what is sbarb dungeon crashers? it sounds v cool and like smth id be interested in but i wanna learn more :]

Brief History:

SBARG 2.5 dungeon crashers is a mostly discord based roleplay thing with both casual everyday stuff and occasional scheduled events. It's the most recent iteration of SBARG canon, which had begun with the SBARG arg/rp that had started over ten years ago, continued with a more session-focused campaign with SBARGv2, and continued on with the interquel SBARG 1.5 lost pawns, past claiming the ultimate reward to fill in important parts of the plot that hadn't been fulfilled.

Lore:

SBARG 2.5 dungeon crashers takes place after the events of all those past campaigns, and is largely focused in the Gene universe, which had been cursed to either never have a succeeding session, or only have sessions with a recursive ultimate reward that only leads back to Gene.

It is here that the ex-players of SBARGv2 (and those that have allied with them) live, trying to be responsible adults and protect their home together.

Standing against them, is the hellish corporation VoidCo, which has placed countless soul draining "dungeon cores" across the cosmos, to leech off of the countless civilized worlds that can be found in Gene. Based in the furthest ring, they are lead by their CEO, Dylan, a thousand year old grimdark page of void. He is known for his erratic and often violent behavior (and it's honestly a miracle that he hasn't made the company go under yet)

To counter the evil acts of VoidCo, the Dungeon crashers organization was formed. Their de facto leader is a Witch of Time by the name of Katyleen Kitten, who is also the president of the Desertia system. Under her leadership, the dungeon crashers seek out dungeons where the dungeon cores have been placed, in order to destroy or otherwise deactivate them.

When not crashing dungeons however, the crashers have their daily lives to attend to. Many of them have day jobs, some of them should positions of power, some of them train pokemon, and some raise families. Some even do a bit of interdimensional travel on occasion. No matter what though, the Desertian government usually provides for those who ally with the organization.

Gameplay:

During non-event times, proceedings are largely freeform, with dicerolls optional unless requested. Time runs in realtime or adjusted realtime, with time on Desertia assumed to follow Central time zone. Various common locales have different amenities, such as food, shops, lodging, and methods of long distance travel. much of it is flavor or narrative table dressing, but can be leveraged for slice of life scenarios.

During event times, there will be an event runner, which is a role that anyone can potentially take on if they schedule an event. do note that events must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, and have a description of expected significant contents, especially if they are expected to have significant effect to anything that has been narratively claimed/defined by another person. Dungeon crawl events are one of the types of events that can be ran, but they are certainly not the only kind.

Running a VoidCo dungeon:

There are countless ways to build and run a voidco dungeon as a dungeon master. the main thing to remember is that a dungeon is defined by the presence of a dungeon core. Everything else is variable to your needs. Will there be puzzles? will there be combat? will there be an inexplicable timeshare meeting? that's up to you to decide when you act as a dungeon master. is it part of an established location? is it an introduction of a new one? what did the place used to be before it was a dungeon? what sort of financial quackery did voidco inflict upon those who called this place home? These are all questions worth finding answers to.

Combat and confrontation:

Combat is rather fast and loose, but often makes use of a d20. fancier rolls (such as those that involve advantage rolls, slight additions, side subtractions with additions that somehow add up to 20) are recommended to be figured out by the players, as rolling a raw d20 is often going to result in action failure. The exacts of how rolls work largely depend upon narrative reason, and can be discussed as needed, due to the sheer open customizability that cannot possibly be handled by any amounts of tables while still focusing on writing. usually, one must roll at least over a 10 or half maximum roll to succeed, and descriptions of actions taken are expected, taking any applicable rolls and scenario details into consideration.

As of note, less violent methods, such as persuasion and such, can be handled with or without dice contest (dependant on the discretion of the event runner or other person involved), and likely will focus on the content of the significant speech or actions in order to determine results and reactions.

If an event is being ran on Plit, refer to dnd 5e rules and hope that you brought a filled in character sheet.

Pokemon battles:

These can either follow the fast and loose style, or make use of an online framework, such as pokemon showdown. because pokemon of all kinds are potentially allowed (yes, including glitch pokemon, fakemon, pokemon from the card game, custom formes, and whatever else within narrative reach), those that cannot be defined in an official game will likely need to use the fast and loose combat scheme. a pokemon may only have selection of four different moves during a battle, and ability to dodge is determined by move accuracy/pokemon evasiveness. some details can be fudged as agreed upon by your opponent, but concrete things such as type advantages, move effects, and the like are set in stone. don't be afraid to play up terrain effects, however. as expected, a winner is decided when all but one side are unable to battle or have otherwise forfeited.

If you wish to battle a gym leader, please schedule with the one playing the gym leader. 24 hour event wait need not apply, but the gym leader's personal schedule should be respected.

For clarity, I will assume it's a queen size bed.

Now usually, LS and SJ always sleep separately, but in a case where they have to, they'd probably try to sleep back to back.

Add Rise to the mix, and they'd probably try to keep to themself on the other end of the bed, and just try to focus on sleeping.

If you wanted to add Mimi, they would likely sleep under the bed because they're basically the comic relief void player™ and sleep in weird places.

Thoren would likely sit on the floor next to the bed, on Rise's side, plugged into the closest outlet.

In the case of a twin size bed, things would get awkward fast. Rise might even join Thoren on the floor next to the bed to avoid embarrassment.

There is only one bed. What do your OCs do?

Ask Dylan

What happens when a void player grows up (debatedly) and becomes the CEO of a company in the middle of the furthest ring?

Read the entire finished story, mirrored and remastered from the original threadventure, for your reading pleasure!

There's thrills! Chills! Explosions! Horrors! Absolute bullshit!

(And yet, despite even smashing the 4th wall into a thousand tiny pieces, it still manages to be part of left beef canon.)

[shinyjiggly]

feeling like crap, feeling like my writings and worldbuilding stuff related to sburb/sbarg stuff is being invalidated. Who freaking cares is sburb itself isn't fucking glitchable in homestuck canon?! why the hell is that considered cringe anyways?! (this is of course ignoring the fact that the narrative media got fucked up on two different occasions!!!! and the fact that JPEG ARTIFACTS EXIST!!)

and then the things about classpect theory... I always sorta prided myself at being nerdy and knowledgeable about popular classpect theory, but somehow its never fucking enough and apparently you're SUPPOSED to make your own damn titles instead of working out and extrapolating a puzzle and building from a flexible framework of vaguely defined combinations... ugh.

I'm just really hurt and bitter and feeling inadequate in the face of sburb connoisseurs when all I wanna do is write about cool shit with emotional depth.

Alright, I'm off now.

With the eve of the tumblrpocolypse upon us and an important message to be sent via staying the hell away from here to make the numbers tank out of spite, it's my time to take my coat and hat and travel to off to greener pastures. I have a twitter, but unless you guys REALLY want me to become a reblogging machine over there, don't expect anything more than replies from me. I don't even hit the like button unless it's being used as a direct means of communication. It's practically a second reblog button over there after all.

Thanks to the efforts of Blaze/Wertercatt, all important sbarg stuff should already be archived. I ain't deleting anything so unless staff has their way, the blogs under my care won't be getting destroyed.

Oh yeah, I forgot I also have a (barely ever updated) YouTube channel

Don't be afraid to drop a line wherever you can, I'll be out there, still working on my games.

Seeya guys! And keep on cooking!

SBARG 1.5 Lost Pawns has reached the ending! Read all about it in the forum adventure that I’ve just completed, just in time for the anniversary!

Come celebrate 5 years of friendship and hardship in #The_Former_SBARG_Players with us! (via pesterchum, in-character memo, might also have an out of character memo if enough non-rpers show up)

There will be a group photo drawn, but that will take a couple days, and references for as many players as possible will be needed for the highest quality image.

...I am in a very stressed disposition over the fact that 

a: I can’t find my sd card adapter 

b: I have to upload to twitter, one image at a time, via 3ds, and endure loading waits and disconnection errors that force you to reselect the picture from a slow loading list at best

c: twitter fucking up and died in the middle of my thing.

Tell me when these things are fixed so I can get back to updating. I’m gonna get something to eat.

Hey guys, join this message board!

Are you tired of scrolling through tumblr posts to get to sbarg related content? Do you have limited online time? Do you want to actually have a reliable way to communicate with others in the sbarg fandom from across time and space?

Look no further! The Let's SOSL forums are here! It has potentially pretty much everything this group needs to stick together without having to show up to any specific pesterchum peak hours or anything.

Nearly all of the current action on the lostpawns side and the v2 reunion side is currently going on here. Also, there is a fair amount of interesting content worth reading here as well.

If you’re brand new, it might be a good idea to introduce yourself to the crew.

Here is the thign, enter if u dare

[shinyjiggly]

So you told me about lost pawns but what is going on in there? Is there a story?

Yep, there’s a story. It involves escapees from the reset v1 session (as well as stragglers from other sessions), a horrorterror seeking retroactive revenge, dreambubbles, a meteor from which most players may not escape in the middle of the void, timeline splits, and the altered paths of a certain chump.

The main point is that this is here to fill in some plotholes left behind and give the group an excuse to hang out again.

The memo-style-memo (which is called #The_former_SBARG_players, named after the memo of the same name that had appeared directly after the end of v1) is accessible from nearly anywhere in paradox space, even from other universes and timelines.

In terms of action, because I’m pretty much running the show with minimal assistance, a lot of it is idle filler action, often initiated by the other players. Most of the time I’m mostly just making sure the player resources are organized so things flow easier (logs, maps, etc). When there isn’t that much plot-wise going on, GMPC’s will occasionally show up to spice things up, but not really all that much. Currently in terms of progress in the plot, the main puzzletrail arc is already completed, and currently it’s on the roleplaying arc, which involves the players going on stage and completing story-specific objectives, often in costume.

An important note about puzzles: because IC the players are restricted access to only a select group of websites, the puzzles are designed with those limitations in mind (though because the group doesn’t really do puzzles very well, there’s been a huge cut-back on them.)

There’s currently a tangentially related fanadventure currently being ran, which has its own layer of explanations behind it, and stuff is eventually gonna go down, eventually.

For an extended recap, refer to the infopage.

Also, we have a skype group, if you’re interested in joining that. It’s where all the ooc banter usually happens daily.

Chronos Pumpkin

10/25/14 - 11/2/14

Like the rest of my time, you were destroyed. I only wish I got some better pictures before you were carried out to the road by those chumps in this neighborhood. Goodbye my dear friend, and may you leave this world knowing that you made someone smile slightly more often after work.

[shinyjiggly]

(whiny self-depriciating rant)

Last night I stayed up until 2am working on a map for a highly derivative fanadventure, as well as a lowpoly model of something I plan on making a plushie for. I woke up at 9am, as I occasionally seem to do, and on cue, my stepdad begins yelling at me for sleeping in while he has an actual job. The difference today though, is that he mentioned that if I don't have a game plan of some sort to gain income that he actually agrees with, I may wind up getting kicked out.

I know what I have done wrong. I've been spending my time (and everyone else's time) working on projects that by law cannot ever allow their creator to gain money from, and thus I've been mooching off my parents for the past couple months by been living at their house again. They only really let me stay here because they had set up a savings account for me in the past that had accumulated enough to pay for a couple month's rent for me. Technically it doesn't run out until the end of July, but I was supposed to be finding a job in the meantime too.

For the first month I went out and filled out applications all over the place, particularly focusing on a specific locally-owned pizza place that really needed somebody. I didn't get any of them. The pizza place fell through because I didn't denko them enough (I was supposed to call them every day, but I only called them like, once a week).

As some of you guys might already know, I have no official prior employment history. I've babysat before, but that doesn't count because it's essentially getting paid a couple bucks to watch a kid, with no hope of being able to support yourself on said couple bucks because the client is already working for minimum wage, like a respectable member of society.

I've also attempted to sell knives, but the contract for that one specifically said that it didn't count, as well as the fact that during the entire time when I should have been calling massive networks of strangers, I had only sold one potato peeler to some apparently "unqualified" (according to their standards: I was supposed to talk about their dumb "oh they're not serrated, they're proprietary serrated" knives to married midle-aged couples, preferably homeowners) nice retired folks that my parents know that live down the street. All in all, I only made 27 bucks, which didn't even pay for the massive amounts for busfare that it took for me to attend their trainings.

I had also helped my dad with his paint jobs as a painter assistant, but that's just family work and I'm not even that good at prepping an area to be painted, especially compared to my dad, who's been a journeyman-level painter for as long as I've been alive pretty much. Yes, I had put painter's assistant and babysitter on my resume, but it has not gotten me anywhere (I've also put SBARGv2 puzzlewriter in the others section of my resume, but nobody that I've applied for even knows what that is and it's not even relevant to most of the stuff I've applied for).

But for most of the months since being rejected by the pizza place for lack of confidence, I've been spending my hours in my room, drawing things for others (asking nothing in return but acknowledgement because I know under Hussie's word that I would get sued for asking for money on anything related to his work, and besides, fanadventures are supposed to be free to read), talking to friends, visiting my boyfriend, and doing some slight babysitting occasionally, but otherwise not doing what I'm supposed to be doing; getting a job.

My little brother (who is 12, goes to school, and swears like a chump) rubs it in every day how lazy I am for sitting in my room on perfectly nice days. My mom, kind and distanced as always, is occasionally encouraging, occasionally stern, and occasionally gives me bus money for seeking out places to work at, but that's it.

Ultimately it is my fault that I am in this current predicament. If I had more job experience, payed less attention to my passions (which are free for a reason to the general public), called places to the point of being uncomfortable and hating myself for putting them through this, and actually knew what sort of job I was looking for that I'd actually be good at that is actually hiring, I would not be getting yelled at for sleeping in until 9am when my stepdad has to wake up at 7 to make enough cash to make ends meet.

I don't know what to do. I can't just ambiguously "get a job" in one single day with my skillset and motivation. 99% of the businesses in this town either don't have openings for entry-level, or I'm not looking hard enough. I'm willing to bet it's mostly the latter, considering how easy those yelling at me seem to thing getting a job can be for a first-timer.

I need a way forwards and I need to plan it out today. I'm not sure what I can do though...

Glitchquest notes

Well, considering chaoseed mentioned some stuff on his end about the Helper 5000 puzzleset, I thought I might as well chip in on the explanation stuff.

For this one, I sorta wanted to make a walkaround, but didn't want to have another super-long hiatus like last time the openbound engine was used. So, I went for the next best thing: a non-linear puzzlequest-type thing.

As some of you might already know, we collected a list of errors that the players had "found" using the #v2errlog tag, and using what they came up with, we devised possible ways to fix them.

Glitchquest takes place in a zone known as the Skaian Magicant, a sort of debug zone/warp zone described in the SBURB Glitch FAQ. The goal of this puzzle is to somehow find a back-door to Skaia, so as to avoid the brunt of the glitch radiation from traveling through the cloud layers. Normally, it probably should have been put together with FF6 sprites, considering it's supposed to be based off of the sound test area from Alterniabound, but I felt like making some tiles from scratch instead.

Accurate to the FAQ, it begins when Seth clips into the ground and lands somewhere completely different. The obvious warp-pipe of the first room is to drive home the point of it being a warp zone.

Seth's sprites are in modified earthbound overworld style, to match the Prospit/Derse walkaround sprites. I mostly went for trying to show him as the dorky chump kid who's still figuring things out. Do note that this took place a couple weeks before he had began his path of destruction, so it still makes  perfect sense to convey his character in that fashion.

Many of the rooms were mostly there for either aesthetic value or to connect to places that we wanted to show off. A thing to note is that on each of the pages, there were layers of hidden text in the source, laden with commentary from Ornis.

The first junction is fairly simple in design. Four cardinal directions with a Light symbol on the floor for flavor (I guess you could make it a Mario 64 reference?).

The room to the west is filled with, wait for it... toilets. This is a reference to the error line in the enter flash where it says Porcelain Stolen, which had become slightly mematic after AE's post of a gif of Bafafeman stealing a porcelain vase. They are edited from the building puzzle toilets for top-down instead of platformer view. Apparently over the course of things, FL or somebody like that had busted the toilets, apparently in a vain attempt to search for treasure. (who the heck stores treasure in a toilet???)

The room right after that is a warp straight to the Bacafe cafe, which was a popular player-made location-turned hub area. 

Do note that the layout of this picture is intentionally inaccurate, as our staff never obtained the map of the room like we had attempted to get during Ornis's first visit. So I worked vaguely from the little I could glean from the logs that I had received (I'm still angry at avidCurator/billiardHounds for event-blocking me from accessing that event >_>). Unfortunately, because the actual puzzle apparently has authority over players and not everyone has the actual schematics, this became the base for the layout that most people recognized. Despite the stupid horrible mixup for the sake of staying undercover, I still consider this panel to be a favorite just because of Seth spinning on a barstool alone in the Bacafe. This room's source contained a string of numbers in it...

Below the Light Junction, there is a much more confusing junction. The west path there led to a room filled with prospitians in test-tubes, similar to the carapace experiments on the troll meteor lab.

Further from there was the gateway to the Spaghetti Code. A white and green cursor can be seen dragging a string of binary across the screen.In case you're wondering, the name of the page in binary doesn't really spell anything significant, in text it translates to :* apparently.

Fun fact: spaghetti code is a term used in programming that refers to code that's really hard to read due to being convolutedly structured, maybe even to the point where maybe even the original creator wouldn't be able to make sense of it anymore. This was in part, an internal excuse for bugfixing in-story taking so long. It is also another noodle symbol, which in a way sort of reveals that SBURB really is meant to be played cooperatively, it's right there in the code! (stap going so far with the noodle symbols sheesh) Another number string is in the source...

To the east of the weird junction is a split path, separated by a pile of unmovable boxes (which were referenced in the meteor basement dungeon event). The upper path leads to Ornis's workstation, with an oddly cryptic hint: "One 'o clock, what a position to begin at...". There is also a number string in the source here. Is this perhaps the beginning of something?

The lower path leads to an empty room containing the puzzlequest guy, passed out on the floor. Compared to other dersites in the same sprite style, he seems rather different looking, right? As expected by now, there is also a number string hiding here.

There is a path east of the Light Junction that leads to a library. It is here that Seth finds what appears to be Chronos' diary. I definately had a lot of fun writing entries for this. It basically drove home the fact that Chronos was in fact previously posing as the Guardian. All the while, there were hover-over messages in chronoquirk mocking the reader, as well as retorts in the page names. Another thing that was placed in there was revealing the previously hinted dangerous April fools joke that never happened, due to being too dangerous to execute (as well as the fact that Seth would have fallen for it and therefore screw up his plans).

At the end of the diary entries, there is a hint in the source: "around the clock it goes". This connects to the other hint that mentioned something about a clock. This hint was supposed to indicate the order of number strings.

As far south without warping, there is a room with some sparse furniture.

To the west of that is a warp leading to The Veil, conspicuously close to the Blue Hole. The blue hole was actually a very interesting submission by an act 2-3 hope player known as elaborateUtopianist. Because of the severity of it, as well as how much of a cop-out it would be to get rid of something that freaking huge and scary so easily, it was not fixed this round, instead waiting until the class puzzles to stall it and then having the players deal with it personally near the end. There is a number string here too, better write it down!

To the south of the couch room is a warp leading to Derse. There is a Dersite guard blocking the stairway leading down. At first it seems pretty normal, same exact layout as it had in the walkaround, but there's something different. The walls are scrawled upon with various messages, including the BNY code, a SBHJ face, the puzzlequest guy being eaten by the metal eel-thing, and the word "chump". It's unknown who exactly drew these. Perhaps it is best left a mystery. Grab the number string while you're here.

In the room to the east, there is a record player with some of the songs that were featured earlier in the story, as well as some others. The gramophone is heavily based off of the one from alterniabound, which is ripped straight from FF6. There is surprisingly, no number string in this one, only a cryptic hint: "a rift only reached by leaps". This is supposed to be a hint on how to get to Skaia, the leaps being manual url entering.

Once the players obtained all of the number strings, they would have to put them in clockwise room order, starting with the one at 1 'o clock: Ornis's workstation. If they got the number string correctly ordered, it would lead them to the boss battle, which chaoseed has covered already.

I really think this one turned out pretty fun and invoked the community effort and sense of discovery pretty well. It's not every day you get a puzzle quite like this.

The captchalogue card hunt: part 2

Link to part 1

Because nobody went out to find the irl captchacards, we had to make a back-up puzzle that didn't involve physical locations.

We still wanted the players to find the captchalogue cards, but we had to figure out a way for them to seek them out that would be easy to put together and hard for them to figure out as a punishment for not taking the easy route and looking for the physical ones. We decided to hide links to them on webpages.

Kaylen got in contact with the folks who ran the MSPA wiki and we were able to hide four hyperlinks on four pages of choice. To keep things simple, we chose pages that had to do with the previously posted picture hints, and modified the QR codes. So as to make it more difficult, we added another step to the process. The hyperlinks that were once on these pages led to puzzle pages. (The hyperlinks on the MSPA wiki were taken down after entry, when they weren't needed anymore, but the puzzle pages themselves remain up. Now they can be found on a particular page on the SBARGv2 wiki, and are heavily hinted by a doodle I did a while back when the pages were already found.)

In the source for each of these pages was an encrypted message and a hint of some sort regarding which cipher to use. The ciphers were set up with a program called Cipher Classics. At some point, a second set of hints were distributed as a response to an ask, cryptically confirming the existence of magic.

On that page, a series of hints were placed in the source, each leading to different webpages. These pages contained references to previous puzzles, such as the unaccounted pumpkin error code and the twocanplay.wav puzzle. Key words from these puzzles turned out to be the keys needed to crack the codes.

Many of the puzzles were solved after a large amount of puzzlesolving efforts. It was at this time that another was introduced, under the handle sourFruit. He was there to spark discussion about the ciphers. As those who remember him from act 4, sourFruit was the Prince of Space known as Brae, with Kaylen as his psuedoexile. Eventually though, he "found" the program used and the others were able to finally solve the remaining ciphers.

At the end of each cipher, there was a 3D rotating punched card (made by madmonkey), each with a code that matched its physical counterpart. The players had to figure out the captchalogue code from the punched hole patterns. This was relatively easy, considering there's a tool to be able to do that already.

Once all four captchalogue codes were entered, a confirmation post was posted and the [S] Enter sequence was posted the next day.
