Dem Dice. No one who runs a quest dependant on them likes the dice after a few rounds. Very touchy, lady luck is around here...

i am EXTREMELY temepted to suggest she drunkenly stumble into her brother's room as ellandra in the middle of the night, wake him up and offer him some kind of sexual favor. as far as he knows you can't be in magical girl outfit on earth and it's the middle of the night, it will all be a wonderful dream.

Hey, is it possible to earn perks instead of skill points? For instance, Ellandra got drunk, so maybe she could learn how to aim while disoriented and hazy.

>>89628
What the fuck is wrong with you
He's like 10
They're related
Do u wanna put ellandra in therapy

>>89630
hmm, seems reasonable

>drunk target practice
I predict no ways in which this will go horribly wrong.

>>89628
>>89639
>>89641
he's older then 10 but younger then 18.

as for this actually HAPPENING.. if the dice roll that way. IT'd be PRETTY HARD unless she hits zero and the mechanic for that kicks in.

As for regretting that, if you want her to be fine with it, that's up to you guys:p I will say that, right now, Larama has no interest in Oden.

>>89641
okay I also think the "arrange drunken liason with a kid" suggestions are super grody but this is a disproportionate response

I'm still confused about the Self Control rolls. We succeeded on the roll, I thought that was supposed to have us choose the more self-controlled action (regardless of whether that was our suggestion or not, for some reason). But instead we're all "heyyyyy, shhe knows what sheeeeez talkin' 'bout." I mean, I guess we didn't take another shot ourselves, yet?

>>89658
Yeah, that confused me for a while, too.

Self control rolls appear to be kinda backwards. "Failing" a self control roll means we failed to overcome our self control. Which is what you'd usually describe as succeeding in controlling yourself.

Basically, look at it as our dumb ideas / bad impulses rolling to try and succeed and make themselves happen.

>B2 / Bro stuff
...it occurs to me, before we even get to the inappropriate age and incest questions, to ask if she's even interested in dudes. Our only data points for interest so far has been an alien gal, and (morbid?) fascination with porn of herself.

She is pan, but leans female. As for self control rolls I'm probably going to make them make more sense for day three.. Probably roll plus self control vs avg 20

>>89658
I feel like it's counter-intuitive myself but no, self-control successes are succeeding to BYPASS self-control. It's a failure of self-control that requires the success of an inappropriate suggestion to get through. In other words, it's a dice check AGAINST self-control. A failure means the self-control wins.

if anyone cares, I'm not going to offiicallyu pin down a location of B3's dojinshi store, but I was thinking very heavily of one of the K-Books on Otome Road in Ikebukuro- particularly, the one that sells non-yaoi porn dojinshi. So if you NEED a location for that store there you go

question about self control, if one poster gives a bad suggestion (kiss a random dude, grope our boss etc) and no one votes for it, does it still happen if we fail the self control check?

>>89672
All suggestions are thoughts that pass by her mind. The dc of the self control roll is related to how temping it is, how bad it is, and how many votes it gets, but sometimes she does one of the things and then nothing else is relevant or the thought is not relevant. She couldn't invite oden bc he couldn't get here anyway

>>89674
is there a threshold of how bad something is before you don't roll it? for example if someone makes a suggestion to randomly shoot someone, or something else with equally disastrous consequences and then the dice rolls a 20 the self control check are we screwed?

>>89680
If it makes no sense at all then i won't bother. But anything possible could happen if the roll is made

So, has the Crimson Authority banned "Video Poops" yet? Or does the Queen herself make hyper-weird parody videos for the public?

>>89790
The empress bans anything showing the authority in a negative light

btw have a lewdrama

tenta-tastic.

In the future we need to make sure we spend more time with our ovi-futa alien girlfriend-slash-sex-slave because if we keep hanging out with our little brother his whining is eventually going to roll a critical versus our self control resulting in incestuous /ss/ statutory rape.

...how is this our life. Maybe we should just throw ourselves into alien gladiatorial combat with renewed fervor until we're granted a merciful death.

Maybe we should just get an apartment.

Happy international siblings day:D

id say some of you need jesus but nah even worse
we need to dig through the fucking smorgasboard of gods to find the specific ancient pagan god capable of dealing with this shit (my bet is on greece or egypt since incest/fuckuppery is very much their jam)
how does one accidentally incest bruh

On the subject of dice... personally I don't like crits at all when they override skill checks. I feel like if you want to make high/low rolls more bombastic you could give a bonus/penalty on top of the roll and maybe have huge successes or huge failures have higher effects. Like say if you roll a 1 or 2 you get a -10 or -5 penalty on top of rolling low, and if you wind up 20 below a skill check it counts as a critical failure. On the other end of things, rolling a 19 would be +5, 20 would be +10, and getting 20 above a skill check results in a critical success.

This way, the 19 would have resulted in a 14 after the self control penalty, falling short of the 20 difficulty rating. Even rolling a 20 wouldn't have broken self control, which would make sense there considering the situation. It would have been a near failure though, falling one point short.

If you want things to be more extreme you could make the adjustments higher.

On the other hand you could simply remove automatic success/failure and use a second roll to decide how extreme the success/failure is.

>should I break out the d30?
I dunno. The wild swings between things working and blowing up in our face make the combat a lot of fun, and pretty unpredictable.

...it's just a little frustrating that the same mechanic that can make us fall on our ass, or blow a spell up in our face, could also make us throw ourselves in bed with our kid brother on a whim. Which is somewhat exacerbated by how quickly self control depletes itself, so the threshold for massive disaster drops rapidly. After resisting twice or so we're in trouble.

That said, I'm not entirely sure it should be fixed / changed. I mean, it would be a relief to have things a little more predicable, but running on the knife edge of catastrophe does add to the tension, and our crazed planning. Plus some of the ways we've weaseled out of things have been pretty funny.

So, uh, mixed feelings?

>personally I don't like crits at all when they override skill checks.
Well, it was cool when it let us catch and throw that planet.

i do enjoy the swinginess. But making it a little bit harder for her to go against her best interests is probably a good idea.

Regarding the crit discussion...
Perhaps a roll to confirm of some sort?

Just suggesting because people are talking about it. I don't actually care either way. It's your quest. It's your rules. It's your decision.

>>90195
I for one am against this change. My dumb joke almost caused hilariously bad decisions to be made and I love how it can be that frantic out of nowhere like that

>>90216
Hind sight is 20/20, huh?

>>90216
I'd rather not have bad decisions happen on the roll of a dice.

>>90221
but that is what makes it fun!

How about keep crits or disaster rolls in fights but not in personal life? +1 planet toss -1 incest

>>90223
can't have the good without the bad, dude.

>>90225
That's only true in real life.

>>90226
And even then only sometimes.

Bad decisions are very different things then battle mishaps.

>>90287
yeah but both, from my point of view, are hilarious

It's all fun and games until somebody tries to sleep with their brother.

I don't even see why she would seriously consider incest. Isn't *her* Westmarck imprinting functional, or were they separated from each other during the first ten years of their lives, or is she brain-damaged? Sibling-lust generally does not happen.

>>90328
Apparently, little bro was thirsty even before the whole magical girl thing.

>>90333
Are you implying the possibility of environmentally-induced or inherited dysfunction of whatever part of a person's neurochemistry is responsible for the Westmarck effect? That would be some very specific and weird brain damage if so.

>>90328
He hadn't been born yet during the critical 6 year period that the imprinting would have taken place for her.

This doesn't explain *his* attraction though. Part of it might be his lack of a social life.

>>90339
How much younger is he? If she was off being a magical girl and never home that might explain it.

>>90383
Trying to be non specific about ages. But he was probably tweenish when she got the device

Sounds like he's got BRAIN PROBLEMS!

Who is this stranger?

Also, did you report the old thread as complete, or should one of us do it?
