Welp gunshots going off while I'm trying to sleep woke me the hell up and I'm passing the time. Sorry if I'm a bit slow prepping to go to a convention in about 5 days. That and sleep schedule is just messed up.

Well not getting shot at but gunshots going off in the middle of the night is rather alarming lol Where I live it's not unlikely that someone would be shooting or something in their back yard. But still that shouldn't excuse my laziness. I got to work harder at stopping procrastination. Today after a quick sleep and a trip to target for soda I'll be dedicating most of my day to working on my lore book so I'll be in the mood to write, I already have plans to keep my computer with me when I go to texas so that while I'm not out hanging out at the convention or out to dinner or something I can try to get in a quick post or two. If I absolutely have to I will just allow a period of free roaming and interaction between students to encourage some player to player interactions and leave rune to make any judgement calls if something comes up to be allowed or not. I have Discord on my phone as well to answer questions and such in my community.

Entirely level here, I feel unmotivated when I'm depressed and was dropping the ball pretty hard this past week or so, I feel pretty good and have been in the mood to write today so I shouldn't have this issue for the foreseeable future. However, I'm also trying to make it a point to allow everyone to post their respective roles and purposefully designed my rp to be an open world rp to promote posting whether or not I'm involved, but the thing is I should be more attentive when people post to me specifically. A busy schedule and stressful environment is one thing but MY players deserve better from me. That could just be me being to hard on myself, but I feel like I should make a harder effort to do better for all you guys. Rune's doing a good job at helping me out and keeping my mind straight on the standards I've been setting for the rp so far, and as I predicted this helps me a lot.

So in the end, maybe I'm just lazy? Maybe I'm more depressed than I think I am? Who knows, all I know is that I think I should just try harder regardless of my circumstance.

I never rewrote the lore, more like I have an actual lore book that covers the whole world's current standing in history and culture. It's only about 10% complete right now as I've only made dungeons for like, 5 or 6 places and currently I have to work on designing a gambling card game.

I have my lore hammered out in my head it just has to go down on paper, but this is going to span like 8 notebooks...

I believe it was in reference to the scale of the lore you have. Clearly he had only just realized how extensive it truly is.

Unless I misread the situation, of course.

Y'know, I just realized that with @Rune_Alchemist not explicitly going back to her room, Kyvir may actually be standing outside all through his first class.

He won't be standing all throughout his class, but he will be staying put until a few moments before class begins. I'll be posting after Spirit says something about classes starting soon.

Actually... This might make a good time to start introducing the "Pact arc" I have planned for Kyvir...

@Spirit, I'm assuming all the classic DnD pact options are available; The Archfey, Fiends, and Great Old Ones, right?

Considering the fact that this is a custom lore that'll span at least 8 notebooks when committed to paper, I wouldn't be so sure that you're gonna have those options...

It's a solid assumption, but unfortunately this is gonna be kinda complicated due to lore. Basically you're never going to fully see anything more like glimpses of shadows separated by a force you can't fully understand. Demons don't actually come to this world, which I'm sure you're gonna get confused as to how that's the case when you're literally playing a tiefling. And the answer to that my friend is simple, you ain't gonna know about that until someone looks into it in detail. So here's the thing, I never had anyone talk about pact magic and I kinda just assumed how it worked. For you though I'll do some good old fashioned dm handwaving. But with some conditions.

I'm not letting you do this straight out, as forming a pact with anything in this world requires you to actually be in it's presence. So it's gonna be a bit complicated if you want a demon. First off, you're gonna have to contact a demon, or get to the infernal world. One of these is easier than the other, I'm sure you can figure out which one. lol

Once you do that, basic demon soul pact.

Option 2, Archfey. Another problem similar to demons, while there are normal fey on this plane, there aren't any Archfey on this plane. And getting from one plane to another is... Actually unprecedented. Possible, but not practical. There are a few way to do it, but going through all that effort in a RP is kinda out of your range of instant gratification. Table top, doing it is easier. But in the rp you're full immersion so this would take months of dedication to pull off in real time. You would have to study hard and put pieces of puzzles together, then once you figured it out you have to go on a few quests. And ain't nobody got time for that. Not to mention once you get to that plane, you can't come back the way you came so... Yeah more than a few issues here.

There are a few other options that you have that there will be touches of in this rp as one character Isabelle already has had my explicit hand in tying her dissent into madness into a concept. And if you explore THAT particular area then you don't have to find ways to get a demon.

The last one though, creation mythos is kinda a bitch. Unfortunately the closest thing to the Elder Things in my lore is the most difficult thing to contact, and if you did you're going insane. Like no leeway on that you would be ripping out your eyes and smelling the colors of a butterfly's fart in a parallel world that is then also on the other side of that world. Seeing things you don't want to, experiencing pain in places on your body that don't exist, living lives within seconds of moments between real moments of your life, etc. And nothing can stop that once it starts. Soooo... Don't even try that lol

So if I had to give you more feasible options off the top of my head, finding a "living god" of an evil alignment, finding a powerful lich, or travelling to the far east and making a pact with a zodiac vessel would be the easiest ways of doing this. Or you know giving a catalyst of contact to an abyssal realm demon for a brief moment. All of these are highly forbidden except the Zodiac Vessels mind you, so caution.

Yeah having an expansive lore like this is meant to be explored from the ground up, hence why I like to be consulted like this.

But on the other hand, since I'm sure nobody has the patience to actually follow the lore to a T, we could just say fuck it and let you summon a demon with less of an issue. As long as you understand that


Oh quick afterthought, you do this out in the open and you're gonna be put to death like immediately soooo. Oh and there's always the option of binding to a less powerful familiar. Like a mermaid. Or a Dryad. Or a stick you're pretty sure is a dryad secretly that's too shy to tell you it's actually a dryad.

Well damn, there goes my plan to pact with Glasya...

so TLDR; becoming a warlock isn't really a viable option?
