The rumour had always persisted, fuelled by whispers of past atrocities, that only a primarch could kill another primarch. Perhaps it was even true.

hi every pony! i got a new cam from twilight!

[sir-tarhos-et-compagna]

So are you also a cannibal? Do you eat human meat like Bubba?

"I am unsure. Some of the meat I ate could be from humans. One way or 'nother, I see no wrong in feeding on humans here. We art dead, we reside in that astounding but hectic daemon pit of a realm, and we may hath nothing better to consume. For some reason, I am still hungering, and even my men show desire to consume as well. Maybe that goes to fuel evil spirits granting us powers."

(I can't draw but I wanted to do a rainbow factory ask blog since rainbow factory is one of my favorite things in the fandom. Outside of the original series and FIM that is. Anyways I hope I get some asks)

*absentia's scratches the back of the head near her collar. The small orange filly moves her purple mane out of her eyes as a camera is adjusted to stair that her. Absentia is sitting in a small uncomfortable chair*

Absentia: W-What are we doing?

*a voice comes from behind the camera*: an ask blog, that should be obvious, or did you hit your head in another escape attempt.

Absentia: no rainbow dash, but this is stupid!

*absentia glares but starts to shake in fear

RD: I could always throw you into the pegisus devise if you prefer.

*absentia shakes her head*

RD: that reminds since this failure absentia here has made another escape attempt, any suggestions on a good punishment, one that won't kill her.

Lancer RPG

pfft, your mech is your dead mom's soul? well MY mech is co-piloted by Cthulhu!

Touchstones: Armored Core, General Mech Media

Genre: Mecha, Tactics game

What is this game?: Lancer is a tactical TTRPG focused on mechs, and the folks piloting them, with a sturdy "Gameplay over Realism" mentality to its game design

How's the gameplay?: Lancer is a tactical RPG using primarily d20s for attack rolls and other problem solving, it's primarily based on the tactical combat rules of Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition, however it is mostly its own thing, with new mechanics, simple but fun character creation, and a high focus on quick and aggressive combat rather than lengthy and Defensive combat. in effect imagine character creation as going to a subway (of mech parts) and picking your ingredients, with a mech's frame being your choice of bread, and combat as an SRPG of your choosing but everyone is in giant mechs

Out of Combat is a bit different, to the point where I didn't even bring it up during my first draft of this! the Out of Combat rules are deliberately bare bones, you can very easily insert straight up a different game in there, or mod it to be something else. But I wouldn't recommend it, as the rules by themselves are 100% useable, fun, and blend into the combat portions pretty easily, Lancer is fully aware of this, and the lack of out of combat depth is partially covered by the KTB book, which gives characters simple out of character skills

What's the setting (If any) like?: Lancer throws you into a world where mankind's either solved, or is close to solving, most of the issues back on earth... too bad we also colonized other planets 10k years ago! Now, while Earth thrives, planets outside of it struggle with poverty, imperialism, dictatorships, and human and non-human rights issues, Earth tries its best to help, but they're stretched very thin. Lancer also has many small details to its setting that are way too in-depth to get into right now, but a major one is the existance of non-human people, eldritch beings strapped to computers in order to create effective and fully sentient artificial intelligence

What's the tone?: Lancer's tone is generally speaking, hopeful. Empires are mighty, but there are people fighting, and they will be toppled, mankind's horrors have attempted to wipe out entire species, but survivors remain, and secretly thrive. While there is some doom and gloom and grimdark stuff, especially with how the highly unethical and wicked corporations are treated as necessary evils for enterprising pilots, but overall lancer is a setting where no matter how bad things get, there will always be hope

Session length: A few hours, it depends on how mean your GM is, generally speaking however combat heavy sessions will only run you around 2-3 hours, with RP sprinkled in between

Number of Players: I generally like to recommend around 4 or more, but I'm sure you can do it with less

Malleability: While lancer's mechanics are pretty hardset in its setting, the existance of Beacon RPG and how at its core its very much a Lancer hack does show that Lancer can be hacked into differing settings, a very popular one I've seen is Magical Girl Lancer.

Resources: Lancer's primary resource is Comp/Con, it effectively serves as a do everything tool for lancer, allowing you to manage characters, encounter, and homebrew, while also having a very slick and easy to use UI Lancer also has many pre-made modules, of... varying quality, Siren's song and Solstice rain are pretty good, Wallflower is very good but the encounters are of mixed quality, and it's not great for introducing people to the game in my experience

Homebrew is also fairly popular, new frames, NPC types, Bonds, and modules are all pretty popular, my personal favorite being Field Guide to Suldan and Field Guide to Iridia, I also enjoy Field Guide to Liminal Spaces though that one's a bit on the "Be Very Careful" side

Overall, lancer is effectively THE indie ttrpg, being quality, fun, and affordable, with the core rulebook being 100% free if you just wish to see the player-side content, it's a great time, and everyone who's interested in the indie ttrpg scene should check it out at least once

The Feast of Pigs

A Grimdark Tale about an experience Terra Lavee had in her own universe while dealing with another domain.

Based on a nightmare I had a long time ago, I've been waiting a long time to write it out and I finally managed to do so... for RP reasons.

Still It's a piece that symbolically and literally shows how Lavee operates herself when dealing with treachery and depravity within her own universe and shows why some other Domains are out to get her.

Text version down below

“There was a time long ago where I had sought to infiltrate a wealthy domain to whisk off their wealth to those newer rulers who were struggling. Hordes of gold, but especially troves and troves of food from fertile fields that filled their gluttonous stomachs. More than enough to share, enough of a reason to take matters into my own hands.”

“Only when we got there my followers and I came to find a domain bleak and barren. Her citizens clothed in rags and little spoils to their name. Pantries and grocers empty. Completely unlike the stories of opulence and a gilded city I had been told of.”

“My curiosity took over as Farol and I inquired to the townsfolk what had happened to their once mighty home. We were told stories of the royals having found some sort of ‘delicious secret’ that would make them even richer and stomachs fuller.”

“At first they required all of the wealth of their citizens. Which they obliged. Then all of their crops… Lastly, all children of school-age be taken to the castle so that they could be “trained” and this would be the key to unlocking the ‘secret,’ which they would share to everyone.” “Before they knew it, the royals had bunkered themselves up in their castle with no word in ages. Fertile fields sucked dry with no returns. Their citizens soon became malnourished, neglected, and forgotten as not a single child remained within their numbers.” “Something was wrong. Anyone’s alarm bells would be going off. So naturally I snooped more.”

“The castle was more like a fortress, locked up like a prison, but of course we snuck our way inside. There we saw what we had initially expected, glistening and lustrous excess, coated from floor to ceiling that would make even Versallies blush.” “The deeper we went the more we found storeroom after storeroom of fresh food. No expense spared to preserve and prepare it. Kitchens lined with cookbooks and tools ready to prepare any kind of meal imaginable. From the surface, one could see that they were greedily hoarding all the food for themselves. Leaving their people to suffer and starve… but that wasn’t the true source of their sudden withdrawal from their subjects.”

“No words can describe the horror that befell us both as we discovered the largest and most expensive butchery we had ever seen. Within was meat unlike any I had seen. It did not take long for me to realize what it was.” “Not pork, nor poultry, nor beef, nor seafood, nor venison, nor rabbit, nor lamb…” “They had been slaughtering their own kin and consuming them.”

“So gluttonous and mad in the minds of a gourmand that they became addicted to the fresh meat and bone of their young. A taboo and morally bankrupt delicacy so out of control evidence suggested they were considering tricking other domains into sending their children for the slaughter.”

“Oh… Had I not felt such a pit in my stomach in a good long time… and I was going to make them pay. In the only way I sought fit.”

“I hurried back to Libertalia to make preparations for the coming morning. This time I paraded to the foot of their castle with my followers, offering a hand of peace and trade in a “time of need.” My offering? A vast and expansive feast fit for only the most ravenous king. Their souls practically watering over the dishes only a witch of my kind could create.” “They rushed inside in hopes of no peasant watching. They did not even make it to their own banquet halls before tearing into the meal. Despite their expanded stomachs and stained bibs prior to my arrival they ate like they had been starved of even the smallest of crumbs.”

“Together Farol, my followers, and I simply watched as they devoured entree after entree. So entranced in their animalistic feeding that they did not even notice as their bodies began to contort and take new shape. The food was a trap, enchanted with true polymorph. Every last royal, from the domain ruler to his court, slowly took the form of the swine they truly were, and by the time they realized what had happened our own knives were upon them.”

“Much later I returned to their people and delivered the bitter, yet honest news. Those fortunate children spared from slaughter were returned to their waiting parents. Yet I opened my arms to the now orphaned people, their tormentors were gone, and I offered them a gift to ensure my sincerity.”

“A feast. Even grander than the first to fill the starving mouths of the people betrayed by the ones who were supposed to protect and nurture them. Now jubilantly dined on the finest pork they had ever tasted. Many wept for the first good meal they had eaten in ages. None the wiser to the fact they were now the ones who finished off their traitorous royals.”

“For the lowest form of depravity one can be driven to by gluttony, no greater punishment was there than to be torn apart and feasted upon by the ones they had stolen from and betrayed. Thus I came to call it ‘The Feast for Pigs.’”

Lmao. your response to my vaguely threatening ask in sorta-grimdark.

-Pawnon

ooc: what, were you expecting a davepeta rp blog to respond in the most expected way? no, we like to do the unexpected over here. here, we like to run flea circuses, play detective, and shoot the shit here on Badly Drawn Davepeta. There's a dick hidden in the header behind my icon that no one has pointed out yet. Things stay silly here (until i decide otherwise lmao)

honestly i thought the funniest way for davepeta to respond to scary potentially eldritch grimdarkness was to have them not notice it. for the lulz, ya know?

He holds his tongue. When Moon Knight’s on a team, he tries to mind his manners. Reputations like his bring a lot of assumptions. The cryptic phrasing, sarcasm, and commentary is shelved. Leave his own baggage, the need for control in his personal life and solo operations, at the door. Do what had to be done. Serve. Cap had seen what Jake-and-Marc-Moon Knight had been doing since they came back from Mexico. [Commentary for this entire post, please, only enough space in the ask box. :P]

Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written, and stick that selection in my ask/fan mail. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what’s going on in the character’s heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track. | Accepting! [what is rp]

The post in question!

Darn ask box and their limits. I'm also slapping a read more on this because wow so many images, so little time.

Aight. From the top. Secret Avengers is an interesting time in Marc's life. This is him 'on parole' and finally what should be hope after the grimdark days of the aughts.

Marc's mostly familiar with Hank and the then current X-Men stuff by whispers and rumors. MK (1980) #35 has MK reach out to the X-Men for advice on how to handle a mutant who was dedicated to murdering dancers who defected the Soviet Union (as one does). But that was, shall we say, years ago.

Y'know. Events where MK hangs out in the background happened. So Marc doesn't really know much besides him, Hank, and the rest of the Secret Avengers are hanging out because Cap trusts them enough. To Marc, yeah, Hank's big blue and brilliant but Hank also doesn't have the same background as the rest of this merry band. Hank isn't a spy, or a soldier, or a thief. Normal people don't really exist in Marc's orbit like they do in Steven and Jake's.

Speaking of those events where Marc hangs out in the background, Marc never really knows what's going on. He's usually the last to know, doesn't keep track of everything at large, and is just there to punch people and give ??? looks. (see @/age-of-moon-knight's "where's moony" tag). A lot of those bigshot writers aren't really familiar with MK so they either lean on ableist language, reference Marc tearing faces off, or give him a sort of 'Deadpool in white' characterization. Here's some good ones.

Strange (2022), #5. Writer: MacKay; Penciler: Ferreira; Inker: Poggi; Colorist: Tartaglia; Letterer: Petit

Infinity Wars (2018), #3. Writer: Duggan; Penciler and Inker: Deodato Jr.; Colorist: Martin Jr.; Letterer: Petit

Original Sin (2014), #1. Writer: Aaron; Penciler and Inker: Deodato; Colorist: Martin Jr.; Letterer: Eliopoulos

Annnnnd now the era we're focusing on! -_-

Secret Avengers (2010), #16. Writer: Ellis; Penciler and Inker: McKelvie; Colorist: Wilson; Letterer: Lanphear

Secret Avengers (2010), #19. Writer: Ellis; Penciler: Lark; Inkers: Gaudiano and Thies; Colorist: Villarrubia; Letterer: Lanphear

He is glib. Usually. During Secret Avengers, he's rather….subdued. Taking the remarks as they come and keeping his head down. Trust, it does come back later. Part of it is because well, let's look at how from 2006 to 2011 went:

MK tore Bushman's face off in a mix of vengeance, fear, rage, and disgust. Between the horror of what he did and the extensive injuries, he took a comic two year break. 'Khonshu' as "The One Who Lives on Hearts" (I treat him like an introject) wearing faceless Bushman form, feeding Marc's aggression as he makes it back into street level.

Staying on the sidelines during Civil War.

MK (2006), #8. Writer: Huston; Penciler: Finch; Inkers: Miki and Crimelab Studios; Colorist: D’Armata; Letterer: Caramagna

Marc's had a need to micromanage his entire operation since the early days. Steven and Jake would do their information gathering. MK would either be separate from any of them or Marc clearly would take the wheel and do his own thing. Marlene would invite herself along (and be vital in saving the day). Frenchie would fly the mooncopter. They'd deal with Marc's anger. Later on, this leads to Marc suppressing or requesting Steven and Jake go dormant in order to handle their life that gets increasingly dedicated to His Duty.

MK (2021), #14. Writer: MacKay; Penciler and Inker: Cappuccio; Colorist: Rosenberg; Letterer: Petit

Sure, Jan. The longer Marc keeps his hands and only his hands on the wheel, the harder the struggle is. Steven and Jake poke holes and tear down Marc's internalized ableism (as they have before).

Ironically, Frenchie was once more cavalier, saying MK should kill people or they should run out the mooncopter cannons on muggers.

Marlene starts off by saying Marc shouldn't kill people (that Marc is the past and Steven/MK is the future). She then switches positions in the 90s. 90s!Marlene thinks Marc should have killed Bushman and is frustrated he won't kill because of his merc past. 'I hope you grow up before someone kills you.' People change. I can see her like. She used to think Bushman didn't need to die and that MK was Better Than That. She's also been afraid MK was a "benign monster." And now this. I think part of it is how she helped shape MK as much as the system and Frenchie and Bushman did and is eating at her. Plus, obviously, she doesn't want Marc to get hurt or die. By 2006's run, they've had enough of it. While they come back around to supporting him, they also have big problems with how he's operating.

This is the run where Marc carves moons into people's foreheads. Steven and Jake appear in one issue; they hadn't popped up since.... Ehhh. After volume 1 of MK, they show up in West Coast Avengers, in Moench's mini-series after the disaster that was MS: MK, and sometimes in other books like Black Panther, Hulk, etc.

In the end, Marc's big bad tries to control the city and Marc shoves him off a building, killing him. This leads S.H.I.E.L.D. et al. after Marc. Eminem is played. Marc almost dies.

(classic Moon K.night-Core)

Marc fakes his death and Jake goes to Mexico. However, this version of Jake is written like a 'clean slate' MK who feels more like Marc than Jake. I treat it as co-con, where Jake and Marc share control and skills rather than New Jake.

Jake comes back from Mexico and starts to clean up the MK reputation. He doesn't carve moons in faces. 'Khonshu' becomes tiny and impotent. Marlene comes back around. She proposes to Jake. A baby on the way…. Cap sees the progress Jake-Marc have made and offers him a spot on the Secret Avengers team.

Secret Avengers (2010), #1. Writer: Brubaker; Penciler and Inker: Deodato Jr.; Colorist: Beredo; Letterer: Lanpheare

Which leads to things like this...

Secret Avengers (2010), #21. Writer: Ellis; Penciler: Immonen; Inker: von Grawbadger; Colorist: Sotomayor; Letterer: Lanphear

Fucking Randall ruins a nice personal life. Marlene leaves for good. Which sends Marc further down the spiral into self-isolation, need for control, and neither Steven nor Jake pop up until 2022.

Marc's had A Lot of Bad Doctors. (And we haven't gotten to the doctor in 2014 who tried to take Khonshu from him and try to kill him yet!). He's a terrible patient. 2016 opens with him in an asylum, which isn't quite in reality. But the threat and the fear is very real for Marc. He's trying to behave, get good grades in superhero rehabilitation.

Anyway. At this point where Hank easily makes a car a nuclear weapon, Marc picks up on the moral event horizon nature of it all. Because he's been there. MK's whole thing is Second Chances because Spector died when a seed of compassion sprouted during the merc days.

[shinyjiggly]

what is sbarb dungeon crashers? it sounds v cool and like smth id be interested in but i wanna learn more :]

Brief History:

SBARG 2.5 dungeon crashers is a mostly discord based roleplay thing with both casual everyday stuff and occasional scheduled events. It's the most recent iteration of SBARG canon, which had begun with the SBARG arg/rp that had started over ten years ago, continued with a more session-focused campaign with SBARGv2, and continued on with the interquel SBARG 1.5 lost pawns, past claiming the ultimate reward to fill in important parts of the plot that hadn't been fulfilled.

Lore:

SBARG 2.5 dungeon crashers takes place after the events of all those past campaigns, and is largely focused in the Gene universe, which had been cursed to either never have a succeeding session, or only have sessions with a recursive ultimate reward that only leads back to Gene.

It is here that the ex-players of SBARGv2 (and those that have allied with them) live, trying to be responsible adults and protect their home together.

Standing against them, is the hellish corporation VoidCo, which has placed countless soul draining "dungeon cores" across the cosmos, to leech off of the countless civilized worlds that can be found in Gene. Based in the furthest ring, they are lead by their CEO, Dylan, a thousand year old grimdark page of void. He is known for his erratic and often violent behavior (and it's honestly a miracle that he hasn't made the company go under yet)

To counter the evil acts of VoidCo, the Dungeon crashers organization was formed. Their de facto leader is a Witch of Time by the name of Katyleen Kitten, who is also the president of the Desertia system. Under her leadership, the dungeon crashers seek out dungeons where the dungeon cores have been placed, in order to destroy or otherwise deactivate them.

When not crashing dungeons however, the crashers have their daily lives to attend to. Many of them have day jobs, some of them should positions of power, some of them train pokemon, and some raise families. Some even do a bit of interdimensional travel on occasion. No matter what though, the Desertian government usually provides for those who ally with the organization.

Gameplay:

During non-event times, proceedings are largely freeform, with dicerolls optional unless requested. Time runs in realtime or adjusted realtime, with time on Desertia assumed to follow Central time zone. Various common locales have different amenities, such as food, shops, lodging, and methods of long distance travel. much of it is flavor or narrative table dressing, but can be leveraged for slice of life scenarios.

During event times, there will be an event runner, which is a role that anyone can potentially take on if they schedule an event. do note that events must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, and have a description of expected significant contents, especially if they are expected to have significant effect to anything that has been narratively claimed/defined by another person. Dungeon crawl events are one of the types of events that can be ran, but they are certainly not the only kind.

Running a VoidCo dungeon:

There are countless ways to build and run a voidco dungeon as a dungeon master. the main thing to remember is that a dungeon is defined by the presence of a dungeon core. Everything else is variable to your needs. Will there be puzzles? will there be combat? will there be an inexplicable timeshare meeting? that's up to you to decide when you act as a dungeon master. is it part of an established location? is it an introduction of a new one? what did the place used to be before it was a dungeon? what sort of financial quackery did voidco inflict upon those who called this place home? These are all questions worth finding answers to.

Combat and confrontation:

Combat is rather fast and loose, but often makes use of a d20. fancier rolls (such as those that involve advantage rolls, slight additions, side subtractions with additions that somehow add up to 20) are recommended to be figured out by the players, as rolling a raw d20 is often going to result in action failure. The exacts of how rolls work largely depend upon narrative reason, and can be discussed as needed, due to the sheer open customizability that cannot possibly be handled by any amounts of tables while still focusing on writing. usually, one must roll at least over a 10 or half maximum roll to succeed, and descriptions of actions taken are expected, taking any applicable rolls and scenario details into consideration.

As of note, less violent methods, such as persuasion and such, can be handled with or without dice contest (dependant on the discretion of the event runner or other person involved), and likely will focus on the content of the significant speech or actions in order to determine results and reactions.

If an event is being ran on Plit, refer to dnd 5e rules and hope that you brought a filled in character sheet.

Pokemon battles:

These can either follow the fast and loose style, or make use of an online framework, such as pokemon showdown. because pokemon of all kinds are potentially allowed (yes, including glitch pokemon, fakemon, pokemon from the card game, custom formes, and whatever else within narrative reach), those that cannot be defined in an official game will likely need to use the fast and loose combat scheme. a pokemon may only have selection of four different moves during a battle, and ability to dodge is determined by move accuracy/pokemon evasiveness. some details can be fudged as agreed upon by your opponent, but concrete things such as type advantages, move effects, and the like are set in stone. don't be afraid to play up terrain effects, however. as expected, a winner is decided when all but one side are unable to battle or have otherwise forfeited.

If you wish to battle a gym leader, please schedule with the one playing the gym leader. 24 hour event wait need not apply, but the gym leader's personal schedule should be respected.
