Only one low roll and yet all of your creations defy you! :D
Well, I guess that's how it goes. Two things are guaranteed, entropy and free will.
And Fire.
And Sunlight

The steering wheel is nowhere to be found, but I have been enjoying the scenery.

There is an element of that in Driftwould, since some actions require no roll, and consequences are naturally less bad if you're not trying to directly effect very much. Doing things with your own body, convincing other creatures, and utilizing what already exists is less risky than big acts of magic and creation, at least in theory.

...But mechanically there's only those two levels of difficulty: d6 or no roll. Could be expanded on in another game. Would allow for more reliable strategy while bringing more chaos and flexibility than the traditional godgame method of "spend your allowance to do the thing".

It says vermillion was active today, should I try to contact and ask them to post or something?

Maybe my asskicking really banished them to the shadow realm

Slightly tied up lately, but I'll try and get turns in for a couple of things. Starting with this, probably.

Shed the shell. This form was made in a time of cold and darkness. Such is no more. Set aside upon what remains those weak and infirm, lest they be caught in the churning of rebirth.

Primary Action: The frosted tips of Fragment's shell shatter, magmatic flows emerging from somewhere unseen. One carrying a ring of ice in it's steps, now heated enough to burn the seed nesting deep within it's core.

Secondary Action: Figure a method by which to use Justice to balance the.. mild swings of Fate.

Yeah yeah. You want an update, or just to put the thread higher?
