[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

Not maybe, but certainly. ^^

My character would probably just straight up have given it to you with a look of disgust, as he doesn't want to touch it or his family members unless the need is absolutely dire. The hatred and paranioa of all things vaguely 'magical' is strong within my character, yes, even if its to his own detriment!

Ah. If I'd....edit my post to have Shiva actually tell him it's associated with Earthpower, would you be down to edit yours appropriately? Maybe it's better to be true to Ventus about this, saves any half-needless discussions and apologies later that can be used for other, more enjoyable things. This'll certainly won't change that he's not so happy with her though, but I wouldn't expect that anyway.

I would be willing to alter my post in that case, yes. He'd be grumpy with her, but not to the point where he'd want to avoid talking to her altogether, so its up to you whether or not you want Shiva to converse with him in that state or mind.

*everyone continues to talk about future plans anyways*

...k then....

That is, if he's isn't axed from the campaign by that point and / or if the region starts to look more favorably on the Delta Houndour species. In that case, he'd probably start putting his considerable influence and resources to get forever curtail any such good publicity, ruining whatever chance of friendship between him and Nathan in the process!

I got my own campaign to run, so after this one I'm likely to focus on it and whatever Dragon has whipped up by that point in time!

Great idea, but I'm liable to only spend a week or so of offtime before I get ansty for another quality timesink to enjoy with my friends. I'm wondering if your going to ever take part in Dragon's or mine own campaign after you are done with this one, though, since one of the main reasons you cited not doing so before is managing IRL and this online campaign.

We're still a long ways from planning for something that could very much be affected by current events.  I'm personally trying to keep that in mind myself, which is why I'm not really planning any 'post-game stuff' that would be affected by our adventure through Creshire (so far, that is).

No idea when exactly I'll start my campaign, but it's definitely going to be after Skull Ruins ends.

That's a question I've been wondering myself, but I didn't want to ask until after Skull Ruins was over, tbh.

Totally agree with you on how crossovers can make things a tangled mash of continuity snarls and errors if handled poorly, and as I stated a loooong time ago neither I nor Iron wants to dabble in such dangerous practices that could make a mess of BOTH our campaigns! Better off simply just re-adapting/designing an old character to fit it with a new DM's universe than trying to plonk an old character from another universe and trying to justify their existence in it, bar Palkia/Dialga/Giratina/Arceas being an asshole and dropping them into that new DM's Pokémon Universe (which has its own problems, but easier than simply trying to mess different universes/timelines together).

The Celadon campaign also isn't the kind of universe that crossovers well with a campaign that follows a timeline closer to the canon one.  If the characters there were to ever meet any of the characters in other campaigns...well, chances are that time-space distortions/transportation are almost certainly involved if we're not talking about the alternate reality versions of the crossover characters.

Besides, the Celadon Campaign would also technically definitely take place over 10 years before the start of the Skull Ruins campaign due to the Team Rocket shenanigans, so that could also complicate things...

Something like that, IF it ever happens, would probably best be saved for when both campaigns involved are over and done with.  

It is always cool when there's continuity between campaigns that have some significant amount of time between each other, though.  Crossovers with previous, related campaigns are a breeze in that case.

I've just edited my post accordingly, please take a look at it!~
Oh, eh, well, probably not much talking at this point happening then nevertheless, an answer to the questions I've added in the end will suffice for this point. Later then there can be more interactions...

Finished editing my post now too! Hopefully Ven's attitude isn't all that too off putting...

Iron said this was Encounter 2 iirc.

Really? I must have missed that accidently or gotten something wrong, as I was sure that:

1st Encounter: The Delibird Swarm, no battling occured.
2nd Encounter: The ghost of captain Bridge and two of his soldiers, evolved into a Battle against a Horde of ghostly Sableye.
3rd Encounter: The latests list named 'Mt. Sentry Ice Biome Part 3', containing Crygorna Mandatory/Held Item/Bergmite/Jynx/Relicanth.

What's correct now, @Iron, can you please clarify? It'll have influence on Pain Penalizations, that's why I'd like to be sure.
EDIT: Still would like to hear it directly from you now that we've finished the latest list of Encounters (the by me assumed 3rd Slot), please, to be definitely sure what's true now and act accordingly, forgive me if I'm annoying.

He said that when I asked about the natural HP recovery earlier, for reference.

Alright, my laptop's currently updating a lot of data, means I can't use him during that time. I'm not quite sure how long that process will take to finish, posts from my side will be slower/may bear more accidental typing errors until then as I'll stick to mobile.
EDIT 1: Something went wrong during the configuration of the Windows-Updates. >_>; I simply hope that I can use it today, at worst I'll loan my parent's laptop.
EDIT 2: It loops. Damn you, Microsoft. Why do you do this to me?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

*Newsflash!* Windows System on my own laptop seems to hate me today, but I just managed to get dad's old one working!~ Oh the joy of that. But I can't play much today probably as it's uncomfortable to type on it AND still laggy, please excuse it when input from my side will be slowed, it'll come eventually however, I'd like to avoid being auto'd if possible. Please?

EDIT: Mine has calmed down again and works moderatly, but I'll need to run several Updates of Windows on it overnight, starting now. 'till tomorrow!~

No problem Phantom
