seconding, with the plan to knock her out and not kill if negotiations go south.

Just an interjection; I ran a quick simulation.

If we're still going by a 6 is a crit that adds darkness, that means we have a 60% chance of a crit every time we use a 5d6 attack. It's 42% for a 3d6. That seems a little excessive.

>>29032082

Yeah, I've been concerned about that. We racked up a massive number of shadow tokens last thread, but it's now like we're going to be playing truth or dare EVERY day to collect them.

>>29032131
More like we just need more time between fights to actually GET Shadow Tokens.

We just need more downtime/slower pacing and more build-up to the fights. Something Humility has been working on.

Agreed. That's going to be a largish problem in the near future.

>>29032176
Only a patch on the real issue... if you remember the menu we got when levelling up last, notice how increasing power seems to add even more dice and more darkness? Either we need a way more efficient way of gathering Shadow Tokens in general (ie: more than once every few choices at random... ways of intentionally picking up multiple STs at a time, say...) or maybe a way of more efficiently trading STs for Darkness points. Perhaps we should chat with the Dark Voice about offering IT a core?

>>29032909
>Only a patch on the real issue... if you remember the menu we got when levelling up last, notice how increasing power seems to add even more dice and more darkness?

That's actually not much of an issue at all right now. The crit rate of our rolls is so high we don't even need to increase our dice pool by much to keep succeeding. At least not with our current spell list. It's not really much of a problem in the near future, at least.

>Either we need a way more efficient way of gathering Shadow Tokens in general (ie: more than once every few choices at random... ways of intentionally picking up multiple STs at a time, say...) or maybe a way of more efficiently trading STs for Darkness points. Perhaps we should chat with the Dark Voice about offering IT a core?

This I can agree to, though. Darkness Vent fucks with our roll average too much to be viable to fix the burst issue and would require just as much if not more Shadow Tokens to utilize properly. We need more ST.

HUMILITY, when you get back, might want to link the thread on twitter

>>29033125
Second.

I'll be honest with all of you, I am drunk as a skunk right now and had to retype all this shit at least three times.

I'm in no state to run, but I want you to know, I've been looking into the 'way too much darkness' situation and been thinking on it a lot. The best I can offer is the Darkness Vent6 system, which makes it more a choice for when you take in darkness for power. OR I could eliminate the crit system entirely, and replace it with the willing overcharge system from Magical burst with a different upgrade.But I am way too wildly inebriated to set either in stone right now.

>>29034767
Darkness Vent fucks with dice roll averages too much and considering our DCs it basically leaves the shadow token issue exactly the same since we'll need more of those to get decent rolls. Not sure how willing overcharge works but that sounds like ST's without needing to save up beforehand. Might be a good strategy but I think it'll basically make darkness build up too -little- of a problem. You might just want to change from the best of 3 system.

>>29034767
Best QM ladies and gentlemen

>>29034767
and I am too sober to understand any of that

anyidea when you'll run next?

>>29034929

Greatness doesn't come from those who set out to do something epic, but those who lift the shattered remains of those unable to stand under the pressure of their intended grandeur and carry it forward as something all their own.

>>29034767
Willing overcharge would work if you adjust the number of Darkness needed for Flares, Changes, and etc because you'll probably be seeing a lot less darkness build up that way.

>>29034767
Maybe increase darkness thresholds for changes and everything else, and give us some natural darkness drain over time, like 1-2 per day or something?

>>29034959
I have no idea.

Essentially, I live with a houseful of dudebros, who have made it their task to make me as sociable, fuckable, or drunk as they possibly can. Nice guys, but they abhor me staying up here and doing my shit alone. My landlord understands when I say "I got shit planned, man", but the others really, really don't. I don't hate them, but they have played merry hell with my schedule online.

Let me ask this - if you had to decide whether 6s were bursts, would that help? As it stands, a burst is essentially a 12, not a 6. Thus, you would still do fine without them, roughly, but you would have more trouble.

>>29035005
>>29035087
Either of these would work. Adjust Darkness thresholds to higher and keep the system, or make the threshold lower and use willing overcharge.

>>29035112
That might work, or what these guys are saying:

>>29035005
>>29035087
>>29035087
>>29035123
Just change the threshold for flares/changes.

>>29035112
So an Introvert stuck with a bunch of extroverts huh?

>>29035155
Pretty much. I don't mind being sociable - I'm fine in either environment - but I don't like abandonign things I start, and this is no exception. I'll see about talking the guys into cutting me some slack sometime.

So here's the ideas.

>Darkness vent with reduced DCs - Each DC reduced by 3ish with muted returns for no possibility of burst at all
>Willing burst, that is, rolling as is, with selecting "This 6 is a burst" with same DCs and rules for burst.
>Keep things as is and adjust burst levels higher for each teir.

>Willing burst, that is, rolling as is, with selecting "This 6 is a burst" with same DCs and rules for burst.
I think this is the best bet. We can choose whether or not we take the extra damage and the darkness that goes with it.

>>29035220
Willing Burst or adjusted tiers sound best to me.

I'd probably go for adjusted tiers simply because both Darkness Vent and Willing Burst will slow down combat a lot as people try and decide if they want to burst or not each turn. Much more streamlined.

>>29035220
Eh lets go with wiling burst

>>29035220
>Darkness vent with reduced DCs - Each DC reduced by 3ish with muted returns for no possibility of burst at all
It solves problem it had before but it's still a less appealing option compared to Willing Burst

>Willing burst, that is, rolling as is, with selecting "This 6 is a burst" with same DCs and rules for burst.
The guy saying choosing when to use it has a bit of a point. We roll a lot of 6s so every combat action will most likely be a multiple vote thing. Not a horribly big deal but if people are especially divided it could take a while to get to the next update.

>Keep things as is and adjust burst levels higher for each teir.
Probably the simplest way to solve the problem. If the pacing adjusts to keep us out of fights long enough to get more than just 1-2 STs per fight it would work. Though higher level enemies and longer fights might break the fix.

>>29035461
Big fights are meant to be big risks on multiple fronts. So I think I'll go with the last.

1-8 Vent, 9-18 temp change, 19-30 permachange, 31 - 99 Blast, 100 + surprise.

>>29035553
Probably for the best if you want the big fights to be a risk in the Darkness build-up aspect of things. With Willing burst we'd probably just stop bursting and spend all of our ST in a long fight unless we had no other way to win.

>>29035461
I would like to make another suggestion:

Increase the size of our dice, and the DCs accordingly.

This maintains the same system, but reduces the amount of bursts we get.

>>29036057
You mean roll like d8s or d12s or something?

>>29036149
Not that guy, but I'd start with using d8s instead of d6s if you tried this, make small changes and see how it changes things.

You wouldn't have to up the DCs by too much, just a couple points.

>>29036242
Eh, it could work. But it sounds like a lot of adjusting and experimenting. Raising the thresholds honestly does seem like it'll solve the problem a lot simpler. If we're in a fight that's gotten us 19 darkness then I think we've seriously fucked up somewhere along the way and it isn't the dice's fault at all.

>>29036242
33% increase to DC's

>>29035553
speaking of which are our cat features permanent?

>>29036305
Temp.

>>29036305
nah we only had a level 10 burst or something. They are temp.

>>29036305
We only had 6 darkness. That was a temp change with the old system.

>>29036343
What *is* a vent, anyways? Just, nothing?

>>29036380
we do something the darkness wants. So far its been all lewd.

>>29036380
It's Flare, not Vent.

Remember our first fight where we basically got locked in to choosing a lewd thing with no other options after dropping the Jacket?

That's a Flare.

>>29036380
I think it's a "do something lewd to clear the building." like kissing Cassie right after the first fight.

>>29036291
No, that doesn't work like you think it works.

The average roll on a d8, not counting bursts, is 4.5. Average on a d6, not counting bursts, is 3.5. Counting bursts it's 5.5 and 4.5.

So if this is tried just raise the DC by 3 on things. It seems like a good point to break even.

It gives a slight advantage to higher ranks of Stats than the old system and punishes low ranked stats by a bit, but it's not all that much. Bursts will be a bit less common, double bursts even less so. But they'll still be common enough that upping the thresholds might still be needed.

>>29036443
Granted, this isn't taking best of 3 sets into the calculation, which will futz with things a bit, but I don't feel like mathing it out right now.

Raising them a bit more might be worthwhile.

>>29036493
I personally don't think it's necessary. I'm honestly fine with the burst build-up now that we've got more breathing room with the higher thresholds.

>>29028697

Temporary. Which means two threads-ish.

Keep in mind the system currently assumes about 2-4 bursts a fight. Unless you intentionally build Darkness by staying in Jacket (Which a few Girls actually do) you have little to worry about.

I also have to really thank anons for the massive support I've gotten for this quest. It's the largest thing I've done with other people so far, and I have to say it's been a fucking (heh) blast so far.

As a reward for your support, criticism, and un derstanding, have a minor spoiler image that should have appeared this thread, and some flavor.

Magical girls/boys are emotionally driven. All their magic, or at least a majority of it, is based on simple, if powerfuil, emotions. In exchange for this simplicity and lack of scope, they can Burst, making them very powerful in the terms of how much Darkness they utilize.

Magi, however, are more logical. If I used this system for them, they would roll d10s instead, without bursting, and have way more categories and points to spread among them. Atropos, seen here, deals in Heat magic, for example, and has a Skill in that of 4, rolling 4d10. Spells can be taught between the two, but DCs remain the same, along with the Spell mechanics. So while it's easier for a Magical Girl to burst the few spells she knows to enourmous might, a Magi has many many more spells with a smaller focus, but greater overall success and less power.

If the Magical Girl is a drag racer, with the incapability of turning or adjusting, a Magi is a muscle car, slower but more accurate and versatile.

>>29037208
Magus seem pretty interesting, though considering that they're basically the Kyubeys of this setting they're probably not very nice.

Am I the only one who's very okay with the current system? The severe burst penalties and things you have to do to get Shadow Tokens really show how dangerous being a Magical Girl is not just from fighting monsters, but just the dangers of yourself. It'd be a great tool for a Magical Girl Noir Quest with us slowly becoming mutated beyond return or turning into a hedonist to keep the darkness from seeping in too deep to do our job.

>>29047678
I'm pretty sure the whole point of magic in this setting is that it kind of comes at a high price and is hard to control.

I wonder if we can dispel whatever Adrianne's doing to our friends with Heart magic.

Casting Haste on ourselves with a Shadow Token so we can get three turns to cure everyone might be a better strategy than just trying to beat her up and get them away from her. We'd also turn this fight from 1-on-1 to 3-on-1 in a single turn.

>>29047910
Yeah, but we could look like a total badass if we beat her by ourselves. Besides, the only person we might be able to cure or whatever would be Carrie, who is unfortunately not a magical girl

>>29047959
Eh, it's still worth a shot. We're a support mage, after all. Besides, with a Haste spell and either a Protect Ball or some new buff, Carrie could at least get the other two to safety while we beat this chick up with Speed Force.

>>29048004
It might be easier to try to deal with her instead of making more targets and then trying to cover them. I mean that is just an awful idea.

>>29048004

>>29047959
Whatever. Don't really understand why you'd be so resistant to the idea of getting help for a fight that's clearly going to be harder than the others but sure. We can try smacking her around on her own for a bit.

>>29048004

I would prefer this. We have quite a few Shadow Tokens saved up. I would say spend one to secure the innocents and then as many as needed to beat down the foe.

Once the enemy is defeated after all, the innocents will be safe.

"...I'm Booster Bat!" you cry, and transform. It's faster, instantaneous this time. Power thrums through your body as you feel the darkness on the edge of perception, waiting to be tapped.

Adrianne slides her hands into her pockets, leaning back with a smile.

"So it's you." she says softly, "The one that's been stealing all my cores. I needed those, you know, I needed that power."

She watches you, as if waiting for your move. At her feet, darkness boils up and roils.

Wait, why are we using Fury instead of Blast Ball? We get a lot more from Pure?

Rolled 6, 6 = 12

>>29048760
Anyone keeping track of our heads batted in?

Why aren't we using blast ball?

Rolled 6, 6 = 12

>>29048760

>>29048760
Why in the flying fuck are we going for Fury?

Our bread and butter attack is Blast Ball, which is Pure?

Stop murdering her, she's already dead.

So what is that like 4 darkness? Fucking over the action economy is a great way to beat shit up but it's also a great way to get a lot of build up unless the fight ends quickly.

>>29048899
we're up to 6-8 Darkness I believe. We got 3 from the haste, 1 from our Helping roll and 2 to 4 attacking.

>>29048668
No, it's not. Unless 'wo' is absolutely the right particle.
Without the accusative the sentence makes no sense. Also 'yo' is generally used finite after the verb.

>>29048946
at least we still have shadow tokens to burn some of it

>>29048946
We got 2 from Haste since we used an ST, 1 from helping and either 2 or 4 from attacking. That's 5-7.

Since 8 is the max for Flare tier, as long as we can stay at that with or without ST we're fine. 19 is the start of the permanent change tier so if worst comes to worst that should be the number we always stay under.

>>29048899
The way this system works now I feel like we already have some invisible perk that allows us to crit more for more darkness gain.

>>29049013
Either that or being such a darkness magnet is going to become a plot point.

>>29049004
nope, we rolled 3 6s that time AND used a ST for additional power.

>>29048858
You raise your bat, light shining from it. You feel darkness rise within you like bile, just now hitting you from the Haste. Taking a few deep breaths, you look at the expanding sphere of light, and raise your bat, a smile on your face.

Your blows rain down, each one glancing off the clothes. You knock off her headphones, break the fastener on her pants, shatter her belt, tear open one shoulder of her jacket...

It's not enough.

IT'S NOT FUCKING ENOUGH! You roar, this woman had the balls to turn your friends - and you, goddamnit! - into sluts. You reach deep into the Darkness, feeling it taint your Bat, and blast her with another couple of massive blows. Her jacket blasts from her body, freezing in the air, and the next blows away her shirt with equal ease. You raise one foot and shove into her hip.

Time resumes, and you step back to where you were. She flies past you, shining light blasting the room and freeing your friends as Adrianne crashes into the kitchen. Her bra, black lace, is on open display as she rises, furious, pants inching down her waist and showing a lazy black thong.

>Get Carrie to safety, everyone!
>End her now!
>(Say nothing, do one of the following)
>>Blast her with magic
>>Haste again
>>BAT THAT SHIT
>>For any of the above actions, specify Token use.

>>29049035
An ST cancels out darkness build at a 1:1 ratio on top of the extra burst. One of those 3 bursts didn't give us darkness.

>>29049037
>>(Say nothing, do one of the following)

Use Pure, not Fury.

>>29049063
Really? I thought it only cancelled out when specifically used for that purpose.

>>29049037
Say "I don't want no trabble"

>>29049094
>>29049037
This

>>29049102
Nope! Tokens are very handy!

>>29049037
>Blast her with magic
Stop trying to use the shit dice, guys.

>>29049037
>Get Carrie to safety, everyone!
We can still hit her but we should be getting the civvies out of the way.

Also, ST can be used to repair your Jacket so if she has any this can be a long fight.

>>29049037
>Get Carrie to safety, everyone!

Clothes are hitpoints, she has been pretty well worked over, Another good hit or two and she will be done.

>>29049140
If they aren't competent to get out of the way on their own, then oh well.

We can use Shadow Tokens to go back to full health when being beaten. We know other magical girls have voices too. If she has ST she can basically revive herself.

>>29049183

>>29049037
Get Carrie to safety

Rolled 1, 3, 3, 3 + 12 = 22

Poor Adrieanne picked the wrong magical girl to fuck with.

>>29049213
>>29049193
Adrianne a shit.

>>29049239
You never fuck with a Heart Magical Girl's friends.

It ends horribly.

>>29049244
I like her

I kinda want to ask her WHY she hates magi. But first we free our friends and stop her from pulling that illusion crap.

>>29049239
Well, Cats are some vicious motherfuckers, also temperamental. And we are what, ten percent cat?

>>29049276
>>29049276
I imagine she used to be one, and her teammates were shits

>>29049276
Magical Girl diplomacy dictates we blast her with overwhelming explosive magic before attempting talks and friendship.

You feel it rise up again, more and more within you as you slam the ball forth. Darkness rises to stop it, but is blown away, her pants glowing, then simply tearing off. Standing in her lingerie, she shivers a little closing her eyes as her clothing reforms.

"Yes..." she says softly, eyes shining. "MY TURN."

>Choose a magic type to use for defense!
>Specify token use!

>>29049310
Heart.

Use 2 tokens. We NEED to block that.

>>29049310
Let's try Kinetic Redirection and bat whatever she's got to the moon.

Rolled 4, 1, 3, 1 = 9

>>29049310
So, all our magic is doing is blowing her clothes away? I thought this was something more than lewd magical girl quest..

>>29049310
>Choose a magic type to use for defense!
Protect Ball
>Specify token use!
I say use 3

how many do we have by the way?

I say a pure infused kick to the cunt

>>29049339
The Jacket prevents physical damage as long as it's even a little bit intact.

>>29049310
Current Darkness and Shadow Credit, Humility.

So the new system is that 1-8 darkness gets vented at the end of each fight?

I just got here

>>29049359
>prevents
Tries to. The rude mousy one broke some ribs last fight.

>>29049350
If we use three, I think we'll be down to one. I'm down to use one, but we don't have to be frantically on the defense, we haven't even been hit yet.

>>29049367
1-8 is flare.
9-18 is temp change
19 and above is bad permanent stuff.

>>29049310
Kinetic redirection to beat it back at her

>>29049359
>Current Darkness and Shadow Credit, Humility.
>First roll netted you 2 Darkness.
>In the timestop you gained 5 more.
>Your next attack gained you another 2.

>>29049310
Stick to Heart, Use Protect Ball or try to bust out a new defense spell like Kinetic Armor.

Use 1 or 2 tokens.

>>29049384
I see then. I suppose that's more manageable.

((Not spell, folks, Type. You don't have the feat for reactive casting yet!))

>>29049338
>>29049386
Guys, Protect Ball smacks things back too. Use the better dice.

>>29049399
Heart then.

>>29049399
Then Heart. If it's our biggest pool, might as well put it to use.

>>29049399
Oh. Just Heart then. No tokens, it's looking like we'll need them later

>>29049399
Boo, then pure.

>>29049399
Use Heart and 2 tokens. She used 3 it looks like AND she got two bursts.

We need to hedge our bets since our Jacket lacks underwear.

>>29049397
>>29049336

It's a good thing we haven't used a second token yet. We might need them later.

>>29049440
two bursts, two tokens... that should match it hopefully.

>>29049457
Actually, if we used 2 tokens there we didn't even absorb any darkness.

Rolled 4, 5, 3, 2, 2 = 16

I rolled the two 6's last time. Don't fail me now. Dice Gods.

>>29049465
You actually did not agree to use a token when I commenced writing.

>>29049487
well damn, then she pretty much got double our own roll.

>>29049487
So 36 to 53. We got hit but at least it isn't a total beatdown.

So the cat-ears and tail are temporary. Do we keep our breasts at least?

>>29049512
Odds are heavily against it. They came together.

>>29049512
No. It was part of the temp change.

>>29049524
Maybe we can just change again

>>29049531
Maybe you can stop whining about breast size.

You raise your bat, magic rising as you feel the Darkness flow through you. But it's not enough, a dark, clawed hand tearing through the barrier you hastily erected.

And then she slashes down. You feel your face split open, your chest torn in half by the blade, lungs bared, beating heart in easy, painful reach - and you look down, to see your intact chest, your sweater opened from the collar to the hem. Your skirt falls and vanishes, your sweater glowing slightly.

You scream as she approaches harder, knife slashing again and again. Your armor falls to the ground from your arm (she tore it off, you feel it come off muscles snapping bones cracking), you watch her slash open your sleeve, (flayed skin flying off like peel from a potato, shining muscle and blood flying) you trip over the table, landing on your back, her blade held high.

"You can't fucking win, Magi bitch. Just give in and let me do my thing." she says.

>"Fuck no."
>"Please, don't hurt me."
>Scream incoherently.

>>Use no magic.

>>29049603
>>"Please, don't hurt me."
>>Slam her with Fury

>>29049603
Do we have to scream incoherently?
THE BOOTY IS MINE, IT BELONGS TO ME, YOU CANNOT TAKE MY BOOTY.
Blast with Pure I guess, no tokens

>>29049603
>"Fuck no."
>Buff self with Heart
Spend 1 Token. Our allies up yet?

>>29049651
That's a waste of Shadow Tokens.

>Scream incoherently.
>>Blast her with Pure
2 tokens

>>29049603
Depends on what you call winning. Us getting away with you caught with your pants down sounds good to me.
Haste us (and possibly the others if they're not on their way) out of here?
And definitely a "Fuck no."

>>29049603
>Oh? And what exactly is "your thing"?
>Buff self with Heart
Stalling tactics! Remember, we should have allies on the way. Eventually.

And we still don't understand the what and the why?! It's her birthday, I thought we'd become friends.

>>29049621

Are you sure you don't want to use Shadow Tokens?

>>29049725
2 tokens.

>>29049725
Use tokens

We really, really should use tokens people. She is wailing on us.

2 tokens is my vote

>>29049725
Probably just one.

>>29049725
I want to use Shadow Tokens. It's everyone else who's thinking we can get through this without them.

Use 2.

>>29049725
Let go with one Token

>>29049725
Yeah sure, whatever the others agree upon though

>>29049725

The tokens aren't gonna help us if we don't spend them, folks. I'll second using 2, along with buffing ourselves.
