These might not be the ones that'll most negatively affect the outcome you desire though!
In addition to running an unlicensed microbrewery.
Isn't this like asking which child you love most? You probably have a preference, but it feels bad to say one of them is better.
I fell asleep while trying to come up with such an accessory, but for some reason that's when I arrived at a name for it. It'd be a small object, in the shape of a fruit cup, called a Darie cup. Why this name? I have no idea honestly, but it just came to me in a dream.
The basic idea for magic in this setting that I've had so far is that magic is basically a way to manifest one's imagination or intentions, within certain limits.
One thought I've had is that if I were to juxtapose it with tech, one of the limiting factors of magic is that it requires human intention, which in turn means human *attention*. This in turn means that magic might fail when people don't feel like it, whereas technology won't.
As long as you don't turn it into a giant CAD manual like Mahouka.
This seems like the sort of setting where people regularly go insane.
This also seems like the sort of setting where teams regularly have to go out and stop Madoka Witch Labyrinths that are fueled entirely by a single crazy person.
Or whenever an overly-intelligent "funky" professor tries to be cool and takes LSD/psilocybin mushrooms.
The Salamander Incident involves reporting on other incidents, including other salamander incidents.
* There is a sports bar in town called The Salamander's Firewater.
(The name is a play on the traditional association of the salamander with fire, whereas salamanders are actually amphibians who have far more affinity with water.)
(And yes, a sports bar. Not a tavern. I'd like to explore a fantasy setting with some more modern elements, rather than leaning heavily on Medieval-European-high-fantasy tropes.)
* Allegations of academic dishonesty such as plagiarism are referred to a discplinary committee. They have mages with high-level divination spells that serve on the committee. Unfortunately, these spells take a lot of prep work and time to cast.
I re-read this thread looking for something I could make a reference to MtG's latest set (about a magic school), but no good material came up. Well, there's the stuff ablut a card game.
This reminds me that I never got around to rendering a piece of fanart I made. It's not much (the crater) but perhaps I could finish it?
Unfortunately I am bad at visual arts.
Drugs are prohibited anywhere on the campuses of Belphegor University. However, given the fact that you do have a bunch of college students on a campus together, inevitably some mandragoids show up here and there. Rumor has it that the Caving Club is involved in the production and/or distribution of mandragoids, but they keep denying it and blaming it on unspecified malefactors and unscrupulous students. Besides, there's more actual evidence of Danny Kraid's microbrewery than any of these rumors. Counter-rumors suggest that the Biology Department is in on this.
That Incident Involving The Laundry Machine, The Armadillos, And A Suspicious Number Of Watermelons
This incident shall not be discussed on campus. Attempts at replicating it are strictly forbidden.
This small songbird is capable of a magical marvel developed here at Belphegor University. Using an appropriately prepared spell, considering input and output languages and requisite vocabulary for each, one can use its vocalizations to translate between languages of one's choosing.
Prior attempts were made to do this using parrots and corvids, but parrots tended to be less accurate, having more of their own thoughts to say, and corvids tended to be too sassy for the purpose.
>not sassy
I guess you only feel safe because you don't know what they say in private.
I kept forgetting to re-render it. Also I lost the first render I made when crashed as it was saving (I did not have the presence of mind to print screen to get something out of it).
For a while I thought I had lost the file. left it mostly as-is, which turned out to not be that troublesome (I did leave the magic circle ink error there tho). Also it turned out to be more complete than I remembered, come to think of it I think it wasn't so much that I hadn't completed it as much as it was that I didn't think it turned out well. IIRC it was half a work in itself, half an experiment on textures (especially the magic circle), particles and the renderer.
I'll have to put this somewhere though.
I haven't decided what to do with this yet.
b) why does D4DJ have kemonomimis now?
I just posted this picture because of the caption text juxtaposed with the obviously fantasy-influenced visuals.
I think I've missed a lot because this makes no sense to me.
You can claim a character. Then you the next time you roll the character, you get a soulkey. Get 10 soulkeys on your own and the character enters your soulmate list.
It's basically a per-character thing that I've defined as the end-state for when I'll stop trying to roll that character.
