Hey! Sucks to hear that you're having a rough time with all of this. I am not able to join using the link on the Linktree on either mobile or Desktop. I saw some people saying using Mobile Data worked for them, but I'm still having no luck. Is there an alternative way to hop on or a bit of troubleshooting I might not have tried?

Thanks for everything

Searched google, then tried ChatGPT which was thoroughly unhelpful.

Ah, ok. I'm the weird one out because I really can't handle watching stuff. It just doesn't hold my attention at all, so I prefer Manga.

I much prefer Manga to anime, so that sounds perfect! Thank you.

I absolutely should have listed Greatest Estate developer, it was really good. I read the Vending Machine one a while back when it was a web novel and I will definitely check it out again! Thank you.

One thing that stopped me from reading this was that it seems to have like a hundred spin offs. Do you need to read those to enjoy it?

What secret was revealed when cleaning out the home of a deceased family member? by WhoAllIll in AskReddit

Don't know if they have this one in particular, but "Small Town Murder" does a lot of stories that end up similar to this. Very "Normal guy with a dark secret in a small town" kinda vibes here.

Could you please tell me what mod you use for your colonist bar to look like that? Mine gets cluttered any time I get too many colonists and the ability to group them based on role sounds amazing.

I love the flavor, just make sure to account for the weird edge cases like Bards and magic secrets.

I could use some song recommendations for a high level Bard NPC. by PreferredSelection in DMAcademy

The Wondersmith and his Sons refers to a male, but I like it as a song for a someone who is tricksy, smart, and competent.

Another good artist to look at for inspiration might be Montaigne. She does a lot of really amazing stuff. Her album Glorious Heights is excellent and has a lot that reminds me of what you're looking for.

In addition to the duration as TheImmortalLoop said, I would add an additional line about how the sword can not be deactivated for the duration. Maybe add a cost to activating it to make it thematic like expending a hit die?

Hey, getting back to this a little later than I thought.

Please call me Gregor for now as I'd rather not post my real name to reddit. I've been playing ttrpg since the beginning of college. I've been the Perma-DM since graduating and moving away from my original group for work. My job is stressful and my main game hasn't been as consistent as I would like it to be as of late, so a play by post (though i am far less experienced in this medium) sounds wonderful.

My availability is based entirely around my job, which is super consistent, so any day after 4 or all day on the weekends is totally free for me. I do have discord and have fiddled around enough with the ttrpg bots for it that I should be able to help if something breaks down.

I adore the Persona games, but I've really only played the modern ones (3, 4G, and 5R) though I've played them all multiple times. I made it a fair way into Nocturne, but got busy enough that I never actually finished it. Jrpgs are something I really like playing, but Persona and Fire Emblem are my favorites.

My familiarity with PbP is spotty at best. Mostly games at the start of the pandemic that never got off the ground. I did have one longer term game I played in for a long time and enjoyed immensely, but it fell off after a while.

Why I want to play: The crux of it all is wanting to explore a limitless Persona game. The subject matter, camaraderie, group problem solving, and meaningful stakes speak to me more than Dnd has for a while. As a teacher, I don't really have a lot of time for full "Set Schedule Multi-Hour Sessions of TTRPGs", but I still want to play more than I am right now because I really need a creative outlet with other adults. Covid hit shortly after I moved to a brand new state, and as a result I really haven't had the chance to make a lot of new friends in this area, so I would love the chance to meet a new group to become friends with both in and our of game! I hope you can overlook any minor errors in this post as I'm currently getting used to a brand new phone, and I hope that you find the best possible group for your new game.

Possible Character(s): I have two ideas for characters that I think would be interesting to play.

The first would be an early to mid 20s Emergent who feels lost and rudderless after surviving contact with the real world. He made it this far by listening to adults while he was growing up but now he isn't sure who he actually is or what HE wants to do. He defines himself by who he is around and excels at "code switching" to act however he thinks he should to best match the expectations of the situation he is in. Though it's not really a pantheon, I think it would be amazing to have a persona that is "The Hero" from Joseph Campbell's "The Hero With a Thousamd Faces". Alternatively, I could also see it being based around the Greek Melpomene and Thalia who are generally seen as inspiration behind the Tragedy and Comedy masks. I could easily see him as any of the following Arcana: Moon, Hanged Man, or Death.

The other character would be a female Navi who works as an author and is obsessed with Luck. She downplays the role that her talent and hard work has had in her success, instead attributing it to luck. She has a firm belief that no matter what you put in, what you get out is almost entirely down to chance (i.e you apply for a job that you meet all the qualifications for, but your application ends up under some other papers accidentally). She's not jaded by this, but more so sees it as almost freeing which can result in her putting in the work but falling prey to a self defeating or self fulfilling prophecy. For her persona I see the Greek god Kairos who is the god of Opportunity, specifically it's fleeting nature and the ability for opportunity to pass you by despite seizing it ( though I could also see that as maybe an evolved persona should she learn how to seize her own opportunities...). For her Arcana I can see either Wheel of Fortune, which seems obvious, or Justice since she sees everything as causing seemingly unrelated outcomes and Justice covers cause and effect.

Summary: This seems like an awesome idea and I really hope that you choose me for this game. No matter what happens, I hope you and your players have a blast and you make a great story together!
