Is It Really?

Hola, I am a newb by YpsiFang on 2016-12-21 01:33:00 UTC Reply

So I've been reading the PPC for a veeeery short while now, and I figured I'd introduce myself here. I don't actually remember what brought me here, but I think it might've been TV Tropes? I've finished the C*l*b*i*n and legolas by laura missions, because I apparently wanted to no longer have any love for LotR. Anyways, that's me.

Make yourself at home. Hope you enjoy yourself in our cozy little corner of the 'net.

Here, take this Replica Holocron and a +1 Sturdy Boot as newbie gifts. Don't boot too many people with it.

One more thing, since I see Harry Potter in your listed fandoms, (along with Star Wars, high five!) which House do you call your own? I'm guessing Gryffindor. Am I right?

Actually... by YpsiFang on 2016-12-23 18:10:00 UTC Reply

I prefer (and have been tested as by Pottermore) Ravenclaw. I feel like Gryffindor gets way too much love, especially by the canon, and it kinda feels like the abundance of high-profile Gryffindors was just JKR's way of finding a way for everyone to know each other. Oh, well, Gryffindor is pretty neat nonetheless, though I am far too cowardly to belong to it.

Blast, wrong again. by Badger421 on 2016-12-26 17:35:00 UTC Reply

Ah, well. Can't trust my hunches all the time. Glad you like your gifts, though.
But don't worry! by YpsiFang on 2016-12-23 18:15:00 UTC Reply

I still appreciate the gifts. Thank you.

Please have a bag of black-hole chocolates. I recommend reading more of the spinoffs of course, and wish you welcome to this madhouse. May your stay be long and wonderful.

I'm a newbie too. Newbie buddies! I have a gift all picked out for you. It'll help you make decisions in some cases, help (or hinder) you doing damage in others. Ahem:

You have obtained a D-3. It has FOUR SIDES, not three; it is named a D-3 because unlike all other dice in its set, it has THREE NUMBERS ON EVERY FACE, one in each corner; when rolled, the number PROPERLY FACED TO BE READ (WHICH IS THE ONE AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID ON THE SIDE FACING YOU) is the number you have rolled. The D-3 is shaped like a PYRAMID.

Cheers,
Calliope

That's just called a d4... by YpsiFang on 2016-12-21 15:27:00 UTC Reply

But thanks anyways.

Everyone I've ever spoken to before has called it a d-3.

In my experience... by Scapegrace on 2016-12-21 16:44:00 UTC Reply

A d4 refers to the pyramidal die, while a d3 refers to using a d6 where 1 and 2 = 1, 3 and 4 = 2, and 5 and 6 = 3.

d3s by IShotHastur on 2016-12-22 04:17:00 UTC Reply

I did not know there were actual d3 dice, very cool! We sometimes use the d6 and halve it like Scapegrace said. But that's if the DM is not being evil. Sometimes she makes us roll a d4 and subtract 1 from the roll so 4 = 3, 3 = 2, 2 = 1... and 1 = 0. Because she is the Millionth Mask, and she likes to make zero an option if she can.
Do American d4s have the rolled number on the bottom? by Scapegrace on 2016-12-21 21:35:00 UTC Reply

I've only ever seen d4s with the rolled number on the top point, is the thing.

It depends, really. by Iximaz on 2016-12-21 21:41:00 UTC Reply

My mom's old dice that survived from the 60s and 70s have their numbers on the bottom, but my dice (made probably around 2008 or so) have the rolled number on the top point.

Okay.

Hey Newbie by Jebboy on 2016-12-21 05:37:00 UTC Reply

I'm guessing you like LotR,but what other canons do you know well and/or like?

Other canons I like: by YpsiFang on 2016-12-21 21:53:00 UTC Reply
- Various Fear Mythos Verses
  - The Cthulhu Mythos
  - The Potter Verse
  - Star Wars
  - The Inkheart universe (I guess multiverse?)
  - The Digger universe
  - Forgotten Realms is cool I guess
  - Other stuff I forgot because I have really bad memory

Here's some popcorn to eat while you read the Original Series and other important stuff on the top of the page. If you've already read the original series, you can throw it at annoying Sues. ;)

Thank you by YpsiFang on 2016-12-21 21:46:00 UTC Reply

I'll have to find some popup-free host on which to read the original series.

My name's Larfen.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! We have great people, here, and they're all infinitely funnier than I am, so no worries. You'll have a great time!
I got introduced by TvTropes, too, actually. A lot of us have, in fact. Good for publicity, I suppose.

My gift upon you is: a piece of rusty, dirt-encrusted scrap metal!
It's funnier than I am.
Look at it, a small piece chipped off! Hahaha!

Welcome!

Yay, I always wanted a chipped piece of rusty, dirty scrap metal. *Takes a bite*

You maniac! by Larfen J. Stocke, esq on 2016-12-21 02:50:00 UTC Reply

I hadn't even added salt!

Delicioso anyways by YpsiFang on 2016-12-21 03:10:00 UTC Reply

Ergo, I'm good as it is.

I was going to ask about the Discord in the post, but the way I interpreted the Lounge article on the PPC wiki made me think I had to PM a mod about it.

That's three newbies in a row! by SkarmorySilver on 2016-12-21 01:57:00 UTC Reply

Hello and how do you do? Welcome to the PPC!

For your newbie gift, I give you a Welcome Doormat! It changes colors when you step on it, so be sure to warn anyone who may set foot on it as it can be rather startling...

Welcome to the board! Enjoy your stay!
Another newbie! *glomp* *poke* by Iximaz on 2016-12-21 01:35:00 UTC Reply

Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!

So, you've obviously read some of Huinesoron's missions, but have you also read the Original Series? And while you're here, if you have any questions, make sure to check

Fandoms of preference: I generally avoid them; as most of the things of which I am a fan have pretty terrible fandoms (looking at you, creepypasta).
Pronouns: He/him/HIM, DEVOURER OF COSMOS (actually, scratch that last one)
I was in the process of reading the Gwendolyn mission (to reiterate, I apparently want to hate LotR), but the host site had some sort of popup so I had to leave the tab.
Also, I actually started off on the wiki. Like I said, I think I found the PPC via TV Tropes, so then I Googled it and found the wiki, then decided to read some missions because it sounded cool.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
