Kobold King he/him Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Just finished Calamity. In a good way, of course. In the very best of ways. BUT WHAT THE SPARKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mail-mi he/him Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Running list of ways Calamity is destroying my characters: Epic twins have identical powersets, not different like Impact and MV which means they need to have their powers retconned or else I need them to secretly have both powers which means they're both some of the most overpowered Epics in the game. Idea: Just retcon them into being not genetically identical twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Idea: Just retcon them into being not genetically identical twins. It's been mentioned a little too often and it's a pretty big part of their characters. Plus I have some confusion as to whether it's only identical twins or simply all twins, IIRC Knighthawk said that other twins simply killed each other, not other identical twins. Could just be a shortening but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King he/him Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Please stand by. Twi is creating a new headcanon for her husbando. Please stand by. For the record, I agree with your statements on the Calamity reaction thread. Loved the book as a whole, but I prefer our interpretation of his character than the canon one.

It is the only post on a new account that only joined today, so either a troll or someone just unfamiliar with the RP. A lot of things wrong there.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I told breakingamber to clear adopting Travis and Kathy with Mailliw first, as well as the edited post.

Edgedancer he/him Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 The ebook company says it is released on the 18th and it is the 18h here and it ISN'T RELEASED YET D: At this point they are just cruel. It's been mentioned a little too often and it's a pretty big part of their characters. Plus I have some confusion as to whether it's only identical twins or simply all twins, IIRC Knighthawk said that other twins simply killed each other, not other identical twins. Could just be a shortening but not sure. Pretty sure it's only identical twins, as they would follow the same principle as the Motivator of Calamity... not bothering to keep the pieces of flesh appart?

Blackhoof Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Funny thing about multiple PIs is that PIs usually are mutually exclusive. Like what's the point of having regeneration, intangibility AND invulnerability? Everything will pass through you or not hurt you anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what's the point of having regeneration, intangibility AND invulnerability? Everything will pass through you or not hurt you anyway Redundacy at its finest. Although, I guess a couple of abilities that don't quite make it to PI levels working together to synergize into High Epic status would at least make sense.

Mckeedee123 he/him Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 No, seriously what did I miss? Amber's post didn't really contain anything. It basically just stated the Epic's name, and then said that he had 12 or 13 powers that were totally broken. Everything Voidus brought up there was valid (including the fact that the guy could supposedly mind-control other Epics and stuff.) It was sort of comical, in a we-need-to-contact-this-person-ASAP kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
