I'm having way too much fun with my Legend of Zelda Encylopedia. This is the game that got me into roleplaying so have a lot invested in it's lore and stories. Too bad can't have all the games too.

Will have my post done tomorrow. Both for Yasha and for Nyna.

@Thecrash20
Nyna and Spooky are heading to E-Rantel, right? So would you mind if my next post I started taking us through Katze Plains, heading towards the city?

@Lugubrious
I suppose Arcos city is the one just below the mountains, right?


If you guys are heading through Katze Plains I can easily set up an event to happen there. The thing to note for the Katze Plains is that it will be quite unnaturally foggy, and there is a very good chance of seeing undead roaming around and old ruins. As can be expected of such a place few people bother to go there but there are always a few weirdos around.
Ok, well we'll try to get the timeskip going soon, I do have to do a little work first though since I've been very distracted lately. Tomorrow I should have some time to get some work in to readying the roleplay for the next step.
It's official now, just picked up my new Poland National Visa from FedEx, just a little over two weeks until the trip over!

@BurningDaisies
Because of what you do, I appreciate you more than you'll ever know.
@IceHeart
Not the biggest deal in the world, but how is HideYourMen approaching Lexus, December, and Himitsu? They are all flying (or floating) high above the guildhall wreckage. Can I just assume s/he just magically flew up their or is at least speaking very loudly?


Well, I did not realize they were floating up there, but anyway, no, HideYourMen cannot fly so speaking loudly will have to do. Otherwise there would have been no need to transform into her real lamia form in the first place.
It did not take very long for the world to turn upside down for David Lording. While he tried to figure things out, the previously docile beholder came to life and decided to destroy most of the guildhall. Various people attacked it, things exploded, it was quite the mess but the entire time, HideYourMen had just stood there, trying to come to terms with the new situation. The ceiling collapsed down on top of him, but his servant NPC was there to shield him with a powerful barrier, so all the rubble bounced off around them.

"This cannot be real, this is impossible!" David thought to himself as he looked down at his massive chest that now appeared to be real. There was only one way to tell if everything was real or not, and he was equal parts frightened and excited as he started down, reached up with his now slender hands, and coped a feel.

The ridiculous amount of sensations that flooded through his hands and decidedly female breasts very quickly overwhelmed him as it was a sensation he had never felt before in his life. It was impossible, but he, David Lording, was now in fact his female avatar, HideYourMen. David had the strangest competing feelings of excitement and utter terror.


"Mistress HideYourMen, how could you put your golden skin in even the slightest danger by standing inside a collapsing building like that? Imagine if even the slightest blemish came upon your divine countenance, I would have never forgiven myself!"
The servant looked as if he was in pain just thinking about it. David really wished he could remember if he had even given the servant npc a name, though he had a feeling he never bothered in the first place, but now that he was real, well he might need to figure out something to call the man other than servant. He also really needed a name other than HideYourMen for people to call him, using the avatar name in a real environment was just way too weird.

"Please don't call me by that name, umm I'll tell you when I think of one but for now we need to figure out what exactly has happened." Having stayed in the center of the building, HideYourMen was now surrounded by rubble, which looked annoying to climb over but then he remembered his race. Of course he was in human form at the moment, but by transforming into his true form, that of a lamia, he would be able to transverse the rubble easily.

Transforming came to him naturally, though the sense of the metamorphosis felt quite disturbing, as he got to watch his legs twine themselves together and transform into the long, coiling tail of a serpent. He could fell his face change shape slightly, his eyes could suddenly view the world in heat vision if he desired, he could feel fangs protrude from the roof of his mouth, and his hands grew long, sharp nails that were powerful weapons in their own right.

It was going to take a while to get used to being both a full-fledged monster, and a woman on top of that.

The strong lamia body allowed David to slither without incident out of the wreckage while his NPC servant quickly followed after. It seemed while he had still been trying to accept his own new reality, everyone else had been busy getting together to figure out what they were going to do next. He also really needed to figure that out as well.

The closest people David saw were a Chimera avatar, an NPC that had transformed into basically a statue, and a Harpy avatar, not that they could really be called avatar's anymore if they really now were stuck inside their avatar bodies. What was very interesting was that HideYourMen could now fell 'divine' influences', for example he could tell that the kimono on the harpy was blessed by another god, this had to be his character's divine nature at work which allowed him to sense the other god's power. Since he had reached a divine status in Yggdrasil, just how would that affect him now that he was real?

"Greetings, my name is...HideYourMen...heavens I really need to think of a new name..." HideYourMen slapped her forehead in embarrassment at saying his username out loud. "Anyway that is now important, if we are going to make it in this, other dimension or whatever, we better come up with some plans."

@BurningDaisies@baraquiel
@IceHeart It may or may not make an impact on the story, but can you please tell us what the current season is as well as how long will each season last?


Hmm, well for expedience sake we'll just have it similar to Earth's four seasons, so about 3 months a season. I'd say current season would be...late spring. We're up in the mountains at the moment though, well most of the players anyway, where it can get quite cold and snowy.

I've never used them. My roommates do, or use stuff like tinder. I guess I'm not against online dating because I've had a gf who lived in the UK who I met online, but it wasn't through a dating site and I flew over there to date her regularly anyway. I never actually look for dates or ask anyone out, so putting myself on a dating site kinda seems like...displaying myself for people to pick and choose, and that's not the beginning of any kind of love, imo.


Online dating...tried it a few times but...basically it works like this. Make profile, get 0-2 messages from people, those you get are usually people you would not be interested in so nothing happens there. You decide to message people, 90% ignore you, 10% maybe send back a message. You finally find someone interesting and start messaging, then they either, miraculously find someone else to date or disappear all together. This is what will happen if you are truthful in your profile unless you are a winner in life, then you'll get a flood of messages from people thinking they have a chance to share in your good fortune.

Unless you are willing for the site itself you match you up with people as a matchmaking service, you're just way better off meeting people in reality and maybe you'll connect with someone. Dating sites are one of the easiest ways to feel like nobody gives a fig about you, avoid unless you are prepared for working really, really hard to find anyone who would even consider meeting you in real life.

I did get a number once, but then they found someone else XD.
I've been busy the past few days. My brother is going away to Seminary, I had to take a plane to Los Angeles to go to the Polish Consulate to get my national visa so I can work over there and teach English. Quite a few things going on so priorities and all that.
@Lugubrious@BurningDaisies
Just need to decide where everyone is going to be after the time skip then we can work from there to set up the locations and stories. Does any group need a city/village that needs to be created/set up? We GM types then will have a base to go off of.
@IceHeart

I want to ask something. As an avatar of Law and Order, and as an extension of Lexus' 'Impartiality' ability, it would make sense that Lexus Dominiel would have 'Truesight'. I have the description from a D&D wiki:

<Snipped quote>

The only difference would be that Lexus cannot see into the Ethereal Plane (since it's questionable whether such a thing even exists in the New World), and cannot perceive the original form of a shapechanger if the shape change is physical. Basically, Lexus would be able to perceive the physical 'truth' behind anything and would not be susceptible to magical illusions or any mind-altering effects.

I realize that this can be highly-offensive to players who have made characters that rely heavily on illusions, which is why I'm laying it out openly and leaving it up to GM discretion. I just feel that such an ability works well with Lexus' theme and should be built into the character.


While certainly annoying for those characters, just like in any MMO. characters have certain builds which counter other characters builds so its not at all outside the realm of possibility. It should be fine as that is the type of NPC the character was designed as.

We can no longer store our items and equipments in our inventory, right?


Well I think for a character's inventory like in most MMOs, yes that would be the case, but if you were able to get your hands on say, an item box like Ainz did, then you could just put items away into that. That being said it could very well be that the item box is in fact the inventory system of Yggdrasil which means everyone could store their junk inside it. In any event, even if the item box was not given to every player right off the bat I'm sure most people could easily acquire one. I'll leave it up to the player to decide if they have one or not.

Something I was wondering....
If the events of YGGDRASIL took place almost 600 years ago before Momonga showed up outside E-Rantel (et al), did the NPC's experience the full 600 years? Or did they get the seamless time dilation experience the players did?


Well the Six Great Gods appeared in the New World 600 years ago who were probably the first players to arrive as they brought with them Tier magic and other systems from YGGDRASIL. Then every 100 years after that a group of players would 'advent' to the new world. Of course we have no idea when the Six Great Gods made the transition over and created what would become the Slane Theocracy. Now we know YGGDRASIL lasted for about 12 years, so if the Six Great Gods were transported during that first year, 1 year the real world = 50 years in the new world.

In any case though, NPCs are given ages by their creators so whatever the age is in their bio would be how long they have lived in YGGDRASIL, also probably if the backstory NPC is that they met their creator how ever many years ago, then that would translate to their memories as well. For consistencies sake we'll have the NPCs that came along for the ride have the same time dilation as the players for the transition to the New World.
