Okay, everycreature on the plane. We've got ponies to rescue

Thank you, I feel much better

Well, as I said, it wasn't actually you who prompted the pushback
But an excellent example of where it matters is with Tin Hat here, where she "seduced" Tin Hat. One interpretation of that is that she just pulled a Rarity, and gave bedroom eyes to Tin Hat in hopes it would manipulate him into giving her magic items. The other interpretation is that yes, she is seriously willing to put her body on the line and take this random stallion inside and spend the last 10 minutes before boarding the plane being mounted... so she can manipulate him into giving her into magical items. The former is perfectly valid, but we literally see it happen in episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic on multiple occasions. The second... is very interesting
>>179328
Explicit ERP is more fun though

It was either, but I also didn't want to distract the party from their quest with 300 posts of cancer, so probably just the former.

Explicit RP makes the experience more raw and "live". Unfortunately, that's expressly the part I personally don't want to with dudes.

>If my behavior isn't appropriate for your game, don't hesitate to just throw me out of it; although i'd prefer to try to work it out. Please don't punish the other players because of me though.
That's magnanimous of you, but you're a good player and any hurdles we encounter seem to be overcome simply by communication.
>Well, I did pay two character levels for that charm ability, so I really wouldn't like it to be nerfed.
I don't either, but reducing DC by so much, very reliably, is much more powerful in terms of persuasion than any other PC is capable of doing right now. I understand that Posey essentially brute-forces her diplomatic targets, having very little tact and instead putting them under a spell and whoring herself out. Other characters ought to be able to notice just what she's doing. We could even make it a DC 20 check for them, and it would still make it riskier to attempt it in a crowded room or in the presence of a skilled mage. Getting another pony alone would make it work just as well. It's just a suggestion.
>>179328
So fade to black is okay in terms of romance? By OC NPCs do you mean those made by you specifically, or does any NPC made by the DM count?

I'm ready if you are, unless if you want to talk more about the merits of advanced diplomacy mechanics as a homebrew.

>I understand that Posey essentially brute-forces her diplomatic targets
Yes, actually. Rosey Ring is based on the white horse of Conquest. For her entire life, she's only ever known a would of masters and slaves, so she only knows how to make relationships through power and fear. Thus, she has no ranks in Diplomacy, only Intimidation and Bluff
(She could use some friendship lessons. Dread Necromancer only requires being non-good)
>Other characters ought to be able to notice just what she's doing. We could even make it a DC 20 check for them, and it would still make it riskier to attempt it in a crowded room or in the presence of a skilled mage.
You can already make a Sense Motive check to see if a person has been charmed.

Personally/strictly speaking, I have issue with fapping to GM's sockpuppets
I am well capable of creating my own. Instead I would prefer to peruse the fandom and insert as desired, pun intended. UWU
I'm a furry, I can get away with saying that Xp
And yes, Lucky is still getting it tonight

Cavaliere doesn't have the best perspective to view the city, but if he wishes to find signs of restriction, he can find at least some.
As the plane landed, Garv could see a few armored cars, and the hints of barricades in the streets. In faraway Haystin, two small streams of black smoke from what must be smoldering, mostly extinguished fires.
If he's looking for something a bit closer, he can find it. Peering into hangers or the armory, and looking at the breakroom, he can find posters.
One is one he thinks he may have seen before, which shows an intoxicated green stallion in a uniform at a booth in a restaurant with a bar behind. He leans over the table with a stupefied lovey dubby expression, and makes muzzle contact with a cream-colored unicorn mare who has lidded green eyes, a satisfied smile, and a red dress. Beneath the table, and in what is exposed from the dress, the cream coat meets a bright green line where it becomes black with a sickly insectoid belly and legs with see-through holes.
Another one shows a wooden theatrical stage with two ponies in the spot light. One is a light-purple/pink unicorn mare with a with a curled dark purple mane with a light blue stripe. She carries a purple book with a golden horseshoe. The other is a blue unicorn mare with a light blue mane. Both ponies, however, are blatantly wooden marionettes with fake cheeks and visible strings going upwards. In the shadows above the stage, on the left, is a dark black figure, evidently a changeling, with bright green eyes and a flowing dark blue mane. On the other side is a red... fishlike creature, presumably a seapony, with a big green cap, who controls the blue mare.
The most impressive Poster, however, certainly in terms of sheer size, is outside and on a building (evidently offices) near a hanger. Its edges are visible damaged, and it is worn down. It presents a map of the world in caricature with the oceans reduced in size and zoomed in somewhat on the center. Manehattan is marked with a star and a cartoonish portrayal of buildings. The Manehattan District is shown in outline, as are all of the districts of East Equestria. Next to it are four ponies. On the left and looking to the east, an earth pony with a rifle and bayonet. On the right, a Unicorn looking across the ocean with a glowing horn. Above, as if soaring, a pink-tinted outline of a pegasus. Below that, a head, hooves, and bat wings with a wrench in her mouth. To the left is a cartoon portrayal of Queen Chrysalis with the glowing eyes of numerous drones behind her, with a dreary pony with a drooping mane in West Equestria, and the same in the form of a crystal pony in the Crystal Empire. Above Equestria, an oddly effeminate looking stallion in red uniform reaches out with stretched legs towards the named "White Severyana." A pony with a feathered cap pulls a plow in the South East and another looks on next to a ship in Puerto Caballo. A hippogriff laughs Maniacally in Aris, while in New Mareland, a Unicorn Pony stands with a rifle against Beakolini, who is very fat and smoking his cigar. In Aquelia, a red grififn with a maniacal look stands in a set of flames, and stares back at the unicorn across the ocean. In Gryphus, a pony stands over a griffin laying on the ground, and stretches out a hoof. The remainer of the world is not depicted, with the Riverlands, the polar north, and the great majority of Zebrica being outright cut off. Below is the Text "PONYKIND STANDS UNITED"
What is, or at least ought to surprise perhaps Garv, and certainly Silver if he saw it, is that these posters are not signed with the name of the Blackhooves, or the more formal name of the Fascist Republican Party of New Mareland. Rather, all three posters are signed as from the "Pony Populist Party of Manehattan."

The Pony Populist Party has some history pre-war as a local political party in the areas around Manehattan and Canterlot, but its breakthrough has been in the political reorganization of the Manehattan District that happened after the assassination of the former governor, mass resignation of the political class of Manehattan, and then the failed crackdown on the ELF and crime in the district. The Pony Populist Party is enthusiastically pro-New Mareland Administration, anti-banker and upper class, pro-worker, and anti-immigration, with a more racial bend even than most of the rightwing parties in Equestria and New Mareland. They are reasonably popular, if far from uncontroversial. The Blackhooves are oddly content to let them do whatever they want, and funnel resources into them.
>>179349
In fairness, neither is any of the Riverlands, or even Maregypt.
>>179350
It's.... probably a populist party for ponies.

"Useful fools, kept around as a barking threat by the Blackhooves…." he mutters to himself.
He wonders if the other pre-war parties of Equestria, forced underground, have largely united under the mysterious ELF.

>>179353
To be fair, virtually every other option either got murdered, resigned because they didn't want to cooperate with the Blackhooves in any capacity, got caught with their secretaries, or bungled a crackdown on organized crime.

Okay, well, that's something for later then. Posey put on her special cocktail dress and tried to charm him as an icebreaker.
And I thought I was being nice to Mason. I like Mason. Posey likes Mason. Mason is cool.
Would you believe it that a brony doesn't know how flirting works?
>To be fair, virtually every other option either got murdered, resigned because they didn't want to cooperate with the Blackhooves in any capacity, got caught with their secretaries, or bungled a crackdown on organized crime.

Based on my adventure with August Wreath, it appears so.
It's probable that many of them were guilds and knighthoods loyal to the princesses, so freeing the princesses would be their priority.

Also don't think Kira didn't notice that Posey didn't ask anything more about lamias, such as the different varieties or their varied abilities. If Posey is planning on doing anything lamia-related, it may be useful to learn more about them sometime.

Dust looks at the posters, seemingly unimpressed while he waits for the group to head to the plane.
"Ponykind stands united?
Are you all not of the same tribe?
Do these feelings have to be ignited?
To love your kind, does it take a bribe?
I know equestria views us as lesser
But to come together, we do not need pressure"
With that, he plods off again, seeing if there's any propaganda worth falling for

D'aww I seriously thought she didn't care for him. She did outright deep throat him, but that was combined with an intimidation roll and in context felt hostile, if anything

Silver joins the zeeb in his plodding. "We are all ponies, but we are not all of same tribe. Not even Equestria is of same tribe. Point of Equestria was for all of us different ponies and other creatures no matter our tribe to work together for greater purpose, to put our differences to use and join together in friendship and Harmony because we all at heart want what is best. Those 3P nutjobs, they claim to want similar thing, but I know they do not understand. Not really."

Kira especially seems to have trouble getting back to her spot in the plane back near cargo, with her slithering rigorously without getting any traction on the wet metal floor of the plane.

In Zebrica we are all bound by the stripe.
Perhaps Equestrian ways I shall come to see
But for now I shall leave your ways to thee."

The zeeb listens to his plodding friend as they walk to the plane.
"I suppose what you say is completely fair,
I see that for your fellow ponies you do care.

Before Silver gets on the plane, he halts in his tracks. For a second he looks at the plane, before turning around to face a different direction, looking towards somewhere outside of the city. There he stays, staring in a direction that to anyone else watching would feel totally random, looking at nothing at all, his gaze locked onto something no one else can see. But he knows why he looks in this direction, what he can see. There he stays, transfixed in that spot, staring silently with the wind from the plane's propellers blowing in his mane, until someone disturbs him from his trance.
>>179369
The snek is quite heavy, 600 lbs. of heavy to be exact, but with the zeeb's help she is able to overcome the lack of friction and get back into her spot. She lets out a sigh of relief, and beams a bright smile at the friendly zeeb. "Thank you! I don't think I could have done that without you."

Mala stands next to Silver, and looks in the direction Silver looks, then back to Silver
>>179369
>>179366
Well technically the wet area is kind of in the middle of the plane, which Kira wouldn't have to move past if she stayed where she was before
>>179372

Sure. I've just been preoccupied with trying to get quests done.
I've been playing for a year and a half, but in game less than a week has passed.
Are we doing stuff tonight? I gotta decide if I'm going to take melatonin or a monster energy right now.

Without being disturbed, Silver just stands there, staring off in the distance. Mala, even with his keen eyesight, can't see what it is Silver is looking at. Either Silver has some truly incredible eyesight, or it's something he knows deep at heart. The expression on his face is entirely inscrutable just from the surface.
As for Kira, sure she could have stayed where she was, but she kinda enjoyed sitting at the back.
I would also like having interactions between Silver and Licorice/Mason. Also more interactions with Posey so Silver can teach her the meaning of friendship.

Dust smiles at Kira and nods at her
>>179372
He then turns around and walks over to Posey with a very stern expression on his face. He lifts a hoof and places it on her withers. He mutters something under his breath, and something in his pack glows a bit. Posey can feel a definite warmness resonating from the spot as Dust's eyes open and his expression softens a little.
"On this trip, I hope you feel better
And your sickness does not hold you like a fetter"
If she has to make any more saving throws for now, she has a +1 bonus from resistance
One word about muh spell slots or other looking a gift horse in the mouth and I'm changing it to a healing spell

Okay. Go ahead and do that without me. Posey is blinded and muzzled, with only a narrow field of vision to focus on her knitting. She is functionally removed from roleplay as she shuts out the world to prevent the failed godling in her chest cavity from throwing a hissey fit.

Cavaliere is frankly out of his element in a major city, especially one much larger than Baltimare. Without looking back, and with all his gear in tow, he boards the plane, eager to get underway. "Are you ready?" he asks the others.

With the ponies inside, the white Pegasus lifts the door and locks it. The plane powers up, and taxis to another runway. With a roar of its engines, it lifts off the ground and starts to rise. It does not, however, move to the right and north, but rather to the left, to the west and east. "We're not allowed to fly over the city anymore" the white pegasus pony says to the cabin. Looking over and back, the creatures can see big clouds rising in the distance, the large buildings piercing the sky, and the giant airship losely tethered to the top of a skyscraper, its nose angled into the wind and its propellers rotating.
Soon the plane rises and goes through a cloud layer, with some rain getting on the windows in the process. As the plane rises up, it turns to the right, north and east and around the city. Though a cloud blocks much of the view, the party can see the buildings of Manehattan through the breaks, the endless rowhouses of Bronclyn, and the tenement buildings of Haystin. They pass over the great river, and though the city legally ends, the industrial developments do not, and a large powerplant next to the river is joined by a great many factories, refineries, and a railyard, before breaking up into towns of smaller houses, and then eventually countryside.

Cavaliere speaking is enough to get Silver to snap out of his trance. He and Mala get on board, returning to their position by Kira. Kira and Silver begin conversing again about their respective cultures, sharing details and information with each other. Kira is certain she has learned more about Equestria just on these plane trips than she ever knew before in her life.
If Mala is freaked out again by the flight, Silver and Kira work together to help keep him calm.

After Mala gets on the plane, he lingers around Kira as if waiting for the right moment. But that moment does not come. With Silver and Kira chatting, after the plane takes off, Mala lays flat on the bench-like seats and digs his claws into them.
>>179384
"Um... Yeah... Yeah, a little bit. There's a lot of fog sometimes and it makes the very tall buildings very hard to see, especially at nighttime. It's more for landing, and really the rule technically applies to Idlewild, but it's applied to us here too. Landings have to be done from over the water, and takeoffs to the west and south, depending on the winds."

>"Does that have anything to do with your 'fear magic'?"
Rosey Ring shakes her head.
"No... well, only what got me through the door. Fear Magic is just another way to use blackweave (negative energy). Instead of using entropy to attack the body and cause illness or injury, dread magic attacks the mind and spirit. It's not charm or compulsion, we just... squeeze the heart a little bit, to invoke primal fear." she explains
"... Some ponies would consider such magic to be 'villainous', but as far as I'm concerned, it's the most merciful kind of magic. By proving the powerlessness of our adversaries and making them surrender or flee, we can prevent further bloodshed. Far less villainous than burning them with beams of light or turning them into frogs like some other unicorns do, if you ask me." She says
"The ominous aura emitted by my curse gave me a natural talent for fear based magic. It's why my master took interest in me, and how I got where I am toda- hrrk!" she refastens her muzzle and closes her blinders

Rosey Ring gives Mala another bone to chew on, to calm him down for the flight.

On the subject of firearm proficiency, well that is something that could be homebrewed to death, so I'm titling this:
Why It Makes Sense to Have Proficiency
For the record, Brie does not have firearm proficiency, but he does carry a firearm. This is because while he isn't specifically trained and drilled as one with a military background would (so he would take a -4, even though,...) which is pffset by his BAB, and relevant skill (dex). Lack of proficiency doesn't mean incompetence, it simply means the person is somewhere between novice and amateur.
Firearms it seems would fall under a Special Martial Proficiency: Firearms fest and would naturally accompany several background types.
One can have/be training with firearms; decent groups, reload times, etc, but couldnt be expected to take apart/reassemble it especially under fire. Decent, but not proficient. Over here we have the guy who can take it apart and reassemble with a timer, and gets 1" groupings; hes proficient.

Or we could just say that guns are common enough in this mileau that all heroes get them, and not worry about proficiency. Pretty sure that's what GM has been doing. It's low-key MTP, but who cares?
I said Rosey Ring doesn't use guns because she's from the Dread League, which is uniquely low tech. I also tend to make up imaginary restrictions that only I have to follow as an obstacle to be overcome with my characters (people call me a power gamer, but pros have standards). Since Rosey Ring is a vestige from another age, she only uses medieval tech.

One could say that guns are prolific enough - at least in most of the states - that most anyone could pick it up and shoot it, sure and that would carry over to OE. That is why a firearm would be usable by someone not proficient. But when it comes to accuracy and consistency - which the -4 modifier is a reflection of - there is still a huge set of small details of firearm proficiency that have to be learned (and consistently reaffirmed) through drills and courses that separate an average joe from a professional, which weapon feats imply to convey.

The way DnD Modern handles it is having multiple levels of firearm proficiency that apply to different weapons, with Personal Firearms Proficiency (applying to handguns and rifles) being the basic level. Automatic fire has additional -4 modifier if you lack Advanced Firearms Proficiency, and more for advanced tactics or other weapons. In a modern setting, bows and swords are uncommon and they require an Archaic Weapons Proficiency (presumably Silver, Iron, Kira and Posey have this) to use without a negative modifer.
>>179394
>Or we could just say that guns are common enough in this mileau that all heroes get them, and not worry about proficiency.
They aren't that common in civilian life. New Mareland, and many other states in the setting, have strict gun control, so if a PC is not of military/police background, doesn't have a life in the Underworld, isn't uniquely rural, or is a barbarian, then he or she might never have used a gun before. A -4 modifier isn't terrible, but definitely makes a difference in extended or repeated combat.

The idea of a tiered proficiency seems like a decent compromise, whether in form of ascending ranks or in a decrease in penalty. Having proficiency categories as feats was a mistake for 3.5e, and having to use a feat to remove a -4 is kinda ass imo

Turning north and west, two thirds of the remainder of the journey is over land. As the great industrial city fades further and further from view, the sight is replaced by endless plowed fields and dormant winter wheat. The plane now flies over the ancient lands of Old Equestria, a place first settled by the Unicorn Race back in the days of Unicornia, and which has scarce changed much since. They fly over the old lands of Algonquin with its quaint, gambrel-roofed villages and ancient chapels with tall, sun-adorned steeples, and past hills covered in rowed orchards of apples and pears.
Into Prance, where sleepy villages cling to the edge of hardwood forests covered in snow, with bare brown branches and the walls and chimneys, smoke rising, of cottages peaking through the white. They pass grand chateaus in the middle of snow-covered fields and rowed orchards. But the plane turns to the east to try to avoid a vast cloud. All the same they fly right through one, and the plane shakes intensely, as if the sky itself is trying to through them out. Mala especially is terrified, though surely every creature is, save the two pilots.
By the time they fly Into Albion, the forests give way to rolling hills, often crested with small castles forgotten by the world and by time, and past older villages still and their little watermills on streams that are crossed by stone bridges. Into Mirage district, and the land becomes flat again with walled in pastures and fields and periodic patches of trees.

The antique land beneath may hold meaning to some, particularly Silver, who has executed contracts there, and Posey, who has heard the legends, or it may just be flyover country. All the same, the lower portion of the horizon turns blue as the plane passes from land to water, passing a pair of small fishing villages as it does so, and over tiny sailing vessels. Now beneath is blue ocean and a thinning of the persistent clouds. The plane turns North.
Soon, there are large islands with smaller mountains coated in green, brown and white. The plane turns westward following a chain of islands of rolling snow-covered hills that are periodically capped in deteriorating castle ruins, mountains that break with bare, grey granite surfaces, grass dead and alive on areas of plains, and many small stone villages.
Soon enough, they come to a much larger landmass with rolling hills and plains and miles and miles of beach, which the plane more or less follows. Villages dot the coastline, and inland along the planes and rolling hills, the landscape is divided by low stone walls into many smaller padlocks. At this height, it almost looks like so many cell walls in a plant stem under the microscope, were the brown and green covered in part by white. The clouds thicken, and the plane banks to turn south, then east, and then north, turning in a sickle pattern.
Below now are dense brick apartment buildings with sets of four chimneys together that spew light smoke. There are the great rising smokestacks of larger factories, and beyond the rows and rows of brick buildings, cranes of a freightyard in the harbor, and massive drydocks with unfinished ships, as well as great buildings on the land with cranes and the bare skeletons of merchant ships under construction. The plane goes through a cloud and the view becomes white, before going beneath the cloud into snow. The plane touches down and lands on a runway less complete than the one before, and with buildings and water in the distance.
The pilot comes back
"Alright, there's a seaplane waiting for you. It's a short walk."

Mala looks up towards Silver.
"Uh..." He says to Kira
When Kira speaks to him, he looks at Silver, sitting nearby, then over to Posey, presumably nearby, and at Defiant Dust, presumably nearby. Then he looks back to Kira. "Nevermind."

"Alright, there's a seaplane waiting for you. It's a short walk."
>>179402
Mala looks up towards Silver.
"Uh..." He says to Kira
When Kira speaks to him, he looks at Silver, sitting nearby, then over to Posey, presumably nearby, and at Defiant Dust, presumably nearby. Then he looks back to Kira. "Nevermind."
>>179403
The Pilot is willing to lead them down a little pathway that takes them through a gap in the buildings, and to a small harbor.
There they see it - the sea plane. It's a rather large plane on its own, around about the size of the Skytrotter. It has a straight wing with two propeller-attached engines that is mounted on a pylon above the fuselage, and the fuselage and two pontoons float in the water. The cockpit windows are high on the nose, and in the rear is a bulbous glass "blister" for a gun port extending from the fuselage. There is an open door to access it at the end of a pier.
"Get in, they are waiting."

Silver indeed holds some meaning in the antique land, not just for the jobs he's done in the area but also for what is nearby. When the plane stops and the door is opened, Silver steps out, breathing in the cold winter air deeply and letting it out with a sigh. Even if the air has been flavored with the smoke and detritus of industry, Silver can still smell the North underneath it all. His floofy winter coat seems to have floofed up even more in reaction to the cold temperatures. As for Kira, she smiles some more at Mala before replying.
Kira: "Why nevermind? Are you waiting for the perfect moment to ask me? I'm sure the question is fine to ask, whatever it is. If you don't ask it then, you know, maybe you'll forget what the question was, or the moment will pass and you'll lose your chance to ask. It's like when you're out hunting; we all want that perfect shot, with a clean sight of your target, close enough that you're guaranteed to hit, with the wind blowing ever so slightly towards you so your scent doesn't reach the prey without being so strong they become spooked...but it often never comes, and you just have to take the shot that you're given and pray that your arrow finds its mark."

The interior of this plane is much more cramped, and the creatures will have to move closer together. The pilot of the Skytrotter comes in, though another pony, a black pegasus, seems to be in control here. The ponies explain,
"The plane is to fly close to the Island, and lower in speed, and you can get out on small dinghies. We can land, if need be, but you'll almost certainly need to row the last few feet."
If any player wants their character to do anything at any point in the last few posts like inside of the plane or as they are landing or what have you, you can post it. We can address it before moving on.
>>179405
Mala looks away, and says
"No. No, I'll remember."
Then he looks back to her and says,
"You would hunt?"
If this is answered, he tilts his head
"You don't live in a city? What is it like? The wild, I mean."

This description is very charming.
"What does VAR stand for?" Cavaliere asks on the plane, and "Where have we landed?" when the pilot has spoken to them.
He does not take any more time though. The weather is perceptibly chillier than it was in Baltimare and Manehattan, and it being the coast likely has a wind factor as well. He boards the plane, and while he helps Posey to her seat (assuming she still has blinders on) he does not sit next to her.
>>179406
"Where are the dinghies stowed?" he asks the pilot.

Kira: "No, I do...well, did live in a city. Dhamaji. But I also spent a lot of time out in the wilds as well, fending for myself. It's just part of the training process for becoming a hunter, learning to survive in the wilderness. The survival stuff is easy, it's basically all general-knowledge stuff like having a clean source of fresh water and knowing how to build your own fire. The hard stuff is the loneliness. Like, the solitude and isolation helps with getting an appreciation for nature, both its beauty and its danger, but...you really miss having friends when you're out there on your own...
"Oh, but yeah, I would hunt for food sometimes, not just for myself but for the tribe as well. Hunting isn't enough to sustain our entire population and animal husbandry and agriculture are a lot more effective at producing food, so it's really more of a thing we do to support our food production and diets."

Posey is from Magehold, which is still medieval tech and ruled by centuries-old undead wizards. She's never heard of plastic. She's still not even sure how electricity works.

Silver: "I am assuming we all are on same page our primary objective, but there is one thing I think we all need to talk about before we arrive at island: that freighter, specifically whether we are to attempt to board it to take or at least see what it is carrying, and whether we will do so quietly or loud."
>>179417
Silver: "It is new material made out of oil. It is easy to mold into whatever shape it is needed for. I think nylon fabric is actually type of plastic."

Nylon iirc was invented in the 70s. Plastics used in the 40s would have been stuff like Bakelite
>>179418
"We need to see what the enemy sailors are doing, how heavily the freighter is guarded, and whether there is an approach we can take. But, if possible, one or two of us should infiltrate it quietly. That would probably be myself and Brie, since we both have wings and will not be needed to treat the New Mareland pilots."

Yes

It isnt a sailor moon costume change. But it is a costume change, and no one sees it, so by schrodingers rules, its a sailor moon costume change,

Actually, it was invented in 1935, and was on the market by 1939
Kira: "Um...I can't fly, but I am really sneaky. I don't know how we would get to the boat though..."
Silver: "That part is simple. We will 'borrow' boats that marines used to land on island, and row our way to freighter."

Out of Character: Hi guys. My current status is trying to read the history document so I can understand what's going on better. I had it while making dinner a couple of days ago, but haven't been able to read it yet. I'm sitting down to read it now, then I'll try to find the last post I was in in the last thread.
Then, I expect to spend several hours writing up several mass reply posts to continue role-playing with the conversation and trying to figure out when the scheduled meetings were. My understanding was that this was a sort of drift in drift out thing of a couple of posts a week.
My rough build idea was a dex build melee fighter with a great sword and cleave, burning most of my feats to get power attack and a smite skill that lets me guarantee that I do not waste my smite skill on a miss. I have little to no understanding of the power or role of ranged weapons in this setting yet, only that they're dramatically more powerful than regular D&D.
My character feature, sacrificing the mount, is a magic sword that I can summon. The feature has a major subfeature relating to being able to use crafting to improve the weapon and add magical properties to it, but crafting as a feature is never used in any D&D game I've been in before, so I hope that item customization isn't important.
What is the role of other people's builds? Or is this a discussion meant to be had in character? If so, I'll need to spend a few hours, at least, reading and getting in to character before I can do that.
My current focus is going to be reading the history document, then reading up from where I was to where we are now, then on making the roleplay posts in super huge post blobs. With no understanding of how long this will actually take, I tentatively express hope to catch up to the group in three days or less.
The last I recall from the thread was discussion on how it was bad to have OOC posts in the thread, but being absent for a couple of days in this thing that was supposed to require little and occasional interaction seems to need more than I thought. I will rearrange my efforts to the best of my ability. I haven't played a D&D campaign in a few years, and those were based on regularly scheduled sessions. Playing online via thread is new. I'm sorry for being out of touch for a bit.
I don't know what the thread's agreement on out of character posts is, but I hopefully will after I read the history document and catch up on the thread.

"Visual Aural Radio Range" the white pegasus answers. "It's a radio navigation aid. It's necessary here, since it's easy to either go too far north and into Stalliongrad, or too far west and get lost at sea."
The pilot answers the later question
"Trottingham Naval Base. Center of the Rocky Seas Operation."
Inside of the seaplane, the blue pegasus says
"In the back. We have Carey Floats"
>>179409
He looks down
"Oh... You can get lonely in the city too. Even when you are sharing a bedroom with three others..." He looks back up. "But I mean... what is the wilderness like? I've seen trees before, but.... I don't know. I don't really know what to ask."
"Did you like hunting? I always hated it. It meant there was no other food available."

I can help you out with your paladin build, if you want. I'm a huge optimization geek.
>What is the role of other people's builds?
For me... Probably tank, tbh. High HP and AC, plus damage reduction. Good melee damage. Posey is a spellcaster, but she only really knows a few kinds of spells, most of which are touch range.

Kira: "Really? You've never been out into the wilderness? Well...like I said, it's beautiful, but also sort of dangerous? Like, it's dangerous if you're stupid about it, but as long as you're paying attention to your surroundings and not doing any dangerous things like eating random berries then you'll be perfectly fine! I could take you out to camp in the wilderness sometime to show you. I need to learn more about the wilds of this strange land, too, and having some company would be really nice. Though, maybe I would wait to invite you out until it warms up a bit. I think all of this cold is making the world sleepy. All of those trees we saw out of the window had no leaves, and the grass was all brown like it was dead."

You don't need to be doing that unless if you really want to. I can't write up a summary right now but if you'd like one, then you can continue just from the last few posts which you may prefer. If you do massive catch-ups not only does it take more time but the amount of effort might turn you off from playing, since it will seem more obligatory and not for fun.

Since we're posting party roles, Dust is a certified healer/tank/undead killer.
Also plastic was a fairly common and important commodity during WWII. Nylon is the best example, but a lot of the plastics were thermosets that would have been more expensive and less common to see today. The first "plastic" was just cellulose extracted from wood.
