which aspect would you say is the most peaceful?

Probably Breath; part of wind and breath is being free flowing and chill

[classpect-hotline]

Do you think lords can participate in normal sessions?

That’s a tough question to answer. Lords (as well as Muses) are an all consuming sort of class, requiring full control.

That being said, I could see a more normal session where the goal is that the other players need to get their Lord to his questbed to ascend and face the final boss.

[classpect-hotline]

do you help people figure out their classpect?

That is a yes.

How would a session with a sylph of space, a Knight of void, a prince of time and a page of rage work out in the long run?

Oh. This one’s a doozy.

The Sylph of Space is one of the best titles for frog breeding. Literally any problem with the thing could be fixed with ease so long as they aren’t hindered.

Any session with a Knight in it has a lack of that aspect, but I don’t quite know what a lack of Void would mean. There could be a general radio silence from the horrorterrors, everything could be told to the players right off the bat, it could really be anything. This could be useful for assisting with the frog breeding, but would put everyone at a serious disadvantage when fighting. The other players the sylph would probably end up as bait while the knight stabs one of the bosses in the back.

The Page of Rage would have the traditional SLOW JOURNEY™ to truly finding Rage. Once they get there, oh boy. There is a 50/50 chance that they’d screw the session pretty badly. Basically all you need is to make sure they remain sided with the players and you’re good.

Now. Having a Destroyer Class of one of the Key Aspects is generally frowned upon, which is totally understandable because you kinda need those to win. However, the Prince class is usually in a session for a reason: there is too much of their aspect to begin with. So the thing with a Prince of Time is to make absolute certain they don’t destroy too much time, or the session is doomed to failure. Oh, and the time travel shenanigans are pretty much going to be tenfold here. Expect a lot of dead PoTs all over the place.

Hey I was wondering how a session between a mage of mind, a Sylph of Blood, a bard of rage, and a thief of doom would go.

Session wise? You most likely wouldn’t win. There aren’t any Space Players, so no Frog, and there aren’t any Time Players, so no Resets.

That being said, You might have some other issues, mainly with the existence of the Bard. Bards are wild cards, and Heroes of Rage even more so. The Mage or the Sylph should be nearby to keep an eye on them or to sabotage their quest if necessary.

The best bet to keep them all alive is the Thief of Doom, which is definitely the title to reach God Tier the fastest. If or when they do, its pretty much up to them to decide whether they win or lose. They would have the ability to steal the end to this Null or Void session and win with enough practice.

The Mage would be the best choice for leader, as they would know the paths to take for success. They’d be the go-to person for advice on important decisions, like any offered by the various denizens of each player.

The Sylph is the glue of the team. A Sylph of Blood would literally be able to patch up any relationship issues and become a legitimate healer as they scaled their echeladder. So long as they stay alive the team is almost guaranteed to live long enough to find a way to win.

Overall, not likely to beat the game, but it isn’t impossible either.

could there technically be a session with only prospit dreamers? the troll session had 5 prospit and 7 derse dreamers so could an all prospit session work too?

Technically the troll session had 7 and 6, because Aradia didn’t have an actual dreamself, and Sollux originally dreamed on Prospit. But it’s possible, although it would be a little bit challenging due to the lack of influence from the Horrorterrors and the constant cloud visions, and basically no inside info on what the Derse Royalty is up to.-Gem

[classpect-hotline]

Oh and one other person for that last ask’s fansession, a Seer of Time. The Knight and Maid are Derse while the Rouge and Witch are Prospit.

i know what you’re thinking. “WTF HOW TF DO YOU HAVE SO MNAY TIME PLAYERS” idfk also the Knight might be a hero of Time and not Doom, not sure yet. Very similar aspects.

I think the first ask may have gotten lost? The previous fansession ask that was answered didn’t have any Maids or Rogues. I also can’t find that combination of titles in any session asks in the recent inbox.

Hello I was wondering what the powers of a thief of heart would be

A Thief of Heart? Well, the literal answer is stealing hearts. They’d probably be able to get anyone they want, for what reason no one quite knows. Going a little deeper, they have the potential to steal the souls, personalities, and even abilities of their enemies. This could mean a lot of different things. A powerful Thief of Heart could have an army of empty husks, taking their souls to make way for obedience. Think the bad guy in a tv show who turns some of the heroes into mindless slaves.

In light of this new information, I think it’s important to remember that just because its “canon” doesn’t necessarily make it true. Your classpect is pretty personal, and no one test or explanation will be right on the dot.

For example, I got the suffix -Nius, making me a Hope-bound Prospit Dreamer. While the Moon is true (as far as I can tell), I have decided that I am in fact a Rogue of Rage. I was a bit confused at first, but then I remembered the Rogue Class’s tendency to seek solace in their opposite aspect, which in my case is (!!)Hope.

Its also very likely that you Destroyer classes get your opposite aspect as well. Thats probably normal.

You might have wondered about the symbols you’ve seen on the new HIVESWAP: ACT 2 trolls we’ve been revealing for the past few weeks. They’re not on the Zodiac you’re familiar with– what the heck are they? We’d like to introduce you to something we’ve had in the works for a little while now: the Extended Zodiac.

Wanna know what your true sign is? Take the quiz and find out which one of 288 signs is yours.

If your result moves you, you might consider commemorating your new-found personal discovery with a t-shirt from our fine friends at For Fans By Fans. While there, use code “HOHOHOLDTHEPHONE” for 30% off site-wide, excluding mystery boxes! That sounds pretty sweet.

On a side note, HIVESWAP: ACT 1 is part of Steam and Humble’s Fall Sales until tomorrow morning, Tuesday, Nov. 28 at 10:00 am PST. If you haven’t had a chance to play it yet, now’s a good time to buy it and give it a whirl. Pick it up as a Christmas present for your pals, too!

Hey I hope you don’t mind if I chime in too because wow I love it

So if I’m getting this right, the two sessions that were combined were:

1: Lord of Space, Prince of Life, Prince of Doom, Thief of Life (4 players)

2: Knight of Light, Prince of Life, Thief of Life, Lord of Doom, Witch of Time (5 players)

This is going to depend a lot on their personalities and relationships, but I’m pretty sure you’ll have a good amount of god tiered players by the end of the session.

Thieves like to be independent, come up with their own plans, and do things by themselves, even if it affects others (Meenah antagonizing the alpha troll players, for example). A Thief of Life especially is going to be VERY independent. Princes can either be overbearing (Dirk) or withdrawn (Eridan, Kurloz).

As for aspects, you have a lot of Life and Doom, and those heroes tend to have starkly different viewpoints. Feferi and Sollux got along all right because Feferi though Sollux’s doomy act was cute or something, and Sollux wasn’t complaining about anything substantial anyway. But if your players aren’t friendly, their aspects will make it even worse.

Agree with Glacier, those Lords are going to be able to control both physics AND metaphysics. So, uh, good luck with that.

We saw from Damara how powerful a Witch of Time can be, if she chooses to.

If that fan theory that a Knight’s session lacks their aspect is true, then yours certainly fits that. There isn’t much fortune to be seen in this session and that Knight is going to need to squeeze out every inch he can get. But Knights work best with a Seer’s guidance, and you don’t have any passive players here who might be able to take that role.

The Lord of Space’s frog-breeding quest will probably be much more difficult, as befits a Lord and the creation of their universe.

They certainly have enough raw firepower to take down the Dersite armies. The session will REALLY depend on how well these players work together.

How would a session with a Lord of Space, Prince of Doom, 2 Princes of Life, a 2 Thiefs of Life, a Knight of Light, a Lord of Doom, and a Witch of Time go? (The players are 2 sets of of opposite-alternate-universe-selves that were brought together via shenanigans, the sets being Lord of Space, Princes of Life/Doom, Thief of Life and Knight of Light, Prince of Life, Thief of Life, Lord of Doom, and Witch of Time.) Thanks!

aaaaaaah there’s so much

you have way too many princes to be reasonable. expect fucking up of shit. everyone will die and resurrect at least five times each. 

how did you even get a lord. what the heck. he’s gonna be able to master the very code of sburb so

i guess it would work? i mean lords are beyond powerful, and if he hacks the code to sburb then nothing would exist because time wouldn’t work (especially with the witch). would they even still be playing sburb?

poor knight of light. the only semblance of order. they’re gonna have a hard time because nothing in this fuckface of a session can be considered real, which is bad for light players.

Can you assign me a classpect? I've been trying, but I can't do it feasibly. I love science and want to be a microbiologist. I have trouble deciphering my own emotions and figuring out if they're real or not. I tend to be self critical and try to be perfect all the time. I get frustrated when I can't do something right or if I feel I didnt do enough to help someone. Out of my group of friends, i seem to be the moderator. My opinion of myself is lukewarm, at best. Thank you.

Heir of hear <> page of rage???

watch this relationship get more and more turbulent over time. if you’re the heir, prepare for exponentially increasing amounts of anger that your duty as a moirail is responsible for. it’s a big burden but the heir will do their best. they are the heir of heart, after all. pray that it is enough.

My professor handed out certificate she made for us with a "most likely to..." For fun, what classpect for some with most likely to: "Do all kind of things that make people think he's a genius or confuse the hell out of them. Either way HE knows what he's talking about; others will need to catch on-if they can."

Would a 2-player session with a Mage of Rage (prospit) and a Knight of Void (derse) work out?

no because there’s no time or space player

Hey, what are some quick powers for a mage of mind?

Simulgana

The Mage can experience the thinking process of any living sentient being they want for one hour. This includes gaining memories and experiences, but the Mage loses all knowledge of memories once the hour is up. Decisions made during the hour are very very hard to retcon, and the retcon is nigh impossible if the target being whose thinking process was simulated is dead in the original timeline. Do not simulate your Denizen.

Discriminate Logic

The Mage gains knowledge of a precise algorithm for predicting a seemingly random event, such as lighting strikes or consort encounters. The Mage can use the algorithm, but cannot share it. It is up to the individual creativity and resourcefulness of the Mage to use the mathematical formula in a combat situation (e.g. staging a boss fight at a precise location and time to have lightning strike the opponent.)

So uuuhh my fansession is kinda f*cked and i dunno if it's fixable?? The Prince of Doom accidentally prototyped her laptop with the SGRUB client disk. Then, In an attempt to one-up her, the maid of space """accidentally""" prototyped HER laptop with the SGRUB server disk (she's blackrom for the prince). The Bard of Mind tried to 420 blaze it with his sprite and ended up prototyping a blunt. The maid of time's future self tried to travel to a better timeline and fix things 1/?

The maid of times future self tried to travel back to a better timeline and fix things, but only had one shot at it because they were very weak from a huge battle. They arrived too late to stop the prince and maid, So they just waited for their past self to enter the medium then prototyped themself (future self). There are, astonishingly, more problems with this session, but what I've said is already a LOT 2/3(?)

Also the full session contains a Prince of Doom, Witch of Void, Witch of Life, Maid of Space, Maid of Time, Knight of Hope, Bard of Mind, and a Sylph of Breath. I know this is a lot to ask, and i understand if it's too much. But can you think of any ways this session could be saved? 3/3

Aw man I LOVE dysfunctional sessions. You’re welcome to send the rest of the story as a submission if you want!

Unfortunately I don’t quite understand what was bad about prototyping the computer with the client and server disks? Did the Maid’s laptop claim the Prince’s laptop as its client? (Please say yes.)

Someone should keep an eye on the Bard, not because he’s a Bard but because his drug-addled brain is just probably something that someone should keep an eye on. I vote the Sylph of Breath, cuz Breath seems like it should definitely include weed and the blazing of.

Maid of Time and her Maid-of-Time sprite should be fine, they both seem like good helpful people, even if MoTsprite seems like she needs to get better control of her time powers (she should have taken some, hey, TIME after that battle to rest up and then NOT BE LATE). It’s hard being a kid.

Maid of Space may have some difficulty focusing on frog breeding if she’s black-crushing on the Prince, so maybe an auspistice should head that off. Perhaps Knight of Hope can take that role since they’re likely to be helping with the frogs, unless the personality of one of the Witches is preferable for the role. It’s not an easy role, after all.

I’ll hang on to the other 2 asks in case you respond about the laptops (and also because I’m on mobile rn).
