Alabaster discussion

Sun, 12 Nov 2023 03:30:23 +0000

Here is the thread to talk about the tragic troll adventure Alabaster! After a few months, it's still bizarre to me that I'm back to this old work. But it feels comfortable and logical, I'm happy to find back these characters and to guide them towards their fate.

Here you can talk about whatever you want regarding the adventure!

I'm making a world, help!

Tue, 19 Nov 2019 13:36:48 +0000

Im making a world, and i just really need things to put in it, cause i want most everything to be unique in it. And I've been getting ideas from my new bf, who makes worlds, but i still want help. Currently the magic system is based around these things called spherules that totally are not inspired by the automaton from slay the spire. and the spherules will not be like fire frost lightning, you know, the classic magical thing. they will be entirely unique magic elements. Oh yeah I'm back btw.

VEBBINQUEST Announcement & Discussion

Sat, 30 Mar 2019 19:15:25 +0000

VEBBINQUEST has begun.

VEBBINQUEST will be a one-day premiere event taking place on April Fool's Day, 2019.

A malformed thing named Vebbin finds himself at the will of inputs from a variety of strangers. He is set forth on a quest for revenge. For twenty hours, you will be in majority control of all of his faculties, able to utilize his role as 'protagonist' to achieve great or terrible things. Your success in completing this quest will hinge on a variety of factors. You will have to be clever, you will have to be quick, and your actions are inevitably moderated by the speed at which the narrator can complete the next update. If suggestions are too menial or too complicated, you will lose time.

You will have one day.

You will only have one day, as you have always had.

From the arbitrary times of 4:00 AM PST to 12:00 AM PST, constrained within one American's April Fool's Day, you will have this slim opportunity to achieve your task. Regardless of outcome, your gateway into Vebbin's life and universe will close at midnight, once April Fool's Day has commenced.

Policy about typing quirks and leet

Sat, 05 Jan 2019 23:17:26 +0000

Is there a policy against typing quirks? I find it annoying. I am sure others do to.

If it's limited to roleplay, that's fine.
A forum is an archive format and should be maintained.

This is especially important for long-running threads. Forum adventures are meant to be read in full.

GOD JAMMER Disthread

Consider this a nice little notebook to strategize about your rise in Godliness with others.

Feel free to discuss whatever or ask for clarification here though!

Btw, if any of you all weren't aware, this adventure is based on my setting Songs we Sing, which I do world building for and set my fantasy stories in.

WHAT AND WHY IS THIS HERE:
Mainly so I can track the progress you guys make in the main thread, and put it where you can easily find it.
I don't believe this adventure needs discussion, but if you want to discuss it, then that's fine and this is where it can go.

The OP of this thread will continually update as the adventure progresses.

Infovore Discussion [Spoilers]

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 13:30:12 +0000

Here is a place to talk about all things Infovore. There is a spoiler warning, that way you can talk freely. You can also ask me some questions, but I won't be spoiling anything myself.

First I bet someone will ask me this eventually, so I will explain how I have “fancy” curly quotes and tab spaces.

Show Content

Spoiler
I use autohotkey, with my own custom script which allows my keyboard to replace " with “” and replace tab with an empty Unicode character.
Since the forum ignores multiple spaces, and doesn't accept tab normally. There are some other features such as pressing . . . quickly makes … which is the character for ellipsis, and some bbcode hotkeys for convenience.

Show Content

Spoiler
If you want to use the script yourself.

Code:
;What you need to know: 0.4

;" becomes “ and ”

;alt+' becomes ‘ and ’

;Tab becomes '    ' Which are blank unicode characters

;Ctrl+b,i,u,t,h for bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and url.

;pressing . three times quickly makes … instead of ...

;pressing - two times quickly makes — instead of --

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.

SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

Discussion Dimension

Mon, 15 Jan 2018 11:36:23 +0000

It's been a (mostly irrelevant) secret that my adventures share a setting! Each story is another perspective of this collaborative storytelling and world-building effort, all set in the same universe. As such, this right here is a general discussion thread for these adventures and suggestion games. Questions about the settings itself, the rules systems the games use, feedback, or any other sort of brain-picking are all welcome. Since these are part of a collaborative storytelling and world-building effort at heart, I'm trying not to nail down details in advance as much as possible... so there's a lot of stuff I genuinely don't know yet! Also, note that the contents of this thread are likely going to verge on the Spoilery, so be advised if that is a thing that matters to you!

Thanks a bundle for reading, playing, and creating these stories with me!

Mayuventure talk thread (Art of Domination, Refugeville, From The Sands)

Mon, 18 Dec 2017 08:16:35 +0000

Decided to create a thread where people who follow my adventures can talk freely among themselves and ask me questions that may or may not be directly related to the adventure threads. I enjoy reading story speculation, so feel free to add your thoughts too!

Reforge Discussion, etc.

Fri, 09 Jun 2017 21:26:11 +0000

Link to Reforge
Reforge is a fantasy adventure in which a handful of very unprepared people in a very unprepared world try to stop the servants of an ancient god from recreating the universe in its image. Not dying in the process would be a plus. It relies heavily on reader suggestions with nothing really written in stone, and usually updates more than once a week. It used to be hosted elsewhere, and a mirror including the older, pre-ET content is pending.

On the topic of the mirror- within probably just a few updates, the viewpoint is going to switch to a scene that relies much more heavily on older content. I don’t think that reading that past content is an absolute necessity given the recap, but I recognize that people might still want clarification on stuff. Because of this, I wanted to get the mirror up before the scene change but it seems like the new site isn’t quite all there yet. So in the meantime this thread can act as a place to ask about anything that seems unclear!

Obviously it can also act as a place for general discussion of characters, events, and world.

Feel free to pitch me questions about the story, setting, or running of the adventure, too, because as a reader driven endeavor I want to have open communication about this thing.

Treasurehats! Please stand by

Fri, 02 Jun 2017 15:18:52 +0000

Behold, the exploits of Janus D'Great and the Treasurehats!

Mirror! (Up to date!)

Complementary Nthspace facts, aka Doodlequest (sometimes a smidgen bit spoilerish but mostly background info)

Treasurehats is my longest running adventure, and one of my greatest achievements.

It is set in the vast and mysterious Nthspace, where various self contained miniature universes (or spaces, as they are called colloquially) float in an endless void, connected by portals of strange energies. Magic and technology live side by side, walruses seem to hold cosmic significance, elder things run bars and mumble about the good old times before time, and a family of gnolls ran a magical research space penal colony that might be entirely illegal. This penal colony is where our story is set. Sadly dropbox betrayed me, and the image links have deceased. I have replaced the links in the thread, but I still have to update them in the mirror, which will take some time...

Secret fact: almost all of my old games and adventures were rolled into this multiverse! Even Hexaspace is semi-canon.

If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them!

Void Girl Chat 'n' Stuff

Sat, 22 Apr 2017 23:42:13 +0000

Void Girl

Void Girl is a forum adventure starring an aspiring Warp Mage who may someday rule over multiple planes of reality! I update several times a week, usually with pictures but sometimes without, depending on my schedule's chaos level.

Void Girl is all about the audience participation. Readers supply dialogue, motivations, and actions for the titular void girl's companion to influence the story and characters. Posts on the main thread that aren't directed at me are assumed to be in-character.

This thread is for speculation, Q&A, and general Void Girl chattery that you don't want influencing the main thread. No crazy revelations have happened yet, but when they do, please tag your spoilers!

So, that's that. Feel free to talk to me/among yourselves 'bout all things Void Girl!

Tiny Chat People

Thu, 20 Apr 2017 01:42:56 +0000

I actually kinda wanted a discussion thread for TCP for a while, and now feels like a pretty good time to make one.

So, here we are: a space to clutter all you like with theorizing, strategizing, and other such talk related to
Tiny Cat People.

Regarding spoilers: as much as I would love to see someone catching up on the thread liveblog in here, I think it'd be more practical if I didn't make it mandatory that discussion relating to the latest updates be put in spoiler tags? But that'd probably be good manners to do, anyway.

Regarding other spoilers:

Swamped Talk

Wed, 19 Apr 2017 17:21:47 +0000

Swamped

Swamped is a text adventure I write about an ongoing struggle between two factions in a nameless swamp populated by ferocious beasts. I update it daily.

Since I update it so often, catching up can be a pretty big time investment. If you're attempting to do so, feel free to talk about your progress in this thread.

Of course, feel free to talk about anything else Swamped-related. You can ask me about the world, about choices I made, come up with your own fan-characters, whatever floats your boat.

Please use discretion when discussing spoilers, at least until it becomes clearer how far along people who use this thread are. In particular, some important things happen when the rain comes, and I wouldn't want to spoil those events for new readers.
