Kal the Guardian Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Alright, another week has passed. Thank you very much UN for adding your input. Based on the feedback we've received, the current plan is to do a timeskip of an indeterminate amount of time to give Sidra and Viltia the experience and physical and mental training required that only comes from repetition over time. This level of experience will allow them to be able to craft a Great Disc with each other's help in later posts. This timeskip won't happen immediately, but Nato and I will be looking for the appropriate moment to implement it. Thank you to everyone who helped us figure this out in the best way for the community as a whole. --------- Meanwhile in response to other things. You may love puzzles, UN, but they sure are hard for me to wrap my brain around when I can't actually see them. Also I wonder what will happen when it's nighttime by Sala, Nixie, and Sorilax. Since Sorilax learned a Taboo, will another star go out? Or maybe it already went out and no one could see it since it's daytime by them. 1 ----------------------------- --------- “BRUH” -Makuta, probably --------- ----------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have therefore decided to officially drop out of SKR. Thank you all for having me join you for a while, it was fun!

Unreliable Narrator Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Apologies to those waiting on a response from one of us GMs -- I have a lot of work ramping up right now (maybe you've heard of a little product called Zendikar Rising) and I am working on posts as quickly as I can between other obligations. I know things have slowed down to my inability to post, and I apologize for that. Thanks for continuing to play folks! I'm very excited about what's going on right now in game.

Kal the Guardian Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 We've done it, lads! I, uh, didn't exactly figure it out, but now I've completed one of UN's puzzles. I'm think the title of tier 3 or 4 genius is in order. Also it's very interesting that for Sidra when she first unlocked the Ice Suva, the Suva showed her the region of its range and she could "see" into it and the items within, whereas the Air Suva didn't show Nixie, Sala, or Sorilax anything and then listed off the items through mental speech. Maybe it'll happen when one of them tries to access the items? Maybe Sorilax being there as an Aspect causes the Suva to withhold certain parts of itself? Very exciting. Can't wait to finally run around again with Sorilax and maybe even get the Kraata Taboo. 2 ----------------------------- --------- “BRUH” -Makuta, probably --------- ----------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreliable Narrator Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Hey, @Nato the Traveler, @EmperorWhenua, and @Crimson Jester It looks like some of you are either trying to access the Ice Suva or are getting out of its range. Please make sure your character profiles accurately reflect what items you have taken from the suva. At this time, my notes indicate the following items in the Ice Suva: Mask of X-Ray Vision, maker Forgemaster Dume, powers of X-Ray vision Electro-Chute Blade, maker unknown, powers of electricity (see Sidra's Character Profile?) If these items are incorrect, please reply here in OOC so we can make sure the suva stays up to date. I admit with working picking up I wasn't keeping detailed track like I'd been earlier in the game. IMPORTANT: please remember, moving into a different region will remove your character's connection to the suva. These rules seem kind of vague, so I'm happy to let anything up to this point stay as without change. How does a suva range of approximately 3 hexes feel moving forward? You will want your characters to return to the suva to pray and reconnect (no need to solve a puzzle, just visit and pray) in order to restore the suva's benefits. PS: hey everyone keep your eyes out for a 6 months survey. Edited September 29, 2020 by Unreliable Narrator Happy chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nato G Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Yep, that checks out with what I had in Sidra's profile. I was aware that going to the swamps would put me well and truly out of the Suva's range. Good to know there's a way to reconnect with it. 1 Embers - a new Bionicle Epic - Teaser Class Is Out - A Farewell To Corpus Rahkshi - Chapters/Review BZPRPG Characters - Minnorak, Kain, T'harrak, Savis, Vazaria, Lash BZPRPG Mercenary Group - The Outsiders - Description - History - Base Ghosts Of Bara Magna - Ash Tribe - Precipere - Kehla, Somok, Skrall, Gayle, Avinus, Zha'ar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal the Guardian Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Regarding Suva functions, can a player pull out and put in items themselves, or does a player need a GM to respond to any action they take? @Unreliable Narrator @Vezok's Friend 1 ----------------------------- --------- “BRUH” -Makuta, probably --------- ----------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal the Guardian Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Does a Suva function solely through swapping, or can you put in and take out items regardless of having an equivalent item to take its place? @Unreliable Narrator @Vezok's Friend ----------------------------- --------- “BRUH” -Makuta, probably --------- ----------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreliable Narrator Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 See below for rules on suva usage, including the updated range of 3 hexes for clarity. Suva: A registered user of a suva may withdraw an item from a suva using their mind by depositing an equivalent item (mask for mask, etc.) from their person in a suva while within a suva’s regional range of 3 hexes on the world map. A registered user is aware of the contents within the suva at all times while within range. More than one user may be registered with a suva. A user may be registered with only a single suva, and it should be noted on their character profile. Registering with a different suva temple ends any ongoing suva registrations elsewhere.

Kal the Guardian Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 So you're saying the Air Suva will only ever have three items in it?

Unreliable Narrator Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 You know what, that does seem weird. Let's change the rules so it feels better. Suva: A registered user of a suva may withdraw an item from a suva using their mind by depositing an equivalent item (mask for mask, etc.) from their person in a suva while within a suva’s regional range of 3 hexes on the world map. A registered user of a suva may add an item to a suva without having to withdraw something of equal type. A registered user is aware of the contents within the suva at all times while within range. More than one user may be registered with a suva. A user may be registered with only a single suva, and it should be noted on their character profile. Registering with a different suva temple ends any ongoing suva registrations elsewhere. Happy chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal the Guardian Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Now what I'm hoping is that there's a Suva at Kini Nui that can draw from your main Suva so you can then make a golden mask by placing six masks on a statue. Kind of like how the Toa Mata got their own golden masks, except this time you can choose any six Masks and the statue makes the mask through merging instead of being straight from Artakha. That's just a hope, though, but also a reason I want Viltia to learn how to make masks so I can try it out and see if there's anything to my idea.

Does any weapon/tool swap for any other weapon/tool, or do they need to be similar? Case in point, Sidra swapped a powered sword (her electro-chute blade) for a powered sword (Kopaka's blade), but if she wanted to get her original blade back at some point in the future (assuming it's still there) could she just exchange it for something like her dagger, or would it need to be something more advanced?

Unreliable Narrator Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 I'd saw an equivalent item is more to do with the wording of the item and general common sense. In example, a mask for a sword is a no. A spear for a dagger is a no. Mask for mask -- sure! Use your best judgement. Happy chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnmad Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Quote unless Morangad has a connection to shadow through shadow blight or being the desecrated follower of an aspect he's unable to receive the taboo. I can't remember if he's desecrated or not... He is not, nor does he care to be (at this point in time). As a player, I'm sad to miss the opportunity to get evil powers, but it just wouldn't be right for Morangad's character right now. And Providence has some opportunities ahead of him to learn a Taboo still, anyhow. 1 Avatar by Brickeens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreliable Narrator Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Kraata and Infected masks have been added to the rules with the discovery of their taboo in the ruins of Air. I've also revealed a few more ascension perks so those with aspects have ideas of what to be looking forward to in the future. Please note the rahkshi taboo is undergoing a final revision after some very good feedback from @Kal the Guardian regarding contradictions in the taboo.

Unreliable Narrator Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 BIG NEWS Vezok's Friend and I have both put our heads together and agreed a third GM is needed. In fact, it's been something we've considered for a while. We've made our choice, and we've considered everyone's feedback on the subject from the last survey. Please join us in welcoming Eyru to the team. We're excited to have him along for the ride. He'll be jumping into the hot seat for a little while as he gets up to speed in GMing duties, and then he'll be just like Vezok's Friend and myself within a week or two. I'm excited to have a third GM working on puzzle design... especially with SK3 right around the corner. SURVEY Hey folks! It's way past the time for a new survey. Click the link, do the thing, get hype for survey season!! We're going to leave this survey open for a few days like usual to allow folks to get some time to respond. Hopefully this won't be as much of an absolute UNIT as the mid-game survey. Love you all <3 4 Happy chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
