Delta Session - Planning

I am going to run a session with a Game Master/Narrator who will be running the villains and random plot twists, and some benign NPCS.
There will be a plot outline to make sure we get where we need to go.
The main villain in this story is going to be... Me.


I want four players, there are three group formats I am interested in, but we can decide that as we need to. If you'd like to create a character just for this session that would be great too, but bringing in other OCs is cool too.

We will have either 4 humans, 4 trolls, or 2 humans and 2 trolls. I want genders and moons to be equal, and do not require a space or time player, as there will be no scratch. Each player will be tasked to create an exile to be the one giving their character commands.

Play periods will be orchestrated into Acts, with each act having its own thread. There will also be intermissions that take place at the ends of acts. Each Act will have a brainstorming period pre gameplay where we voice where we want the story to go, and what we want for our characters. If you become inactive your character will be taken over by me for a week before their untimely death. If you return in that time, play will resume as normal.

Please only join if you know you can be active. I know I am prone to losing interest but thats only when there are too many players or the plot is just a random mess, this will not be a case here.

Here is how we will do the first two acts.
Act 1 - Mostly player driven, gameplay until entering the medium
Intermission 1 - Introduce exiles, equal driven between players and GM
Act 2 - Getting to your planets and starting main quests, Villain starts to chat up targeted players. Planets will be player driven, other will be GM driven.
Intermission 2 - Introduce Sluggi, Short and GM only.


What those mean.
Player Driven: A RP like you are used to.
Equal Driven: Setting will be done by GM, and important things will be handled by GM, all else is player preference.
GM Driven: Setting and surroundings will be done by GM, player actions will be more brief, think more like DND.
GM Only - Textwalls by me, I'll avoid these.



The game that will be played is "SBURG" as stolen from Paradox Space.

I'll take a Troll spot with Zealon Normae (Male, Derse) if I can, and also vote for the 2H/2T session because that's less people xD

(Sorry for taking a troll spot 'erryone who wants one, but I haffta)

I'm very interested in being included in this. I will be posting a new human OC a little later on. Once it is accepted I will submit it for potentially being involved.

Okay if we get another troll it MUST be female prospit.

I'll take a human spot (Male, Prospit) with Evan Corrant, the Mage of Light. I'm voting for 2h/2T.

Woo, Female Derse human next.

Taken classes are Prince, Mage. Taken aspects are Light, Space.

Would it be okay if I took the troll female spot. Where I could use my human character Kuri (Which needs approving. :<) and add on another character sheet of her troll self? XD

Rogue of Time! Okay, we have a pretty good session going here. Just need a female prospit troll that isn't any of those classes or aspects.

BUMP

If we cannot find anyone I can toss in a troll, but thats not ideal.

I have a female prospit troll but I'll need to find an alternative Aspect for her because she is a Maid of Space and you guys already have a Space player.

That works! I can help with that if you like.

Here's her bio. I already have some back-up aspects for her. I think Maid of Mind can suite well. https://homestuckrole-play.rpg-board.net/t2015-antlia-pneuma#26595

I wanna say maid of breath just for the joke. But mind suits her :D

When we gonna' start?

Later today, I am about to shower and leave.

OKAY!

Planning for Act 1 begins now. And also a bit of planning for the full session.
First off, is there anything anyone specifically wants to get out of this session? This is the best time to vocalize it. What things does your character NEED out of the others and villains, that kind of thing. What things does your class mean you will be doing all game that needs foreshadowing?

The entry order will be:

Zealon as host for Antlia
Antlia for Even
Even for Kuri
Kuri for Zealon

Zealon will be the one to set up the paradox clones, but it will be different then standard procedure.

We also need to figure out how each character will help with GSNAIL's DNA, and who will own it. There is also going to be another component of Sluggi, but we can bring that in later. Though I want to choose who its connected to now. I would like a human to own one, and a troll the other.

I did a quick search on Evan's title and aspect, and I found this:

Spoiler:

Do we know what code will be used to create the First Guardian?

If its possible. Being that Kuri is the one with the t.i.m.e aspect and stuff. Would it be okay that her and those who have known and already figured out the Gsnail code. Will make herself sent into past being that shes a past but godtier self doing so quickly without creating a t.i.m.e paradox. Then her future godtiered self (If by somehow getting on Alterina when the reckoning is happening upon the trolls home planet.) Goes to put down the code in some random hive after flying down into a massive crater and t.i.m.e warping back in t.i.m.e. A reason why she goes back in t.i.m.e, is because of the whole, humans and trolls timelines go in the direction of both humans and trolls passes.

Then by secret. By making a robot cosplay suit. She would go back in t.i.m.e in everyones connection to the game before bailing out to the last second when they enter the game. She would do this to every connection to the game until the last one. Which PLOT TWIST she dies at the last one conneting at some point and so Kuri who is there and someone telling is her. Makes her have to have a slight paranoid inspired mental break down and makes her not do that. Considering that Kuri dead came from a doomed timeline.

If only I can join, oh well....

Also a mistake I noticed on Kuri's character sheet of pre planning her back on tumblr. Was that her godtier was really intended to be a thief of t.i.m.e. But if the thief class spot is still there. Can it be changed out?

[Notice how her godtier is really of a thief :x]

Yeah thats fine Dex.

Also the first guardian code is always something the players scribble on the walls in their sleep, and there is going to need to be one code per player.

Okay, so I have Antlia figured out. Because she is a Maid of Mind, she'll be trynig to criticize people's choices but in a non-rude way. Also, her talent of solving every kind of problem is going to shine here. She'll also be helping people choose and justify them accordingly. Also, I think she might be able to give logic to people so I suggest one of the characters do somethig stupid or rash and Antlia should try to either fix it or let the character like show how wrong his choice was and let them fix it.

That should be her more around the end of act 2, maids start off relying on others for their aspect.

Okay then. So Antlia should be shy to show her problem solving skills then.
