... s'been mentioned several times over in GD, some of it even recently. Just started (yesterday) finally buckling down and reading the actual web serial after having read a good half million+ words worth of fanfiction. At 7.7 right this minute, so a bit less than a quarter of the way through if the arcs maintain roughly the same size.

And yeah, as usual for its sort of thing, a decently done superhero style universe leaning toward the gritty could make for an absolutely incredible base for a game. It's just, y'know, doing it

Incidentally, changing the thread title to something like "Thoughts on a text RPG based on Worm?" might be a good idea. I popped in to look thinking you were bringing news of one's existence.

I, uh. I i uh...

... D&D players out there. Are... are gricks supposed to be able to laugh? Because, ah.

Ok, point on the major chaos power thing, and the prince was a former space marine. But what is chaffing? Term for a space marine going to chaos and deciding to blender the everything?

I think you all need a musical lesson.

"Oh lawd, thank you for playing a hippie video. Now I know I'm wrong and I'll go hug twelve trees and play my guitar so Mother Nature forgives me."

Ha ha ha. There is no forgiveness in Mother Nature. Only roots. Long, spiky, invasive roots.

Music only makes them grow longer.

Bloody hell dream brain, I'm entirely unsure what to think about waking up to cheesy sci-fi romance lines. "I have deemed my homeworld worthy of destruction" "W-wait! No, don't!" *cups face* "It is worthy of destruction, because it does not have you."

Among the worst of things is hitting a title and then not really being sure how to run with it.

Still.

"Louise de la Valliere and the Littlest Diablo."

Because I'm not sure what exactly would happen if Louise summoned a 6-inch tall Lord of Terror, but I imagine it would be something wonderful.

Bluh, why does Maeve abandon my elf for killing a fleeing myconoid?  She's chaotic neutral/evil!  And they can't even accept terms.  The same action did knock me down from NG to true neutral, but I don't know why she'd mind.

I'd... well, I'd guess because it was a non-chaotic act. Somehow. Maeve doesn't like those. She's chaotic neutral/evil, yes, but the emphasis is on the chaotic more than the neutral/evil part.

And yeah, the early game counter to tanglefoot bags, is, ah. Probably that initial three dimdoor potions. Or being a gnome. Which... maybe? Start as a gnome priest of <something with a strength domain> to pick up Enlarge (go Zurvash, passion/pain/strength. Passion/pain is the best melee build domain choices.) or a Thaumaturgist for the same, then go heavy armor warrior with innate free action and large enough to manage decent shields and whatnot. Could also dip druid 3 for woodland stride. Or ranger, and get a nighthunter mount -- flying junk is immune to tanglefoot nonsense. Plain fighters are... well, they have one of the roughest times of any of the classes. They're pretty decent once they've got the equipment to deal with problems (like tanglefoot bags, or terrain in general, or heavily buffed casters, or [...]), but getting that point is rough.

E: *fistpump* Done with my initial pass of arcane spells! At least the ones noted as unstable several versions before Boss J's development stopped. And excepting Distance Distortion, which has some stacking/permanence issues I need to actually test out a bit, but... not tonight.

E2: Jeez, I had forgotten how ridiculous /produce flame/ is. It is sillily useful for a first level spell. Especially when your giant bat is machine gunning them at things.
