These two chapters were pretty fucking long...
Perhaps the most obnoxious thing about Nether Rituals was the fact that there was a cooldown on their use. Especially because his ritual had imploded on him, Randidly sensed as he tried to start it again that it was a very bad idea to attempt another rit...

Alright, let's start some tops spinning.
BOOOOOOOM!
The ground cracked and shuddered as Randidly thrust with his bone spear, spurring the surrounding space to wildly gesticulate as the Nether in Randidly’s attack destabilized the surrounding area. Space seemed to shiver in pain from th...
2019-08-13 04:57:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody,
I've talked with you all individually, but I just want to put up a post for everyone who got accepted to the first games to let me know which of the following two times they are available for.
If everybody comments, the first session will likely be next weekend, and then alternate weekends between the two groups. So!
Friday 7 PM EDT
Saturday 12 PM EDT
Sunday 2 PM EDT
Thanks! I'm going to start working on scenario stuff this week an...

Randidly scowled at Salazar and threw up his hands. “I can’t tell you how to feel it. You either do or you don’t. And if you can’t manage to find the core of your star inside yourself, then I’m not going to waste time trying to train you.”

The walk toward Commander Terith’s camp was illuminating. Probably one-fourth of her own camp was lightly damaged, but Terith had clearly borne the brunt of the fallout from the bombardment. Entire swaths of the previously pristine rows of tents had been razed to the ground. Wounded sat in huddles around fires, ...

Randidly carefully considered the mysterious absence of Vualla from every angle. Originally, he had just vaguely thought that perhaps Vualla was also still recovering somewhat, but as that idea was exposed to the light of day it clearly disintegrated into nothing. There had to be another reason.
As Randidly...

After his careful examination, Randidly decided that there were three specific areas where a little bit of attention would result in quite a bit of effect to his overall image: his arms, his skin, and his tails.
Of the three, skin seemed the easiest to use as the starting point. In addition, it would ...

That violent thought echoed through his mind once, then twice, while Randidly was suffused with the raw emotion of the impulse. Then Randidly felt a rather shocked horror at the sudden vehemence of his thoughts. But even though he felt rather alarmed at the instinct, the desire to kill Iellaya didn't fade.

Anyway, I'll roll up my sleeves and put out four tomorrow and friday to make up for it.
2019-08-08 03:23:33 +0000 UTC View PostToday will be this week's break day.
Plus I wanted the chance to try and tighten the next arc. This is probably the halfway point of the Great Rift arc. I think?

Of course, Randidly couldn’t benefit from the rather significant Endurance reward, which was quite unfortunate considering his current troubles relating to enduring the obnoxiously thick Nether. But the additional bonus for Nether related Skills would help, even if it was rather small change overall.

Randidly rushed forward, doing his best to accelerate even as the Nether Gatekeeper sent two more deadly looking tentacles out of the huge portal to grip the edges and leverage its body through the opening. His heartbeat began to accelerate rapidly. Its staccato drumming seemed to fill Randidly with heat. Even tho...

With most of his mind freed up by simply following the cascading motion of his own momentum, Randidly was able to slap some much needed stop-gap fixes onto his heavily damaged image. There wasn’t any immediately noticeable healing, but the edge...

Weird, these two chapters were only three words apart in length.
After studying Vualla’s overly bright expression for several seconds, Randidly turned around and reached for that dense plane of Nether balanced perfect in the halo of blue veins. It took a few tries to focus his Grim Intuition due to accumulat...

As the leader of the expedition, Vualla handled the lion’s share of the fighting against the enemies directly in front of them. And oftentimes she spread that to enemies that were visible to her as they rushed forward. Although her squad gallantly handled the task of keeping the foes pestering them from th...

Randidly could feel the edge of it. Once he saw it as a grand plant, the pattern immediately became clearer. He could follow around the stem to the vine, vine to the stem, stem to the trunk…

Not related to plot difficulties, although that doesn't help. Just haven't been able to get to bed on time, and its really throwing off my normal schedule. I need a day to reset and force myself to sleep at a healthy time.

Commander Terith glared at the commander of the Nether Well Strike team, who had been bored and tapping one of his many tentacles against the table to pass the time. It almost sounded musical. In the silence of the tent, it was an unnecessary and obnoxious distraction. Instantly, the multi-limbed individ...

So the point of this post is then to outline some of the changes that I'll be making for the game version of LoRG. Specifically, the variant from typical Dungeons and Dragons rules to make the System work.

First up, a big thank you for all of the interest! A bigger thank you for all of your support! After looking at the time everyone has been a Patron, I'm so awkwardly squirming. I'm so glad that my little adventure with Rand has become so important for you all.
I've gone through everyone and determined the initial group. But because of the interest, I've decided to shift how it will work a bit.
So my goal will be to host 5 sessions a month. Four will be dedicated to ...

Apologies, but tonight is another one chapter night. But I got very distracted by the DnD prep. Post to follow.
However, this is another 10 chapter week, so I can get back up there with 3 days of 3 chapters. Plus, I think I finally found how I want the next arc to proceed. Thanks for the patience~

As soon as Randidly sat down to work on his image and healing again, he realized how dangerous going to fight in this form would have been.
