What it is? Its an ongoing thread-based fantasy RPG
What it do? Players do their thing based off dice scripts and 3.5e D&D as a rules baseline.
Throughout the week we shitpost at one another and on weekends we kill shit or surmount some form of obstacle. New players always welcome.
The party currently has a trebuchet, a series of cannons, and an airship with another series of cannons aimed at a floating black pyramid just out from the docks of Port Barry. Its not actually a pyramid, its an octahedron, but its half submerged. Some quick thinking from the resident Mage kept it from teleporting away and escaping, and now the party is looking to crack that bitch open and see what sorta toys are inside. And kill shit.

>>44999I need to have a larger dialogue with her about her purpose and goals and such, but I don't think there's enough time. She's perfect for logistical support on the airship, with her telekinesis and all
>>44987Yea you have authority while im fuggin thez.
>>45001A teacup.
>>45002Yeah, but I'm just saying that someone asking you to do things right after you were killed is kind of stressful.
Besides, isn't she a painter?
>telekinesis and allHuman NPCs aren't that expensive, fyi.
>>45004>>45005>StressTrue. But living in a world where Undead monstrosities come in and suck your souls out isn't necessarily relaxing. Don't worry, she can paint before and after that
>Isn't she a painterYes. But I recall a certain specific Austrian Painter who served in the front lines for Germany in WW1. She's going places
>Other logistics NPCsI don't know how many we have. I'd love a few to operate ships and artillery while the combat infantry fight
>>45004"Yes, we captured a luxury one from a group of pirates that bombarded us yesterday. Do you not have airships in Equestria? Well... how's the painting going?"
I'm back who died while I was gone?
>>45007Trump points to the thing, cuz why wouldn't he.
"Oh that. I've only heard of such ships, but never seen one before."
Just cuz they have them in Equestria doesn't mean she knows what it is >>45011No one yet, but the night is young.
>>45011Nobody.
Still waiting to kill shit.
Aim the canons.
>>45007I thought Torc was going to be the pilot?
>>45012*picks up adorable little horsey, and helps her on*
"Ready for your first adventure? You can help move handles and carry arrows and things for all these nice well-armed men here. Don't worry, you can be back to painting in... I don't know how long. But it's good to be out in fresh air. There's Mountain Dew snacks if you like"
Everyone good then? No rush but,... murder
>>45013>prepares funeral pyre>>45015I AM THE PILOT
>>45014Torc turns the ship so it is positioned for a broadside
>>45015Only while he's on the ship. While he's in the pyramid, an NPC will have to pilot (evidently it won't be this horse). I'm preparing for the possibility that an army will exit from the breach after we've entered and gone down a different hall. It's not necessarily going to happen, but you don't win by making a plan that relies on certain happenings. You win by preparing for the most likely sets of scenarios and making contingency plans in case things go wrong
>>45007You have
lots more logistical support than military btw
>>45020>we do have logistical supportHuzzah! Use them for operating artillery and piloting ships
>>45018Oh yeah, turn that shield thing back on on the ship
>>45022It wasn't a function of the ship, it was a spell
>>45024I see. Same order
Torcuil, recreate that magic shield thingy
>>45025Can you recreate any portion of it?
>>45020Do you need any knowledge ranks to pilot a ship?
Tracy doesn't really have any other responsibilities, aside from raising her chicks.
>>45026I don't even know what it was
>>45029Do you have a meme that can approximate its effects? Like "you have no power here"?
>>45028Nah. This ship was designed to be effortless and stress-less to fly.
>>45028I think that one is specifically designed to be piloted by idiots. If you mean the Jolly Cunt, there's got to be sailors around. Also I am willing to bet Slovenia could figure out how to do it well. She's scary sometimes
>>45031But it's muh ship
>>45030Uh, give me a minute, I may use "You have no power here" but I have a feeling that would be more of a power drain then stayout sign
>>45026Last we knew, it took several casters.
Just park the ship back by the tower. If the temple is anything like the tower, it probably has mechanisms by which the enemies are watching what goes on outside; if not that, the spellcasters in the temple are almost certainly on the lookout.
>>45033You can be the air-pilot. You've got the ranks in Engineering knowledge anyway.
>>45033That'll work. Just anything to reduce the power of magic creatures who are fighting archers
>>45034We need the airship's cannons just to enter the the pyramid in the first place. And then it's useful for ranged fire support
>>45037>ranged fire supportI don't feel comfortable with having someone fire canons into the melee...
>>45036Wizard is best artificer anyway.
>>45038The only way we have to enter the pyramid is to shoot the pyramid, and then enter
>>45040Yeah, but don't have someone shooting canons after we've entered.
>>45041They'll be shooting arrows. Cannons will only be shot if serious shit comes out. And that could only happen when we're deep inside the pyramid. Deep inside
>>45037Okay then
"Hahaha, you have no power here!"
Should the characters meet up on the airship?
>>45043>Should the characters meet up on the airship?Nah, that'll take a long time.
Just blow a hole in the wall so we can enter asap.
Is everyone ready/present?
>>45043We could, although we could also just have the remainder stay near the breach.
>>45044Trumpaladin grabs his attack pony and rides his glorious dragon lion to the proximity of the soon to be breach
Infernius is at his friend's house. That's the IP he posted from. So I do not think he is ready
>>45044>>45045Works for me
Torc grabs the intercom mic
"Listen her fuckers, we have one chance at blowing a hole in these fuckers before they send shit at us. So be ready, and may Kek be with ye. Ready your cannons."
>>45042>shooting arrowsJust have them lining the perimeter with tower shields in tortoise formation, so they can stab anything that comes out.
Any kind of creature that would be able to get through that would be too big for arrows and too fast for canons.
>>45047"Uhm, sir? We're right here, you don't need the intercom,...."
>>45047The Spartans, Generals, and Ghestapo ready their cannons for the designated time to fire the converted set of salvoes
>>45050The Spartans are still here?
