Announcements / Prelude: The Cote of Corpulence
July 06, 2022, 06:28:55 AM
I'll be running a one-off prelude on Friday, July 8.  All classes, alignment, and races are welcome besides Recondite, Mongrel, or other non-awakened PCs.

QuoteSome awakened are lucky, and land in the closer rings. Where food is plentiful, men free, the sky bright.

You are not one of those awakened.

You woke up in the mud, dragged out by iron collar around your neck. You were thrown into a cage by cruel, hard-handed men, who branded you with a number and threatened to cut the tongue from your mouth if you screamed. And... you were fed. Endless streams of barely edible gruel. And then, one by one, the others began to disappear, once they were fully fattened.

Perhaps there is hope, still. Perhaps you can escape this dark place, somehow. Kill your captors, and flee inwards. Or, perhaps, all will fall.

Throwaways are welcome, but please tell me in advance if you do not plan to continue your PC.

Announcements / 'Till we're still
June 29, 2022, 01:20:55 AM

By victory or defeat, by choice or inaction- the time to decide the fate of the Recondite nears. In the coming months the final events of the recondite will begin to unfold, one way or another. Due to their increased presence around the city, certain former secrets about them have become far less veiled and have entered common knowledge. There will be a number of choices in the coming period that will determine the outcome of coming events, many of which time sensitive. Be aware that in the events to come, failure to make an action will become an action unto itself, on either side. If you would like to attempt to organize a event specific to this ongoing plot, please message me on discord with a vague idea for what you would like to attempt to do.

The recondite remain available to create freely in a non-app fashion for now, but be aware accessibility may change over the course of the summer pending player actions on either side.

Announcements / Website and Forum Disruption
June 13, 2022, 12:06:29 AM
Hello!

We are currently in progress of some major maintenance of our forum and website. Access might be spotty or non-existent at times, and as before- there should be no data loss, but taking some light backups of stuff you cannot live without is never a bad idea in case something goes terribly wrong.

Please do not message us about forum/site outages for the next bit, chances are we are already aware and they are intentional!

Salty at #efu-main?

Feel like #efu-main decreases the amount of fun you have on EfU, but want the ability to use the rest of discord?

Cant stop poking the moderators with sticks and getting QCed?

Have I got the opportunity for you!

Zenmain. Just go to #channel-membership-requests, type !join Zenmain*

and main will simply... cease to exist, as if it never were. The rest of discord will function entirely normally. You may read sendings, chat in faction chats, even view player events. You lose not a single feature for playing EfU!

Want main back for some reason? Its easy, too. Just return to the channel and type
!leave Zenmain*

and main will return.

Announcements / A sudden chill in Ring 97
December 08, 2020, 09:29:34 PM
QuoteIn Ring 97 a cold wind blows in, carrying with it billowing storms. Snowflakes begin to fall, and muckboys complain loudly about ice drifts in the canals. The great trashfire sputters and cracks, billows of black smoke growing tame. The less dedicated of the possessionless ascetics find thick clothing to be suddenly within their supposedly non-existent budget.

But above all else... something strange happens in the factory of the toyfolly. A great whirring of gears, shouting, complaints. The ever-constant billowing smoke from the factory stops. Angry toyfolly gnomes run this way and that across the ring, and the familiar stocks of toyfolly equipment across the city grow lean.

Meanwhile, the snow continues to fall...

There will be a seasonal winter event on Sunday the 13th, beginning at 10pm UTC.

Announcements / Prelude: The Woodlands
September 10, 2020, 01:37:11 AM
This Sunday, I will be running a prelude. This prelude will likely be PvP heavy, and only one PC will survive this prelude. Those participating will receive level 5. The winner will enter the gameworld with a reward, but there will likely be no further direct plot ties. Throwaways welcome.

Announcements / A small note on the Recondite
August 23, 2020, 09:30:05 PM
Starting when this post goes up, simple approval from any DM is needed to roll a new Recondite. Any DM can give you the green light, so hit us up on discord! This is largely just to encourage players to contact us with their concept first, and give players a chance to ask any questions of the lore or conventions before rolling, it should be a largely simple approval. The number of recondite at once isn't really limited, unlike the winespills, so don't feel put off by existing characters at any time! If you do not have discord access for any reason, always feel free to submit an application instead.

Thank you!

General Discussion / EfU VOD Archive
June 06, 2020, 12:12:47 AM
Players with the streamer role may post links directly to VODs of previous EfU event streams here. Please include what the event was (More detail is better, but no more then a sentence), the date it occured, and a direct link.

Announcements / Large Ticker Event
May 25, 2020, 06:46:18 AM
At 1pm MST on Sunday May 31 there will be a event for Ticker Square centric PCs.

See you there!
#10
This coming friday, I will be running a prelude. The exact details will remain quiet, but you will be given early access to a new subrace and association. This prelude will likely lead to a hard and PvP heavy life. If you are interested, please shoot me a PM on discord to discuss it. I'm looking for a relatively small number of people, for the moment, who are interested in playing a long-term serious PC.

Announcements / Hello, EfU
March 13, 2020, 05:31:11 AM
Looks like my number came up, and I've been snatched away behind the screen.

Got a good chunk to learn, so I'll see you all IG!

Well. Arbiter Ashenforge was my first "major" character this chapter, and I put a lot of work into him. Both receiving huge chunks of mechanical advice from many players, taking mechanics a lot more seriously then I usually do, and trying to drive an elite faction character almost exclusively by player initiatives. I thought it'd be fun to try to bring as many people into the orbit or opposition of the Arbiters as I could.

Getting started:


Deep Plots:


Did... Did you just blow up the cube?


As is tradition, Loot. But because I'm an utter bastard, no stats for you:

Was a fun time. I'll see you on the next one.

Suggestions / Paid Necromancy Tokens
January 19, 2020, 10:57:19 PM
For a similar price as buying the craft wand feat, it'd be cool if perhaps anyone of a spellcasting class- eg bards, wizards, etc- could buy a single 1/day animate dead token from the bonecollectors. To allow a broader arrangement of necromancy concepts, and enable a wider variety of necromancers. This'd leave them still inferior to more dedicated necromancer concepts, but also enable more morally questionable characters to dabble in the occasional animation.

It appears if a player casts unravel inside a discovery, it currently creates a honeypot, where people can still enter, but the exit just leads to the location of the unravel Seam. Trapping both the unraveler, and anyone who followed them in, until next reset.
#15
As a high-pvp faction, it'd be nice to have an area where casters could safely practice PvP without risking angering nearby NPCs. It'd also allow for more "training" roleplay moments, and generally just fit along well with the militant theme.

Suggestions / Ring 100 Keys in the Ringrunner shop
January 23, 2019, 09:43:35 PM
It'd be really very nice if, for a reasonably high price, established PCs could buy an easier access from ring 100 to ring 99. This would ease three things:

1) Guide PCs who help the newly awoken, encouraging them to interact with fresly rolled PCs and show them around
2) Easier access back into 99 after a safe respawn, now that that's the "new" corpse clear.
3) Further establish "Keyrich" as a thing that is visible and obvious to the PCs around one another.

Screen Shots & Obituaries / The Failure, Karl Brandt
November 12, 2018, 12:39:11 AM
I will not fail again. I will be the beacon that leads the lost to shore.




Quote
DM Shout : From deep within the bowels of the caverns, there is a great and terrible rumbling...

DM Shout : Intense light pours from even the smallest cracks, its glow otherworldly and pure...

Karl Brandt is easily the longest character I've ever played. A half year is a long time to play a character, and Karl had his ups and downs for certain. But as far as good PCs go, I feel like Karl was the fullest exploration I've yet had. Which is funny, as he started out as a LN character with a very  dark past. Slowly, and through a great many twists and turns of plot, Karl came to be one of the longest standing keepers of the Fount, and pursued that plot for a long time, culminating in the disappearance of the fount.

Thank you hugely to everyone who made this character an amazing ride, particularly Dingledar, who made an amazing rival.

The Spellguard has withdrawn from Sanctuary. Bereft of care, maintenance, or guards, we are told Sanctuary slips deep into urban decay. However, at the moment, despite all this Sanctuary still feels surprisingly bright and hopeful. I think a few small module changes could go a long way to making people want to spend as little time in the decayed Sanctuary as possible

  • The abandoned watch house suffered quite a bit at the hands of the ooze, and bandits, immediately after the withdrawal. Some rubble, and left over ooze, might make the place seem more blown out and ruined.
  • The Grotto has suffered many, many fireballs on its premises, as well as rowdy pirates, countless murders, and one very angry troll. Some burn marks, destroyed tables, and dimmer lighting may bring it closer in line with the destruction poor Smeed has had to put up with.
  • The high houses above Sanctuary are, likely, largely vacated by the rich for Final Sanctuary. Perhaps the gates could be thrown open, and the area inside shown to be looted, with those classic ever burning fires thrown around.
  • Sanctuary itself is overall a dimmer, scarier place to live. If made darker, the residents may have to take to carrying around torches to feel safe in their own streets.
  • The construction center, a very bright and hopeful place in general, might be boarded up or abandoned.
  • Finally, it would be interesting if the muggable NPCs that currently only spawn outside sanctuary were perhaps brought inside Sanctuary now, leading to conflicts as the less-well-intentioned bully the poor and destitute of the now abandoned Sanctuary

The Servants of the Council of Dragons



Concept: A host of men claiming to come from an organization above calling itself the "Council of Dragons" and "The Last Army" has found itself down in Sanctuary. Hopelessly foreign to Sanctuary, and driven fanatically towards their goals, they have begun to recruit initiates to their cause.  Seeing themselves as the sole beacon of light and good in the corrupted city, this has increasingly become a high-pvp prospect, despite claiming neutrality in the cities politics.

General Alignment: Lawful, leaning LG

Well. Cant say I didn't earn this.


Lloyd, the lovable flamboyant giggling bastard agent, is dead. Lessons learned: Never kill Stanger's lover and mock him for it.


Regrettably, most of my screenshots are massive spoilers at the moment, so I'll just leave you with this glamour shot.

Thanks to everyone who played with me on this amazing PC, it was a ride. It ended earlier then maybe I planned it to, but I cant say it didn't end awesomely.
