Hmm, I assume the punch is fast enough that Fellwing has no hope of intercepting it (with like magic or something)?

You can attempt to, if you roll high enough with either a Defy Danger, Moon Magic or Shadow Magic roll.

Cool beans, imma give it a go! Considering she's marked a Shadow for Anger rn, it'll probably be more violent magic than she'd otherwise resort to (aka "Escalate a delicate situation").

Do I add the +1 going forward from the previous roll to this one?

Yes.

Hmm, so actually, a quick question that potentially affects the outcome of Fellwing's magic. 2d6+1 gave me an 8, but then I realized I was also supposed to add Fellwing's marked Shadows. She had one before this, and using Shadow Magic makes her mark another-- so would she get +1 or +2 from the marked Shadows? As in, does the mark get added after or before the roll? +1 doesn't affect anything, but +2 does.

Either is fine and my post isn't really affected since it's up to you to describe the effect and all, just wondering! With Anger marked it's gonna be bad anyway, but with a <10, OOF.

I'm gonna say, don't add count the shadow you marked after using Shadow Magic in the Shadow Magic roll. But yeah, you get an extra plus 1.

Yiss, that's a 9 then! It does work better this way actually so 👀 looking forward to the oof.

Will add an ooc bit in too btw, realized I forgot.

And Stargaze is gonna be so confused.

Admittedly, I am also a little confused...which game mechanic is Skobeloff referring to? ^^"

You know, this post came to my mind while I was doing some introspection based on the fact this RP is now 3 years old.

If I were to ever make another ttrpg campaign where the protagonists were dragons, I would definitely not use Epyllion again. I've even looked into possible other games that would support the same idea (even found that one I found quite interesting, and might consider in future), and...

Well, I realise that had I picked ANY other system, we would be playing a very different game. Not just mechanics wise, but story wise, because Epyllion's dragons and the world they live in are very cuddly compared to every other option. I actually made it more grim for this roleplay, because in the base game, the dragons had actually beaten the Darkness in the past, as opposed to having to lift a whole continent into the sky to escape it.

Yeah, the islands in the sky things was my idea. You can thank Spyro for that.

Anyway, guess I just want to say, as much as Epyllion probably isn't the best system for dragon game, the relationship between the PCs and also how they interact with the NPCs would be very different. Because dragons are kinda jerks in a lot of games.

I aim to get a post up this week.

this is a mood

That last bit about annoying humans has got me wondering something. Are there any humans on the Moonlit Isles?

That last bit about annoying humans has got me wondering something. Are there any humans on the Moonlit Isles?

I'm surprised this has never come up before but... nope!

In fact, there have never been humans on the whole of Adulare. Some types of fey look what we would describe as 'humanoid' (the closest being elves, who will be introduced at some point in the future), but this world does not have a concept of humans.

This was the case with vanilla Epyllion as well. Epyllion as written only seemed to mention other dragons as the sentient NPCs you could interact with. Moves like "Study Someone" and "Convince Someone" were originally referred to as "Study a Dragon" and "Convince a Dragon", for example. Because I took a lot of influence from the Spyro games when making this RP, I wanted to include more beings for the players to interact with, which is where the fairies and elementals came in. However, including humans in the world never really interested me, and the world-building of base Epyllion never really pushed me to do so.

this world does not have a concept of humans

Or maybe it does, but the concept is just some barely semi-credible rumor that the sasquatches are hellbent on proving true despite it most likely not being true.

Next GM post will be up sometime next week. If anyone has anything they need to add, now would be the time to do so.
