Kidpen he/him Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Are high amounts of meta epics in general discouraged, or just ones that affect others powers? Edited July 1, 2018 by Kidpen
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 There is a WOB that meta Epics are rarer.
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Also, how does one update the map?

Little Trivia: Worm has a parahuman named Sundancer who can do exactly this. Quote So... does he literally physically hurt people with sarcasm? Little trivia: Clapper is the name of a canon High Epic with space warping powers. (Don't worry about it. ) Not unless they are literally spitting as they speak, no That would be a different power, although kind of a funny one. Biting comments literally bite people, a heated conversation literally raises their body temperature Huh. Well for what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure a lot of epics accidentally pick a name that somebody on the other side of the continent is also using... Would be funny if at some point we had two characters in Edmonton with the same epic nickname and they became rivals because of it. 1

Would be funny if at some point we had two characters in Edmonton with the same epic nickname and they became rivals because of it. Two interesting facts: One: I seriously debated whether I would use Magmaw or another Epic modelled after the Vicious mockery cantrip in D&D who literally can hurt people with his words. Two: I also created an Epic in WHIO whose power was to react to things a few seconds in the future, he named himself Altermind only to realize a few seconds later that he only called himself that because he heard another Epic introduce himself as that, thus earning himself the name of Latermind. He was very petty about it and continued to insist that he was the original Altermind. 6 hours ago, Kidpen said: Are high amounts of meta epics in general discouraged, or just ones that affect others powers?

What other kinds of meta Epics are there? Imo gifting is kind of a meta power, but I know the Reckonersverse doesn't really consider it as such. Also, Archetype's powerset can adapt over long periods of time, which is kind of a meta ability 25 minutes ago, Kidpen said: Knowledge about other epics. And this, yeah. Kind of an information power, but it is meta information. (incidentally, one of the characters I haven't quite introduced yet has a rather limited form of this) Edit: Speaking of the abundance of meta epics, I've decided to scrap my epic "Scavenger" to cut down the numbers of meta epics. I was going to have them eventually start claiming trophies from each fallen epic and destroying the bodies, so that they could cycle through a handful of different powers (one at a time) by wearing armor with epic skulls on it or something. But I've decided I have enough characters, and I don't want meta epics to become what teleporters used to be. Edited July 2, 2018 by Drake Marshall
Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I think now that we have a good foundation of characters, all we have to do is establish a little bit more of the map and start the RP. Welcome to July.
Kidpen he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Fair warning: I'll be gone until July 8th (at the latest) so I won't be around for the beginning probably.
Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Winter devotion will also be out for a while, IIRC.
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Just started reading Worm. Who controls the map?
Voidus Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 3 minutes ago, The Young Pyromancer said: Just started reading Worm. Who controls the map? Comatose I believe
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Then we might want to make a list of changes so he doesn't have to read through everything to find requests. 1
Ataraxian Wist she/her Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 So, apparently I'm not the only one who won't be here for awhile. I'll be gone most of next week, and probably won't have much time this week, but I'll see what can do.

Welcome to July. Yes, true. I believe Comatose said they were working on a first draft prologue. There is a map thing I might have for South Edmonton Common but I might need to talk to the GM before going ahead on it. 41 minutes ago, The Young Pyromancer said: Just started reading Worm. Who controls the map? Yesss join us. If nothing else comes of this RP then at least there are more Worm readers 14 minutes ago, Sazedezas said: So, apparently I'm not the only one who won't be here for awhile.

Well, at least we know that if we can get the RP properly off the ground with some people missing, it’ll be even better when everybody gets back
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I think we can do character introductions and things before everyone gets back. Maybe shoot for Friday as a start date?

DrakeMarshall he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 It's funny, come to think, of it I'm pretty sure I remember somebody said that about last friday We're not particularly in a rush though, so it doesn't really matter. 1
The Swan Dragon he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Imma toss in my two cents. Last time, this RP moved glacially slow. I'd like for this one to at least move like a surging glacier instead. I'm down for aiming to have at least major character intros posted by Friday, or have that as our goal. Incidentally, who will make the thread for What Happened In Edmonton?
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) It is probably good to be faster than a glacier, yep. I imagine the GM will make the post. Was that going to be Edgedancer or am I misremembering things? Edit: Actually, Comatose is working on the prologue, so maybe Comatose will make the thread. Edited July 2, 2018 by Drake Marshall
Kidpen he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Update: Just found out I actually will only be gone Friday-Sunday. So not as long as I thought.
Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Well, whenever Comatose is ready, I guess we can start. I'm quite excited about this, honestly. But who isn't? 1
Comatose he/him Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Sorry guys. It’s Canada Day long weekend here so I’ve been busy with family and stuff. I’ll try to get a summary together today and highlight any areas that still need filling in before we start.

I’ll try to get a summary together today and highlight any areas that still need filling in before we start. That obviously means it has to happen today. Perfect timing. If it doesn't happen by midnight tonight Canada time then you have failed, and are hereby thrown out of the RP. I have the authority to do this because you gave it to me, you just forgot.
