever want to make sci-fi vampires though, it just has so much potential, and fits together so nicely.

"Well... Generally it's associated with pacifism. For instance, the great stag of the Chital, Sorrowless, was a conquering emperor in his younger years, but converted under the Great Vehicle and spread the religion in his later reign, regretting his earlier conquests. But at the same time, it's kind of hard to say, because unlike Celestialism, and certainly unlike any of the Griffin Pantheon, The Great Vehicle doesn't really moralize actions. It moralizes states of mind. So it isn't so much the act of killing someone that is forbidden, so much as anger, or revenge, or the desire to exert power over someone else. Spiritual leaders in that faith have said that killing in self-defense isn't prohibited. But it really isn't a faith associated with warriors in the way that Celestialism sometimes is, or Borealism is, or even than the followers of the Second Son in the Kirin Grove."

"Only surface level. It's about what they expect you to know to teach classes in religion and comparative religion to undergraduates at the University. But the only area I am really an 'expert' and could really write anything about is the religion of the Neighua, and maybe the Coltec."

“Well, yes. We’re investigating an archeological site reported my a visitor to a village a couple years ago. There’s the ruins of a small town out on the Snake, or ‘Windy’ River around sixty miles northeast of Tenochtitlan. They think it could have relics, artifacts, or especially architecture relating to the religion of the Neighua, specifically the Marexica nation.”

Greetings. Welcome to the first session of /mlpol/'s first running of the classic third edition d&d campaign Red Hand Of Doom.
On this adventure, our heroes, currently three strong, will encounter dozens of trials that will test their strength, cunning, and friendship as they face an army of goblins.
If you'd like to join, there's still room for more in the party. Don't be shy to ask.
Our story begins in Elsir Vale, with our three heroes on the road to the town of Drellin’s Ferry. The three are seasoned adventurers, and exated heroes to boot. Having fought many battles together before, they are confident in their strength. Legend has it of a vast treasure in the Vault of Vraath Keep, hidden deep in the Witchwood; our heroes, have journeyed all this way to seize the vault for their own.
Despite that, they all have their own motivations to travel to Drellin's Ferry:
Sir Whiskers, a cunning and charismatic Tibbet Jester, is travelling to meet up with an old friend of his: Princess Princess Bagel Jennifurr Fluffykinz the fourth. He hasn't met his old friend since he was a kitten, and he's eager to meet with her again. She has arranged to meet up with him in Drellin's Ferry, and to accompany him on his adventure.
Sir Brozal, a mighty Orc Crusader of Pelor, has received a mission from a high-ranking Cleric of his order has received a powerful vision of war descending on Elsir Vale under the banner of a clawed red hand, and has sent Brolaz to the far reaches of Elsir Vale to avert impending disaster... Brozal isn't exactly sure if the vision was real, or if his master just wanted to get rid of him for the year, but he never turns down a good crusade.
Brother Chad, a wise and powerful Druid, has chosen to accompany his companions on their hunt for the lost treasure in the Witchwood. Sir Whiskers requested his aid because Chad is the most experienced woodsman he knows. Chad is wary of this region, for he's heard that it is ruled by a fierce and territorial Druid, but he embarks upon this jouney nonetheless, the secrets of the Witchwood too tempting to ignore.
...So tempting that he seems to have drifted off somewhere with his horse; probably fucking it again or something. Stupid hippie.
And so, let's begin:
>The afternoon sun beats down on you; the air is hot and still. The sparsely settled lands of Elsir Vale are starting to grow monotonous, with a seemingly endless line of dusty flyspecks of towns. The town of Drellin’s Ferry lies a few miles ahead of you. It’s a settlement hard on the borders of the Witchwood, and the best place from which to begin exploring the nearby forest.
This is the part where the players ask obvious questions that I thoughtlessly ignored in the first post, as well as implore about their surroundings.

Brozal isn't exactly sure if the vision was real, or if his master just wanted to get rid of him for the year, but he never turns down a good crusade.
Brother Chad, a wise and powerful Druid, has chosen to accompany his companions on their hunt for the lost treasure in the Witchwood. Sir Whiskers requested his aid because Chad is the most experienced woodsman he knows. Chad is wary of this region, for he's heard that it is ruled by a fierce and territorial Druid, but he embarks upon this jouney nonetheless, the secrets of the Witchwood too tempting to ignore.
...So tempting that he seems to have drifted off somewhere with his horse; probably fucking it again or something. Stupid hippie.
And so, let's begin:
>The afternoon sun beats down on you; the air is hot and still. The sparsely settled lands of Elsir Vale are starting to grow monotonous, with a seemingly endless line of dusty flyspecks of towns. The town of Drellin’s Ferry lies a few miles ahead of you. It’s a settlement hard on the borders of the Witchwood, and the best place from which to begin exploring the nearby forest.
This is the part where the players ask obvious questions that I thoughtlessly ignored in the first post, as well as implore about their surroundings.

Last night was the new moon and i decided to do tarot cards and the 9th card i pulled was the upside down high priestess and i felt as if this card was extremely powerful in it's symbolism and all throughout today they have been number 9's everywhere, it also says "a secret is about to be revealed" and is ruled by la Luna so i know exactly what it means and it is not good.
Obviously the meaning of the card has come true with the fucking FBI posting this >>>/mlpol/280249 →
And activision posting this >>>/mlpol/280250 →
Obviously means that a secret has been revealed but i think there is more yet to come over the next couple of dates that involve the number 9, as the date (((they))) have revealed (((their))) secrets had the number 9.
I am obviously right, now that you can see.
The explanation of the upside down version card of the card reads as "delay all plans, because there are hidden obstacles or enemies. Be discreet"
Obviously i have not been discreet so the glow niggers might be hot on my ass trying to find me as this is something they probably don't want (You) fags to know, if i am abducted please know that this is the best Chan on the internet as of the moment and i had many laughs here.
I don't know why wouldn't still believe me.

So the devil from an outside perspective is that you've chained yourself in some manner. You are holding yourself in bondage, but not healthy limits. Maybe an outside force is holding you in bondage and servitude.

I haven't chained myself or at least i am not aware that i have sworn an oath to anything, i am not bound to anything.

What's a cubed nigger and the story?
I have a blood connection to the Egyptians so maybe it is a very deep connection to something in the story, what's the story about?

I am the main leader of myself but i cannot fully dominate it so i have only been able to establish a trustful bond with it, which works.

It's all me all the way down. From myself to my conscious, to my subconscious, to my unconscious, to my soul. If I can't recall something it's probably because it's used in magic at the moment or to prevent snooping around in my mind.
The chains the devil has on those two depicted on the card could use their inner divinity and escape those bonds.

That's good, hopefully the bond with strengthen and deepen. Don't dominate, conquer with friendship and goodness.

At about 6 minutes the tldr. Osiris died because he was inna box (it'sa trap!). His wifey tries to revive him enough to bang him one last time (or they need to find his dick). Set (or Seth) decides that killing the fellow god dude once was enough.
So he cuts up Osiris' body into ~42 peices. Casts it across the desert. And stuff happens after that as well.
So the important part besides kebabbing Osiris, Set is chaotic neural/good doing the job of clearing the way for the Ra the sun god in the underworld. He takes his job seriously.
Or it could also be because he was kicked (or humiliated)
Or Osiris touched Set's daughter and went to take care of business.
Or he was clearing the way for the future to take place than what Osiris could do.
I'm sure there are other stories that has that sort of theme that might be better.

I didn't know about the spider and bee story from him, he made a promise to the Celtic gods? I mean that pretty much tells you that he's on the right path or at least part of it.
>Uncle Bearheart for some real magic stuff.
He seems to know what he's doing.
>The chains the devil has on those two depicted on the card could use their inner divinity and escape those bonds.
Depends on how tied they are to it and the level of intelligence of them, a daemon is usually smart but a normal human is only able to achieve this through deep inner exploration of their mind and spirit.
>At about 6 minutes the tldr. Osiris died because he was inna box (it'sa trap!). His wifey tries to revive him enough to bang him one last time (or they need to find his dick). Set (or Seth) decides that killing the fellow god dude once was enough.
Yeah i know some of the Egyptian mythology but thanks anyways, i didn't know about Osiris's death, i will remember that.

Just did a horseshoe spread for the Libra sign but i'll tell you the ones that i believe are worth telling.
4 swords of 7, this is an obstacle to be overcome and 7 of swords is dishonesty, it reads as:
>Direct confrontation to an opponent will not work. You have to be cunning and use your wiles to defeat an enemy. Perhaps you have to sacrifice something in order to succeed.
The suit of swords relates to the element of air and Libra is a sign ruled by air, also when i was shuffling the cards the hanged man fell out and it reads as follows:
>A temporary pause in life. Go with the flow and accept the changes that are occurring. Cultivate patience. Perhaps you have to sacrifice something so something greater can be gained.
I think these two have a connection and i think both of them together mean that we must be patient as the sheep will begin to wake up to how dishonest the enemy is and how they are trying to push their shit. The sacrifice part may refer to how we are sacrificing our freedoms and that eventually the cattle won't be able to handle it anymore as there is a heavy amount of restrictions that's gonna be brought soon which will divide people.
6 wheel of fortune, it tells of a brighter future as long as you don't let others get you down, basically do not be brought down as long as you understand that is the point of these restrictions and it also shows the wheel is turning because of the change of seasons, it reads as follows:
>A 'turn for the better', the end result of past actions and the workings of destiny, which no one can completely understand. An end to current problems and some marked strokes of luck.
I pulled upside down empress at random and i felt an immediate telling that it had a large amount of meaning, the card is ruled by Venus and the Libra sign's star is Venus so more restrictions and tyrannical implementations shall be soon employed, the reversed meaning reads as follows:
>Being over-protective and tyrannical, emotional blackmail and perhaps poverty. Possible problems in pregnancy.
There was a couple others but they are personal so i won't post them.
Also hope you guys made the most of last summer as shit is gonna go down this autumn.
I'm gonna hand a few (You)'s out because i believe i am in a better state of mind then before and now is the right time to go over a few things.

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”.
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.

In essence it enables the ability to be well and healthy through techniques. Also to regain strength, and prevent its waste.
For occult purposes this is an addition to, and should work well as an important auxiliary foundation.
I think for everyone it's practically useful in all manner of situations even disregarding the occult part of it, and just as an instruction and general guideline to get more of the health better.
Well done.

That's a good review.
Vril Extraction:A hasty shoddy explanation the list.
1. Savor the food and drink till no flavor remains.
2. Properly absorb the water through stimulation. (Can capture vril from the air by passing the water between two cups ect.)
3. Fully breath, using all parts of the lungs. (Buddhist breathing, chest breathing, and collar bone breathing.)
4. Direct the mind toward collecting and absorbing vril. (Can also will the vril to be absorbed, and some automatic processes will pick up the task.)

Here's a useful nightime/bedtime/naptime affirmation or task.
For your unconscious mind.
It starts for the technique at around 3 minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rca3JZXvWGI
The TLDR, the tone is kindly and stern (alough that depends on you and who you are and who your unconscious is) give thanks for all that it has done throughout the day. Put forth your desire. Explain why it's important to you. Emotions and contexts can help. Then when it is time to sleep have the fuzzy idea as you drift to sleep.
I have done this to a lesser extent before watching the video by asking to awake at a certain time. Or to be awake by a certain time. What you mean is very important.
I think it is also possible for the soul, or subconscious.

Talismans are similar to amulets in the sense that they are supposed to give a specific benefit to the person who possesses the talisman.
A talisman can be made with pretty much anything like a stone, a container or jewelry but it is better to use something which has a meaning to you.
To make a talisman is to give certain states of mind into it or to trap a spirit inside of it, you can use all emotions but anger is the most volatile since it can create a aura of hate which can lead to bad consequences, each emotion is concentrated into whatever you are trying to make a talisman out of so you must decide what you want before making one, pretty much don't make a talisman unless you know what you want from it.
They produce what is like a magnetic field which brings in certain emotions or spirits depending on what you charged it with so this can be dangerous if you make a talisman of a hateful deity or of a negative emotion so be careful and think of what you really want from your talisman, if you find that you don't know then look at what emotion you are lacking then make it out of that emotion.
If you have finally chose that you want to make one the requirements for it is that you shouldn't do this unless you have some form of occult knowledge beforehand, it requires a decent amount of time since they become stronger depending on how much time you put into them. You must meditate on them to produce a desired effect or you can just cum on it, if you want a talisman of lust.
If you are using a container you should add ingredients which have a emotion or some form of symbolism attached to them, flowers are good for this since they each have a emotion associated with them which increases the desired emotion you want from it or if you are making a talisman out of jewelry then it is best to rub a oil of the flower or an extract on it, if you are making a talisman which is associated with a deity then it is better to use certain forms of symbolism which represent them, a talisman of Epona would have something associated with horses or you can engrave the name of that deity onto the talisman if you wish, a talisman of a star like for example Mercury would have it's symbol.
Basically the more symbolism a talisman has the better the result.

Introducing an updated sigil of our new host

Some anons will be using DMT to convene in hyperspace where they will have more influence, while the rest will be entering into a meditative state for the recital of an as of yet undetermined mantra to aid the endeavor.

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.

It's time again, fillies and gentlecolts!
The long(?) anticipated(?) return/continuation of the gay bathouse Mixed Nuts game.
This edition of the game will commence sometime around mid November, and will exclusively function via 5th edition.
Characters will be required to play (mostly) good characters, and the starting level will likely be 5.
Supplements are allowed with permission, otherwise we'll stick to the core 3 books (players handbook, dms guide, and monster's manual).
The setting is Wildemount (re: the explorers guide) but beyond setting, Wildemount rules still require permission.
It is worth noting that there will be two operating parties. The first will be the online/board group, who will be playing the hero/protagonist group, infiltrating a conquered and occupied continent. The second - the irl group - will play antagonists tasked with thwarting the online group/party.
So, calling all /vx/ RP gamers, I'm looking for players. Preferably 4-6, but if more are interested we can scale things as necessary. Instances of PvP WILL occurr, but will be the exception rather than the rule.
Feel free to field all questions ITT, theres still ~3 months to prepare.
NOTE: All characters will be entirely new. Cameos may occurr, but no characters from the Mixed Nuts will be active in this game, even though there is a bit of storyline continuity to occurr.

Well Courtney Love wont be appearing, so on the off chance there is a black powder weapon, he should be safe Xp
Something I would like to mention is that the two-party system will not favor either party. Both groups will experience a story of intrigue, manipulation, cat-and-mouse-shit (in both directions), and a wealth of other dynamics, and how they go about responding to the situation is up to them.

I appreciate the sentiment, but the lore is beyond lore, and even those who have pieces of info dont know the full story. If I cant work it in, I'll probably do an aftermath prologue or some shit

Would anybody be willing to play Red Hand Of Doom if I ran it off this board?
One of the games I've been looking forward to playing has been cancelled, so I might have some extra free time in the next upcoming months, and I feel like running one of the adventures I have downloaded.
RoHD is a mid level adventure module that could be finished in a few weeks or a few months, depending on how well it can be organized. I'd be running it with third edition rules, with a few PF1e imports, using this board for logkeeping and dialogue, and perhaps using discord for voicechat or Roll20 for battlemaps, depending on who's playing.
That all depends on whether I can find players who would be enthusiastic though. I'm just looking to see if anyone on this server is interested enough for me to do it on here.

While the rest of the party heals up and recovers from the hydra encounter (I'm assuming you breath for just a few minutes), Jorr appears to be cutting off chunks of the hydra's carcass and tossing them to his dogs.
He eventually makes his way over to remains of the wagon, lifting it up with a heroic strength check and revealing the partial skeletons of what Jorr declares to be goblinoids, wearing ruined ruined remains of their armor. One shiny bit stands out though.
"~Heeey!" the woodsman says with a smile, yanking off what appears to be a still-shiny breastplate from a goblin champion.
"Mithril, if I'm right. Good stuff." He says, placing the fancy piece on the bridge

Jorr offers to lead the way for the party for the rest of the way until Vraath Keep (unless anyone else objects to the scout doing the scouting), which he says he hopes should be just one or two days away.
It's currently 11-12-ish, right after the hydra fight.
I encourage any of you to discuss potential plans in dialogue between sessions. We'll play Friday or even this weekend, and maybe actually get through a good portion of the game, Pelor help us.
