I don’t want to say “there’s a hole in my heart” or “a void where my heart should be” because that implies that I’m the protagonist of a b-list hallmark romance movie just a few minutes before the big reconciliation scene. Instead I think it’s more like my body and mind have stagnated, such that my heart has been left behind. It doesn’t fight anymore, because it does not think there is anything left fighting for

"If it'd be too much of a hassle, then don't bother. It's not like I'm at the top of Beorin's wanted list or anything."

Again: I really liked Honor Among Thieves. Baller movie. 9/10, would recommend. But what would make a 10/10 D&D movie? E d g a r W r i g h t and by that I mean his writing style, which is god-tier in every respect. He's the mastermind behind Scott Pilgrim (the movie), Shaun of the Dead, and those are the only ones of his I've seen but THEY'RE REALLY GOOD. Basically he's the best comedy director on the market, because his style is so damn good. For a D&D movie, you need to go the Scott Pilgrim route. Mix in whacky graphics for stuff like stats, action effects, etc. - instead of just going for "adventure in the D&D world," go for "a D&D game, abridged." It would open thusly: And then they would have their intros. I don't know what their intros would be, but the following would be clear: Rogue is clearly in charge, has the most experience, etc. They're really aggressively edgy and no one knows why. Fighter seems new to this whole thing, but quite eager to learn. Wizard has experience, playing it cool for the time being. They make a big fuss over their spellbook for some reason. Cleric is the token girl, dressed in gaudy blue robes and sporting a massive staff of healing. Everyone else is dirty and ragged - she's clean, pristine, and colorful. Might be Rogue's girlfriend. Gunslinger does not fit the vibe at all. He had to fight hard to convince everyone that he belonged here. The movie would happen. I don't know about much of it, but... Rolls, actions, spells, etc; would all appear in the same text box format, perhaps with different fonts and colors depending on the character. If you've ever seen Scott Pilgrim then you know what I'm getting at - if you haven't then you need to get on that. Long battle sequences would have dice rolls, modifiers, damage counts, status effects, class abilities, and whatnot all firing off alongside the action. At some point one of the characters would die unexpectedly (probably Cleric). A few scenes later a completely new character is introduced, played by the same actor (no one acknowledges this). There would be a long, drawn-out scene between Rogue and Wizard arguing as to whether they need to count out all their individual gold pieces or not. It evolves into the debate of whose backpack has the most efficient adventuring gear in it, which attracts Gunslinger to introduce them to a funny magical effect that can technically allow them to carry infinite weight without the use of a Bag of Holding. Have them bring up their own weights several times, which are multiplied via text box to their Strength Scores to determine their Carrying Capacity. Cleric would find a spell scroll, but use it before the party has a chance to Long Rest. Wizard experiences the five stages of grief. Fighter continuously searches for items like Flame Tongues and whatnot, despite the fact that Rogue keeps insisting that they're really quite rare and hard to come by. Fighter finds one at the end of the first dungeon. Unimportant side characters would all be named Bob, but spread thinly enough throughout the movie that it would take a rewatch to notice. The end would be a final battle against the BBEG (obviously) The lot of them getting beat about and played with, up until they have a big climactic scene of accepting each others' differences and learning the true meaning of friendship. They charge the Dark Wizard all at once as he charges a spell, and as he casts it... Big explosion. The whole place is evaporated in instants. As the dust settles over the course of almost half a minute, a single text box appears posthumously: 20 Cut to an office shot of the actors around a table, the director sitting at the end with a DM screen. They're all silent, contemplating the sudden turn of events. Director: "Well sh-"

"The only person Beorin here is remotely likely to recognize is me."

The only limit is how many you can start, which so far is just the one. But if other people initiate one with you then obviously you can have more.

It is the cutest game ever and I love it so much. look at this lovely child and tell me you don't adore them instantly

It is officially Friday in Mountain Daylight Time, which means y'all have TWO DAYS (minus about 37 minutes) to sign up. Remember to get your Secret Alliances made before Sunday too!

"No. To my knowledge they've never even been here before, let alone pull up a list of all the petty criminals on the list."

House Vitres And the Synopsis: Priority Rankings: Cohesion Military Resources Transportation Intelligence Fadran: Ready to Roll!

I have taken auxiliary command from Bookwyrm to prepare for upcoming chaos. DO NOT post in this thread yet. I've made it exclusively for keeping track of who's signed up and who hasn't. Once you're ready, post the following: Your House Your House Synopsis A full confirmation that you are ready to roll Please RSVP before this Saturday: Aug 19. If all goes well I'll get the thread up and running on the 20th so that we can start on Monday the 21st. We'll be playing in three-day Rounds that correspond to one month in-RP; Turnover will take place at Midnight, Mountain Standard Time (I'll probably have posts for this because it's exceptionally rare that I am asleep before this hour), with two rounds per week. Monday-Wednesday, Thursday-Saturday, and then a break (and potentially recap depending on how well we're keeping up) on Sunday. I'm aware that a lot of you won't be available for these times as well as others, but the data shows that these times will probably work best for the majority of people. If these times absolutely DO NOT work for you in any respect, lmk and I'll look into it. Before you post your Synopsis, please add a rough ranking of your House's priorities in terms of the following: Resources Military Transportation Intelligence Cohesion Resources are your stuff: gear, money, etc. Military is straightforward (manpower, military experience, battleships, etc.), Transportation refers to your general capability to fund ventures across the stars, Intelligence is your ability to collect and analyze information, and Cohesion is a rough measure of how united the House itself is. For example, House Vitres would probably be: Cohesion Military Resources Transportation Intelligence These are in no way "ability scores" or anything of the sort, but simply an quick way for people to check out other Houses and see who'd they be most likely to ally with. They'll also be an easy way for you to keep track of your own House's details - as well as the details of your enemies. Secret Alliances! Once you have confirmed your House for the RP, you have the opportunity to choose 1 other (confirmed) House to ally with. To do so, send a PM to the RPer in question and inform them of your decision. Remember that not everyone is going to sign up at once, and that it might behoove you to wait for more people to confirm before selecting an ally; and also that if you join too late, there're probably a lot of allies you've missed out on. For the time being please only PM the one person; you should certainly be allowed to make more in the future, but for now you are limited to whoever you choose (and whoever chose you). You can have as many Public Alliances as you like, but to do so you have to... well, do it publically. Everyone will be aware. Last of all: here's one more Form for determining the basic mechanics of stuff like Spying and whatnot. Again, I want to avoid things like "scores" and "action points," but we're going to need a basic set of rules for how to work these things. https://forms.gle/M5jmCHB7Wb6oEXf18 Ready List: House Vitres (Fadran) 1 - Cohesion 2 - Military 3 - Resources 4 - Transportation 5 - Intelligence House Griffin (Scars of Hathsin) 1 - Cohesion 2 - Resources 3 - Intelligence 4 - Transportation 5 - Military House Yaelar (Ancient Elantrian) 1 - Intelligence 2 - Resources 3 - Transportation 4 - Military 5 - Cohesion House Skyvivid (Aeoliae) 1 - Resources 2 - Cohesion 3 - Transportation 4 - Intelligence 5 - Military House Fīisoss (ΨιτιsτηεΒέsτ) 1 - Military 2 - Cohesion 3 - Intelligence 4 - Transportation 5 - Resources House Durall (Matrim) 1 - Resources 2 - Intelligence 3 - Transportation 4 - Cohesion 5 - Military House ???

Does this sound like a decent size for the RP?

the this

Mind putting it in the Synopsis Template I made first?

also I've started porting the House Synopses to Le Doc for easy access.

Proposal on the Megawarship thing: In order to maintain the divide between "they're really dang expensive" and "they're relics of the ancient past," I say that while it's still technically possible to build yourself more gigantic megawarships, every House's fleet mostly consists of the survivors from generations past. They're historical monuments to your House's history. Similarly, you can still build some, but they take a heck of a long time to complete, making it so that you'll be working on just the one for probably several decades.
