Man, after that long time I am delighted that no troll here (like Slowpoke) managed to kill anyone from party yet.

On behalf of all the sane(ish) folks in this thread, you're welcome.

We can't bloodshape a skill...but...if we're trying to bloodshape soemthing to attack enemies based on blood...
bloodshape a flamethrower that uses hp as fuel

...hear me out here.
BLOODSHAPE A MACHINE WHICH CREATES SKILLS

-1 to the former because it's going to most likely hurt us more than it's worth.
-1 to the latter because seriously, that's not going to work on a natural 20.

-1 to anything fun

Yep, if you define "fun" as "trolling the game" then yes, I am -1 to fun.

Preach it!

If it was malicious it would be trolling. This ain't trolling. Please don't go around namecallimg in the thread.

Actions know no morality, no context. LordSlowpoke might or might not be a troll, but non-trolls can troll.


EmeraldWind's theorycrafting sounds interesting and plausible. We don't have enough evidence for me to call it, though.

Or possibly blood-sword. Or blood-flail. Or maybe blood-chain-lamp-flail.

The game was much less serious then.

Still...couldn't hurt to try.

I'm hoping the entire ship gets crushed into a black hole. And then nothing interesting happens, because really, black holes are not that scary.

Unless the ship has a planetary or ideally stellar mass, it's going to start emitting a lot of radiation if it turns into a black hole.
If it wasn't for Hawking radiation, it might help clear the surrounding area of garbage, or maybe it could be used as a gravitational lens...but other than that, yeah, not much. (Black holes are a lot scarier when they're bigger or closer to you.)

I'' have the turn up soon after I finish sending Ghandi troops.

Civ V?

Yes. He could have just walked out of the door.

...
Brilliant. Shame that Will wasn't around.

((not to Stella and Nuriel, the bombers are not actually in reach yet))

Confirmation, Sanure?
And if so, why didn't you tell me earlier?

Aren't wolves also megafauna? I thought basically everything bigger than a cat or so was megafauna.

Am I familiar with GURPS? In a word, yes.
In more words...well...I am very familiar indeed with GURPS. I know all the general rules and a fair number of the specifics.

like a dude who drives a taxi? Or an animate Taxi?
Something like that could probably be arranged, though I'd envisioned that one as being well past the date of the apocalypse, such that most everything from before was well and truly wrecked, and new societies had sprung up in their place.

He's a wreck of a taxi someone animated, which took on a life of its own after its creator's death?

Heres a basic storyline and a couple of details that should help you understand how the collapse came about. Go ahead and tell me what you think below, and feel free to ask questions.
In the future of our world, The Magic Came Back, or maybe just arrived for the first time, no ones quite sure about that. What they are sure about is that this was a catastrophe of unspeakable proportions. 99% of humanity died out in the first year from starvation, war, and predation.
The Event was an unbelievable release of magical energy that served to mutate many humans and other animals into monstrous forms, caused widespread disruption in weather patterns, and also rendered most machinery inoperable, due to magical interference. This led to widespread starvation and civil unrest.
Magical Interference: There is an ongoing rain of magical power from the sky. Unfortunately, this has the effect of causing random magical effects on anything that can't resist it. This very quickly makes anything vulnerable to it unrecognizable.
Etheric Identity: This is essentially a persons magical echo. It protects them from magical effects, and allows the person to manipulate magic. In mechanical terms, it provides a person with magic resist (10 free points worth, or 5 levels, which can be sold off as a disadvantage. This is a serious disadvatage!) or Improved Magic Resist, and for some lucky individuals, magery. Pretty much every living thing has one of these, as it's hard to survive without one, especially on the surface. Items that are old or handcrafted also get these, as do many inorganic land features.

Interesting.


Maybe you could combine your two ideas? Like, Earth's upper crust got shattered to bits by the Event and some of the bits got hit with mana that made them weightless?
