Aspiring Writician

Just a 20 year old guy working on various projects. Most notable a Homestuck based DnD system alongside a few hidden non-fanmade projects of my own creation. One of my previous projects, if anyone would like to check it out, is a game called Towergirls on TableTop Simulator and uploaded to its Workshop.

Leveling

Forgot to do one of these today, so here you go. Leveling in Tablestuck is a bit weird but is pretty known as well (at least, to me). Leveling in Tablestuck is purely Achievement based (similar to homestuck). Whether an achievement is worth a Level or not is purely up to GM decision, but typically those achievements are something semi-important to that character or notable in general. There are 60 Echeladder Rungs and 10 Godtier ranks.

To help rank this Achievements are ranked in between 1-3.

Achievement Rank 1 - Gives 1 Level/Echeladder Rung - A simple achievement (Killed their first imp, found their first dungeon, reached their first gate, did their first alchemy, finish a simple quest, ect)

Achievement Rank 2 - Gives 2-3 Levels/Echeladder Rungs - A notable achievement (Defeated their Guardian, defeated a Boss, met another PC on their land, ect)

Achievement Rank 3 - Gives 4-5 Levels/Echeladder Rungs - A major achievement (Defeated their Denizen, achieved something important story wise, something major happens to a character development wise, ect)

Fraymotifs and Fraymotif Building

Fraymotifs are a special type of ability that has to be bought from specifc Fraymotif Consort Shops. Their prices vary depending on what type of fraymotif it is and what number of fraymotif it is for the player buying it. The three types of Fraymotifs are Solomotifs, Duet-Motifs and Triplet-Motifs. Solo motifs are Fraymotifs that are used by just a single PC. Duet-Motifs are a Fraymotif that requires 2 PC's of the corresponding aspects to use it at the same time. Triplet-Motifs are a Fraymotif that act like Duet-Motifs, but require 3 PC's of the corresponding aspects to use it at the same time instead of 2. When a person manages to buy a Fraymotif, they then proceed to Build it. Fraymotifs are built in tandem by the people that can utilize them. If a solo-motif is bought, then the player that bought it builds the motif by themself, if a duet or triplet-motif is bought then it is built by the players involved in it. FRAYMOTIF BUILDING Fraymotifs have a certain amount of points that players can use to buy effects that happen once that fraymotif becomes active. Fraymotifs are built by the PC's using it. First the PC's name the fraymotif (which typically takes a musical term and combines it with a term relating to their aspect), then the PC's come up with an idea as to how they want that Fraymotif to work. The DM and the PC's write down the effects that PC wants it to have, then they assign points to those affects to determine how effective they are. Points work on a 1 for 1 point basis except for in terms of damage, in which every 1 point in damage is multiplied by (Total player(s) level divided by 2)). Tier 1 Solo Fraymotif - 12 Motif-Points Tier 2 Solo Fraymotif - 15 Motif-Points Tier 3 Solo Fraymotif - 17 Motif-Points Duet Motifs - 20 Motif-Points Triplet Motifs - 25 Motif Points. So for example, a Rung 60 Heir of Breath buys their first Fraymotif and decides that this Fraymotif, once activated, has a Buff effect to Attack and Damage rolls that lasts a few rounds. Points work on a 1 for 1 point basis, so the player assigns 5 Points to the Damage buff (giving +150 to Damage rolls), 5 Points to the Attack buff (giving +5 to attack rolls) and the last 2 points on the amount of rounds it lasts, meaning it lasts 2 rounds. This means that the player has created a decent damage and attack buff, but it doesn't last very long. FRAYMOTIF PRICES Tier 1 Solo Fraymotif - 10 Boonbonds Tier 2 Solo Fraymotif - 100 Boonbonds Tier 3 Solo Fraymotif - 1,000 Boonbonds First Duet-Motif - 10,000 Boonbonds Subsequent Duet-Motifs - x1.5 of previous price  First Triplet-Motif - 100,000 Boonbonds Subsequent Triplet-Motifs - x1.5 of previous price

Changing character stat names

I’m changing the character stat names to stuff that sounds more homestucky. As suggested by a friend of mine. And also because I can. Finesse changed to Scamperway Physique changed to Semperstand Smarts changed to Brainitude Aspect Manipulation changed to Flummoxie Sagacity to Sagesense Allure to Verballistamina

[boredcreativist-blog]

Help, they’re *thinking*. 

[boredcreativist-blog]

The game sessions

So as a heads up i’ll be doing 2 different sessions of this. The first is gonna be an normal story based one where I unload my masterful DM skills on these unsuspecting bucket users (the poor fools.) The other is a test session with people experienced at breaking and gaming shit in DnD. I’m gonna be putting whatever they get up to here too, alongside the rules stuff. Ya’ll have fun with that info

[boredcreativist-blog]

So a friend in a Tablestuck session just pointed this out to me. He has no idea how much i’m gonna fucking abuse this in the session. Jesus christ this is gonna be great. Good luck.

[boredcreativist-blog]

I should try and get some art for this but my art skills suck horrorterror tentacles maybe I should find somebody to do that. Or just do it myself and hope for the best. That sounds like a less taxing thing to do rather then social interaction.

[boredcreativist-blog]

I’ve come to the decision to only upload like, 1 day at a time for these rule things. So you have fun with that.

Character Creation Rules

Every Character starts out with 1 Aspect Ability (chosen from the Ability Spread sheet). If your Blood gives you any special abilities (Telekinesis, ect) make sure to put the mechanics of what that is in the Notes section all the way to the right in the sheet. When choosing your starter aspect ability, keep in mind it's unlock condition. Your Character also recieves their first 2 Roletechs, however those Roletechs have an Unlock Condition that you must fufill before you can use it. Health is decided by Class Base Dice + Aspect Health Modifier + Physique for every level. At level 1 Characters don't roll Health, instead they take the maximum number that can be rolled + Aspect Health Modifier + Physique for their base starting health. For Stats, Base Human Average is a 4. You can choose to Roll Stats via rolling 1d8 per stat, or you can do Point Buy, with 28 Points (A stat can only go up to 8 at a maximum via Point Buy). YOU CANNOT PUT POINTS INTO PLUCK! A Stat adds to a relevant roll exactly equal to what number that stat is. So if Mangrit is at 1, then your Mangrit related rolls would get +1, while if your Finesse is at 8, your Finesse related rolls would get +8. If a Stat is at 0, then you cannot roll for that stat at all. A STAT CANNOT GO ABOVE 12! The current stats are: Mangrit (AKA Strength) Finesse (AKA Dexterity) Physique (AKA Constitution) Smarts (AKA Intelligence) Sagacity (AKA Wisdom) Allure (AKA Charisma) Aspect Control (for freeform Aspect manipulation) Pluck (Basically like Mana but for doing classpect abilities) Choose your Denizen. (I have a list of these, maybe i’ll upload it one day, maybe you’ll have to wait till the official document, who knows, I sure don’t.) Players (or DM) decide who is the Dreamer. This is a person whose awakened on their moon from the start. There can multiple Dreamers, though it's up to GM to decide on how many. You can decide your Strife Specibus from the start, but you can also choose to leave it blank. If you choose to leave it blank that means that the first thing you try to use as a weapon in game, becomes your Strife Specibus. Players choose between either Derse or Prospit as their Dream Moon. Players are equally split between both moons. You can decide your Fetch Modi from the start, or you can choose to get a random one from the d20 Table. Every Fetch Modus has its own set of rules on how it works, be careful not to inconvenience yourself, though sometimes those inconveniences can be useful if used correctly. (I also have a list of these too (20 of them, for the d20 table, duh) might share that too might not.) Characters can choose to start with 1 item in their Strife Deck (though it must be in line with their strifekind) and 1 item in their Fetch Modus. Players have a House/Hive Item List, which is a list of Items that are generally located in your home and where. You don't have to put specific items (unless you believe it's important enough to warrant it) you just have to put what kinds of items and where they are located. This is to help the GM decide what you can and can't use for Alchemy. For example if a player puts "Gardening Equipment" and its location as the "Shed in the Backyard" then if that player says "I want to alchemize a Rocket Launcher from my shed in the backyard with my fridge", the DM will look at the Item list for that player and make a decision based on what they find, in this case the DM would say "Well, you only have Gardening Equipment in your shed, and you don't have any item groups or a rocket launcher specifically located anywhere on your Item List, so you can't do that". You can add and edit as many rooms and items in said rooms as you like, within reason, during character creation. Players choose a Berserk Trigger at character creation, however they do not gain the ability to use said Berserk Trigger until they have reached Echeladder Rung 30. When a player uses their Berserk Trigger they lose control of their character (unless the Berserk Trigger says otherwise) and the DM decides what they would due with it (with assistance from the player themself). Optionally the GM can decide that players can still control their character while their Berserk Trigger is active, but a character during their Berserk Trigger focuses all of their attention and aggression on the thing that triggered it in the first place, and if said thing is dead/non-existent, they will then focus their aggression and attention on whatever is close by, even other players and friends. A Berserk Trigger lasts 1d10 turns (unless the Berserk Trigger says otherwise) and costs Pluck to utilize it's ability. In order to activate their Berserk Trigger the character must be under great emotional stress. However this also means that when a character is under great emotional stress and doesn't want to Berserk Trigger, they must do a DC 24 Sagacity Resistance check, if they fail this check then that character Berserk Triggers anyway, whether they want to or not.

Everything Is AWFUL and I’m Not Okay: Questions to Ask Before Giving Up on Yourself

Are you hydrated? 

If not, have a glass of water. Dehydration can mimic or increase feelings associated with anxiety and a well hydrated brain functions optimally. Avoid excess caffeine. 

Have you eaten in the past three hours? 

Don’t be a victim of hanger! Get some food–something with protein, not just simple carbs or high-fat. Nuts, hummus, and veggies are great options to feed your studying brain. Keep healthy snacks within reach to avoid mindlessly chowing down on sweets. 

Have you stretched your legs in the past day? 

If not, do so right now. If you don’t have the energy or time for a run or a trip to the gym, just walk around the block or building. Even minimal exercise preps the mind for learning so that you can focus better and recall things easier, plus it’s good to get a change of scenery. 

Have you said something nice to someone in the past day? 

Do so, whether online or in person. Make it genuine! We bet your study partner would appreciate a compliment. 

Have you moved your body to music in the past day?

If not, jog for the length of a song at your favorite tempo, or just dance around your bedroom for the length of an upbeat song (singing along is a bonus) 

Have you cuddled a living being in the past two days?

If not, do so. Don’t be afraid to ask for hugs from friends of friends’ pets. Most of them will enjoy the cuddles too; you’re not imposing. 

Have you started or changed any medications in the past couple of weeks, including skipped doses or a change in generic prescription brand? 

That may be screwing with your head. Give things a few days, then talk to your doctor if it doesn’t settle down. 

If daytime: are you dressed? 

If no, put on clean clothes that aren’t PJs. Give yourself permission to wear something special, whether it’s a funny t-shirt or a pretty dress. 

If nighttime: are you sleepy and fatigued but resisting going to sleep? 

Put on PJs, make yourself cozy in bed with a teddy bear and the sound of falling rain, and close your eyes for fifteen minutes while focusing on breathing deeper with every breath- no electronic screens allowed! Adequate sleep is a necessity for stress management. 

Do you feel ineffective? 

Pause right now and get something small completed, whether it’s responding to an email, loading the dishwasher, or tidying up your room. Good job!

Do you feel unattractive? 

Take a darn selfie. Your friends will remind you how great you look. You are always insta-worthy. 

Do you feel paralyzed by indecision?

Give yourself ten minutes to sit back and figure out a game plan for the day. If a particular decision or problem is still being a roadblock, simply set it aside for now, and pick something else that seems doable. Right now, the important part is to break through that stasis, even if it means doing something trivial. 

Have you over-exerted yourself lately–physically, emotionally, socially, or intellectually? 

That can take a toll that lingers for days. Give yourself a break in that area, whether it’s physical rest, taking some time alone, or relaxing with some silly entertainment for a little. Time spent refreshing yourself is never time “wasted!” 

Have you waited a week? 

Sometimes or perception of life is skewed, and we can’t even tell that we’re not thinking clearly, and there’s no obvious external cause. It happens. Keep yourself going for a full week, whatever it takes, and see if you still feel the same way then. 

You’ve made it this far; and you will make it through. You are stronger than you think.
