Torcuil has spent the last spent the last hour at a fever pitch of activity, grabbing books, discarding them, shuffling papers, analyzing diagrams,... he knows he's on the verge of something, and something big. Tracy continues to try and vie for Trump's attention with a variety of methods. Let's not forget that Trump is a 6'2" human, and Tracy is,... what, 3'6" standing upright? Thez has fallen asleep in her zombie-bath, and dusk approaches.
Oh yeah, this is the Tabletop Gaming continuation thread from
https://mlpol.net/vx/res/20.html if ya didn't know. Pull up a chair! New players are always welcome.

>>1733DISREGARD THAT MEANINGLESS ROLL!!!
[1d20 = 1]>>1731Uh... Okay
Trump readies his shield and pony shield
[2d100 = 157]
Not a floodpost
[1d20 = 8]>>1735Trump sees the hydra, and immediately recognizes what it is.
"I've seen these before."
Trump Challenges the Hydra on its positions on open borders, and demands to know if it truly loves Equestria
>>1738Kek
Torc decides to step on sneks tail to try and slightly immobilize it
>>1735Without deliberately intending to, Trump grabs Tracy by the pussy. The two are momentarily stunned by what has just occurred,... but neither moves away (meaning, still haz by pussy).
Meanwhile, two of the hydra's heads latch onto giga-Torcuil
That was for those 1s u rolled. Otherwise yes, Trump is bombastically posturing toward the Hydra
Trump moves his hand away quickly and wipes it on Tracy's coat
[1d20 = 15]*shudders unconrollably*
>>1743If 20, I clamp down so you can't escape.
>Tracy's like: Flashy k-kun?
Giga-Torc wrestles with the Hydra, failing to pin it down. Its remaining heads join into the grappel, and Torc is now bleeding alarmingly.
[2d20 = 11]>>1746You are unable to successfully strike the hydra with either hand. It is basically trying to hold you still until you bleed out, which you're doing.
[1d20 = 8]
>legs shaky from "surprise"
*Looks over at fight*
"sh-should I cut them?"
"Alright chums, lets do this"
Thez says streaking back into the fray after a moment.
In a spinning double-kick, she whonks 2 of the heads off of Torcuil. Also, she doesn't fall to the ground, she's just kinda standing there,... in the air,.... O_o
>>1749I gtg so lets just say I go into a coma
Peace dellas see ya latter
>>1745You may go ahead and consider Tracy as stuck in this pose
>>1755>>1754What a nice place to end for the week.
Good night, fellas!
>>1752For illiteration purposes, here's where I went with it.
When you summoned crusader pepe, it worked. He was an awkward-looking frog in crusader attire, clearly not fitting the context, so that is what was summoned.
When you attempted to step on snek, it worked cuz snek was the hydra though it did no damage. When you said "this is expressly... " was when the meme magic started to spark. In that moment Torcuil (who was attempting to meme) was about to get eated by a much larger creature. He was, in a word, about to get stepped on by snek. Having successfully stepped previously, and to be stepped on, was expressly not what he asked for. So then, the Game decided that if he was the same size as snek, then neither he could step on nor could he be stepped upon.
>>1743>>1745>>1752I thank you three for the first and now the second time. Running something like this over an imageboard is an experiment in ingenuity and creativity, and I have had more fun doing so than I could ever have anticipated or planned. I'll throw out details and descriptive factoids throughout the week, but I look forward to doing this again next week.
Warning though, the mobs r gonna get harder.
Continuing wrt Torcuil
When contemplating memes, consider the complexity of the meme. An epic pepe meme might work in a specified context, but something more basic works equally well. "No u" for example, is what I'm pretty much going with for "magic missile". Similarly, I'm running with Pence as being the icon of electricity.
Lets say you wanted to cast fireball.
>This dude is on fiiirrrreeeeee
Or you wanted to freeze your opponent
>Let it go, let it go, can't
Or you wanted to confuse or befuddle your opponent
>Im gender non-binary, my pronous r Hibbity and Hooblah
Create with the meme the idea you're looking to create in the Game.
'No step on snek' doesn't work well when squaring off with snek. Xp
>OP wanders in to review the thread. Thez is still dangling in midair.
T"So like, can I come down now?"
O"Yes, but you have to go back there before gaming begins again."
T"K!"
>Thez whoofs over to where he is. He reviews the posts in reverse-order.
T"I think you could do a better job," she criticizes.
O"Thats the idea. Its difficult translating lit. volumes of game mechanics and stuffing them through an anonboard. Its forcing me to refine my thinking. I'm getting better though and with each passing session I eliminate more unnecessary minutia," he sips his coffee. "On the plus side I spoke to Nathan, and he's given me permission to use Slag for a while."
T"SLAG is gonna play?" claps her hands excitedly, and then turns toward the camera. "Don't worry, you'll like him! He kills things, and sometimes he revives them just to kill them again. So what's that mean for the giants?"
O"Well, they're dead already and the Hydra is about to get gang-raped anyway. Besides, don't act like you're not going to make oversized chess pieces out of their teeth."
>Thez smiles a big toothy grin and giggles.
>OP continues to click away, comparing notes, stats, etc.
T"Um, since the Game reset, do I still have my record contract?"
O"No."
T"... But I might still get it back?"
O<sigh>
Basically, just me reviewing the thread and finding I can't literally advance the story because of where it ended, but working all the while to advance and develop the story in whatever way possible. Also, Thez was getting stiff.
>she's stretching right now.
>>1780Greetings, fellow gator.
Was the power out for that long?
>>17815 am Monday till 10 am Today.

>>1786Mmmmaaaaaaaaayyyybbbbeeee

>>1788Nah, just a friendly phonetic alphabet war
Also chekd'
Are we gonna have another cinematic period?
>>1790Of course, but I won't be available until after 10:30pst, I hope that's ok.
>>1792If it's just comfy cinematic mode, it can be any time.
>>1793Well, comfy in the sense that you won't die and the apparent threat is not really or lastingly a threat and can be illustrated in almost a dice-dependent green-text, yes. It will be spectacular though. ^_~
Alright, I'm a saucin' and I'm a writin'
>>1795Even with the very high temporary bump limit it's almost hit
