ITT Roleplaying
Classic Tabletop D&D (3.5e mostly)
New players welcome, most especially our recent pony addition
Its always some level of nuts in this thread, and this moment does not disappoint.
All kinds of things have happened, the result of which is that with over a week passing in meat-space the party is still right where they left off at.
Tracy is venturing to the mountains with her floofy-faced, hutungous birbs in an oversided wagon, hoping to give them a chance to have a moment with their biological father.
Trump, for some reason, is quite butt-hurt by this. What? Its true,....
Thez is enjoying the first decent night's sleep in over a week, Infernius contemplates (((genocide))) (does it work in that context? I mean he's contemplating their genocide of course), and Torcuil learns that Death is a pretty cool chick with a morbid sense of humor in an absurd job that you wouldn't think is a job, but its literally a job. So yeah, next time he wants to hit her up, just blow ur brains out or something.
Last thread got to over 1800 posts <trumpet fanfare> but that shit is impossible on mobile and cumbersome at best otherwise so,....

So as this night and session come to a tenative close (tenative, cuz its technically always ongoing), Stix is out wandering through various parts of the forest. He's actually well on his way to Trollestia's grove, but who knows where he'll end up? Tracy is playing with toys, except these toys become real-life goats, music accompanying one and ill temper the other.

I don't even understand your meaning.
Please note, play is not suspended, but this is the point where I really start shitposting, just so its known

I mean that he needs to speak with allies (Baz, in this case) about the geo-political situation, in order to inform them of what happened, learn how they can help, and also get a better understanding of what they are up against (because he still doesn't know anything about seven factions, who those pirates were, or anything but that kefka exists in the Court City with a bunch of undead)

Well, Tracy spends a few more mintues eating lunch with the two goats while her faggot attends to things.

>play not suspended
Stix, clearly making no progress with the trail, sets up camp. He expertly weaves branches, leaves, and grass into a tent like structure.
He then builds a small fire and stares into it, desperately trying to recall his past.
he wouldn’t try so hard if he knew what he would remember

After lunch, Tracy goes off to the holodeck and practices her new stance.

I think I want to open a dojo nao.
Now that I think of it, it makes more sense for Tracy to be teaching martial disciplined to the followers of her 'cult' rather than any spooky religious undertones. Would actually contribute more to society too, since the teachings of her house could be passed down.

For two reasons, first, this is attempt 91001 for Tracy's faggot to try to get free sneak attack every single round. Because that's exactly what this is. This is "if an opponent fails to hit you in a round, you get flanking." Which is sneak attack. But obviously opponents are going to miss a substantial portion of the time. Hell, even a high level warrior type with a +12 +7 +2 is probably going to miss on one of three of those even if it's an insanely strong fighter. Or a huge dragon is going to miss with one of its six attacks. And boom! Free +100 damage in a round just cause he found a homebrew that say that
But also, why does his character get so much more time than ours? He gets to attack a wagon. And he gets to drive into the mountains. And he gets to Wait 30 minutes as ogres fight. And he gets to come back, and then be there for a new character, and then go on an investigation which he frustratingly cuts short. And then he gets an ogre fight, and then a goat things scene. And then more training? Like how much more slowly does time pass for this character than for all of the others?
Infernius's character got what... Suit shopping? Mine got a brief conversation and a plane ride. Same with Torcuil.

There is always a spotlight hog anon, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get along.
And get creative. The reason we see so much of Tracy is because that character is more outgoing, more direct in approach. The character isn’t afraid of consequence, so goes into danger. This danger means more dedicated time to resolve those conflicts.
I get it, you want more time to role play. It seemed very lacking today, I will agree, but approach this calmly and we can figure something out.

It's because the faggot is entirely dedicated to this while I was driving part of yesterday and out with a friend today, and then tonight GM focused more on him than the others

Okay. I appreciate your attention to detail, and hope we can resolve this civilly. Now please, put the gun down.
Seriously though I get where you're coming from, and such a thing would be a piece of cake for like, Thez "Bah, that stance assumes your opponents are weak, I would never use it!" or others such. I did say it wouldn't be precisely that technique.

And I feel the GM is a bit biased for Tracy’s faggot as well, probably because the GM has a bit more fun with those scenarios. Look at what we are doing: I’m walking on a dirt road, and you were flying a ship. Now look at Tracy: running around, killing stuff, making goats.
Which would you choose? I won’t say it’s fair, but you got to understand where it is coming from.
Now, let’s think up a way to balance this problem. Maybe limit the turns a player can have in a row before it must be another player’s turn, no ifs ands or buts.

Thats true, I did. It seemed fitting since we all holed out for a week-ish in discord while he sat along without any word and discord fugging up instantly. So yeah, I let him take the lead a bit. It seemed fair and fitting in the long run.

Mostly I was jealous because I wanted to play out the investigation. Slovenia was just such a screamingly obvious suspect that I absolutely would have interrogated her. And besides that, the Adam character was stated to be at the Rusty Duck and the flower shop was not investigated...

Oh stop it.
If you're going to be the rulecuck, why don't you quit wearing two suits of magical armor, or stop wearing a helm and a circlet at the same time, or send off that 17d10 magical beast companion, or that Homebrew feat that gives you four extra spells.
Most of your haxx are seemingly subtle thing that actually go a long ways in the end, often requiring Epic Level feats under normal SRD rules. You're allowed to do all that, because nobody else complains: none of the other party members care if your character has things to make him more effective, sometimes they even encourage it. You on the other hand complain about everything: every session your always policing the other characters on how they play the game, as if it's your place to decide what the rules are. Why can't you just relax and let the GM be the one to decide what he want to allow before you get butthurt?
>"""Free""" Sneak attack
It's not hard to get a """free""" sneak attack, even when you're one square away from your enemy. A smokebombs, darkness, a cloak dance, a concealed weapon.. etc. There's many methods to provide 1-turn concealment or flanking for a Sneak Attack. I like this one because she can use it without blinding party members, and it gives her allies a bit of advantage.
Why do you even care what my character can do?

>homebrew
Used twice ever and was intended to counterbalance your insistence on playing contrary to other players at the time. The difference is I don't ask for more things all the time.
>not hard
Great, do that

The goats were a hold-over from a previous session. Other than that I was trying to avoid getting started into a lengthy cinematic description only to say "whoops, we'll finish later" with Trump and co at Sparintenar. So again, yes I did allow Tracy to get a little silly.
>>54569
This is so many levels of inside-job autism that I'm taken aback. Kudos for the thought, but thats SO not it.

Ah, I knew about the Rusty Duck, but not a flower shop. You think the girl is suspect huh? Could very well be, but both my character and Tracy couldn’t see it, so that is our failing. When you get back from your trip, you could ask us about the investigation, and then go out for yourself to find out things.

I absolutely would have interrogated her

Tbh, I was getting that feel from her too, but Tracy wouldn't be one to pry about those sort of things, unless she were offering to get rid of other annoying coworkers.

Couldn’t see just fire the guy or get her helpers that were loading the trebuchet to keep him away? Why go to the trouble of murder?

That's why you should have taken the Paladin...
He may not have "gather information" or "search" but he's got sense motive like nothing else, besides magic like Zone of Truth, Discern Lies, and is strong enough to win a grapple
>>54579
Maybe she could. But Adam is the actual owner. And if she's a sadist and a sociopath, she'd be just fine killing him rather than firing him

I find the image of some faggot "accidentally" having their leg caught on a 90 kg stone projectile that was promptly flung over 300 meters, to be absolutely hilarious.

Makes as much sense as a blue pony with knifes and blood lust eating with two goats see summoned, at least to me.

Tracy trains in the holodeck for the rest of the afternoon, stopping only to take notes on her newly-developed combat maneuvers, and to feed her birds (who sleep for most of the day).
>>54583
I know. And it was frustrating because I wanted to dimension-lock shackle her (because she can teleport now for some reason), cast zone of Truth on her, and do some serious interrogation.
>>54584
I'm betting on fantasizing about killing coworkers
>>54588
And I'm sure you'll declare more actions for her later

She's a unicorn. I thought with her being all excited about maybe blowing stuff up, she might just manage it since it didn't seem consequential. Chill

like you haven’t wanted to put the names of people you hate on a target and mow it down before
Or is that just me and I’m just as evil?
