quote:TT: She attempted to enforce "blood casting" through efforts to genetically alter people's blood color. That was an ugly chapter. Lotta fuckin' people died from that debacle. Could this be a potential origin for UU/uu? Maybe they're some kind of futuristic human/troll genetic abomination (or human/Carapace mix) left behind after Dirk and Roxy enter the game.

Looking forward to Rose and Dave vs. Sea Hitler. I am sincerely hoping for a flash of it. Though, I get the bad feeling that as Dirk says they're still alive, they've ended up in a similar fate to the The Wiioniic.

Wow, that's much more specific information than I was expecting. It seems a lot of this is just the Condesce being homesick.  And, as previously suggested by Doc Scratch, a Gl'bgolyb-like creature seems to be calling the shots to some degree, or keeping her in line in any case. Still unclear how much of what's been going on is her own agenda and how much is Lord English's.

I'm pretty sure Dirk meant they were still alive in Jake and Jane's time, not his and Roxy's. Which doesn't necessarily mean they aren't being kept alive by the Condesce's powers, but so far I'm not sure there's evidence to say that they are either.

I was actually thinking the same thing and it is an interesting possibility. It would make UU/uu's name significant. They are the bridge between human and trollkind. It sounds to me that, in her own twisted way, Her Imperious Condescension thought she was helping humanity by making it more troll like. Every step she took toward molding man into her image failed miserably or was blocked by some outside force, though. When that happened she freaked out and took her aggression on the local population. The years between Her Imperious Condescension's takeover and the extinction of humanity must have been horrific.

Okay, let me get this straight, the Condense is either Feferi or Meenah? I'm loving this extrapolation on the story. It's something that Homestuck has been lacking throughout (not that it's been a bad thing), but it's great to finally get some straight-forward explanation for everything that's been so forward in everyone's heads for such a long time.

Really interesting stuff... I really like the idea of Roxy ganking food from all over time and space to feed the carapaces.  OHHHHH! What if when the B1 kids arrive WV leads a rebellion against Condesce? I mean, she is basically using the fact that she is a Queen to make them Obey her and they follow her because of the baked in chess instincts, but it's clear that those instincts can be subverted if the right leader would appear... None other than WV!

The sea monster the Condesce has - is that another horror-terror, then? Is it acting on behalf of the horror-terrors, or Lord English? Or do the horror-terrors obey Lord English? They made some (futile) attempts to prevent his creation, although with the way time works they might've just been doing that because the Alpha demanded it.

I'm pretty sure it's Feferi's lusis, so it's acting on behalf of the horrorterrors.

Y'know, it just occurred to me. B2 Rose, Dave and Jade all got their revolution on and fought against the batterwitch. John was a derpy old prankster. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I think you'd be better off looking at Danger Patrol; you could use the "pick a style, that gives you abilities; pick a role, that gives you other abilities" creation mechanic for the "Job of Thing" Sburb-style classes.

Luminous Obscurity posted:So I just realized something. They might not be. They may be just planning on jumping off as it passes close by. No idea. There is one possibility, though... So, we know of one meteor that has to make it through the skaia defense portals on B2: The Frog Temple. It's different from the version John visited, because it didn't arrive with a Bec, it presumably arrived with a GCat. But as far as we know, there's not going to be reckoning, since no meteors showed up when Jane started playing. So what propels B2's frog temple into Skaia? Could it be...being smacked with another asteroid? A little planetoid pool?

I think the most interesting part of a Sburb tabletop game (or maybe optimize it for the inevitability that it'll be played over the internet, because remember that the main characters never met in person prior to the start of the game) wouldn't be the system itself, but the DM's guide describing how to make the content for it. Describe the typical functionality of the system, with these gigantic tables for creating and populating the planets, how to fudge the cost and stats of alchemy-produced items so that they're an appropriate challenge, examples of denizens' bargains, advice for convincingly faking time shenanigans, all that sort of Gygax-meets-Campbell thing. Homestuck proper went off the rails compared to how it's usually supposed to; inter-universal shenanigans, recovering from null sessions, alien contact, and the looming threat of Lord English belong in modules, rather than the core. That's what I think, anyway.
