The Overseer Project [Homestuck]
« on: February 02, 2014, 02:34:43 pm »

So apparently there's some sort of text-based Homestuck RPG kerjigger that's been clogging up the MSPA thread for the last 10 pages. In an attempt to let it die with dignity until the Ultimate Update, I thought I'd create a thread here to contain it. I've never played it but it sounds pretty rad.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Sure, I guess. I'm not bothered by that at all.

Cool, we actually have a thread outside of the Homestuck thread.

If anyone needs any type of grist, contact me.   The session I'm now in now has every type.

Anyone got 200000 spare uranium?  Need it for an upgrade, and I would rather not have to spend a few hundred more strifes trying to build up my stock enough.

Found a better weapon, but it requires 400000 more tar than I have, so that would be better.

Kansa: Just in case you missed my message in game, I need you to spawn a capchalogue card for me. Forgot to clone the first one, now I can't alchemy.

This sorta sounds interestings. I think it's like a homestuck rpg? Which is cool. But there seems to be very little information that I can find on the game itself on it's own website. Could anyone like. Give a run down on what the game actually is?

A very abstract SBURB session intended as a tool to aid roleplay (iirc). There's some text adventure segments and such (to simulate the neater parts of SBURB), but it's mostly just fighting and grinding.

I thought I already had, it says I can't spawn another one for you so you must have a blank one somewhere.

It's  a text based homestuck RPG. It essentially emulates Sburb, at least as much as it can right now. You get to make your sprite and land, and pick the consorts of your land and so on. It's really interesting, and they plan on adding more features later. It's really fun with a good group of people, though the alchemy is somewhat frustrating at the moment. If you can't find a group here, they have a forum specifically for finding sessions. If you're confused how to start, the wiki or FAQ should help you. There's also some features and enemies that aren't in canon, such as dungeons.
That seems to be all I have to say, I guess.

There are only like, two non-canon enemies though. The golem and construct.

So, on a different note, how many fraymotifs do you all have? I have 3.
