<Forgery> $madlibs familiar
4:09 AM
<[ATM]> the spirit of a Lizard
4:09 AM
<•Thalia> Which goblin pool does it take from?
4:09 AM
<Forgery> Are they mostly spirits of animals?
4:09 AM
<Antioch> There's one more category in there that hasn't shown up yet.
4:09 AM
<•Thalia> $madlibs familiar
4:09 AM
<[ATM]> the spirit of a Tiger
4:09 AM
<•Thalia> $madlibs familiar
4:09 AM
<[ATM]> the spirit of a Moose
4:09 AM
<•Thalia> $madlibs familiar
4:09 AM
<[ATM]> an elemental of Radiation taking the form of a Eagle
4:09 AM
<•Thalia> ...nice
4:09 AM
<Antioch> There's only "small goblin", "animal spirit", and "elemental".
4:09 AM I imagine an eagle-form radiation elemental would have the mannerisms of Liberty Prime.
4:10 AM
<Forgery> I think its just America incarnate
4:10 AM Nuking any threatws
4:10 AM
<•Thalia> Well, I could never go to Japan with that familiar...
4:10 AM
<Forgery> Or you could only go twice
4:12 AM
<•Thalia> $madlibs pacthobo
4:12 AM
<[ATM]> Amorous Bix Gurdy practices City Magic with an implement of new chrome refrigerator.
4:13 AM
<Forgery> $madlibs pacthobo
4:13 AM
<[ATM]> Doomed But Wonderful and Unyielding Struggle Against Her Fate and the Inherent Nature Of Life On Earth Julio-down-by-the-schoolyard O'Houlihan practices Evangelism with an implement of golden gun.
4:13 AM
<Forgery> Campaign of this would be fun
4:13 AM
<•Thalia> The Golden Gun!
4:13 AM Who gave that to a hobo!?
4:13 AM
<Forgery> I mean, look at that name
4:13 AM They need a golden gun
4:13 AM especially as an evangelist
4:14 AM <Kippyster> woah that's my cousin's full name that's crazy
4:14 AM
<waxpapers> that's honestly a very appropriate evangelist name
4:14 AM
<Antioch> 12:14 <[ATM]> Incorrigible Davey Oppenheimer practices Blood Magic with an implement of salt, for flavor.
4:14 AM That tracks.
4:16 AM Once I get home I'll give the real thing a bit of better polish.
4:17 AM Cam|Driving → •Camtist
4:17 AM <•Camtist> ...that’s a lot of pings
4:18 AM
<Antioch> I think your application was being complimented numerous times, Cam.
4:18 AM <•Camtist> Oh, cool! Thanks, y’all!
4:18 AM
<Forgery> It was
4:19 AM
<Wildboo> One interesting thing I ran into was that a vast majority of people chose the first or last option given.
4:20 AM
<Forgery> Flexibility or Power; it shows what people prefer\
4:20 AM <Kippyster> i think he me the cards
4:20 AM *meant
4:20 AM
<Forgery> oh
4:21 AM <ColdGold> Yeah Cam people like yours
4:21 AM
<•Thalia> Camtist, same.
4:21 AM <Kippyster> bow, if someone chose the middle card, would you push it to the side when you put the character sheet link on the table?
4:21 AM
<Antioch> Were the cards presented in numerical order?
4:21 AM <Kippyster> rolled order, iirc
4:22 AM im not sure exactly but people who had different cards could have them in different places
4:22 AM but it may just as well been numerical
4:23 AM
<Wildboo> Numerical order, yeah
4:23 AM <Kippyster> there we go
4:23 AM
<Antioch> The priority stats skew towards front and back, I think.
4:24 AM Social, Guts, Brawn, Ath are good picks for this sort of thing, in that it's a pretty social setup, and survivability is a character design priority.
4:25 AM
<•Nick> My second two cards were pretty similar as a 13yo
4:25 AM
<Forgery> I prefer being witty
4:25 AM
<Antioch> Are the "double stat and random penalty" cards all lined up near the back?
4:25 AM
<Mallmann> Bow, I chose the one in the middle but pushed it to the right
4:25 AM <ColdGold> I got Ace twice
4:26 AM So I trusted fate and chose it
4:26 AM
<Forgery> I'm disappointed no one rolled triples
4:26 AM could've been cool
4:26 AM
<Mallmann> Oh, wait. I thought you meant the archetypes
4:26 AM
<Antioch> Odds are pretty low there, I think.
4:27 AM
<•Nick> 49^2 right?
4:28 AM
<Wildboo> Spaced out, anti
4:28 AM
— Antioch nods.
4:28 AM
<•Nick> 1 in 2401
4:28 AM
<Forgery> Nah, 50/50
4:28 AM Either happens or it doesn't
4:28 AM
<•Nick> Thanks forge
4:28 AM
<Wildboo> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lGxn91hwXyUrIqQVHclNPVIVd4NevzvSe9gZ4pnZNG4/edit#gid=1130455924
4:28 AM
<Forgery> Any time Nick
4:28 AM no perms on that, boo
4:29 AM
<•Nick> I can see it
4:29 AM
<Forgery> So is color of name box primary or no
4:29 AM Yeah, it works now for me
4:29 AM
<Wildboo> Name box is a blend of the two colors
4:30 AM
<Antioch> Oh, dispositions is filled out. Nice.
4:30 AM
<Forgery> So how did drawback box get decided?
4:30 AM
<Antioch> I had a thing in the works for generating capes for specific dispositions.
4:30 AM
<Wildboo> Is a circle - R O Y G T B V - furthest one away from the two stats is negative.  If it's between one or two, then is more opposed to primary.
4:31 AM
<Forgery> Ah
4:31 AM Neat
4:33 AM <•Camtist> Oh, Shadewalker: I probably won’t be able to play today. Turns out I got even more stuff to do once I get back to Gainesville, and traffic’s been slowing me down along the way. Sorry X|
4:35 AM
<Forgery> What did people think of the discord applicants, btw
4:35 AM Seems no one really mentioned them
4:35 AM
<•Nick> I didn't read most of the apps
4:38 AM
<Olivebirdy> Heya
4:38 AM
<Forgery> heya Olive
4:38 AM <Ryneron> Hey olive
4:38 AM
<Forgery> Bow's asking for thoughts on the apps
4:38 AM If you wanna share your favorites
4:38 AM
<Olivebirdy> Has 'bow gone over my app yet?
4:39 AM I haven't read them all.
4:39 AM
<Forgery> Bow, as far as I know, hasn't gone over yours
4:40 AM
<Olivebirdy> My mind mostly goes to the ones talked about here the most.
4:41 AM I like specific beats of different apps, yeah? Like 'replacement goldfish' or 'empty cig box' or 'impersonal expectation of victory'.
4:42 AM
<Wildboo> Yeah.
4:42 AM Beats stand out.
4:42 AM Orph is equivalent of being martha stewart's kid.  I can see that being interesting, especially if Orph picked a more sinister practice.
4:43 AM
<Forgery> Which did "Impersonal expectation of victory" come from?
4:43 AM I recognize the other two as Ry and Marr's
4:44 AM
<•Thalia> I already know which practice I'd want.
4:44 AM
<Forgery> I have ideas, but I'm not sold on any singular one quite yet
4:45 AM <Ryneron> I have ideas about what kind of practice I'd like, but there's a lot that would suit or contrast my pc
4:45 AM As opposed to any single one
4:45 AM
<Forgery> I think its best if you don't choose one until its too late, the way its set up
4:46 AM <•Camtist> ^
4:46 AM
<Forgery> Preferences feel almost... cheaty here
4:46 AM With the emphasis on family practice
4:46 AM <•Camtist> And likely to let you down
4:46 AM
<Forgery> Also, I think I know which Thal is aiming for
4:46 AM If its the same one brought up yesterday
4:46 AM
<•Thalia> ...which was brought up yesterday?
4:46 AM <Ryneron> Heartless
4:46 AM
<Forgery> Happiest Scourge in the World
4:47 AM Spreading the Abyss out of a belief its a good thing
4:47 AM Camtist → •Cam|Driving
4:47 AM
<•Thalia> Oh yeah, happy scourge
4:47 AM <Ryneron> Or was heartless another time?
4:47 AM
<Forgery> Don't remember heartless yesterday
4:48 AM Oni maid was friday
4:48 AM
<•Thalia> Oni maid already exists.
4:48 AM
<Forgery> yeah, ik
4:48 AM
<•Thalia> I shall never be forgiven for unleashing that on the world.
4:49 AM
<Forgery> Makes me wonder if neko shaman/druid is possible
4:49 AM Becoming one with the cat
4:49 AM
<•Thalia> Nyah~
4:49 AM The GM would kill you.
4:50 AM <Ryneron> I certainly would
4:50 AM
<Forgery> What a catastrophy
4:50 AM <Ryneron> Rocks falling from the sky and all that
4:50 AM
<Forgery> Ry, you're lucky I haven't pulled that out with Rachel yet
4:50 AM :P
4:51 AM
<Wildboo> Althain and Ur's sheets are hard to pull much from.  Hm.  Working up from the bottom since I've read & reread the top ones a few times now.  Will go over 'em all one last time.
4:51 AM I know Kippo sounded hyped.
4:51 AM
<Forgery> yeah
4:53 AM <Kippyster> damn
4:53 AM Kippos' val is nonbinary
4:53 AM ive been outkipped
4:54 AM
<Forgery> But if one of you is the fake, how can I be the original Forgery
4:54 AM :think:
4:54 AM <Kippyster> we're both real
4:54 AM im just /better/
4:54 AM
<Wildboo> Tricky thing about Kippo's sheet is the parents aren't really laid out - character is ok, but I don't get much of a sense of what might come out of a conflict or inter-character dynamics.
4:55 AM I like that spacepirate's character plays Weaverdice.
4:56 AM
<Forgery> Just have him introduce the rest
4:56 AM Play Sharazan WD in PD
4:56 AM
<•Thalia> "Surprise, this is now Lausanne 3."
4:56 AM
<Forgery> Lausanne 3: Montreal
4:56 AM
<Olivebirdy> Forgery: the chess champion
4:56 AM
<Forgery> ah
4:56 AM
<Antioch> The kids in the corner of the party are rolling up capes and burning their good karma to dodge power flaws.
4:57 AM
<Forgery> If they even know about karma
4:58 AM
<•Nick> RPing would get much harder without lying
4:59 AM
<waxpapers> can you have a character you're playing lie in-game?
4:59 AM
<Forgery> "Yes", she lied.
4:59 AM
<waxpapers> ...can a GM run a session and tell a story about a setting without lying?
4:59 AM
<Forgery> Is writing a story a lie
5:00 AM
<Antioch> “The following is a fictional narrative. Any resemblances to persons living or dead is unintentional.”
5:01 AM
<waxpapers> that gets into some really interesting questions. if you take a picture of something, you could presumably say "this is what x looks like", or even "this is x"- and that wouldn't be a lie. but what if you painted a picture? how abstract can you get in your painting before your painting becomes a lie?
5:01 AM Ceci n'est pas une pipe?
5:02 AM
<Antioch> It’s not semantics, it’s just if the spirits are cool with or not, I think
5:03 AM
<•Nick> I thought we learned that doesn't work in the Rose Sr journal interludes?
5:03 AM The disclaimer
5:04 AM
<waxpapers> yeah
5:04 AM for the same reason that crossing your fingers behind your back doesn't let you get away lying
5:05 AM
<•Thalia> What about the moment someone finds out you lied, you dramatically point your finger and yell "I lied!"
5:05 AM
<Antioch> Might be. I oughta reread.
5:05 AM ⇐ Druza quit (uid209687@stonehaven.irccloud.com) Quit: Connection closed for inactivity
5:05 AM
<Forgery> Somewhat similar, is a nonsequitor in response to a misheard question a lie. Like "where did you go last night" being answered with "the supermarket?" If the responder misheard it as "where did you get this rice"
5:06 AM Forgery → Forge|Hiking
5:06 AM
<•Thalia> Forge|Hiking, who told you to take a hike?
5:07 AM
<Forge|Hiking> My parents and you, given the way you've been jumping all day
5:11 AM
<Wildboo> Hm.  I like rev's 'out of place' person.  App feels just a bit choppy- had to reread to grok the gradual hearing loss and see if/where the hosting was mentioned.
5:12 AM Rather, I should say I like that aspect of the app
5:12 AM Revisiting Maalman's app...
5:12 AM
<Mallmann> (yay)
5:13 AM
<Wildboo> 'loudest in the room' is something that's neat to drop early because it can color the rest of the app & conveys personality.
5:18 AM Personality is good.  Being a polyglot doesn't seem forced, except maybe harder to play out with a -knowledge (app stresses the +strength which is good, but skips over the drawback some).
5:19 AM → Druza joined (uid209687@stonehaven.irccloud.com)
5:19 AM <Druza> I miss anything?
5:19 AM Been playing a super close tournament match so i havent been able to pay attention
5:20 AM
<Wildboo> Nah, am going over apps.  I might make a shortlist of my top 5-10 (so many!) and ask for input after.
5:21 AM <Druza> Any thoughts on mine?
5:21 AM
<•Nick> Yeah seriously there are a shit ton of apps
5:29 AM <ColdGold> He's reading through all of em Druz
5:29 AM He'll get to it
5:30 AM I think he's going bottom to top he said
5:34 AM
<Mallmann> bow, feel like it's a bit of a hard sell but I it was necessary. Most immigrants know that even not being the brightest.

5:36 AM
<•Thalia> Hey Inky. Where are Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde?
5:38 AM
<•Nick> Got eaten thanks to a power pellet probably
5:44 AM <Druza> Alright cogo
5:46 AM <TheWhiteDuke> Morning folks
5:46 AM
<•Thalia> Barely.
5:47 AM Hey TWD
5:47 AM <Ryneron> Hey duke
5:47 AM
<Mallmann> yo
5:47 AM I think bow already went through your app, TWD
5:50 AM <TheWhiteDuke> Just caught up. Anti - might I suggest Calgary as an option?
5:52 AM
<•Nick> Hi Duke
5:52 AM <TheWhiteDuke> Also I still feel like a newb, though having begun, run and concluded a campaign of PactDice probably precludes me from that :P
5:52 AM <Druza> Your really good
5:54 AM
<Mishie> Oh goody, time to read logs.
