Unfortunately, due to the flooding here in Ireland, and my internet being… for lack of better terminologycoming to mind, fucked. I’m putting this campaign on hold for a bit. Here’s hoping  the landlines get fixed soon but for the time being I cannot in good faith continue because if I do I’ll pop a blood vessel in my brain from all the loading times being crazy.

Here’s some lore 

“overseers, from a meta perspective, are stand-ins for anyone outside a ttrpg itself, a direct line of separation between the characters and the real people tied to them as well as any other observers applicable to the particular conversation (like the viewers of a streamed/recorded ttrpg session) but from a lore perspective, Overseers are the closest this setting could ever have to gods really, pure bioressonant energy, stuck between material reality and the void between multiverses. This kind of being can take any physical form, however looking at them for too long will often lead to persona degradation, especially with the more bioressonantly attuned replika types, gestalts are to be kept away from such entities as much as physically possible as even looking at the constructed forms of some of them can lead to actual madness. Some claim that the empress herself was in fact, an overseer  herself. These claims are unfounded and grounds for reeducation.” To be a bit meta-referential or whatever they want to call it, a few good examples of characters that fit the “overseer” bill(even if not physically.) include characters like Half-Life’s “G-Man”, Toby Fox’s “Dr. W.D Gaster”, the King of the Pallid court himself, Tzeench  from the warhammer lore(the only praise I’ll ever properly give that franchise.), the allied Mastercomputer from “I have no mouth and I must scream”, and weirdly enough, GlaDOS from Valve’s portal series. of course any “true overseer” would be, at least to any character in any setting, almost entirely unknowable in one way or another. The more eldritch the better I put GlaDOS in because she’s more of a LITERAL overseer to the player character rather than a stand in for a nebulous valve employee somehow directly guiding your play-throughs.
That’d be fun thought come to think of it, real-time test chamber creation and manipulation at the hands of another player or whatever.

 Sorry for the random tangent in the middle, it just came to mind as I wrote this. 

Anyway, lore dump over I guess, even if part of it was kinda just a meta thing.
