Sooo a while back I put in a little bit of a request with our alien overlord hosts. And shockingly enough it not only came through, it was actually what I asked for! Crazy right? Turns out good things happen to not-so-great people after all, which, obviously I don't mean me. I'm amazing.

Anyway what I got was this really awesome game from back home called "Bunkers & Badasses". So awesome in fact that there's still a copy of it even after the universe was destroyed which I feel is pretty indicative of the sheer levels of awesomeness we're dealing with here.

I don't know if any of you guys had tabletop back home but basically you create a character by choosing your fantasy race and class, and then you go on adventures and roll a bunch of dice! Bunker Teams are best in groups of four but being the utterly amazing Bunker Master I am, I'm willing to accommodate anyone who's interested in playing through a short campaign or two. The rules aren't too hard and making a character is easy.

I'm thinking maybe in the next two weeks or so? Let me know if you're interested or have any questions.

[there's something really wrong with him]

I can't believe you sometimes

[rhygret]

[ *everything

there I fixed it for you ]

I know I know. It's hard to appreciate the intricacies of business but don't worry, it gets easier as you get older.

[winddaughter]

[oh my god]

yeah, that's exactly what I was referring to

jeez, tell me more about this "game" mr. businessman. how do you win?

[rhygret]

There isn't a set-in-stone ending like you reach a "goal" at the end of a finish line or anything. It's more of journey! You'll get quests or requests from people to help them and when you complete the objectives they're reward you! But the journey doesn't exactly end when you finish those tasks. I've had campaigns run for years back in high school.

[winddaughter]

[but she likes winning]

how is that different from life in Olympia

like

I literally just went out to some place with awful stinging bugs at the request of people here and got paid for it

[rhygret]

[ Everyone wins when we all have fun Anemone! ]

Okay but like that's a bunch of bugs. This adventure would be going out to stop an evil warlock, or collect a hoard of treasure! Way better than getting paid to be stung by some bugs.

[winddaughter]

[sounds dorky] fine whatever

what about characters then?

[rhygret]

[ *incredibly cool, I fixed it for you. ]

They can be whatever you want them to be! That's what makes them so fun.

[winddaughter]

so I can be something badass

[she's basically agreeing to this circus of his]

[rhygret]

[ HE KNEW HE'D GET HER. No one can resists B&B once it gets its hook into you. ]

How about a Barbarian? They're strong. Not very smart though.

[ And yes that suggestion was entirely on purpose. ]

[winddaughter]

[well that doesn't sound so--

wait]

are you implying something rhys

[rhygret]

Who, me? Never! I know you're plenty strong Anemone.

[ But that other part.... ]

[winddaughter]

oh yes, super strong

[:||||]

I'm plenty smart you know

[rhygret]

Oh good, you caught that.

[winddaughter]

[what an ass]

so a Barbarian alright

can you

[ffffffffffffffffff]

can you make my character

[rhygret]

If you mean can I help you make your character...than yes. You have to make the decisions for them but I can provide you with options.

[ YOU LOVE HIIIIIM HE'S LIKE YOUR COOL UNCLE OR SOMETHING ]

[winddaughter]

well what else do I need

[rhygret]

A name, a race, and a backstory! These are all essential parts of what makes up your character you know. You can't be lazy about it or your character won't be any fun.

[winddaughter]

[she doesn't even understand half of what he just said]

I have no idea where to start

[rhygret]

How about with a name for your character?

[winddaughter]

Umm... Mirabelle? Human.

[rhygret]

Perfect! So we'll have Mirabelle the Human Barbarian, level one. What's her story? Tell me about where she came from and what she's like.

ten thousand years later, Anemone will never will make that game

[winddaughter]

how can I make that sort of thing up I don't know anything about the setting

IT'S OK pats

[rhygret]

Well...what do you want to know?

video;

[winddaughter]

[HOW DOES SHE KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS TO KNOW ffff

she switches to video and is looking at him with kind of an annoyed expression

she's succumbed to doing this B&B thing but seriously she barely knows what "fantasy" entails

so GOSH she's actually showing him how out of her depth she is about all this you'd better be happy!!]

Rhys, I barely know anything, I didn't read a lot when I was a kid, okay. I don't know what's considered "normal" for a... fantasy world or whatever. [And everything else she read in the Command Cluster..... well. That's not knowledge she can access.] What are other people doing?
