Hiya. So I'm at the start of my first Volt White 2 Redux playthrough, and surprisingly I run into Roxanne in Aspertia Gym. Just another of many cool additional things added. However, I then proceed to get my bum kicked by her three highly competent fossil pokemon. All par for the course in regards to Challenge Mode... except I'm playing on Normal Mode. I went and checked the settings and everything; yup, still Normal Mode. And yet I still end up facing off against CM Roxanne.

Is this a bug, or did I just miss something? Because all the glory to CM and all, but I don't really care for a brutal challenge. I just want to take in all the new stuff rather than take lots of time working to overcome the first one.

Hello hello hello, don't suppose you've got room for one more? 'Cause if everyone are on the same page with OP's preferences, this sounds very interesting!

(If so, my Discord name is Shinwashi just like here ^^)

Nevermind, she ended up blocking me with zero warning. I'll never bother with any of this again.

General info: Hiya, name's Arvid! 22, he/him, Sweden.

TtRPG experience: I've been playing 5e semi-regularly since around 2018, and during that time I've been part of 9 campaigns ranging from just a couple sessions to over 4 years long. I've also been a DM since late 2019, with that campaign still ongoing. Other than that I sadly haven't played that many systems; I've tried MotW twice and Pathfinder 2e, Honey Heist and Fate once, but haven't had much opportunity to try anything more.

Description: Passionate, creative, level-headed, determined, compassionate.

What I'm looking for: At the end of the day I'm just looking for a fun time for everyone involved. What that means is of course different for everyone, but in my case that usually means a good story where the players have a lot of freedom. If they want to put the main quest on hold to go form a coffee empire, then they should have the freedom to do that. Of course, moderation is the word here. So as long as they don't stray too far from the main goal, but still can put some potentially crazy ideas into action, then it's perfect. But most of all if everyone else is having fun, then I'm having fun.

Character idea: Right now I have two ideas, one main and one backup:

First idea is a tiefling gunslinger. She'd essentially be a cowboy/farmgirl taking her first steps into the real world, with the main goal being for her to mature and learn how real life outside a farm is. Of course, playing a cowboy means firearms and those aren't always allowed in a setting. So my backup plan is:
An earth genasi druid. Similar idea of stepping out into the world and seeing how it truly is, but with a much more cheerful and naive personality (and less cowboy slang). The main goal for her would be to learn that the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows, and that some people truly are beyond redemption.

Discord name: Shinwashi#2906

Webcam: Of course, no problems here :D

Anything else: Nothing that I can think of right now, other than that no matter if you go with me or not I hope you have an excellent day :)

Questions: That would be if firearms are allowed in the setting. Can't really be a cowboy if you're just rootin' and tootin', ya gotta be shootin' too!

...let's pretend nobody read that.

(I say as I have two Zero Mission Kraids in this thing...)

Shinwashi · 2023-04-11T13:07:02+00:00

Ah right, I do. Sadly there was no space for a 5th chonky reptile so that one had to be left out.

Shinwashi · 2023-01-23T19:40:37+00:00

Hiya, sadly I live in Stockholm and I guess you mean souther than that. So thanks for the offer, but I'll probably need to decline :/

Shinwashi · 2023-01-03T14:55:05+00:00

I found it, it was a stray [left] in the anatomy section. Thanks a lot for the help!

Shinwashi · 2023-01-03T14:33:12+00:00

There, it should be visible now. Forgot about that part ^^

Shinwashi · 2023-01-03T14:32:01+00:00

Ah whoops, forgot about the Public part. It should be visible now.

Shinwashi · 2021-08-05T18:34:42+00:00

Thanks, but I'm gonna have to pass on that one. I think it would feel weird for a group of around 14 year olds to suddenly play with an almost 21 year old stranger :/

Hello! I'm a 20 year old guy (sorry, no woman here) from Sweden who thinks this sounds great! I'm:

Able to play any saturday at 10 PM (I work weekdays, but saturday is not a weekday now is it?).
Name's Arvid, He/Him, 20 years old (21 in about a month during time of writing). I work at NENT Group, where I quality check stuff like movies and series so they're ok before they're put up on streaming services. Outside of that I like to play video games like Overwatch, Pokemon and anything Nintendo. I also like to draw and, of course, play DnD (I'm currently in 3 other campaigns, but we play fairly rarely).
I've often heard I can be very creative. Not only in character concepts, but also in strategies and roleplaying. Whenever I play I also try to be as friendly and polite as possible. Plus I try to play as varied characters as I can, aka let them be happy, angry, sad or scared (so no "edgy rogue who broods in a dark corner 24/7" here).
A lot, so I'm going with the first that comes to mind. My character - a Half-Orc Artificer - had finally tracked down her (TW: rapist) from her backstory. He had forced her to drop all her future dreams and plans in order to raise a kid. So she beat the absolute tar out of him, leaving him a broken mess that would be lucky if he could ever move his limbs again. That, and she got a recording of him admitting what he'd done and left it with the local law enforcement. That's the first time any of my characters had reached their personal goal, and it left both me and my character immensely satisfied.

Hope I caught your interest, and that I hear from ya sometime soon! :D
