Superlative Lexis

Superlative Lexis is an original TTRPG series using JelloApocalypse's 'Anime Campaign' system and inspired by the series of the same name. The main hook of this system are the creative movesets. In this world 1 in 6 people are born with a power called an Epithet, which is a randomly generated word that gives the user unique powers. Similar to quirks from MHA or stands from Jojo. The other 5 in 6 people are known as Mundies, and have no such powers, but can grow in other interesting ways. Structured as a series of one-shots with a rotating cast of characters and Co-GMs, Superlative Lexis follows adventures in various settings including a vampire's penthouse, a dried up sea full of cowboy/pirates and even outer space. The story revolves around the mysterious organisation known as X-ray Occupation in their efforts to create the Ultimate Epithet. The tone is generally laid back and humorous, the 'rule of cool' is in full effect. Check out our Youtube for highlights and full episodes! Chat with us on Discord!

More fanart for @superlativelexis ttrpg campaign!

Another big shout out to our good friend @the-bitter-ocean​ for some more, equally amazing fanart ( as well as our new episode 2 thumbnail ) ! <3

Hey everyone !

We’re very, very close to filming episode 3, so keep an eye out for updates on that. But in the mean time, with everything going on in the world right now, and everyone self-quarantining, we thought we’d film a last minute, fun, only few-hours long session of Everyone is John ! For those who don’t know what that is, it’s basically a pretty simple TTRPG where all players control the same NPC, but with different goals. I haven’t played before personally, but have wanted to for a while, and it just sounds like a blast.

Some of the people playing you might already recognize from previous episodes, some people you might eventually recognize in future episodes, and some are just our completely unrelated friends who are along for the ride. Either way, as per usual, our roll20 server and discord will be open for you guys to listen in and interact via the roll20 chat, so if anyone wants to just have a few hours of some hopefully amusing down time, why not come join us ? We’re starting at 6pm GMT !

Juniper is a cheerful and breezy competetor in the Shogun Trials during episode 1. Juniper is a tough nut to crack with her 'ability' to utilise many BIG GUNS. This is not an ability, she is a Mundie, she just has big guns. She is a terror on the battlefield despite her friendly aura.

She's also a celebrity due to being the voice actress for the collectible monsters in the popular Magical Marsh Monsters franchise. Truly a Jack of all trades.

Since we forgot to also make this post to tumblr, this feels like the perfect time to advertise our new, official Instagram page ! We’ll try our best to post as many of these to this blog as possible, but if you’d enoy some home-made memes, funny quotes and hilarious clips from the series on a semi-regular basis, why not go give us a follow @supelative_lexis ?

NEW HIGHLIGHT!

This is the introduction to the second episode of Superlative Lexis, showing the aftermath of the first episode as well as the mission laid out for the players going into the new game. A certain peely-boy gets in trouble with his boss and a certain secretive schoolgirl gets an urgent communication from hers. Lots of bosses in this one.

A very powerful quote from the twins Mike and Charlie Sierra. Two characters you can meet in Superlative Lexis episode one. They are competing against the players to win the tournament and... They don't seem to have much of an endgame other than to create havoc and be a nuisance. They have a very unique epithet(s?) so make sure to watch and find out their deal.

Hey guys, me again !

I’m sure you’re getting sick of personal posts by now, but fear not ! Now you can experience them in real time, by joining the Superlative Lexis discord !

Up until now, we’ve mostly been using it for character creation + sharing, as well as general player and GM chat, arranging that sort of thing. But with us having more recently opened up an audience roles to some interested persons ( primarily people members already know who were interested in watching and interacting with out episodes live via the roll20 chat, which I believe is first seen in our full episode two stream ), alongside some recent developments with our somewhat wider fanbase, we’ve decided to open up this role to anybody and everybody !

Obviously there are some rules, just to keep things clean and fun, but if you’re interested in interacting with the episodes live and for-free ( including the ability to hop in and out as you please - don’t worry, we are self-aware as to how long they are ), or even just interacting with the cast, GMs, and maybe even fellow fans, in-between episodes, then why not give it a look ? I promise you won’t regret it !

NEW CHARACTER!

Meet Felix Gaius Octavius Alexandre Duvont, the former student prefect at the Westminster Chester Afield Highschool. But with that school being, incapacitated, he has instead turned his attention to Silver Park High School, where he intends to bring order and show off his superiority. Impatient, and at times unwilling to compromise, Felix hates being ignored and is fond of forming alliances. When he gains something from them, anyway.

So I drew some fanart for @superlativelexis epithet erased campaign! I’ll be sure to draw more art in the future but for now here’s a drawing of eris:

[superlativelexis]

Here’s some amazing Eris fanart by the equally ( if not more so ) amazing @the-bitter-ocean​ ! We’ve been speaking privately a bit, but I just wanted to give you ( yet another ) huge thank you ! You taking the time and effort to do this really means a lot to all of us <3

[superlativelexis]

NEW CHARACTER!

Meet BIG-GAME TONY. He has to train for the BIG GAME tomorrow. He is the star of the sports team so the BIG GAME means a lot to him so he must train... for the BIG GAME

[superlativelexis]

Hey guys !

I’m going to interrupt my usual content, formatting and posting schedule to bring up the RP of and full episode 2, all at once !

Now, I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that I tend to post the videos on here a while after they come out, and that’s so I can post character profiles and highlights relevant to said episode before hand. This is so I can both have a consistent posting schedule and so I don’t suddenly have to change tactics if we ever do end up actually catching up to the episodes themselves ( if you’d rather I just post things as they come out though then let me know, I’m always open to feedback ! ).

However, our amazing primary GM, Edd, has worked really hard on this episode and is very proud of it, and honestly I think a lot of us are really excited for episode 3 with all the work that’s going into it ( we’ve technically been ready to go on the RP episode for months, but we want to get most of the background stuff for the main episode done before filming that so we can do both relatively close together ), and it might actually be our best yet !

But if you enjoyed episode 1, then you’re going to love episode 2 ! It’s bigger, better, and maybe even funnier ! And if you’re not already a fan/follower, but a fan of other TTRPGs ( especially Jello’s Anime Campaign and the subsequent show, Epithet Erased, from which we have borrowed the system/concept ), then hopefully you’ll love this too !

So, without further adieu, enjoy both parts of Superlative Lexis: Episode Two, Adjust Silver Park !

NEW CHARACTER!

Meet Rare Oki Orana. She's somewhat of a snob, don't get dirt on her, she will scream. She loves fashion and style, and may accidentally offend you but she doesn't care because she's about to give you a make over hunny!

[superlativelexis]

Hey guys !

I saw this trending recently, so I just wanted to make a quick shout out to all the artists out there who supply us with the amazing icon source that is piccrew !

I think, currently, all but one of our character icons have been made with one piccrew or another, and while I unfortunately can’t go back through every single one and name names ( I could likely do so for any icons made by me, but I would have to source out to other players/GMs and hope they remember for any others ), but if anyone would like to know which piccrew was made for a particular icon, I will certainly try !

Also, if there are any artists who’s work we have used who would like a shout-out, then please, don’t be afraid to send us an ask or a message, and we’ll gladly tag you. Better yet, if you can point out icons made with your art, we’ll happily connect your name to them <3

NEW CHARACTER!

Meet Seraphina/Seraph Echo. A cheerfully enthusiastic girl willing to take any challenge head on. She faces stressful situations head on, sometimes described as a 'ray of sunshine'. For a new student she seems to excel in what she does, yet never talks about her powers or abilities... thus she leaves it ambiguous as to whether she is a Mundie or an Epithet.

Hey guys !

Sorry about the radio silence, again. I kid you not, I have had issues with my laptop & external hard-drive 3 times since December alone. I’m going to try and get our schedule back on track again ( with both the RP and full session of episode 2 having been recorded and filmed already ), but sadly I won’t be able to make any highlights to share with you guys for a little while longer !

That being said, I sincerely hope you enjoy the content that I can currently provide, which will be any highlights made by our amazing main-GM and character profiles for the up-coming Episode Two: Adjust Silver Park !
