>Velbers

THEY have lore? The fuck's their damage? What even ARE they? Is Archimedes like Elizabeth in that he's taken over by their bullshit cells, like Attila in being their drone or just helping them for shits and giggles? As far as I can tell they're invading the Earth because fuck you, that's why. At least Notes gave the reason of Gaia issuing a distress call/death curse.

The Velbers just come across like they're doing a bad Anti-Spiral cosplay, now with 200% more alien waifs.

>>51054666

Is this a Horrorterror speaking?

Anyway, that's what Seers and the Ring of Void are for.

Jumpers, what was your lewdest jump?

>>51054697
I don't quite know who Kiara is but from what I remember being told she wiped out Earth just to charge a super attack.

What planet is the Velber a TYPE of?

Jumpers!

Tell me your tales of despair and heart-break.

>>51054897
Each of the Velbers had a full page with the character data book that came with Extella. I just read the translation notes from Beast's Lair when people talked about it on IRC before because it seemed interesting. The Velbers as far as humanity knows are basically the Beta from Muv Luv, except they're all TYPEs, or superior to TYPEs. They're not invading Earth because fuck you, they're invading Earth because they're like garbage disposal and periodically go about doing this with civilizations. Archimedes I think wasn't even a proper servant at all, just an Anticell that took up the powers of an Automaton. Not entirely sure about that one.

>>51054915
No one knows, but it took the Harvest Star like fourteen thousand years to get to Earth so presumably it's a planet very far away.

>>51054911
Hellsing. Did you know that attempting to become a True Vampire (the Alucard sort) requires you to be a virgin? Otherwise, you'll turn into a ghoul.
Needless to say, once my jumper was successfully turned, he spent some time taking advantage of no longer have to protect his maidenhood.

Is Fate Akasha its own dimension? Can I reach it with perks that enable travel to adjoining "realms"?

>>51054957
>>51054957
>they're invading Earth because they're like garbage disposal and periodically go about doing this with civilizations

...how the hell is this different from "fuck you"?

>>51055003
It's a lot less personal?

>>51055022
But I meant "fuck you" in the sense of "they're doing it for nonexistant, arbitrary reasons that aren't developed and serve no meaningful purpose"

So, what kind of shit at minimum do I need to survive Fate's Class War? Would the strength to move aircraft carriers, EX-rank God-hand, durability to survive nukes, immunity to magic and instant death effects, and speed enough to see bullets as standing still be a good start?

>>51054982
The Akasha, or Swirl of the Root, or Void, or whatever, in fate technically includes all nasuverse realities, it's both the source of all things, and the repository of all things. Theoretically though you should be able to go there with the right perks, but it's not a "good idea", usually it causes people to basically breakdown into nothing. Basically though it is just outside of reality, it's not necessarily that hard to get to, it's just really difficult if you are restricted to the magic system of the nasuverse.

>>51055003
They don't have that concept? "Fuck You" is what the Ars Goetia were doing to humanity in Grand Order, the Velber are just following programming from something. Even the Anticell are apparently just trying to break Mooncell because they're programmed to do so for their call home signal.

>>51055043
Seems like a very good start.

>>51054957
Where can I find this lore?

>>51053687
>>51050317 Is me. Just got back from sleeping.
>>51053708 Is another anon, but summarizes my thoughts.

The headset can't kill you in Sword Art (The game, not the jump.) Unless you take A Game Not Meant To Be Played. Every other danger is mundane. It should be Tier 0.

>super vampires
The scope and depth of my knowledge related to Twilight is limited to memes. I'd expect most endgame RPG parties to trash them based on in game feats compared to your description. This is without getting into D&D and BBS, which I would place above most RPGs.

>>51055064
See >>51055037, that's what I actually meant-they're just a bullshit plot device made up to give Servants something to point at and go "oh noes, she's too stronk"

At least one TYPE had way, way more personality than this.

>>51055081
Beast's Lair? Somebody on IRC put a link to there when they were discussing it.

>>51055043
Well, if you've got all that, I assume you have other things to supplement it. Honestly, that should be enough to compete with most Servants except Gilgamesh probably, whose main "flaw" is that he's relatively unskilled and weak for all his BS.

>>51055118
It's a pretty big flaw desu, means all he can do is lob most of them at you rather than actually use their special abilities.

>Is this a Horrorterror speaking?
Huh. How appropriate.

>Anyway, that's what Seers and the Ring of Void are for.
Fair enough. A Seer of Light can do it as in canon (though that still requires the "grace of the gods"), but I'm not sure how you the Ring of Void would help you?

Hm, a Seer of Void could probably also navigate there. Maybe one of Hope, Time, or Space could try it too, but those don't really seem geared for it?

>>51055102
Ironically Extella has a lot more plot development to it with the character books than Notes, it's just that Nasu literally can't describe the Fate Covenant without digging himself into a ridiculous hole. This is a civilization that has developed interstellar travel, possibly superluminal travel, is implied to be controlling the growth of many different species including humans, and can create TYPE-like beings. There's literally no way humanity can fight against this. Not even GO reaches the implied power levels that this anonymous civilization has. iirc even the ending of Extella implied that Earth was basically SOL, and it was just a matter of time. In really reminds me of Halo, except humanity here is a lot more concentrated than the UNSC, and the Covenant already know where Earth is, they just haven't gotten a return call from the Glassing Fleet.

>>51055135
Yeah, but Class War gets rid of that flaw, because now he has stats and skills of probably several knight classes.

>>51055173
>but I'm not sure how you the Ring of Void would help you?
Wasn't that how Lord English did it?

Aside being a Heir of Void.

>>51055043
That's kind of overkill for just surviving. The vast majority of the servants can't even harm you, and you are way too fast for any servant that doesn't have EX ranked Agility or some speed boosting NP.

>>51055233
Nah, he used the Ring (and timetravel) to do his Always Already There thing. So basically just the appearing/disappearing trick, most likely with the Ring's invisibility.

I believe he navigated the Furthest Ring by being a insanely stubborn asshole and stringing together a ridiculous number of small timetravelling "hops" across very short distances, to move in something like a straight line despite that normally being impossible there? Would have to check that again to be sure though.

>>51055368
That is so bullshit but a Page of Time could do that right?

>>51055368
What was the range on Atomic Density Manipulation, again? Line of sight?

>>51055083
The headset can't kill you unless you take the drawback? What happens if you die in-game?

>>51055409
No, it can. With the headset, it's just guaranteed to kill you, regardless of your defenses and immunities.

>>51055043
Okay, first off, you enter the jump a year before the jump starts. So, step one is going to be preventing the Eizenberns from summoning berserker Heracles.

You can do this by fucking with them, or by summoning one yourself. Now, they'll probably try to summon something strong anyways, but it won't have God Hand, which is great.

Step two is going to be blowing up Kotomine's church. Specifically, the basement. Bluntly put, there's a bunch of almost dead oprhans down there that Gil uses as a battery. Now, killing them won't kill him, but it will make him much weaker. Independent action, even one as high as his, isn't meant for full scale combat without a secondary energy source.

Two and a half, make sure Kotomine is in the church when it blows up. He's a pain in the ass, who can only be happy by making others suffer. Just, kill him.

There's more, but those are the big one's.

>>51055043
You're massively over-hyping them.

All you really need is a decent physical enhancement perk (Leaky Limiter + Fighting Spirit from Mushoku Tensei is a good choice) and a few solid anti-magic perks (Empty Night and GotTI) to completely shit on all of them. Pick up Ragna Blade from Slayers and their defenses completely cease to mean anything. At this point you're so powerful that it's practically impossible, barring unbelievably specific Noble Phantasms, for them to beat you even if they all fought you at once. Pick up a few Extra Life powers/items and you're basically invincible.

>>51055425
They regenerate mana as if they're living, so that church thing won't help much.

>>51055368

It seemed to me that he wasn't just talking about vanishing but also apoearing where he wanted.

I feel as if a great light has been shown to me. One I did not notice before.
And it was always my destiny to reach for it.
Yes. Thankyou, friend anonymous.

It was always going to be this way.

>>51055476
Thats not the point. The point is to cut down on Gil's energy supply. They might regenerate, yeah, but it still means he has less.

>>51055420
Is this a creator ruling?

Or am I just bad at reading comprehension?

>>51055409
If you die in game without the drawback, the headset will probably still try to cook your brain, but if you have defenses against that, you should be fine.

>>51055397
Maybe? Lord is kind of fucking bullshit as a Class, but in this instance it seems to be more a matter of being stubborn enough to go through the effort of constantly making all these countless little jumps for however long you need to travel.

Remember, it looks like he moves smoothly when travelling by Sarcophagus. So each of those little bits of timetravle would move you forward almost imperceptibly.

>>51055404
Normally it's 10 meters, but it can be longer for easy/well-practised things. Or shorter for complex things.

>>51055511
And yet he needs his sarcophagus to travel through the Furthest Realm.

So I'm guessing the vanishing and appearing just means going invisible and intangible whenever he wants. That'd still let him appear in places he has no business fucking with.

Mind you, that's just my guess.

>>51055622
Mardukth, in your opinion what would the likely consequences of a Devil-Tiger who used the Third Magic on himself be?

Also, what kind of fun things could you do with the First using the Artful Temple?

>>51055622
>Maybe? Lord is kind of fucking bullshit as a Class, but in this instance it seems to be more a matter of being stubborn enough to go through the effort of constantly making all these countless little jumps for however long you need to travel.

So basically you need boredom immunity and a lot of don't go made from subjective time things? Either that or just be THAT stubborn of an ass? Not asking bout the other defenses he has, for he's kinda bullshit because of all that, just what was needed to evac a Void session.

>>51055622
>And yet he needs his sarcophagus to travel through the Furthest Realm.

Yeah, the coat is for travelling, the void to navigate it.

That's what I understood anyway. They don't really talk too much about the rings anyway.

Can the Fire Emblem Fates options "Loving Companion" and "Fated Companion" be taken multiple times?

>>51055622
Can it get... quite a bit longer with easier/more-practiced patterns?

>>51055855
Get that subatomic telekinesis combo from teen titans, with a lot of learning pekrs it should be able to do the same, and at far greater range.

>>51055881
Pretty sure that's only molecular level?

Would it be possible to use the power provided by Dimension Lord from DC Occult to increase the size of the relevant dimension via magic?

>>51056077
>With enough practice you'll be able to
manipulate matter down to the microscopic scale.

Alright, my bad. Probably wanked it a bit too much. Although, "microscopic scale" is not exactly narrowly defined.

>>51056138
I'm gonna say no.

Though if you have done type of magic from another jump that could expand a dimension, I don't see why you couldn't use the Dimension's power to fuel that magic.

In Practical Guide to Evil, does acting villainous as a hero or vice-versa prevent you from using your name powers?

>>51056199
Damn, was going to have the expansion of the realm as part of my story there. Ah well, thanks for answering.

>>51056225
Depends on the name and how far out of that name's comfort zone you're acting.
Sparing a Hero as the Squire of the Black Knight will hurt your power a lot.

>>51056225
Yup.

So, in the new fate jump, is there anything that wish granting could do, assuming nigh-infinite mana, that I wouldn't be able to do with the first magic`?

>>51055652
>Mardukth, in your opinion what would the likely consequences of a Devil-Tiger who used the Third Magic on himself be?
From the description in the jump, it seem like they'd work fine together? Seems to be much like Yozi-Body Unity in allowing you to be immaterial or material as you please? Though your immaterial soul body might be very shiny, with an Exaltation attached to it.

Not really sure how the perpetual motion machine soul thing works, so I can't say anything on that...

So yeah, sorry... I know next to nothing about Fate, so I'm not sure what to say about it?

>Also, what kind of fun things could you do with the First using the Artful Temple?
Probably the same things as you could with the First in other places, except not limited by things like: "Is this thing I want to make even possible?"

>>51055679
Pretty much, yeah.

>>51055745
But he doesn't really need to navigate like others do? The whole advantage of his method is that it allows straight-line travel.

>>51055855
Well, there's no upper limit on range really. It'd just take a lot of practise to increase the range to more significant distances.

>>51055793
Yes.

Who are you going to choose?

>>51056256
Make Matter from nothing.

It also said it could actually create people( a small army) to fight for you, which I think is not an actual ability that Illya or other wish craft users possess.

>>51056251
>>51056241
Would ambiguous names be immune to this or are they obliged to stay grey?

>>51056348
Unclear from the canon. Judging from Ranger it seems like if you're ambiguous you can do whatever the fuck you want?

>>51056333
Thanks for answer, but I meant the opposite. What I wanna know is if it is worth it for me to buy wish granting when I already have the first magic, and an arbitrarily large amount of training with it.

>>51056348
Ambiguous names can do whatever they want, however you'd have to pass on the Hero's bullshit learning ability to stay Ambiguous and I don't think either of the sides in that setting like an Ambiguous named running around, so there's that trade off.

>>51056376
>you'd have to pass on the Hero's bullshit learning ability
Ranger canonically has Learn, and so do most transitionary Names, iirc.
Jumpmaker said they'd be making changes as more info is released, as well.

>>51056366
No, The true magics are pretty much superior to anything that most of the modern magicraft users have come up with. I suppose it depends on what your trying to accomplish with it.

>>51056366
Yes, because you can brute-force any magic system to do whatever is possible in said system. The First Magic is its own thing, and is not necessarily able to do what every magic in the chain can.

>>51056412
You have only 3 Aspects, do you really want to trade one of them off for LEARN?

>>51056434
Never mind, this anon >>51056456 has explained it a bit better.

I have a crazy idea.

Cosmic Fact in the Marvel jump was ruled to make you an official Marvel hero in any universe where Marvel Comics is published. I checked desuarchive to be sure.

But does this apply to other Marvel universes as well? If I take Cosmic Fact and then go to the MCU, will I meet an alternate version of myself?

What do you think would happen if I imported a DC character into Marvel and had them take Cosmic Fact?

You'd get weird stuff like an MCU Superman movie in worlds like reality or Kryptonians in other Marvel universes.

>>51056657
Why can't you be the waifu, anon?

>>51056657
>>51056296

*keep the parents there, not my active companions of Soleil, Ophelia, and freebie Dwyer.

>>51056670
>You'd get weird stuff like an MCU Superman movie in worlds like reality or Kryptonians in other Marvel universes.
what?

>>51056671
Because threesomes, that's why.

>>51056689

Cosmic Fact makes you a canon Marvel hero in any world where Marvel Comics is published.

So for example, if I imported a companion that was originally from a DC setting into the Marvel Comics jump and had them take Cosmic Fact, that would make them an official Marvel hero as well.

Meaning that in any real world setting after that like for example Generic Videogame Developer, if I were to look up Marvel heroes that DC character would be listed as one of them.

The example I gave was Superman.

>>51056742
That example would probably work, but I don't think the others would, as I'm pretty sure the perk only affects you rather than the rest of the world (barring your status as a comic-book character).

>>51056657
Gross.

Is Enhanced Mastery from Worm actually a learning booster, or is it more knowledge absorption/collection? The former should help you learn faster, to include spells, concepts, and martial techniques-specific things, as well as the theory behind them. It seems more like the latter, though, as it inexplicably pulls knowledge from nowhere to bring you up to par with the (subjective) experts of a certain field, and then dramatically slows down.

>>51056769

So no meeting AU counterparts of myself in any Marvel setting after taking Cosmic Fact?

Noob questions (sorry).

In WoD-MtA, I can level my Gnosis and learn more Arcana in Jump, right? Whatever I purchase with CP is just for the start of the Jump?

Also, equipment that can be bought with CP, can that be bought/found/crafted in the jumps or if I don't buy it with CP is it forever out of my reach?

>>51056868
Likely not, unfortunately.

>>51056859
It's a learning booster. The slow down is because of inherent diminishing returns in the process of learning things, not any limit of the power. WormAnon addressed this just the other day, go back in the threads a bit and I'm sure you can find it.

>>51056883
There's a cap at Gnosis 5 for Archmage reasons.
No, but buying it makes it so it reappears in your warehouse if broken, unless it's money.

>>51056901

Eh, it was worth a shot.

I like perks that affect other setting besides the jump that the perk originates from.

>>51054318
So is it a valid jump? Or is it like the joke jumps/supplements in that it can't actually be used?

>>51057079
It's on the drive, it's valid. Someone in the thread with a four inch splinter embedded right in their asshole complaining at you doesn't change that. Just don't try to game it.

>>51057079
Feel free to use it. It's not actually THAT powerful. More useful.

>>51057079
>joke jumps can't actually be used?
b-but my build for Salt jump...?

>>51057079
It's a bit like Lost Odyssey: It offers stuff at a way higher level than what's in the setting, but it's not exactly chain-breaking. It's not really much worse than our patented dick formula.

>>51056929
OK. First of all, tha ks for the answers.

So it says I start with 1 Gnosis and I can bump that, and learn some extra Arcana levels, at creation but I assume that the other mages, or through my own study, I can get these higher during the 10 years. That right?
The leveling chart makes sense if I can, otherwise why show up to a 10th Arcanum.

>>51057079
Any jump can be used, just some people here will ree at you if you try to have badwrongfun and use a jump they don't like.

>>51057180
>patented dick formula
?

>>51057199
The combination of several jumps with ship import options that also granted increases in size.
IIRC, if you start with the Asgerd you'd end up with a "ship" around the size of Neptune.

>>51056259
Hey Mardukth, can you get the non-reclamation Yozi to open their Charms up to you in other Exalted jumps. or does it have to be in the Infernals one?

>>51056859
It could work akin to a watered down version of Tattletale's power. You extrapolate advanced knowledge from lower level knowledge, allowing you to learn things without needing a tutor. You could learn anything simply by practicing it by yourself and don't require external assistance. I'd imagine that, unlike TT's power, your power can't go all Sherlock Holmes but that it grants you the ability to gain muscle memory at equal speed to become good at whatever you're doing. You can't make ridiculous leaps of logic like TT but you can instantly learn kung-fu and be good at it where she couldn't.

At higher levels it become harder to learn things because there's generally a limit on how good you can be at something. Once you reach the level of effective mastery, the level at which experts such as professors and professional athletes operate, it becomes difficult to increase beyond that level because you're hitting the point where there isn't much room left for improvement without the introduction of some new ability, model, or source of information.

At least that's how I fanwank it to work in my chain.

Build time!

Just search "Servant" on the drive. Should be the top result.

Though Valeria is planning to update it soon.

Remind me why Time players are necessary for a fertile session? Thought they only managed timelines (which isn't an issue if you have fate-breaking stuff) and have a Scratch Construct, which I think counts as a loss for you anyway.

Nothing Special [100, Free for Gentle Soul] - Whether or not it’s actually true, you may not see yourself as anything special or unique...and that’s okay. That just lets the talents and abilities of others shine all the brighter, doesn’t it? You’re good at keeping yourself humble and downplaying your own skills and powers without coming off as condescending, and instead of making others envy or despise any gap between you and them, you will encourage those around you to work harder towards their goals and see you as an inspiration. Maybe that gap will never close, but if you play your cards right, you may be able to help someone become even better at what they’re good at.

But what if the shitposter spoils it for all of us specifically to get at red?

So does the new Fate jump replace the old one? Or can you do both and get more cool powers?

>>51057867
That would require going outside and getting his mommy to drive him to the movies. Both unlikely.

>>51057708
Nice.

>>51057877
It replaces the old Fate Jump, no double dipping. If you need more Fate in your life then don't worry, you can go to Fate Extra.

>>51057937

Is there enough in the new movie for an update? Sure there is the ghost/flash step stuff, but im not sure how to incorporate it.

>>51057965
Without giving anything away, yes there is enough for an update.

The EveryJumper [200, Discount for Gentle Soul] - Perhaps there was no single event before now that truly defined you, and you were entirely self-motivated by the moment you first stood before a major crossroad in life. Maybe you’re just good at tapping into your roots as an ‘ordinary’ person. Or maybe you’re just that goshdarn adorable. Either way, you’re good at appearing as sort of an ‘Everygirl’ (or boy), someone who has no particular bias or ambition. This not only makes potential enemies prone to overlooking any threat you might hold, but you will find it a little easier to make friends and integrate yourself into new groups. This gets less effective on people who know you better as time goes on, but by then, you’re already friends or foes, right?

Stop Fighting! [200, Discount for Gentle Soul] - Well, it’d be trouble if the team mascot got hurt, right? What? I’m kidding. Whether it’s your demeanor or that you’re the moral center of the group, conflicts and interpersonal rivalries are a little less likely to explode into fights or betrayal among your allies. It won’t make the issues or the symptoms go away, but you will find it easier to diffuse and maybe even resolve conflicts so long as their differences aren’t completely irreconcilable. They just don’t want to disappoint you. You can even diffuse conflict between two opposing groups, so long as there’s still some chance at diplomacy...though you’ll need to actually get through to them to do more than just stall out a fight.

I'm looking to start a new chain with a few challenge rules to sort-of flatten the power growth curve- keep me sorta scrabbling for time and resources longer.

There's the typical no-magic/science/whatever rules and those have given me a few ideas, but I'm mostly looking for rules that aren't too fiddly so I don't have to struggle with a legal textbook of rules.

Carefully picking my jumps is honestly the best way I've come up with so far, but does anyone have any suggestions?

>>51058182
You'll have plenty of time. You have Dragonblooded, Sidereals, and arguably Mortals to do it.
That's 30 extra years. With more on the way.
Plus whatever years you spent in Hell if you took the 800 point drawback in Infernals.

Changelog: Minor tinkering (Archdemon lets you choose if the Demon in question suffers from Amensia or not) and the Notes got slightly expanded.

I... think this should be good. If there's anything I'm missing, need to fluff, or need to explain, please inform me.

>>51058348
Separate your jumps from your chain to a degree. You get to build whatever you want in each jump, but you only get one item and one perk from each jump to carry out of that jump.

>>51058153
While cute, you sure are making Madoka look like a nothing cutiepie. Heh

You think there can be a little bit of little miss badass there?~

>>51058371
So I'm kinda liking Dryad, but I'm wondering what they're like. They sound kinda like bastards, and I'm not sure about the slowdown effect either. How much slower would you move if you've got speed perks and the like? Also, would being a Dryad make you more susceptible to fire?

>>51058371
The Knowledge of the Infinite Order says that it gives us some basic information on their technology but nowhere does it say what those are beyond the workings of the gods and transcension fields.

Maybe you should add some examples of the kind of tech we can work with and such.

>>51058371
I was meaning to ask - just how would Challenge Rating 20 work post-jump? Would it force people to ignore/percieve as completely normal whatever you do?

>>51058430
Not too much slower, moving fast is just really tiring. So maybe, I dunno, 20% more energy to move?

>>51058445
What /you/ get to start with is the basic information on the Gods and Transcension fields. If you access their tech and reverse-engineer it, their demonstrated feats include AI's, biotech, spatial warping, multidimensional travel, accessing the soul, etc.

>>51058448
It's more like you'll be percieved as a natural disaster. If you kill someone, people will still run away, but it'll me more like how you run away from an incoming tsunami rather than how you run away from a guy with a gun, and legally speaking, they'll treat it as if the guy died of natural causes.

>>51058514

Does this come with some sort of toggleable filter? I'm wondering how weird that effect would be if you're trying to engage with and be nice to people. To say nothing of how hilarious and fucking weird smexy times would be.

>>51058419
Funny you should ask.

Small But Strong [400, Discount for Gentle Soul] - You may not seem like much - you may even appear to be a tiny mouse compared to the other Magical Girls who can have decades or even centuries of experience fighting Wraiths and more. But that’s their mistake...after all, being soft doesn’t mean being weak. You know the right times to be assertive or to take charge of a situation. More than that, you become a very quick learner when it comes to fighting, especially against a superior opponent. Even if you had an average magical ability at best, you could put up an excellent fight against three stronger Magical Girls or the strongest Wraith possible and maybe even win if you could stay alive long enough. This won’t let you win completely impossible battles, but in fights or conflicts with odds above zero? You just might stand a chance. Just don’t bite off more than you can chew.

Don’t Give Up! [400, Discount for Gentle Soul] - Despair is the ultimate enemy of Magical Girls in this world - use too much power or dive too deep, and you’ll vanish forever. And life is full of plenty of hardships already without having to put growing up into the equation. It’s a good thing you seem built to deal with that, right? You’re good at holding onto hope despite things like your friends dying or breaking down, and though you may still shed tears, it will take more than a cruel and cold universe to make you fall to despair. Your willpower is boosted greatly by this, and emotion-based magic is just a little stronger in your hands to show for it. Just be careful - holding onto hope can turn into insanity if you focus too much on the impossible. But if something is possible? You’ll only give up when you’re ready to give up.

>>51058554
Oh, that would be important, wouldn't it? I'll add an explicit toggle And the effect won't be too weird. It's based on the fact that in canon, the government has made a classification called 020.

Anyone in that classification is, legally speaking, not a person, and anything they do is a miracle/natural disaster/whatever. They can't be arrested, they can't be charged, the government has no authority over them. You get into that position by being so powerful that the government probably couldn't do that anyway, and by not being benign enough that trying to force the issue would definitely go horribly for them (Also, you need to be immortal, but whatever.).

So if you bang someone and they have a kid? Legally speaking, they just had a kid out of nowhere. Give someone a gift? Legally speaking, the gift came out of nowhere. Make a cool house to live in out of magic? Legally speaking, that building grew from the ground on its own, and is uninhabited.

>>51058604
Ah, not that's Madoka I remember and love.

...Wait.

>other Magical Girls who can have decades or even centuries of experience fighting Wraiths
The post-Madokami world's MGs have THAT much life expectation? Hm. Interesting. Did you happen to get that from somewhere?

No, not really. I just took into account that Magical Girls can potentially live a really long time if they survive, and I figure the post-reset system is the same sans Witches. That said, I'll change the line to avoid too much of a stretch in logic, since I don't think we meet anyone like that in canon.

It's been a while since I was into Exalted, but I seem to remember that Adorjan's daughters weren't always winds, didn't they use to be humanish before Adorjan turned them into death-winds? Do we know what they were exactly? Behemoths? Demons? Half-Castes?

I'm just wondering what I'm in for if I show bad enough judgment to take that drawback, and then show even worse judgment in the dreams.

>>51058644
>>51058662
Nice. So it's more a legal distinction than some sort of perceptual filter?

>>51058692
The daughter winds are behemoths, and technically always counted as that even when they looked human.

>>51058371
Are the 100 point items free or discounted for their backgrounds?

>>51058685
... That's a /really/ hard question to answer. On the one hand, there are people with clarktech so crazy they literally just built an afterlife, one empire once hit another hard enough to break spacetime, and there are people who are powerful enough that the government basically threw up it's hands and went "Fuck it, we're not even pretending we have any authority over you." On the other hand, those people who know how to use the clarktech are mostly dead, and most of the upper tier is perfectly aware that they can't get away with mass murder without the other upper tiers showing up to punch them in the face, so for the average person, it's basically the wild west era.

>>51058686
... WELL. THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW!

>>51058707
Yes. Should I clarify that in the perk?

>>51058720
Free.

>>51058689
Ah, I see. Alright.

I recommend a fic called "To the Stars". Paints a great picture of what MGs potential life expectancy can lead to. Not to mention the entire wish thing. Will make for a great jump some day.

>>51058371
In the notes, what's this about dimensional walls and an experiment?

>>51058735
>Yes. Should I clarify that in the perk?
Either in the text of the perk or in the notes, yes. Thanks for addressing these concernes, btw.

Was there a perk that let you change your name to whatever you wanted, and have everyone else in-setting call you by that name?

>>51058773
Skullduggery Pleasant

>>51058751
The whole planet is an experiment by a group of scientists from a clarktech civilization. Long story short, they turned themselves into gods, went mad with power, turned the place into a magical realm (in both the literal and the TG sense), then got shanked when their slaves went "fuck you".

>>51058766
Got it.

Um, any suggestions for how? Because I already have 'legally' written in the perk, like, twice, and I'm not really sure how to make that clearer.

Oh the Dryads are bastards all right, the kind of spoiled bastards that was raised in an environment in which they were never told no, the Goddess of Nature was not a good parent. Dryads tend to turn kind of wacky when they grow old, like "create the entire fairy race just so that they can love her when she got dumped by some random Adventurer" and "turn into a wild beast with no control over her actions" level wacky. Part of the character arcs of one of the protags is the Dryad coming to realize how messed up she is and strive to be a better person.

>>51058828
Pretty much, yeah, though it's a bit more specific in how it manifests.

And yes, I believe so. IIRC, a being of chaos showing us is basically considered a "Fuck it, we've lost this whole county" level threat because when they manifest, they just wipe out the nearby county as a side effect.

>>51058839
They can create races out of nothing? That's kinda awesome.

>Um, any suggestions for how? Because I already have 'legally' written in the perk, like, twice, and I'm not really sure how to make that clearer.

First, I'd just like to thank you for introducing me to this series. Just started reading it yesterday, but I'm enjoying it so far. Love a good fantasy western.

Couple of questions, though. Do dragons have breath weapons? And can you toggle off CR20?

>>51058980
If you get to them before their mom convinces them to turn into wind monsters. She gave them the choice. She and Marus actually had other daughters who decided to stay human and live as normal a life as they could when you're the child of a Solar Exalted and a Yozi. But once they turn into wind-monsters they're not really people anymore, kind of lose any traits not involved in being a ravening wind that grinds the world to dust. So, you know, don't let your waifu convince them that letting go of their humanity will bring them freedom.

>>51059154
Yes to both. I believe all dragons breath fire, but I'm not completely sure.

>>51059148
It's still cyberpunk senpai.
If you want settings with the technology of cyberpunk, but without the world being a terrible place, you should be looking for post-cyberpunk.

>>51059186
So are Dryads more adept at using Fey magic? I know they get it for free, but I'm trying to get a handle on what you could do as a Dryad with Fey magic right out of the gate.

>>51058791
Huh. So it's basically like Exalted?

>>51059197
I'll just have to multitask.

>>51059169
Wait, do the kids of Yozis have special abilities like God/Demonblooded?

>>51059233
Dryads actually tend to suck at it, they just have natural access. The protagonist Dryad is explicitely noted to be bad at it because she thinks that her native access will make it easy for her. Dragons are the ones whose native access actually makes it easy for them.

>>51059239
... I don't see the similarities?

>>51059294
A group of gods made a world to fuck around in, then got shanked by the slave race they created?

>>51059061
It's really, really good. The amount of sheer worldbuilding is staggering, on par with and probably more than Noir, which is why I was considering making the jump for quite a while. Still, an idea for much later, with many revelations incoming.

Hidden Power [600, Discount for Gentle Soul] - Kyubey was amazingly persistent in wanting to make a contract with you, and now you can see why. Your magical potential is much greater than the average Magical Girl, whether from winning the superpower lottery or some twist of fate. All magical abilities you have from this world or otherwise greatly increase in potency, and you will find both your Soul Gem and internal energies in your body will have much more energy available to burn for said magic. This is enough that you could potentially fight a swarm of the strongest Wraiths and live to tell the tale, and you will quickly become both admired and feared for this might. Imagine if all that potential went to waste, huh? Good thing you made a contract.

Becoming Hope [600, Discount for Gentle Soul] - It’s not just magical power that will change the world...it’s hope. And now, more than ever, you embody that hope. Your presence inspires others towards your cause, raising the morale of your friends just by arrival. You can find feasible third options in moral dilemmas that don’t compromise your own code or beliefs, you can make a functioning team out of people who were trying to kill each other not even days prior, and otherwise make a hopeless situation into something that can be overcome. More than that, those you sincerely and emotionally bond with will share your own willpower and resistances against despair or mind control, and even when you’re indisposed or absent, they will be inspired to fight or work towards whatever your true cause or goal ultimately was. Standing alone is a terrible thing - standing together can move the world.

Madoka tree is done, which means perks are halfway done. Taking a short break now.

>>51059312
Oh. Uh, I guess, sure? Did the Primordials actually fuck around with the mortals? From the little I heard, I got the impression they basically just built it to be a place to hang out while they played the Games of Divinity.

>>51059197

>>51058348
You start with 0 CP. Any points you want to take must be taken with Drawbacks. Drawbacks never go away, they just stop being fiat-powered. Lose an arm to a drawback, you need to find a way to get it back. Make an enemy in a Jump, and at some point they're going to appear in the new world, and follow you until dealt with one way or the other.

>>51060155
Hero could have either a Veteran magic girl to teach them (similar to Mami), or a newbie magic girl for them to teach (similar to Sayaka).

Rogue could have a fellow self serving Rouge magic girl that is strangely loyal to you for some reason.

If I remember correctly one of her daughter winds is actually pretty nice.

>>51060714
>Madoka is great
No, Madoka is shit, and anime was a mistake.

You know, I just thought of something. A Madoka Jumper is probably going to attract the attention of Homura herself, who would probably be protective of someone who reminds her so much of Madoka.

Also, since Wraiths are apparently based on a corrupted version of the tenants of Buddhism, would that make the Walpurgis equivalent the Buddha himself? I mean, not the actual Buddha, but a Wraith named after/inspired by him?

>>51060770
Homura is going to murder any jumper that sticks their head up and draws attention.

>>51060651
You will never escape
>>51060726
This is the reset universe. So, if you take a continuity drawback, your actions that didn't involve Witches or Madoka will carry over but nothing else will. Don't worry, she remembers you too and what you did if you met her.

If you ended up intervening on a cosmic scale, I'll let you decide how the new universe exists. Reason those two things are excluded is because the original timeloop is going to be a drawback/scenario. None of this is set in stone, so if yall wanna chime in on ways to handle it, go ahead and do so.

I also want to note that the canon events of Rebellion might be a +0 drawback, since it kinda falls under the 'did this REALLY need a sequel' category and will probably lead to unpleasant circumstances for Jumpers not prepared to deal with it. So you can opt out of that mess if you want.

>>51060789
She is certainly welcome to try.

>Also, since Wraiths are apparently based on a corrupted version of the tenants of Buddhism, would that make the Walpurgis equivalent the Buddha himself? I mean, not the actual Buddha, but a Wraith named after/inspired by him?
That would be cool. Maybe base it on Maitreya, the "Buddha of the End" who features in Buddhist eschatology as the last Buddha to arise, far in the future, and who will teach all humanity the pure dharma and usher about the end of the world through universal transcendence of karma. I think that would make a nice counterpart to Walpurgisnacht as an apocalyptic figure.

Mami's fight scenes are always pretty great.

>>51060996
It's about the assumption that everyone took Blazblu, and took the perk there that requires you to remain aware at all times or cease to exist.

>>51060968
Blazblue, it's the Drop In capstone. It does come with the risk of ceasing to exist if you stop observing yourself, though.

>>51060940
Sort of. Mami can only make matchlock guns, though she can make enormous cannons and smaller pistols that never existed in real gunsmithing. For rapid fire she needs to summon and banish dozens of them in rapid succession. It makes for some good fight choreography. Too bad we don't get to see much of it thanks to her dying in episode 3. PMMM is the show that proves the "give a series until episode 3 before you judge it" rule.

>>51061077
Yeah, but it was utter dreck that shifted drastically in tone, is my point. The Three Episode Rule isn't about quality, it's about giving the series time to establish its thesis.

>>51061052

The best part of her power is that she literally makes guns out of ribbons. How cool is that?

>>51061013
There are similar perks in Drakengard, Terminator and Narnia.

And probably in other jumps too.

>>51061086
Madoka beats it at least once before she goes Madokami, although she burns out all her magic and starts to go Witch before Homura mercy-kills her. So it can be defeated with what you get in-Jump, at least theoretically.

>>51061155
It can be both.

>>51060834
So what happens if you don't take the Rebellion drawback? The Incubators don't capture Homura? Madokami eventually takes her to her Magical Girl Heaven?

>>51061155
It's true, though. At least Exalted doesn't have anything of substance to actually hate.

I guess you could say, she made ribguns.

People generally don't like them for one since no one wants to end their chain, and there aren't a shit load of settings that can pose much challenge when people have the ability to prepare against most anything now.

>>51061215
Well, it's generally considered poor form to make a jump exclusively and endjump. People don't like the idea of jumps being limited like that, made something you can't go to without ending your chain. Not everyone feels this way, but enough of the people who do feel that way will be sufficiently vocal enough to argue it down. I personally don't care either way, it's been a long time since I've had the motivation to actually write out a chain.

That's pretty dumb actually, sempai.

Aaaaaand now we see the real reason Madoka was brought up today- to shit on old jumps.

Guns should be made of metal. Or the souls of your enemies forged into a metal.

>>51061215
Because there's been a recent influx of power-wankers who will REEEEE really hard when you "arbitrarily" limit them.

>>51061306
What? No, it's because Heavens is working on a jump. We wanted to know how far he was with it, and what content he posted was very well received. This argument isn't even about the old Madoka jump. What are you even talking about?

>Because cutting off content like that is a bullshit, Red-tier move.
It has come to my attention that I may actually be lacking in actions and decisions that are, as you say, cutting off content. For if it is supposed to be a me-tier move, then generally I should be doing more to encourage that line of thinking.

I don't want to disappoint you, anon. That's the last thing I want to do. Should I then go and make Black Crusade an end-jump? Or would a different action to maintain my reputation be preferable? It's got quite a bit of content though, and I need to do my job so that way you're not incorrect. Would that be sufficient to make you happy?

Honestly, it'd be better if every jump was an End-jump. God forbid jumpers have to actually make hard decisions~

>>51061215
Obvious baiting.

>>51061332
The guns actually are made of the souls of her enemies forged into metal, in the sense that the souls of dead witches are where meguca get the fuel for their powers from. She conjures them using magic, the ribbons are just a medium she uses to transfer the energy, or something. She twirls a ribbon around, and in the space defined by the inside of the twirl a gun forms. She doesn't have to do that, though. It's really just a style thing. She can also pull guns from out of her skirt, or from her hat, or just out of thin air. She uses the ribbons because it amuses her.

So, I don't know if you got round to watching it yet but on a scale of worth it to not worth it, how not worth it was it?

I think they're running out of ideas to give Selene challenges, so she just loses for plot reasons to a scrublord vampire and a roided up artificial were when she should be the most powerful being on the planet. Too bad they wrote themselves into a corner when every film she gets an upgrade. The irrelevant villainesss who stole her blood didn't get very far either

New guy whose name I forgot because I didn't watch the last movie seems more interesting than Michael at least, and Charles Dancepire's death was a total waste. Funny how from what little character direction she has in the series of glorified fetch quests Selene (not Kate Beckinsale, I mean the actual character) seems almost as sick of everything as I am

In a break from how I usually do things, here’s a genuine WIP. This will end up being my Kubo and the Two Strings jump. The final product will be imaged, but this is unimaged. I’m tossing this up here for discussion and to see if there are requests for clarification.

… We made it to the center of the earth after a rather bumpy ride. The metallic Mole machine actually survived the trip much to the surprise of many of my companions. We have found ourselves in some sort of underground tropical area. There seems to be several groups of primitive indigenous people here as well as… real dinosaurs.

We endeavored to create a base camp to begin the exploration our surroundings. Unfortunately Abner Parry the genius behind the metallic mole shaped death trap seems to be quite enamored with several of the surrounding flora and fauna and has been quite insistent that we gather certain specimens for him.

On one of these excursions I came upon a startling sight. A tattered flag with a swastika. Investigating the area further I found more signs of habitation until I stumbled upon a well-hidden base. It’s technology was beyond anything that should exist in this time period. I also sensed a great evil dwelling in the place.

Upon gathering further reconnaissance I learned they had in fact noticed our little base camp and were quite interested in acquiring our supplies and personnel for forced labor.

I enlisted the aid of several of my companions and together we raided the compound. To our surprise we found ourselves in a battle not only with beyond WWII era weaponry but also with dark magic as dead soldiers and slaves began to rise to attack us.

Sadly a certain member of my team reacted with his usual zeal and burned everything that wasn’t us to the ground. All that remained was a giant misshapen mass of a humanoid that moaned in agony as it mindlessly tried to destroy everything in it’s path. I could tell the creature was truly a vile being. Still normally I would hesitate to take it’s life but I sensed it’s entire existence had become one of agony. Together we put it out of it’s misery.

To clarify: in the SAO story, the headsets supplied to the game's customers have a (deliberate) design flaw that allows the game to fry a player's brain. When the game is officially launched, the developer rigs it to do exactly this both when players try to to log out and when they "die" in the game (normally they'd just wake up).

However, a Jumper can get as an Item (for free!) a Digital Projection Helmet that #1, doesn't have this flaw, #2, allows you to project your self/soul into VR games so that you're effectively "there" in full and can use all your powers.

And as a Jumper, even if you use the normal headset, you could theoretically survive with the right durability perks (the kill-flaw works by some combination of microwave radiation / EM field over-stimulation, it's not clear in the translations I have).

But if you take the A Game Not Meant To Be Played drawback, your physical perks don't apply in VR _and_ the game can kill you even with durability perks or the Jumper-grade helmet.

I'm not the jump-maker, but I was there for the threads and I hope that clears things up.

...Am I missing something because I don't know the setting? Because I have no idea what you're asking, looking at the perks.

Besides said beauty perks, what are some of the best perks for a nudist Jumper to take?

>>51061899
No. It's only Sword Art Online that was made by a psycopath who wanted to make some insane death game happen. Alfheim Online is run by a psycopath, too, but he's more interested in rape than murder. And all the other games are fine.

>>51061902
Fair enough, I will grant that. What I won't grant is how Kirito resurrects his avatar through force of will. It derezzes, he gets a "YOU HAVE DIED" message, and everything starts going dark to him. But then somehow his refusal to die makes it reappear in a flash of golden light to stab Kayaba in a complete anticlimax ending to the fight. The only thing I can figure is that Kayaba wanted that to happen because it would be a dramatic end to his roleplaying as a villain, so he programmed that in to Kirito's avatar for the fight. But then Kirito whiffed it just when the cool part was about to happen and Kayaba had to fake it.

Well, in the film there's more than one being from the moon so I was wondering if the perk would let you track your own kind as well as earthlings. Especially given how one of Kubo's animal guides turn out to be his mom, who used to also be from the moon

I can't wait for SAO Abridged to get to that part. Because I'm sure as hell not watching the actual anime.

>>51061957
I thought that was emergent behavior from the AI that runs the game, which is why Kayaba was satisfied with his death?

There's a perk in Rick and Morty that lets you act in socially inappropriate ways/look like a monster without causing a fuss.

>>51061957
>Kayaba wanted that to happen because it would be a dramatic
Exactly right, if you pay attention you can see that many deaths are "extended" in sufficiently dramatic moments to give the dying a chance to do something. . . dramatic. Such as reach their hand out to a loved one, express a last regret, or stab their killer. It happens several times in the series and knowing Kayaba it was probably an intentional part of the game's design.
