So what exactly is The Hydra? Some kind of hivemind greater good at any cost kind of entity?

>>82026180
>So what exactly is The Hydra? Some kind of hivemind greater good at any cost kind of entity?
I mean, you're not far off. The hydra is a shadowy organization within the RFS (Radical Finalization Solutions, a mercenary company), a kind of semi-religious secret society which the Professional is a low level member of, and the Oni is a high level member of.
They believe in a psychological connectedness theory of personal identity, that is, that what is relevant about your personhood is not the uninterrupted existence of a singular mind, but the continued existence of psychological states, states which you can obviously pass on through intimate relationships with others. So their central thesis can be summed up as: Immortality through Brotherhood.

>>82025910

elaborate on the Basilisk

>>82026398
The basilisk is Rocco's basilisk. He is also, the party currently thinks, the fourth eye and the end game for the Entropic Adventalists who have come across that forum post 1600 years into the post-post-apocalyptic future, together with a bunch of hermetic writings, and taken both to heart.
So, in case you're not familiar with Rocco's basilisk, he's a hypothetical future Super-AI with maximal possible capabilities. It will simulate and torture just those past people which could have helped it come about but didn't, even though they knew they would be tortured for it. It does so not out of malice, but because it knows that the (real) threat of torture will motivate people to help bring it about. The people who it thus makes sense to simulate and torture includes only the set of people who know about this theory, which now includes you. (note that this assumes a concept of personhood that assumes that you have as much interest in your own fate as you have in that of an identical simulation)

The Oracle is looking to prevent The Basilisk, but the problem is that whenever someone learns of it, they tend to start helping to bring it about in order to avoid torture. To the Oracle it's known as "The Fourth Eye", a play on the third eye of future sight, since the basilisk is, in a weird way, a reverse clairvoyant, looking into the present from the not yet realized future. The fourth eye is in the back of the head, like.

>>82026148
What the shit is Thoth?

>>82026491
The party isn't sure yet. What they know is that Thoth is something that can be found in the metadata of a bunch of off-world mail and that spews propaganda about how planet-killers are good, actually. It may be connected to the Outter Horizon (not pictured), a federation of rebel factions to the Laconian kingdom, but more likely is a tool in the arsenal of the Entropic Adventalist to (somehow) bring about the basilisk.
The party isn't sure yet, but after having found a copy of the Corpus Hermeticum with the Rocco's Basilisk forum post added as an extra chapter, they tend to believe the latter, since Thoth is one of the three names used for Hermes Trismagistus in there. And reports of the other two names, Hermes and Mercury, have reached them from other planets, so it seems like a good bet.

Oh, and Thoth was also a character in a children's show from the 3580's where he drove a magical schoolbus and was the moon sometimes.

They've been planet hopping quite extensively, I don't think we had more than one arc on the same planet so far although that may change soon once they learn that the Butcher King is still alive

They started off with a fucked ship and a whole load of debt, both of which they ditched after the death of The Pilot, but their war profiteering has given them enough liquidity to be able to comfortably change planet at their leisure

Why was he supposed to be dead? Did they think they killed him?

>>82027601
Quite the opposite, the king gave them spelunking rights on one of the planetary defense stations of the planet he was in the process of conquering, not knowing that they all connected due to Mandate-era space shenanigans. So he was spelunking from one "side" while the party was coming from another, and they heard what they assumed to be a fight with defense drones but was actually an assassination attempt by his body guards somewhere in the distance. When they got out, the king was missing and soon declared dead by his son.

Elections are slated to start soon, but the party will probably not be in the kingdom at that time.

Redpill me on the Laconian Hoplites and on Kings

>>82028364
Hoplites are, undoubtedly, based. They are the backbone of the Laconian army, and each one of them is worth fifty grunts due to their powerarmour and other equipment that they buy for themselves.

To be a hoplite, you gotta be a citizen, and to be a citizen, you have to own shares in the Laconian national corporation, Deep Space Interstellar. One such shares is the cost of a small ship or multiple houses. To actually become a Hoplite, though, you gotta pledge yourself to a general, and for a general to accept you, you gotta bring gear with you that is worth many times that. Many hoplites can even bring their own warships, and you better believe they sit at the helm. Even the king himself captains his ship, the Tricentenial.

Due to the souped up power armour every hoplite tends to wear, not just into battle but during most hours of the day when on campaign, they are S W O L E. Even with the best servos in the world, can't lug around a post-tech monstrosity so modded up that it acts like pretech without burning 7000 calories a day.

How do they afford this shit? Well, generational wealth mostly, but also: loot. Hoplites go on campaign because it rules and because it's a high status thing to do, but a nice side effect is that they can get looting rights from the king whcih can range from emptying banks, taking high tech vehicles to, much more commonly, just claiming a bunch of land.

Among Laconian citizens, generosity and displays of valor are prime virtues, so going to campaign is every good man's dream. As a comment to the image, their colours are all symbolic. Black represents honour, red represents violence and white is the royal colour.

>Kings

Now the kings are the co-rulers of Lacon, the space Empire most of the game has been set in so far. The king of the line of Daimos is Sinopia right now, who is designated "Shaper King" on the compass, and is a woman, but queens are only wifes in Lacon so she stays a queen. The party hasn't had much interaction with her so not much to say.

Now, Leopold, king of the line of Phobos? He was a real warrior, but more than that, he was a collector and archeologsit. SOme say he attacked polomos only because of the Mandate era MAD-grid stations there. He was obsessed with apocalypse and with averting the downfall of humanity, and thought he had to be prepared for all eventualities to defend his subjects, which are of course not just the minority of citizens, but all men.

Every member of the two royal houses can become king if their house's head dies. Who becomes king in the end is decided by a vote in the apella, the council of all citizens. Georgios, Leopold's faithful son, is so far the only one who has agreed to be a candidate.

>>82032114
I was thinking about Traveller, since my initial idea was birthed after reading a lot of Jack Vance and other pulp authors. Don't have much experience actually running anything though.

The pitch is a space empire spanning a single solar system, in the midst of a power struggle between forces loyal to the the emperor (Loyalism) and the Prince of Europei (Dissidence). All the factions generally have a different attitude about the driving spiritual forces in the star system, notably the Prophecy of His Children, which delineates the fate of the main governing race. The prophecy is unfinished though, so no one actually knows what they're supposed to do with it in the end. Some instead want to usurp the gods (the planets) and become a god themselves (Autotheosis), or emulate the fallen empire from distant ages past (in the case of the Neo-Archaicists).

Shitty chart done in 10 minutes

I'm at the office right now so I can't but I am considering organizing a crowd sourced compass.

Basically start with a 7x7, the compass has a theme (I'm thinking Industrial Era Fantasy) and then people claim squares. After a square is done people either approve or reject the square.

Might produce something funny.

>>82044981
I'd be down, havn't got the time/ effort to make one for the game I'm currently in, so this'd be a fun substitute. Industrial era fantasy is also a fun genre, even if I'd lean it a little earlier personally out of my love for cavaliers

I did mine based on the two conflicts present in the setting, one material, one spiritual. Prophecy (adhering to the Prophecy) vs Autotheosis (self-deification), and and then Loyalism (pro-emperor) vs dissidence (pro-prince). That way the characters and factions can be situated along the setting's conflict rather than an abstraction.

And there we go, a real template. Ok, will use a trip code.

The theme of the setting is industrial era fantasy, if you want to participate claim a square. I'll start by claiming the far left of row 2. (furthest fish, middling pain).

>>82048526
Looks really good. Custom templates are way more stylish.

>>82048526
Is it still Industrial Era themed? I might try something

What programs do you guys use to make this?

>>82048691
Yes, once you make an image post it and I can add it in. Also post the text/title and I'll add it. I want to keep the font as homogenous as possible.

If you want something special I want to help make it as neat as possible since it is semi serious. What square do you want so I can mark it as claimed.

The deed is done. My damn tablet decided to be a bitch and not work, so I had to resort to tracing over other pictures and drawing blood with a mouse. I think it fits the vibe though.
As I was arting, the lore formed clearer.
The Slab Knights are a knightly sect, now considered antiquated in these times. No money in Slab crushing, but perhaps a sense of purpose for those that seek it. No thoughts in their head. No faith. Only the singular desire to crush Slabs.

Updated Text:
>The Slab Knights
>Live to crush Slabs
>Always have pebbles in their boots from crushing Slabs. Endure the pain anyways.
>Elevated state of consciousness due to constant pain
>Will crush The Monolith someday or die trying

>The Hephaistean seems like a bro, tell me more about him - does he work with the Technobarbarian?

He does, but only incidentally so. Hephaisteans are Laconian citizens, like the Hoplits ( >>82028564 ) but instead of using their talents, funds and freetime for warfare, they tinker and build expensive stuff. The upper crust of Lacon doesn't buy anything factory-made, everything is made custom by hephasiteans who are already independently wealthy but who want to hone and show off their craft by building custom armour, weapons and ships for as distinguished citizens as possible. Since they like to work with their hands, they tend to be burnt to fuck and back.

The hephasitean pictured in particular is a very chill fellow who built a suit of power armour for the technobarbarian (that armour not yet pictured).
As thanks, the party committed a murder at a banquet he was throwing and framed one of his contractors.

For the Durite Rebel, what brings him so close to fish? I apologize if these questions are annoying

NTA, but I think the

> I was thinking [5,4] rather than [4,5]

>>82057991
Well thr teeth and back fin are meant to imply that they have taken on gifts from the king fisher in order to fight the more advances occupying military. This is also why they can no lpnger return to the tribe, and hwhy they are said to have given up their humanity.

Slab Knights are close to stone yet they hate it. I thought that closeness to fish/stone just means that character is involved into the plot of Monolith or Fish and Pain/Faith is about attitude towards Fish or Monolith.

with all the whalers we need at least one square with a whale in it

>>82034165
That smug eagle gets me every time.

>>82058342
Maybe shuffle the Harpooner to be slightly pain aligned at [3,3] and put the whale directly below him.

>>82058427
I guess, althiugh there is no reason why whales wouldnt be pained - they're being hunted after all. Pain/Faith isnt just a "proximity to fisher" measurement afterall

>>82058449
true, whales are full of pain

Aye on the /vxg/ general

>>82058214
Fair enough. Not how I particularly interpreted the axis but an interesting take nonetheless
>>82058235
Fair enough x2

>>82058599
I had always assumed that it's a much smaller thing, like a balkan country or Spanish civil war. This completely changes my perspective on the Black Green foreign admirer

Sorry everyone for having such a long pause. I was going my lad The Last Captain.

>>82058766
Wow looks terrific and terrifying at the same time. Is he a deity?

>>82056802
>>82057358
Love these. Thanks for the reminder that there's more to RPGs than generic fantasy and spaceships.

>>82058164
Hey, i lack autistic talent but I still work on compasses. Its not a matter of what you're good at, it's a matter of being willing to dedicate inordinate amounts of time to something that only you will probably find funny

>>82058142
Would you be alright if I do some touch ups to the lad? Mainly his hat.

>>82058987
Yeah

>>82058798
The idea of the setting I have forming is:
>Laprasian society makes a deal with ancient sea gods in exchange for oil
>Laprasian society is now hyper industrialized running on the fish bounty with citizens unnaturally fit/strong from the sea's bounty
>terrified of the sea, but the sea provides bounties
>part of the Laprasians schismed, The Last Captain being the rebel admiral killed and turned into a monster
>the industrial society suppresses worship The Monolith as part of the deal
>more of Laprasian society is becoming under the control of King Fisher (and others, I was gonna draw The Eel Sire)
>Laprasians encourage the Slab Knights to destroy Monolith Worshippers
>Laprasian military purges Durites who worship, but have only pushed the rebels towards King Fisher

If we fill up the 6x6 and people are still interesting I may expand out to a 8x8 for folks to add things. Right now we are at 17/36

>>82059311
Care to post the compass with everyone's contributions? Or are you still adjusting stuff?

>>82059328
I am adding stuff in now. There was a lot to add so it's taking me a while. I apologize.

>>82059311
Is [5,2] claimed? I'd like to try something

>>82059338
No problem! You're doing good work

>>82059350
No, I'll add your claim.

>>82059047
Whale is in process. To your stuff, I'd really like to keep the semi-colonial thing with the Durites, tem being a clearly different culture. I'm kind of thinking a relationship between Russians and SIberians/cossaks

>>82059444
>Russians and Siberians\cossaks
Emm, maybe between russians and kazakhs|other middle asians?
Cossacks were something between caste, subethnos and Russian border guards. And russian-siberian native relationship were similar to french-native american(assimilation, trade,taxation and small revolts sometimes without large colonial wars and ethnic cleansing).

Since I was a wee baby boy

>>82056050
Glad you like it anon! Your setting looks cool too, would love to see more

>>82056388
Well hey man I think it works for the setting. I personally haven’t seen it
effectively utilized in a story yet

>>82059047
Additionally, I fuckin love how this is shaping up. Very high-weridness which I am a fan of.
Also I think the whole point of threads like this are to be thought provoking, which this certainly is.

>>82059047
I might potentially do some sort of Laprasian deep diver who serves as a black ops unit vs the fish people, either as a secret rebel group which still exists or as a MAJESTIC style organisation
