So, right, I run a Dungeons and Dragons group that's been going on for awhile (it's a tabletop role-playing game) (which is basically storytelling while getting into conflicts) (we're always taking new players, I can teach you, go to Mike's store for dice) but sometimes I like trying new games because one sheet games are easier for everyone to learn as there's literally like, three rules to learn and it's a good way to get started or try a new genre. I tried to play Lasers & Feelings with Teddy, but it turns out that when you're the long prophesized ruler of two forever warring races (thank you Kree, thank you Skrulls) who actually has to sit through hours long meetings with diplomatic envoys, it takes the fun out of roleplaying in space.

So, Feng Shui 2 is like playing a character in the most Michael Bay John Cena Dwayne The Rock Johnson Jason Momoa Jason Statham Whoever is the New James Bond John Wick Hey We Need Other Gender Representation Up In Action Movies cinematic masterpiece of all time. Think every action star cliché you can think of, and then put all of those characters in a movie with an unlimited CGI budget. Who are you? The grizzled veteran sucked in one last time? The child of a recently deceased famous parent come to make your parent proud?

For everyone who has always wanted to put on sunglasses while slo-mo walking away from an exploding building or pulled a helicopter out of the air by sheer brute strength, or said a quippy one liner before becoming a blur of martial arts, this is the game for you. Give me your action star name, your cliche/trope, and your signature move/catchphrase, and let's go save the world.

I don't have an official day yet, I figure when I find out who's interested I'll send out a few dates and we can pick whatever works best--and if there's a big demand we can make different groups by who is available when, I don't mind. As per usual, there will be snacks because if there's not food, Tommy will riot.

Teds

So the fighting made me think

Do you miss

Or maybe you don't miss because you're doing it

You were a better superhero than me

But maybe I sort of

What if


Hi.

Usually, you have to fight the dragons. Sometimes you hide from them.

Yeah, see. Not loving the fighting them part. We're usually nice until provoked.

Do you speak for all dragons, then?

As one, I think I can make a good case for a lot of them.

Are you a shapeshifter? Metallic dragon?

A shapeshifter implies I had a choice. But nothing metallic about me. Is that something from your world? Are your dragons for some reason shiny?

Forced polymorph? Ja - gold, brass, bronze, silver, copper dragons. They all have shapeshifting abilities when they age. Red, white, blue, black, and green dragons tend to be more combative on the whole, but cannot shapeshift.

Going to assume polymorph is a form of shapeshifting for you. But forced, sure. It's my punishment for some uncouth behavior in my youth.

That is how I turn into one occasionally, ja. It is learned magic. You pissed off the wrong person?

Learned as in you can teach it to me to someone else?

And if you consider the 'wrong person' to stand for a collective group of miserable little f people, then yes. But it was their fault first. I was retaliating.

Ah- ja. I am a magical tutor. But it is very powerful magic that took me a while to perfect.

I understand. I am sorry you are stuck now in a form that you are not comfortable. I have a spell I created to help a friend in a similar situation but I do not know if it is powerful enough to combat fae magic, or to help with a dragon. In this case it was just a halfling that was turned into a goblin against her will.

Powerful magic or not, I'm willing to try anything if you are.

I will look into it. I am Caleb Widogast, you can usually find me at Chastity's Nook if you are in need of me.

We do have another dragon here on the network - Temeraire. Have you met?

That's the bookstore, right? You own a bookstore and tutor in magic?


We have not yet. Are they also a hum Metallic like yours or another lineage entirely?

Ja, I like books.

He is not from my world, or from this one, so another I would imagine. But he is all black.

Any books? I was under the impression that the bookstore was specialized.


And he doesn't shapeshift? Just a dragon all the time like normal.

I have a very extensive private library but ja the bookstore is erotic and rare books.


Ah- I think he does? I have seen him as a human on the network but I have not inquired to how.

Myself, my associate, and my Eliphas will be by your bookshop shortly.
