I endorse interruptions once all players have posted. That way, the turn post isn't a double post!

...Wait. DAMNIT SOMEBODY POST QUICK

[EmeraldWind]

Whoa... I just wrote this:

No Fourth Wall: Turn 116. Kyle (META PC) during the FANTASY turn, asks the GM (THE REAL GM: GATLEOS) what he should do next in the FANTASY turn. Kyle also comments on Gatleos's sprite being higher res than everyone else's which causes Gatleos to leave, thus not finishing HEN's (Kyle's FANTASY alter-ego) turn. HEN complains and Kyle tells him to shut it.

As I wrote this (and several others), I realized... it is hard keeping track of which characters coincide with each other and to which player they may apply. And with all the characters (PC and otherwise) maybe the Tropes page needs a character sheet... I'd say place the PCs in separate sub-sections underneath their REAL world (not META world) players as I feel that sooner or later the REAL players (aka You Nutcases) might somehow make appearances as character within all this and I'd like to be prepared. This includes Gatleos, as he has already made an appearance as a character. Just to keep things straight. What do you guys think?

Complexity Addiction: Gatleos... and we all love him for it.

I dedicate this trope in horror of creativity above and beyond the call of sanity to GM Gatleos. May the hair on your toes never fall out. Cheers!

Character page: MADE! Nothing on there... yet.

Also put in a section for the deceased. Like Paulie. Anyone remember Paulie?

[EmeraldWind]

I started a template under Derm Hell-binder. Though I stopped at three tropes, couldn't think of a good personal quote, and not sure how to get the image working, but I wanted to see if the format I posted in was good or not.

Although, I was thinking it would be cool if the players choose the character defining quotes themselves.

Edit: Went through and added basic profile in the same template to each of the FANTASY world PCs.

[Dermonster]

I can't really think of one at the moment.

All I really want is to throw around atomic grade explosions whilst riding upon my army of creatures that would drive Lovecraft to drink. Heavily.

His ghost possessed me a while back- we may have forgotten Paulie, but the GM hasn't.

Two things. One: this. Two: the concept of a tabletop rpg campaign that provides the players with the ability to screw around with a stable time loop and talk to past and/or future versions of themselves is starting to give me a headache.

**********~
Turn 117
**********~

META TURN:

Storage ho?

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Dynamo Core

Actions

RW: Backflip out of harms way.
MC: Be the spider. Shoot the web.

(...) You backflip out of the way just as something huge drops from the ceiling above you!
(...) MC fires an enormous barrage out of his back-mounted web cannon! In fact, he shoots all of it out at once, propelling him violently into the wall! He begins rapidly twitching and sparking!

RW: Anticipate time travel.

(...) You anticipate it. It is good. Your stupor is abruptly interrupted by a loud bang, and you look up to see a huge mass of webbing flying toward you! (...) You jump out of the way, but the webbing traps your legs and pins you to the wall!

Meta: Eavs-drop on the voices in the wall.

(...) You listen to the faint voices coming through the curious point of light on the wall.

_{So THAT'S why Monk wears that hat all the time.
...
Poor HEN, died on turn 127. Could have saved himself if only he'd known that-}

BOOOOOOORIIIIINNNNNG. You quickly get distracted by nothing in particular, turning your back on the shiny spot. Suddenly, you hear a loud bang and see something huge descending from the ceiling in the center of the room!

Meta: Prepare to stab the first hostile thing that comes within reach.  Anticipate attack from the ceiling.

(...) You ready your dagger, preparing for- WEB (...) You vault over the pedestal and avoid the flying mass of web!

Meta: Destroy the ceiling

(...) With a mighty wail, you tear a massive hole in the ceiling! The sharp metal ceiling tiles shower the room!

NO MONK WHY
Derek: You leap into the air and surf on a flying metal tile while riffing on your guitar! The tile comes to rest on top of one of the shelves.
Frederick: You manage to get out of the way of the rain of metal tiles, but not before one tears a wide gash in your chest!
Monk: You create a telekinetic shield around yourself, blocking the tiles falling from above!
Kyle: You dive underneath one of the shelves, shielding yourself from the torrent of sharp metal tiles!
John: You catch one of the metal tiles in your mouth and use it to cut yourself free of the webbing!
MC: Struggling with a malfunction, MC is unable to dodge a falling tile. The tile slices one of his legs off!
Cleanz0r: You left him outside! Jerks.

The glowing spot on the wall begins to spark and widen, and a massive robotic spider lands in the center of the room!

Actions

FW: Throw obscene amounts of summoning magic at Edgar.

(...)

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"

*Poof*



"That's... okay, I guess."

FW: Help monk!

(...) You crawl away from HEN and roll down the stairs to the entrance hall, but can't make it to Edgar before your turn arbitrarily ends.

Fantasy:Get Urist off of me.

(...) You push Urist off of yourself and watch him roll down the stairs. Well, that's done. Suddenly, a key descends from above and lands in your mouth! You accidentally swallow it!

Fantasy: Go find other chests with random items.

(...) You set off to find more chests, and- WHOOP you dropped the key! It falls off the tower and through the hole made by Derm's water spell!

Fantasy: Harness the influx of summoning magic to create living peg-legs

(...) You absorb some of the residual summoning energy passing through your new leg and redirect it at the peg-leg (log) laying on the floor. It immediately jumps into the air and starts bouncing around, making cute little cheeping noises! Awwwwwww. Your response is to butcher it alive with your harpoon until it's in the shape you need, then absorb it into your own nervous system by jamming it into your remaining leg stump. Much better!

RW: Attempt to communicate.

Edit:  That is damn fine music.

[HighEndNoob]

Meta: Break through the shiny wall and demand they tell me what they know.
Fantasy: Get the key, and head to Monk.

[_DivideByZero_]

RW: Shoot the spider in such a fashion that it is knocked into the shiny wall.
FW: Head deeper into the ruin.

[monk12]

Just to be clear, this boss is covered in webbing, right? Right?

Meta: IGNITE THE WEB

Fantasy: Head inside and down

[Frelock]

Meta: Patch this damn cut up.  Tweak the odds.

Fantasy: Dive after the key!  Sigh and begin to descend, trying to keep near the hole derm created.

[RedWarrior0]

Hm... Someone has the thing for an epic death, correct? And there's something in there about heads exploding? And there's someone with a brittle skull, lending itself to breaksplosions?

Just curious.

[Dermonster]

Stop it with the death and stuff.

Or at least direct it away from me.

Especially direct it away from me.

*Wonders if should have killed Edgar in sacrifice to dark gods.*
