You are OTTO GRIGGS, and after installing a random game in your Steam Library, Fantasy Quest 7: Rebirth, you were summoned to another world. Only, instead of a fantastical adventure full of whimsy and joy, you’ve spent the last few days trudging underground through abandoned tunnels and malicious factories. You’re starting to think this was all one big scam.Or you would if you didn’t suddenly gain the power to toy with REALITY itself. An ability that’s saved both your ass and the asses of the new comrades. Particularly one SAKI NISHIMURA, another Earthling who was summoned alongside you (though without the magic powers). But let’s not forget KNIGHT COMMANDER SEVENTEEN, the over seven-foot android who summoned you and foisted the quest of reconquering FACTORY XI-187 upon you– seeing as it’s been mass-producing demonic soldiers and weapons for quite some time now. Along the way, the three of you encountered one LADY LUVETTEL, who, after a little trolling on your part, joined your party after becoming quite OBSESSED with you. It’s a whole thing…Anyway! You figured out pretty quickly that your REALITY MAGIC might not have come from your own abilities, or lack thereof, seeing as the VOID ENTITY, who lives inside your chest, has been complaining nonstop about your “theft” every time you go to sleep. But anything of the sort totally wasn’t willful on your part– None of this was! Especially not joining the army of the BLACKIRON PACT. Seventeen kind of forced that one, but if you had your way, you’d still be back home on Earth. But things never seem to go your way. Like, no way you’d currently be standing in XI-187 if they did. Regardless, while a crusader army rampages about– vanguarded by REN MINATO, the isekai hero who slew the DEMON LORD before your summoning– you’re interrogating a necromancer named BROTHER CALLUM as he whines and whimpers about “Human Rights” or other such nonsense. …Did you mention you’re trying to recruit him?
>>6463612Whatever the dwarf was going to say is rendered irrelevant as you squeeze your hand into a fist, popping his stout head off his neck and into the air. But that’s not all; you still have to put on a show for the spectators. So as the head falls to the ground, you grab it by the beard– spin it around a few times like a ball on a chain- and throw it right into an awaiting maw in the rafters. There’s thunderous applause and rambunctious cheer at the display, even if you can see most of your girls roll their eyes or palm their faces at the display. What’s that matter, though? They’ll still let you into their beds tonight.“Good show, jolly good show, Great Hero!” Tes’tral commends, before using the hype you generated to start a cheer of his own. “Death to the Blackiron Pact!” He calls, the words echoed by both soldiers of the Empire and Dominion. “Death to the Blackiron Pact!”“DEATH TO THE BLACKIRON PACT!””DEATH TO THE BLACKIRON PACT!”The soldiers scream and shout, and you find the smile on your face hard to wipe away. Years ago, when you were naive and first met Seventeen, you were awed by the Pact's ideals, before learning their inherent hypocrisy. This world cannot be judged by the morals of your previous one; this is one where a being's nature can far outweigh any semblance of nurture. Just look at the Demons, or Hells, even the dwarves! They’re no bastion of peace and tranquility between races; they’re more racist than even the elves! They just got so many bullshit laws and restrictions to prevent themselves from acting on their malice– And Seventeen was more than willing to bend or break those rules when it suited her, and list them as justification for her atrocities. Pfft, ‘we have to hear the Demon General out! This isn’t the right way~!’ Pure garbage.“How’s everything looking outside?” You ask Elspeth, getting your party’s minds back on track, except for Vesper, of course.

>>6463656“For the last time: No. We’re not going to just kill him; we can’t.”“Buuut why nooooot~!” Luvettel whines for the fifth time.“We can’t just do whatever we want, Luvie. That’s not how the world works.”“But whyyyyy! You haven’t told me why!” She pouts. “I want to kill him, and we have the power too, so why shouldn’t we?! It’ll even help us in combat!”This is getting kinda harder than you expected. Shouldn’t it be obvious that you can’t just do whatever you want? There are like morals and shit you gotta follow; everyone does. But how exactly are you supposed to explain that to a literal demon? One who was tortured so badly that her very soul got tainted by it? Can you, a guy who's only ever won online arguments by being a total goalpost-moving, strawmanning, dickweed, even convince her of the sanctity of life? Or maybe of something else? Should you even try? You might get better results by just distracting her until a warform comes knocking and you’re back to fighting.>Try and convince Luvettel it’s immoral to kill people, even with a “valid” reason.>Try to convince Luvettel of the sanctity of life.Comment too long.

Would I be able to call you cute, adorable, amazing, spectacular, and so on if I was a walking corpse? Hmmmmm?This guy still has uses if he's alive, Luvie. Maybe not now, but eventually.

You live in a town called Big Satan!To the north there are Yetis and a tribe of orcs that use polar bears as shock cavalry.To the south, there is a vast desert where seminomad serpent people grow strange flowers called Snuff with stimulant properties that can be chewed, smoked or even snorted in powder form; beyond this desert there is a savanna with evil lamias that like to enslave everyone to mine gold and jewels, and further south there is a jungle where elves and gnolls battle for supremacy.To the east there are vast plains where the horse clans fight each other. Beyond them, a country of tiny goblins with large penises, they breed very fast and the female goblins choose mates by dick size, the larger the better.To the west there is an amazonian society where very tall women enslave meek men in mines and farming jobs while they train with deadly melee weapons, their children if female are always tall amazonians, and if male are short and weak willed members of their race.Big Satan is a metropolis with over 25,000 people living there.

It has been 2000 years since the Black Knight tore open the last of the great portals and trampled the worlds of the Weld with his unstoppable warband. As his band crushed the native kingdoms and nations, burned the banners of ancient orders and sects, and laid to waste the effigies of the gods, the Black Knight did not remain to rule over these broken lands. He rode ever onward, allowing the shattered peoples to rebuild under the shadow of the dark rider. New standards flew over reconstructed walls, men of arms kneeled at the feet of new monarchs, cities rose to glisten in the moonlight, and all throughout the Weld those who had rode alongside the Black Knight departed to carve out a niche that they saw fit. But none would find dominance, for without warning or reason the Black Knight and his cohort would ride again to despoil the realms.It is under these times that our tale brings us to a busy inn along the road Ghenthun, linking the odd trails of Onsev to its two largest portals. Sleeping gravcars and beasts of burden huddle within the confines of the stables as the warm lights of the inn shine against the haze of the cool and cloudy day.

The steady groaning of the steel submarines structure can be heard throughout the vessel. It doesn't take an experienced mariner to know you're deep enough to cause even the sturdiest of materials great pressure from the current environment. The amount of time you've all been trapped here, how longs it been again? You turn around to check the calendar in your sleeping quarters. APRIL 3, 2100Shit, that's right. You slap yourself on the forehead, the skin from your palm collides and makes an audible smacking noise. It's been not one, not two, but THREE! Fucking months on this vessel. You knew when you signed up for this contract that you'd spend a great deal of time here, but not this long! You sigh aloud in the shared room. You're currently the only one in it, it's not break time and most people are still toiling away making sure the sub stays in one piece. You needed this break though, the day has been particularly tough on both your body and mind.If there's been anything positive about your time spent so far though, it's that the occasional noise or hiss from the sub no longer immediately puts you on your toes. That's not to say you were particularly wanting to be acclimated to moving around in the open, vulnerable in this metal coffin. If you would've had your way, you'd of found a cushy administrative job back at a nearby outpost, not nearly as deep below as you currently are. Whatever, just keep pushing along. The sooner you get back to work, the better your chances of nobody finding out you took a temporary leave from your duties. Right.. your duties, what was it you were hired for again?>Security>Navigations>Engineering & MaintenanceComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6461024You're an engineer. That's what all your certifications tell your employers anyway, this is your first time actually being aboard a vessel. When you had first laid eyes on it back at Kiloz, an outpost located deep within the Marianas border, you were in awe of it. Though many cargo subs can be vast in size, this is the first of it's kind. You don't know much on the backstory, but the construction of this submarine was largely invested in by a wealthy magnate from a powerful governing council far from where the western world is concerned. It's size is something to behold, a regular outpost can typically be home to just under a hundred people, this ship is basically that, though able to move and be commandeered by a navigation crew. The title of this vessel is painted across the walls of the narrow hallways you walk across, 'Spirit Of The Wakazi'. Typically your shifts aren't anything to write home about, at least not so far. The occasional patching of a compromised part, at worst in these few months you've had to repair the outer hull from whatever it was banging into a few hundred clicks in the direction you were coming from. You tried asking around about what could possibly put a dent into something this huge and armored, you've only received vague responses from the typical personnel who handle these matters. "Thomson," a gruff voice calls out from behind. Shit, it's your fucking manager. You turn around, behind you is a fairly rotund man though he has quite a bit of muscle mass as well. There's no denying this man has his fair share in alcohol, you've seen him pound it back yourself, sometimes you wonder how people like this manage to get position of power. Anyhow, it's fucking Craig, Head Engineer placed in charge for this expedition. This guy's always on your ass and frankly you're getting sick of it. Supposedly you're only a day out from your next stop at Cozy Outpost, a renowned party oasis, despite it's hostile environment from the outside.

It is the 40th millennium.The Imperium of Man is the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. One million stars lay under its rule. Uncountable multitudes of humanity toil for its sake. They are beset by countless horrors from within and without, seeking to rend and ruin all that they hold dear, and the deadliest of them all is the Imperium itself. Everpresent. Everviligant. Everzealous. The Adeptus Terra make for cruel taskmasters, and no less ruthless are the enforcers who enact their decrees to the letter.To live in such times is to be crushed under the boot of a galaxy-spanning dominion. To dream of dissent is death. There are no exceptions. There is no mercy. There can be no hope. None of this matters. You have set yourself against the unstoppable momentum of a quintillions-strong warmachine, and you will live or you will die on your own terms. There are many rebellions across these blighted stars. This one is yours.
>>6463648>a character should act in character>no we can't do that, that would be railroading>instead we should railroad the character into acting out of character for our benefitUtterly bewildering statement.>>6463653Compare that option to any other of the number 6 choice in the other categories: Completely planetside rebellion without even orbital defenses, only pre-industrial society present on all the planets of the rebellion, the rebellion occuring down the street, in galactic terms, from Terra, a single planet rebelling, a rebellion whose population is firmly Imperial Loyalist outside of key figures. It reads to me that, whichever category recieved that dreaded number 6, was always going to act as the crippling effect of the rebellion that we would have to deal with. If our leader isn't somewhat stupid in almost all circumstances then there is no consequence to the choice that was made. Would you argue we would be able to besiege and conquer other planets without a navy or transports for our soldiers, or that we could produce Baneblade tanks with only the knowledge of a feudal society?>>6463643From personal experience on this board you can not contain the need that almost every player here has of converging on the pragmatic, best choice at the moment every time with just fluff and certain presented choices. There needs to be ongoing consequences happening that remind the players that their character isn't actually cut out for the job of ruling, and that she will make mistakes despite her and the players best effort due to her being stupid. If being stupid is relegated to a choice, the overwhelming majority won't chose it because it's not optimal to be stupid, even if your character is, and I don't think the Ego mechanic will be enough of a balancing factor to constant optimization.I remember a civilization management game like this one, not very long ago, where the lore was that we were the Dark Lord reborn and we had come to destroy the world and it's people. Do you think there was ever a vote to commit a really evil action in that short lived quest? No, not at all. The Dark Lord was always pragmatic, always ready to negotiate, always willing to make concessions. I don't remember if I was the only dissenting voice in that one, but there weren't many. This will undoubtedly go the same way here, with Lady Valyria Von Dracora the Incompetent Egoist becoming Lady Valyria "I was only pretending to be retarded, I am actually a 7000IQ megabrain who is humble" Von Dracora if you let it.If that's how you want to run the quest, then so be it. I only have as much control over any choice as my ability to convince others allows, and in the end I'm just a grumpy old man that gets more and more tired of seeing every quest with a management aspect turn in to the same grey sludge where we take the same actions and play the same character, the pragmatic intelligent neutral good negotiator, regardless of what actual background is chosen.
>people forgetting the fact you can just as easily say the reason the MC is making a "good" decision is because she was talked into it by advisors without realizing it wasn't her idea at all>and that we've got a mechanical "You will do a stupid and make a bad decision" meter to force the MC to be a retard anyway
>>6463687>Compare that option to any other of the number 6 choice in the other categoriesWhile I understand this point of view, I can propose an alternative way to look at it.When we are looking at other starting choices, jump between 5 and 6 never as big as a jump between "somewhat okay" and "utterly horrendous". Generally its because 5 also "extremely bad". However, in the choice of a leader second worst option to me personally does not appear nearly as bad as second worst option in the most of other choices. Thus, it is entirely possible that worst option there also "not as bad" as other worst options.However, I do get this gripe>Do you think there was ever a vote to commit a really evil action in that short lived quest? No, not at all. The Dark Lord was always pragmatic, always ready to negotiate, always willing to make concessions. I don't remember if I was the only dissenting voice in that one, but there weren't many. This will undoubtedly go the same way here, with Lady Valyria Von Dracora the Incompetent Egoist becoming Lady Valyria "I was only pretending to be retarded, I am actually a 7000IQ megabrain who is humble" Von Dracora if you let it.And at the very least try to propose some retarded ideas in the future, to prevent exactly that outcome.
I personally think House Dracora will just have things work whatever choices Valyria ends up making. Otherwise the rebellion wouldn't work even a day, or a second. House Dracora will always try to make things work no matter what Valyria says or does.She also delegates a metric ton or finds vital stuff boring (which is very bad for a leader, and basically makes said leader basically blind on a lot of internal affairs of its rebellion). So she isnt going to give precise orders or give much thought to some stuff. A naval battle will be always Lucon. A land one always a general in charge there. And so on.Hell the scribes here are the ones presenting this choices of taxation and administration to her. Whatever she picks things have been thought by House Dracora on how to handle it. Of course there is the catch: they cant predict everything she may do and she has an ego. They can only placate her ego and hope to provide her options and results she likes, so that they can later correct them.
>>6463687Alright, let me try to word this better.I realize, anon, what you are saying - I agree that Valyria being competent and choosing smart, sensible options goes against "the cost" of choosing an incompetent ruler. The issue, however, isn't with the players, but the very idea of playing as "an incompetent"Questing is, ultimately, a game. It's a story, sure, but it's also a game. And this quest is, ultimately, a strategy game, and when people are playing games, they want to have fun. Now if we were playing a zany comedical quest - such as say, an "Ork Warboss" quest, then being incompetent wouldn't *be* an issue, because that would be part of the fun. When the Ork Warboss does something stupid and zany, that's fun. But there's nothing fun about being incompetent and stupid to the degree of only choosing stupid options. "And then you slowly marched your troops into battle and they were all vaporized in five seconds" is not fun. "And then your government fell apart because you decided taxes were lame" is not fun. Because this is a strategy quest, and the fun in a strategy quest comes from formulating a plan and then trying to do it.In the end, you can argue that we shouldn't have been allowed to use "play as an idiot" as a drawback, but I can certainly tell you i'd rather Valyria to be somewhat competent than I would for the whole quest to take a nosedive into a wall because "It's in character"

With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power. Wielder of the Berserker Soul, and the powerful Stand Divine Dragon Force, you're fully equipped to handle any threat that comes your way.

Also, update for Patrons. July's comm is now live, full story and art are both up. Pic VERY related, as the July comm is Chaya vs the Divine Summoner challenger. And the September poll is now up as well, a week late. Which is why it is live until 10:30 pm EST this Sunday.>>6461929Now that would be a threat. As of now, the closest to a waffle house would be either the place your father Tatsu used to eat in Vegeta City, or the place Silvers' former students now run. And if either are closed, there are already at least dozens dead, if not hundreds.

She is a powerful empath and a telepath. I think she can feel this being on the planet’s surface.Since she can read minds, I’m curious what is it like to hear End’s thoughts? Does it even have thoughts that in any way reassemble thoughts of other sentient creatures (mortals) created by Kais? Or is it like listening to thousands of voices screaming in chaos? Or maybe even that does not describe it because Devourer’s mind is so alien?She is also an empath, so does this mean that she can feel what it feels too? Can she feel this being’s hatred, anger, pain or insane hunger? Does it have detrimental effect on her emotions? Can extended contact with Hadar’s mind and emotions start to drive her insane?
>>6462125Yes. It is large enough to have consumed several entire realities.It's going to be... Something.>RavenHOOOO BOOOOY! That's a whole can of worms right there. Freeza was mind broken by getting a glimpse of The End. Imagine what FEELING a fragment of it's incomprehensible nature inside her mind will do to Raven? How many eyes do you think she has inside?

Just waiting on Crasski and Ivremski, no rush though.
His companion's rather reserved demeanor didn't phase Valt much as he observed his companion silently assemble the machinery's radiation catcher from his seat."Not a fan of cпиpт then?" he asked. "Я пoнимaю. Every man has his own preferred vice, дa? Not that I'd judge you for your chosen one if you would be inclined to share, тoвapищ."He spared a quick thought to the almost berserker-like rage Crasski had embodied after taking fire for the first time. Maybe his chosen depravity was overusage of stims, a not so uncommon one here on this frozen hellscape. With the way the Europa treated it's denizens, that was hardly surprising.Valt leaned forward slightly and withdrew a rather worn medical injector from his rear pocket. One of the older models, more used for field stabilizations rather than miracle work that the machine assisted ones were capabale off. He had never been quite at ease with the way the cold metal worked it's way over flesh like that, and had opted to retain his outdated one despite stark protests from the medical corps.He loaded up two charges in the canister before he placed the syringe against his side where one of the bullet had ruptured his suit. The tool sank into the fabric, it's sides creating an airtight seal around the injection point before the needle plunged through the suit. A concoction of nanobots, medical glue and anesthetics made it's way into his sytem, the wound closing rapidly as the machines weaved the tissue together with the glue to plug the wound shut. He applied the second charge to his wounded shoulder, and let out a content sigh as the pain faded from his system."Ahh. You know—" he said to Crasski again with a slight grunt as the medical glue stitched his shoulder back together. "—my mother used to make a mean Квac. Real one, too, not that synthetic crap that comes out of the dispensers. Said the recipie was from the old country, back on Earth. If booze isn't your taste, maybe you'd like this instead? I'll be sure to get you a bottle if we live through this day, дa?".He rose from his seat, falsely invigorated by the medical concoction flowing through his veins, and hoisted the corpse of the enemy solider over his undamaged shoulder. The poor sod was already frozen to the bone, and Valt struggled slightly before he got it out of the foxhole."Пoднимaйcя! This place is only for the living, дpyг. You have no need for it no more." he uttered cheerfully as he chucked the body out on to the frozen wastes. He grabbed his rifle and stood too on the fire step, scanning the horizon before deciding wether to go over the top or not.>>6461272>exchange 5 Oxygen for 5 AP>use a Medkit to heal wounds (4AP, Wounds 2 --> 0)Comment too long.

You awake to the comforting warmth of a curvaceous red haired woman in your arms, the softness of the blanket you share, and the feeling of your bed creaking briefly as your thief gets up. By the time you glance over your shoulder the window is already open, and she's gone. The town is bustling with early morning business outside. The inn is waking up, and it's time for you to go about your day.You and your party are experienced adventurers, using this town to stage excursions into dungeons and mountains. You're building a good reputation. You've been in other parties before, but this is the longest period you've been with a party yet.You sit up in bed, the blanket falling off your muscled body as you look around your room in the inn, you see your weapons on their rack, and your plate armor on its stand. The fire is ashes, and there's a breeze coming through the open window. Furea mutters in her sleep, shivering and curling up slightly. The tall, leggy redhead was a gladiator before you bought her freedom, she declared herself yours and she's been loyal in bed and battle ever since. Her eyes are blue, her legs long, her midriff toned, her breasts indecently full and her long hair lies free and messy after last night. She has a body on par with the beautiful thief who warmed the other side of your bed last night, Arianne is pale, dark haired, her eyes a similar blue to her redhead co-concubine, her body equally lush. She attempted to assassinate you, only to met with a fateful of your body as you left a bath. After you bedded her she told you of the thief gang she worked for, you brought them to justice, she was granted a pardon, and she swore her service to you in gratitude. She's an excellent scout, thief and support, though she tries to avoid melee combat, snarking constantly about it whenever she has to.You smile. She's worth it.Your room is large, with room for a double bed, fireplace, your weapons and armor, a table, chairs, dressers for the girls clothes. You tie your belt, just as the door opens and one of your servants enters. As a wealthy adventurer, you have a small group of retainers, including a quartet of maids whose duties include cleaning your armor and weapons.Despite their horns you aren't positive they're tieflings, they don't seem to have the booming voice and smell of sulphur you hear is normal. Also you don't think they're raging homosexuals."Good morning master." Lara says softly, careful not to wake the woman she [rightfully] assumes is asleep behind you. As the third oldest she's a bit less flighty than the older two, and more demure than the youngest."Shall I bring tea or will you be taking it downstairs this morning?"Comment too long.

>>6457960You smile as you ponder your past adventures as a bard from the college of Valor. You've long travelled in search of adventure, yours and others, whether it was fighting orcs in defence of a village (you defeated their leader in a duel and got his half orc daughter as a peace offering), rescuing a pretty princess from the lair of a young red dragon (by seducing her, the dragon that is):then getting lavishly paid a reward for saving the princess (then accidentally leaving that reward behind to avoid getting caught with said naked princess, AND her pillowy-racked mother), or fighting and feasting with a barbarian tribe in a mead hall (and fighting and fucking their fur bikini clad daughters) you've experienced amazing things.Your room is full (not literally, there's room for more) of trophies from previous adventures. A trident which deals extra cold damage as a memento from your brief period as guest to a very voluptuous triton woman and her curvaceous daughters (and some seashell bikinis you took with you that to your delight only BARELY fit your concubines), a lavish set of cloth bard clothes, comfortable, colorful, enchanted to stay clean and allow you to reroll a number of Charisma checks equal to your Charisma bonus per day, a chain shirt that can cast Shield once per round (a gift from a buxom, bespectacled, 35 year old sorceress you deflowered), and a scratched set of steel Half-Plate armor. There's more besides, a short sword that returns to your hand (a gift from a pretty dwarf in exchange for getting to give you the best standing titfuck of your life), a ring that let's you cast Create Bonfire (stolen from that red dragons hoard while she was writhing under you), another ring that lets you cast Shape Water (a gift from a lithe sea elf pirate you slept with to pay for passage, she said she 'owed you change'), and your trusty +2 rapier, made by the same Smith who made your half plate, just to name a few.>(cont)

Rolled 8, 2 + 1 = 11 (2d10 + 1)Rolling to speed things up
Raid and Skirmish StrategiesRaid: Hit the enemy hard, aiming to inflict losses or dis-lodge the foe rather than to seize new ground. Add an extra +1 battle strategy modifier for each of Air Superiority, Cavalry Superiority, Naval Superiority, and Recon Superiority. A win-ning Raid can reduce enemy PB but not gain PB for the raid-ing force. In addition, if the winner inflicts any casualties, he may opt to apply these to the enemy’s logistic force instead of to the opposing fighting force.Skirmish: Exchange harassing fire at long range, falling back if attacked. The commander receives a +2 battle strategy modi-fier – and if he has Air Superiority, Artillery Superiority, and/or Fire Superiority, he gets another +1 (not +1 each!). Winning with a Skirmish strategy doesn’t gain PB, and the margin of vic-tory is halved (round down). Win or lose, however, the skir-mishing side takes 5% fewer casualties; e.g., if the outcome would normally be 15% casualties, they’d suffer only 10%.
Rolled 15 (1d20)The Winning SideThe winning side’s casualties are automatically halved after the battle, rounding down to the nearest 5%. This represents recovery and repair of damaged vehicles, healing of the walk-ing wounded, and rallying of scattered elements.Losses came down to about 10 percent wounded or dead after a recovery period of 1 to 3 months.Rolling for Pipeline to sell the weapons we liberated but can't use.
>>6463624Vote on this plz.---Through the intelligence of Pipeline and Mr. Freeman, the weapons are inspected, sorted, mildly or moderately repaired, and scavenged from each other for parts. They are sold by Pipeline to what the group considers reasonable buyers, which could be Lurd, or other people. The value of the weapons comes out to about 2 chipkins per weapon, with some worth more and some worth less. With about 2 units' worth of weapons that could be recovered, this means every single man who serves gets a chicken. The chickens will be monitored and kept under control by the faction leader and pipeline, and they will be given as a pension to the soldier after they leave. Until that happens, the Russians have seen fit to take all the eggs laid by the chickens, scramble them, add additional powdered eggs as necessary, and provide one portion of the mixture to each soldier every single day.
Okay, I thought in the spirit of Africa, we would look over the Hearts of Darkness system, which was created by Notepad Anon. What I'm seeing is that because you're both from West Africa, you're both smarter or more charismatic. However, Mr. Freeman is smarter or charismatic because he's westernized, while Bossman Guru is tougher or has a quicker reaction time and better capability to shoot. Creates a weird setup because Bhaskar Guru is the leader of the two of you and has more troops loyal to him, but he is actually better in combat and worse at strategy.

You may give up 1 Skill to get either +2 Hit Points in a single Aspect (Body, Mind, Magic, Faith, which all start at 5 HP) or +1 Defense in a single Aspect per Skill you give up.You can also give up 1 HP or 1 Defense from any one Aspect to boost another, but you cannot have more than 7 or less than 3 HP in any one Aspect, and Defense cannot be higher than 2 in any one Aspect. You must trade HP for HP, and Defense for Defense.You can also specify two weapons, a weapon and armor, or a weapon and two tools. These add +1 damage to any successful combat roll (for weapons), +1 to the initial roll for related skill checks (for tools), or -1 damage taken from any physical attack (for armor). Weapons and armor can be magical or physical, but only one or the other, with wizard's staffs and protective robes serving as weapons and armor for the purposes of magic rolls while a warrior's more conventional sort apply to physical rolls.Comment too long.
