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

GoalsFind the keycard stations.
Current SoundtrackDynamo CoreActionsRW: 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 WHYDerek: 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!Genealogically Consanguineous Spider

Interrogation Room 7E-365 (Deck M3): You were all shackled to chairs in here when you woke up. The door has been dropkicked off its hinges. There's circuitry on the walls, a row of monitors, and a row of 5 chairs.
FANTASY TURN:The quest for
The Keystone has begun.

*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!
