That depends on how fucky the snow god is feeling today.

How fucky is the snow god feeling today, Snaps?

it's not all that cold, it's just that the plows have not come through yet

maybe they'll magically show up in the next ten minutes if I believe in the heart of the cards

anyway today I should try to get some eska stuff done and double check my DM stuff is all prepped

Sounds like a fantastic plan.

I'm positively vibrating about tomorrow :3

for lack of a fun tdl plurk meme, have actual live footage of eska and their one remaining brain cell trying to solve problems

I could have formatted that much more streamlined but whoops I'm rusty at plurk

oh my god

At least they're not doing it alone.

BONK BONK BONK

come to think of it, there's nothing stopping you from flavouring Eska's Unarmed attacks from being headbutts

or outright tortoise bites

they have many weapons in their arsenal

someday they're gonna shell-ram something like the tortoise they are and there will be no survivors

Fruit explosion muffins demand you.

As in, yes, I would probably brave the cold for Timmy's.

deep down, it's the only correct answer

there's an everything bagel calling for me

you know what you must do

trust your instincts

no ragrets

phone tags...... hard

I wonder if Google docs is any easier to operate on mobile

turns out it is

I'm not sure how much inventory is too much inventory, but hopefully it's okay if only one thing eska carries actually has a practical use beyond "it exists for sentimental reasons"

That sounds like it should be okay.

the white ink might get axed on the basis of "you could theoretically use it to write" but I want eska to still be able to continue their tattoos so it's worth a shot

no weapons or clothing or armor but I'm giving them the scarf for "it came from the monastery and flexible gave me a nice clasp for it"

The way I did it was I measured the items based on what they could be used for if they were required for a practical purpose.

wooden flute for "I've recreated an important sentimental momento that I no longer have"

if it's not unlimited ink that should be okay? you can have a few things with practical uses, just not OP stuff lmao

stone of far speech for "I cant actually contact my party anymore obviously but I LOVE THEM AND THESE ARE FRIENDSHIP NECKLACES"

yeah I dont think eska would want to let anyone use the ink for anything but tats because hey that's a very precious supply

and they couldn't just use chalk or white out or watercolours or something for their shell because the tattoos have to be. permanent

pretty sure the elves sell an ink-substitute made out of coal at elfmart anyway, we're not as scarce a society as we started out as

I'm wobbling on putting their prayer beads on the list too but honestly they can just lean on their empathic healing without it

yeah coal wouldn't work because their shell is. pretty dark. but it wont be the end of the world if tattoo ink is a no-go

worst case scenario, they can just carve things into their shell instead

Friendly reminder that everyone in LifeAftr gets a Stone of Far Speech in their starting gear by default

Unless this is a sentimental, 'second' one

man, tech has progressed since I played there

it's called LupNet, you're welcome

I'll just see if the mods will let them keep using the one theyve already got and they can just wire it to LUPNET I LOVE IT

It's #GoodShit

they went to the trouble of picking an iStone model that fits their aesthetic and everything

lmao yeah note that down, i know kravitz came in with his own too but i don't recall if we integrated it or gave him a second one

honestly there's nothing in the inventory list that I will die without, considering eska's views on Material Possessions

literally all our tech is rocked based these days, the message board is a big six-sided rock, there's a rock calendar, we found a shitton of minecraft redstone that carries its own magical electric charge but i don't think anyone has done too much with it

boot them into the world naked and afraid and they'll still find a way to give shit away to people

I'm so glad the message board rock has survived omg

oh man was that you!! i remember a lizzard got that for us!!

YEAH THAT WAS MY LIZZER

the one bit of legacy I left before I farted off away from dwrp for like a year

AW SHIT yeah we use that thing all the fucking time

hell yea babey

WE DID SO MUCH IC CONSPIRACY THEORYCRAFTING ON IT DURING PLAGUE ISLAND MONTHS it was so good

literally

a lizard did it

lizard people, dear reader

/chefs kiss

okay so I think I've got a solid amount of an app done, minus the secret spoilery bits and uploading a full character sheet/link to Monk class info/Way of Empathy stuff

everyone has been so utterly generous and welcoming in terms of hitting their tdm post up so I have no shortage of samples

but I might ask for a q&a anyway because I've been outta the dwrp game for a long while

(It is lowkey a shame I'm missing this shadow event though this is so eska's jam)

this is a character who exists entirely to try and facilitate other characters accomplishing those things they're too stuck to do alone lol

in a world where they're around and have established some CR their whole raison d'etre is accepting all aspects of who someone is and encouraging them to love themselves

wow lup could've used eska around during the emotional hanahaki plague, maybe then not every cr she ever loved would have died around her

guess what lup eska will never die

thank god

emotional honesty radiates off this turtle like a halo

at least not until they turn, like, 30 or something definitely super ancient like that

LMAO

That's it that's the turt: sincerity and acceptance wrapped in some stripes

here to show you that all facets of you are worthy of love

eska is gonna have their work cut out for them but i'm so glad

they have like 16 str they are mighty enough to shoulder it

feed them your baggage and fears and they will carry you through them

amazing

hhhh this campaign is a fresh hell

30 minutes in and the "i'm writing down everything your character does and says that mine doesn't approve of and if you get enough Bad Points i'm leaving" druid has ALREADY shut down players going "x character this is your strength why don't you solve this problem" by going "NO I DO IT MYSELF"

....oh dear that sounds Not Fun

this is very much a "i can do everything and so we're doing everything my way" kind of player lol

RIP I tried very hard to go "hey (character who has spent this whole session having all their 'you could do something cool' moments shot down) you're perfectly suited to shine here go do a thing"

AND DRUID IS LIKE "I'M GONNA GO TOO AND HANDLE ALL THE TALKING INSTEAD OF YOU, CHARISMA GUY"

good news: charisma guy actually got to pull off something really cool and satisfying

but god that was a long four and a half hours

Oh dear...... that's all very :/

life is too short for unpleasant party members

...wow. What a prick.

the good news is this campaign is moving to being biweekly so I dont have to worry about playing as often

What's counterbalancing the prick's actions?

Translation: why are you doing this to yourself

we've been doing this campaign for like nine months and it feels like a shame to let one players need to be the Strongest Smartest Person Who Controls Everything wreck it

Fair enough - I'll assume you've brought it up with the DM

yeah, I have
