Bio

I am a Roleplayer with an interest in science fiction and fantasy, with a preference for Casual. I have been roleplaying for several years, and have even taken a stab at running a few RPs.

Outside the Guild, I am an Australian science student, gamer, musician and roleplayer (that's right, IRL too).

Divinus: The God Roleplay, Mk III
We are new-born gods, summoned into an empty World by the powerful and enigmatic Architect. Our purpose is to create and fill the world of Galbar and the godly Spheres surrounding it, although with such a diverse pantheon there is all manner of disagreement over what to fill the world with.
I co-GM this roleplay. I also play as Ashalla, the Goddess of the Ocean.

Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk2
We are new-born gods, summoned into an empty World to create a Universe where the last one was destroyed. Some wish to build it up, others wish to tear it down, and there is great conflict over what kind of Universe to create and what to put in it.
I play as Teknall, the God of Crafting. He's a nice guy. I was also promoted to co-GM about half way through.

The Horde of Evil

Under the command of a Dungeon Keeper, a horde of powerful beasts, monsters, warriors and demons sweep out to pillage the world beyond and battle against powerful foes. But a horde of the vilest beings in the land is far from cooperative...
I played Torrens Igneus, a cunning fire demon and veteran servant of Dungeon Keepers throughout the ages.

Dungeon Keepers

In this iteration, the Keepers arrive on a new world, in the land of Cyprus. This land is small and rich with resources, ripe for conquest. Yet it is ruled by a powerful and strangely unified nation of humans, with a King who has more power than he should...
I GM'd this one. I controlled King Reginaldus, the sorcerer king with the power to read and manipulate people's minds while they slept.
I've played in numerous past iterations before, although not all were on the Guild.

Sanctuary
In a land where magical crystals power modern technologies, a terrible Cataclysm strikes the capital city. Spirits good and bad are unleashed upon the populace, and the military seal the entire city away behind an impenetrable wall. The spirits fuse with many people, granting them powers but also driving many to evil and violence. The players must try and survive in this post apocalyptic cityscape, and maybe even find a way to escape.
I played as Zachary Mason, a kind-hearted, prodigious engineer, who is possessed by Kaa'is. He gains powers to control metal and read machines, but Kaa'is also drives him to become physiologically addicted to murder, an addiction he tries to suppress.

BattleCorp: Combatant Creator
Tabletop section. The gist is that you get to invent your own special moves when you level up, tailored to your hero.
I played David Pierce, a serious and dark gunslinger.

Meanwhile I'm still on the side of, "Forget about Earth's human precedence and do cool stuff with godly powers."@Scarifar

I've been doing that a lot too. Why do you think I'm still doing Stone Age projects despite being the God of Civilisation?

In Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II → 9 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay

Look at everyone talking about their armies of tens of thousands and vast Bronze Age nations while I'm sitting around working on a Stone Age semi-nomadic hunter gatherer village of 14 adults (15 if you count Gerrik).

I'll catch up some day.

@BBeast

How long did you spend making that! Good lord man, are you made of math?!@Lauder

That's nothing. That was some basic logarithm algebra. The formatting took longer than the actual maths. By contrast, I spent over two hours yesterday calculating and rechecking nasty integrals for a quantum physics assignment.

In Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II → 9 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay

@BBeast Is this true?!!

If it is, I can't believe I've gone my whole life without this critical moooothematical truth.@Kho

The left hand side evaluates to
logmoo(CowA)+logmoo(CowB)=logmoo(CowA*CowB).

I can change the base of the right hand side to be the same base as the left hand side. I get
log2Cow(Moo)=logmoo(2Cow)/logmoo(Moo).

If we assume that moo=Moo, then it simplifies to
log2Cow(Moo)=logmoo(2Cow).

From inspection, we can see that your equation is only true if 2Cow=CowA*CowB. This is probably not the case, unless one of the cows is equal to 2. Unless cows are dimensionless, then this 'rule' fails to hold up to dimensional analysis.

I would recommend the amendment that, instead of 2Cow, you use Cow2. This then comes with the requirement that CowA*CowB=Cow2. This is trivially true for the case CowA=CowB, but is true in other cases too. And units are preserved.

<Snipped quote by BBeast>

Though it isn't canonized in the context of this refrigeration, realism with that sort of thing can be thrown out the window with the simple explanation of, "The djinn down there keep it cold." If we want crazy -150 degree weather we can have it.

On that topic, I think it's important to note that natural disasters are 100% controlled by djinn and not mundane geological processes as on Earth. Even things like the wind are largely controlled by the whimsy of djinn rather than heat/pressure differentials. I like this because it allows for these spectacular and magical violations of physics environments. And it keeps that fantasy feel to the RP.@Cyclone

Alright, so theoretically we could have -130C weather (or colder) on Galbar, due solely to the influence of the Djinni.

The trouble is, the North pole is inhabited with all of Kho's trees and bears and undead, and the South pole was recently melted and is now home to the dwarves. -130C weather would outright kill any fleshy being unless it was absurdly specialised. I see no place in the natural order maintained by the djinn for such ridiculous and inhospitable temperatures, at least not outside tiny, localised pockets of sheer cold. But just as we wouldn't count an erupting volcano towards Galbar's maximum surface temperature, I wouldn't count localised, magically produced pockets of sheer cold towards Galbar's minimum surface temperature.

In Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II → 9 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay

(Correction to my previous post. Coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth was -89.2C, which is closer to -90 degrees than -80.)

@Kho I'm aware of the extreme seasons of Galbar. That is why I haven't commented on the upper temperature. However, I can tell you that refrigeration is much harder than heating. A lowermost extreme of -100 degrees Celsius is more reasonable.

In Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II → 9 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay

@Kho, looking at the page for Galbar, I noticed something about the temperatures.

Where on Galbar is it -130 degrees Celsius? The coldest temperature recorded on Earth is about -80 -90 degrees. Galbar may have some wild temperature swings, but 50 40 degrees of extra cooling is really hard to do. The top of Mount Bormahven would be around -60 degrees, based on Earth's atmospheric temperature profile.

@Kho I'm sorry, I can't hear you over my STABLE ruling dynasties! Get it? Because...horses and stables...and Mongolia...fell apart...eh...

@BBeast Every one of these sciencey posts makes me incredibly grateful that I took high school sciences up to year 12 and Elec-Engineering 101. The only thing I had to look up was 'birefringent'.

<Snipped quote by BBeast>

If I remember right, Teknall effectively gave divine life to Kinesis and Conata when he added that ichor. Does this mean that Goliath is going to join the Robots with Feelings (RwF) club when he uses that Sunny-Dee o' Self-Repair?@Muttonhawk

The ichor given to Conata and Kinesis was raw. This stuff has been carefully measured out into an alchemical potion and thoroughly processed. 'Blood of a craft god' makes a brilliant alchemical ingredient when creating a potion which fixes machines. It was effectively a way to expend Might on a potion, directly imbuing it with Crafting powers. I had no intention of accidentally granting Goliath sentience.
Look at Mutton giving me all the good ideas
I have an unrelated planned addition to the RwF club, although that may be quite a while away.
