No worries. I myself will probably not be doing posts today. Still wiped from work and I have to prepare for the storm that is this week and Black Friday weekend.

What Are You Listening To?

Lamplight

If it's helpful for you, I'm down with it! I've "co-GM'd" with people before.

@Raqueltrper

It's not necessarily that I'm looking for help. It's more so a tool to get the players more involved and invested in the world at large. Not saying that you aren't, though.

Lamplight

I've been mulling it over, and I'm wondering if you all would like to collab and build the history of Lamplight with me. We would do it using a simple worldbuilding game called The Quiet Year.

If not, totally fine; I have the story set up where it needs to be. But, if so, maybe the story shifts depending on what you contribute. Perhaps the biggest of bads becomes someone different, and all the arcs leading up to the finale follow suit. Your choice; no pressure.

Dredged up from the black, the vision swirls into focus, bringing with it an abnormal clarity.

A tree sits isolated in a dark space. Embedded by its branches is a woman, still breathing, blood crawling from her wounds and down its trunk. Figures from the darkness emerge and prostrate before the tree, bowing out of rhythm, their bark-laden and gnarled bodies twisting in the scarce light. Smears of dried blood grace their jaws, a sign of feeding, yet they don't seem keen to eat the prey before them. As the woman's blood courses in stray rivers over the stains of other life, it reaches the bottom of the tree, curls over a root strong enough to pierce through stone, and out of sight.

Tiffany watches Stone's Throw from the air, a silent observer. The fringes of her vision separate the colors, distort slightly, and she witnesses—in all too instant a fashion—the obliteration of six square miles of land. Buildings erupt, their rubble cast skyward. The very ground cracks, sinks, is thrown in all directions, as massive roots spring forth like worms breaching the surface. They seek life everywhere, finding the distracted and scared and impaling their bodies clean through with wooden spikes. The screams of the tree's victims are drowned out by the sheer volume of destruction, the town sinking into the newly-formed crater that appears to grow.

In the center, rising from the depths of ruin, the tree ascends, its body increasing in size. Golden leaves enlarge upon gargantuan branches. A mile high, the tree comes to a stop, towering over chaos and death. Suddenly, silence. Tiffany listens to the breeze passing through the leaves of the forest below, a new greater being having joined their ranks.

And then, a dust-like cloud forms from the branches of the great tree and is carried by the wind, heading westward.

^{"the GIRL is human...}

What hope does the girl have in preventing the inevitable? It desires destruction. It desires the chaos. The girl cannot hope to stop what comes. The girl will need its strength."

@Antarctica I would like to post today, so is there something with my premonition roll?

@PatientBean

There is. I'll post in-character.

Lamplight

Sorry for the late response. For my color, I think I'll go with 8dc73f.

I'm gonna play some catch up, and will contribute to the history as well.

@Raqueltrper

A nice choice. It compliments Agent Arbor well.

Necrogenesis: A Not-So-Typical Zombie Outbreak [SHUTTERED]

All good.

Lamplight

Yeah, it seems that the dice threads are for solo players only, which is a real bummer. I'll leave you guys to create your own threads, with the caveat that each roll you make has to be linked to your dice thread for posterity.

Lamplight

@Antarctica Hi yes, I should have been more specific. I do know how to roll the dice and I do know which dice to roll, but in your specific thread, I have no option to type any roll. If I make my own campaign for dice rolls, I am able to. Unless I am completely missing it (which is very likely).

@PatientBean

Oh, weird. I didn't know it worked like that. Let me see if I can find a workaround.
