    Reviewed Week 297: On Board the Orca: In Transit: Free Time - Feedback

    Over the past couple months, I've felt overwhelmed with stuff irl, so reviews are far behind. I'm starting with the kind of one-off pieces and then working up to the arcs (one arc in particular). You guys get to be the first. I would still prefer if you all more regularly read and commented on...

    [Plot] Convergence of Tides

    https://postterminus.com/xf/profile/general/Naga_Storm_FINAL_MASTER.mp3 "…my brain, or what was left of it," Gwen rambled on, drawing her bead and loosing the arrow before immediately turning to the little arcs of lightning racing across the water on the rooftop where Amanita deflected it...

    [Plot] Convergence of Tides

    In the flash of the next wave of lightning, Micali recognized her error. Teeth and weapons glinting in the lightning strikes, three naga warriors rushed toward her. No children or juveniles, these were full-grown ophidians, towering over the sniper even without considering the long, serpentine...

    [Plot] Convergence of Tides

    Caput met Aelflead's eyes without flinching. "He is no monster," he asserted calmly, "but he is a fool. Many have paid dearly for his foolishness, and that will come to account, but that is secondary to what must be done now." After Red's outburst, Keydis had a smile curling at the corner of...

    [Plot] Convergence of Tides

    The red wave of ophidians broke upon the rushing forces of the Orca, the line folding in around and rapidly surrounding the brave men and women. Blood spilled freely, shouts lifting up from both sides over the continuous downpour and crashing thunder. It was like the invasion all over again...

    Magnum and Ultimum Release Submissions

    Withdrawn, per your request. I will however, offer some notes. Regarding the form, with a vistra, it's required to have some visible element. You can try to conceal it, as Keydis does by wrapping her arms, but there needs to be something where people can see it and recognize "this person is...

    Item Submissions

    This one poses an interesting dilemma. Generally, you're allowed to 'have' more than two EX items, but only carry two on your person at a time... but this would never need to be carried on your person, so you could essentially always have an extra EX item. Might have to add a rule for like "+1...

    Reviewed Week 303: Rust-Colored Skies, II - Feedback

    You asked me to proofread this, but I didn't see any errors that needed correcting. If there were any, they were so minor as to slip by. I can't remember how long it's been since I read the first part of this but it still impresses me now. Being someone who sometimes gets lost in my own...

    [Plot] Convergence of Tides

    https://postterminus.com/xf/profile/general/Naga_Storm_FINAL_MASTER.mp3 Convergence of Tides Anguis Trigon, Final Phase The Orca cut through the turquoise waters, quiet save for the hum of its engines. The tension was thick in the confined quarters, the air filled with dread and the...

    Skill Tier Icons

    Huh. Wonder how I missed those? I don't even have the larger versions in my icon folder. I've been pulling icons from here, though, so if there are any non-skill icons you need to reference, you can probably find them easily enough: 3817 free SVG and PNG icons for your games or apps |...

    I like this. It's a good way to capitalize on the advantages you already have as a sniper, and the simplicity means that you are effectively always benefiting rather than hoping for an occasion to use it. Approved, with slight rewording of the Effect (just rewording, no buff/nerf) and increased...

    Cool stuff. I'll have to see if there's a way to officially incorporate them.

    [Plot] TEP - Under the Sea

    Grace considered Aelflead for a moment before nodding solemnly, deciding that it was a matter to be left alone for the moment. "We shall reconvene in the morning and determine what is the best course of action for the future. We would greatly appreciate your patience," she added, placing a hand...

    [Plot] Dark Water - The Dry Rock

    "It rests with him, true, but if given a full understanding of the situation, I have no doubt he will return them," Garus said. There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, but he didn't linger on the thought. "It may be a case where we should make the return, make the amends, and then worry...

    Feat and Special Technique Submissions

    Approved with a slightly different drawback. Adding two tiers of magnitude to attacks could elevate them to lethal. The drawback also isn't entirely necessary, so this is a relatively minor variation that adds to the character without becoming a severe liability.

    The Basal Lake - Out of the Boiling Pot

    To the younger woman, Driweus nodded. "Yes, we have additional maps, although not consolidated like this one, at least not in as great detail." The velen reached into a satchel on his belt, withdrawing several folders. He handed the first over to Gwen; inside, there were fifteen smaller maps...

    [Plot] TEP - Under the Sea

    "His life is not his own," Grace answered, returning from the room where the emperor had been rushed away. There were signs that tears had run down her cheeks, but she looked at them now with clear eyes. To the unasked questioned, she acknowledged, "Father will survive, though it is a grievous...

    [Plot] Dark Water - The Dry Rock

    The desperation in Lea's eye wasn't lost on the captain. In some ways it mirrored his own despondence. "Without question," Garus replied. "We still have to figure out how we will be leaving, but however it is, we will bring him with us. He may be no velen, but ad oceanum." Garus stood back up...

    [Plot] TEP - Under the Sea

    Cordatus bristled and started to shout something in defense of his elder brother. Whatever it was died on his lips as Caput dropped a hand on his shoulder. The elder prince didn't turn back to Aeria, and his words were tired. "For what would I apologize? I have not arrested you, accosted you, or...
