It doesn't look like the mermaid had a starting coin on her sheet, either.

I can see them. I would also appreciate the coin being swapped out. A brief description of Murasaki will be coming shortly!

@Tickettbror Approved!

@Eltesla Fixed, including the Snippets!

@Dmbrainiac , I owe you a coin!!!! You, uh… had that coin the whole time! (fix’d)

Thanks!


The polite, taciturn hermit master who knows more secret moves than one could fit in a library. For as long as the nameless master could remember, she has meditated endlessly deep within a cave. Never moving, never stirring, not even when the nukes hit. She never questioned 'why' until Lacey came along to recruit her into the Bombshells. She realized that the world was out of balance, and for the first time, she was possessed with the alien desire to leave her cave... and fight. She needed a name to go by, so she decided on 'Murasaki'. Though Murasaki knows countless secret techniques, she is far less versed on what the world is like outside her cave, so she relies on her teammates' knowledge. She's recently managed to wrap her head around the concept of a phone.

@Eltesla Nice!!! I think I should add threads for each character (and I can move that post after I do that).

@Dmbrainiac , I goofed on the phone version. (Both sheets were identical other than the red telephone emoji!!!) That’s fixed now. Do you want me to swap your sheet to the phone version?

Nah, it's okay. I can work with this version.

I submitted the mermaid version of my character. I'll write up a little blurb later on.

Okay. But let me know if you change your mind. It occurs to me that with two characters, you could have both kinds of sheets. The avatar would matter more for the post-as, while the sheet type might matter more when you have to roll.

@Eltesla,@Tickettbror,@Dmbrainiac,@Totes_McGee

I added a subforum so you can post anything you want about your character.

Also, feel free to jump into the main thread when ready. If someone posts before Lacey, we’ll assume the Shoe Phone has a Speaker Phone feature. (Or we can opt to assume not, and everyone crowds around Lacey while she’s holding her shoe to her face.)

And for incoming calls, the NPC pays the toll. I have no idea who is actually getting paid. This is what I love about inserting video game logic into my games. I don’t have to explain stupid plot holes. I can even flaunt them, as if I didn’t overlook something, but put a lot of thought into how it adds to the flavor. (What I do find hilarious is that none of the other heroines have phones, and their emojis don’t wear shoes—which accidentally adds a layer of silly logic: well of course barefoot and fishtailed characters don’t have phones!)

@Tickettbror ,
Here’s a fad that will survive the apocalypse 965 years from now:

I'd forgotten about them! Perfect!

How does combat work? Is there initiative order? How do I do the "special effect" rolls?

Ah, I knew I forgot to do something in the Tutorial Fight: the tutorial part!


Okay, I’ll do that here.

Initiative is just a matter of who goes first:
• Heads: the bad guys
• Tails: the good girls

I flip that coin.

You won the toss, so every player gets to post before the bad guys go.

I suggest you use the Roll Table to roll.

You can ATTACK:
• ㊙️ = fight
• ☢️ = shoot

Or you can use one of those 👠Girl Power moves. You roll 🕹️ or ☢️, and you can even post the snippet that tells how the move works.

Note that the Shoe Phone depletes Girl Power when you use it. You can delete that on your "screen." (Also, the move that you spend Girl Power on always works, but has a lesser effect on a 💢MISS.)

@Eltesla , of all the possible first attacks, you picked my favorite move from any beat-em-up:

The Flying Knee



Only a heroine who knows all the secret moves could possibly know that’s the best possible first attack. Well played!

@Tickettbror,@Dmbrainiac - One major difference between this game and H•G•S is that (for now), you get one action per round.

The only thing I will add to that is
Trust me. I know what I’m doing.

I didn't even know about The Knee, but I'll take it!

On another note, if I wanted to pull off a Hadouken, would I use 🕹️ Secret Move or the ☢️ Nuke button stat?

Since it’s a ranged attack, the Nuke button.

Got it.

I decided to throw that into the main thread. Lacey and Gemini still get to act before I have the bad guys hit back.

@Tickettbror @Totes_McGee
I’d like to move this scene forward, but I’ll wait another day.

If I do end up (occasionally?) moving combat forward—which I’ll likely do if the wait is 48+ hours (72+ over weekends)—I’ll usually try to make the battle fair overall, either counting your next successful attack as more damaging or nerf the enemy attack. I’ll avoid botting, except when I need a defense roll or (re)action from that character.

Oh, sorry, I don't know why but I thought I'd posted in this!

Been a bit of a weird week, but I'll get something up tomorrow for sure!!
