 It's June 2006. The new generation of video gaming was kicked off last year with the Xbox 360, and now the Playstation 3 and the Revolution are sure to follow. E3 is nearly upon us, and the future of games is on show. Also, somehow, a bunch of weirdos with a webcomic got passes.  Two Peeps and a Seat is that webcomic. It is also a PBTA game by our very own Ettin following a fictional gaming webcomic from the 2000s. But according to Ettin, quote:Two Peeps and a Seat isn’t just an RPG about a gamer webcomic. In particular, we're going to be following our webcomic through a storyline revolving around one of the most important (and most memetic) E3 shows in history. The current rules can be found here. I'm looking for about three to four peeps and one seat. The recruit will probably run until Saturday the 8th.

On the various gaming messageboards and internet forums, I found several men (and one or two women) who are exactly into my poo poo... Misanthropy, love of chaos and psychogaming. I guess that those rascals are gonna be spared from my wrath... For now. quote:What’s the thing that separates you from actual villains?

 Scarthorax the Weird One quote:What weird abilities set you apart from others? How do you feel about it? Oh I'm just an Incubus, not really anybody important down in Hell. I've got demonic magic powers and a way with words - which it turns out isn't so common up here. The magic powers, not the way with words. Well, maybe some of the people I hang out with don't have that, but you get what I mean right? Anyway it's pretty neat since people here are very impressed. There were a lot more powerful demons in Hell but up here I'm considered very one thousand three hundred and thirty seven. quote:Do “regular” people see you? Do they freak out or are they strangely blasé? Yeah people can see me, but they seem strangely fine with it? They mostly think I'm doing something called "cosplay" and say I did a good job with my costume. But they seem kind of weirded out if I keep trying to correct them and let them know I'm an actual demon from Hell? I don't get it. quote:How did you end up hanging out with these people? What do they give you? So I was in Hell, just making sure all the damned were suffering and all that. But I noticed a portal had opened up - normally you can only get out with permission and eventually you're teleported right back to Hell. So I went through to see what's up and a bunch of people were sitting around a television doing something. They were kind of freaked out when I just dropped in, but then I asked what they were doing and they said playing "video games." We don't have that in Hell, and oh my Satan it's incredible! And pizza, and air conditioning and Mountain Dew and dogs and...I could go on forever, but this is way better then Hell! Kind of makes sense now that I think about Hell being punishment and all. quote:

Percy McAdams Percy just built a new "Selesnya" deck for Magic: the Gathering's "Ravnica" set, "grafting" the new "Dissension" cards into it. He's taken to assigning everyone a "guild" from the game, himself being the "Parun" of the couch, which he considers his personal "Vitu-Ghazi." He works at a bookstore and plays tournaments at the game store across the street, so the couch is the only time he plays "video" games. quote:The Middle One What's your idea of "helping", exactly? I assess their color identity and mana cost to cater my approach, see if they have any keywords or activated abilities I should be aware of, then make my statement. I'm a very wise person, so I think of some meaningful flavor text from a card that could go in their deck and tell them that. Then I apply it to their situation and allow them to act on this new knowledge. When was the last time your patience reached its limit? What did you do? I was getting horrible luck during a game of Mario Party, and then lost a duel minigame for my only star. And they laughed, as if they really needed my star. I challenged them to a different duel, with my Dimir deck. Countering spells, milling their deck, and absolutely shutting them down. Humble pie. What do you do to blow off steam? Besides deck-building? ... I have a small garden in my window and a few cats. Urza, Yawgmoth, and Teysa. And I read books. Actual books, not just the stuff in the fat packs.

Grand Lord Magus Cagliostro of the Unseen Coven, Scourge of Hearthold and Scion of the Forbidden Arts Weird One -1 Ownage 0 Skillz 1 Snark 2 Random Jester: +1 Friend / +1 Foe Percy: +2 Friend / -2 Foe Jane: -1 Friend / -1 Foe Style: Drunken Fey/Strong AI Ex Machina When you use your weird powers to solve a mundane problem, tell a friend what you’re doing and rollzor +Random. On a 10+, it works. On 7-9, choose one: • There are unforeseen consequences. • You’ll need a rare item (magic tome, Australian cuisine, etc.) that will require some zany antics to get your hands on. • You’re going to need help. • One of your rivals will get in your way. On a miss, you make things worse. Manic Pixie Dream Friend When you help or hinder someone in the Fun Zone, they release 1 Tension. Questions • What weird abilities set you apart from others? How do you feel about it? I wield arcane power unimaginable to mere mortals! ...Well unless they played the game I'm from then I suppose they could imagine it. However! The game does not feature the true depths of my might, or charm! Also the English localization omits my entire childhood... Regardless! Even my simple cantrips are enough to astound and awe these slack jawed miscreants. Which is good because I am primarily an alchemist and did not arrive with my stash. While nothing would please me better than to cow all these simple fools I also appreciate that I cannot be tempted by conquest at a mere fraction of my power. With conquest comes management and that is simply tedious. I have no love for it. The hidden coven has a moooostly horizontal organization because of that. Speaking of! This strange land is full of potential witches! The temperature here is much more agreeable for gathering in the woods in the dead of night. Surely I can find women who will be my pals and go hang out in the woods and do stuff with me that they keep a secret. Next question! • Do “regular” people see you? Do they freak out or are they strangely blasé? The dregs that shuffle about this world do not treat me with the proper awe. I suppose in my true home it was more like contempt or anxiousness but drat it people knew me! Oh sure they do notice me here too. To leer and sneer at the only properly developed sense of fashion they've ever seen. The fabrics here do not cling, this was the best I could manage to recreate my grand battle robe. The ritual ambushed me when I was not garbed for battle of course. I could have easily rejected such a breech into my reality if I was not caught by surprise! • How did you end up hanging out with these people? What do they give you? Well they summoned me to this realm. Or their friend did? The one that wants to see my coven's rituals but he can't be a witch he's a dude. I forget if he's part of the main group. Or which one he was? All these greasy tshirt wearing nerds have the same face I swear. Honestly I could care less. I'm just here for the novelty and possible alchemical ingredients. I have recently discovered a potion called Monster juice? It has strong portents for the arcane secrets I can pillage this land of. Ohohohoho! The cretins are rather fortunate their little prank is shaping up to be a windfall. SHY NUDIST GRRL fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Jun 14, 2019 |

Jane Smith, The Serious One +0 Ownage +1 Skillz +2 Snark -1 Random Friends: Jester: -1 Friend / +2 Foe Percy: +2 Friend / -1 Foe Cags: +1 Friend / +1 Foe Style: Unlucky Everyperson (But Totally Snarky About It) Favorite Games: Dungeons & Dragons, JRPGs • What normal adult things do you get up to when you’re left alone? Oh, you know, the usual. Work, make sure the bills get paid and we don't get evicted, work, a little landscaping... oh, and bailing my friends out of jail. You know, totally normal stuff. • Which friend is determined to get you to lighten up and why? Out of this crew? Man, that's a story for later... but I do have a different friend who thinks I'm all work and no fun. So, yeah, I hold down a 9-to-5 most of the year teaching. When I'm on the clock, I am on. We're talking lesson plans, grading papers, fielding calls from god knows how many parents worried about their kid's grades... you know how it goes. It's really only during the summer and the holidays — you wouldn't believe what sort of holidays I get, by the way, ever heard of National Kart Racer Appreciation Week? — that I get to let my hair down and grind my backlog. So my DM, James, is always trying to push for some extra-long sessions when we get to the climax of a story arc, but like... I can only dedicate so much of my Saturdays to the group! C'mon, those lessons aren't going to plan themselves! He's been talking about throwing an intervention to get me to lighten up. What does that even mean?! • What’s your weak spot, the thing you take so seriously it’ll make you act weird? Alright, listen. It's not weird. Those other guys are weird! But, uh, so you know the whole in-character/out-of-character divide? I absolutely refuse to break it. If someone's at the table talking about how they ordered pizza mid-session, you better believe that Lady Pendragon is going to get all worked up about these mythical otherworldly flavor disks that the gods are talking about. quote:Here We Go Again quote:Deadpan Snarker Tricky fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Jun 14, 2019 |
