“Should we use our magic backpacks to get some camping gear?” Souls pants, having run up by the group.

"Wait, the packs are magic? How do they work? Are they like a Bag of Holding from D&D? If so, nobody try to put one inside the other. It'll probably go boom."

Wait I thought if you put a bag of holding inside another bag of holding it sent you to the Astral Realm? Maybe that’s just some homebrew my dm made

It does, but I think it also deals some force damage. And also, having one character nowhere near the others is no fun. Said character might become an NPC.

Bags of holding when put inside one another can spew all of the contents into either the physical or ethereal plane, which can be quite deadly depending on what's in them. Going inside it goes to the astral. (And it explodes into the ethereal. Yes. It doesn't make much sense.)

Also, they've changed a lot between editions. I know that at some point they just straight out went boom. Now, they're a bit more... docile.

“Alright let’s have that as some sort of last resort then cause risking it probably isn’t the best option.” CrazyBoy states

“I have ferrorods. But that is pretty good technique. Are you a scout too?” 

“Yeah, that looks good.” Dray takes a break, thunking the axe into the log he’d been chopping over. He comes over and begins to set up a log cabin style fire in the first fire circle, using his split wood and what everyone else had gathered. 

"No I am not a scout" Scars says, "Our school taught us" he smiles. He looks up at the others, a small spark in the tinder already. "But I just made fire, Do we have to leave?"

Has anyone considered:

If this RP is actually us

Then that means these RP characters RP on the shard

And probably signed up for this RP

And then suddenly got sucked in when it started

So that means Glass is the villain

Also, this universe's time moves slower than ours.

And this Elan has gotta be starving cuz he was supposed to eat like 5 minutes after he poofed here.

“Nice. I tried to do that trick at a meeting one time. It didn’t work, though.”

Dray takes the ferrorods and strikes them, sending a shower of sparks at the ground. “I think we’re fine.” (These are real. You might be able to find some videos.)

My headcanon is that this RP doesn’t exist for our characters. I was gonna have Dray check the shard, have an identity crisis, then alter reality by editing my posts, but I decided that was too meta. I have been dropping hints about the shard, though. I think I directly mentioned teleportation RP to The Stormfather.

I think if someone knows how to cook, they can conjure ingredients with the bags.

Glass slid to a stop at the base of the path, and looked very suave doing it.

"Hi, SF!" She turned to everyone else. "Hey, everyone else. Look, we don't see much of a point in staying here. We're kind of secluded here, and it would probably be better to build some sort of signal from higher up anyway."

"Well what's keepin us waiting?", Uni asks, "lets find some sap and get going... Also is anyone else hungry?"

Does knowing how to cook ramen count ?  But in all seriousness I think the bag shouldn’t give foodstuff. Maybe spices tho. I (kinda) know how to cook

Things you put in the bags you can just pull out later.

Yeah the bags can't produce food.

Salt would be fine though.

 

"Yeah, I'm kind of hungry." Glass said. "All I had for breakfast was a slice of cheese..."

I did that once.

Well...

I traded places with one of my characters

And changed my profile name

And basically turned into him for a sec

Wait could we just put the fire in the bag and dump it out later.

"Cheese? How on earth is that a breakfast?"

Uhhhh I would not advise that...

I mean the backpacks are still flammable and it takes a second for things to disappear so...

Fire not good right now.

Also you might catch other things you've put in the backpack on fire? Idk. I haven't decided how that works yet.

Probably it's just gonna be like the DnD thing.

"You need to eat. It's important." Elan picks a few wild raspberries off of a bush nearby, inspecting them first to make sure they're good. "Have some of these." He hands them over.

They tasted pretty good.
