so... ahem... bump.
Please don't abandon this game.
It was, like, two hours since the last post and less than a day since the last update. Patience, padawan. And if anyone has the right to call people padawan, it's me.

eat the poisoned troll skin poison-free meat and wash it down with a few drops from the mystery vial.
my merfolk+dragon experiment.
Let's start with these.

But yeah, GM concerns.

The GMs have already said that the Powers are nothing like Black and White, they are both more of grey. They can be as 'evil' or as 'good' as they want, the powers simply represent a specific element/theme of life but they aren't technically restricted to act as one would typically think that element/theme works. At least that me summing up what DH told me yesterday.

That was kinda part of my point. Also, starting with "black and white" was just convenience; most people would have had no clue what I meant if I started with "The universe isn't just purple and yellow" or something.

Paradoxally, having several pairs of Powers would make the conflict more "saturated", to keep a colourful metaphor. There will be alliances, no question over that. Order and Virtue, for example. And they will emphazise their common points. They will become more white and less grey. By limiting the conflict to a single pair, you leave a very large field open. The players will fill that field with broad, grey-ish powers. And I trust Bay12 to come up with interesting and unusual depictions of Sin, Virtue, Order, Chaos, Decay and Growth.
Of course, if the Powers were roleplayed correctly, Order and Virtue would separate once their differences became obvious--Order may support execution of a criminal, Virtue would not, while Virtue would be fine with certain activities that Order would put a stop to. In addition, any two Powers so close would have their opposites be about equally close, for obvious reasons; Chaos and Sin would share a good amount of common ground. In any case, many Powers wouldn't be associated with things that ping on the "good/evil" axis, especially how Bay12 interprets them. Remember Donut?

If you want to base it off of something, the 3.5 D&D SRD is available online and should include more than enough for a starting point.
link.
This is good general advice, but while plain dnd is good at representing high-fantasy settings, it's actually not that good if you want a space/sea battle (or even just modern/spycraft, settings were you're expected not to charge a machine gun with you katana.)
I didn't mean to copy it 100%, just use it as a basic system.

You think this is a big RtD?

Look at piecewise's other masterpiece, Einsteinian Roulette. It has two threads which dwarf this one and a new third one which is still pretty small.
This one moves much faster, though.
Is this surprising?

((Oh, and hey, he's moving again!))
((?? ??? ??))
((You were standing around, waiting for Feyri to do something you could follow, for several turns.))
((both Feyri and Lyra are female, which left me confused who you were talking about))
((Do you expect me to keep track of who everyone is? That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I had actually never connected you with "Lyra," and had always imagined your character as a guy for some reason.))

((Feyri is a good surrogate big sister.))
((Or a good surrogate mother. Similar skillsets required, I suppose.))
((...Wait...))

We've got one vote, and two people who cast their votes in with two different people who haven't voted.

Yay.

Find out what exact kind of spacecraft I have become.
[1] The broken kind.

EAT THE CAKE.
[5] Delicious!

Rip the fish's soul out and stuff it in Xantalos.
[4] Soul extracted. [3] Soul Superglued on Xantalos. Cheesecake stolen, presumed eaten.

Gather a army of demons, angels, etc.
[2] Sorry.

Go kill stuff, etc. Respawn if necessary.
[6] You respawn as a half-fish thingy. This leads to suffocation. Respawn?

30998
Well...

However, there's no 1Hit KO scenario possible.
Challenge acc-aw crap, you're on my side aren't you?


I'm kinda sad that Xantalos's nation might be abandoned, but the bird might be interesting to play with. Where does Ziz live?

Marijuana is legal too, depending on jurisdiction.
Touche. I suppose that I'd be a bit more lenient with that than, say, heroin.

But in any case, support 1 and 6.  Don't do 5, because it may be useful for other simply bad toxins.
I can't help but be amused that no one has suggested the obvious solution to the toxin-screening problem.

So we're definitely giving the statue intelligence. We're also making a food-maker and animating a painted cat. We may also paint the cat to animate it (why did painting a cat get more votes than animating the painted cat?) and/or sniff paint.

Update coming, but I really need to stop doing FGaR and work on a paper.

I just downloaded that game! Now to try it out...

31003
Is there any reason we can't have multiple pairs of Powers? That's what I had imagined. And if you don't mind, I'd like to try my hand at something like that.

Or, of course, if he wants to keep a good image and doesn't see them as a threat.

We should look over anyone he wants to save and advise him on his decision. Actually, we might want to do that for all the soldiers...

Pull a what?
he is going to create countless, innumerous amounts of threads, and posts; until he becomes the most well known B12 veteran
Somehow, I don't think that's what he means.
