_{Co-GM comment to the BOSS: 9.30.20.00:03 PST}

Messing with basic CS design for NPCs using your CS for our players. It's
incredibly simplified in comparison.

Finished basic location guide for what I imagine are our four main locations.
Can flesh them out a bit more later, especially after the OOC and we get some
outside ideas flooding in.

You need to stop staying up so late.

Then again, so do I...
‏‏‎
‏‏‎ 
  To Do:
·So much...
·Skills and special commands.
	-Still need to balance.
	-Still need to add a few more.
·Appendices for Crafting, Cooking, Flora and Fauna.
	-Still need to fill.
·Navigation system.
	-Removing the navigation I have in each section and will change it to 
	 navigation to specific posts (much like my 'player handbook').
·NPC CSs
	-Speaking of. Add NPCs to the other locations.
‏‏‎
‏‏‎ 
  °˖✧Complete*: ･ﾟ
9.15.20 · Resources guide. Simple version. It might be enough.
9.19.20 · Added required base stats for skills. May need balance. Will add more.
        · Added 'Post Turn' and 'Combat' to the guide.
9.19.20 · Added branching skills and remaining required stats. Will edit as more
	  skills are added.

Microfiction&Poetry Contest #1 - Voting and Feedback

I can't vote for this. I have tried and spent an entire night reading through these and watching as each one climbs to the top and then another comes along and knocks it off it's throne. Some left me very contemplative, others in awe. One of them made me laugh and there was one that was just so cute and short and it'd probably be my ringtone. So, instead of giving critiques, I'm simply going to leave a comment on how a few made me feel and why they stuck out to me. There's a loose order here but I'm also half asleep with a terrible cup of coffee trying to pick up where I left off.

полуденное солнце
It's four lines but there's too much nuance in this. And the way it's been served to me; like a plate from a restaurant with a michelin star. It tastes amazing even if I don't understand all the flavors and it's plated the best by far. It's somber but I have an odd appreciation for poems like this.

The aesthetic tho.

The Lepidopterist
An eerily dark and yet still inviting Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.

Sensitivity to Initial Conditions
Appreciation for this grew on me after the second read. For being less of a poem and too real a thing. It's really sad in that way. Not because of a concept but because I could walk outside and run into this man.

The more I think about it, the more real it gets and it's too early for that.

Butter Flies
"You're not my dad!"

Oh my fucking god.

I don't know. I have a few days so maybe I'll come back and actually vote. It seems silly not to.

Post a random fact about yourself.

I have a DDR cabinet finding app on my phone.

Ask the Person Below You a Question v2

I recently sat next to a fire pit with a mug of hot chocolate. This mug had the little marshmallows in it that remind you that you were once a kid but fuck it you can still enjoy this. So I did. Very content indeed. Also very warm.

Is there a word you really dislike? Why?

To make it interesting, we can leave out anything clearly offensive or derogatory. Like rural. Who did this to us and why?

Is forum Roleplaying beginning to slow down?

I can't speak for everyone else but as for me, I've simply grown up, found where my limits are and stuck to it. When I was younger, I could sign up for near ten games and play all of them until they died on their own. Nowadays, I'm too busy, too distracted with other things, too invested in my own life to have enough time for anything more than two.

If the golden age of forum RP was

probably 1998-2014

@Inkarnate

then many of those same players have grown as well and are doing the same. None of us have left (I started 2006). We're around.

So to answer the question, forum RP is on the decline, not because the hobby is dying but because it has expanded to include other forms of media and most of the ones who used to forum RP are probably doing other things.

But I'm no expert. I just live here sometimes.

Can I hire someone to say the word 'rural' for me?

^{F E A T U R E S
_{E X P E R T I S E (class)}}

Proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check made for two chosen proficiencies (sleight of hand, thieves' tools).

_{^{S N E A K A T T A C K (class)}}

Once per turn, deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature hit with an attack with a finesse or ranged weapon if there is advantage on the attack roll. Advantage is not required on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 ft. of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and there is no disadvantage on the attack roll.

_{^{T H I E V E S ' C A N T (class)}}

Learn thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows for hidden messages in seemingly normal conversation. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.

_{^{C U N N I N G A C T I O N (class)}}

Take a bonus action on each turn to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

_{^{R O G U I S H A R C H E T Y P E (class)}}

Swashbuckler

_{^{F A N C Y F O O T W O R K (class)}}

During the turn, if a melee attack is made against a creature, that creature can’t make opportunity attacks back for the rest of the turn.

_{^{R A K I S H A U D A C I T Y (class)}}

CHA modifier (+2) is added to initiative rolls. Advantage unnecessary on the attack roll to use Sneak Attack against a creature if within 5 ft. of it, no other creatures are within 5 ft., and there is no disadvantage on the attack roll.

_{^{D A R K V I S I O N (race)}}

See in darkness (shades of gray) up to 60 ft.

_{^{F E L I N E A G I L I T Y (race)}}

When moving during combat, move speed can be doubled until the end of the turn. Once used, this trait can’t be used again until a turn has been spent with 0 movement.

_{^{C A T ' S C L A W S (race)}}

Climbing speed increased to 20 ft. and claws are natural weapons that deal 1d4 +1 slashing damage, instead of the normal bludgeoning damage for an unarmed strike.

_{^{C A T ' S T A L E N T (race)}}

Proficiency in the Perception and Stealth skills.

_{^{B A D R E P U T A T I O N (background)}}

No matter where you go, people are afraid of you due to your reputation. When you are in a civilized settlement, you can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing to pay for food at a tavern or breaking down doors at a local shop, since most people will not report your activity to the authorities.

_{^{I D E A L S (neutral)}}

People. He's committed to the people he can call friends and not to the ideals of the lifestyle he may or may not be emulating.

_{^{B O N D S}}

He has a paramour, somewhere, whose eyes nearly stole him... or maybe she did.

_{^{F L A W S}}

He can’t help but pocket loose coins and other trinkets he comes across.

_{^{O B S E S S I O N (race)}}

His curiosity is currently fixed on a location.

_{^{Q U I R K S (race)}}

Mist is a font of random trivia from the lore and stories he's discovered.

^{H I S T O R Y}

Most of Mist's life has been on the move. In fact, all of it has. His mother gave birth to him while travelling. His friends were made and forgotten in single days. His first theft was from a shop in a town ten miles away from where his family had decided to finally stay... and subsequently left because of him. The last time he was ever 'home' was at the age of 9 when he'd let himself wander for too long and fallen in the arms of men less benevolent than the ones he knew.

Life only sped up from there. Forced to work to make up for the items he'd attempted to make off with. Work he was only too happy to oblige when the alternative was losing an arm. When business began to fail, he was sold off to help keep some place he didn't really care about afloat. His buyers cleaned him up, taught him some minor life lessons... and then let him get kidnapped?

Life on a ship was odd... but fascinating to the young boy and he very quickly acclimated to a world that was constantly on the edge. He learned to sail. Learned to navigate. Learn his way around every inch of his seaworthy vessel. Learned to read the weather. Learned to read the sky. Learned to read the people around him. He was a natural with others. Quick with his tongue and knew how to spin a good tale as his life had already begun as one. Seeing the world also helped add a lot of flavor. Being good with people also meant he held all the cards when it came to information.

Information that would lead him to a woman, to fortune and eventually... crewless.

He's let himself wander again and found himself... here.
