The guides help, as long as I can find an example. The autoSort and lastDie were trial-and-error… and luckily I looked back when I thought I had figured it out but the code failed. That’s because you should not use quotes on the true condition ("lastDie":true,).

I think the character sheet’s format is coming out okay.I might add a bit on what to do when you level up. That should be generic enough that I can copy-paste and change the color of the hearts.

At Level 4, for example, Toony Girl will choose one:
• add a 🧡
• get a 🔑 to unlock a 🔒’d ability

Speaking of which—@Ysolde have you ever played Thirsty Sword Lesbians? If so, and if you’re familiar with the Nature Witch, one of the unlockable moves is heavily inspired by her spell, which is in my opinion, the best move in any TTRPG I have ever played. Maybe it’s more my interpretation of what the move does, but anyway…

…this is a move I used to turn gravity sideways, and also used to affect a lake so the water was breathable but not swimmable, and the air over the water was swimmable but not breathable (just for my character. A Nature Witch would not want to accidentally drown innocent woodland creatures, and not just because they were excellent informants in that scene). I think a cartoon character taking control of the cartoon world would be able to do this—effectively, rewrite one law of nature.

The starting move will still be a Dexter-to-Space Ace sorta thing, and I think a Time Gal type move will be the other move. I like the idea of pausing a game to cheat (move while the enemies can’t) as a limited-use move. You can’t hurt paused enemies or break paused things, but you can sneak away. And I suppose a simple manipulation could be allowed since Time Gal did defeat Laughing Guy by rotating his swivel chair during a time-stop.

@Ysolde


I updated your sheet. Leveling instructions will eventually follow.

But if you want to play around with your character sheet now, you’re Level 3. So you can do the level 2 and level 3 thing now.
• Level 1: rename TOONY GIRL.
• Level 2: add a 🚨 or a 🧡.
• Level 3: add +1D to 🕹️, ㊙️ or ☢️.

@Legendary_Sidekick the failures were interesting. I was not at all surprised that at the very end of the game she danced around in her bikini top. Some things are just extremely ingrained in video games. I would complain but as a sapphic I do have some appreciation for it too.

Oh and I played the game but not that class. I really want the keys now though

Oh good. I want you to want the keys!

I managed to write up players 1-4. Hopefully I can finish tomorrow.

@FlyingSucculent I’m quite proud of the graphic for P4! Being a fighting game character, Kicky Girl has the only item that requires a die roll. The 👠Outrageous Heels moves are a combination of two stats, meaning at game-start, Pira will roll 4 or 5 dice for her button-mash attack.

I made tweaks to Peppy Girl and got started on Spacy Girl. The item is called the "team rocket," and prior to unlocking anything, you get a flight instruction manual.

Since the instructions are for everyone, there’s a field to add in the names for other players.

Sheets look great! :D

Reloading might be difficult to optimize. If reload is only available when there are zero rockets, how would that work with turn order? Let's say we have 🚀🚀 at turn start. Casanova and Pira both boost for 🚀🚀, making it 0 rockets. Does this mean Diamond and Thundra can reload now, or will they have to wait for next turn? Or can Diamond reload and then Thundra launch a missile?

I suggest when we get to fighting, everyone posts current number of 🚀 at the end of their posts for easier tracking.

My thought is to do like those old shooter arcade games and have a big obvious sign:
RELOAD

We’ll have to see how the rocket ride plays out because y’know, theory and practice. But the intent is to make it impossible for the engineer to spam the ship-repair button.

You’ll only have a 🚀 or 🚀🚀, and possibly a third later. So pilots, gunners and engineers all deplete that supply by one 🚀 every time they press ☢️.

The pilot may need to move very fast at times. The gunner might need missiles because Pinky is overwhelmed or there’s a giant robot whose hull is made entirely of mirrors. (If Space Ace and Time Gal taught me anything, it’s that even an end-boss should not shoot a laser at a mirror.)

When you need to reload, it takes the full round to do that. In my head, I’m picturing a girl struggling to move a huge cartoony rocket. Thundra handles it with care. Fairy Girl sprinkles pixel dust to float it into place. For whatever reason, it takes any character just as long as video-game-logic forces you to… well, you get the idea.

So anyway…

• Round 1, you use the last 🚀.
• Round 2, someone reloads (or two people if Casanove increases her max 🚀s to 2).
• Round 3, someone can press ☢️ at the cost of a 🚀.

I have no idea how this will play out but my hope is that you’ll all come up with a strategy or communicate as a team. As GM, I’ll be responsible for tracking HP and items.

So yeah, they wait until next turn. Two people can reload in the same turn, since you’ve established that you have 🚀🚀 max in this example.

You then need to wait yet-another turn to use the new 🚀s.

Sounds like it's going to be a long flight. :0 Well, I'm up for it! Though team tactics in PbP is a tricky thing.

Sorry for the random week of unavailability, if things kick off before I'm back then I give my copilot, Pira, full control of the captain!

Not a problem, @Tickettbror. I’m honestly enjoying giving the game an update. I was getting a little annoyed that Thundra is easy to hit, whereas if Sparkle were here, she’d be nearly impossible to hit. On the player end, I imagine it must be frustrating to not trust your character (P1-P3) to land a punch—especially if you do the math. When Thundra missed her 3D attack, there was less than half a percent chance of that (1/216).

The update means everyone has a 56-81% of rolling at least a hit, so you can expect a majority of the rolls to land favorably, but not all. For my posts, the only time I’ll tell you how to DEFEND is when an attack should be either impossible to block or impossible to dodge.

Examples: most attacks can be blocked or dodged, so I expect you to roll whichever has more dice (or an !, if the dice are the same). A Full-Screen Fart-Cloud can’t be dodged, so you gotta BLOCK your nose. A steamroller cannot be blocked, so in a GM post I’d say,
M. Kangaroo fires up his Steampunk-Punkroller—he’s gonna run Pira down in the parking lot!
🕹️DODGE to get outta the way, Pira!

I feel like that sounds better than "roll 1D antihero." And also, denying you a block-or-dodge choice has to follow some logic, like a steamroller is believably impossible to block. So you know I’m not just being a dick and forcing Pira to roll her dump stat.

Magic and Shoot both use the ☢️ button, so if you want to cast harmful magic, press Shoot and narrate a fireball instead of an arrow. It doesn’t matter to me whether your characters use fist, blade, arrow, laser, magic or thrown-flaming-car. (Except only Thundra should throw a car with the Shoot button.)

@FlyingSucculent,@Dmbrainiac,@Alepous,@Tickettbror,@Ysolde

Qralloq has expressed interest in playing fairy girl!

Also, I would like to make this game public since a lot of people have asked me about it.

Definitely keep the downtime RP up… I want to polish those character sheets and move them to the creation thread before we start Level 3 proper.

@FlyingSucculent I updated your character sheet code so you can rename the moves. (After you copy-paste the code exactly as-is, please.)

You have a ground kick that works well as the ㊙️☢️ special. The wave punch works as the 🕹️☢️, and the aerial kick should replace the legendary sidekick (🕹️㊙️).

Please enter the code as is (though without erasing the parts of the character sheet you wrote), and edit the parts of the sheet with gray underscores.

I mean like these parts:

…but on your sheet, you can also edit ability names. (It’s a separate field from the lock.)

There is certain language on the roll table that must remain as-is, such as the word "ATTACK!" where your special attacks are. An yes, those need to remain below the Abilities section. Please don’t rearrange anything.

Thanks for the invitation 🪄 ✨. I'll have a read through the level 2 thread to get an idea for posting style and then submit a character sheet for my fairy girl.

Qralloq! Fancy seeing you here! From eldritch horrors to fairy girls, ey? :V
Here is my usual response for when private games I'm in become public. I don't mind it in principle, but I play private and public games differently, so I'd like a permission to hide parts of my posts in notes (to all players) if I feel uncomfortable about them being public. I don't think it's likely to happen in this game since it doesn't have a focus on horror or relationships between characters, yet still I'd like to know that I can do it if I want to.
(And I'm certainly hiding a bunch of OOC posts.)
Will do once I'm on PC, mobile copy-pasting is a major pain. XD
Is it fine if I keep my avatar in a second column alongside stats/roll table (like it is now)? It shouldn't break anything as column tags don't affect the order.

Ah, let’s keep it private then. I don’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

@Dmbrainiac,@Alepous
Your sheets are completed, but I’m sitting in them because I need to tweak a couple things.

@Tickettbror I’m going to alter your char-sheet so Team Rocket can be edited (to Pinky, of course). Kicky Girl naming her moves and Spacy Girl naming her ship are important features.

Well, I will be comfortable if I know that I can hide some parts if needed. :D But I'll leave it up to you.

So what about the avatar thing?
