The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!

Welcome to the PPC! Have a full set of roleplaying dice - imagine up whatever pattern and material you want for them.

Proofreading and making sure characterization's consistent, please.

There's a whole lot of life going on in the Discord that doesn't really show up for the whole community, so it's always good to get everyone involved in that. New content and writings and such are always good, too, oy?

We're just good friends. Really. That's it.

So, how are the two of you doing? Any chance of new mission reports being published?

So, how are things going with Maxwell?

I'm working for Microsoft this summer, so I'll be in the Seattle area until mid-August. Would anyone be interested in a Gathering sometime this summer, seeing as "Tomash is around" is probably a decent enough reason to hold one?

- Tomash

I keep meaning to start that myself, but it's hard to find free time during the work week.

The mission I call Unleash Your Derivativeness is ready for beta.

Is this (taking some of the RP (or other happenings) from the Discord and posting it to the Board) something people want to see happen more often?

- Tomash

This bit of RP happened on what American Boarders consider last Friday evening. It felt like something worth posting to the Board. No one involved had any objections, so, without further ado, I present what happens when a killer robot, a sentient vending machine, and a pov walk into a pub (featuring a few other agents who show up later)

What's the strangest thing you've delivered?

I've met one of the people who worked on the play! (Incidentally, my little sister liked it a lot, at least, but again people have the right to their own views)

He was working as a script doctor for a musical my mom is working on, and he talked a lot about how what working with JKR was like.

Apparently the play used to be even longer--imagine that.

Anyway, that's my piece! No real battle plans.

It is, after all, not widely known, which does have a few benefits in our line of work.

Now, on to the actual question. About two and a half thousand years ago, from my perspective, there were several global catastrophes caused by various forms of advanced technology. As a result, an ancient tradition of mathematicians and theoretical scientists living in isolated communities called maths was ... well, the only thing we know conclusively is that it was revived, but, at the risk of starting an argument, I will say that it was forcibly reimposed. The avout, such as myself, who reside in these maths are sworn to follow the Discipline for some number of years. In the case of the millenarians, or Thousanders, the term is, rather unsurprisingly, a thousand years.

As far as I am concerned, the main drawback of the long term is that it is rather difficult to communicate results. However, to compensate, there were a few quite useful research programs we probably only managed to complete because no one could spread Sack-triggering rumors about them until after we were done.

There's now a trailer for the Black Panther movie and it looks AWESOME.

I'm gettin' on with men fine. Sure, some of 'em don' like me, but 's not like everyone back home liked me either. Helps we're on the same side, an' that I'm not lookin' to get tribute outta 'em, I think.

The elves, though. They'll say hello and all, but they're always lookin' at me like I'm about to take their heads off. Can't blame 'em for bein' worried, since we've been fightin' over something for a long time. Sure am glad they ain't tried to start anything with me first, too.

As your gift, have this replica of the One Ring, which allows you to speak with dragons in their own language!

You were a great Batman.

Welcome to the PPC! Do remember to drop your sanity by the door. I hope you like it here!

Have a grass ship for your newbie gift! It doesn't fly like Arya's, sadly, but it looks pretty. It's great to have another Inheritance Cycle fan in the PPC! (They're in short supply, as you pointed out.)
