I'm not entirely happy with my post, but it will get us moving. -
It wasn't the lack of a couch that had the captain tense. It was a conflicted memory of what had been a good evening with the younger pilot and the goddamned salute. She knew she shouldn't be, but she was still hurt. Tears were useless though, and thee Captain had long ago learned to substitute anger. She took a long, slow breath and exhaled. Magda relaxed into the gently undulating coils of Scylla's nerve tendrils. "It's fine Lt. Kehrer - I ride bareback too. I never liked the couch and neither did Patune." The captain knew Scylla couldn't hear her directly, but anything Emily heard, the BioFrame would hear. "It's okay Scylla, you can do what you need to reach Emily." She felt the thick tendril slither between them and rested her head to one side of the lieutenant's spine and Scylla's main neuro bundle. Her temple rested against the tendril, but Emily's tank top separated them. "This good, ladies?" It was strange, riding in the low light of Scylla's nerve center but with no direct input. The captain was traveling blind folded and could hear only the soft, set squish of tendrils and flesh. The Emily lit up the sensor array and a disconcerting crackle of incomplete data sparked along Magda's nerves. She tensed reflexively but had been synched to BioFrames sinve before she was born and knew no good would come from her pushing back. "Go slow a sec, Lieutenant, I need to get used to the way Scylla's bleeding." Magda leaned her head against the tendril between the women and her cheek against Emily's bare shoulder. Patune was tactile and the slight contact with Emily's skin proved grounding enough to work with the more steady flow of data pressing against Scylla provided to keep the bleed from strobing on and off. Magda meditated, concentrating on keeping her breathing sloe and regular, her mind empty. She labelled each stray thought to dismiss it. Her bleeding back in would be disastrous. There was a reason there were no dual piloted frames. ☆☆☆ Major Magnusson caught a glimpse of something moving through the tumbled rock and fissures of the mountain side, but nothing read on her Frame's sensors. it didn't make sense. @WickedCadrach what do you do? I'm going to rule you notice the Hive BioFrame. How much information is Magda getting? @Icarian Dreams after we get Emily and Scylla sorted, what do you do? (I need a way to @ the characters rather than the players)

I have read it and I loved it. I have slept on it and reread it and continue to think it's great. I think you're being hard on yourself. I have a private rp I need to reply to this morning, but I'll get a Magda/GM combo platter up this afternoon or early this evening.

I have never thought of that as a bad thing. Especially not when we're writing for fun. I haven't read it yet, but I assure, it's fine. It's the first post with a new character, in a new location and it's opening up a new view on the world. There is bound to be a lot of expository writing that's impossible to tie together neatly. The fiction will offer us a way for Cassie to join the Union, I'm sure of it Now, I'm off to read it.

Mine might play this. One lesbian at the table, but her adult kids play, so things might get weird. The kids did play Bluebeard's Bride with us though...

I bought a copy of it but have been on mobile, so I haven't read it yet.

LycanGoddess preference
WritesNaughtyStories reviewed LycanPrincess's preference in Roleplayer Preferences
Fun, steady replies and lovely little details. I'm always leery of partners that have a set stable of pre-existing OCs because they're so often treated as canon characters I should know, but that fear was completely unfounded. Glad I saw her status update and reached out.-

Ok, so somebody thinks a lot like us: https://anxiousmimicrpgs.itch.io/girl-frame Lesbian pilots of living mechs called frames.

I sometimes wonder if it's an instinct to "win" that requires us to create frameworks that encourage us to make interesting narrative choices. In any simulationist game we could make fun and interesting choices based on who the characters are rather than the tactical puzzle. But it's often the tactical puzzle we engage with rather than the story we could build if (when) we engaged with the motivations that create the tactical puzzle. I like that we're finding ways to spur our attention to the story and making that the puzzle to optimize.

Let's, just for the sake of the story, say you can't hear their reply. He wiggles his ass but it's hard to tell if he's trying to get free or inviting you. -
When it's played in a particular way, the simulationist games can develop emergent narrative from what happens, but they're often used to string fight scenes together, which isn't that much fun. For stringing fight scenes together something like Feng Shui is a much more useful tool. I'm curious to see Cortex in action as it looks to me like it builds narrative with it's mechanics in a strangely granular way. Apocalypse World builds its stories in a similar way, but is far more loose with its structure.

Thank you, Izzy!

I think Granite being a pretty standard Lion class makes sense. Patune feels big in the fiction, so maybe he's a Taurus. I don't think he actually walks upright though. His picture gives him a very ape-like appearance, so I think he knuckle-walks which kind of conceals his size a bit. Rolled for the new kid, and they're 12m.
-
I don't know it well, but it does have a small, but VERY dedicated fanbase. Why run it over 5e? Because 5e is done to death and it's only OK.
-
I think this works well. So, what are our impressions of who we know? Patune Granite (unnamed new kid) I feel like I'm leaving someone out. Flora pilots Granite. Is there another BioFrame I'm forgetting or do I just have a skewed sense of out population?

forum game We listen and we don't judge

Sad? She was 90 and had been racking back cheap scotch and sleeping pills in doses that Bon Scott couldn't manage. Ol' girl won. -

I thought mine had accidentally killed herself with booze and sleeping pills. Turns out that decades of booze and sleeping pills was not the culprit. Heart attack. -
I don't know, honestly. There's bound to be a fair degree of variability because of the Kaiju DNA. I see that as fundamentally unstable and rapidly mutating. I feel like the Hive tries to control the instability with only moderate success. The mechanical components are probably much more standardized. Which is kind of exactly what Wicked said. On meeting Scyllia - she's TINY, 8m if she stands up, which it doesn't feel like she does often. Most are closer to 20m (or that's what I remember, @WickedCadrach do you have a clear memory of that too?) Since she's sneaking up the river, she'll be hard to detect, but roll Notice.
-
@Icarian Dreamsget your interview squared away. This can wait until after you get the job. Once you have it though, no slacking off here with "learning my new job" crap, okay? More seriously, @WickedCadrach has given a succinct sitrep. That's why she's on recon.
-
@Icarian Dreams, there's a pretty good opportunity to jump into the fiction with Magda and Emily coming down the mountain and up the river right now. We can sort out a Trouble later. It's pretty common practice to start a Fate game with a pretty bare-bones character and build them out of the story. I'll hold off for a day or two to give you a chance, but I don't want to lose too much momentum.
-
I think it's about getting effort and agreement with austerity measures..Increased mandatory work hours, unpaid overtime kind of stuff. ---- As for the Trouble I can see how a Compel on Disillusioned Hive Cadet doesn't say anything very different from I Wasn't Born A Rebel. I Wasn't Born A Rebel points at your understanding of Union culture and mores quite specifically, but it's, as my mother was fond of saying, a distinction without a difference. What's a Trouble that speaks to you?
-
They're numb, not stupid. "We are being destroyed." Is an emotional argument at its most powerful, but it is an intellectual one that can be used to reasonably justify defending oneself. I have suggested all of these at one point or another. They all have equal merit in my eyes, whatever suits you most. She's your character, who she is and how she came to be at the outpost is up to you. What I know is there was no response to the Kaiju from the outpost and there is not more than one Hive frame there. There are no walls, no turrets - nothing in the way of defenses. Emily and Scyllia made a thorough sensor sweep with pretty good rolls, so the data they collected is accurate. After the fight a small force of Hive BioFrames showed up and lost one frame to Strike Force Delta Foxtrot. As long as what's happened in the fiction already remains true, whatever you want to be the case in the outpost is up to you. On the High Concept and Trouble, I think you're right, but I had it in mind that you were thinking of changing the high concept. Perhaps Disillusioned Hive Cadet is an approach to High Concept that points to an elite background and military competence (though you could argue Promising might replace Disillusioned) and leaves Trouble more reasonably I wasn't born a rebel.
-
I think I have a good idea for Trouble: I wasn't born a rebel It gets to the heart of being a little alien but dedicated to where she is while hinting at the cost of that choice. I have a lot of questions about the set up. I like the idea of you being put here on purpose, but why? It's possible she doesn't know, but then she probably doesn't know it's a death sentence. If she was here for the first Kaiju attack and ran to her BioFrame but it wouldn't come on explains why there was no defense by the outpost. But the Liberation Union stopped the Kaiju and didn't attack the outpost. Did she see any of the Hive news coverage? I'm sure command explained the frame not activating as a glitch with it not being connected to the outpost's security network or something, but does that jive with what she saw? And then the reaction force attacked the Union, lost a frame but that's all anyone knows. She was there, what happened after? Did they stay to reinforce your one lone frame? If they didn't, is she beginning to think it's a set up? As for Hive politics - and what it means for how I run the game - I have been mostly using a crush focus on this lone Union Strike Team which means I haven't given Hive politics much thought. I'm not sure I want to zoom out but I don't want miss out on an opportunity to have an interesting antagonist. To that end, name the commander or exec who targeted you and why. If the Union successfully takes the outpost, that person will be targeted for execution and flee to the wastes and have a very personal vendetta. My hope is this will give us an interesting antagonist - without me having to write thousands of words of exposition to lay high society intrigue.
