/vx/ - Videogames and Paranormal

Infernius gets a crash-course in hitting glowing metal things with other metal things, and can be said to gain some proficiency in weapon-smithing, armorer, and crafting metal. He needs a good roll to make masterwork shit, though.
Torcuil has spent a great deal of time referencing and researching books. Lenos' suggestion about magic sent him in a frenzy from which he has unlocked the ability to cast the full range (divine and arcane) spells,... except not by name, only by meme.
As these developments finalize is when Thez' letter comes through. Initially it was intended to fill in details that I forgot to mention as well as to slightly color the developing story. Also to emphasize the difference in other-plane time-frames in reference to this plane's

>>11880
In subjects of alchemy, how many potions does Tracy have time to craft?
Also, can she get an armor plate to protect her middle/torso?

Do I receive extra points for visiting the Holy Site of my Patron Deity?

>>11882
Plz tell me you are actually there

>>11877
Huzzah! Also I've spent time with weapons training, which should build relevant proficiency, (mostly this is him teaching others; I'm not sure if that does less or involves charisma) and also playing/teaching Football, which should help with strength and religion

>>11883
I was on Tuesday

Throughout the entirety of time, a few things have been learned about the surroundings, the context, etc.
1. Sechs knows alot. He gladly details that the city of Cardishore is a giant talent-show city geared to exploit helping individuals with talent to get the respect, glory, fame, and wealth they should achieve, and that no one who has ever stood in line has ever been noticed. Cardishore is a metaphor for social media and platforms. You're welcome to stand in line if you must.
Sparintinar (I think that's what it is) is a highly efficient, mostly keeping to themselves but allowing outsiders in, industrial technological city of advanced ability. They do not ally with anyone, are notoriously brutal with troublemakers, but just wanna do their thing, have some fun, and not die in the process.
Krenshall is a special place where no one speaks right and everyone is a genius in some way and fuggin nuts in most others. Don't expect anything other than a wealth of ideas from there.
Oh, there's a town south of the initial ring-walled area. That place is populated by individuals who believe that everything should be shared equally, that the collective is prior to any individual, and that grey is fashionably suitable.

>>11885
You lucky ass bastard

So, what are we doing tonight?
Boss?
Training?
Wedding for the happy couple?

>>11885
>>11882
What day is the Sabbath of your faith?

2. There is a statue of His Imminence John Elway in the tower that speaks into players' minds and provides explanations and detail that no character can provide. Forgot that bit didn't ya.
3. That the developing infrastructure of Port Barry is set in motion. Individual directives will take requisite time, but by and large the machine is now self-sustaining and growing in the desired directions. Players need not micro-manage, they can direct and delegate.

>>11889
>provides explanations and detail that no character can provide.
I remembered that it could heal and speak, but what guidance can it provide?
>tfw you've been intentionally avoiding the shrine, because you were afraid it would instantly vaporize a divegrass player

In the process of crafting potions (she can have 3) Tracy realizes that something doesn't add up with regard to the merchant in Pip. She can't put her hoof on it, but the way he dismissed her being a talking pony, his professed lack of knowledge about Cardishore even though its a huge city/event thats only like 10 miles away, something just doesn't pass the sniff test.

>>11890
Ask

>>11888
I would presume Sunday, since it is the biggest Football night (of course, Trumpaladin is USFL rite and not NFL rite, which I think changes the playing season, I think from the Fall to the Spring. Maybe it changes the days of the week as well).

>>11890
>it would instantly vaporize a dive grass player
Yes it would. If you need to go to confession, please go to the ticket booth at the Stadium

>>11891
Can I fast-travel there?
Also
>dimeterium bombs (because fuck mages!)
>Magic Vestment +5
>Undetectable alignment
>>11894
Stop trying to decide the game meta.

>>11895
Who here has Elway as a primary Deity besides me?

>>11895
Yes, and you will. I imagine upon reasoning this Tracy will have many questions for good shopkeeper.
Also in the intervening period came a slightly awkward therapy session where characters hashed out their most glaring differences. I saw no objection to the accord that they be honest with one another if not those who they interact (meaning non-players) and so I will state that the accord was made, if not with reservation.
>>11896
"Ooooh! I do!"

>>11896
My deity is Kek

>>11898
Elway is Kek, Elway is all Footballs and Football. You will learn

>>11895
Keep your alignment open, or the deal is off

Also I can't play for a few hours

>>11900
K. I don't know that everyone is available yet anyway. I'm just lengthily dumping the variety of stuff thats happened for the time being; its still cinematic

>>11896
Tracy praises Epona for giving her a foal.
>>11900
ok
Switch that to Good Hope.

With the requisite rebuilding of the Port, a variety of tradesmen and artisans (structural, agricultural, even aquatic) have ventured to the port. The overall labor pool has increased in both size and competence, and the traffic to/from the port (by land and sea) has increased dramatically. The farmer's market in the square, once a local-exclusive event - now draws large crowds from many demographics. What was once a simple assortment of grown vegetables has developed into a bazaar of goods and trades, large and small.
Good Hope = Neutral Good

In her research and inquiry, Tracy learns that this realm does not have an assassin's guild to speak of. While individual assassins exist, there is no organization to speak of. Ultimately it seems that in order for her to become an assassin (its almost like GM is being persnickety) she has to complete a very lengthy task that he's going to iterate shortly.

>>11902
Very good, Mrs. Sentry.

Throughout this all, Sad Alex watches as stuff goes on without him. He feels alone, absent/apart, and utterly aside. His only repreive comes from Ryuk. He also gets a letter from Ponimaru btw, but it is only pic related. He is certain there is some sort of message, but can't quite figure out what.

>>11904
>this realm does not have an assassin's guild
Imma' make my own guild, with blackjack and hookers.
*reads all the books on assasins and guild-making*

>>11907
Like I didn't know you were gonna say that. In order to establish a guild, you will need a high profile target though,....
Tracy receives another notice from Thez.
"Hey. Pretend this was included in one of the others okay? I wouldn't want my faggot to have an aneurism trying to figure out where in the timeframes this occurred. But, if you really want to kill a guy and make a spectacle, there is JUST such a guy. I don't know exactly what he's calling himself these days, but I do know he's established himself as a bit of an Emperor. His city lies far to the north-east, and he used to go by the name "Kefka Palazzo", so 'emperor Palazzo' or 'Lord Kefka' should reveal desirable information. Kill him, make a spectacle of it, and you'll get more than ranks in assassin."
>t. Thez

>>11907
I,... is that,... Akuma Tracy?!
"Shut up faggot!"

>>11909
We Akuma nao

>>11910
Shooooosh!

>>11911
Nice pali

>>11908
Do all characters know this because it was in the original letter?

>>11913
No, that was a character-specific mention to Tracy, though she would do well to mention it around Lenos.

>>11914
K

>>11914
Has Tracy left for the road yet?
*mentions it to Lenos as she thanks him for the weapon*

>>11917
I assume she hasn't

Trump meanwhile discovers that Sugoito - in spite of balance and proficiency issues (its almost like it was not intended to be a weapon, or the weapon it is was intended to be another weapon entirely) breaks things quite readily. Given its attack damage and bonuses, the saw-blade side is not terribly effective, while the blunt side snaps things in half with one or two swings. If players are vaguely curious the geometry and theme are based largely off this video: https://youtu.be/CJrGA3J0nB8
>>11917
L> Oh fuck, that guy? She was always going on about him once. "That motherfucker" this, and "I'm gonna bathe with his intestines". Apparently he fucked her over back before I was brought to the game, and now he's some fancy big-wig now."
Well, I'd wait just a sec cuz she probably won't be going solo, unless she wants that expressly.

holy shit it took longer to catch up than i thought.

>>11920
HE LIVES

>>11920
Last-minute additions or corrections?

>>11922
i feed my dog but otherwise everyting seems fine.

>>11924
I like dogs

>>11923

>>11927
Doge is not for sexual

>>11926
Nice gif
>>11927
I WOULDN'T RPPE DOGGO

Shit

I gotta go for about an hour
Sorry

>>11932
Stop apologizing! We understand that playing this game is a luxury of time and effort, depending on sorted responsibilities and fulfilled obligations. "I gotta go for about an hour" is quite sufficient. ^_^

>>11933
hey gm there is something i want to do during the time skip.

"They've come a long way in a very short amount of time. I don't mind saying that,..."
Yes, its kind of surreal. They're already tackling their inner biases and realigning toward the 'prize'. It has been far more successful that I'd ever have wagered.
"I was going to say,..."
I know what you were 'going' to say, but if you SAY it, it ruins,... hold on.
>>11934
Yes of course.

>>11935
i want to form my own order of knights that act as a police force, think the Teutonic order.

>>11936
*clerical knight*

>>11936
With your reputation amongst the people (you were being observed during all your more or less than foolish chivalry) you wlll have little difficulty. I haven't rolled yet, but I can readily rule "More than one" answering to such a venture.

>>11938
same thing.

>>11940
I know, but this is religion: names matter.

>>11941
"Not really, technically...." Lenos is cut off as a haggard and worn-haired Torcuil clamps his hands around Lenos' mouth.

>>11905
Join us.

>>11939
so not one person wants to join?

brb in like 20 minutes.

>>11944
>>11945
What part of 'more than one' did you trollishly miss?

I LIVE

>>11947
Good thing you got back so soon.
>*yanks dull knife out of haggis*

>>11948
Y tho

>>11949
You were just a few minutes short of an hour: right on time.
I thought it was a running joke at this point.
>miss game night
>get >raped, and potentially eaten

>>11936
We have a Tuetonic order formed

Please, everyone is right on time.
"... IIITS CHRISTMAS TIME!!!
Thez screams out, not realizing the time-delay.
At this point, I'm ready to go. Story, character its all good.

>>11951
Tuetonic
>>11952
>tfw christmas decorations at walmart last week

>>11953
That's what I said

>>11952
Ready to kill shit.
>>11953
Goddamn consumerist kikes want to sell their shit to Mr. and Mrs. Goyim as early as possible.

>>11953
Sorry, was a movie-nite reference. Thez and I r watching. Its a classic.

>>11956
Whats the movie?

>>11957
Rule 11 faggot!

>>11958
Nightmare Before Christmas. Sorry, bully is my first instinct

>>11958
>>11959
NP

Can we get a move on? It's 11:00 where I am, and I want to kill something tonight.
>>11961
*puts away BBQ tools*

>>11962
reee im not just a piece of meat.

>>11963
It's just the hormones. We're cool.

>>11962
Except for inserts, this cant be accommodated. Rest unabashedly. Thank you for your time, I hadn't expected progress tonight.

>>11965
>no killing tonight
Oh.. okay...
[Disappointed bloodthirsty pony noises]
Still ready to play though.

>>11966
She'll be fine. I'll be up early, and its first come first serve, progressively. ^_~

>>11967
Are we still doing cinematic mode?

>>11966
Pets pony

Offers sugar sugar cube

>>11968
Yes, within reason until everyone is present, with exception 4 vlad(torc)

>>11969
*graciously laps up sugar cube*
*brushes against leg affectionately*
[loving pony noises]

>wants to inquire about lewd-sensoring
>doesn't want to interrupt
Uhm, nothing. Carry on

>>11970
I've been here
Waiting

>>11973
I know that, and appreciate it. Could I ask a general timeframe so I can fit it into PST (a window so to speak)? I don't want to exclude or differentiate, and Torcuil is a favorite of mine (and her's).

>>11973
I shall declare "Game on" in a manner which is more considerate of your timing. This is wrote.

>>11972
RP's should always have 12% loods minimum.

>>11976
this.

>>11974
Who is (((her)))?
Um,
I'm usally on 9pm to 12-1am EST
>>11976
Sadly mobile post so no loods

>>11978
