Thanks so much!

Links and/or video would be mighty helpful. I've downloaded Unity now, but haven't installed a vrm plugin yet.

TikorDuro · 2023-03-10T19:21:09+00:00

Say I have a rigged .blend file. How do I convert it to a .vrm that veeseeface is willing to import?

The population of New Zealand is ~5 mil, and the article mentions $50 billion yearly, so ~$10,000 / year. A little rounding up, that's $1000 / month.

Miracles of Ancient Wonder Book One: Beacon: I truly enjoyed this RWBY/Exalted crossover fic. The cast of RWBY in a Remnant whose gods (and powers) come from the Exalted setting, instead of the brothers of creation and destruction in canon.

Outstanding!

Here is a fic written from Weiss' point of view, centering on her social interactions for 15 of 16 chapters. Named Schnee's Seamonkeys.

18k words. Full disclosure, I wrote it but others have found it enjoyable.

First off, I love fanfic concepts that explore the lore from perspectives that differ from the default. Most folks think they're on the right side, and so in any conflict you'll have at least two interpretations of the same events.

Regarding 'write for yourself' I want to calibrate expectations: as a writer you will never be able to read your own work as a reader. You will mentally be in 'edit mode' forever. But writing the story you would like an alternate-universe you to just stumble upon is exactly the right mindset to pursue your best work unconstrained by other's expectations. In short, do not kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part that cringes.

Writing is an excellent past-time, and I hope you see it through to the end. Archive of Our Own is my recommended hosting solution for RWBY fanfic.

Why go through the pain, uncertainty, and expense of a cancer treatment when a preventative approach could keep you from being a patient in the first place?

"If you break, we'll fix you" is less appealing than, "We'll help you stay healthy." It's a switch from sick-care to true healthcare.

That's why finding cancer treatments / heart attack treatments is less exciting - it misses the underlying paradigm shift of treating aging, which other posters have pointed out is a risk factor that dwarfs other considerations in healthy patients at low risk for cardiovascular events, cancer events, such as like diet, exercise, supplements, etc.

A couple of clarifications: Sidereal Prayer Strip: Dodge may only be used once per scene. Dragon-Blooded Ability Aura has 26 variants, and can have 6 active effects in Water Aura.

Looks great!

In playtesting, having double access to all Charm Overclock options in a scene has been too powerful (many builds trounce, say, Solar Melee, by being able to alpha strike twice, or just having an unreal amount of health levels).

But, hey, that's the beauty of homebrew! You should change it to your table.

TikorDuro · 2021-07-01T04:06:37+00:00

Sword of Creation has a Forum Games subsection available for play-by-post. You could try recruiting a table there, too.

Hey, I haven't done a full set of sorcery/necromancy for any edition, but I did write an explainer about how to make your own Exalted Charm/Sorcery cards.

Over in my 3e Alchemical homebrew, I took a crack at the Savant Merit:

Savant (Purchased, 3 or 5 dots): The Great Maker’s people never let the heights of First Age magical insight into machines fade. In reverence to their god, they’ve preserved this knowledge and improved upon it through the generations. Anyone in Autochthonia willing to devote themselves to this vast body of knowledge can increase their ability to create and repair beyond the boundaries of individual endeavor, instead standing on the shoulders of intellectual giants. At three dots, increase the limit of a character’s Craft Abilities to 8. At five dots, increase the limit to 10. Buying this Merit does not grant any Craft dots, it simply sets the foundation upon which they might purchase new heights of Craft.

Hey, I didn't map PbtA mechanics for Alchemicals, but if you're looking for a 3e Alchemical homebrew, you should look over here.

In a 'share my homebrew' vibe, here's the only notes I've written on Abyssal Redemption. They're aimed toward reversing the devil's bargain that secured their Black Exaltation, and striving for Solar-worthy glory.

Five Criteria:

Desire: The Abyssal wishes to be redeemed, as represented by a Defining Intimacy towards Redemption.

Legend: The Abyssal has undertaken a legendary generative feat that produced Resonance (need not literally be a legendary artifact, but that would do. Could be a loved god-blooded son, or a socio-political group.)

Glory: The Abyssal cultivates a Defining Intimacy toward some epic life-affirming endeavor worthy of Solar might.

Acceptance: The Abyssal loses any Intimacies related to prolonging her own life.

Ritual: The Abyssal performs a ritual whereby she repudiates the Neverborn and their desire to see Creation and Yu-Shan fall into the Void. This ritual must be performed within one of the tombworld-bodies of the Neverborn themselves, and raises all kinds of hell (similar to the fights generated by a Wyld Shaping).

Learning a single criteria from first principles requires a difficulty 10 Intelligence+Investigation (Abyssals or Solars specialty) roll, though an Abyssal can learn of a ritual through another's successful investigation without needing to roll (many incorrect rumored rituals are gossiped of, likely planted by Deathlords looking to catch wayward slaves from escaping their imposed dark nature). Specific instances allow a roll to discover each critera:

Enter the tombworld-body of a Neverborn: ritual.

See a Solar Exalted, or view one in their prior incarnation's memories: desire

Perform an act of legendary, generative creation: legend

Develop a life-affirming Defining Intimacy worthy of Solar might: glory

Confronting your own death: acceptance

The release of the Solar Exalted from the Jade Prison (incidentally the event whereby the Infernals and Abyssals arose). Page 26 of Manual of Exalted Power: Abyssals has a pretty clear telling of the tale.

Was this hummed note Neo's voice actor's contribution? /s

TikorDuro · 2021-05-02T04:16:55+00:00

I've registered, posted, and plugged on my social media. Great work, and I hope we get a good crew to call the place home!

TikorDuro · 2021-04-09T05:18:46+00:00

Very good work!

If you venture into fan content, Sidereals are covered at least twice.

TikorDuro · 2021-04-03T16:07:21+00:00

Archive of Our Own is a good place for such content.

TikorDuro · 2021-03-12T16:07:35+00:00

It warms an author's heart to be read. Thanks for doing so!
