Every day or half hour I suddenly wonder if Tumblr has content on a specific subject. I then seach and reblog that content for 10 or more minutes. That is how I function on here. Occasionally I will try posting "Original Content" but there's no guarantee.

Anonymous asked:

Since Christmas is approaching, I have a relevant question:

Did Egregorian Jesus die on the Asterisk for our sins?

I know this was just an attempt at an off-colour joke, but I'm answering anyway because it's a good jumping point for being genuinely informative.

Hercynian Christians are almost all Humans, plus a few Egregorians who would call themselves anthrophiles. They considered themselves Catholic, but the Union-Catholic church is still on the fence about recognizing them; there are two main reasons for this:

1) They still haven't canonized Saint Tellus, who is a central figure to Hercynian Christianity.

2) Hercynian Christians of both species consider the idea of an Egregorian Christ nonsensical, for a series of reasons I will not attempt to articulate here but mostly relate to the way our species "works". This is in contrast to Union-Catholic dogma which holds that each species would need a Saviour of its own.

made this earlier based on what was in the core book because i couldn't find anything more extensive/all in one place (hexes are confusing ~-~) (someone said the weird cones go 1-1-3-3-5-5-7 etc. so i went with that)

concept: a mild-mannered salaryman-looking man

he wears a grey suit, thinks paprika is spicy, would prefer it if we could all put the weapons down and discuss this like reasonable adults.

he pilots a Harrison Armories Enkidu. while inside of that mech he becomes a foul-mouthed cackling madman glorying in the bloodshed as much as the most punk-coded horus trans catear-modded razorgirl can be

but on getting out of the Enkidu he just straightens his tie and "feels good to get that out of my system." and is back to the most boring, union-grey person you have seen in your life.

the fact he's a lancer at all is mindboggling.

I'd love it if he never breaks that cycle, not even once. Perfectly polite and polished professionalism right until the visor comes down in the cockpit. The squad dreads the possibility or inevitability of him snapping, he just Doesn't. Ever.

Even when kidnapped or threatened, he just tries diplomacy or stalls until rescue. Kinda like that Road Rage cartoon Disney did forever ago.

jerry joins a dream askew table to prove that he's a good roleplayer after his ex-girlfriend calls him a 'trad gamer'. kramer tries to get out of being contracted to write a supplement for an OSR game after he realizes that the creator of the game is racist

george tries to get a slot on critical role when he realizes elaine is dating matt mercer's cousin. jerry gets caught fudging his rolls on a livestream. kramer gets into hot water with the FBI when his new dungeon module happens to have the exact same floorplan as the pentagon

"You don't add your GRIT to your attack rolls, Jerry! It's not used for any rolls at all!" "I add my grit to everything, George! It's in my HP, my heat capacity, my SP, why isn't it even in my checks? DnD has a level-scaling bonus, Pathfinder has a level-scaling bonus..." "It's because Tom wanted to keep numbers low, Jerry! He wanted to keep the system simple and avoid bloat!" "AVOID BLOAT?! Have you even SEEN the Pegasus license?"

Superstitions in the hangar:

  • It's bad luck to get the unit insignia on your 'mech shot off. It's extremely bad luck if, if it's a face or head of some kind, it gets a shot through the eye.
  • Burn, or at least thoroughly wash and swap for another, any pilot gear you were wearing in a 'mech that got destroyed. Metal-death sticks deep.
  • In certain units, you have to address your 'mech by its full serial code until you've had your blood spilled on it. (Shrapnel, glancing shots, purposeful sacrificial incisions, however you do it.) Only then do you give it a name.
  • Any 'mech that uses fire as its primary weapon has to face inwards in its niche or bay. (There's a reason for this one. Backing out is tricky, and any obstacle that can be put in the path of burning people to death, people generally try to ensure is.)
  • Never gamble in the hangar. Not even flipping a coin. You don't want them learning to leave things to chance.
  • No sleeping in your cockpit. A 'mech's interior, in superstition, should not be your comfy spot- otherwise you get too relaxed, and don't stay as wary as you should.
  • If a 'mech got a pilot shot out of or through the cockpit, keep said cockpit open whenever it's not in action for at least a week. Make sure they've had time to pack their things out. Then keep it shut for a full night, in some traditions with a last packet of energy gel or similar outside it.
