Introducing the MGCYOA Supplementary Combat System!

The SCS was made as an add-on to the CYOA to cover the combat side of roleplaying. It allows players to easily take characters made in the CYOA v1.5 and use them in Quests and long-running campaigns alike.

This PDF covers the basics of magical girls and sets the groundwork for future updates (which will include Patrons, DMGs, and Monster Girls).

transformed: str:18 vit:16 agl:5 mag:1 luck:4 age:16
disguised: str:8 vit:8 agl:5 mag:1 luck:4 age:16
emergency, overdeveloped, metal spec, fist, uniform, killing blow, regen
martial training, wings, fake parents, familiar, enhanced transformation, enhanced outfit
deity base benefits, magical overload, monster girl, thick skin, redirected magic, hoarder, nonstandard limbs, physical prowess, big brother

Draconic monstergirl with metal control, massive strength and toughness, favored by Hephaestus. No ranged attacks, but devastating claws
Scales made of metal, transformed uniform is Hoplite armor. Strong enough to throw a car with ease, tough enough to shrug off high caliber fire
Slightly better than normal Agility, normal luck, almost no metaphysical magical power so almost all physical fighting stlye
Draconic form has dragon wings, dragon horns, tail and velociraptor like legs, all covered in metal scales
When disguised, is a normal girl that looks 19ish. Tomboy mechanic, with supernatural strength and toughness used in mechanic job
Hephaestus favour and metal specialization give great skill in working with metal objects, from smithing to car maintenance
Compulsively hoards gold and jewelry, though never wears it. Disguised form wears male clothes, especially work gear during mechanic job
Think Tomo from Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko when visualizing disguised form

Because someone decided to leave these out, even though there has been no actual ruling on removing them.

>>49534095
They're in the pastebin link. The thread needs to be trimmed in how many posts it starts with desu senpai

>>49536606
That's true, but the SCS PDFs are also out and about even though they've had a MEGA for over 6 months.

So the argument's a tad flawed.

>>49536626
SCS is regularly getting updated and has systematically been prevented from getting the face time it deserves. The other 2 amgc supplements have never been updated and are almost never used. I don't see the problem in letting another system shine!~

>>49536688
There's no point in showing one system in favor over another. I mean, really, how is the SCS supposed to beat AMGC in a fair fight if somebody keeps rigging things in one direction or another? This is no different than what you claim happened to the SCS.

Alright, then, after some careful evaluation, lots of reading material, and ten thousand pounds of yogurt, I feel I have come up with a few solutions for AMGC's balance issues.

Please to enjoy and input: https://titanpad.com/MWw4SHwvqg

>>49536837
The SCS wins on its on merits. I disagree with the idea that supplements that have remained essentially untouched, and are readily accessible, will be the deciding factors in a comparison of the two systems. If you're complaining about SCS being posted first... that's extremely petty and insignificant. It says nothing on the merit of either system.
Whoever makes the threads /could/ waste their time making sure AMGC stays in the spotlight, but I'm not shedding any tears over the FACT that SCS is starting to be less neglected.

>>49537066
>If you're complaining about SCS being posted first...
Actually, you're the one that brought that up. Order doesn't matter compared to rate of exposure. If there are 3 posts showcasing SCS PDFs and 1 post showcasing AMGC PDFs then there is a disparity in exposure.

Both have pastebins and MEGAs archiving their expansions and side materials. Both should get equal exposure. I propose a single post for each system with the links left alone. The only system that should be getting multiple posts to itself is the CYOA.

Name: Alexandra/ Toeval (Dutch)

The contact for power was not unfavorable to Alexandra. Not beyond the initial changes anyway. Granting both psychic power and supernatural luck, Alexandra adopted the name Toeval, being Dutch for 'chance'.

Her weapon is a set of stone dice which orbit her head. Her outfit, what it is, looks like that of a barely-modest casino dealer. She fights primarily by getting inside of an opponent's head, and if that alone is not enough, she barrages them with magic.

Toeval is also quite keen on games of chance, given her distinct, unfair advantage against most. Outside of literal games of chance and mind, she regularly throws herself into situations which by all means should be beyond her, yet her lust for power, mind reading, and unnatural luck repeatedly see her come out on top.

Also, what black coin?! There never was one; surely you imagined it. Aren't I right?

>>49568486

...except that I've done work with AMGC, as well? In fact, I started work on a rules change for AMGC partly to prove that there's no real animosity between myself and the AMGC-users within the community. Well, that, and I genuinely thought that it could improve the quality of the game. Nobody's really said much one way or another so I haven't been able to tell how successful that has been in either department.

At any rate, saying "how the FUCK is amgcore still used" is a dumb question because it's an entirely different game from the SCS, and people are gonna like what they're gonna like.

The irc is the irc. The thread needs to be acessible to the entire community by highlighting the CYOA. Drowning the general in AMGC content is not how one would accomplish that.

>>49577725
>Drowning the general in AMGC content

>one more PDF will put it even with SCS

>>49577800
... The SCS only has three pdfs and just got an update, though (Core, OCFF,W&W). Whereas this brings the AMGC total to five: Core, Corruption, Fusion, Puchuu, Fire, with a promise of another seventeen, one more for each regular spec.

Seems a lot more drown-y desu.

>>49577886

>>49577535

>>49577800
The SCS is an adaptation of the CYOA. It can't stand alond without the CYOA and Patron expansion. Therefore it has greater right to be in the thread.
Core is an entirely separate can of worms. Among multiple complaints about the volume of pdfs it has, not to mention all the drama around it... Adding even MORE is downright inflammatory.

>>49577886
I whole heartedly agree that we don't need a PDF for EACH spec. One PDF to bind them all together would be fine. If worried about the size of it, just cut out the pictures and fancy background.

>>49578192
They both are spawned from the same thing and have equal rights to be here. Without the extra Spell PDFs AMGC only has ONE more PDF than SCS. And given the formatting of SCS it wouldn't be hard to consolidate them into one or two PDFs to save space in the thread. AMGC has only recently gotten complaints about the "volume" of PDFs and the "drama" around it is just one guy.

>>49578693
I guess I could fit them all into one pdf. I'm just worried about space, since we're looking at some 80 pages for a project that size. I suppose I could get rid of a few pictures.

>>49581460
You probably won't be able to post it on 4chan, but offsite hosting will work just fine.

>>49581460
Could go the SCS route and make it as dull and drab as you can. No fancy backgrounds, no pictures. But it's simple, laid out in an easy to read format, and concise.

>>49581606
Maybe. I'll try trimming it down to a better size first.

>>49581640
It would be a shame to do that after asking for help from the IRC with making a background for each spec, but cutting down on pictures is doable.

>>49581790
Well, perhaps you should have checked to see how large it would have been before adding pictures or a background to it. Then if there was space you could change it. Besides, if you put them all in one PDF and changed the background for every spec that would increase the size as well.

Well, The Magical girls vary in styles and elements. We have the main lead that portrays the traditional/ideal magical girl. While most of the others break off into different motifs , like Witch girl, Ninja, Nun, Demi-dragon. Etc. Patrolling different sections of the city and making sure not to step into other magical girl territories. Also they have a "Incognito" ability, so no one remembers them clearly or doesn't pick up on Camera's. Overall, it's worth looking into, At least for some inspiration.

QB is not a weapon for debate on any side. QB is not the be-all-end-all for discussions, nor an authority on anything that isn't the CYOA itself.

Stop acting like saying "QB did/said X" is a get out of jail free card for having an actual argument. Think for yourself or shut up.

THAT is why the thread is dead. This place has become a decaying husk due to copious shitposting driving off or infuriating most of the community. It's not because somebody fucked up the OP (intentionally or otherwise), it's not because shitpost-kun hasn't been banned, it's not because of the Discord, it's not because of "AMGCunts", it's not because of "IRC mods being faggots", not because of DSD, not because of Flamy, not because of Tactical Meguca, or any of that other crap that gets said to scapegoat the actual problem.

Either say something of value or don't say anything. If nobody has anything of value to say then obviously we're done here. Pack it up. Thread's over. Go home.

And stop replying to yourself. At this point there's only 3 people that give a shit about what you have to say. 2 of them are chronic bait-biters (both of whom have been kicking the habit), and the last is one of the people you're shitposting about. Nobody else cares what you have to say.

For someone with the Hammerspace power, the Hammerspace Handbag perk is completely redundant and should be rerolled, correct?

What about the Big Backpack perk? Is Hammerspace already filled with everything in existance and one just has to luck into finding the right thing, or does each girl have to fill her own instance of Hammerspace with useful things beforehand?

>>49624629
Hammerspace Handbag can still be useful, since you can share the handbag with your friends and can't share your Hammerspace power.

In most cases, Hammerspace Handbag starts empty. The wording of the perk itself says you only get a handbag, not stuff inside it, which would imply that you have to get stuff to put in it. The Big Backpack perk is handy for girls that want to stay on the go or find themselves wandering a lot, or can't be assed to figure out how to find a home/family/income.

>>49624685
Hammerspace power rolled with Hammerbag and backpack is pretty redundant you must admit.

>>49625247
If you roll all 3 you should probably change at least one of them, yeah. Most likely handbag, since Backpack at least provides a bunch of utility.

>>49627476

Thanks, got it.

>>49596936

>>49628002
I dunno, doesn't the monster girl pdf give the rules for it?

>>49628252
Not really. If you are a specific Specialization (fire, light, reinforce, and relevant oddballs) then you can purify. I don't recall there being anything saying that you can't if you're corrupted.

>>49628310
If they have purify abilities and they're corrupt, they should have that flipped to corruption abilities. Simple as that.

>>49628340
Disagree. I think all corrupted characters should have a generic corrupting ability unrelated to their spec, because fluffing corrupted light or reinforcement seems... wonky... and I have trouble envisioning the thematic relationship.

>>49622692
Yep. Unfortunately, people who don't read or care about the OP continue to aid this shameless person by bumping the thread.

>>49628390
As in they specialize in the corruption ability. Each of them should have a generic, absolutely.

Corrupt light is corruption that hides its true nature. Corrupt reinforcement is just curses.

>>49628557
But curses are specifically Shadow magic .
I'm wary of the overlap, and my preference would be to prevent opportunities to muddle magic specs. The generic ability would get away from all that and still do what its meant to do.

>>49629262
Sure, then let's called it cursed enhancements. Think of your classic D&D cursed weapons.

Shadow shouldn't cover every last type of curse, otherwise it overlaps with corruption itself.

Alright, so where's the list of costs of stuff like perks and powers for post-character generation?

File: ~.jpg (132KB, 539x744px) Image search: [Google]

132KB, 539x744px

>>49635748
CYOA: None, it's a writing prompt.
AMGC: None, no progression system.
SCS: In the pdf. No buying new perks or powers, but does have upgrading powers and weapons and outfits.

>>49635555
In AMGC, yes.
In SCS I believe the artifact can knock a few corruption points off, but not fully purify.
Unsure about MGX.

>>49636400
The CYOA does have coin conversion costs actually, but I don't recall what they are.

>>49637365
I remember it's 20 bronze or 1 silver for +1 stat, but for gold I can't remember if it's +2 or +3 (not that I'd waste a gold coin like that anyway). And powers cost 1 gold 2 silver each and a second weapon costs more silvers than that. That's all I remember.

A list would be really useful, even if it's just a guideline.

>>49637872
They're not in the PDF. QB's said what they are a couple of times. The SCS tries to keep close to them but skews things for the sake of balance.

>>49628390
Alternatively, you could go the opposite route and say that specific specializations are better suited for Corruption, just like there are specific specializations suited to Purification. Darkness is an obvious choice here, and Illusion is as well. You'd want one more choice and to have a blanket "relevant Oddballs" to balance it out. Maybe Fire is just as good at corrupting as it is at purifying, keeping with traditional Fire themes of power being only as good at the person wielding it.

Both should be accessible regardless of your spec, though. If I recall, AMGC makes purification available regardless, but makes Fire/Light/Reinf. better at it and capable of forcibly purifying somebody. If you're not a DMG or have the Dark Sider MonG perk, though, you can't spread corruption, which is probably for the best because AMGC's version of corruption spreading is basically forcing Black Coin Lites onto people.

>>49635555
In AMGC, technically the answer is "Yes", since the only qualification is that the target be willing. As somebody else mentioned previously there's nothing saying a MonG can't purify to begin with, though.
In the SCS, it's left up to the GM. A DMG or Corrupted Monster Girl can reduce their CP values to 0 with a Purification Artifact, but the purification rules state that they have to be reduced to 0 with a Purification Attack. Since corrupted beings can't deliver a Purification Attack, they can't technically purify anything, let alone themselves. A friendly (or less-than-friendly) uncorrupted magical girl can follow up and complete the purification process from there, or your GM could rule that reducing everything to 0 with the intent to purify yourself counts enough.
Also: Checked.

>>49638115
With AMGC you can't purify unless you're one of the Purification specs or have a Purification artifact. AMGC Beacon can't even purify the unwilling.

>>49638115
What would your ruling on SCS purification be in a persistent setting without a GM? Should the player be allowed to determine it for themself?

>>49638586
Generally the SCS says that you should try to rule on the side of caution if you aren't in moderated play. Since there's a notable loss of power between DMGs/CMonGs and their non-corrupted counterparts, generally I don't think there'd be a problem with self-purification, at least not from a balance perspective.

If a GM has a problem with it (for some reason), then they can choose to just spam Corruption Attacks at the former DMG/CMonG until they get re-corrupted. Note that this is classified as a Dick Move because any time somebody purified themselves it's almost entirely narrative-driven and rarely mechanically-driven.

>>49641613
Welcome to AMGC lol

>>49637318
let me put down the main framework before we talk about corruption ;v;

>>49641613
AMGC started with white coin which Quasar translated into the Beacon. WC was corruption with a shinier look. Basically it never was updated properly so the lore and mechanics dont match up right. like EVERYTHING else in Core.
Heres looking at you Patrons.

It takes time for community-driven projects to shift gears and adapt, because you have to convince everyone (or almost everyone) to make the change.

Don't be too harsh.

>>49643323
In most community-driven projects, it's a good idea to have a leader make proposals that people then tweak, rather than vision being driven by consensus.

>>49641613
Pretty sure purifying is not the one thing Beacon wants to do. Dark magical and monster girls aren't even the biggest problem.

>>49646374

-switch around a stat point for both in costume and out of costume from one stat to another
-extra stat point for in costume only
-extra stat point for both in costume and out of costume

Here's the AMGC version of a Zodiac-based Oddball, with some notes that might help convert it for SCS. Stat Requirements not included because frankly if you're using an Oddball you should qualify for the entire spell list.

>Crabclaw Embrace - Cost 2/7 - Until your next turn, if an Ally(s) (but not you) would suffer a status condition due to a foe's spell/ability, apply that condition(s) to the foe instead.
>Purging Strike - Cost 9 - Attack a foe (Fatal). Cure that Target of all buffs/debuffs/conditions, and deal an extra 1/2d4 damage for each buff/debuff/condition removed by this effect.
>Refreshing Rain - Cost 3 - All allies recover 2 Wound.
>Straight Charge - Cost 9 - Closes in and deals heavy STR-based damage (Fatal) to a Target. If this is the first action you perform in a combat, reduce the cost to 1.
>Prideful Roar - Cost 10 - Allies penetrate an extra 3 Soak / 10 DEF until your next turn.
>Free Shot - Cost 12 - Perform an AGI-based attack (Press) against a foe, and then immediately take a movement action.
>Bull Guard - Cost 2/4/6 - Protects up to 3 combatants (based on cost paid, and HAS to include yourself) until your next turn, reducing damage taken and preventing status conditions.
>Sort & Sync - Cost 5 - Declare Wounds/HP, STR, AGI, VIT, MAG, or LUK. Until your next turn, all of your allies have the same value as you do in that declared stat.
>Rebound - Cost 8 - You can only cast this spell on an opponent's turn, and only if you took no action on your previous turn. Immediately end that foe's turn and Attack them (Press), using a flat 3 successes instead of rolling your normal Attack value.
>Double Passe - Cost 3 - Until your next turn, you cannot defend, but on your next turn you cannot be defended against.
>Balancing Stroke - Cost 15 - KO combatants until all sides of the current encounter have the same number of combatants not KO'd.
>Clear Mind - Cost 4 - Removes status conditions from the Target, and restores a small amount of Wounds/HP.

>>49654898
Side note: These do not include specific values in most cases. These are mostly conceptual notes. I'm sure somebody better-versed in AMGC could come up with appropriate specific values.

Also, Ophicius wasn't necessarily ignored, but I frankly forgot it. There's another symbol that also fell out of use if I recall, and I didn't design a spell for that one, either.

See if you can figure out which sign corresponds to which spell!

>>49654948
If you're going to mention Ophuchus, then Cetus too.

>>49655072
Well, 12 spells is already a lot more than most other specs will likely ever get, except for high-MAG users in AMGC and Empaths in the SCS.

14 would definitely be in the department of "doing too much".

>Power Wish - (Active) - 3 LUK - Target a combatant. That target gains 1d6 in a stat you declare.

CYOA Beacon doesn't have purification powers either.

>>49635748
Anon from >>49637872 is mostly right. 20 Bronze to stat up +1, Silver for +1 or Gold for +3. Take the magic in the coins for yourself, this is self applicable.

To buy a Perk, you're looking at 2-3 Silver or 100-150 bronze, and you have to find the guy who makes artifacts, enhances weapons/outfits, sells Interdimensional Apartments, or what have you.

To buy a new Weapon, or acquire a new Power, you're looking at multiple Gold and/or an epic quest.

Theme commentary as requested, FD:

>Weapon Tree:
I'd change Excessive Flame to Excessive Flare. Breaks up the overemphasis on flames, and also is an amusing pun. Flare Round is... not really like a flare. Call it Ember Shot or Cinder Mark. Power Overwhelming isn't necessarily a bad name... but it just makes me think of Starcraft every time I read it. I suggest Backdraft - which is fire themed but also suggests backlash.

>Offensive Tree:
Fireball, Fireball, Firestorm, Firesweep. The names are very samey.

Omega Fireball is cute, but I believe in differentiating names. Not sure what to call this one though. Firebomb, maybe - keep the Fire prefix and differentiate by using bomb to denote greater area of effect. Firestorm could be swapped to Wildfire. Fire Sweep to Burning or Flaming Sweep.

>Utility Tree:
FLAME ON is possibly the goofiest name in this document. Call it Flame Jet or Plasma Jet.

Fire Branded is running into the 'too many things are called 'Fire-something' issue. Arsonist's Mark, or Phoenix Mark or something to pull it away from that.

>Special Tree
Agonizing Strike has an unclear line: "If you... roll at least two 1 roll." I think this is supposed to say "If you roll at leas two 1's." Demonic Fire is fine. I'd be tempted to call it Flame of Udun or Dark Flame as a reference, just to axe another 'fire' name.

>>49657812
Looks like certain perks (eg. Closure, Fated) are straight out unbuyable. Unless there's someone they can be bought from?

>multiple Gold
Wasn't it 1 gold and multiple silvers?

>>49657812
Can you ever buy a second specialization of magic? Without using a black coin.

>>49657982
IIRC he said before it's only possible with that.

>>49657982
This was actually one of the first things I asked about when I joined the community!

The answer then was more or less "No, that's broken." I don't think the answer's changed since then.

>>49657865
>Unless there's someone they can be bought from?
Closure - find someone or something that can manipulate Fate.
Fated - get your fortune told by someone legit.

>Wasn't it 1 gold and multiple silvers?
It was, IIRC. I didn't feel like looking it up though, so 'multiple gold' covers it.

>>49657982
Without using a Black Coin? Sure. Be a non-Mint monstergirl. Buy a second spec after character creation without using the Black Coin? No. You could change your spec - shift from being Magical Princess Fire to Magical Priness Stone. But you can't get another.

>>49658369
Alright, thanks for the clarification.

>>49658369
Could you ever spend coins on gaining additional patron benefits somehow?

As currently constituted in the IRC, the Beacon pushes these priorities:
1. To fight monsters, including horrors
2. To help mahous live righteous lives
3. To help mahous live happy lives
4. To help people in general
5. To fight or purify monster girls and DMGs

Corruption opens doors.

Doors one would never find as a simple Magical Girl.

>>49660567
Why on Earth would I care about a Beacon that neither I nor anybody else plays? IRC Beacon is the only one that matters.

>>49660567

Those would be different concepts as CYOA would be for lore purposes and whatever the IRC one is would be for RP purposes.

CYOA=/=IRC RP

>>49661000
There are plenty of doors that can be open, but you have no business going through them. Let alone should you do so.

AMGC Beacon is literally the same as the CYOA Beacon. The only changes are for game play's sake, if I'm recalling this correctly.

The Beacon is The Beacon. People decide to put their own personal spin on it regardless, however.

Rolled 14, 17, 14, 8, 17, 3, 12, 4, 10, 19, 6, 5 = 129 (12d20)

>>49662279
It is the same, but details have grown beyond the original idea. Reading the CYOA doc doesn't tell you everything about Beacon in the IRC, which is to be expected. I hope that the Beacon will continue to develop until lots of details have been filled in and ideas expanded, and naturally at that point it will resemble the original a bit less. But the core idea will be the same, just grown and perhaps slightly evolved to meet the needs of the RP.

>>49663124
Perhaps a faction document for the irc would be prudent. Then again, other patrons have no supported options, so perhaps not.

>>49664275
There is such a document and some progress towards others. There are many issues to be resolved and this thread which shills the SCS is not worth discussing them in.

>>49665685
Nothing gets done if you waste time trying to get every soldier'a uniform perfectly buttoned, Ulysses S. Grant. Now is usually the best time to start.

So what are the IRC's factions like? How do they differ from the source material, and why? Are these differences for the better per do they fizzle the concepts behind them enough to make them barely recognizable anymore?

>>49665685
And 6 months ago you would've said it was AMGC getting "shilled".

The fact of the matter is that the IRC is far from the only place the CYOA or even AMGC are played, even if it was the first main place to play with either.

The sooner shitposting stops on this matter the better.

AMGC did force itself to the thread with much more fanfare. Iirc there were even plans by the old guard to make it the thread OP which... yeah... fuck that. It's annoying AMGC became what it did instead of staying a supplement. It should never have overwritten CYOA lore.

>>49668961

I'm with this, actually. Agreed.

>>49668961
How do we fix this, then? For both AMGC and SCS.

>>49670583
SCS doesn't contradict the CYOA lore and has everything from the CYOA adapted to the system.
For AMGC, it'd be easier to start from scratch. Get rid of the supplements, Corruption, Beacon, and the rest and focus on creating cohesive lore.
I expect that would be impossible to get everyone on the irc on board with, though. Unfortunate as the case may be the AMGCore lore set a precedent for many character concepts beyond what mechanics reflect. Asking someone to stop playing a lore breaking character does... not seem to work. Even the IRC mods are guilty of this.
Tl;dr AMGC lore is broken and can't be fixed

>>49670303
>>49668961
Saying lore is too broad what are you even talking about specifically?
If its about some patrons you do realize black coin and beacon were both prototyped in the irc right?
If anything QB fucked up in adapting it

>>49670583
AMGC's lore and concepts have become something else over time, shaped by the community, both past and present. However, it is no longer something that can be considered the same as the lore that the CYOA uses. Similar, but not congruent, much like the SCS and AMGC.

This isn't a problem. There is nothing to fix in the direct sense.

What IS a problem is that some AMGC players have gotten up in arms about proposed lore that contradicts their own ideas for the lore. This isn't a problem with AMGC itself, but with some of its players. AMGC players forget that, as a community-driven game that has ALREADY split off from the CYOA by and large, they are completely capable of simply ignoring any CYOA lore changes they don't like.

It'd be like if a game was on PC and Console, but something got nerfed in the Console version, and then PC gamers complained about the nerf as if it impacted them at all. Quit bitching about things that don't affect you.

>>49670911
A better analogy would probably be people on a Private Server for an MMO getting up in arms about a change to the original game.

>>49670980
Sure, I mean, if you specifically *want* to make that implication.

>>49670911
There IS a problem in that the irc is inaccessible to anyone new to the thread thanks to AMGC lore AND mechanics being such a far cry from the original. There's no way you can port a CYOA character into AMGC, and you're shit out of luck if you want your character to be compliant in both.

>>49670911
Unfortunately converting CYOA characters seems to still be a thing that people want. And like it or not, the CYOA is the first post and thus the anchor to the broader community.

>>49672355
How is that unfortunate? Offering support for CYOA characters SHOULD be the main purpose of any secondary system.

>>49671748
I do, actually! Private Servers at their core are just a different interpretation of the game, or a more accessible format. From a design perspective there's absolutely nothing wrong with them. Only bean counters give a shit because it likely cuts into their bottom line.

>>49672230
No. AMGC as a system isn't as intrinsically tied to its lore as you seem to think it is. I can run a game in AMGC without knowing a lick about the IRC's version of the lore, and the game won't be any better or worse without it.

I mean, shit, I don't know anything about the lore and I adapted an update to the game's mechanics, one that has held up against some of the most scrutinizing gazes the community has to offer.

The Lore only means what the player and their GM wants it to. The community has every ability to have a number of interpretations of the lore, but some people are against that because it might "make things harder".

>>49670734
The SCS contradicts the CYOA lore in a number of places, even if it is primarily just the word of that lore as opposed to the feeling. The lead designer of the SCS very much buys into the "many interpretations" perspective on the lore.

Drawbacks:

The Stellas are twin souls contained within a little gem in a golden egg. If someone looked into their abstract world, they would look like faint balls of light with black tails that coil around each other. The two girls people actually see are the 3D shadows they project off each other. Projection comes so naturally to them that they can also cast shadows off their shadows. The same magical link the Stellas use to push their shadows onto the world also lets the world push light onto them. They can't understand the input from the 2D shadows directly, but that data can be translated by merging into their 3D forms.

Consisting of almost pure shadow, the Stellas are understandably weak to light. However, their special connection makes them particularly vulnerable; a direct beam of sunlight can blind their souls from each other. They depend so strongly on each other that thinking they are alone causes their minds to collapse. Their phobia is so strong that it extend to icons of the sun and they would abandon a projection rather than have it pressed upon them.

A Stella looks like a pale doll with very simple features wrapped in a black ribbon. Doubling as both weapon and outfit, it moves and shapes itself at a whim. Simple motions and forms come naturally enough, but complex ones require real focus from the twins. It's also an effective vehicle for curses and their numbers lets them weaken a foe over several touches..

I was told to come insult you or something but you seem to be fairly accurate in most of what you're saying.

>>49672633
>told to come insult you or something
Tell that person to come shitpost for themselves if they want it in the thread that badly.
Oh wait. It would be too obvious they're samefagging that way. My bad.

So. People that aren't here for that. How do you envision the Beacon and Ebon Mint in active lore?

>>49672785
I usually envision them as the SMT Law VS Chaos. Beacon are the Lawfags and the Mint are the Chaosfags. Both want the world to be how they want it and both extremes, while powerful, are, well, extreme.

I imagine Beacon like knights templar/paladins of the magical world. They do and promote good, but on the whole their version of 'good' is very stringent. If you don't fit into their version of good, best hope they don't find reason to fit you into their version of evil...

Ebon Mint I imagine like a magical crime syndicate for the most part. Maybe there's an ideology behind them, maybe members even think they believe it above anything else, but when it really comes down to it, the Mint's goal and purpose is power. Money, connections, magic - it doesn't matter what. Consolidate more of what gives you leverage over anyone and everyone else. The Mint is just an organization system that facilitates this.

Reminder that neither AMGC nor SCS allows you to buy extra stats, powers or perks, even though QB explicitly said it's possible.

>>49673099
Read the GM's guide for v1.6. But if you're shitposting I don't expect you to be informed of basically anything.

Just HANDING people new stats was considered a balance problem for a long time, and it still is, but the current Augments are a step towards that and also solve the Spell Anchoring problem.

No. You won't get to buy into new powers and perks during SCS play. Convince a GM to let you do that. It will NEVER be an inherent mechanic.

>>49673219
Because it discourages new players

>>49673048
Because they're open-ended RP games, not fiction. Open up progression too much on things like that and you end up with shit like the game from Edgardo, where the old timers can freely shit all over newcomers, thus discouraging new players from even trying.

I wrote out the rough progression guide for people GMing individual games or people writing fiction. I largely agree with AMGC's no progression and SCS's limited progression stances because they're what works for a fluid online RP community.

>>49672828
Shit, missed this one.

In terms of D&D alignments, Beacon and Mint as I've written them are both Lawfags. Mint is more Lawful Evil - the villains that make contracts and want society functioning, but under their rule. Horrors would be your Chaotic Evil villains.

You should be compensated for putting up with GMd sessions. So what if older players would have more power? That's realistic. A experienced meguca is a strong meguca.

If every RPG out there had to be realistic for the sake of being realistic, we'd not be having much fun.
Sure, it's realistic, but with a community as dense and tightly knit as this one, it's going to end up like a long-running Vampire LARP where five players have tens of times more powers than the new ones, and are tied into the metaplot on a level that means new players cannot constructively interact with them.
