im still a little torn on who to put in... emma would be neat but so would sakura
sleigh bells 🔔
but sakura also is such a mystery in her canon :////

There can be one copy of a Silent Protagonist (i.e. Hawke from Dragon Age, the Warrior of Light, Lumine Genshin Impact)
all characters are required to be at least small enough to fit through a standard door.
... I'm imagining my Roegadyn WoL vs. standard human-scaled doors and I am delighted
comesailaway
"7'3" at max height for females and 7'5" for the males" you could just duck a bit it's fine
comesailaway
I would loath to be biased against the potential of Giant Women, just think, like, "dimensionally smaller than a mitsubishi outlander."

OH THIS LOOKS VERY FUN

DIVORCED women

curby&coughing
Just out of curiosity, any reason why no CRAU? I've been looking for a place for one for a WHILE and this premise/ruleset hits every box except that one :-(
Grimme
This does look fun! Not a thing for me currently, since I'm also in the CRAU boat, but I'm replurking anyway because I hope this takes off, just in case I pick up someone new!
comesailaway
entirely laziness and open to debate!
comesailaway
I couldn't figure a way to put it on the app that I was entirely happy with
Icarian Habits
breaks in the FAQ
skerple
comesailaway : oh yeah she'd for sure fit, it's just I'm so amused thinking about her having to duck through every door
curby&coughing
I'd really love if you'd consider tbh! I do like the way lifeaftr did it once upon a time
Shanta Claws
ohhh
hotline
ooooo
curby&coughing
but yeah this fits literally all my other boxes in terms of keeping powers, setting, the old-school jamjar holdout, just the whole nine yards
comesailaway
Icarian Habits : stares at hands i don't know
surprise retcon
the fact that elsword is mentioned on the faq feels extremely cursed but also somehow flattering
comesailaway
your weird canon was very useful for my example needs
surprise retcon
CRYING youre welcome
ʂɳσɯ•ϝɭαƙҽ
oh I need this nonsense in my life thank you thank you
surprise retcon
looks at my elsword, maybe
𝕿𝖆𝖈𝖔𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖆

surprise retcon
*elswords but i guess i do also have. an elsword. sure
Jaydee
What kind of things would the player characters see during the itinerary, as events and expeditions?
comesailaway
OKAY SO, this seems like the way to answer that dnd question: there isn't a sort of set canon, is there?
comesailaway
like there wouldn't be a "canon" dnd character
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
yeah, minus like... a tabletop-themed podcast/sohw (ie critical role)
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
show*
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
also this looks delightful i hope to see yall on the tdm!
Icarian Habits
I mean, I’m actually asking because this setting would be a lovely hell for a Changeling: the Lost character.
Icarian Habits
Which is a modern urban horror TTRPG.
surprise retcon
ohhhhhhh clasps ur hands, changeling..... good taste
comesailaway
Jaydee : random things based on the list I currently have: ghosts, roller coasters, tropical beaches, miasmas that consume everything around them, their own internal organs, other people's internal organs, cats wearing clothes, actual hell, space, blood elevators, ice castle, slasher chasing you through dark corridors
wefeelmerry
Icarian Habits
surprise retcon : come into my arms. I’m thinking of deconstructing an Alan Parsons Project album for a durance.
MestizAAAH
i liked this plurk and i am interested
comesailaway
let me use the like. one tabletop game I actually know as an example and I think I can do this.
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
also i dont play anyone but i better see a zero escape or two on the tdm
surprise retcon
Job History: Include the character's last two to five work experiences, including responsibilities and applicable skills.
yknow what this is the best game app ive ever seen
🐅 its harry
wow yeah
surprise retcon
all this is missing is a spot to list references smh
comesailaway
OKAY, ttrpg quesion sorted. hopefully. tell me if it makes sense or not.
Icarian Habits
Makes perfect sense! I can totally jam with that, and it'll be a useful answer for the D&D crowd too.
shrimp heaven
oh man there was a cruise ship themed horror game back int he day on lj that i loved....this def catches my interest....
comesailaway
god the answer to the crau question just knocked me in the face like it's been hiding there forever
comesailaway
for what is a crau but the canon point in parentheses
Icarian Habits
I may need to launch a few things at the TDM and see what sticks
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
I have a couple of options as far as who I want to try on the TDM.
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
shrimp heaven : i was totally thinking of ms elegante as well haha
ⓢⓐⓓⓖⓐⓨⒷⓄⓉ
this is taking me straight back to '10s rp era and i kind of fucking love it
she is legend。
god someone mentioning ms elegante and i feel like i aged a couple of years
ⓢⓐⓓⓖⓐⓨⒷⓄⓉ
I FORGOT ABOUT MS ELEGANTE
ⓢⓐⓓⓖⓐⓨⒷⓄⓉ
NO WONDER I'M GETTING SUCH NOSTALGIA
ⓢⓐⓓⓖⓐⓨⒷⓄⓉ
fuck i'm old
comesailaway
I recognize the name but absolutely nothing else
ⓢⓐⓓⓖⓐⓨⒷⓄⓉ
it's ok i'm old and i can't remember anything other than it was an rp and it was on a cruise ship. everything else has died along with my brain cells.
ⓢⓐⓓⓖⓐⓨⒷⓄⓉ
i've been dying to app a post-canon levi from attack on titan somewhere and what better than a cruise ship i think i might need this in my life. i'm ready for the tdm like yesterday even though i didn't know about this yesterday.
comesailaway
not gonna expand on it but if you app that character something incredibly funny will happen about a month and a half after opening.

I don't think I have time for another game rn but I will for sure test drive for fun because this looks dope, and if I do have time later I may app

sʜsʟ ɪᴠᴀʟɪᴄᴇ
there asks a very important question which will dictate my canon point (not really)
comesailaway
closes my eyes as the worst answer immediately comes to mind
comesailaway
give me like five minutes to decide if it's funny enough to trump common sense
sʜsʟ ɪᴠᴀʟɪᴄᴇ
OKAY

(listen personally im a fan of canon point-body mismatch :B )

im very excited for cruise ship horror owo ive been wanting it since last year
curby&coughing
sometimes the elders show up from the lj days that im now realizing were over 15 years ago and now i have to go lie down
comesailaway
i am Old so that's probs why the game has ljrp vibes
i stay silly :3
it's good! I'm def interested but I gotta see if i have the time for another game
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
>15 years ago
'no that can't be right i'm only-......oh god.'
🌸 Mɪᴋᴏᴛᴏʙᴀ
no............... it can't be 15..........
Ri
... i came in here out of curiosity, and the LJRP 15 year talk makes me wanna cry cos i started rping in 2001 on mIRC which makes me a fossil
comesailaway
i can't even comfort you my first thought was oh i was eight years old then
Ri
cacopheny
/hi-fives the mirc rp crowd
Ri
i... was 21.
cacopheny
that's where I got started to
cacopheny
I was like. 15?
cacopheny
back in 96 or 97
Ri
Icarian Habits
...I'm beginning to realize I'm younger than a lot of my RP partners, still. :-P
cacopheny
anyway this is interesting. can you maybe let me know how often mind control is going to wind up an unescapable event mechanic?
cacopheny
(haha I am an old. I'm 40 :-P )
comesailaway
hm... can't think of any mind control right now, but the tdm, at least, will include characters' bodies being unable to move unless they are headed in a certain direction, if that counts!
cacopheny
nah that's fine. more like... I dunno forcing certain emotions or reactions on people, hypnosis, vampire glamors, etc. bodies not cooperating isnt' the same.
Icarian Habits
Gosh, the characters I'm looking at right now, besides OCs, are Jean Tannen from the Gentleman Bastards books, Shiroe from Log Horizon or Moonshade from the Elfquest comics.
cacopheny
/does not enjoy those mechanics so :B
Icarian Habits
None of whom belong on a cruise ship
comesailaway
mind control as in, like, the brain is controlled to make the body do or say something is a little bit against the The Greater Plot, so I don't really think it'll come up
cacopheny
nice!
comesailaway
don't worry your character will always be painfully aware of everything at all times
comesailaway
also EVERYONE belongs on a cruise ship
Icarian Habits
You're biased, cruiseparent!
comesailaway
(p-woot)
Icarian Habits
cacopheny - Are you thinking of a bucky-variant here?
comesailaway
mentally crying how am i supposed to communicate without my emotes
cacopheny
yeah I'm not liking him so much for my friend's digimon game, so if somebody else doesn't nab him here first I will consider
cacopheny
horror games are a staple for him anyhow
Icarian Habits
I had not noticed. :-P
𝙟𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙙𝙖𝙬
oh this reminds me so much of the MS Elegante!! baby's first LJRP game
moontouched
god ms elegante was my first thought. good times, good times. i'm excited to see someone also doing the fucked up cruise ship thing
lazdo
i also came in here to make sure ms elegante had been mentioned lol
lazdo
played there for literally years
Icarian Habits
...I just realized who might be PERFECT for this game.
sleigh bells 🔔
i'm go glad thers so many people interested in this!!!

this sounds really fun

im curious about the bingo mechanic in this game, but for some reason im not seeing the info page for it?
comesailaway
... https://images.plurk.com/3WUuj83ZrhP5Hx2OTdUamI.jpg
comesailaway
you know when you write something and you're like "i will remember to do this" and then you don't
spitfire
OH hahha, yes that is a mood....
spitfire
just know that i am v intrigued by bingo cute and murder (LOL) so i'll be curious to read whenever that page is live
Icarian Habits
I'm wondering if a perfectly mundane (if incredibly charming) man from the early 1900s will be able to get traction here.
Icarian Habits
Also, cruiseparent, there's an inconsistency about regains--the FAQ says they'll be at the sundries shop, while the bonus AC page says Friday will have them at guest services.
comesailaway
comesailaway
I am consistently cottage cheese brain'd
comesailaway
everyone pointing out my mistakes is my new favorite
Icarian Habits
Hey, only doing it to try to help.
Icarian Habits
comesailaway
spitfire
HMMM!!! would you be willing to post a sample bingo card?
comesailaway
https://images.plurk.com/5XEmbC1UShPDXaUaQ1RMhw.jpg like this
comesailaway
there are several very cute websites for running bingo games and I am going to be testing them on my dark council in the lead up to opening, which is.... apps open on the 20th, game starts beginning of march? idk i'm thinkin'.
Icarian Habits
Do players need to be online at a certain time to play the bingo game?
Icarian Habits
That might be a limiting factor for some, time zones etc.
comesailaway
most likely! it's an entirely optional mechanic for little bonus treats
comesailaway
there could always be alternative methods to find guns
𝖌𝖔𝖔𝖉𝖞 𝖙𝖜𝖔𝖘𝖍𝖔𝖊
i say this w huge amounts of love-- this game is giving extreme mayfield energy and i am here for it
comesailaway
that is the highest compliment i could ever hope to receive
Gemini
I feel like "dimensionally smaller than a Mitsubishi outlander" should be part of the faq lmfao
Gemini
just because that is a delightful turn of phrase, good job
comesailaway
your wish is my command

re: cottage cheese brain - I usually say I've got a colander brain, full of holes. so I feel this. xD

I'm so sorry for sending everyone into a tizzy about how long ago everything was
curby&coughing
but also I too live in this hell, so like, we're in this 2gether
ღluna
So it's playing actual bingo and not comparable to the bingo system used in say, Erku, where you fill squares on your card by playing out certain types of interactions? JUST MAKING SURE HERE, my brain works bad
comesailaway
oh I didn't even know that was a thing - no it's literally bingo.

liking this so that i can find it again.
#ConnorArmy
Icarian Habits : i'd be interested in seeing that deconstruction
Icarian Habits
#ConnorArmy I'm specifically talking the Turn of a Friendly Card album--for a casino-themed Durance. But right now, I think I may be launching a canon character at the TDM first, because I realized this might be a good setting for Johnny Summer from Lavender Jack.
#ConnorArmy
oh yeah, that album would make sense for it! I think I'm going to keep an eye on this and watch how the TDM goes before making any firm decisions. i had to look up lavender jack and i may need to look into that further
Icarian Habits
#ConnorArmy - It's a damned good webcomic. The author's got a real feel for chekov's background characters and economy of characters. The alternate history means the author can just...do away with racism and homophobia and transphobia in his world and just have a lesbian great detective and her artist wife as characters.
Icarian Habits
I'm playing Ducky at Duplicity right now, but I made icons for Johnny Summer a while back and want to use them.
#ConnorArmy
that sounds like something i could get into and possibly obsess over so i'm gonna go find it. lmao i don't blame you
Icarian Habits
#ConnorArmy
Icarian Habits : Thank you!

beloved mod if a character i want to app has a lot of things not yet revealed can they be apped if i can extrapolate enough from waht we do know

honestly for me the appeal is 10000% the old school jamjar approach. I feel like I thought I wanted plots or factions or whatnot but nah just give me spooky jamjar I guess. I'll be there!
MestizAAAH
hahahaha, this! i saw this game and finally got my act together to make a journal for the vampire trophy wife OC i've been pondering for ages
MestizAAAH
all I needed was creepy ship
comesailaway
Gemini : like to be fair, that's pretty much why I started making this. every game I looked at was all sprawling lands and I was like what I need is a boat.
comesailaway
a tiny little package to stuff with cosmic horrors beyond our mortal ken. and buffets.
ʜᴀᴜɴᴛᴇᴅ ᴄʀɪᴍsᴏɴ
aren't buffets their own brand of cosmic horror?
comesailaway
i miss them

the modly time zone is EST
