Just to clarify before I write any posts, who is going to stakeout early and who is meeting ariadne, and who is just stalking her at the time? To note, you know the road she lives on but not in which building.

Grim is going with Damien to stakeout early to the best of my knowledge

Yeah, Damien and Grim are going ahead of the others. Damien will use the extra time to scout for any shady figures lurking or making repeated passes through the area. Doing his best to study and learn about them from a distance if he does notice any.

I think Liana said she might join you, but for now I'll write just what two of you see, then anyone else who joins you can be included in the secret text or spoilerbutton, whichever I end up using
EDIT: Can confirm I misread CatCanCook's post, so for now I'll assume just Damien and Grim go to stakeout, and the others are going for Ariadne. Last edited by Lentil Sponge; Dec 12th, 2022 at 10:32 PM. |

So, there's something I do want to ask that I probably should've asked earlier. Are there any themes or concepts that people are really uncomfortable with and/or just do not want in their role-playing?
This isn't going to be relevant for quite a while, but one of the NPCs (and it isn't Ariadne so don't worry about ruining any of my recent plans if that's a factor for you) has a backstory that is... well, to put it lightly, ****ing grim as ****. I think their backstory being so dark does add a lot insofar as it makes the villain of their story all the more monstrous and ties into plots I have in mind for further down the road, and is also, in my opinion, justified by the narrative purpose. But to warn you... well, And I don't want to drop anyone into stuff they aren't comfortable with. Plus, before any more fighting comes, another warning... I love blood and guts. I was raised on Riki-Oh, Mortal Kombat and Peter Jackson, I love heads popping off and spines being torn out and good ol' fashioned curbstompings and that bit in that one Robocop fan remake where a dude's junk is blown off and you see the actual penis turn into a cloud of red jelly. It's beautiful... for me, and gross for a lot of other people. So I thought I'd ask about stuff now, with enough advance warning that I can change anything people just don't want in their games. I can dial back on sex, crime, gore and any other themes that you either are triggered by or just think are gross. Now, I will keep stuff fairly implicit even if you're fine with it. Even though you all work in a brothel, some of your characters have done a sex and I try to keep it at either dumb eye-rolling innuendo or just a tasteful cutaway. I'm not going X-rated even if you would like that (that is strictly for private messages) This is a game where crime, sex and violence will be a fact of life and all that entails, but it is also a game. We're here to have fun or tell a story which may or may not be fun, not get traumatised. So feel free to say or PM with a list of do not wants and/or "please warn me before xyz" |

Personally, my comfort level is drawn where my fellow players’ are. I don’t really have a line as far as dark goes if it’s for good narrative purposes. I think that dark elements can add compelling layers to characters and really help to highlight the high points even more. Now, as far as how graphic it actually gets, anything that would make me uncomfortable would go against the rules of RPGX to post anyway, so that’s not really a concern of mine either.
TLDR: As long as the others are cool with it, go nuts.

My character literally takes a penalty for not attacking incapacitated/dying foes. You don't have to treat me with kid gloves at all.

So Liana was going on the Ariadne mission. As posted:
Quote:
-- A mechanics / gear question: Liana salvaged what she could from Kasturr's crossbow, and Grim purportedly has some ability to mend broken things. Can they get her upgraded to a masterwork light crossbow? Via some combination of scavenged pieces, Grim's abilities and/or cash? Fishing for a path to a +1.
