Yes, you start with zero, and gain rage during battle. When you use your rage, the flames burn out. (And if you see any ❄️s, that’s cooldown!)

Your rage-o-meter maxes at 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

I love the art for Pira! She really does look like my character! (Approved, of course!)

No I meant the antisprite roll mentioned here. I don't understand what it is.
Also rolling the exact number is gaining insight?

Thank you! :D I tried to give her design my own spin while also paying homage to the original. And I wouldn't be true to myself without adding an animal (or plant) motif~

Rolling the exact number means you can team up with someone who also rolled their exact number.

(I’ll call attention to this the first time it happens in game.)


But that won’t be possible until you somehow wind up in the same game.

I still don't have explained what antisprite is

What is 🔥? How is it used? how is it gained?
Where are these rules coming from? They weren't on the sheet we were given.

What is the "Into" is that just flavor?

If you mean you don’t understand why you would roll that, it may help to point out why you would roll antihero.



Hero is rolled to attack a villain; antihero is rolled when a villain attacks you. So an anti- roll is your reaction.

…

Sprite rolls are never attacks. They’re either magic (fire wall, icy floor, lightning to jumpstart a car, healing water, etc.) or movement (leap, stealth, dance, roll past axe-swinging statue, etc.). Antisprite is rolled when you enter a place that opposes either of these things.

You are correct that a fairy shouldn’t be bad at defending against magic. That is NOT what antisprite is.

Antisprite is a roll you make when you’re confronted by something that feeds off of your magic/fey-ness (an antimagic field, a cold iron cage) or impedes movement—like a powerful wind that impedes flight!

While Pix can dodge crossbow bolts far easier than Thundra the Thicc, which of the two would fare better against a hurricane? This is the sort of situation that calls for antisprite. Does that make sense?

But getting hit on an antisprite roll means you’re hindered. Like sprite, antisprite is not meant to inflict damage.

It’s just for Pira at game-start. She will be a regular "Lv.1" character after the whole party is in Hero Girl Sprite.

You’ll get a power-up as well. (Also temporarily, like the way you have 💛💛💛💛💛 for health right now, but are supposed to start with 💛💛.)

Yes. I originally had "Info" on a scrap paper and I misread my own handwriting as "Into." I liked it better that way.

I also originally had "From" instead of "Game" and just changed that to make an acronym. I couldn’t unsee FIRL.

Out of curiosity, will these "power up" mechanics make a return after we progress in the main game?

Yes. I was purposely vague about it (because I didn’t want to explain everything at once), but…



…power-ups were always the plan!

(I didn’t originally plan on giving you a taste of high-level power-ups, but it seemed like a good way to try out different kinds.)

Oh yeah, I saw that line, although I didn't connect it to the rage thing. Good to know! We're gonna be 🔥 someday. :D
PS: fun fact, my PC browser can't actually display the heart symbols for two of the players (it replaces them with unknown symbol icon, so it doesn't matter mechanically, I still see their number). Must be missing a font, or maybe it's a browser quirk. Phone sees them though!

Apple has more ❤️ colors than my work computer. I guess you see the red and yellow, but not pink and light blue.

Yup. My phone's Android, so they seem to be on point with their palette game too; ah, the joys of different platforms.

I'm on Android and the colors match my computer...

So you see all four types of hearts (💛🩷❤️🩵) on your PC, PhoenixScientist? Interesting! Wonder if it's really a font thing then.

Whew, you all were busy this weekend! I will try to catch up later today. :)

@dmbrainiac, I just approved Thundra. So seeing you have the character ready, I’ll plan on posting in the afternoon. EDIT - morning!

I’m off to a funeral, but as I took the day off for that, I’ll be freer than usual this afternoon. Feel free to ask questions.

If you botch the code, but still roll d6’s, don’t re-roll. It’s not a problem for me to figure out the result manually.

@phoenixscientist, once you get a character for Pix, I’ll edit the prior posts so you post as your character. No rush… whenever you find the image you want will do.

I was hoping your vision of the fairy world would drive the power-ups you get (it did!—better than expected!), so I already have a wand for you! Your post gave me a couple other ideas too..!
