    Sweet Jesus you got some sexy stocks. And I love what you've done with them. I like the simplicity of them, honestly; it's just another style. You're right to stress placement, and yours is stellar on a lot of these. You've got the rule of thirds down to a science. The colors are lovely, but I'd like to see what you could do with just a bit more customization. Maybe play around with more solid-color themes and such.

    Seriously I freaking love those stocks, would you mind telling me where some of them came from? ; w;

    NOW.

    Yes, we have a logo. Who's your daddy.

    Guys, please check it out and let me know if anything's missing or if there's something I could stand to add. My brain is so frazzled right now and I'm really nervous that I'm gonna mess something up. ;_;

    Titles, not Lands. The Lands have to be in my control because they are game constructs and as such they are inexorably linked to several other game constructs; they cannot simply be chosen willy-nilly! I was originally going to govern titles/powers too, but I don't want to take all the freedom away.

    Also, we will be starting from the point where no one is in the game, and some people may not have even gotten their copies yet! There must be one significant obstacle in the way of each character's acquisition of and entry into Sburb, but some obstacles may be less problematic than others. Everyone will enter at different times, after all.

    I'm still debating how to handle house/neighborhood exploration. Naturally the player knows more about their location than I do, but I need to structure it such that there are goals and secrets to be sought. Maybe I'll ask each player to describe their house and the immediate area in detail.

    You hush >:E

    The Sea part in particular is not guaranteed because certain Denizens demand certain attributes to their Lands, and water is a big part of one who may be making an appearance. I'm sorry, but precedence dictates certain things by which I must abide to make the session authentic.

    I'll think about the Stardust part, though.

    SBURB .8
    Signups/OOC

    IC thread


    Hello, and welcome to SBURB .8, an AU Homestuck RPG. Yes, RPG, as in game. My attempt with this will be to introduce a more concrete structure and progression of events than the average RP, hopefully facilitating the players' interest in the game. That, and it only makes sense to offer a Homestuck RP in this format.

    There will be more in-depth explanation of the mechanics on the IC, but here's the short version: It's D&D without the stats. I will serve the role of GM, periodically offering goals and prompts; sometimes for individual characters, sometimes for the whole team. You will write from your character's perspective in pursuit of those goals or going from those prompts. When you have made a significant amount of progress, or your actions depend on my input for their success or failure, I will post again to update your status. I will also play the role of NPCs--some helpful, some hostile--and describing your surroundings and available pathways.

    Note that you are only as aware as you say you are. If you want to be on the look-out for traps, say so. If you want your weapon at the ready, tell me you're drawing it. This is especially important when traveling in groups, as you may on occasion receive sensory data your companions don't. Anyone who has played a pen-and-paper RPG should be familiar with this format. The only difference is that it will be much more informal; there will be things like stats, but only as milestones for achievement and progression. Hopefully this will make it easier to jump into.

    Discussion began here. Unfortunately for any newcomers, there was enough of a turn-out that all player slots are currently reserved! However, this does not mean you won't be able to participate. See below for details on how to sign up for NPC Reserves.​

    RULES

    Please read the rules thoroughly before playing. Most of this is stuff you know, but read it anyway because you know there are gonna be subtle differences, and you'll regret not knowing them if you end up breaking them. Pay special attention to POSTING ETIQUETTE; that's the part you have to have down pat!

    PLAYER CONDUCT
    - I hope I don't have to say this, since most of us are on speaking terms; but please be courteous to other players. If you have a disagreement with someone in the group, bring it to me, do not air it out on your own. This is our game and we can all enjoy it, if everyone agrees to be open about what's bothering them so that I can fix it with my boundless creative genius-*brick'd* Ahem. Yeah, anyway, let me know if something's eating you.
    - You have control of your character and only your character. The focus of your posts should be, above all else, your character's perspective and actions. If another character is mentioned in your post, even if it's a chat log, make sure the respective player knows about it and gives the OK. In the smallest cases this prevents duplicate actions/logs; in the largest ones, it can keep you from taking a character in a direction their player didn't intend.
    - There are two major forms of metagaming I want to avoid. First is using Homestuck knowledge to figure things out in this game. Homestuck is not part of this universe's canon; the official stance is that it is "some weird comic," and it will be treated as such any time it is referenced, thus offering no real insight to the characters. Second is a procedural thing: If your character is given new information, assume the other characters do not know it until your character tells them personally. This is to give you something to use Pesterchum for (assuming you can get to a computer, which won't always be the case!), and it otherwise encourages communication between players and characters. Other than that, just work with your character's natural limits; don't do something he/she wouldn't do, don't use knowledge he/she wouldn't have, and so on.

    POSTING ETIQUETTE
    - I'm looking for an average of one or two posts per day. Absolute minimum 1. Might seem like a lot for some of you, but I want to keep this thing rolling, and as long as you hear from me often enough, you should (ideally) have something to do and some goal to work towards at all times.
    - Here's the basic format: Each post should contain (1) narration and (2) a command. The narration is the role play bit: You write from your character's perspective, same as you would in any other role play. The command is your attempt to advance the story: You give me one action your character is attempting and I give you the results of it the next time I post. Use narration when you wouldn't require my input, such as in messing around in your room or chatting with other players; use a command where you would, such as in interacting with NPCs or during combat.
    - Please keep your narration in third-person, past-tense, limited omniscient perspective. This is a lot of fancy gobbeldygook to describe what most of you should be used to doing: You have complete control over one and only one character, you refer to him/her as "he/she" and not "I" or "you," and everything is in past tense. It's poor form to have people writing in different styles, and sometimes it gets disorienting for people trying to catch up.
    - Your narration portion can be as long or short as you want, but the longer and more detailed it is, the more likely your command will have the intended effect! Example 1: If you're looking for something and your command is just >Search for [thing], who knows what you'll find? Maybe tell me where you're looking and describe the thing you're after. Example 2: In a fight, if you're specific about what you're aiming at (stomach, limbs, some rocks precariously perched above your adversary, etc.), how much power you're putting into a strike, and so on, you might find you waste less energy, hit more often, and deal more damage, among other things.
    - No one really has a "turn" when they're expected to post. If you have something to post, go ahead and post! That said, it is good form to talk to others in the group and see what their plans are, especially if you're in a party with several characters. I will try to respond to commands as quickly as I can so we can keep up the pace, but as long as you're not waiting on me, you can and should post any time.
    - If you need to say something OOC... well, there is an OOC thread for that... but if it just has to be said in the IC thread, make sure it stands out. A page break and an "OOC:" prefix are preferable.

    TIPS
    - I will make every attempt to reward creativity, attentiveness, and exploration. Be thorough in exploring your environments; try out interesting commands that come to mind, both in and out of battle; and pay attention to clues in the narration! Missing something is a lose-lose, since you don't get cool stuff and I can't show off my work, but I can't just hand you all the goodies on a silver platter. Keep your eyes peeled, both in- and out-of-character, and don't be afraid to take risks.
    - There are no stats for a reason, and no, it's not just because I'm too lazy to crunch the numbers (although that is definitely part of it :L). This is still a narrative RPG, so it needs to stay grounded in that. When you're in a fight, just fight your hardest, and don't worry about how much HP the boss has left or how powerful he is. I will try to avoid totally unwinnable fights, but some of them are not meant to be won; in those cases, I'll make it as clear as possible what you're supposed to do, whether it's hold out for a certain amount of time, or just run. If you think a fight's going on too long or you're being unfairly pounded, remember communication. I need to know what's on your mind if I'm gonna do anything about it.
    - Bear in mind that your character can die at any time. The world of Sburb is a wondrous place, but as any avid Homestuck fan can tell you, it hides as many dangers as splendors beneath the surface! Be mindful of your mortality at all times. That said, this is not Paranoia or World of Darkness; the GM is not out to get you. If you do bite the big one, don't lose hope, as your role in the story may not be over just yet. Sburb works in mysterious ways...​

    SAMPLE POSTS

    Below you will find sample posts to give you an idea of what yours should look like. If any mechanics confuse you which are not covered here, please let me know and I'll design as many sample posts as needed.

    Some days, Zach liked waking up. Usually those were the days preceded by a reasonable bed time and a solid eight hours. Those days would start with the pleasant tweet of birds, rather than the obnoxious beeping of his alarm.

    This was not one of those days.

    Zach had to push the alarm button several times before the damn thing would shut up. He sat there for a few moments, trying to find himself in time and space. His room. His bed. The bed creaked, flimsy framework straining, reminding him it was his. Saturday. Nothing to do today, he thought. Might as well sleep.

    His head hit the pillow. His eyelids drifted shut. Consciousness exchanged parting pleasantries with him and started out the door...

    "SBURB."

    Zach flew off the bed. It gave a fatal CRACK behind him, broken again. He didn't even slightly care. Today was Sburb day. It was time to play. He sat at his desk and flipped open his laptop; he'd left it on overnight again. He opened Pesterchum. One friend online: sophophilicGentleman.

    With that, it was time for Zach to get him some Sburb.

    Interests: Like many of your friends, you are studying several LANGUAGES. JAPANESE seems to be the norm, but you are also studying NORWEGIAN and FRENCH. Also like your friends, you hold the medium of JAPANESE ANIMATION close to your heart, and you hope to be an ANIMATOR someday. You are also fond of DRAWING, but you AREN'T ALL THAT GREAT AT IT. You do not draw stick figures though. Stick figures make you SHUDDER IN DISGUST if drawn by anyone over the age of six for anything other than comedic purposes. Another interest is SEWING and COSPLAY, but you are very LAZY and barely ever do it. In fact, you are so lazy you neglect your HOMEWORK in favor of playing GAMES with your friends and surfing the internet for YAOI. You also enjoy SINGING, but again, you are very LAZY, and don't really record yourself. You just sing for lulz.

You are particularly fond of the CLASSICAL and FOLK genres, although you’ll listen to WHATEVER SOUNDS GOOD. You play VIOLIN and PIANO and are an EX-SINGER. You think you are INTOLERABLY BAD AT IT, but a number of your friends STRONGLY DISAGREE. You keep this as a hobby, and devote most of your energy to WORDS and LITERATURE. In particular, you enjoy WORD RELATIONS and LINGUISTICS. You also enjoy CLASSIC LITERATURE, but you HAVEN’T HAD MUCH TIME TO READ any. In addition, you also enjoy media from OTHER COUNTRIES, in particular: FRENCH FILM and ANIME, the latter of which you commonly ENJOY WITH YOUR FRIENDS. Like them, you know a FOREIGN LANGUAGE--being FRENCH--but you are NOWHERE NEAR FLUENT. You also have a STRANGE TALENT for pronouncing JAPANESE, although you CANNOT STRING A SENTENCE TOGETHER in it. You enjoy GAMING, both VIDEO and TABLETOP, and you frequently ROLE PLAY in both. Given your choice, you tend to employ MAGES. You spend an INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME ONLINE, from doing things such as FORUMING and SOCIAL NETWORKING, to WATCHING SILLY VIDEOS. This form of INTERACTION suits you because, if needed, you can STILL GET YOUR SPACE. However, you HAVE TROUBLE MAKING FRIENDS because you have NO SELF ESTEEM and little SELF-CONFIDENCE.

You also play the FLUTE and KEYBOARD - although really you aren't a very good musician. You're much better at POETRY and FORTUNE TELLING. Oh, you forgot about that. You FORGET A LOT. You are particularly interested in ASTRONOMY and know quite a lot about it. You believe in an ULTIMATE FATE, although it is unclear to you what that fate is or how it relates to you! Your INTERNET FRIENDS are extremely important to you, and you spend much of your class time and home time on your TECHNOLOGY PHONE talking to them! You also enjoy things like VIDEO GAMES and ANIME and TV SHOWS which you only watch on your LAPTOP COMPUTER which you also take with you EVERYWHERE. You have a PECULIAR FASHION SENSE and are inspired by JAPANESE STREET FASHION. This very much reflects your personal lack of ORGANIZATION. Which happens to be your LEAST FAVORITE THING.

You enjoy ANY FICTIONAL WORK as long as it is WELL-WRITTEN. You are a GAMER, your interests in that field as ECLECTIC as in any other.

You are well-versed in the online world, and enjoy minor law-breaking activities such as PIRATING MUSIC AND MOVIES. You are SARCASTIC, as most teenagers are. You're also something of a CHRONIC LIAR, and you are PRETTY GOOD AT IT.

    Interests: You have an interest in INTELLIGENCE; that is, knowing things most people probably shouldn't. You assume that you've ended up on several LISTS due to your SUSPICIOUS AND DISTRUSTING NATURE. You tend to stay at home in your STUDIO APARTMENT. You like to COOK, but aren’t very good at it, and spend your days WRITING, or PLAYING THE PIANO. Your dagger, GHEDE, never leaves your side. You are perhaps a little UNSTABLE and at times DANGEROUS; it’s just how you wanted things. You are MESSY and DISORGANIZED, and usually only bother to clean on the rare occasions when you have VISITORS. You thought you were going to college after graduating early, but instead immersed yourself in online writing and text-based ROLE PLAYS. While waiting on replies you took time to COMPLETE COLLEGE COURSES ONLINE – granted, not many yet – and doing TRANSCRIPTION jobs to make at least enough money to FEED YOURSELF. You’re RATHER SURPRISED you haven’t been kicked out of your apartment yet. Your MOTHER makes it a point to call and NAG on a daily basis about moving out, and you make it a point to visit and SPIT IN HER SHOES at least once a month. TENSE RELATIONSHIPS are a normality for you, made worse by your tendency to SAY WHAT YOU'RE THINKING before you have a chance to censor yourself.

    Either way, sprites are optional, and will be a part of the Appearance field on the character sheet, which doesn't exist yet because I'm still working on the OOC, so there's no explicit deadline yet.

    ...So, for reasons, FKB has decided she will not be playing. She said she might still sign up for NPC reserves, but... yeah.

    Considering that it will be a significant number in the plot, I think I would rather make the player cap 7 than find another eighth player. What this means is that someone needs to be Space. Yes, your Land will have Frogs. But it may have another thing which is not Frogs!

    That sucks too because she was going to be the Scholar of Space and I had a really neat idea for a Scholar ;~;

    ...Oh yeah. The frog breeders are both Space Heroes, aren't they. :L All righty then! I guess FKB's the frog lady.

    I won't enforce it. Not for now. Maybe next time I run a game I will ask for people to prepare them, but we're already pretty far into the preparations for this run, so just use whatever.

    The age range is 15-18. You can be any age in that range!

    You can wear whatever, 'cause you'll probably end up alchemizing some SW33T G34R at some point.

    Whatever you're comfortable with. I wouldn't ask for real names since I wouldn't give my own.

    Hey >:C That's my job!

    ...You are the best

    Yeah, and since that is rapidly becoming an issue I'm going to go ahead and focus all my energies into that for the time being.

    EDIT: Please be aware that the color Maroon (#800000) is reserved! Other colors may be reserved when the official thread goes up.

    Wow. You guys are good at this sprite thing. Mine always look like crap ; ~;

    Also I didn't think Space and Time were necessary to create a new universe. Guess I have some more reading to do...

    Actually, yes, I do.

    Or did.

    Like...

    circa Dark Crisis.

    You cannot be the Chump of Shoosh because you are too busy being the King of Games.

    Anyway. Your symbol can be whatever color you like! As can your text color. Neither of them has to match your God Tier colors, either. Vriska's didn't, for instance. Get crazy widdit! But I mean, try not to overlap too much with someone else's colors.

    My point seems to have been missed. I like villains. I like them a lot. Especially when they love what they do and have no remorse. My problem with Vriska is that she is an utter tool.

    In a universe where the very concept of free will is challenged, she manages to be the biggest tool of all. Worst of all, her cardinal sin, is that she doubted! It may not even have been her calling to be the ruthless witch she was, but she pursued it with primal fervor. She's every bit as predictable as Doc Scratch said she was. People who are fans of her work are settling for a sub-par performance. Why, they have Terezi and Doc Scratch to choose from as well! Both do it better and for longer. <3
