mood af, I wanna be like super RP-focussed in my campaigns but also I love the tension of a good fight!!! I also wish I could actually play myself someday thooooo
hfarash replied to your post “the main thing about me GM’ing anything ever is I don’t think I can...”
FUCKING MOOD! There are so many game systems I want to play but I also don't want to GM them but also I'm probably the only person who *can* GM them on account of havign the materials
This is the key downside to every tabletop game: Someone Has To GM
hfarash replied to your post: that being said, I’d pay a million dollars for...
I’m pretty sure “WH40K but without racism so there’s Fun Adventuring Parties” is just Dungeons: The Dragoning (but also with more random shit thrown in because why not)
It’s not quite the same bc it’s not in space and has less Warhammer bullshit like
there’s rough parallels you can draw, sure, but it doesn’t have the same schlocky 90′s-style edgy nonsense I like about the series;
hfarash replied to your post: anyways hey what’s up I got the Code Vein demo so...
important question, how do i get this demo of this character creator that happens to have a game attached
WELL the Demo’s only up on PS4 and Xbone as far as I know, and for PS4 I couldn’t find it on the actual PS4 so I had to go look up the entry on the desktop website (that’s here btw) and get it through there, idk if XBone does anything obnoxious like that or not tho
Also I don’t know if you even have a PS4 or an Xbone, so this might all be useless information for you, additionally;

My stepmom’s cat is in his 20s somewhere, completely deaf, and extremely loud because of it. My dad is less than happy about this. I’m pretty sure that Dad’s hatred only made the cat stronger
they ARE creatures of chaos and spite, so that would check out, actually;
jesus christ hinoa i. got high and IMMEDIATELY forgot i reblogged that so i open my inbox and see this and i was just like. schrodinger furry ?????
🐾 - Pets
anyway, YES! schrody has two orange Cymric cats, brothers, named Llefelys and Llud after characters in Welsh mythology! they're both dumb as hell and have one brain cell between them. they love stealing his socks. also llew is the kind of person to feed his cats really fancy borderline 'raw' petfood. lots of fish for these guys.

Okay yeah, that's fair, "gay girls" does kind of cover your entire wheelhouse. Pick one based on a tabletop game that isn't D&D or Lancer
Hi I fell asleep and then got distracted but I'm awake and un-distracted so good morning I'm using this as an excuse to talk about one of my Double Cross characters bc I don't have a lot of opportunities for that okay here we go-
Okay, so, her name is Velvet, she's an interplanetary rover and a Renegade being (talked about before here) (tl;dr: the setting's superpower juice can infect things beyond humans, including robotics, and non-human things it infects can disguise themselves as humans) the basic concept came from people humanizing electronics and especially like, the specific way they do it for the ones designed to explore space (bc it's one of the few times it comes off as genuinely sweet and not weird), and as with all things that I find kind of neat, I made a character about it;
SO, a lot of character creation in Double Cross has the option to use random tables to roll or pick from and while most elements can just be done freestyle if you want, I like the tables, so a lot of this next bit is gonna talk about me interpreting said tables because I think it was fun-
First up is actually something that doesn't come from a table, which is work and cover, work is what the character does and it affects their stats and skill and etc, and cover is what they appear to be normally, like your work could be "vigilante" while your cover was "businessman", for a completely random example- So, Velvet is a Renegade being so her Work is that she's a Renegade Being (C) and her cover is that she's an information broker, because she comes installed with wifi and also picked up a some secrets by being an advanced piece of robotics built to explore space
Then for the next bit there's Origin, Experience, Encounter, Awakening, and Impulse, the former three are to set up connections with other people bc themes and etc and the latter two describe how you came into contact with the Renegade and your primary feeling when you go sicko mode for whatever reason
So for Origin she gets "Watched from Above" which suggests "Protector" as the relevant person, so, because she's exploring distant planets, "Above" becomes "down on Earth" with the protector being a member of the operating staff, Experience is "Harsh Environment" and you'd think that'd be space, and it kind of is part of it, but I'm also using it to describe the environment she returns to, and the "Ally" it suggests as the connection is going to be a small animal (I haven't actually decided specifically what bc I haven't done any art yet but my first thought is a lab rat but I'm also compelled by maybe a squirrel or a small bird)
Now Encounter is an interesting one bc this table actually directs you to specific NPCs with full profiles, for that one I ended up rolling Admiration for the student council president who's hardworking and super nice and cute and everyone likes her and yeah I'll take that free yuri--
Awakening is one that I had a lot of fun with bc the only mechanical effect is that it dictates a portion of the stat that indicates how active your Renegade is by default and I was having a hard time choosing between Anger and Yearning, but then I noticed that they have the exact same value mechanically, so I decided the answer is both-
and then Impulse is, well, an impulse your character has when they lose control because themes, mechanics, etc-- her's isn't esp interesting bc it's Hatred, which is just an extension of her awakening being Anger-
Okay this is taking too long and I'm getting embarrassed so the last segment is what she's actually capable of doing with her abilities so I'll make this slightly quicker maybe idk I'm trying--
All the powers in this game are divided into one of 13 syndromes and you get to pick between 1-3 of them, Velvet has 2 and they're Black Dog (control over electricity and by extension machinery, electronics, magnetism, cybernetics, etc) and Morpheus (creation and manipulation of items, a lot of its abilities are equipment upgrades and pulling new gear out of thin air)
The former was obviously necessary bc she's a robot so ofc she has a bunch of the cybernetic powers but then for Morpheus I actually just picked that one specifically for one of their RP-only powers, Component Analysis
y'know, bc she's a rover, it'd be weird if she couldn't identify materials-
