/vx/ - Videogames and Paranormal

Now with less salt!
The party has had a good talk, after nearly ripping its self to pieces. They may still rip each-other to pieces, but in spite of it all the Game will go on.
The nerd and his pet are still in the stadium, kind of like in vidya RPG's where the villain is clearly occupying a particular space but the player wanders off to do side-quests and meta shit.
The tower had been filled with frogs, salt, and vitriol, but all have been cleared out and things seem to be leveling out, as both players and characters sort their differences rather than figuring out how to cause the GM to have an aneurysm or go an hero on the whole thing. Also there's kittens.
Whew, this is what you get when you mix games and the paranormal!

Welcoming new players, and raping welcoming back the old ones, itt continuing the RP Game threads. It's largely classic D&D 3.5e, but only as a baseline of rules and details and such. With every session something gets tweaked, added, pissed on, or thrown out the fucking window. We're right now introducing a new character, so anyone interested is welcome to follow along.

Previous bread got moldy fast. After killing Korak and his pirates and thus gaining a Galleon-class ship, the party settles in to a relatively peaceful afternoon/evening which is certain to be entirely uneventful.
Except for Godzilla over in the stadium.
Welcome back to the Game. New players, lurkers, or w/e are welcome to non-disruptively comment or inquire. Right now the party is divvying up the swag from Korak,....

This session promises to be,... I was gonna say out of the ordinary, but that's ordinary for this continuing Game. Blah blah, this is an RPG thread, blah blah, new players welcome.
Lets get to it.

Quick Rundown:
This(these) thread(s) started as an experimental attempt to determine whether a D&D type game could be possible over an anonymous imageboard. The results have exceeded my wildest expectations. During the week, these threads consist of game meta discussion, shitposting, bants, and more shitposting. On the weekend its on, and its something far more intense than standard pen and paper; I'm still trying to figure out all the aspects and elements.
New players are welcome at any time, and with that let me tie up the previous questions.

Nevermind that, I was trying to help you get the unicorn right away, but its gone now.

First off, you're BOTH wrong. Its an Archmage, but no one outside the Archmage knows that so spoilers.

Just because a race or species is listed as 'Outsider' doesn't mean they cannot migrate to other planes/realms.
>inb4 Trump says something about going back or w/e
Additionally, these factions (there are many, above/beyond the ants) have been written into the story, have been there the whole time. The ants were part of all previous 'boots' of the story, and have had successful and beneficial relations with several iterations of the active party.
The travel ban on outsiders limits those who's home is/remains any of the outer planes from entering willfully OR being summoned from interally.
Meaning, it is impossible to summon foreign ants from their home plane, but one can readily interact with ants 'from' this plane.

The scroll will come up in the future, its relevance has to do with a particular location which will be obvious after inspection. As for the potato, I'm sure he will never be heard from again. Ever.

And with that, the Game continues.

What is thus madness? Am I losing my mind?

This thread begins the next segment of the now blatantly obvious Game threads. known to some faggots as the 'gay bath house'
3 weeks have passed in game time, and Port Barry is largely rebuilt and restructured, though evidence of previous battles are still observable in the architecture, walls, etc.
The people have grown stronger, emboldened by the party as their benefactors, and have taken to Football and the message thereof with great zeal.
Any players wishing to join need simply announce themselves and will be beaten included at the earliest ability.

And so, to a degree neither the players expected - let alone GM - the Game continues.
Players have the next 9 hrs to declare intentions, aspirations, interests. questions, etc.

Sechs VeirSeibnen - pre-emminent of Port Barry

More to come, this begins another appendage of the Mixed Nuts Game.

I found this article very intriguing:

https://mlpforums.com/topic/45643-symbolism-in-mlpfim-and-hidden-knowledge/

The tl;dr is that MLPFiM contains many elements of Masonic esoterism, based on Kabbalah, Egyptian sacred geometry, and Greek Pythagorean cult geometry.

I'm not talking about just the pyramid eye or isolated religious symbols (both of which ARE found in the show, funnily enough). I mean a deep connection which leaves me no doubt that the writers intended to connect these concepts. If I hadn't been studying these topics separately from MLP, I wouldn't be so confident. However, when you look into the sacred geometry of the Masons and their near-worship of Egyptian and Greek cult geometry and mysticism, the same concepts appear very clearly in MLPFiM.

For example: the Elements of Harmony appear directly in the Pythagorean mystical geometry cult of ancient Greece, and even in similar crystalline form! Masons referenced this cult's work constantly when building parts of major cities such as Washington DC and Paris (more of a rebuilding in Paris' case), and when building various religious structures and Masonic temples around the world.

Furthermore, Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark is a fascinating study, with close links to the Merkabah (3D analogue of the Star of David, considered a primary energy structure in Egyptian and Greek cult geometry).

The link I posted at the beginning discusses these two topics and many others; and this was only in the first two seasons! In addition, interviews with the creators have revealed that they are explicitly encouraged to work mythology into MLPFiM. Between this knowledge and the overwhelmingly clear correlation with the esoteric research I've done, I am convinced that esoterism has played a key role in developing the world of MLPFiM. I am working through the series now and will be keeping an eye out for further connections.

If anyone has more information on this subject, please share.
