The books established no precedent whatsoever for overseas or even long distance communication via mobiles; and if it were possible, then it seems like David could have known a lot more about Babilar and Ildithia before he visited. Lady Deathskull is from Mexico, which isn't close to Oregon, but is at least part of the same general landmass, making migration from one to the other plausible. And as for why none of the powerful Epics fear threats from overseas, the most likely answer is that they don't, because the world has become much larger and more fragmented, so they have their hands full with local threats. I don't see why, if you want a foreign Epic, he can't be from Canada or Central America; or, if you really want him to be Greek, he couldn't have immigrated to the US or Canada prior to Calamity. Because he believes himself to be the incarnation of Haphaestus himself, one of the council of twelve, plus i just really like Greece. Oh and his cousin(emphasis on the word cousin) who is in canada.

ShadowLord_Lith he/him Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Impressive writing, especially since no human has ever done something like that. We're all getting rather good at turning what we imagine into a fictional reality express in a way that allows others to read it. I expect that's a good thing.
Citadel16 he/him Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 ok so ive been waiting quite a while for the right time to feasibly reinsert my astorian characters... could i do that now? with ragnarok anyway?

Steampunk's invading army from Greece? It's getting really hard to get into a mindset for Marco. Anyone want him? If not, then I'll write a post portraying his death or something. Random thought: We seem to have some extremely insane/different Epic in each city. Portland has Funtimes, Astoria has the Financier, the Dalles got Shiny Sparkle and the panda guy for a limited time only! Insane Epics for 12.99! Does Antithesis really count for the Dalles? There will be some progress towards Salems destruction starting soon. While Soulcaster may be very, very good at taking out other Epics he's also a bit of a glass cannon. If he were to get assasinated it would have pretty serious and immediate consequences. It's a city filled with squabbling, powerful Epics who are all well practiced at fighting other Epics, when destruction does hit it'd likely blow up faster than any of the other cities.

DreamLord_Erith he/him Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 @Voidus how do the salem fights work? Do you pick who fights whom, or do we contact one another and decide?

Up to you who you want to fight, if it's a player character ask them first obviously, if it's an NPC that you're creating just check with me if it's something particularly weird or strong, or I have a stupendously large file of Epics that I can provide a few of upon request.

It will just keep progressing further and further along the plot-line, changing as it wants/needs. Does anyone have any clue what ANY of the RP's goals are? I don't think Salem has one. Portland, I believe, will finish once one of the factions win, or something. And then there's Corvallis. It's the only Oregon RP I haven't completely read through, so... any thoughts on this astonishing revelation? P.S. Welcome back @RippleGylf, good to see you again. I think part of writing a free form rpg is that you leave the future somewhat open so that the characters have room to interact and surprise people. It's a collaborative story, so leaving room for collaboration and input from players Ian important. That at being said, I know I definitely have some end game plots for Corvallis's destruction that may not be all the way foreshadowed at this point and I'm sure other GMs do as well.

I'm not sure... however fast it would take to not kill them but definately knock the wind out of them, maybe break a few bones. 2. It works on Epics. 3.

Although, her name makes me think she's throwing people around with giant shadow hands. A question for curiosity's sake, how violent is the acceleration, like could it snap a neck under the right circumstances, and could she affect some someone incorporeal? Well, in a bit of self-advertisement, I have been trying to push Astoria into less of an overpowered ghetto, so I'd be happy to have you. I can understand if you want to avoid it for just that reason though. 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 29, 2016 Author Posted October 29, 2016 Yeah, @Cognizantastic, I thought it was a fun idea, and I was going to suggest that your most important accessory might be a look of abject terror at the world around you.
