[Mysterious Cities of Jade] OOC Thread

[Sarky]

Wait, that wasn't a bad enough botch for 4 1's. Hang on, let me add insult to injury...

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

Heh. That was...wow. I edited my post to fix the flow and get a reaction to...that. Oy. Poor guy.

 

[Incendius]

Does everyone make their own rolls?

 

[Sarky]

Whoops, good point. Allow me to retcon slightly...

 

[Crocodile]

Okay, I'm having a technical issue. I can't seem to locate the damn dice roller button.

 

[Chaka]

You make a post, and then 'Throw Dice' is located in the bottom-right corner. Be sure to set the number of Faces to 10.

 

[Crocodile]

Nevermind...

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

The road spirit warms my heart.

 

[Sarky]

Whoops, didn't see Elegy post. I've added something in for you.

 

[Sarky]

I am a firm believer in the power of sarcasm.

 

[Incendius]

It seems like this dice roller's tendency to give us statistically improbable low amounts of success is actually working in the group's favor!

 

[Sarky]

I'm starting to warm to these Nocturnals. They're daft.

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

I would like to state again: I'm having a blast. So THIS is what that 'playing' thing is like!

 

[Incendius]

I'm just going to quote the author of Nocturnals.

We have ideas on how each other type of Exalt fights: Solars are efficient, Sids need to stack the deck ahead of time, Lunars go 0-Kill in 1 action, Abyssals are stronger in shadowlands/underworld and with extras around, and Infernals all have their own combat propensities depending on patron.


What would the basic idea behind Nocturnal combat be, then?

Nocturnals play Calvinball.

 

[Chaka]

Purely for my own amusement, I'm gonna play it that every time Amaya fluctuates something, it gives Ayo a splitting headache.

 

[Incendius]

It seems like the pattern spiders got splitting headaches as well. The Internet in my house shut off two minutes after that last post. Thank god for smart phones.


Edit: I was just rereading the fluctuation rules and I noticed that they are suspicious, which means the ST can either secretly roll a die and see how Sidereals respond (page 99) or just fashion the response based on the story. If it being rolled, 1s are treated as 10s, for fluctuations.

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

Annnnd I can't stop laughing.

 

[Chaka]

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

You love me. Don't deny this. To wit: If Shinji's killed in the ensuing chaos, you've lost nothing!

 

[Chaka]

Oh, don't worry, there's enough facepalms for Amaya's potentially bringing the Fellowship down on us to go around

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

\o/

 

[Sarky]

That's a 2-dice stunt. I'll raise the difficulty of the roll for the oxen by 1.

 

[Sarky]

Ah, balls. The dice roller isn't working on my mobile. It'll be 5-6 hours till I can get to a computer and finish that post.

 

[Incendius]

Oh, don't worry, there's enough facepalms for Amaya's potentially bringing the Fellowship down on us to go around

If you think a minor fluctuation is bad, wait till I get the charm tech to start pulling out dominant and total ones (which is probably not for a bit). A dominant fluctuation is described as 'Earthquake in the loom', and a total one is even worse.

And normal service has resumed.
