I've yet to really play any sort of tabletop/DM'd game but I'm 105% ready to learn!

BEHOOOOOOOLD!!

*shrieks happily*

I am so excited for this! :D I've been waiting for this movie for so long. Aiie, 2017! Thoughts?

Thank you. That's even better than I was hoping- I'm really, very, extremely (continues in that vein for longer than is strictly polite) pleased with it.

Two hearts on the key? Now you point it out, I can't picture the heraldry of Doktaru any differently. That's beautiful.

(Ix- why am I not surprised both of ours rejected being fit into half the space?)

Ner black, rena silver: canta nastar alta tera, golden spikes; canta miri, silver stars; indil in fore, the full moon; indil in back, royal blue circle, filling the field.

Sometimes it's nice to do a relatively simple+geometric Alvish design. This has definite shades of Gil-Galad and Thingol.



I'm actually quite pleased with the impalement; the silver leaf-tips filling in for the stars is my favourite part.

Sable, a chief enhanced argent, a wolf sejant argent between thistles proper, a key Or between thistles inverted proper.

I've simplified the blazon slightly with strategic use of 'between'. The chief is enhanced, which weirdly means 'shrunk'. And the key just so happens to display a pair of joined hearts... ;)



Now here, I've just plain cheated. Splitting the arms down the middle wouldn't have worked, and there's a lot of stuff on both shields that would reject being compressed into half the space. So I went with a vertical impalement.

Interesting facts I learned today:

-If I had done the impalement properly, it would be reversed from the normal: the standard is for the left side (from the viewer's perspective) to be the male shield, the 'shield of most honour'. In this case, however, Lady Iximaz is a baron, and absolutely gets that spot.

-Unrelated but charming, in 2014 the College of Arms issues rules on how to impale the arms of same-sex couples. ^_^ (They each get a shield with their own arms in the position of honour, and their spouse's on the other side. Unless you're a woman marrying a heraldic heiress, in which case you're just a pain in the neck, aren't you? But they still have rules for you.)

But I'm a little apprehensive. I haven't played a tabletop game since my first group four or five years ago, and I've never played online before. Not sure how well I'd do with text. Also a bit unsure how my computer would handle Roll20, though that probably wouldn't be a problem.
Maybe I could hang around for the first session, test the waters a bit? I dunno.

Also, in a somewhat amusing coincidence, I dreamed about making D&D characters last night. I have no idea why, but I did.

I kinda lost interest in writing a few years ago, but the PPC helped pull me back in. Plus, it helped get me interested in the first place, even if I never got anywhere with it the first itme.

I volunteer as tribute!

(I'd like to think I'm not terrible at voice acting.)

to the Department of Technical Errors? Half their jurisdiction is grammatical messes. {= ) They also cover anachronisms, faulty logic, and other inaccuracies. The department's creator was a big Pirates of the Caribbean fan, so most of the missions are Suefics in that fandom, but not all of them, and there's certainly no reason the department should be limited to Sues, if anyone's interested in a different sort of challenge.

If not, Mara and Isaiah are worth a read anyway. {= )

I love Pathfinder, but I am in a couple games already, and I'm not sure I really have the time to commit to another one.

Also wondering - would we be communicating by voice or text during the game? In my (limited) experience, text tends to slow the game down significantly, but voice is more chaotic and I doubt everyone would be comfortable with that.

I actually could see the mission working if you approached it less from the premise of Sue-fic and more from the premise of grammatical mess. That's a good point to make; while I get the sense that most people focus more on bad characterization than bad grammar and spelling in their missions, it's certainly not mandatory. Or perhaps I'm biased, as I tend to avoid badfic that's completely unreadable on a technical level.

As for Wobbles, the pointy face is intentional. The horn, however, was not; she's an Earth pony in her disguise.

We will be seeing these in more detail in an upcoming mission, along with strange and unnatural occurrences in Canterlot. Stay tooned! =]

My favourite powerset is undoubtedly Shaker, but Tattletale is deffo best fox. =]

Dunno why they don't program it to say 'The game's over,' as opposed to accusing you of getting the password wrong and saying Error with a scary capital letter.

Because it sounds awesome, and kind of reminds me of a nickname my mom had for me when I was little.

P.S. One reason I found this mission extremely entertaining is because Charlotte is reminding me more and more of myself. I get super excited about things, twirl, slip pickup lines into conversations, wheedle people into dancing with me, and all that. Also, this is 100% how I would go about seducing someone.

I have waited much to long.

That's just me being a dingo. Sorted it, though. Cheers for picking them out!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Sources say no, and the password is Plort
