The latest segment of our little adventure begins with the party frozen stiff,... because we ended it on a still-frame. Trump is bleeding and bruised, with an almost unnoticeable limp, while Tracy is still shuddering from Trump's ill placed hand earlier. Thez is nearby flicking giant-brain from her shoulder, while Giga-Torcuil - essentially a giant bearded scotsman in a plaid robe - wrestles with a 7-headed hydra (and losing I might add).
By the way, had I remembered that there was a hydra in MLP, I'd have used imagery much sooner.
Crap, wrong image.
There. So that, except with 7 heads, and most of them have a grip on Torcuil's 'not suited for wrestling with hydras' forearms. He's a bit of a bleeder it looks like.
For those not in the know, this is the continuation of a hybrid Dungeons and Dragons campaign which has been modified to suit anonymous image-boards. New players are always welcome, please just announce your interest in playing and we'll figure it out as we go.
Lurkers are welcome, please don't be disruptive. ^_^

>>2105the north gate seems the best place to start
i walk towards the main gate
>>2104I'm guessing you must be new here. I have met with Football... Not just a representation of Football, but the one, true Football, and He told me that we are already dead; we have been selected because of our merits and also that blue one over there. This snake lady thing said something similar - that we are already dead, that there is no going back, and that we are to fight endlessly and pointlessly for the amusement of bored minor deities...
>>2107But if there is a way back to save our countries... well, we may as well try the main gate. Onwards!
*walks towards the main gate*
So (unless I hear any objections) the overwhelming party consisting of:
Torcuil - Currently absent, but a stout Scotsman and developming Meme Magician (lit, he has to meme to cast spells).
Trump - Totally not raped in any way, Trump is resplendent in his shiny armor, with his fine Bastard sword and ample tower shield.
Tracy - Totally not a psychopath in any way. Has a bandolier of knives tho, and looks at you weirdly.
Infernius - The new guy. He's not a monster, he's a minotaur. He carries a Zwiehand(Exceptionally-Great-Sword) with augmenting (and useful!) knee and shoulder-plates.
Thez - Archetype, Tulpa, She's here to make sure anyone who is pudding gets to still play; Sadistic rage-monk.
>>2111dead,alive it dont really matter all thats matter is we kill those ziggers.
>>2112"Cuz if you die, I can just whack you with a stick!" she menacingly adds.
*Trump ponders his memory of an Episode of Star Trek, "The Gamesters of Triskelion"*
>>2113*Looks at Inferius funny*
"First, do we have all of the supplies we need to venture far?"
>>2115Yes, ample dry rations have been available such that you would naturally have taken advantage and would have them in possession
>>2112*looks towards supply stores*
"I recommend the Hydra jerkey!"
Thez enthusiastically offers.
Sshh! I'm in assassin stealth!
... I think....
Okay, I have to ask your opinion as players at this point.
Traditionally I would present you with an obstacle, in this case a large, reinforced, iron gate. I would do so to give certain players the opportunity to gain experience for ingenuity or creativity. I would also use this opportunity to drag the game out some, cuz rhythm.
This is not a traditional rendering of the game. Can I instead suggest that there may have been some arguing over methods, some bants and insults, and some general tomfoolery before ultimately the gate 'got broken from increased attention' and the party carried on?
>>2126I appreciate your willingness to compromise. Its not always like this, but its not always like 'anything' at this point. I welcome your participation.
>>2127U with your,... oh sleep! Xp
>>2115Its not (You) who is getting raped/exploited (come on, Paladins are comic relief, combat aside), its Trumpaladin, and he is no more real than a pony. Xp
Concluding Tracy as being passed out (lit or fig) I see nothing barring a continuation of the story.
>As Tracy begins to waver, Thez intercepts her descent, laying her in a pile of not-filth nearby
>>2129>>2131REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm not being left out!*continues some distance behind group*
>>2130We venture north through the (fuck that shit) broken gate.
[1d20 = 20]>>2134Wasn't leaving out, just making so character can go afk if needed
>>2136Fuck it then. My brain's shutting down, and I have shit to do tomorrow....
Trumpadin, show-up on time next week, so you don't get >raped.
I do want the story to continue, and I'm fully prepared to go to lengths to depict it. Having said, I also recognize that anons are/may-be on different timezones and positions. Tracy is falling out, but characters can still play on. I'll admit a bias toward Tracy 'cuz Thez wants to rape her, but we can work well past that.
And... I've been dropped from classes because I did not pay tuition on time. I've been busy with job applications and a new internship and they couldn't be fucked to send me an email warning me of the deadline. Whatever, I'll deal with this on Monday
>>2140Fuck. It sucks when that happens.
>>2140Rather, are you stable enough to hold out for a few weeks at minimum?
WHY Kek? Why doth thou graceth thyne bread with wanton dubs and trips?! Is it thy will that those who doth venture into parts unknown of the imagination be blessed and checked?
>>2144Yeah, I should be able to hold out. The job search is putting me into depression and a litany of side issues are not helping.
Never go to law school. I do not care how well you did on the LSAT or how ranked an institution you were accepted into >>2147>almost went to law school>ended up in industryI can argue any-which way.
BTW, some mod needs to make it so Game Night doesn't rape the mainboard.
>>2141Sorry Infernius/Confed-anon, it doesn't look like there are enough players to sustain the Game. Generally the Game runs on Saturdays, with storyline, bants, and inter-character development at leisure through the week. Next Sat, we'll pick up where we left off (on the verge of killin'! ssshhhh, u don't know that yet), but since we're (the group) not in a threat-situation, u can interact as you like per the maps. I can't reupload cuz they're in thread.
>>2149If you mean the prominence of the thread on the homepage, perhaps the feature causing posts from the board to appear on the home page could be made configurable, such that /vx/ could be easily listed or delisted as needed with Admin edit, or perhaps threads with special tripcodes would not have replies to them appear on the homepage (sounds unnecessarily complicated to me, but there's a Dev I'll bet would love to write this).
If you mean the fact that the main board sort of dies, I think that's just what happens when 4 active posters are distracted from the main board.
>>2151Not dies, but is drowned certainly. The nature of the Game guarantees rapid posting.
>>2152So... Like what do you want changed?
>>2153Well, I come out of a gaming-coma and when I look at the homepage its all /vx/-gaming. I'm not adverse, but I imagine this inhibits browsing and perusing, so I would suggest something that prevents game thread from being obtrusive? IDK.
>>2151What I meant:
The gaming thread hogs the homepage. I would hate for a random new-mlpol to get drowned in gaming shit by happenstance. Thank you for the degrees of slack that the gaming thread has enjoyed, but look out for the newb,... we may rape them in time.
