Due to general agreement between people on both sides of the line, TOWN and ACRO have been merged. Thus, all threads which previously would have fallen in once category or another, should now be tagged [NEXUS].



LONG LIVE THE NEXUS!

:wink:

So, what is Nexus?
Well, the Nexus itself is like a rift, a single, brilliant point where all the universes in this strange thing we call 'reality' meet. Traveling to, from, and between any world or cosmology is theoretically possible here, and the Nexus itself seems to encourage this happening, often sucking beings and locations out of other universes at random, and dumping them on the world that lies at its center. It was not always like this, however. Once there were two worlds at the Nexus' heart, separate and distinct, though somewhat similar in ways. Similar enough that they slowly and eventually merged, so that only one remained. Here in this world the Nexus' influence reigns supreme, and as such the world has defied almost all attempts at classification. Here, knights of old may engage with Jedi knights. Gleaming spaceships land in Dark Age hamlets. Cowboys and samurai quest together to find holy sandwich boxes. And in the heavens above, Xi Wangmu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster meet every Woden's Day to play bowls with Pelor (it gets pretty epic). Here the possibilities are endless, and the universe without rules (except the Forum Rules, and the general FFRP rules, and the Individual Thread Rules, and oh whatever). Welcome to Nexus. Fun is had here.

Major Locales

For an endless world that defies all logic and classification, Nexus can be pretty darn consistent at times. As such, several locations have survived the test of time, remaining (somewhat) constant amidst the chaos of the rest of the world.

Town - At the heart of the Nexus lies the city-state of Town. Self-governed by an elected council, Town can most accurately be described as a city's planner's worst nightmare. A sump of urban madness, here spires of glass and steel can be seen next to Ancient Babylonian slum. Where Hellenistic Temples co-exist with Gothic Cathedrals and the odd Oriental Pagoda. Where crumbling, zombie infested crypts lie untouched in the middle of verdant parkland. It's craaaaaazy. It's Town.

Inside - A sister city to Town, the City of Inside is less chaotic than its close relative. Inside mostly resembles a modern city, with high-rise buildings and apartments, alleyways and roads, though the odd Demonic Monument can still be seen rising up above the surrounding suburb, teeming with dark cultists. Inside is the current seat of the Acronymian Empire, which controls much of the surrounding area.

Outside - If you ain't Inside (or in Town), you're OUTSIDE! :smallamused: Simple as that. Outside is a meta-thread for all those wildernessy type areas that don't merit their own threads, be it wood or lake or tiny shack.

ACRONYMS - Home to adventurers, these complexes provide headquarters and occasionally living space for like-minded Player Characters. Invariably equipped with cheesy names, these structures provide a place for their various members to fight crime, cause chaos, or have kinky lesbian sex. Current Acronyms include:

AMEN - Association for the Malicious, Evil and Nefarious. Evil aligned organization, exists to be EVIL! And sometimes Ebil.
HALO - Heroic, Anti-evil and Lawbreaking Organization. Non-Evil aligned organization, exists to smite wrong-doers.
GLoG - Good League of Good. Good aligned organization, exists to redeem evil-doers.
NO - Neutralist Oganization. Neutral aligned organization, exists to arbitrate between other organizations, and occasionally do their dirty work.
WATCHTOWER - You Know What? Screw It. Non-aligned aligned organization. Exists to destroy threats to Nexus, whatever form they may take.


The Taverns
What kind of vaguely DnDesque adventurer would you be if you didn't visit one of these places at least once? The various Taverns, Grills, Hotels, Cantinas and Restaurant provide meeting places for the Player Characters, areas for quest givers to stand mysteriously in, and also places for people to eat and spend the money they seem to have infinite amounts of. Though there are a vast number of such places in Nexus, some with their own thread and some without, throughout history three major hubs have existed, without which Nexus as we know it wouldn't exist. The Dancing Fox Inn, which is located in Town. Taverna Generica, which is located near Inside. And Trog's Tavern, which is located, maddeningly enough, in Town and Inside at the same time.

Nexus? In my white text?

My Dwarfs would be happy to help goblins. They certainly aren't speciesist. KK lives in a sensible timezone. Reinholdt's characters are well-adjusted.

In all seriousness, they might help out. Probably should aim to talk to the male dwarf first though. He doesn't have a crossbow.

Hey, I never said they'll be happy to help out, just that they'd fit this plot well.

Hey all in case someone has noticed I have posted in several days, and I think it is time to make it official. I'm going to take a Hiatus from posting. I don't know how long it is going to be. I think I am going to work on making my own Host a Murder Mystery.

So until I get back here is what is happening with my 3 most active characters.

Angie has disappeared from HALO. All her stuff, the few possessions she had, are still in her room. Someone might spot her in the Slums every now and then, but if they try to investigate she disappears.

Snake Lady that joined AMEN is off trying to gather as much info about GLoG and all of it's members as possible. Trying to figure out something about who killed the snake man several months back.

Phoebe a little annoyed at the fact that the quest she was on wasn't adventurous enough she wandered off into the desert.

I'm feeling like the dialogue is too heavy for each panel.

If you take your time with the comic (specifically drawing, but writing as well) the result will be more rewarding. Eventually, you will be able to do much more in much less time.

Maxios
2010-11-13, 10:37 PM
Alright. Next time, I'll take longer on it. Also, it says continued tomorrow on each because I wrote the strips a few days ago, and planned on doing them the day after the other, then I decided to put both on the site at the same time.

To the others: Ah no. I guess that goes to randomly looking at the people who posted in the various threads, and naming them like that.

Moff Chumley
2010-11-13, 10:46 PM
Er, guys, I don't think it's quite necessary to officially withhold permission to use your characters... don't ya think just not explicitly giving permission is alright? :smallconfused:

Ashen Lilies
2010-11-13, 10:48 PM
Yeah. Maybe you could illustrate one of the strips Kris.

v Recaiden: Man! I really need to someone to name the Hooded Skeleton dude after!

Sorry, it's the illustrating that takes the most time. :smalltongue:
It already takes me more than an hour to draw a single avatar; a full sized comic could take me the half a day. Add in a complicated action sequence, and... :smalleek: Time better spent doing homework (or posting on the forums and not doing homework, as the case may be... >.>).
Of course, I could speed things up by using copy pasta and dropping the art quality, but... where's the fun in that? The excessive amounts of artsiness would be kind of the draw, dig? I mean, no one would read it for the writing. :smalltongue:

Anyways if I did do a comic, it would probably be more along the lines of Angelic Slayer or that one comic Free Hand did, with all the answering of questions and general gag stuff, with a few mini-arcs. Kris doesn't have the attention span for plawt, especially not drawn out over weeks like in a webcomic. v.v

@v: Indeed you did. I could tell. It's not a good thing. :smallconfused:

Maxios
2010-11-13, 10:51 PM
Kid Kris: I copy paste to make the comic. If you look at the one with The Beast, his posture is the same in the first two panels.
The current strips are currently flashbacks, and will be for 3 or 4 more, and will not involve big action sequences.

Recaiden
2010-11-13, 10:51 PM
Er, guys, I don't think it's quite necessary to officially withhold permission to use your characters... don't ya think just not explicitly giving permission is alright? :smallconfused:

Seeing that Kris was there, I think so. The name Recaiden should only be associated with me.

Diabolic Slayer with hell gags? Come on, you know you want to! :smallbiggrin:

Maxios
2010-11-13, 10:54 PM
To clarify, I didn't get Kris' permission. I just decided to name the character that.
All future embodiments, if named after a user, will be drawn like their current avatar. That means if Moff says I could use his name as an embodiment, we may have a Deadpool embodiment :smalleek:
I'm also thinking about naming the hooded figure Nameless, due to large similarities between his avatar, and the character.

happyturtle
2010-11-13, 10:56 PM
You really should get permission before using anyone's name. Or lack of name, in the case of Nameless. :smalltongue:

Maxios
2010-11-13, 10:57 PM
Your point is valid Happyturtle. I'll PM Nameless and ask.

Yes. I'm not going to demand that you rename your character, or anything silly like that, especially since 'Kris' is a common enough name to pin on simple coincidence, but it does rather irk me. :smallconfused:
If anyone ever refers to him as 'Kid' though, I'm gunning you down. :smalltongue:

Maxios
2010-11-13, 10:58 PM

I guess we the discussion of the Nexus webcomic must continue in it's thread.

Ashen Lilies
2010-11-13, 11:18 PM
I regret this. Says the Not-Man, and thinks. All od DC's devices should fritz, because Not-Man has just removed the laws of physics that allow them to function, replacing them with pure magic and illogic. Private morphic demiplanes of insanity are like that.

I'd argue that most of DC's devices run on pure magic and illogic already. They certainly don't obey any physical laws I've ever seen. :smalltongue:

Darkcomet
2010-11-13, 11:23 PM
I'd also argue that physics-deleting is breaking the rules of the fight.

Shadow guy kinda let himself get maneuvered into a corner with DC's precise omission of things that weren't 'mental attacks' in the 'list of things DC isn't allowed to do'. :smalltongue:

Boo

"limiting any godly abilities to a sane level"

So instead of starting with the character and finding a themesong, I wanna try the reverse.

Boo
2010-11-14, 12:41 AM
A drug addicted scientist who has developed a love potion that only affects hot hipster (or indie) chicks. Alternatively: mistakenly used the love potion on him/herself and is in love with someone or something (such as a lamp).

The first minute made me think of CSI montages and it took off from there.

Moff Chumley
2010-11-14, 12:54 AM
I think the drug-addicted part is pretty obvious. But I'm not sure about the indie/hipster part, seeing as Era Vulgaris only managed a 6.2 on Pitchfork. :smalltongue:

Moff Chumley
2010-11-14, 01:11 AM
Subtle. I dig it. However, a case could be made that Nexus has a significant dearth of indie chicks. Or even chicks that swing that way, and you can ask anyone, I don't play whiney characters, and since it's me playin' em, that means unsuccessful characters. :smalltongue:

Boo
2010-11-14, 01:22 AM

Hmm... maybe a choose your own adventure RPG style thing? Probably less artistically demanding since you'd only have to do one or two panels per update.
The only problem is trying to fend off the inevitable massive wave of MS Paint Adventure references...
Perhaps a post-apocalyptic setting where pumpkins are extinct... :smalltongue:

What's the short version of this monster hunter plot? It probably wouldn't fit Lo, I don't think.

The gist of it is: some goblin NPCs from Inside, played by me, want to settle down in their own mountain colony. They're hiring people both from organizations and unafilliated, to clear the mountain out of monsters first. Meaning that a character will simply enter, slay some monsters and leave.
On another note, I made another attempt at a Wenomir TekTek avatar. While the creator doesn't seem to contain a simple mail and surcoat, I managed to achieve something relatively satisfactory:

ThePhantom

Oh, Gordon pays them well. They get vacations to Hawaii, very good health insurance (Note, no life insurance), and once Gordon wins, they'll lord over the people. After all, at that point, they won't be the member's targets.

If you use the report function on any thread, you can request a mod to change the tag (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9239406#post9239406), as well as ask permission to revive it (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9758865&postcount=3).

Or you can make a new thread, but with the necromancy limit being changed to 6 weeks, it's likely to need more permission granted every time a new set of customers arrive.

The fact that people recognized the apocabeast as actually existing (no offense, Macks, but it's honestly the sort of hellspawn you'd see as a MCDONALD'S KID'S MEAL TOY) gave me several heart attacks.

Every character? Hmmmm...... Prince is very tough and skilled, yes, but any wizard could take him down with a hold person spell, or other such thing. Heck, take away his bag of holding and a novice wizard could take him. Mercury? Really doesn't have much but illusions, and is exhausted very easily by non-illusions, his offensive power is pretty much nil. Chezchire can teleport, has floating eyes that let him see stuff, and can stretch his jaw. Somewhat owerful, but dimensional lock or anything of the kind is a death toll for him, and I try not to overuse teleport in (serious) fights.

The Weather cannot attack people except through his champion the Weatherman, who is a pacifist, and would die to a quick stab to the back. The Not-Man cannot leave his private demi-plane, so yes, ludicrous power, but only if you walk in and attack/challenge him. Riv was very overpowered for a time, but is now one-armed, powerless, crippled and mortal. My powerfull characters all have serious limits, in case you didn't notice.

Plus? LANTERN was Maxios's idea. I just joined cause it looked like a cool place to hang out.

1. I seem to recall Mercury telekinetically yanking at a certain hat with the strength of a bulldozer. And yes I'm aware Altara is rather high powered, so no, you can't use that against me either.
2. Something about Prince having Exalted powers...? Uncertain of the status of that, really. Vaguely remember him going to Haruki's Witch to get his powers back...
3. ...you know what, never mind, I've noticed a pattern.

She can be provided with a spaceship. :smallamused:

Yes but then KR will have to deal with a meager defense system guarding the base, then an army of people with power rings.

Good point. It's under the assumption though, that by the time KR does get a spaceship, there will be a bunch of people in the team.

1. Yes, but that took out a good third of his magical reserves in one shot. Which is why he had to give up. As I said, he does non non-illusions, but they cost him a lot. And dangit, the bit about Altara killed my retort, as I knew this would come up and thought of one in advance.:smalltongue:

2. He's actually a defective Exalted proto-type from a alternate universe. He's stronger, faster, and tougher while using his powers, but he lacks the Charms and such that make Exalted kickbutt. And he got his powers back, but he can only use them if someone asks him to or to defend himself. He's pretty much incapable of attacking anyone. Very much overcomplicated? Yes. Fun? Yes.

And yes, I like glass cannons and powerful characters with massive limitations. Like being trapped in a demi-plane or stupidity of beyond-Elan levels.

Then you know that Watchtower was set up to stop APOCALYPSES. It would probably be a half day event for them. Might even put it on the same day as bring your child to work.

You could however have Lantern attack Watchtower. They might even blink.

So... yeah, you plan to steal an organization's means of DOING STUFF and their HQ.

And KR's ship.

Still assuming too much. Like neither side getting pissed that he's working with both.

Or that he can stay on the sidelines the whole time.

Or that he doesn't end up innocent bystander #27.

@ Spaceship talk: KR knows how to cast teleport, or can find someone who can. Space isn't as large a barrier as you think it is? :smallconfused::smalltongue:

But yeah. I doubt it would happen. KR's just going to go over to the Taverna, ask the box to take her to its leader, and then have a nice, civilized discussion about why handing out power rings to every Tom, Richard and Harry who comes across the box is a bad idea. Because obviously that's what KR does. Obviously.
