The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

Was mostly just wondering if it has a control panel or is voice controlled.


Both. The panel is like a catalog and the voice control is for when you know what you want without looking.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Yep. Either. Literally just like the holodeck since that is pretty much exactly what the SIM room is. :)

Ah. Makes sense. I can help with this. The program definitely exists, mostly for the use of homesick firebirds. I'll throw up some description for you since I had to give at least the basics during a couple previous scenes. :)

And now the more I look at making an NPC of him, the more I want to make him a full character. I really don't need any more characters.

I think maybe I do this subconsciously. Like "oh, the game is slowing down. Maybe if I make a new character, I can interact with people and things will pick up again."

The best part of everyone being busy is that no one is around to tell me to stop giving the eggs popcorn. :)

rambles incoherenrly


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Hopefully I will get a chance to post more later tonight. Ran out of time now.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

I have a half hour set aside to post to game thread.....here's hoping that I get no emergency phone calls or other time consuming crises dropped on me during that thirty minutes....it's been that kind of week where I no longer have any confidence that it's possible to get that kind of time....

Sorry. My bad. I didn't realize that Ryleh hadn't actually gone and relayed the information to Havel.

Semi-important pm, lyn

Shadow Lodge

Just realized something interesting about one of my characters. He's got no where to go and, at the moment, isn't a student or teacher.

Interesting indeed...


Ooh, neat.

The party that Andromeda is talking about, is that the same party Sadie invited Helena to?


Male Drow (noble) 14 Ranger

Did the conversation with Grim Jr and Viskra and Al end? It's probably my fault that trailed off...he's kind of hard to play for me :P
I'm not anti-social by any means, and he's very apprehensive with very little social skills, but feels the need to help when he thinks people need it.
If you guys want that to continue or let it trail off, that's fine.

We were the last ones to talk yes
(Also finally the website is back up yay)

Yeppers.

Trying to focus, but I'm really struggling here. I've been pretty sick the last few days. And the kidlet has been sick the last three weeks. So I'm spent. All this to say, I'm going to get updates up as soon as I can, but it's likely to be a bit sporadic and unpredictable here.

FEEL BETTER LYN!


Unless I missed something, the people in the SIM rooms need more narration.


Just picture an industrial age city with an emphasis on art and fire and go from there. The sun is gone, so you can more or less make stuff up, and if it's an issue, we can tell you.

One of the tenants of this game is that there isn't a GM or narrator unless it's super necessary, so being able to improv is important.

I'm not sure.

It's Myths and Monsters day, but also National Fossil Day, so I did both:

Alright, I threw up some general description of the sun for you guys to riff off of. That should help you keep that scene going now. :)


A few musings:

1) It's incredibly hard for me to find a character in my aliases when the images for avatars aren't working.

2) There might be some footing for at least magic characters to know their level in a class by timing how long certain spells last for them. "I can keep a summon here for _____ amount of time, so I'm a _____ level magic user." There's already a somewhat translucent window between meta and IC as far as spells go since the names of the spells are the same in and out of character, and there are some abilities that tell you if someone can cast spells at a certain level IC.

GUYS! A player just did a funny thing in my Emerald Spire game!

Spoiler:
So they've reached a level called the Throne of Azlant and they destroyed a clockwork machine that was attacking them and one person heard a ticking and grinding sound afterwards. It was a clockwork heart, still beating.

The monk/paladin picks it up and resists the sudden urge to place it on his own chest. It's the size of an ogre's fist and he's a Halfling, by the way.

Some magical inspection later and they figure out it gives +4 Con to whoever puts it to their chest. The paladin/monk does so immediately and everyone watches in horror as it burrows into his chest and expels the slurry that was his original heart.

The best part? The transmutation aura this thing(a minor artifact!) was giving off covered up the necromancy in it. He's replaced his heart with the phylactery of the very lich they're trying to find and kill!

I've got a great plan now, which involves them thinking the crown the lich wears is his phylactery so they destroy it and don't think about the heart and then use these rules (Additional Graveknight Armor Information) for what happens.


You're a monster.

Shadow Lodge

He did it to himself!

Doubly so, because he's the one that showed the additional graveknight rules! XD


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

The good news: The kidlet is finally feeling better. I think we might be done with trips to urgent care for a while, knock on wood.

Now if only the site would actually work properly during my brief windows of time when I can actually post >.<

Glad you're back, Lyn.

In other news, Bladerunner 2049 is excellent, especially if you liked the original one. It expanded on it wonderfully and didn't feel like it did it wrong in any way. It's a bit slow in some places, and long, but still very good.

So, those of you who like starfinder-

I'm throwing out a chance to sell me on it again, to see if it's worth learning at all.

Concerns of flavor have been somewhat addressed on my end, but here's the thing-

Mechanics.

In starfinder, can you become powerful enough that you can do at least one, if not 2 of these things reliably on a chsrecter-

Get your ac to the point where most level appropriate creatures only hit you on a 20
Be so accurate you only miss on a 1
Never fail crustal skill checks
Reliably get all of your saves so that 5 or higher usually passes

Because without at least 1 of those things, I tend to lose interest in a chsrecter- hyper specialization is kinda my thing.


It's a very new system. You can do those things in pathfinder because it's been written for for years now with lots of options to take. Give it some time.

Shadow Lodge

Really wish a few things, you know, made sense in-setting instead of "Not in the System, not in the Setting, stop asking why."

That, and there's another 'Aroden was killed and no one knows how'* mystery.

*Except Paizo, but they'll never tell because it's supposed to make the setting special. ;)

Alright, that little rant over, time to stat up something.
