So in my RTD game, I've got a player who hasn't been posting actions for a while and he's starting to get left behind by the party.
There is a battle going on outside between a friendly airship and a goblin balloon, and a stray cannon shell blew a hole in the wall. The two party members with him have went on ahead and just entered a room with two goblin crossbowmen, a couple rooms away, what should he do?
Light himself on fire, go on the deck of the airship, launch himself onto the goblin balloon, use his own flaming body to set the balloon aflame, die gloriously.

The airship is too far away. The balloon is too far away. He has no way of launching himself. Other than that, I'll keep this in mind.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Not quite enough distance for that.

What if you just sit on the powder room and drop a lit torch?

Because they haven't found the powder room yet.

...I like how, on Bay12, people who fail to post seem to end up with something horribly violent happening to them.

Gracias mi amigo, though I probably won't stay long.

Yes, but if you don't post, it happens intentionally.

That's half the point of this thread.

Alright, TIoM again. We have one Jill Wonder, a young, somewhat psychotic English woman who is having a tea party with a couple of friends and a fish-woman she shrunk down (long story). Someone is wanting to join; someone is spreading vines over the tea party. What will she do?

Brew vines, shrink them first if possible.

I've got two to figure out.



Firstly, we have good ol' TIoM again, where Squintage the Tinkerer (who has a big polehammer that fires off beams of magical energy) is on the top of the mountain.



Secondly, a new little game called 2D Tribe, where the players play a little band of tudies as they try to survive in an unkind ocean. Xom is an orangish tudy that just saw a massive predator enter the area.
