Y'know, it's been a long time since I've seen you change your layout, Ran. I'd just like to say that the new one is just as calm and relaxing as before, and achieves a similar effect, but with more elegant graphics, in my opinion.

Rating: Previous layout +3

that's actually a more important point of playing DnD; getting a high score on the Henderson scale

Hoo boy. I've been here a while, mostly just on Forum Games, though. I've been around since before Nightfall, if anyone remembers that - afterward, the user database was reset, and I managed to get one of the first registrations, two users before Some Noisy Nutbag. Can't really find it in me to give enough of a shit to make a quality platformer. I've certainly got opinions about play-by-post RPGs, though, so that's where I fit best, I think. I met my best friends on this site, in that subforum, and I'm thankful for it. When I finally finish getting BFG thrown together, I'll host it, and that'll probably be my last hurrah in terms of activity on SMWC as a whole. It's not in active development, though, so it'll probably be a while.

You look at everyone else in this thread, they've all got five digit, four digit user IDs. Then there's WYE, with his three digit one. I was early.

Provided the basic necessities to live - food, drink, and preferably a soft bed - I'd shrink inward. If food was delivered through a time lock, and there was no human interaction whatsoever, I'd just talk to myself after exploring all apparent avenues of escape. Make up a scenario, talk myself through it. Likely get mad at the past. If I had someone guarding my cell, I'd appeal to them to let me out, provided I didn't choose to be captive in the first place. When that proved fruitless, I'd do the same as if I was alone.

Let's see... For one, he'd really like the color blue. He'd want everything to be blue, actually. Would give zero shits about his reputation wherever he goes - treating servers at restaurants like garbage, leaving shopping carts wherever he wants in parking lots, the kind of stuff that would piss off the person who works that particular job, but not necessarily anyone else. The only time he'd be explicitly nice is when it's unintentional, or it's to a dog.

In terms of looks, think severely underweight. You can make his bones out even with clothes on. Despite that, he'd be a damn good fistfighter and athlete, but not able to argue very well. He'd hate video games, and anything related to them, but be in love with fantasy football. Nobody would be able to tell where he gets all his strength from, considering his build. He'd probably have two or three arrests under his belt, all things considered. It's entirely likely he'd be controlled by the media pretty easily as well, and end up being someone's useful idiot. The type to say "I educate myself with things I already know!" honestly.

She's cute. I like her. 9/10.

I recently added to my random avatar, which isn't available on stupid.li/random/, though I do have a smaller set of images that I'm using in my avatar uploaded there as well.

However, I'd like you to judge a specific avatar of mine, which I'll post below.

If at all possible, I think someone should import this GIF into either some Kaizo YI hack, or vanilla YI. It'd be fun to see at the end of each level, I think. I'm not the one that made it, by the way - it was a person by the name "chaos_defrost".

I've had that happen to me quite a bit as well. If you switch to the D-Pad, you can "fix" it (or at least continue being able to play), but you get less of a range of movement. Nothing that prevents you from getting any of the secrets or beating the game, though.

I made a resolution a long time ago to never make another new year's resolution. Aside from renewing it, I've stuck to it.

Welcome to the thread! Starting off, if your username isn't Impetus, Hexagonaldonut, LucasRCD, or Falconpunch, I'd like to kindly ask you not to post in this thread. There are currently no signups, there will be no signups. These four users will be the players in this game.

Speaking of, let me introduce their souls into this post!
   

Then we just need to infuse them into their characters...

Code
>exec soulbind.exe
>_






Just... uh... imagine that they're animated. The soul fades into the body of the character as the white outline appears around them. I would do it myself, but that's more work than I'm willing to put in at the moment. Linux, html5 and CSS are all pissing me off right now, I don't need another timesink.

ANYWAYS, here's the link to the public spreadsheet. Now that the players' souls are properly imbued into their characters, those souls can comment on that spreadsheet. They're also allowed to post in this thread, like I stated before - but the reason for that is the soul binding. I'll get the world all set up now...

The Wind crystal, which imbues motivation even when we are at our lowest. The Electricity crystal, which is a source of inspiration, even to the least creative. The Light crystal, long believed to be a messenger of God, now it is the greatest source of magic the world over... and the Dark crystal, now kept under close watch by the government so that its untold power will not fall into the wrong hands. The crystals are all enshrined publicly, their splendor visible to all, but they are kept under close watch."

This may be part of the curriculum, but you've heard it a thousand times before. Now might be a good time for a nap. You lay your head down on your arms, confident that nobody will bother you - this is college, after all. However, you have a strange dream...


"Please, help us!"
"They're breaking chunks off of us!"
"Six shards apiece. Six fragments of power."
"They intend to subjugate the people!"
"You are our only hope."
"Gather the shards."
"Make us whole again!"


You awaken with a start, all four of you. The Dragon Quest Eleven box jiggles around in Bernadetta's bag. Keira and Naoi's eyes meet from across the room. Somehow, the four of you understand that you shared the same dream. After class ends, you meet, and decide to look for these crystal shards...

Code
>exec dsel



I know there's only the one dungeon available, but the point of showing the dungeon selector is that players aren't currently in a dungeon. Thus, you can also...



All players have 500 GP, go nuts. GP will be calculated on a per-player basis. You're allowed to trade, but everyone has their own GP totals.

...And I forgot to mention that everyone already has Casual Clothes. I'll just subtract that from FP, Hex and Lucas' shop totals.

So, let me list everyone's current stat totals after equipping their purchases, along with their remaining cash.

NameHPMPATKDEFMATMDFRESSPDAIMEVATGRLUKCRTGP Remaining
Dragon Quest 11 Box479144193919211919123234911290

Keira32714429291920191911020301-915

This will be the only time the above information is visible in its entirety in the thread, excluding the cash; that will be available between dungeons. From here on, when you want to refer to your (or one of your allies') stats, please use the spreadsheet. Think of it as hitting a specific button on the controller, say, right on the control stick when you normally use the D-pad in menus, to bring up your full stats, passives and temporary effects.

I'll give you guys an opportunity to purchase more stuff, but if everyone's good, then we'll head into the first dungeon.

Even though nobody mentioned which dungeon they want to go to, there's only the one, so let's start this shit.

The four chosen by the crystals meet up after school to decide on what to do. Fortunately, the Dragon Quest 11 box never woke up from its dream, due to it being an inanimate object, so it is able to lead the rest of them on their quest. The closest crystal shard to their current location is in a sewer. They all go to some nearby stores to stock up on things they need to keep themselves safe, and proceed into the sewers afterward.

lemme check if this post button works

also, I got roped into this as the Cleric. There isn't really any setup that needs to be done, so I'll just finish this post here. I would draw my own dicesona, but... naw.

We're definitely playing the pilot episode.

Code
Keira uses Examine! The Brownie's stats are posted to the spreadsheet!
Naoi stabs Brownie 2! It takes 47 damage!
Bernie braves once, moves to the back row, and attacks! Brownie 3 takes 53 damage, and is defeated!
The Dragon Quest 11 box attacks! Brownie 6 takes 37 damage!

Brownie 1 punches Keira! He takes 1 damage, hitting the minimum damage cap!
Brownie 2 punches Keira! He takes 1 damage!
Brownie 4 punches the DQ 11 box! It takes 1 damage!
Brownie 5 kicks Keira! He takes 1 damage!
Brownie 6 punches Bernadetta! She takes 1 damage!


I said it before on Discord, but this battle is mainly for me to get used to the formulas. It makes perfect sense that these enemies are too weak to make an impact.
Also, for what it's worth, enemies have rows, too. The two rightmost columns of enemies are in the enemy front row, and any columns further back are in the back row. So, currently, even with Brownie 3 dead, Brownies 1 and 4 are in the back row. When Brownie 6 dies, all enemies will then be in the front row.
