Silvan Haven Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 wew, plot. I've been gone for a couple days. Did I miss something?Ghosthands finally started posting somewhat regularly with Echelon. Which means about a 500% boost to the plots speed of movement. 3 "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless. I am their sword and their shield.

Considering he's an arc villain, it would slow down the plot (not to mention decrease his status) if Ghost had to play out every potential encounter with a challenger. That's not to say he's invincible--it's to say that you should be smart when planning to take down major villains.

That's not to say he's invincible--it's to say that you should be smart when planning to take down major villains. Cutscene power versus actual gameplay is the best way to sum this up. In an actual combat engagement, Echelon is bound by most of the same rules as other characters. In an instance like this, where the action undertaken is not for combat or similar reasons and staying put would actively slow down the plot, some bending of the rules is permissible for a staff character. Also, it's generally considered bad form to use magnetism powers directly against people, even if they aren't immune like rahkshi are. But yes, importance of the plot trumps niceties. This is a nonfactor. Affecting people directly has been a stock tool of Echelon's Dark Magnetism since the day it was introduced. 1 On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Silvan Haven Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Since I realized that least one person in the Rahkshi hunter group is not in the Skype group and I can't remember if there are any others I'm posting this here. In the interest of not wasting more time doing what amounts to a whole lot of nothing in Ta-koro we are going to perform another timeskip. Either right to Kini or until after we have all the stuff we need and are ready to move out. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless. I am their sword and their shield.

SnowyAegis Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Speaking of the plot, what will happen to the RPG when it does eventually reach the end of the story? Will it just end? Will it be allowed to continue under the steam of the playerbase? Will it be restarted? What? 1 My profiles Read my Epic:Tales of Aoris Nui!Profile pic by Soulemn on DA!

Keeper of Kraata Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm pretty sure the BZPRPG isn't going to end anytime soon; the GMs are hardly running out of plot.

Ghosthands Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Individual stories and staff teams may come and go, but the BZPRPG itself will exist as long as there are people who want to play it. The current arc will soon (touch wood) be over, but the plot will continue, bringing with it new locations and new adventures. Unrelated: as of today my winter exams are finished, so I'll be getting more involved with the game once more. As Mel said, tying up the Mangai Quest is high on my list.

Silvan Haven Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Okay, now I'm interested. What was the Santun War? *bunkers down*It happened in the original incarnation of the BZPRPG, which is seen as the good old days, the bad old old days, or somewhere in between depending on who you ask. In that incarnation the Great Beings were six deities, each one based off of a certain primordial element. The Great Being of Chaos made an entire species of beings constructed purely out of her personal element. They were called the Santun. Some stuff happened and they eventually went wild, traveling from universe to universe and spreading so much chaos that the places would collapse around them. Eventually they found the bubble of reality in which the original BZPRPG resided and attacked. The ensuing conflict was known as the Santun War and ended with a sentient black hole fighting the leader of the Santun, who was actually an extremely powerful being made by one of the other Great Beings. He had just eaten/absorbed the interuniversal ship that the Santun used to travel. Back then there was no real limits to how powerful you could make your character and people tended to pick up even more ablities as they went along. Even Echelon would be high-middle tier at best. As you can guess it was pretty crazy, the Great Beings had to shunt everybody into a pocket dimension while they repaired the place when it was over. 6 "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless.
