  2. it is finally averaging high 40's here after 4+ months of below freezing
  3. SheShe officially took ownership of the thoughts, she is now the DM for the in-system adventure. It's going very well and she's written over 9000! Words in the adventure novel. A lot of it is just Bear and Gwen interacting. Gwen is under the understanding that since it is a fantasy, "anything is fair game". We haven't decided if "what happens in a fantasy world stays in a fantasy world" or not. Though it's been made clear that if someone dies in this realm and for whatever reason can't be resurrected, they're out. So group diversity is important. SheShe has promised to help the story along but won't pull any punches. We have canned quests from online to work with that are detailed and well written as well as books we bought. This is the story we've been waiting for, so the book Bear was working on has been put on ice after 40k words and he promised I'd be in this one SheShe is writing. I like it a lot better too because yeah, plot armor doesn't apply. This is a no rescue wilderness hardcore game. It's simplified realism too so it's very homebrew. For reference, resurrection services are sold when available at a rate of 1200gp or so. It requires a 500gp diamond in 5e. That's a lot of gold considering the loot table inducates that's going to take a very long time to accumulate. Needless to say, this is the pinnacle of our tulpamancy career.

    Crafting 1. You have a finished item in some cases this will tell how to make it. The materials can be bought or made. Necessary tools are required. 2. Things are assembled with thread, straps, glue, interlocking the materials etc. Glue isn't uniform and glue can be improved and made to be strong if you spend enough time, again days, weeks, years as part of a backstory or an apprenticeship. 3. Some things required capital equivalent like a leather strecher can be made but a forge generally requires a lot of knowledge and years of use to understand how to reproduce. A blacksmith could easily design his own but wouldn't be a brick layer or know anything about a kiln or what brick materials would even be needed. 4. Research may require scouring libraries or talking to artesians or working as an apprentice or being taught by a master over weeks or months at least. 5. Quality is then a mark of someone who is familiar and has made many. The learning system applies 1d20 to 1d4 over many crafted items but could be learned quickly, over the course of 10-100 items. First quality is junk ot ruined, the materials going into it are wasted, a natural 1 at any time creates ruined. A natural 20 makes one level of quality up and will forever after make that level the default. Passing 1d20 the next is very crude 1d12 crude 1d10 comes out normal, fair condition 1d8 comes out good condition 1d6 comes out new condition 1d4 comes out fine. Inspiration and other modifiers may increase quality. [omg that's enough, it just keeps going]
  7. "Ooh, tulpas. That's cool. I wonder where I can find info about tulpas..."

  9. Back to back posts, sorry. Was thinking about some stuff last night that I wanted to talk about, and then we switched, and to quote him "switched and forgot everything you were thinking about -J". At least he wrote me a note haha. We're trying to start writing more notes to each other to see if it makes the amnesia less noticable or something. I'm not sure. Anyways what I wanted to talk about is how we switch vs probably how y'all switch. For me, I usually have non-possessive switches, where "I" "become" the part I'm switching to. Hence parts of a whole for my fronters. I still have some amnesia between my parts, though, which is generally my biggest indicator of a switch. I very rarely get possessive switches, which I think is closer to what most people aim for with dissociating and switching like that? I really only have that happen if someone who's generally more of an inside person takes the front. Which almost never happens for me. I'm always fine with answering questions about how I switch, if anyone is curious. I was also thinking about innerworld / headspace / wonderland, whatever you call it (I've always called it innerworld). It turns out I do technically have an innerworld. I've spent the past two years assuming I don't have one, so it's a bit weird to think that the void I see actually is an innerworld in a way. And it's changed over the years, which has only become noticable now. Funny how I never noticed the void went from a grey color to black until now. Interestingly enough, it's quite a large space for just the small number of us. While I hold no power over it, I think it's very possible that one of my system members could definitely shrink it into a manageable size On the same topic, internal location. I saw this in someone's PR (it was an old one). My system members all present in specific spots internally, not sure if anyone else experiences this. For me, there's also a sort of depth to it, and there's closer or farther from the front, right, left, center, etc. When someone's presence moves, it's generally a big deal because it usually means a role change. Generally I "see" everyone internally when they're talking and if I'm paying close enough attention. I'm a terrible person to talk about internal presence and visualization and all that because I am the one of the least connected to our innerworld. Makes me very stable person and terrible system member. - A (taking over the PR part 3)
  10. Is this server still in use? ~Skadi
  11. Anything is possible, except that. The next person is vegan.
  12. Yeah, the clouds really brought it out as the focal point. That, and the angle from which you took it from.
  13. Last week
  14. Thanks! We're all around - I just have more trouble "finding" the others ^.^"
  15. My experience was similar, minus imaginary friends part. Normal is subjective! My system & I also have a lot of things we like or don't like that are very individual to us. It's cool to see the differences between system members. Good luck to you and Midnight. Tell her I say hi :) - A
  16. Some random Discord snippets: I think that's real profound ^^ ~Skadi
  17. I'm going to skip the obvious ones like Adolf Hitler and those sorts. I would erase Yigdal Amir. He was an Israeli extremist who assassinated a prominent Israeli politician who was close to negotiating a final peace agreement with the Palestinians. The agreement was never reached and more than 30 years of continued aggression since then brought us to the bloodshed that's happening there now. What political leader did you most trust?
  18. That’s a hard one. If we’re talking about parks as a concept, I’d hate to not be able to enjoy sightseeing. Gyms, on the other hand, are at least more practical as a fitness option but really lack that natural feeling. Then again, I see a lot more people go to gyms over parks, and I could always run on sidewalks anyways. Unless the sidewalks count as parks, in which case I’ll reluctantly use the treadmill. Imagine if we just stuck with that, marathons would turn into rooms filled with treadmills and runners. Ketchup or mayonnaise?
  19. That makes sense. It is a bit of a shame that this forum's server is gone, I believe that's what Skadi was asking after. In any case, if you want to add us there, it's just legion.clan We do have a server, but after some nasty raids, we no longer share the link in public spaces, like Disboard or web forums. Anyway, thank you very much for the warm welcome. -Princess Isis
  20. You have a nice face, and I really like your art :) -Ayella
  21. Yo these are all really hecking cute, keep it up ^_^ ~Skadi
  22. These are all super cool OwO Ours is a huge island, located in Hell, under a sky that's red instead of blue, water creeping up the beaches and crashing into rocks all at once. Every member has a home, there's a gym, a few private beaches, a dueling arena. Dusty largely handles building. Ayella acts as our Jarl, always being kept in the know about what's happening inside and out, and if need be (read: drastic circumstances), she can directly make decisions for us both in headspace and meatspace that override our initial plans. Lots of different types here, from earthlings to demons to Aesir, etc etc, which means a lot of different styles of home. Homes can range from small apartments to large keeps, depending on each individual's tastes. For example, Erik and Isis, two of our teens, recently moved in together, and now share a villa, while "the 'Cule," our word for the largest polycule in in the system, resides in smaller, very close apartments together in one building. It's... big and complicated, but we have a really hecking big system ^^; ~Skadi
  23. Aw, thank you so much!! :D -Ayella

    No, they just played around years ago but now that we're in a play-by-post and having a blast, we figured we could do a parallel in-system run with just ourselves. DnD is surprisingly addictive and there are pre-made campaign books that make being DM and players in the same system easier. RP is RP otherwise, but the game aspect and danger of your character dying makes it fun. 5e is more user friendly they say, but it's still a huge learning curve. Over play-by-post there's lots of time to think and look stuff up.
