Dice Abyssals - Dark Future - OOC

[Rykon]

I'm ready to start if you guys are. I just need to finish the background story around Exaltation and fill in minor details like DVs, charm text, and other reference blocks.

As for the four players thing, I must've missed something, did Random Word decide not to join in on this one? If so, that's a shame.

I don't have any recommendations outside of those mentioned already. Any time I've invited some of my friends from off-site they don't seem to stay for very long for one reason or another. I'd rather not risk that again for this game.

 

[Sherwood]

I thought it was Jaydude that had said he was not coming on, not Random Word. If Random is still with us, we still have four players.

 

[Psychie]

Huh. Jaydude must have seen the game and made that post. Yeah, Random Word should still be with us.

 

[Random Word]

Mostly done! Just need to sort out some backgrounds stuff like deciding what the hell my artifact does.

Need help finding a pic?

Maybe they operate on the stats of gauntlet of distant claws like what Xun uses.

 

[D. Rex]

Well, since Jaydude has taken a rain check on the game, we are now looking at just Rykon , Sherwood , and D. Rex . How are you guys set for starting out?

Also is there anyone else that you would like to suggest to join this game? I don't want any more than four players, so if the three of you are fine with it just being you, we can start sooner rather than later.

I'm all good to go, mechanically speaking. All I have left to do is write out a tragic backstory.

 

[D. Rex]

Psychie
I believe I am done with my CS. Just finished the backstory. Review at your liesure!

 

[Psychie]

Excellent! We can start up soon.

Random Word You have a five dot artifact on your sheet that I don't recognize. What is it?

 

[Sherwood]

Sweet.

 

[D. Rex]

Woohoo!

 

[Random Word]

Psychie It is custom - I don't know if it will stay 5 dots, I just started by overcosting it to see where I landed with it. I want kunais on incredibly thin soulsteel garotte wires so I can swing them like weighted murder whips, use them like grappling hooks, swing on them like murder spiderman, throw them the old fashioned way, lay traps for anyone not observant enough to notice the wires (extras would just get diced if they tried to run through them), etc. Maybe plucking the strings plays the music of Oblivion that causes everyone who hears it and has their MDV overcome to bleed from eyes and ears, blinding and deafening them. Packing all this crazy stuff into an artifact made me feel it was probably going to come out around Artifact 5.

Gauntlet of distant Claws works very similar to that and is 3 dot. It's basically claws that can shoot out like a grappling hook.

 

[Random Word]

I will look those up.

 

[Random Word]

Yes, that looks similar. Basically I wanted a super Gauntlets of Distant Claws with extra fanciness.

 

[Psychie]

I have the first post up in the IC thread! I hope that everyone enjoys this story!

 

[D. Rex]

I posted too!

 

[Sherwood]

Mine is up.

It's easy to find beautiful vampire Abyssal art, but turns out to be a bit trickier to find horrifying abyssal art.

Spoiler: Some Art Ideas

There's some half-pretty half face-melted examples, and a full face melted example that works minus the horns.




For later if she can find a Daybreak or Deathlord willing to help with replacing her body with Soulsteel, though I was imagining it more mannequin like:


Maybe the kind of thing she would wear to an event like tonight to cover herself fully:

 

[Sherwood]

Cool pics.

Lol let me see what I can find.

 

[Psychie]

Does your character wear any kind of mask to conceal the horrors of your face?

 

[Random Word]

Yes, for sure. She wouldn't be caught dead without it. She covers her entire body whenever she can - the fires melted or destroyed most of her skin.

 

[Psychie]

Just checking. Wanted to make sure that I was playing the reactions of the various NPCs to your appearance correctly.

 

[D. Rex]

Spoiler: Pics

There's a few. I'll check some Mask pics next

 

[Sherwood]

Them is some creepy looking pics.
