I'm going to Orientation at University for 2 days, so I might not have my contributions ready in time. I'll see if I can get the 2 antelope and 1 Cephalopod up by Sunday.

I'd like to review this project for DFBT, my podcast. Anything special I should include?

Woo! We're being mentioned in a podcast!

I really have no idea what stuff you would want to know, though.


On a modding note, I simply lack the time to do any work on my tarnish stalks.
As much as I like them, and as possessive as I am over them, I haven't wanted to have someone else do any work on them but me, but I don't really have much of a choice, so I'll explain how I was meaning to make them so that someone with more time than myself can get them to my vision of completion.

The way I want them to work is that when they are "processed" by reaction, you will get a tarnish stalk shaft, and tarnish root or 2, some tarnish fronds, and a tarnish bulb.
The shaft is the edible/brewable part, the root is the seed, obviously, the fronds are turned into the thread or tobacco, and the bulb can be pressed (like rock nuts) into oil and a press cake. The oil could be made into soap (Tarnish soap! Muahahaha! I was hoping to keep this plan a secret until I actually made this.) and the press cake could be... I don't know, used for something.

Spoiler: Here is a picture of a tarnish stalk (click to show/hide)

Thanks to whoever can do this for me, it pains me that I can't so it myself.

I thought you smoke the whole thing, otherwise how do you get charcoal instead of just ash?

Actually, that's a good point.
Smoke the whole cigar.

Wide range of Cephalopod passive creatures planned:

-little landbound ones that scavenge fallen fruit and carrion, found pretty much everywhere non-freezing.
-big stocky landbound ones, filling a buffalo niche, found in grass and shrubland
-big armored ones that live in temperate forests and taiga
-medium sized ones with shells that live in tropical forests
-all kinds of amphibious and aquatic ones.

So, the better part of the wildlife will be invertebrates, and have more than four limbs. This sounds like a world I want to live in

I think you are very strange

Still playing in Mastertea, even though the play-session is over. Ran into a storm dragon recently, and I took some screenshots.

Atta girl, big-ass tarantula! Show that spiney sucker how it's done!

Also, that is a properly impressive name for a monster.

[WillowLuman]

It bothers me that a commonly found giant spider is 10x more deadly than our Megabeast.

[Orange Wizard]

Give the megabeast more breath attacks, thicker skin, natural skills of legendary +5 and physical stats of 50000.

10x? It's not though. Put them in the arena and try it out, storm dragon wins against anything in the game that exists at this point that I cared to test and mops the floor with the average theraphosa. This is more like one of those cases where a stray cat kills x. If we take every such report as cause to give mad buffs to things we'll end up with things that are completely undefeatable in combat.

That said when they were created the world was very different. Wasn't full of giant spiders for one thing. Now when we have new megabeasts people will be like, whew, it's only a storm dragon and not a HugoBeast. But that's fine. These were intended to be the "vanilla" megabeast, like a vanilla hydra, among many more exotic ones.

Oh btw, who was it that suggested that everyone should add one "signature" megabeast during their turn? Because that was a pretty cool idea. I'm sure they could be added retroactively.

[WillowLuman]

Ah yes, I pledged to contribute a Megabeast. Should be able to put an interesting one together relatively quickly.

When creating creatures, we should probably use the Storm Dragon as a watermark. If it can beat the dragon in a fight relatively often, then it probably shouldn't be a roving animal (except maybe in the Caverns or an Evil Savage region)

I'd like to review this project for DFBT, my podcast. Anything special I should include?

It started as a peaceful fantasy world with halflings and some hounds and ducks; then, successive contributions made it full of giant bees and tarantulas and otherwise 90% giant insects, with poisonous edible flora and alcohol hangovers. Definitely cover the dirigible antelope and land whales if they're done at that time. That is the story here. Then add whichever of the other things/plans you feel like is more awesome/absurd.

I personally feel though that one of the coolest things was the ability to do some things "right" silently in the background by re-making the templates, like more sensible creature organization, connecting knees, necks with major arteries, brain cases that protect the brain, pecking birds, humanoids don't latch and shake things around and their punches are more powerful while animals do and their bites are more powerful, properly named body parts and so on. At least I and StL paid a lot of attention to this (I'm not saying others didn't, just didn't study the work enough to confirm yet). My plan to add useful new colors, replacing and merging useless old ones like bright magenta, would be an extension of this I feel but didn't get that much interest (and maybe it shouldn't as it's not finished yet).

[sackhead]

i would be up for creating a signature megabeast
