What if your general was not just a general but a nation, devoted to your oshi and their will? Enter this general where the fanbases and generals of /vt/ are reimagined as rival nations fighting bitter battles or beginning wholesome friendships for the glory of their oshis.mechanic editionPreviously: >>103971090Interactive map:https://vtwbg.github.io/Introductory document for new anons:https://rentry.org/vtwbg-qrdVITI ARCHIVE:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QxRtAENk7g3hJAlBsEWRJ6KVEItchyvymusJ1Q7ulEs/BIOME MAP:https://files.catbox.moe/wz0ad4.pngOTHER PROJECTS:https://rentry.org/vtwbg-projects

Okay we need a topic. I guess we can talk architecture?
>>104213438You got a rich history of architecture? Have you advanced past stones and ceramic?

>>104213735The library is a complete mystery. Rumors say it was built in another world more advanced than ours. Even surpassing Sanallite technology. Some say it was made with magic.
>>104213925does it have a source for this magic or did the magic just make a physical building
>>104214165The latter is more likely.
does your nation have any extinct animals? Recent or ancient ones?

Holy shit, I have been waiting to do this for so long now that I have another DND session later today so if thread survives then DOUBLE DND UPDATE!Quick note is that we got 2 new players but the dumbass barbarian and the warlock wasnt there so instead the party was a fighter, the sorcerer, and 3 FUCKING ROGUES!One of the new players was this extremely shy chick who came in with her dad that I felt the immediate need to PROTECT AT ALL COSTS. Funny enough wanted to play the third rogue thief. The other one was a dude who I personally despise since he chased away the last girl that wanted to play about a year ago and is overall one of those weird autistic guys, even more than myself. Sadly the contract states that I have to let him play unless he does something stupid so I will be keeping a close eye on the fucker. I personally insisted very hard that I sit between him and the shy girl for obvious reasons. Ok enough about that time for the actual recap. >everyone except for the assassin is in prison for burning literally everything>Assasin goes to the insurgent stronghold (they are still im mep btw) and meeting up with their captain, disguised as one of them>He insists that he will deal with the retards who had the genius idea of covering their fort in flammable oil to make it more slippery so people wouldnt climb the walls >meanwhile the other rogue has a VERY strong inmate and gets him to start a riot and it devolves into a prison break>a shit ton of guards go to the door and i introduce the 2 new players as fellow prisoners and give them the objective of getting the fuck out of there>the girl decides it would be a genius idea to repeatedly smash the door that is made of metal and the fighter does the same along with the NPC helping the rogue out.>3 straight turns of 3 big bois smashing the door down fails so the sorcerer tries to melt it with fire spells which fails and now the door is really fucking hot>Meanwhile the rogue is like "OH SHIT AN AIR VENT THROW ME UP THERE" and has everyone form a human pyramid like a cheerleader squad and SOMEHOW (nat 20) this fucking works and he is now hanging on the air vent, trying to tear it out>everyone else goes back to trying to smash the door down and almost succeed, making lots of dents and begin to barely bend the metal with sheer force at this point>The sorcerer remembers he has the enlarge/reduce spell and reduces the door, suddenly everyone can get out>the assassin, still in disguise shoots the first person to break out and its the big strong NPC so RIP Gorlock the big muscle goliath. All those muscles couldnt protect him from a headshot>The shy girl just says "screw this i run past all of them" and actually somehow just ignores everyone and sprints full speed for a window>everyone else sees this and decide to try the same shit>NO YOU FUCKING DONT BITCHES as one of the guards casts tidal wave and knocks everyone on their asses>eventually most of the prisoners get up and flee but cant make it past the main door and they cant rip the steel bars out of the windows so all NPC's are killed and the rest of the party surrenders>Assassin INSISTS that they all come with him and the captain of the whole base is like "yep fine with me"And thats pretty much what happened, i want to end this whole prison encounter this session and get the new players involved with the rest of the map. I stated before I wanted to put /vnug/ there and I asked for suggestions on where to put it with my suggestion of putting it where /towa/ is. And of course if anyone has ideas then tell me. Ok later fuckers.
CLEAR
Where are all the fuckers?
>>104227771I have awakened
>>104227869Oh hi, I'm just preparing for DND stuff.
>>104225758why are there so many rouges
Doob afternoon. Yard was wet so I slept in.
>>104229664Rogue, not rouge, rogue, rouge is the sexy bat in sonic.>>104225758Ayo this really picked up right where we left off, I remember everything was burning last time.>Prison break arcalways based, nice way to involve the new players.NOOO GORLOCKSo is the assassin gonna like free them and that's how the party is back together?
>>104227771I've been mulling over my country's technology and more advanced inventions. Most of it could likely be recreated through mundane means, but I think there should be some things that for one reason or another just don't work anymorePotentially, multiple questions arise from this. If magic was used in technology but a specific goddess's magic used for it went away, could another goddess's magic take its place? ("Would /who/-patented telegraphs function properly if the Nameless Element was replaced by Essence of Doob?" for example) I didn't find anything concrete looking through the Viti lore doc though I admit the mechanics may be carried over from Vitubia and the answer may be there somewhere. If there is nothing concrete, I intend to take the position that magic from one goddess is magic AA and magic from a separate goddess is magic AB, and although the core function is the same the specifics don't allow for replacing one goddess's magic with another's in the same inventions and receiving the same result.That being said, the concept or hope of another goddess's magic being a usable substitute could lead to some intriguing lore prospects: Would Hoomans sell technology they couldn't recreate through mundane means to other nations, and would laws in /who/ be put in place to prevent that from happening in the hopes of reincarnation/pink apotheosis/a non-magical breakthrough? If substitution is possible, the aforementioned hope of a pink apotheosis could be a technology-based reason for underground cults devoted to the Pink Angel and/or the One Who Was Here Before instead of a purely theological one. That being said, I can make the cults make sense in the setting without that detail if it doesn't line up with the laws of the land.I have a draft that talks about a few local wildlife species, but I've been putting off writing anything concrete about big picture stuff and it's likely more important to document stuff like the general technology level, the current state of the libraries and archives, and general lifestyle information about Hoomans in general before I distract myself any more with zoology or cryptids.>>104225758Assassin escorting the other party members is a nice way to bring the new players and the two who couldn't make the previous session together, as it could be generally agreed by the group as a whole that the Assassin would give the newbies a quick rundown on who the Barbarian and Warlock are on the way to them. I like it!Reiterating my stance from earlier that I am okay with /vnug/ taking /towa/'s place in the Vitubia map, though with the added caveat that I likely have the least authority on this matter due to not having been involved in that era of this project.
>>104231471Viti magic has worked a bit differently from Vitubia's, in general it's more powerful and versatile. I like to think it works on the same fundamental principles, but the leylines of Viti just have more mana running through them or something like that. But yeah, it seems pretty common to have most divine's magicks do some basic magical tasks, like glowing, powering mechanisms, or communicating with the spiritual, and then the specific essences can have various unique effects. I do think different essences wouldn't be a drop-in replacement for another; it'd be like having a machine that runs on 12 volt batteries and expecting it to still work if you swapped in a 24 volt battery, or a fuel cell. A skilled magical craftsman could maybe make a conversion, but it'd take some work.As for how hoomans deal with the trade of magical goods obviously that's up to you, but if there are regulations on this market you might see a black market of illegal magical goods dealing arise, which is always fun. that could tie into how those cults fund themselves and an added reason for them to stay underground.Oh man I love spec bio, looking forward to that. I wrote a little bit about morig spec bio in the zoology story.
>>104231114Yeah it was a long break and after they lit up everything on fire they traveled to the main base of the people they have been fighting for some time now. The players who were either absent or were coming in new I simply said "yup you got captured lemao".And yes I believe that is the plan. Free them, betray the captain of the base and run away somewhere would be my guess. >>104231471its all good. and im not sure if those 2 guys are going to show up again. Barbarian was a big airhead and didnt really do much but the warlock was super fun to play with. Also his dad is kind of a rich fucker who drives a porsche and his basement is the ultimate nerd dungeon so.....if he decided to quit then that will be disappointing. Especially since in game he wanted have everyone collectively by a boat for the party. That would have been so much fun.>>104232433I CANT RESIST! PIC RELATED!
Been thinking about the library and magic. And the underworld filled with schizos and monsters. There's certainly a divine presence now keeping the schizos away. Needs more study.
when divegrass
If the library was created by magic then who casted the magic spell to build it?
>>104238289The draw to decide which teams we face in the group stage will happen in 14 hours. The actual matches themselves won't start until next Friday.
>>104240376The exact truth is enshrouded in ancient mysteries, but the oldest records of the Archives suggest its construction might date back to eons before its presence on Viti, meaning that it was constructed elsewhere, and then teleported on Lorelei island somehow. From where? Who knows. The divine realm? The void of space? Vitubia? Could be anywhere.
>>104242484Wouldn't it be funny if the library is older than Vitubia?
Tonight's special is stir-fried cabbage and sasauges. How are projects going?

>Signs of alien life- Reports said around 40 years earlier astronomers from the ever expanding Watson Industries (Then known as Watson's Industries) spotted a bright light in the sky that did not land any where and made a strange noise before vanishing into the night over /awat/- Other nations did not report such sightings around these times so the only info gathered on them were from Astronomers- These reports would be consistent during the fall to winter seasons for the next 10 years. No explanation would be given for years other than the occasional theory from locals who happen upon the event- Many reports also claimed crop circle and other various lines in the shape of animals appearing around this time with no explanation of how they got there- While the crop circles in the rural areas of /awat/ still had no explanation other than an animal walking around. The lines in the shape of various animals were explained to be remnants from older Teamate tribes but some still claim it was aliens- While the light in the sky had stopped appearing for a number of years, speculation over what it could had greaten. Even starting a bit of a social gathering during the fall months to see if they can catch the white light in the sky- Around a few months ago the light had appeared again and the now Modern Watson Industries managed to grab a picture of the light with their modern cameras- After many scans of the photo the astronomers at Watson Industries had concluded that its merely space debris that burns up in the atmosphere and the mix of gasses causes the bright light to occur specifically over /awat/- News outlets, despite this information still claim that Aliens exist and claim that Watson Industries actually captured one of the flying objects and are currently keeping their findings in side their building within the city- It was recently discovered that bones of a creature resembling the anatomy of an Investagator was discovered with in the area normal over where the light in the sky would dissipate but the head structure was more narrow than, teeth serrated and eye sockets slightly bigger than a teamates.- It was taken in by Watson Industries and is currently under investigations as of this report.

the world is beautiful
Servants, kneel.
>vs pcgare we cooked
Alright, looks like our first three matches are set in stone. We'll be sharing a group with /ybc/ and /hag/ again which are both a repeat from last league. And our final groupmate will be /pcg/, which is a repeat of the league before that. A lot of rematches in our future, but hopefully we fare better against them than last time. Tune in on Friday to watch /vtwbg/ take on /ybc/ in another worldbuilding bowl!
ANOTHER FUCKING DND UPDATEOnly 3 players showed up on time AND IT WAS THE 3 FUCKING ROGUES LMAO ALL ROGUE PARTY!>The assassin takes them all to what is essentially solitary confinement and just tells them "stay here were getting out tonight">This guy is doing so good at pretendsing to be the enemy that everyone trusts him at this point and they give him the keys to the cells>He obviously plans a breakout and while all the guards are nearly asleep from being fucking bored, they break out through the air vents>eventually they get on the roof and get down via rope >find the weapon storage, break into it, and ignore all the gunpowder near the wall>flee as fast as possible while everyone is distracted>None of the players are suspicious at all that this happened so they just keep walking away >suddenly while they are asleep they get attacked by 10 dudes on horses>as soon as the encounter starts the fucking fighter shows up, an hour and 20 minutes late for a 2 hour session......>whatever ROLL INITIATIVE FUCKERS>the fight is extremely one sided as i severely underestimated the power of horses and their attacks >they all get their asses kicked and the enemies are just like "yeah they will die of dehydration in the desert lets just go">the dragonborn thief played by shy girl (the only one not down and barely alive with only 4hp) use medicine and anything she can find to stabilize the rest of the party>they realize they are stuck in the middle of a desert with no food, water, and barely any weapons except for the assassin and they all decide to head for the nearest bit of civilization>game ends with all of them nearing arid shrublands with 1 point of exhaustionThey lost all their gear they have been acquiring and only have basic shitty stuff stolen from the insurgents and are at a very real risk of dying from no food/water. Everyone had fun and I plan on getting a 3d printer to make minis so I dont have to keep using acrylic stands, even though they work nicely. Also want to use AI art to make their characters.
>>104261870>die of no food and waterOregon trail ass death
I got wine in the tavern today. And lemonade.
>>104261870>the prison break goes smoothly>they get ganked by brigands adn that almost does them inclassic! Surely that town they're approaching will be hospitable... Are they still in the same country at this point?Also 3d printers are super fun, I guess you'd be getting a filament one? I think good ones are pretty affordable now. I bought one like 12 years ago and it cost me 800 bucks.
>>104267152Yeah they're going to the other side of /mep/ now. Left side was the desert and the right side was more forest if I remember correctly.
>>104268490Maybe they can get a desert rain as a blessing on the way.
I always wanted to make mint lemonade for Mint's cafe. I know I can make it taste good somehow.
Sorry but mayo-aide might not be possible due to the oils used in mayonnaise. Oils float in water. Which makes mixing them hard.
>>104276663the mint special lemonade...they will never beat the allegations
I dont know about Mint but her artist is a sex goddess who I must have sex with. Every time I see Ayamy my cock gets hard and she even made Shimiko from Blue Archive who was MADE for cock.
>>104279464>flat>ayamyThis doesn't compute
>>104280321She made her have big tits in recent art. Anyway time to jerk off and go to bed. Ayamy is my queen.
Bed time.
Mint?
waooo!
i said wao!

>>104301473Anti-bump rule most likely. I'm awake now and mostly done with errands. Just have to do chores next.I've been thinking about the library being built with magic. Does the library still have magic somewhere inside it?
