Snake would go crazy in one of those locales. Considering he gets a nightmare hearing Paramedic say Dracula and doesn't like when she starts talking about vampire bats (a normal creature by all definitions. I mean except for the blood-sucking I guess

I wouldn't mind if we ended up there though. It would make for an interesting chat with Snake :P

@glwgameplayer Yeah I think everyone would get a rise out of being in spooky ass places like that, except maybe Kerrigan. After you see and sort of BECOME the Zerg I doubt there's very much else that can really surprise you about living things.

Though now you're tempting me to add Castlevania to the roleplay. Having everyone run around Dracula's castle looking for treasure, fighting monsters, and generally getting the dump scared out of them by horrifying things they see. If Naked Snake is scared to hell of Vampire Bats, then he'd fill his pants if he actually met Dracula face to face.

Dracula: WHAT IS A MAN?

Naked Snake: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *Launches RPG before Dracula can finish his wine*

Also I have my post almost entirely written up. I'll give @FrozenEcstasy a few more hours to get a post up before I post my own up.

Posted! I managed to work in not one, but two Zelda item catch references thanks to how the rolls worked out. I feel pretty satisfied with myself.

not the biggest post, but it gets the two teamwork moves I want to perform initialized. I give you permission to do whatever you need with my two chars to mount the log or robot.

@DracoLunarisIt's a perfectly fine post Draco. And pretty damn funny to be honest. Having Ceder and Julian together is going to make for a magical experience. I can already tell.

@DracoLunarisAHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY EYES THEY BURN!



I WILL NEVER SEE ANY BEAUTY IN THE WORLD AFTER THIS MOMENT!

That seems pretty accurate, though Ceder's the only one who's likely to be happy. Julian might go full AM (I Have No Mouth and I must Scream) if he has to put up with her for too long.

Also, just a weird little thing I want to bring up. I'd like to apologize if occasionally in descriptions I say that your character perceives, senses, or feels something. I don't want anyone to feel I'm taking control of their characters or stating things that aren't true about them or anything like that. I've just been trying to write some vivid, fun descriptions in a Dungeon Master like style.

No one's brought it up but I worried about it after recognizing it so I figured I'd mention it.

After several tries junlian finally got something that was in the ballpark of what he wanted to express past his aggression filter.

“I am not your little pony”

While this statement was technically true, it did not mean that he was any less ready to give Cedar a piggy back ride.


You don't realize how much this little reference made my smile. Just the idea of a flat delivery made it perfect.

In slightly related news, WOOHOO Red Dead Redemption 2 looks awesome!

Console exclusive...not as awesome.

Well, I'm bringing it up now, and I'll have you know that I am adamantly OK with it. It's not like we know what we're seeing until you tell us, right?

I'm happy I'm not the only one who found that stock photo creepy as well.

Yay! I'm happy to hear that. When you phrase it like that though my worry feels a little silly.

So how's everyone doing? Looking forward to October and Halloween? I've been playing a lot of Darkest Dungeon the past couple of days and been thinking about trying to throw myself into Dark Souls again. I keep getting lost and forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing next.

Things are going good. Trying to get into the spooky mood by replaying through some horror games I have, but I think I really need to play something new to get the proper spookage going.

I did get to play Doki Doki Literature Club. It's free and I'd recommend it, but VN's, especially ones like these, might not be up your alley. Be warned, though, there are warnings in the game before it starts; heed them closely. That game goes in very interesting places.

I haven't been doing too much recently. A friend of mine tried to get me into ARK survival evolved and then they abandoned me to a world of pain and dinosaurs.

I've also been playing Monster Hunter Stories and I've been thinking about revisiting some of my older games again. All in all I've been doing pretty good

@agentnumalolI'm perfectly fine with visual novels, naughty or otherwise. If I can survive the likes of "When the Cicadas cry" then I can survive anything. However I'm in the same boat. I think I might have to cave and buy a new spooky game to really get in the Halloween spirit.

@glwgameplayerI need to continue playing Monster Hunter 4 ultimate but the padding on the joystick fell off, I need to get some glue or something to reattach it. Also ARK is interesting, but like most multiplayer games of that nature (RUST, est) it just devolves into a murder hobo simulator. You're more likely to see organized groups of people rounding up, bullying, imprisoning, and killing people who aren't organized.

Still it's a pretty neat concept overall so I can't blame an otherwise neat game for being unpleasant just because of other people.

Okay, finally finished Chara. If any of you are wondering, i thought that since Frisk started with a bandage and stick, chara would arrive with the ruins items as their starter.

@Majoras End Good work Majora! I like what you've done with Chara. Honestly I expected you to make him a purely malevolent character, but your interpretation of him hear is frankly rather intriguing. The Ruin items are basic enough that they can serve as starting equipment, so that's fine.

The LOVE system is also pretty cool. Power and strength over time with experience, but increased instability that makes them more and more of a danger to the group as time goes on.

My only real concern is the Checkpoint ability.

In this roleplay a character's health is very important since if they die then they're dead. While there are ways to bring back dead characters they're not easy to get and the death of a character should be a pretty poignant event. So having a character who can't die for good kind of messes with that.

At the same time however I understand that the checkpoint system kind of goes hand in hand with Chara's determination. They're essentially just a kid and are fairly squishy as a result. Being able to come back from being maimed essentially allows them to beat their head against a problem, winning out through sheer persistence.

So I'm willing to allow it, as long as re-spawning has some kind of consequence. Maybe we could agree on some reoccurring consequence or I could make a list of consequences to roll from. That way Chara can't just come back to life for free and potential abuse could lead to something, really, really bad aka a totally kickass bossfight that threatens to destroy 2Fort.

Outside of that Chara looks great. And nice Touhou picture by the way :)

@Crosswire squeeeee- ty! And consequencial re-spawining sounds neat, and kinda fits them. (the whole "every action has a reaction" thing)

And with their personality, i planed that the manevolent Chara would only "appear" if they're in their genocide mode.

@Majoras EndAwesome! I'm glad you like the setup, I'll get to work on the re-spawn consequence list when I get the chance. Having Chara's more malevolent tenancies come out as a result of his own murderous actions makes a surprising amount of sense. Also "Genocide Mode" is a really cool term overall. Like something out of an adrenaline pumping action anime.

And no problem. Touhou is really cute. The Halloween banner at the bottom of your posts is really kickass and fitting for the season!
