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.

Any other questions?

None Pizza with Left Beef (a custom homestuck epilogue that also delves into introducing the dungeon crashers in a visual medium, updates roughly every week, written in-setting. Highly recommended reading.)

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.

Places to find me:

Eggministrator of the Let's SOSL Reunion rp boards

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

My hoodie got here today!!!!

Here it is with my trusty cornstaff

[shinyjiggly]

I got a haircut today. I'm gonna miss my hair, but at least it'll be easier to deal with. 

Yes, these pics were taken on the same day.

[shinyjiggly]

I've been working on making some paper mache horns for an alphatimeline!Seth cosplay. Took this pic at 7 in the morning. The paper mache is mostly dried, sans the bottom edges. I managed to temporarily tape them to a stretchy headband so I could try to see how they fit. They're a bit tall, especially in the inside section, but it's still fixable.

Needless to say, even I'm afraid of that glare....

._.;;;;

[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.

Made a model of Chrono's lair in sketchup. I think it turned out pretty good. Here's the files if you want to check them out. There's a couple hidden goodies inside, including a failed render.

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.
