Thanks Rainbow! I completely forgot.

I got a gift... :DI

Glad Someone asked some questions. I wasn't sure what to say.We play on Thursdays, starting around 9 PM (though we were still discussing a good time to start, and thinking about 7:30 to 8, because it tended to end at 3 AM). For the ages of the players, two are 18, I'm 18, and the third is 24 (the third came back, the fourth won't be coming back and is 18).

The game is divided into episodes, so far we have had 4.

Episode 1: The introductory episode. It started with three PCs uncontracted (fourth wasn't around yet), they each were traveling to various destinations when they were caught in the Nightmare of a creature called a youma. In this case, a giant piked tree monster based off of the sandbox tree. They were saved by a small blue cat-like creature, that called itself a tsukaima. The creature told them that by making a contract with it they can become magical girls and fight such monsters. They all agreed. The remainder of the episode was the fight with the youma. After said fight, all the characters realize that they could have died and that this is serious business.

One on One event: (I also do one on one events if requested, for role playing purposes) One PC had a confrontation between her and her parents about the existence of magic. Application of magic was required to prevent the parents from freaking out too much and endangering themselves.

Episode 2: The episode started with the introduction of the fourth PC (already contracted by a different tsukaima). All four PCs were attending a school. One PC's magic went out of control and ended up blasting out all the windows in a classroom. The teacher believed it was a bomb and the school was evacuated. Eventually the PCs were released and they went looking for another youma. They found one...after it had killed a squad of military personnel. After a minor freak-out, they did battle. Heavy use of magic was required to defeat the Painted Wall themed monster. It was here that the PCs discovered the overcharge mechanic and their powers went out of control and caused minor physical and mental changes. (the ending of this episode was delayed due to time constraints, the plot continued though)

Episode 3: This episode did not have a youma, and strictly dealt with the human side of things. Mainly dealing with the social effect of trying to hide a pair of wings and acid green eyes from the public. One PC had a bad interaction with bullies, and a good interaction with one of her social links. The tsukaima ended up being crushed to death when a PC fell on it. A new one came to replace it. One PC was on a class trip for the entire day.

(There were many oneshots in between here due to finals, one player said they had to leave permanently and requested his character die by exploding into rainbows, the request was done by having a light-themed youma chestburst out of her)

Episode 4: originally intended to be a plot-starter episode, but ended up being the PCs hunting the youma that killed their comrade. The new tsukaima left to go recruit a new magical girl. One PC encountered the remnants of a spell of another magical girl, the spell being a form of mind control on an ordinary girl. The PC tried to fix things but failed and turned the girl into a yandere(think axemurder crazy stalker) for the PC. The episode ended with the PCs killing the youma.

My plan for episode 5 is for the PCs to react to episode 4 (they were kinda busy not dying). If I do get another player by next thursday (or whenever we set up the next session) they would be introduced here.

Hello RP forum!

I have been running a game of Magical Burst for several weeks, but recently lost two players (out of four) because one could not play at that time anymore, and the other had some issues to take care of IRL. Magical Burst is a game based off of the magical girl genre of anime, so it is kinda niche, but I find it fun. I run the game on Skype, timezone GMT -6.

If anyone is interested, please email me at [email protected], I can answer further questions.

Happy Birthday Brandon!

Catching up on reading. I may join in, if Chunky is approved and I have time. Glad to see there is still life here.

Approval given, sats is controlling the story right now so talk to him about integrating into the story. I'll poke my head in later when I catch up with other obligations.

Happy birthday Rioter!

Wait. There is a 17thshard blog?

Em stalks...

I have no idea how you even managed to get so much BBCode in that sig, dude

EDIT: Try recoding... that whole thing.

Um, ok. It just built up over time... I can't see any of the BBCode though.

EDIT: I just added all the stuff to a paste. Its all good now.

For some reason, the text in my signature keeps becoming center aligned. I keep trying to edit it back to left aligned but it doesn't save the changes. I can add or remove text just fine.

EDIT: everything, except the first two quotes in the spoiler, should be left aligned.

Right now, there are two real possibilities (that I can see) for how frame-of-reference works for Conjoined rubies:

1) "Down" is defined as pertains to the planet, with movements translated between the two frames of reference based on that different understanding of "down." So pen A on the pole and pen B on the equator will both move towards and away from their own "ground" when one is lowered or lifted.

2) "Down" is defined as pertains to the initial orientation of the ruby. When the ruby is split in half to create a Conjoiner, each half behaves as if it is still attached to the other. So pen A has the "cut" side facing up and pen B has the "cut" side facing down, if you're doing it right. For an amethyst (reverser), it would then be that both face the same way.

You'd also have to make sure that the rest of the orientation of the gem is suitably mirrored (so that left for A doesn't become "a bit righting" for pen B"), so that the horizontal axis could be properly defined.

Number 2 (which is different from what I espoused a few posts ago) one works much more "mechanically," and I would be very inclined towards it if we hadn't recently had the strength of the Cognitive Realm beat over our heads. Despite that, I still like it more than 1, especially since just "down" doesn't address any other axes.

If Option 2 takes the day, then there's a lot less problems of mobility. Theoretically, you could have one of your spanreeds writing upside down, and besides some odd forces on the other end (from gravity going the wrong way for the other spanreed you're moving), it would work perfectly.

I believe it to be number 2 as well, based off of having seen only number 2 in stories. Although this is Brandon we are talking about...

So yes, if the second option is how Conjoiners work, then you're system would work, Emeralis00. I had originally proposed a gyroscope to keep the receiving key level, but I suppose a spring on a stick would work just as well

Simple is better. I can build a spring on a stick, but not a gyroscope.

I like this thread.

also you might be able to get around the orientation problem by attaching the rubies to sticks with a spring on them, and have an attached plate for it to contact. Unless I misunderstand how the rubies move to each other, the setup could be face in any direction.

I would like to anounce that perching on two stacked chairs is more stable than one, and I no longer sit normally. Perching is the new sitting as far as I am concerned...

Perching you say?

EDIT: image broke, fixed it.

Oh my. Completely forgot about this. No guarantees on this actually going somewhere, but Sats and I talked a while ago about restarting our little story. So after finals I'll see if I can put something up if I am not busy. About your character though, this takes place in the time period of Alloy of Law.

I would like to announce that it is December 6th, and it is still warm and snow-free to the point of me wearing shorts.

Same here. I blame hell week.

From what I can gather, his story is the one included in the Mistborn RPG.

My name is apparently synonymous with despair now.

Sweetness> Have faith

<RubixKube> That's because Brandon's computer crashed. He will be back.

<Sweetness> See? FAith.

<lyssie> There is no faith

<lyssie> No hope

<lyssie> Only DESPAIR

<Sweetness> NO EMO

<Sweetness> Only one person is allowed to be emo at a time.

* lyssie is now known as em_lys

<Sweetness> And it's my turn, dammit.

* Notify: lyssie is offline (FreeNode).

* RubixKube has kicked em_lys from #cosmere (YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBS ME)

* em_lys ([email protected]) has joined #cosmere

em_lys> No offense, emeralis

* em_lys is now known as lyssie

<emeralis00> hmm?

* Notify: lyssie is online (FreeNode).

<lyssie> Nah, I'm actually in quite a good mood ^.^

* emeralis00 wasn't paying attention to chat

<Sweetness> Em doesn't love us

<lyssie> Oh, I was being all despair-y, so I changed my nick to reference yours

So, any further response to my name theory?

Considering I know more than thirty people with the name of Brandon (Not including Sanderson), I highly doubt it. They do not have similar personalities.

My real name's meaning is "Whelp, or young dog" but it itself is based off of another word that means "dove". It is also used as a variant of another name meaning "victory of the people".

Doesn't Tensoon or whomever had it last still have his bones?

I don't think bones themselves would be enough to keep someone tied to the physical realm, or pretty much everyone would be tied.

'emeralis' was actually a gift of my best friend. He made the name for me in 5th grade and I have used it ever since. The 00 is because some sites require a username with numbers in it, so I chose double zeros because 0 is the true start of the base 10 number system (don't let anyone tell you otherwise, they probably have never seen an array before ) and I was watching gundam 00 at the time.

oh. Paperback. Thats an important detail there.

I'm not sure what you mean? I bought my copy in Barnes and Noble. New.

Reader. Stop. You keep posting under the assumption that I want you to merge into The Chronicles of The Oblivion Society. You never asked me, and I don't.
