Fire and Blood Edition: Tell me about the times your character had come into a land not as adventurers, but as conquerors. Who ruled? Who bent the knee? Who swore fealty to whom?
Also, I hope you enjoyed the Pathfinder Society, because they are now IN THE FUTURE
Bentley Cox
Reminder that only Celeb apps will get into Ensoulment. Everyone else, prepare to be NPCs.
Sebastian Morgan
of course the pathfinder society was going to be in the future, why wouldn't it
Kayden Lee
You can't fail to get into games if you never apply
Owen Butler
>Okay, I'm listening. Suggest ways he could change that would maintain his knightly persona while respecting a fuckin' soul-terrorist academy right in his lands. Even if he changed gods, no self-respecting Northerner would suffer Necromancy to not only live, but flourish in their lands. Again, you know what happened the LAST time people said Necromancy was "alright?" You got the Whispering Tyrant, why don't we ask Kyras (a worshiper of Iomedae) how that turned out. >I hope either Andrik kills Antoinette or Antoinette kills Andrik, bending your character to literally violate their deepest beliefs in the name of "party cohesion" is hideous.
It does present quite the OOC quandary. I'd be curious to know what the DM's rationale was, or how they thought their way around this scenario in their head.
Noah Jones
I'd be finer with being an NPC.
It's better than never getting any games at all.
Christian Campbell
Who are the most likely celeb apps to get in
Michael Thomas
I'd wash her face and do her make up.
Aiden Young
Reminder people say that about every game and it's usually not true. I can't think of any /pfg/ game where ONLY celeb apps got in, but I guess it's possible one slipped past me.
Also, slipt, slipped, is there a difference in proper usage of them?
Anthony Rogers
But if everyone is an NPC, they've got free reign to PM and be PMed!
Carson Ortiz
I'm just teasing the guy from the other thread.
What kind of Android and Robot person are people thinking of playing as?
Ryan Jackson
Slipt is archaic, slipped is the equivalent modern usage.
Lucas Carter
Have you ever played a Blinkling, /pfg/?
Robert Garcia
I think they're referring to PFS-style play, not the actual Pathfinder organization.
God knows people don't need to put up with those artifact-stealing psychopaths for however many millennia.
Isaiah Lewis
>I'd be curious to know what the DM's rationale was, or how they thought their way around this scenario in their head.
Shit, who knows? Sadly that bell can't be unrung, so they're either stuck with working out a sloppy jury-rigged excuse or watching a character die.
Sebastian Rivera
Here's my guess. >Wow, that sure is a lot of text >This guy must be an amazing writer >You're okay, get in
Owen Garcia
Even if it meant getting your innards pulled out for divination?
Nicholas Bell
The barbarian tribes follow the strong. Using old barbarian hoard rules you could amass a huge army for a short period of time if you were the mosty heavy built barbarian in the land. Its a long, long story, but it ended with conquering too much land and then this capital city in a glorious barbarian siege
Thomas Diaz
>blaming Slow for chuuni necromancer fucks
That's not even close to fair.
Jordan Williams
I wasn't. Antoinette's app was unconscionably long and mostly empty fluff.
Jackson Roberts
A lot of /pfg/ apps are
editors would puke at the purple prose.
Daniel Murphy
Who does actual good writing, though?
Don't say someone who gets talked about all the time--no Slow, no Disk, no Protagonist.
Isaiah Gomez
>That poster implying that any of our autism is high functioning.
Chloromancer! A healslut crossed with battlefield controller. Has only seen the light of theorycrafting, not the harsh reality of playtesting, but that will change.
Mason Cruz
No one. We're all terrible.
Next question.
Brandon Taylor
>killing useful servants You can buy slaves to kill. If I had someone to clean me and make me look sexy, you bet I'd keep those innards where they belong.
Dylan Cox
Short, concise, punchy writing that gives you an idea of the character.
Slow actually fails in this regard occasionally
Austin Gutierrez
Isn't this based off an MMO or something?
Ian Thompson
Chloromancer from Rift was the inspiration, what of it?
Ayden Butler
You're making a lot of assumptions about your expertise as a servant in those fields, user. You may not measure up to existing assets, you know.
Eli Reed
>mfw even if I'm not memeable in the slightest, I can at least be proud of how I've had writing be called out specifically because it was concise, but still managed to have detail while covering everything
now all I have to do is get better about personalities
Sebastian Moore
I will never understand the appeal of Slow.
John Barnes
Game of thrones is a popular series.
Jeremiah Ramirez
I'm gonna meme you when I find you
daddy memes
Jaxson Fisher
>[7:59 PM] Luci: I don't have babies because I can't find anyone who interests me, it'll be hell on my body and also I have to deal with a screaming wreck for 16-18 years. Does this mean Kino's author is a girl?
Wyatt Garcia
Slow prevents full attacks. The other penalties are minor, really.
>copying text from the discord How much of a shithead are you, seriously? Oh, and of course it's deleted when someone mentioned you posted it from the discord. How quaint and shitty of you.
Ayden Wright
He's a good guy, but then, most people around here actually are.
The only reason he has any amount of notoriety is because he's still coasting on Casimir's dad memes. His writing isn't all that stellar, his characters aren't anything unique.
He's a celeb player who is famous for being a celeb player.
Jason Hill
>check Golden Chalice >literally four apps that don't fall under the race requirements, probably more
at least the new one isn't a roll20 rando
Oliver Butler
>He's a good guy, but then, most people around here actually are.
It's true, everyone I've actually spoken to is really nice with exactly one exception (you know who you are.) The difference between people and Anons is really striking, but I guess psychologists have studied that sort of thing a bunch for exactly that reason.
Charles Ortiz
He had appeal before he started apping for /pfg/ games, /pfg/ liked him for telling off SKR on the messageboards back when SKR still worked for Paizo. He went by Mr. Bubbles, and eventually got his account banned over some nonsense. That happened way before /pfg/ started running games, and got him popularity points for being a martyr.
Man. I remember when we still had SKR around to bitch about. Wish I kept some of those screencaps.
Caleb Jenkins
How much does Slow self-shill, anyway? I guess what I'm trying to ask is, does he try to "stay" a meme or is he just sorta doing his own thing?
Benjamin Price
Unironically Broodie, Ryoko's first person writing reads smooth as fuck.
Cameron Miller
Water balloons
Sebastian Foster
literally wist
Easton Nguyen
I don't think he tries to stay a meme
Luke Ortiz
Wist too, yeah.
Liam Myers
I don't know who I am user, are you talking about me?
Ayden Butler
DHB xDDD
Angel Allen
It's impossible to say. I'm tempted to guess that he probably does his share of ironic shitposting.
Adrian Collins
No, DHB overwrites really bad
Seriously Jericho is a DISASTER
Jaxson Myers
>All these filtered responses
Michael Peterson
>WATER BALLOONS
Brayden Kelly
Sappy, Adam, and AnonMD are pretty good. Delta (back from RotJR) was also pretty good.
Nathaniel Morgan
Can someone post the list of currently recruiting games?
Aiden Anderson
Agreed, though user is highly inconsistent.
Owen Myers
How many people around in /pfg/ now do you think were around back then?
Connor Gonzalez
That's the joke, notice the xDDD yeah I think Cornelia is well written but fuck Kawase needs to CUT DOWN on the purple. In fact there's so much purple prose in his stuff that you can argue it's no longer purple. When EVERY line is flowery and ornate and as long as your average postgrad report sentence, none of them are really 'breaking the flow'.
Sebastian Hill
Rory isn't the worst of us, he's just really forgettable
I know I was. I remember the wrist mice, even the playtest for PoW 1.
Brandon Brooks
Kawase's shit is 100% purple prose, make it stop.
Colton Cruz
Yeah but like is it even purple prose anymore? Can something count as being purple prose that "distracts" and "breaks the flow" when the entire flow is ultraviolet?
Gabriel Flores
I probably am!
Kevin Nelson
It just means I could remove all the extra junk and there'd still be nothing there
Robert Stewart
Are you the guy that was getting on 2hu for purple prose? I've literally only heard that specific witch-hunter, or reponses to that witch-hunter use the phrase 'purple prose'.
Brody Powell
>How much does Slow self-shill, anyway? Some here will say he is the only person in the thread talking about his characters, others will say he doesn't want any extra attention due to the anti-slow shitposts that will ensue. There's really no telling unless he comes out and admits to aggressively self-shilling like Rory did, that's the joy of the anonymous lifestyle.
Juan Lewis
Is it Rory?
Xavier Diaz
No i've never even played with 2hu, let alone seen a 2hu app
Samuel Gutierrez
Sorry, I just hate you all so much.
Anthony White
Pretty interesting so far, I like how control seems to be baked into the class and how mutations change it up a bit. Tho it being Wis is kinda weird. While yes, nature is a big part of its theme, the way it gains it's power from the fluff makes it feel like it should be Cha based. If only because its origin sounds similar to that of a sorcerer or oracle.
pretty cool so far tho
Ryder Lopez
>there'd still be nothing there No, be fair now - most of his apps are actually good once you drill pass the floweriness of his writing.
Caleb Young
>mfw user's name rose and fell without him ever caring
Ayden Garcia
So! How was your weekend, /pfg/? Do anything fun or exciting, game-related or otherwise?
Daniel Edwards
Uh-huh. Sure.
Adam Price
He also misspelled the Princess' name in the salutation of CCC's letter. If Protag is serious about running these apps like the Princess is reading them, she should go into the reject pile just for that.
Dylan Cruz
But the floweriness is just pointless shit, it doesn't help
Purple prose isn't just prose that breaks flow, its excessively flowery text that isn't USEFUL
Ethan King
My weekend was fucking terrible, as always.
Brody Morris
Went for an all nighter to fix my wack sleep schedule and played a game with friends the following morning. Not bad.
How bout you Fenn?
Camden Gutierrez
I first lurked in late '08, though my regularity varied pretty wildly for seven years or so, Satan.
Bentley Roberts
Well, i knew wasn't an Int class, so I had to decide between wisdom for the nature theme, or cha for the self-powered aspect. I ended up going with wis because I didn't want it to also be a party face, also I just did the Cha-Magus
Wyatt Martinez
Are you Vult. It's pretty obvious he's talking about Vult.
Logan Ward
No, really, I think 2hu is an ok duder just he can't control his autism
Brandon Morris
My PCs are being cool to the NPCs and having some fun interactions with them! I'm wondering if some of them might even start living up to the campaign name soon ;)
Liam Mitchell
It was okay, but it's getting worse and worse, I yearn for the simplicity of yesteryear but it will never come.
Jaxson Jenkins
Yeah but removing all the extra junk leaves you with a nice app, not "nothing" Kawase take not clean your shit up I want to see it happen but it's just too fucking big right now
Matthew Anderson
I will attest that he's not the only one shilling for him because I shill for him all the time.
John Flores
I do too, but some anons will never buy that people like you or me could possibly be anyone but Slow samefagging like a champ.
Ethan Powell
Do you shill for other people too? If not, why him and not others?
Adam Davis
t. slow
Evan Jackson
Fucking Why?
Dylan Reed
Are there other magics that are unethical like Collectives?
Cameron Edwards
People shill for most of the celeb players. I'm guessing most are people who have played with him in /pfg/ games who shill one another in a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" capacity.
