In the world of Hainei, everything is desired, and there are those that will come together to tug even at what is ruined. But even what is in ruins is not truly dead, and as long as a heart remains that beats below the surface, it can be unearthed eventually.~~~This quest is a side story that takes place in the universe of Chaos: The Quest for Redemption.

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.

Your name is Vincent Cruz. You work in a shady government-backed facility in the middle of the New Mexico desert. You are a footnote to the Powers That Be. You've actually proven yourself to be useful to the Powers That Be, due to your research into CIGARETTE MOLD and the fact you’re powering part of their facility.You're a researcher for the Abnormality Regulation Coalition (also known as ARC), tasked with containing and studying paranormal entities on their behalf. You've always had a knack with the anomalous, even before you ended up here, ever since that chance encounter with a certain HEART.You're great at making the worst out of a bad situation, at least. You've got friends, you've got cash, and you got a lot of companies on your side. Even if they’re only on your side because you’re a useful wageslave.As for what happened over the last day or so?You finally managed to free yourself from your endless shift. It took way too long to complete it, and you had to juggle a million things at once, but you did it. A certain DEERFOX SHADE harassed you right before you left, but that's a problem for future you to deal with.You managed to strike a deal with a powerful corporate executive by the name of Mr. Rust. While he may be a fully artificial(?) robot with little care for anything outside of business, he actually seems to like the cut of your gib. You two aren't so different at the end of the day, and he's going to do his best to help you out over the upcoming days.You finally tracked down the murderer of Caspian. After a short interrogation that resulted in him framing himself, you had enough evidence to charge him for his crimes. You might've had to calm Caspian down before she went insane, but at the very least, she was able to move on.You also tracked down a conman who was besmirching the name of your mold. It turns out that he was being harassed by the original researcher behind your product. Or what was left of the researcher, anyways. You were able to scare him off before things got too hectic, at least.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
"Any clues how its eyes work?""my senses tell me it doesn't 'have' them. those scribbles are all it has." She scratches her chin with one hand as she takes another check. "it's not regular graphite or ink though. you really have to squint but they're made up of something that's moving? like, the graphite particles."You squint. Hm, she's not wrong. What you assumed to be graphite actually appears to be a colony of very tiny, almost microscopic...things? They're way too small to make out with only the naked eye. The rest of its anatomy seems relatively simplistic, in that there's nothing BUT the paper and the microscopic organisms(?) that make up its eyes.Ashton peels back as many layers of paper as she can without harming the anomaly, but there's no flesh or chitin or blood. It's all paper, all the way down. After it's done eating the documents you gave it, a new 'layer' of paper swiftly grows on top of the previous top layer. You can even make out most of the words from your old dossier.So, you highly doubt it can be affected by things that would otherwise affect regular biological organisms. Which is both a good and a bad thing, based on how you look at it. There's not much else to learn here.

"Nah, I don't. Heck, I think it's pretty ballsy of you to work on what? Seven anomalies at once? One of these days, something's gotta breach."You admit that you've had a lot of close calls. Mostly with 199X, but there's a good chance one of your anomalies will try breaching by the end of the day. It's a matter of probability if nothing else.One step at a time, though. That's all you can do. You prepare for whatever might be going on inside of that telescope's cell. Edward hasn't said anything but he's already drawn his gun. It's a sleek if schizophrenic looking firearm, looking like it came straight out of the mind of a particularly deranged fish more than any human.At least it's not any weirder than a telescope that can burn through metal.https://youtu.be/99gunn8xe2E - EDIS REHTO EHTYou almost immediately vomit once you cross through the airlock. It's not even because of any particular smell or sight or noise. Something is fundamentally, physically off-putting about the containment cell. Edward is faring a lot better but even he seems to pick up on that inherently off-putting 'air' inside the cell.The documents on the walls, which are all lined with mentally disturbed scribbling, are noticeably unharmed by whatever caused the damage to the backmost wall. It doesn't take a genius to put two and two together that the telescope itself was the cause, but the exact mechanism is still alien to you.The false stars above you float around listlessly, vibrating with an anxious energy, or perhaps rage?

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.

She has the potential to be the most dangerous fighter in the Seventh Universe.>worst time to be RavenWorst time to be Raven SO FAR.Yes. Like how much of a box you can interact with by slipping a finger through vs slipping your hand up to the wrist.Very worrying indeed. We'll have to wait and see how it affects her, having her mind broken into like that. After all, we saw how it affected Freeza in the Time Chamber.

Congratulations on surviving your first mission. This was a good light test to see how processing and running things would work. I have some improvements to make, and some balancing tweaks to make. I plan to design some mechanics to make this game more campaign-like with resources and benefits from one mission to the next, so I'll be taking a few weeks of hiatus to work on that, before starting back up.
Thanks for running.
>>6468583Thanks for the game. I look forward to see what you come up with.

Argentum Ever-gleaming and lustrous, it flows through your veins IN this dilapidated iron tomb floating in space. It is a medium between Mekkina and Magika . An intertwined heresy that had doomed your creators by merging the divine ichor of the long dead Automia with their technological advancements in liquid form, they didn’t revive the goddess they coveted oh so much, instead, a new menace would rise from her rotten womb: The Revenants . Aberrations of flesh and circuits with an endless thirst for the ever sweet blood of man. In a sense, they are your less-than-refined brothers and sisters, crossbreeds of Mekkina and Magika but their hatred for petty mortals playing gods would result in total annihilation of all mankind according to the space station’s sensors. You are a failsafe or a countermeasure meant to exist for the sole purpose of reclaiming the planet . No matter how resourceful you are, you can’t do it on your own. You must revive the Foundry in order to forge the true saviors of humanity: Tactis Throughout centuries worth of conflict against the Revenants, humanity had replicated the data of their finest inside an Argent Core , a well spring of skills and knowledge needed to retake the planet.

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.

>>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)

For a very long time in both nations, one group of people got to have all the wealth, and then another group people got mad about it and did a revolution, but then that second group was totally psycho with cutting off limbs and having child soldiers, ect ect.One of the nations has mostly ended it's civil-war finally, but the dictator of the other one is selling lumber and rubber to The West to fund an army of child soldiers and mass murdering fuckheads. His name is Charles Taylor and he's basically this guy here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHn5nfW3pNwVillages are burned to the ground, refugees are starving in camps, and the local UN or African Union Forces are incompetent and corrupt.Comment too long.

This is a machine or whatever, but I think it gives us an idea what what happened to your neighbor and thus maybe Liberia.IRL, the first party elected into office was ass and the second one to replace them in 2007 was way better.It sounds like what would've happened is the second party would've been pushed into power intead.-->AI Bullshit, but I looked at the sourcesIf we look at the second post-civil war presidential term (2007–2012) underPresident Ernest Bai Koroma (of the APC party), the comparison gets veryinteresting.Koroma ran on a platform called the "Agenda for Change," focusing heavily oninfrastructure, agriculture, and health.

Thanks for running, QM. It was very interesting.
"Adventurers Wanted!"So sayeth the sign, hammered into the hard earth just outside the entrance of Zurham Gristmean's Grizzly Bear Guesthouse, the small frontier town's only real place for booze or bedding. While Crowsflight is no center of culture or commerce, the dwarf's action is still momentous and meaningful. Everyone knows, when such a sign goes up, they will inevitably appear... Those daring doers of derring-do, good and evil and everything in between, from far and wide and high and low.Adventurers!Things must be dire indeed...>Submit a character!We will be using Simple d6 3rd Edition (https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Simple_D6_-_Third_Edition), so include: a name, a race-class combo (your quality), and five skills. 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.

What he had was left of the hoard itself, whatever the Night Hawk had collected and had not tumbled down with the drop-kicked dwarf, stuffed into his suit. Less than a dragon's hoard, but more than a night's work usually pays."THAT IS STOLEN PROPERTY," said the basket."Because you stole it," said Buzz.They reached Crowsflight by dawn: a half-orc with two axes and a fistful of burnt feathers, a knight carrying a basket that kept complaining, a rogue with a grandmother on his arm, a beekeeper leaking honey and jingling with coin, an ogre picking his teeth, and a very small witch squinting against the sunrise.Zurham Gristmean was on his front step. He had been on it all night.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Thank you all for playing. I may return with a next adventure soon. Taking participation and feedback into account, I'm not sure just yet. if I do, I'll try to make some changes to how I plan it out and pace it.
>>6470590Good, it was a fun game. I hope you get enough players and activity next time.
>>6470588Thanks for running it! Didn't expect to have as much fun as I did--very fun system all things considered! Hoping we can do it again sometime soon!
>>6470590This was really fun to play, thank you for running!
Opportunity, freedom and power lies West of the Mississippi. Gold and land are in abundance - along with competition. The chance to strike out and make it big. More so if you are Kindred or Cainite. Even with the establishment of the west coast, and the transcontinental railroad linking New York to San Francisco, large swathes of territories-turned-states are still blank on the map. Cities are contested, and outside of towns is no man's land. The Sabbat have been losing territory since the Mexican-American War. The Camarilla, led first by Anarchs, are making inroads, and the independent clans are trickling in. The Jyhad is anyone’s game out here, and it's mostly neonates and fledgling playing. The American Civil War has been over for five years. Many people headed west, and Kindred followed. Along with technology advancing, record keeping was on the rise. You had to have your identity written down, even if it was your false identity. The way you were taking the train, though, didn't require identification. As far as the mortals knew, you were just a special-made coffin. That's why it weighed so much, they reckon. But who was this coming down on an iron horse? >Raphael Two-Saints. Up from Montréal way. The immigration officer couldn't spell your family name of Toussaint, so you settled with “Two-Saints.” Skirmishes with the Native tribes saw your sire granting you the Embrace. >Sybil Proctor. From an esteemed plantation family, you left the stifling South behind. A combination of your pedigree and strong sense of self caught your sire’s attention. >Write-In. Include name and something that made them stand out to their sire. What is your clan?

>>6458159>Scout out the Redwood Forest>>6459045Yeah but city Gangrel are basically dirty hobos that nobody likes.
Gangrel elders are weird. Most gangrel die or become corrupted before becoming elders. Those who make it to elder status find isolated places to sleep through the centuries and avoid the politics of the Cainite kind. Elder gangrels have founded the path of Lilith, hunt garou for sport, worship Kupala, join secret societies that puppet the puppeteers, or become warlords.Most gangrel don't care for people or the weak and live with nature, partly because of their blood and because vampire politics get you killed.
>>6459049To be frank, most don't care for the Gangrel because they tend to neglect their social stats and all the perks that come from that, like status, resources, appearance, boon debt, etc... it's like you have a group that refuses to play by the rules. If granrels had something that other cainites wanted or valued, they would be more welcome.
>>6459040>>6459049Gangrel are the most prolific and whimsical embracers, you can find all kinds of people in the clan.
The most promising wuxslop in some time, still abandoned. Might take over if he doesn't come back soon.
The Halls of the High Hollow ring with the echoes of long past labors. They resonate with songs whose verses were long sung last. Your place is not amongst the fading frivolities which shall soon be forgotten. The depths call for you to strike the Earth, and the stone walls that protected the heart of world for ages unfathomable are still no obstacle to a child of perseverance. To grasp the pickaxe and the spade is to have the riches of the world already half in hand.
You’d bored deep into Geochaotic strata, the HUNGRY STONE looming all about in its dark eminence, patches of it reflecting light and glittering while others soaked it up like a sponge of night. All of it felt AWARE and DREAMING. Following the coordinates the SERVANT OF THE VOICE gave you, you’d break through quite soon…with the NARWHAL only a bit tuckered out.“Something’s fighting,” the Servant said with a nasally sneer, sensing it through the ground somehow “Good. Maybe it’ll distract everything around and we can get the Moissanitee and leave…try to be subtle with this last bit.”No reason to BUST ON THROUGH with that sort of suspicion. You carved away the remainder carefully until a hole crumbled through- then pushed the rest of the way through with HAMMER AND CHISEL. You stepped through into the GEOCHAOS- crackling and brooding both, and looked down a fork of IMPERIALESQUE TUNNELS, the wall between them already catching the eye with the twinkling light of MOISSANITE beckoning through stone, twenty paces up the wall.True to the Servant’s word, down the left tunnel echoed the sounds of some FIERCE BATTLE. The earth RUMBLED with impacts made against walls and floor, and the sound of furious roars and impacts against stone echoed through the cavern. Whatever was fighting had found an EVEN MATCH.The MOLE that you were keeping in your things, which you honestly COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT until this very moment, suddenly decided to move out without forewarning. It scrambled down the other way through the caves, scrambling from stone to stone towards some ODD LIGHT, on the move. What it was or what the mole was interested in, you had NO IDEA.Only that you could only do ONE THING at once, and DELAYING the chance to mine might cause something else to WANDER ALONG when you returned from another whim.>Get the MOISSANITE. An opportunity like this is rare, and you won’t pass it up for any DISTRACTIONS. Least of all ones with NO BREASTS. >Investigate the FIGHTING. Perhaps something you liked might need help- or two things needing a BEATING would find out that you were destined for VICTORY.>Follow the WAYWARD MOLE, even if you knew not where it would go, surely a cave creature would not run so brazenly in such a DANGEROUS STRATA without good reason.Comment too long.

Although historians would only later append 'the Younger' to the name of Prince Cyrus--to distinguish him from his father--he was worthy of that epithet already. He was barely twenty-two. He kept a short black beard, the best he could manage in his youth, and the Persian habit of painting his eyes with kohl. He sat a horse loosely and without effort. At close quarters one could see the scars, white and ridged where his coat opened at the neck and where his sleeve met his hand, which were rumored to have been earned in deadly contest with a bear. He was, from his birth, serious and thoughtful. Often, he sent wine or meat from his own table to men who pleased him. Men who displeased him left his court short a hand, a foot, or an eye.His seat was in Sardis, the old Lydian capital at the foot of Mount Tmolus. The timber and mud-brick houses of Sardis crowded around the narrow Pactolus, whose sands had once made Lydian kings rich. Above them the acropolis ascended a sheer ochre crag, so that the city seemed to be shaded by a fortress. Lydian craftsmen, Greek traders, Persian officials, and soldiers from half a dozen countries jostled in its markets. It was prosperous and ancient, but not peaceful by nature. Cyrus the Great had taken it from Croesus, and Greek rebels had burned it a century before. Its present tranquility was yet another anomaly of the age maintained by Persian spears.It was there, in Sardis, that Cyrus ordered his scattered Greek contingents to assemble. Two thousand men gathered by his guest-friend Proxenus of Boeotia, fifteen hundred hoplites, another five hundred light-armed men with javelins, slings, or bows. The Peloponnesian War had ended only three years before. Many among them faced the prospect of neglected farms, inherited debts, or cities which disdained their return, and so had not yet left the service. Their present task, so they were told, was to put down the hill tribes which were troubling the Prince's lands in Pisidia. It was to be a short and predictable campaign, no more than a season's march, with a few villages spoiled and plundered, some Pisidian barbarians butchered. A common enough kind of war, and to many, a last chance at redemption or glory or fortunes, before the inevitable retirement.
Can Lys try using rhetoric to soften the blow of refusal?
