HOLY WATER
interest check for a (maaaaybe in-character?) session of D&D. like, for real. we might be playing D&D.
HOLY WATER
gimme a sec to type out my, like. rules n conditions n stuff, then I'll open comments.
HOLY WATER
so! I'm not sure if it would be played out in-character or if we'd just clown around regularly. I just thought of this on the spot right this very now.
HOLY WATER
i... dont know a lot of specifics tbh. this is just an interest check after all.
HOLY WATER
I would be the DM for this session, though I dont admittedly have a lot of experience with it. others who are interested are free to voice that!
HOLY WATER
I'd probably give it like... a month at least before we play? just to gather players and get everyone prepared.
HOLY WATER
I think my max number of players would be 4-6, but I would be happy to run multiple games!
Usagi
Arcade DND Arcade DND!
HOLY WATER
the implication would be that the session is played out by our muses, hence why the offer is open to Ryslig players specifically
HOLY WATER
but I wont make it a hard rule that the session itself needs to be played out in character. that could be difficult. I'd still welcome it though!
HOLY WATER
ICly speaking the session(s) will be held in the Arcade, though wait are Fog followers even allowed in there...
HOLY WATER
Usagi you said something about Elias DMing, which I wouldn't be opposed to if we can somehow pull that off, but likely it'll be Dio DMing bc that's. Me.
Usagi
aghjkdflhgjkdfhg
Usagi
if we're doing anything on screen ever Dio is probably DMing which is bound to be a hell of a time
HOLY WATER
OOCly it'll be done over Discord VC. I can set up a server or have a dedicated channel somewhere for it! you need to be comfortable with being on mic!
Usagi
lord,
Usagi
and no fog followers are Not allowed in
Usagi
likewise arcade goers are Banned from Dyster
HOLY WATER
alright that should be the last of what I currently have to say. feel free to voice your own thoughts and questions and I'll answer them as I can!
Pythonmelon
ooo I would LOVE IC DnD
HOLY WATER
depending on who's interested we might need to find a different location...
Usagi
i can make another interest plurk later after i shower...
HOLY WATER
uhh after my lunch I'll be dipping out until 4pm EST, by the way!
HOLY WATER
and if anyone wants to spread the info you can! I'll turn my plurk public
Usagi
OH- oh uh ok
Usagi
-bumps and chants- DND! DND!!!
Usagi
personally I don't see too many actual IC sessions but at the very least it'd be a super dumb fun thing in the background that could Occasionally be the strange equivalent of a round of IC CAH,
HOLY WATER
what else should I say... this wont be in thread form? we are not threading this out,
HOLY WATER
it's just for goofs and implied cr...
Usagi
yeah
☆SUGAR☆RIOT☆
Usagi
HELLO GROOVE
Usagi
ok but the flipside of this is
Usagi
what does dnd in ryslig LOOK like
Pythonmelon
Whoever writes the game book has a clear preference for some monsters and clear beef with some
Pythonmelon
and has made this preference clear
bread singalong
oh my god
bread singalong
if I could find an IC reason to get AM in on this, I would
bread singalong
"trapped in a hut with a bunch of stupid geeks, nothing better to do"
Usagi
AM dming tho
Usagi
imagine,
Pythonmelon
Virgil would try to just put in a self insert cause he's not creative, Oggie cannot be allowed to play cause he'd ruin it instantly
Usagi
someone reads the game book and throws it 'NO WE CANT USE REAL MONSTERS'
Pythonmelon
we've already seen what AM does to his players when he DMs
bread singalong
I mean
bread singalong
true
Usagi
cackles
bread singalong
that's the entirety of IHNMAIMS - it's literally the story of an angry DM
bread singalong
literally just an autobiography from Harlan Ellison about that time he DM'd a game
Usagi
lawd
HOLY WATER
fair enough though!!!
argosblin.
slides in and strikes a pose...hello I am not currently in the game but I’m going to be trying to be in the game... but also my character is an Adult and Dumb and swears So Much
Usagi
speedwagon and dio sit at a dnd table-
Usagi
also ! goblin who are you bringing
also when??
argosblin.
I’m gonna try to do this upcoming app cycle because otherwise I have to WAIT SO LONG UGH but he’s my dnd character that started as au mav and then I worked on filing off the serial numbers a bit more
Usagi
ohhhHHHhhhh shit good luck in that case !!
argosblin.
I’ve just got his sample left o7 and icons, but
Usagi
\o/
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
oh this sounds interesting whaaaat
Usagi
so i guess we have two points that need to be figured out
first what this is in universe, second who starts it,
HOLY WATER
okay but is the implication here that I need to homebrew monster races,
Usagi
yes
HOLY WATER
fuck
HOLY WATER
guess I will consult my friend for this
argosblin.
I do know that forever ago, Juno Steel got some of the basic handbooks from Mana, and Ray borrowed them for a time.
argosblin.
so if it's ic dnd played by characters, there's stuff in place, if it's ic dnd played by us as the characters, ?????
Usagi
>o>
someone ping junos player
HOLY WATER
oh fuck you got it
HOLY WATER
hey everett can we get your feedback on this
HOLY WATER
oh shit that's an important addition. we're playing 5e regardless of what books Juno has.
Usagi
yeah if we actually play out these sessions we...will want familiarity
HOLY WATER
I mean it's more that pre-5e is almost entirely garbage
HOLY WATER
but yes familiarity is a big part of it
HOLY WATER
classes will definitely be the same. I can try to homebrew a bunch of races but classes is just
entirely too much for me rn.
Usagi
FKFNFBFFBFBF
HOLY WATER
I might also uhhhhh find a pre-written one-off campaign instead of writing my own? idk yet
argosblin.
yeah I was homebrewing my own class and then I decided wow what a bad idea, time to change this character completely
the owo pokemon
i have...never played dnd before and only have the built in mic on my laptop but do want to be in the loop on this
Usagi
narancia playin dnd...
HOLY WATER
that's acceptable tbh
HOLY WATER
I only require a mic for participation bc I've played a tabletop where people have been text-only and it was. a nightmare.
Usagi
ohnoo
HOLY WATER
even just one person being off mic drags the pacing down so severely...
the owo pokemon
i mean
my dad played dnd before and he has a ton of old 3rd edition stuff just laying around the house so i have the idea
HOLY WATER
nods
HOLY WATER
I'm absolutely fine with people new to the game!
HOLY WATER
if everyone wants homebrew races based on each of the monster types in ryslig, then i'll make em, but we won't be using any vanilla races
HOLY WATER
likewise, if people want to just use the vanilla d&d races, then i won't make any homebrew stuff unless i'm specifically asked
HOLY WATER
it's all or nothing, bc that's a lot of races to homebrew and the IC reason for them is bc the vanilla races Don't Exist
argosblin.
what if they were the greatest monster of all..........man
chris 🔅
if there was even a 1% chance Angela could be convinced to play d&d, I would be so into this
HOLY WATER
hm i guess human should in fact still be an option
chris 🔅
but she would have no interest
HOLY WATER
f...
chris 🔅
she basically IS an aasimar barbarian already
HOLY WATER
fuck you're so right
HOLY WATER
if people wanna brainstorm reasons for their characters to join, they're free tod o that
Usagi
just all of the humany races
halfling
elf (the twins cough somewhere in the distance)
dwarf...
HOLY WATER
no just human
HOLY WATER
human and the ryslig monsters
chris 🔅
if this happens after the next app round, my second character would be more amenable
everett
oh i mean
everett
i tried to put it together once but then i wasnt able to do it because PLANNING IS HARD kjhadsf
HOLY WATER
we won't be playing for at least a month, so people bringing someone in the next round will have a chance!
HOLY WATER
god that's valid
everett
if you want juno can just like. give the books to dio i guess
chris 🔅
in that case, I'm in
HOLY WATER
shrugs vaguely
up to you :0
everett
yeah its fine u can have em hjksdhf
HOLY WATER
if you want in on this too you're free to join :0
everett
i am ... extremely busy with school work this semester unfortunately so i wouldnt be able to even if i wanted to ;_;
HOLY WATER
ahhh, patpat
HOLY WATER
if this goes well though then i might try another run again! so there might be another chance!
everett
yeah!!!
HOLY WATER
even if this specific "our characters are doing d&d in-game" gimmick falls through, i'm always down for more d&d now that my weekly game is on hold
Usagi
yeah
and like again this isn't a Regular thing
it's Occasional
otherwise we would die
HOLY WATER
yeah!! it'd be a one-off
HOLY WATER
okay first i will look through official/UA sources and see what races could count for different monster types
HOLY WATER
for example, goblins exist, aasimar and tieflings are just nephs and demons, etc
chris 🔅
please include the hippo people... I forget what they're called but their official art is one in military uniform carrying a gun
HOLY WATER
OHHHH I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
HOLY WATER
god i'm not sure what on earth i'm gonna do for mer... i guess we'll see :0
chris 🔅
Triton!
HOLY WATER
oh true
HOLY WATER
i meant more like. to account for the sheer amount of variation in them.
HOLY WATER
shrugs vaguely. i will think more on this Later.
FreddyDadbear
giorno might be convinced to play... that said I legit am in two campaigns rn XD
HOLY WATER
oof that's fair
Usagi
thats why I keep emphasizing it as a neat offscreen thing lmfao
Usagi
aint nobody got time otherwise
FreddyDadbear
oh, I meant as in I'd happily be involved in D&D shenanigans
