Life happens. Don’t beat yourself up!
Do you want to move on without Cash for now?
Yeah, I’ll go for it.
Don’t let my wrecking Zombie Henry with a trip-kick combo discourage you. I enjoyed the encounter. It wasn’t so much the combat that made it fun, but having to outwit the hunter while limited to my non-magic skills. When you think about it, that was really 4 or 5 rounds—and they were tense, because a wrong move could’ve gotten an NPC killed!
I almost forget to use Martial Flex! Call Out was intended as my back up plan if Henry didn’t step closer. I liked how you positioned a shooter just out of charge range (70’). It was just close enough to make me consider giving away my position with an acrobatic tumble to a closer cover position, but then I remembered Mockingbird!
I wonder if Zulu now knows what Addy did to embarrass her earlier!
Well their is more to come so I might boost them up... but as I said, I'm mostly rp and ambiance anyway. I just hope WW gets on soon...
Creatures with serpentine bodies (like nagas) and 4+ legs (quadrupeds, giant insects and spiders) are trip immune. That would nerf VV’s combos a bit. (She can still hit 3 times with a full attack, but a tripped enemy could get hit 6 times in a round (in addition to the trip) if she gets a full attack + AoO is provoked.
Going to to probably be unavailable for the next few days.
So um... do you want to continue without WW? cuz they haven't been on for a bit... I mean I'm happy to continue just wanna know what you verdict is...
I’m still here, so as long as the game is going I’ll play solo if I have to.
Alrighty then!
does that mean skip ahead?
Yeah, sure. I didn’t know if I needed two checks or just the one.
It's a check per hour and the DC goes up by one per hour.
Got it. Made the first save for the second hour! (both successful; >10+hour)
Sorry, I'm going to post tomorrow.
No biggie! I see a new post, I respond.
Nice! I’ll post later. For now I’m curious if you’re familiar with Apocalypse World and/or the ‘Powered by the Apocalypse’ engine (a sort of 2D6 system).
Was this post for me? If it is...
Yeah, I'm sort of familiar with Powered by the Apocalypse. Played a pbp game on "The Happiest Apocalypse on Earth" but had to leave and it died. So, I am far from an expert, but I do kinda know it!
Yes, you specifically since I believe your emphasis on narrative over statsy-rulesy stuff might makes rules-lightish systems appealing to you—
—and I was curious if you had experience, and if so, what your impression was. I ask as I’m slowwwwly piecing together a homebrew and I think a system people actually heard of, created by designers who encourage “hacks” of their own system, is the way to go.
Yeah, that does sound nice! As for the rule system, I liked it, although it felt a tad bit janky, but I think its an all around good system. And I feel you about PF's rules! (I've actually stopped playing pathfinder, besides this game, an moved over to D&D because it's so much simpler!)
I guess the point of rules-light is to keep rules in the background. What’s *really* different to me is that the DC is static. (Not in hacks, necessarily, but in Apocalypse World it’s always 7/10.)
My first home brews were like that, before I ever touched a (virtual) d20. I had one with a single d6 rolling “ideal”, “favorable”, “unfavorable” and “humiliating.” That was on a writer’s site though, so you basically wrote your own awesomeness or your own eff-up. And it was whoever wrote after I rolled, so it took a special kind of person to volunteer their characters to be humiliated!
Sorry, I'm just seeing this!
Yeah, that seems like something neat to read!
I'll post tomorrow in game, just wanted to check in here!
omg, I am so sorry! (I just need to stop being sorry and just start posting... jeez) I'll be able to post tomorrow, and I'm trying to get back on a daily plan of some sort!
Feel s!*%ty about this but I might be even more spotty on posting for awhile. I really do want to continue this game (as your really fun!) but I just have been really busy lately and have some other stuff coming. So sorry about that.
That’s fine. Whenever I see a new post, I’ll advance the story on my end.
Speaking of fun, here’s my latest drawing of the Vixen.
Wow!
Kicking a dragon! The height of badassery!
I never thought something could make me hate school... but online schooling has finally done it... ^^;

Oh, yes! Don’t get me started!
I’m right there with my students’ opinion on the hot mess that is remote learning.
Yeah... well, it could be worse so I guess. I just hope its over soon.
Sorry, been busy for the Holidays!
Speaking o which...
Merry Christmas!

Thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Gah! Time is my greatest foe!
I should be able to post tomorrow!
oy, I wonder what kinda weather knocked out all the log ins! Anyway, I'll have an update after I get out of school tomorrow!
Cool! Looking forward to it!
I thought I’d add a helmet to my avatar, since the helmet seems to be necessary at the moment!
My 8th-Graders wanted my help with their ELA reading assignment today. It was the short story that inspired this episode as well as the character “Grandpa Rainsford.” I had never read it before, so I was really into it. (Both for the many similarities to my in-game experience and that it’s a damn good story!)
Funny... my thought all this time was to use the water to tracklessly return to the mansion. I was pleasantly surprised to be following what Grandpa Rainsford would have advised!
(omg just saw this now...)
Thats neat to hear! I love the tory (hence my creation of a mission about it!) And good ta know your heading for the water!
Mwahahaha!
Sorry I've been off for so long, I've been stuck in bed for the past week (caught something or another), but I'm feeling better now and can get back to writing! :)
by the by, I don't have much for the trip to the house so we can "fast travel" to the important parts if you want.
Glad you’re feeling better. The fast-forward works. I’ll try posting tonight or tomorrow.
Had guests over this weekend, so I was busier than I thought. Posted!
sorry for not posting in forever (I sound like a broken record...) This month has been the most stressful and depressing month of my life, but I think I'm coming out the other side now! thanks for bearing with me, i'll be back tomorrow!
Good to know things are looking up. Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to ya too!
OKAY!!! This is th last time I'm apologizing for not posting!!! I apologize for not posting more than I post! So don't let me do it anymore!!! (ps I'm beating myself up for not thinking to zombify the lion... :p makes what it is seem less "neat" in comparison!)

Well, I’m interested in keeping this story going to the end, if that works as encouragement.
On a side note, many of my Paizo games are moving in slow-mo now. I’ve been filling the void trying to create an RPG world/system, and a very kid-friendly idea sprang into my head at breakfast this morning. It stemmed from a conversation with my younger daughters. It somehow led to the imagery of a leprechaun escaping in a tiny elevator that is built into his rainbow—and that’s the premise: an entire world being rebuilt by a child’s imagination!
It will be even rules-lighter than [insert popular rules-light system here], and is somewhat inspired by the Dwane “the Rock” Johnson Jumanji movies which assign a short list of strengths and weaknesses to each player.
Sounds charming! But a world being rebuilt? What... What happened to it in the first place?
Jokes aside, I'd love to hear more!
I’m thinking of a world once overtaken by machines, so you’re rebuilding with the aid of fairies, leprechauns, mermaids, etc. and battles are typically against machines, so you’re not forced to kill or cause pain (but can still have destructive battles).

I don't want to sound like I'm just saying things, but that sounds truly inspired!
I know I would have loved a "easy" tabletop RPG when I was younger, just so I could share my creations with people, and a fairy vs. robots theme just sounds perfect!

I'd say look up the lands of Nimbus and Lumos City from the game Miitopia for some visual inspiration!
