- the corpse is still here, but a bit less talkative

- burning elevator flies past [like half life]

- bartering [but like, on the honour system

derailment due to knowledge that I was under the impression was already known.

guess what, I'm back! more SparkNotes from session 3

- never let Lilith have chalk ever again [my ears]

- shop unlocked!

- unreal sippage

- a previously dying star unit is so thoroughly done with the party's shit she leaves for parts unknown

- "where'd the party go?" "probably in the hole"

- glimpse of....... her.

- this room does not exist. but you're here!

accidental derailment over *Ball McCartney*

- confusion about number of doors in the corridoor they're in

- found the butterfly box! can't open it though.

- another safe room, another save

- Eve is now Aware[™] of her player

- Bird is now Aware[™] of her player

- Lilith is now Aware[™] of her player[s]

- fox is now Aware[™]{through different means} of his player [also his player decided to speak to them like Bill Cipher]

- the security camera watches ceaselessly

- we watch ceaselessly

- the ceaseless watcher......... it's in her name.

that's it for episode three! to be frank with you, the sparknotes for this session are a bit simplified, I even left out a puzzle they did, also Ball McCartney took up a lot more space in the party's heads then I thought it would but hey
see you all next week with more intel!

KintaroTPC125 days ago

Notes from session 4

- waking up (to ash and rust)

- simply ignore the existential dread overcoming you

- everyone’s internal clocks are fucked. Severely

- the great revolutionary? Or the great traitor? More at eleven

[we almost derailed at the office tbh]

- too many key cards, so little time

(And a Deltarune joke)

we're back with yet another set of sparknotes!!

Notes from session 5

- hanging out in the hallway outside the horrors

- actually trying to talk about any of the horrors[tm]

- Eve checking on the scar fox got from getting courier 6’d

- in one of many horrid choices Lilith went into “The door that shows you the horrors + gestalt memories” and almost gets vivisected by a version of the gestalt she was built off.

[She’s the first person here to actually get any persona damage!]

- Lilith has her first true glimpse of the ceaseless watcher, of whom her player warned her (not hyperbole in the slightest)

- Lilith gets a friendly fire citation

- fox is somehow playing fucking ANGRY BIRDS

Empire time

- Fox & bird go into the next room, which is apparently a kitchen.

- turns out those empire lads are quite sneaky

- first new enemy of the campaign! Corrupted star units catalogued

- combat lasted about four turns, which is a new record

- Bird continues their trend of rolling abysmally at inopportune times.

- flare + corrupted star = the entire thing burning to ash apparently. Also there was a repair patch inside the other Star

- fucked up sneaking back to the others, more combat

- Eve goes into the bathroom, her reflection changes to a gestalt, gets hit with a flashbang by that soldier from Fox’s memories. Got a patch of a flag

- the mirror is broken, showing a frozen over copy of the bathroom

- that soldier’s still around here. Somewhere

- showing Fox the flag from the guy that shot him in the head, in fact, was not enjoyable, mostly because it means it was in some way real

- the gang searches the storeroom (featuring the ceaseless watcher’s atomic shadow I guess)

- saying that the pantry is unkempt is putting it charitably. Not that it’s a sea of rot but a lot of stuff is decayed.

- Eve misses a point blank shot.

- Lilith stabs the corrupted Eule and gets a cleaver in her shoulder

- Bird misses

- Fox puts the Eule down

- Eve stomps its skull in

- Lilith gets that point of persona back after hacking the corpse up

this was the most combat heavy session by far, a welcome surprise zum Ruhm unserer wunderbaren Nation!

KintaroTPC114 days ago

Awesome! How are you feeling about the combat system so far? Anything jump out that seems off or could use tweaking?

freelancer_incorporated113 days ago

most problems I have are only relating to how I personally plan encounters, one thing that's slightly a nitpick is that reloading should probably be classed as a simple action, rather than a complex one, might help streamline things. this was the most combat heavy session yet, but there weren't too many problems. I guess it's more accurate to say "not as many problems as I was expecting"

honestly, I'm tempted to try making some renders of the replikas I've been talking about in these Session logs, but I guess I could give some random notes on each of them if asked, it's whatever.

KintaroTPC113 days ago

Gotcha. The primary reason I made reloading a complex action rather than a simple one is that I wanted people to pay attention to clip sizes. Kinda like having a "timer" in combat and encourage moments of "I need to reload, someone cover me" or just being very deliberate about positioning.
