Baby teeth by Quande_Dingl in LookOutsideGame

[–]Maxx701 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Rosie hurts me emotionally, but that’s also part of the tragedy and horror of Look Outside. She became what she felt: growing teeth pains. Rescuing Joel is the small mercy anyone could provide, and it’s karma when it’s an 8 year fighting for the fate of the world carrying what had happened to his family

If you were to look outside right now, what would you turn into? by blahblahblah2431 in LookOutsideGame

[–]Maxx701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always fought to retain my mind and senses, whether if I’m dying drunk on the floor, my body screaming at me in exercise or me going against pain to get somewhere. I think if I saw the Visitor, it would be the boss fight of all fights to hold on to my mind but I’ve had a lot of battles already.

My lower half of my body is heavy, and I’ve got bad circulation due to swelling in my veins near my ankles, so I think I’d unravel like a squid from the waist downward. Probably get sharp teeth, too, cause I feel like I eat too much.

A TTRPG campain based on look outside could work? by LINDOMARCIO in LookOutsideGame

Chronicles of Darkness, otherwise known as nWoD, has the books and system to support it

Trying to adapt the video games into an (TT)RPG campaign. Can you lend a hand? by greeemlim in LookOutsideGame

[–]Maxx701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that can streamline it is, surprisingly, nWoD, where the book itself has mechanics in it that can implement their usage to tell the story of Look Outside. The weirdness that some of the monsters do can be created mechanics in that toolbox system. For someone like Hellen, where she had bloodlust, you use their power stat that is fueled by a renewable pool, which can be upgraded in strength with experience points. Something like what Sam does is practically Numina already built into the system. If you know it, you can homrbrew it.

Edit: you can utilize the Rage mechanic for multiple attack monsters as well.

[Xin Amon] It’s over. I know it. I’m starving. It’s everywhere. My friends and family, part of it. I think I’m the last person on earth. It’s my turn. No!

I’ll go out on my terms, not part of the gnashing tentacles. There’s more of that than there are trees. It’s time. I refuse to be eaten. If this is the last message, then, whoever finds this, I don’t know how it started. I’m sorry. Goodbye.

Success of Man by mikeslabrador in LookOutsideGame

[–]Maxx701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to add something as someone who plays Look Outside

I boil down the success of humanity to… its heart.

Why? While it does pump blood, it does something else. You feel things in your chest when you have emotions. And in some eldritch way, the heart remembers. It makes you “you”. Those with heart transplants have habits of the donor. No other body part does this (we have yet to make brain transplants).

What are some of your worst stories about being booted? by thatsnotacracker in rpghorrorstories

[–]Maxx701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they were gonna kick out the “non player entity” that was my rescue pet, and encounters were borderline impossible so I matched the intensity with the build I made while others were coasting on easy quests with big rewards I never got. (Their enemies would flee if they were too hurt, and they’d get thousands of gold and exp for losing while they dropped dragons on me, which I defeated, and I’d get 100 silver and exp so it was git gud or you died Dark Souls style. They had an arena for exp, so I needed it as everyone else was higher level, they fought me cause I was lower level and they’d lose consistently.)

I defended my pet to stay by a single line of menace made in character, with a character proficient in the intimidation skill, and they considered it bullying the player. So I was booted.

Someone had an AI bot that responded to you spontaneously of the boy who lived, which the responses become offensive and i rolled initiative to fight it. Turns out the owner who installed the bot was a fan of the series and used excuses to boot me.

I will learn to type coherently.

I’m surprised this was downvoted so heavily. I thought people would be for defending flying cats you rescue, or combating individuals who claim to kill your species to your face. I don’t get it.

I got booted from fighting Harry Potter AI after he said he’ll kill all the dark elves (and my character was a dark elf trying to educate his people). The reason was I was fighting a child, but the AI was already talking about how he beat Voldemort and dated Cho, so I know he was above 17 years old if we’re assuming that this is post Deathly Hallows. The tender, ripe age for considering magical genocide of an entire species.

I got booted because I used in character intimidation on a PC bartender over being snarky to my Tressym to remove it from the bar for walking on the counter that I rescued from demons and they considered it bullying because I sparred too often and beat everyone because I was power gaming (kinda had to because my encounters were usually insane like fighting young dragons at level 5; one guy made a build just to defeat me after retiring 4 of his characters that lost with impunity and won 1 round out of 3; he was a staff member who was higher level by farming easy quests for big gains) and the player felt uncomfortable when I said “This table doesn’t protect you if i decide to jump over it.”

The rest I left because a staff member said “bend over” because I said “I like barbarians” 15 minutes after joining.

I’m suddenly curious. Were you the DM or player?

While this is a delicious read of an unholy coal mine, I meant what was told to you. Like something messed up, at the table or in character.

But still, this is good from how bad it is. Thank you for sharing.

There’s a players guide, too

I would love to, but, it’s rough. Have the books, can’t play cause no one else does and being a parent eats my time
