🤮🤮 🤮🤮 BLEGHHHH I HAVE POSTER'S DISEASE 🤮🤮 🤮🤮

Last night, @wowj and I talked about smashing all the evocations into big stupid multi-slot magic. Our outline was: 1. EVOCATION occupies three magic slots. 2. Upon connecting to EVOCATION, mages may select one or two (it doesn't REALLY matter as long as its 3+) evocation subtypes to specialize in. 3. The subtypes of EVOCATION are Earth, Water, Air, and Fire (maybe LIGHTNING if someone crazy can balance it). 4. EVOCATIONISTS may dedicate one additional slot to EVOCATION to access one additional subtype of EVOCATION. 5. There would be a few (something from five to seven) "universal" spells like EVOKE PROJECTILE (magic missile) with elemental subtypes that all functionally accomplish the same thing. For example, Harry Potter is a 3-Slot Evocationist. The EVOKE PROJECTILE spell is his main attacking spell that launches a ball of elemental magic at someone. He has selected FIRE and AIR as his subtypes. His EVOKE PROJECTILE spell would allow him to cast a ball of burning flame which can scald people and a ball of air which can move people. 6. Each subtype would have a few (two or three) "unique" spells (they could be as simple as passive abilities or ultimate abilities that can change encounters in one casting, so long as they are DIFFERENT and do not subtract from the casting of normal spells). For example, Fire Evocation could have a "Blue Fire" passive ability where they may spend [1] extra emote per-casting to make ALL OF THEIR SPELLS hit harder. I'm not sure whether or not this would be a perfect fix (I hope it is because I love attention), but I think it could help bring the magic in a more soulful direction. Most of my angst with voidal magic stems from there being way too many spells. The system Wowj and I dreamed up doesn't exactly eliminate that, but it certainly simplifies it.

TO THE DESK OF: The An-Gho FROM: H. Monjaro Re: Petition for the Expansion of the GRUB BUCKET Dear An-Gho, Takemura is my sworn battle-brother and an honorable warrior. Equally, as you know, he is an Oni. He is subject to many curses and though he stands tall and proud, he is constantly compelled to action. It is through constant action that he is a successful businessman. The Grub Bucket began as a humble izakaya in Sakura-Gakure run by Takemura and a few companions. Through his tireless effort and constant efforts to push the frontiers of restaurateuring the Grub Bucket has grown into a thriving guild with kitchens all across Braevos. I encourage you to take his petition seriously and to offer him the same respect he affords you. The Grub Bucket is more than an Izakaya or a brand, it is a movement for a better Braevos. It is convenient then, that this movement is carried in a bowl of katsu and rice, and served to you by an Oni. Sincerely, Lord Monjaro of Clan Honma

STOP DRAANBINDING YOUR MARTS

US THE PLAYERS, BY DOING AND BEING BETTER. Aspire to something more than the lowest common denominator. Step up and raise the fidelity of roleplay even when it feels like it doesn't matter. Rule changes and alterations won't make these issues go away, but if we all come together we can fix them culturally. Most of these problems just need to be talked about ad nauseum. The more we think about the quality of our roleplay the more conscious and compassionate we get. Love will save us, xoxo.

We will be doing our best to clear out MArt mag before they’re all shelved.

Can we get any clues as to what moderation hopes “naval warfare” will provide for players?
-
Deleting breeni’s post is so silly.

MArts are shelved and the scaled man has gotten his claws on golemancy. It’s time to runesmith laddeh.

squakhawk thesis is that chaotic neutral is the lamest alignment because it basically just means someone can do anything at any time for any reason which doesnt remark unpredictability but a lack of character irp and incurs more of an "whats convenient for me right now" oocly standing that has lead to the morally gray crisis where everything is so gray nothing is
black and white characters are fun but overly correcting is kind of lame. You remember people not because theyre good or bad but because how consistently they act and with much severity.
Right now one of my favorite characters is @Xarkly's Villorik because I think he's the only person remotely interesting with church right now - Whereas most theorypost and fuck around in discord hes actively going around roleplaying, investigating darkspawn, hunting them down, leading an inquisition - he has an influence where he goes and without a doubt a sort of vibe around him that encourages not only roleplay, but inspires others to do so as well.
A character which inspires other people or characters is one that is remarkable, and one that is so few among the thousand and one dull ones who just act at their player's whim. Something that frustrated me deeply was how this was exacerbated in so many events in the past, the most notable coming to mind is during the arcas antag one player just decided to randomly murder the quest npc because "they thought it would be funny" - while everyone has their own fun with the server and engages it with a level of seriousness or silliness that suits their enjoyment, it can be downright destructive to others for some to play their characters so recklessly, and was when other players complained and were upset about it.
Not everyone can (or wants to be) a super notable remarkable interesting character, or even a super unique one, or one that isn't just an OOC reflection machine of themselves, and you can't blame them or expect to much of the folks who approach roleplay casually and have fun with a distance from the server and how serious it can be.
It's just a part of life. Have your own fun, and if it inspires others, great. If not, fine too, there's no judgement on someone who's just having fun. It's what we're all here for anyway.

Boss, your next mission is intercepting a shipment of thanhium in... Aaun? What's King Charles need with thanhium?

What do you want Jun Lei to look like after your character no longer leads it?

THE GREAT DRAGON loathed the death of Raug. It had hoped to find in him a champion of unrivalled strength one with whom to trust his magic powers. Instead he found a kind and rare friend whose strength lay in his heart and mind rather than his fists.

So I can’t put plate armor on a gorilla strength independent summon. Screw my stupid chungus life.

REBORN MAN regenerated elsewhere. Metal, man, and unending wrath rebound his coils in a keep older than any other.

Please do not forget that they want to keep runesmithing from you.
