  1. Hello all

    I have decided to try rejoining the Insanity Clinic. Yay! however I have lost all of Exol's spare stuff (the stuff not written down in his backstory) I don't know what to do. I don't want to rewrite half his lore from scratch and kinda want to make a new character but,I don't know how well that would be received. so tell me, how well would that be received.

  2. Ok so I figured I might as well try one more time. Instead of Pathfinder however I think maybe just a DnD 5e/3.5e campaign would probably catch more people's interests. So, same as before Someone DMs and me and other people as players (or I can DM if I have to, I'm just bad at it)

      Ok so I know double post and all but, if I were to DM I would be running the House of Lament mini adventure and then either let someone else take over or make a larger Ravenloft campaign.

      Noo! My perfect 100! You monsters!

      Spoiler

      JK not actually upset. Just gotta do the bit.

       

  4. Ok to gauge interest in the pathfinder game I want to start (but not GM) I'm going to make a post in the Roleplaying section and link it here.

     

  5. Would anyone be willing to start a pathfinder 2e game with me? I suck at GMing so someone else would probably have to. I could if I had to but, my storytelling abilities, especially with chaotic players, is very poor. Plus I prefer being a player.

      If it’s anything like D&D, then I’d love to!

      thing is… I probably have less experience than you.

      I've studied the rules but I've never played before. If you're interested in learning then I would recommend looking up Pathfinder in 7 minutes or less. Really helped. I could also explain if more people are interested. out of curiosity though would you join as the GM or a player?

  6. I did NJAS yesterday instead of going to school. I'm sure most of you have read @The Bookwyrm's post by now but It's a regional science fair that my school forces us to do for our junior and senior projects. I ended up getting a blue ribbon which surprised me (I hated my project). I must also congratulate Bookwyrm for his win and wish him luck in State.

  7. As you can see this is one of my more active phases.

    Anyway, I haven't been talking about it on the shard but I recently went and got an ADHD test because of a concerning amount of inattentiveness.

    I was officially diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type, social anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder (mild) yesterday.

    I don't know how to feel really but, at least there is an explanation for the way I act in my everyday life now.

      Nothing wrong with being adhd. You're just you, that hasn't changed, you just know who you are better than you did before.

  9. Hey all. I'm back.

    Soooo... I've decided to make a TTRPG based on real life. I'm going to call it Backyards and Bullies and It's going to be like Dungeons and Dragons. All the players are students and they would have different "Specialties" (Can't use classes because that might be a different thing later). There is magic but it would be more mundane (like a fire spell being a lighter). I'm having some trouble getting started so if you want you can leave suggestions.

    Current Specialties are:

    I'll try to answer any questions I can if I know the answer.

  10. Well, I've been very inactive. Sorry about that. I find it difficult to focus on more than one interest at a time so I'll probably randomly pop back up every so often. Now back to disappearing!

  11. I just put my first post in the Insanity Clinic and I feel good and bad.

    I feel good because I want to do this but, I feel bad for just showing up. I know that's how everyone joins but I can't get over the anxiety of it all.

      Just wait :) it will be better

      Yeah I just need to get past the first awkwardness wall and then I can start having some fun.

  12. Spoiler

    Ok does anyone know what a Soulburst (Nicrosil/Nicrosil) Twinborn would do? Like what does compounding Investiture do? Does Identity affect it? Does Intent? And can you boost yourself with your Nicrosil? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!

    I don't know if this counts as spoilers so I thought I would be safe and put it in a bax

      Maybe take this to the theories or another question thread of the sort, that way some of the more nerdy in this community can see this and help you out.

    2. Exotic Almond

      Oh I didn't even think of that. Thanks!

      Yeah no problem! The Shard's theorizers will likely give you some elaborate answer to this :P.

  13. Uurgh. I want to join The Insanity Clinic but I don't know how to join. I don't want to just pop in because I don't want to disturb anyone.

    1. InfiniteInsanity

      InfiniteInsanity

      That's how everyone joins.

      You can come join the peoples I'm with.

      I already disturbed them.

      And I have a plan to disturb them more.

      Join the Insanity.

      Maybe I will. Still gotta think of a character though. Right now it's just a bunch of random ideas in my head

  14. I conducted in front of the band for the first time today. My goal of drum major grows ever closer.

  15. oof I have been checking the shard for 2 weeks now and haven't seen any notifications and when I reload the site I have apparently missed out on so much. That's annoying.

  16. Ok so last year I joined at the tail end of Ookla season and I can't for the life of me remember when it starts. I want to be able to participate this year though so can anyone tell me when it begins?

      If I'm remembering correctly it's the time between Brandon's and his editor's birthdays.

  18. Hey all. For school I made some good news stories as pictures and am supposed to share one so…

  19. I have a friend. (shocking I know)

    We want to play MAG someday and she keeps saying she wants to spike her horse.

    Would this actually work because I feel like it shouldn't, at least with what I know about hemalurgy.

    Please help, maybe if an entire community convinces her she'll stop pestering me.

      I'd ask on the forums if Hemalurgy works on animals...

      I feel like it would work. But I don’t know.

  20. I finished Tress of the Emerald Sea a while ago and forgot to post about it so...

    I really liked it. It's probably my favorite Brandon one shot.

  21. 11:37 and just finished Rhythm of War. Whoo

    I'm too tired to stay awake now so good-night.

  22. I haven't posted in forever.

    Summer school has kept me busy and when I get home I'm too tired to do anything.

    I got Xenoblade Chronicles 2 like Bookwyrm told me too and I beat it and new game plus within 2 weeks.

    I also finished The Lost Metal and am about halfway through Rhythm of War so that's fun.

  23. I recently finished Mistborn Bands of mourning!! yay!
