>This looks to be a single-player rpg
These were plans that I made when I was solo roleplaying for more than a year before I met the party.
It doesn't all have to be solo though. I thought that I would be joining the party in exterminating Changelings when I joined.

GM did ask for it.
I have more ideas, but those were just the things I had off of the top of my head.
Also, they are not necessarily solo.

What kinds of plans, ambitions or ideas for sidequests do other players have? Is anypony interested in helping Posey usher in the day of bug spray?

Kira is going to do anything she can to help improve public perception around lamias, and get the governor of Baltimare to agree to let her tribe come in and settle as refugees. Silver's going to go on an adventure to look for the Tree of Life and, hopefully, save the world along the way.

This sounds like gaining Reputation Points, which is what Posey is trying to do.
Perhaps we could help each other.
>get the governor of Baltimare to agree to let her tribe come in and settle as refugees.
Hmmm, more potential Bone Nagas...
I, too, have a vested interest in subverting the policy agenda of the customs department.

Interesting.

I don't really care what you think of me, m8. I was having a conversation with Silver, not you. You are the only poster who has complained, as you always do. If the other posters have a problem with it, I will listen to them. Until then, I shall post as I feel is appropriate at my leisure.

Let me explain. (you) felt perfectly entitled to bitch and moan about the disruptive nature of repeat posts. And yet, refuse to denote the disruptive nature of walls of text about character aspirations

Was simply NOT condensed into 3 posts. Very well, I'll begin writing the detailed history of the Row family, since it pertains to my character aspirations. Wouldn't that be a gas?

>ideas for sidequests
Let me illustrate:
In order for Brie to achieve his aspirations, he will have to convince Lacey's father, and his 3 brothers. The reigning Grandfather already likes him, but he's anathema for havinggotten raped by having sex with Lacey in the first place.
The Row family is an ancestal ninja family, established when an ancestor dispatched an evil ugly nasty JUST like the Traveler.
Ergo, having been seduced by the Row family heir AND having (ostensibly) survived very much the same sort of encounter by which the Row family established themselves, his intention is to fight
(doon doon)
for the right
)doon doon)
To bat puuuuuuuuuuusssssssssay
Unintended, but it felt right
So, his intention (again assuming he walks out of this, cuz unlike some ponies Brie can actually die) is to retire after a long bit of social dialogue, and maybe a bit of combat.
After establishing Lacey as a character, side-quests that could serve her intentions are limitless, but a brief outline of the types include:
Negotiations/Diplomacy
Robbery
Black Operations
Social Manipulation (like the previous, except people get less mad when you're caught)
General combat (if necessary)
If more specific examples are necessary I can offer examples and suggestions.
Forgive me for not asserting/expecting "World domination, absolute corruption of everything, etc." isn't listed. I guess some think globally while others think locally.

Suspecting that this will be interpreted weird, I mean that the grandfather likes Brie, but BRIE is anathema for having had sex with Lacey (there was a pregnancy), after having saved Lacey's ass during an 'instance'.

Oh, I actually helped with this idea! Okay, I won't spoil it too much, but I will say that the result won't be entirely what you were expecting, but Lament should be able to explain what the benefits of the outcome are. I don't know if GM pone will actually do it, but we'll see if/when Posey returns to the mansion one day and Lament asks her to follow him while he shows her something.
>>189960
There are more ideas for Silver than just that, though most are personal ambitions or going on adventures that his finds in Curwhinny's dungeon lead him to. Like, he wants to expand his house so he has enough room to house all of his collected NPCs, buy a workshop and set up a smithy to outfit himself, the party, and earn passive income to support his household, find a lost island in the middle of the Thalassic Ocean, and look for a pirate queen's treasure including a special ring for...reasons.
>Perhaps we could help each other.
Kira would definitely appreciate the help from a friend!
>Hmmm, more potential Bone Nagas...
Oh noes. Make sure Kira doesn't know about that part.
Also, I'd like to post sometime a rundown on the lamias, their history, and all of the different kinds of lamias. Is there any interest in that at all or should I just forget about it?

Oh for fuck's sake. Let me give you a paste-bin, since I don't know what you have planned, but I guarantee whatever it is is something I could chess my way around, but okay, we'll do this the hard way.
Brie's primary method would be to avoid detection, sweeping as much of the available perimeter as possible. His next step would be to observe movements, positions, formations, patrols; find what repeats (if applicable). While doing so, an analysis of the involved parties would occur; one can predict the crew of the Kostromo, and likely the GRU; who knows who else.
Next comes an analysis of possible shatter-points. Explosive barrels, weakened structures, perhaps even oil in the water; anything to shift the fight as needed.

While y'all wanna play like it's "Days of Our Lives", Brie seemingly is the only pony who's treating this like its a mix of Metal Gear: Solid, and Silent Hill.

To answer your stupid question, it is relevant because I am not able to quit my job to play D&D in the middle of a weekday, as much as I would like to.
I don't mind if ponies want to play without me, and I encourage them do so if they can, but I am answering DM's questions about my availability for combat encounters, which is only in the evenings on week days.

You’re pissed off that I made a post explaining I have work obligations preventing me from doing much today, I would like to have a combat encounter soon, and asking what player availability is like in the middle of the coming week. Okay. I don’t understand why you are angry, but we all understand that you are angry. That’s fine, but I am going to ask people about availability and to announce that I want combat soon.
I’ve said before that you having a shitty attitude is not appreciated. Thus is for fun. You don’t want fun, then fuck off.
I’ve said before that we all understand that you don’t like posey. Angry posting at every post that Posey makes is functionally spam and derailment. You have already been told to stop doing this. I am not going to relitigate this. You were also told not to make multiple posts in sequence that are a single line.

You have been told dozens of times not to spam consecutive posts, especially near the millennial post. It is not a difficult thing to do.

All you do is complain. Ever since this mission started, you have complained endlessly about everything. It's tiresome and counterproductive.

GM, why do you even tolerate this asshole when he makes posts like this >>190012 ? He is openly disrespecting you, with an attitude that calls into question why he is even playing this game. You don't have to put up with this.
He has been a drain on the group ever since he entered the game, he complains endlessly, and he refuses to even follow basic instructions like "don't spam" or "compress your posts". He continuously condemns and insults both you and the group for not roleplaying to his tastes or not meeting his expectations for scheduling.
Why does he have to be part of this?
I know I'm not a perfect player myself, but at least I freaking try to repress my bad habits.

Amber's one real ambition is to get into music school. It's never been looked at but I would hazard a guess that such schools are expensive and/or exclusive, which makes things hard for her considering she is penniless and wasted all her skill points on other skills.
There are plenty of sidequests for Amber to go on as she is eager for adventure. One possible idea is that she could explore the underground parts of Baltimare. Posey has been there.
Cavaliere would be taking on extra quests around the city. Resolving conflicts is his forte among his many skills, and anypony can hire him so long as the job does not break his code or good sense. He is lawful good and already suspicious of Posey, which would limit his interaction with her, but investigating and finding changeling spies is something he could do.

Not even in the right ballpark. I'm frustrated, dejected, and quite frankly nihilistic about any prospects of the game. I was perfectly content to forget about it entirely until you pinged me about it. And yes, like a child, I immediately went "Oh goody gumdrops, maybe something is going to happen!". Instead, I see the one player doing as they always do and trying to make themselves the pivotal/central character. And yes, like a child, I lost my shit. Sorry about the millennial post, it's been a crazy couple weeks and it completely slipped my mind.

NO you don't get to be rid of me, you're rid of me when GM allows me to actually play without making lame excused for months and then suddenly becoming available once I lose my shit.
If he thinks he's getting away with giving me the Scones/Stix treatment, well good luck.

What kind of abilities do Changelings normally have in this game anyway? I think most of their abilities would be emulated by using Eberron Changelings with the Unleesie Fey template (that's what I would use if I were playing one), but idk what GM uses for them.
Chrysalis is probably best represented as an Unseelie Fey Doppelganger with levels in Chameleon, maybe Half-Fey if more spell-like abilities were wanted.

I am referring to the rules for creature carrying capacity.
A bone lurker is a creature that crawls along the ground when it is not flying, so I treated it as a quadruped, but if it were treated as a "two legged" creature, it would be able to drag 32,000 pounds, which is still more than enough to drag a blimp.
The real question is if the blimp can stay in the air so it can be dragged horizontally instead of carried. Monstro could drag it, but it could not lift it while flying. Lifting, carrying, and dragging are very different mechanics. We would need to check if it has enough helium left to stay in the air after the engines are removed; unlikely, but plausible.
Inspired by Saint Brendan's whale-drawn ship.

All you do is complain. I propose an off-hand idea to plausibly get off the island, and you complain for no reason other than that it sounds too cool and that makes you angry for some reason.
If you put half as much effort into playing the game as you put into complaining, maybe you wouldn't feel so "sidelined".

Were we going to get into combat this week, or what?
We have found the airponies. Can we go ahead and maybe streamline torching the engine systems, patching up the injured, and restraining the prisoners, so that we can head to the Kostroma? We already determined that the leak in blimp prevents it from being repurposed, so we should torch it already and get on with the adventure.

Maybe we should. I would like to get to know the crew better, but we are in an obvious rush. I was hoping Dust would be here to look at the injured and talk with the ponies.

I don't think his player would object to him taking 10 on medicine checks to heal all the injured 1d4.

I don't want to rush ahead without him, but we need to consider player availability and what we can do when which players are present.

If you don't find anything happening at all with the airponies to be interesting or worth a few posts of time, then what is at the Kostroma that is going to be worth spending time on? The airponies are the objective from the beginning. Shouldn't they be worth at least a glance if they are the objective? Not a single player has even noticed that the number of ponies at the airship is significantly lower than the number of ponies the team is supposed to be looking for. Or maybe that's just a misstep. Did you want to do combat instead? Then why didn't you say that when I asked what you wanted to do next? Why did you say "let's go to the airponies" if you had absolutely no desire to see the airponies? Why would you not tell me "I want to blow shit up with the whale thing" if that is what you actually wanted to do? As I said I am waiting for Dust's player, who is (allegedly) doing finals work now. That's the main reason there is no combat
I guess you just want to be done with the entire quest as soon as possible? To what end? To do what else? What's the point of any of it? Why finish it? Stellaris has a new update and I should probably do work
If you don't find anything happening at all with the airponies to be interesting or worth a few posts of time, then what is at the Kostroma that is going to be worth spending time on? The airponies are the objective from the beginning. Shouldn't they be worth at least a glance if they are the objective? Not a single player has even noticed that the number of ponies at the airship is significantly lower than the number of ponies the team is supposed to be looking for. Or maybe that's just a misstep. Did you want to do combat instead? Then why didn't you say that when I asked what you wanted to do next? Why did you say "let's go to the airponies" if you had absolutely no desire to see the airponies?

Without having looked, memory serves that we're tasked with 8 air-ponies, and the description only seems to include 5, including one that seems likely daft

>If you don't find anything happening at all with the airponies to be interesting or worth a few posts of time
You misunderstand me. It wasn't that I don't find it interesting or fun. I just thought you wanted to get the other thing done this week, so I was worried that the way I was roleplaying and asking questions of the NPCs was burning time and stalling the game.
I think you are misinterpreting my question as dissatisfaction. I was asking what it was that you intended to do this week, so I could fit to the schedule and know when to check.
Also Brie's player has been so salty about the game not moving fast enough, so I was trying to do what I could to move things along.
>Not a single player has even noticed that the number of ponies at the airship is significantly lower than the number of ponies the team is supposed to be looking for.
In all honesty, I forgot how many there were supposed to be in the first place. My bad.
>Then why didn't you say that when I asked what you wanted to do next? Why did you say "let's go to the airponies" if you had absolutely no desire to see the airponies?
That's not what I meant at all. I thought it was you who wanted to get into combat this weekend. I didn't want to drag it out if you had a schedule.
>As I said I am waiting for Dust's player, who is (allegedly) doing finals work now. That's the main reason there is no combat
Oh, alright then. No hurry. I am glad to wait for him or you however long it may take.

Don't even pretend to begin to know what I'm on about. "Worry about having a fun time with all involved players" is what you should pretend to be concerned with

This I want to address separately.
GM, I am not complaining here. My communication skills are not the best, so if my post conveyed any lack of appreciation for your game or the current scene, I apologize. I enjoy this game. I enjoy roleplaying with the NPCs, like the Charisma checks I just did to parlay with the airponies; and I and interested in seeing their next reactions. I enjoy reading the elaborate and detailed descriptions of the scenes, including this one. I enjoy sitting at the edge of my chair wondering what the next plot twist will be.If I did not enjoy this game, I would not be playing it. I do not play games that I do not enjoy, or at least not for as long as I have been playing this one. I have enjoyed the quests so far, and I hope to enjoy a lot more content in the future and continue to weave this story.
A 3.5e d20 pony game in a 20th-century magical setting inspired by EaW is a unique and interesting experience I would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. It has been fun, and I am more than satisfied with playing this for as long as you want to keep telling this story.
>To what end?
Just to advance the plot, really. I'm excited to see what will come next.
>To do what else?
Well, once this adventure is finished, i would look forward to the next one.
>What's the point of any of it?
The fun. It's all for fun. This is all fun to me. That's why I play.
>Why finish it?
I have been looking forward to the climax of this game since I first entered. I look forward to getting involved in the war and what developments might come of my character on that path.
>Stellaris has a new update and I should probably do work
If you feel the need to take some time off for yourself to focus on your other hobbies or career, I would not complain. Do it at whatever place you are comfortable with.

Let's wait for Dust. Also I need to take better notes; like Posey I had forgotten how many airponies there are supposed to be. I was however going to ask more essential information like what happened to the lieutenant.
Sorry for sounding hasty/ungrateful. I tend to internalize the urgency of the quest if the environment sounds urgent. To me, that implies we should ask only essential information, evacuate the airponies, and chat with them only when it's safe. If that's not what you would like us to do then having some direction regarding that could help.

GM, may we please see the results of the Rangers' tracking soon, so that we can make our decisions on what to do next before the weekend? We cannot really discuss what to do next without knowing what direction they went in.

We can do this one of two ways.
In one scenario, y'all chill and respond when responded to, because all this demanding of attention is precisely how the game gets derailed.
You've made your checks, you've declared your actions, now wait for a response.
Or, I can go apeshit all over these threads in a manner that is A. parallel to, and B. an order of magnitude more obnoxious.
Choose wisely.

Strike that, Dust Defiant hasn't said what he's doing. Ostensibly, he's the only player who should have anything further

Remember when GM tried that tactic for a while?
The question remains, how patient are you willing to be?

I GM on Sundays, but I should still be able to play. Apologies in advance if it takes me a little longer than usual to respond.

Now see, if Silver wanted to do Brie an actual solid, he'll recognize that as a name that Brie has uttered no less than thrice
>>190434 →
Yes, of course you noticed, and of course that's your response

have the good sense to allow GM to respond to the appropriate players in turn, without your insistence?
