oh look, I made a thing

We should have linked into the Last Hero and got those magic gems.

They were probably awesome soul stars.

Link system was never up (I never placed a Link Center). It would have been kinda fun but likely overall too much fiddly management.

I will eventually put one of these in my games, as an homage to you.

Are we going to get a "Did You Catch It?", by any chance? Also, how much of a plot was this originally going to have?

[freeformschooler]

no

[Elephant Parade]

no

There was no plot? Okay, then.

[Empiricist]

no

It's Bay12, you don't write plots, you let the players faff about until the resulting eldritch of mass of chaos and insanity spontaneously congeals into a plot.

Nonsense! It would have been a joyous gate of overpowered rings and entirely too large spiders for all involved.

Surely there couldn't be that much fiddly management involved in mauling Ciro with giant spiders?

Know what I just realized?

In the entire thread, I'm not sure we've ever considered the possible significance of Proxxy's name, which is a misspelling of "proxy."

Spoiler: Definition and Theorycrafting (click to show/hide)

proxy
ˈprɒksi/
noun
noun: proxy

    1.
    the authority to represent someone else, especially in voting. <--- Hmm.
    "Britons overseas may register to vote by proxy"
    synonyms:   deputy, representative, substitute, delegate, agent, surrogate, stand-in, attorney, ambassador, emissary, go-between, envoy; More <--- Looking at many of these definitions, maybe her joining us/not trying to kill us is meant to happen?
    rarefactor, procurator
    "any member is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him"
        a person authorized to act on behalf of another. <--- This is probably the important one.
        plural noun: proxies
        a document authorizing a person to vote on another's behalf.
    2.
    a figure that can be used to represent the value of something in a calculation. <--- Dunno what this could mean.
    "the use of a US wealth measure as a proxy for the true worldwide measure"

Is it theorycrafting when it's not trying to answer an existing question? Whatever. Point is, though Proxxy's name could just come from the last definition (a mathematical term, which kinda fits with her theme) I think it may have more significance.

I thought that the term "Proxy" was some kind of a computer term?

Or maybe I'm thinking of proximity mines from video games...

It is a computer term, in a sense. A proxy is, as the definition EP posted says, a go-between, which just happens to be exactly what a proxy server does.

She's being used as a go-between, sorta. Isn't her title The Servant? Either way, if I remember correctly she was receiving orders from the others, and was sort of the "first layer of defense" kind of like a proxy is the first thing before the computer.

A non-update-update: at the very wise suggestion of IronyOwl, I am going to be running soon a short testing forum game. Since having a variety of battle systems is important to Warrens (and me), this game will involve two teams of combatants fighting against each other using a combat system they build. Sounds confusing, but it'll hopefully let me know, very quickly, which parts of which systems are too managerial, too visual, and too unbalanced before implementing them in any actual game.

Also this allows me to avoid actually updating anything else which is always a plus.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Sounds awesome.

Neat new avatar, by the way.
