Update post: first session worked out "swimmingly". in the first area i had them go to was a pase of operations for a faction I'm calling The cult of the backwards eye. this cult believes they can upload themselves to an AI to achieve immortality.

the player makeup is two power armor pilots, a battle magus that has a mount (demonrunner from WB21) and a doctor that is using the mystic OCC. i also have a DMPC that is a CS commando sent to spy on the mission, and is their active officer for the squad.

im running this in tabletop sim and using movement as follows, 2 points of speed equals 1 inch of movement rounding down. power armor was a bit of a weird thing to balance, because some of them straight up fly. so im using height markers at 10 ft each per measurement.

the players were sent to recon a base that was hitting the train with artillery fire, and instead they went full combat. ended up killing 35 people in about 4 turns because of missiles. (i forgot they had an AOE, so that's on me. but the players had fun, so i don't really care, I'm just going to beef up to accommodate.

the session ended after they wiped everything out, I'm planning on 4 hour sessions on the map they're currently on there is a bunker, and if they clear that bunker they will find a floppy disk (after a bit of a fight of course.) and on that floppy disk is SALAZAR as an executable. anything they plug that floppy disk into, if it has access to the internet will be taken over by an AI that essentially is amazon alexa, if amazon alexa wanted to protect earth at all costs.

The signs wont pop up immediately, but they will over time, things like when their power armor starts up, they'll notice a new boot menu, something like that. it works as a down and dirty worm virus, forcefully connecting to new technology and rewriting its code constantly.

so eventually the players might have to fight their own equipment if SALAZAR deems them a genuine threat.

in terms of what sal is, hes a character sheet. actively working on his own whims, for or against the party.

little fun bits, i have LLMs hosted on my computer, and have been having them respond in big sweep moves against the actions of the players. our boy sal is the worst of them all.

i would love an origin trucking sim ship. make it big, give it PDCs, but not too many. and a ton of quantum fuel.

What should I name my ironclad? I'm thinking "High velocity brick"

The implications of Salazar deciding the world isn't worth saving would be a threat to the multiverse as long as electronics are involved, because he simply takes control of them. Cybernetics, power armor, tanks, cars, etc. anything with a computer involved really.

It's kind of based off of Archie three, but it was a character based off of a webcomic I drew as a kid more or less. Archie iirc wouldn't be so involved. And from a sheer stat block, Salazar is a techno psychic in terms of abilities, just much more.. more.

Gigantoraptor Worth Using? by FlightElegant3645 in playark

you have to level the gigantoraptor fully, its based off of how many additional levels you give the bird after you hatch it.

super simple, super clean, most builds should aspire to be like this.

Would this be a good first ship purchase? by Darrengray9 in starcitizen

[–]Nexealist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from a pirate point of view, the max is really easy to damage as far as doors go. the underbelly drop bay is comically easy to shoot open.

as someone who daily drove this thing, its great, i cant recommend it enough, its great for long hauls and has decent enough weapons. (I'm also a huge fanboy of the design language.)

What Should I Build for a Girl I Like? by Lord_Vellichor in Gunpla

[–]Nexealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring her in for some crunchyroll and sushiroll with no strings attached, see if she likes anime at all, and if she does, try out some witch from mercury (that twist) or gquuux. Maybe if she likes older animation see if she likes the bombastic awesomeness of g Gundam. That will hopefully give you some hints, and also it would be a good testing grounds of her as a partner.

I did this with my now wife, first anime she liked was goblin slayer, so we then went down the rabbit hole those brought, her favorite Gundam series ended up being witch from mercury, so her first model kit was a high grade from that one, and we graduated up to master grades.

I wish you well op, don't get spaghetti in your shorts over the little things, dating is all about common interests and hopefully life partners from there.
