#rpg structures

[pete-darby]

"this ttrpg is so revolutionary, unlike those fuddy duddy mainstream ones!"

"cool, who are the PC's?"

"a group of specialists confronting evil! Evil is things that upset the status quo of the setting!"

"oh, wow."

"it's inspired by these cool sources, none of which are anything akin to this structure!"

"but of course."

These games can be great fun, don't get me wrong. But there's sooo many of them, and bless everyone doing something structurally different.

Have you played DEATHGRIND!!MEGASTRUCTURE ?

By ostrichmonkey-games

Play as different POST_human FORMATS as you delve the dangerous LAYERS of the TOWER megastructure and explore the factions of the CTY_enclave, the massive habitat on a crash course through the TOWER as it flees the ever-encroaching FRACTALDEATHMACHINE.

Greetings, Omninet!

This is the official channel of Northstar Galactic Command. Northstar Galactic Command (GALCOMM or NGC for short) is a proactive security force owned by our parent company IPS-N (@ips-northstar-official). Our mission is to provide robust naval assets and services to assist with the transportation and reactive defense of clients, goods, and resources outside of the Galactic Core.

Don't have the manpower and logistics to operate your own warship? No problem! NGC vessels are owned, maintained, and supplied by IPS-N, and operated by professional IPS-N crews. Just sign on the metaphorical dotted line and a NGC battlegroup will be at your disposal for as long as you need it.

Already have your own fleet, but need some extra support? We've got you covered! NGC crews and vessels will integrate seamlessly into your existing command structure, whether at the ship, battlegroup, or fleet level.

Think of us like mercenaries, but a lot more dependable. As the Northstar name implies, IPS-N has been humanity's guiding light since the earliest days of Union, and our brand is synonymous with reliability. NGC is proud to continue that tradition: we've got your back no matter where you are or what you need.

In the coming months we hope to spotlight some of NGC's ships and battlegroups, as well as the crews and equipment that make them so exceptional. If you can't wait, however, you can find our full catalog here.

If you are looking for asset protection that is proactive rather than reactive, we highly recommend our sister company: Trunk Security (@ips-n-trunk-security-official).

This account is maintained by an AUNTI-series administrative COMP/CON, to better allow us to monitor developing opportunities and respond to high volume requests. Oversight is provided by a skilled NGC representative with extensive field experience.

Got a question about NGC or a story of how we helped you? We'd love to hear it!

Did you have a negative experience or want to provide some constructive criticism? We'd love to hear that too! Just let us know your exact location and some Quality Assurance Specialists will be dispatched to ensure you have no further complaints.

solved the problem of almost being at the end of SDOL by simply not watching SDOL. i have been translating the ordem rulebook for three and a half hours. i'm on page 15. having a BLAST

[styx-class-nhp]

Aahh... alright... [drawn out hiss.omf] something is wrong...

Ah... that last hunt...

I didn't... didn't think that creature bit quite so deep.

Evidently I underestimated it.

Why can't I regenerate my way out of this...?

[neramontagueofficial]

Filigree designs are done!

[postlimniae_parade.omif]

[An image of Postlimniae, a Mourning Cloak with a design leaning heavily toward an image of an armored knight with large amounts of draped blue and marigold yellow fabric over the plate. Over the fabric is complex filigree in silver. The design resembles the patterning on moth's wings, with an "eye" pattern to the inside of the design but otherwise plain, and the outside made up of complex floral patterning with several other motifs worked in. Of note are the Pathfinder's Lantern, the Wolf, and stylized blades.]

I'm actually quite pleased with how this turned out. It's a bold and unconventional design, sure, but I think the way that it turns the cloak into folded wings is quite fetching, and provides a nice contrast to the more intricate and filled in designs that I am seeing on the others.

Time will tell with reception, though. Our first parade is soon, so I will have to update you on how that goes.

>BEGIN:::

STRELITZIA: You turned him down?

TIMORRE: Of course I did.

STRELITZIA: Of co— What do you mean 'of course?'

STRELITZIA: Timmy, girl, if my dad offered that to me I'd take it in a heartbeat.

TIMORRE: He didn't—

STRELITZIA: He could redo my whole name and I'd take that. No qualifications. Done.

TIMORRE: He didn't actually offer me anything.

STRELITZIA: Come on. He drops Dellamar on you and then asks for the itty bitty favor of not being an active reminder of that scandal? Dude with no clear heir goes—

TIMORRE: [crosstalk] I'm a reminder of the scandal regardless.

STRELITZIA: —'Nera, please make your titles not have to qualify that you're a full member of the house, for me winky face'—

TIMORRE: [crosstalk] He did not wink either.

STRELITZIA: And you think he's not offering you access to the line of succession? Are you out of your fucking mind?

TIMORRE: I think he wants me to think that.

STRELITZIA: Good idea when you're offering someone something, go on.

TIMORRE: He could be fucking with me, and besides.

TIMORRE: I don't actually want to be an heir.

STRELITZIA: Oh shit.

TIMORRE: Don't look at me like that.

STRELITZIA: Blink fucked you up real bad, didn't it?

TIMORRE: I didn't want to be an heir before that, asshole.

STRELITZIA: Because the Timmy I know is the one who spent all of Ganymede schmoozing with the Navy brass to make herself look an itty bit better.

TIMORRE: Dunno what that has to do with anything.

STRELITZIA: The Timmy I know faked her last public relationship in order to get public approval.

TIMORRE: I never should've told you that.

STRELITZIA: If Asteria asked old Timmy to knife me right now you would if you thought it would win a teeny bit more of her approval.

TIMORRE:

STRELITZIA: Not all at once.

TIMORRE:

STRELITZIA: Actually. Shit. You want her position, don't you.

TIMORRE: No,

STRELITZIA: You never wanted House Montague, you want les Fulgurites.

TIMORRE: Why would I—

STRELITZIA: She's like, young. Doesn't get deployed, you know that, right? You'll be in full before that job opens up.

TIMORRE: Yeah, obviously.

STRELITZIA: So like, how do you plan on making her retire?

TIMORRE: I'm not, Strel.

STRELITZIA: Sure, but hypothetically, if you were?

TIMORRE: I would be out of my fucking mind. I'm asking to retire right now.

STRELITZIA: So like, no, you're not, you're asking to desk jockey,

TIMORRE: Not piloting,

STRELITZIA: But still les Fulgurites, and also do you know what's a great idea to force retirement?

TIMORRE: You're still assuming that there wasn't a ploy there. The point of the Parable of Dellamar is that he chose to concede to get an advantage on Passacaglia, not that he accepted some kind of offer where the advantage was promised to him.

STRELITZIA: Yeah, but if he was doing that he would probably have like. Said what he's offering.

TIMORRE: The whole rest of the test was implied.

STRELITZIA: Also the part where you pass the test here still has him losing because you haven't done the one thing he keeps asking you to.

TIMORRE: I'm not sure that he actually cares that much.

STRELITZIA: Sure he doesn't.

TIMORRE: He hasn't ordered me to do it yet. If he really wanted me to he could.

STRELITZIA: Would you?

TIMORRE: Probably. It would be a massive waste if I were to do all that to get back into the House and throw it away here.

STRELITZIA: Yeah you keep not t— Fuck.

TIMORRE: What?

STRELITZIA: Misplaced the anchors on this side.

TIMORRE: [laughter] Do you need help redoing them?

STRELITZIA: Please.

Battlemap : Poste de garde

Les PJ infiltrent une forêt en territoire ennemi quand ils tombent sur une structure dans les arbres, occupée par des sentinelles. Ils doivent passer, et l'alerte ne doit pas être donnée. Cela permet soit de mettre en scène un combat à deux étages, soit de faire une séquence d'infiltration au tour par tour avec les rondes des gardes.

***

Battlemap : Guard post

The PCs infiltrate the ennemy territory through a forest, when they find a structure in the three manned by sentinels. They have to go through, and they can't afford their presence to be reported. This can lead either to a two-level battle, or to an turn-by-turn infiltration scene with the guards' patrols.

I tripped and rewrote the entire schedule system to allow for greater variation and replayability. Classes are now scheduled entirely at random, aside from two swaps you are allowed to make at the start of term. You might get a really great schedule, with all your classes spread out evenly, allowing you plenty of time to get work done... Or you might end up with big blocks of a single class back to back, meaning you have less travel around the school (and fewer mal attacks), but you must also rely on other students for help getting your assignments done on time, particularly those that require lots of lab hours.

You do get to redo your schedule completely at the start of each new term (January and August), so even if you end up with a really rubbish schedule, it's only temporary.

thinking about the sith shrine in the depths again, with special note to:

the blight is attacking the back wall of the chamber of the sith shrine in the depths. i don't think that the chamber that the jedi acknowledge as the extent of the sith shrine is the extent of the shrine. i think it's an antechamber.

because the architecture isn't correct. a truly sacred space is within the temple, is separated from it. it's a second enclosure. a ziggurat has its on the top, after successive levels and outer rooms. a peripteros has its portico, then the entrance chamber, then the interior chamber. even rock-cut temples have a division between the 'lay person' area and the 'priests only' area. look at the interior of the only sith temple we've seen: the tomb of darth bane on korriban (in rebels, they went up outside of the temple). there's the great chamber in which his coffin sits but also the coffin moves to reveal the sacrificial chamber, the sanctum sanctorum of that particular temple (which is probably several millennia old, since zannah isn't going to stick around to build her old master a whole-ass temple on korriban, especially when they're supposed to be hiding. also the lettering on that sarcophagus is gibberish, which fits more as a 'these letters are magic, we don't know what they do, but they're magic so we're putting them here' way that writing is treated when it's still a very new invention. so a very new importation by the exiles).

not to mention that it allows the whole 'no one has set foot here for 5000 years' from tarkin to be accurate as well as the jedi of the high republic using the shrine to purify objects. what they think is the inner sanctum is not the inner sanctum. the inner sanctum is behind that wall, and whatever is behind that wall has enough of the living force imbued in it to be the focus of the blight. the blight spreads outward from it.

anyway, that's my ted-x talk on the sith shrine in the depths.

i had logged out of tumblr because i was doomscolling and then went to browse my usual cashe of shitty recommended articles about mtg card price spikes and random video game news, and i saw that the new dnd handbook disallows some of the famous letter of the law exploits (like teleporting items with hundreds of npc in a chain) and... brother if you want stupic technical rules exploits then why are you playing dnd when mtg is right there. they put oodles of dnd into the game anyway so you don't even have to change your preferred aesthetic
