What's up? Everybody? Welcome, Welcome to Table Stories, simul locrum. Welcome to the show. How's everybody doing today? Hi? Good, great dude, A very exciting. Everybody ready it chat? Ready you guys excited. Let's go around the room. Let's introduce everybody, and let's uh, I guess, say who you are, where you're from, and where people can find you, all that stuff. Jay, would you be so kind as to start us off? Hello, I'm a gamer, the gamer check

us out. That's right. I've ascended for the people in the chat asking why I have a halo, It's because the sun exists. I'm really stoked to play, to play the system. We've been playing it offline a little bit on the Patreon one shots and New Minaire is like really cool. It's like really really cool, guys. So if you haven't seen it before, stick around because I mean, I'm here, but also it's new Minair. It's really really neat. Pick us out, though, move next three hours

at all away, I hope in twenty minutes. Like yeah, I feel like I need to have something cued up on my stream deck that just goes like every time you every time you move from the sun and comes out myth Hi, Hi, I'm myth Mythmatic whatever. You can find me over on my channel. I do a lot of RP and role playing. There. I play video games and try to tell a story within them, which is

usually not the story that it comes with. It's a lot of fun, come, hang out or not whatever, But that's where you can find me. And I'm super excited to be here and honored to be playing with you guys, and also of course new Manera. This is my favorite system and I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun. Thank you Mith, Nega Orrix, you'd be so kind as to go next. Hello. My name is naga Orx. I'm a full time variety streamer on Twitch five

days a week. I play single player story games with an emphasis on stuff that makes me cry. So you can check me out at twitch dot tv slash nago Orix. I also just started getting into a slew of other things unrelated streaming video games. So the best way to see what puzzles right,

fanauzle that mist it. I got reamed by my best friend trying to have a simple, relaxing puzzle stream and that's just one of the many examples of the way I'm diversifying my content in twenty nineteen, I'm the only idiot smart enough to come up with a made up use your name like naga Oryx. So it's the same on all social platforms. So come say hi to me on Twitter and see what I'm doing besides playing video games. Thank you so much, Pocket, If you could go next. See that's really nice though,

whenever you have everything to yourself. Because Pocket, I had to like haggle people for pocket on stuff. So and one lady, I still haven't gotten Instagram so one day. Yeah, who knew Pocket? Just the word Pocket was such a popular name. Who knew. I've been around for about over eight years. I started out just being a video game streamer playing Momo's League of Legends raging and turn into sort of a crafting streamer lately, getting

more into sewing and building and painting and all that fun stuff. Still play video games sometimes Pokemon go outside, but I do a little bit of everything. I guess as well. So that's it. Thank you so much, Pocket, peb oh Hi, I'm Pumpkinberry. You can find me on Twitch and Twitter at pumpkin Berry. I also I'm a narrative focused streamer, so I usually focus on anything with a really good story, and on Fridays I play scary games and who cares about the rest because I'm just really excited to

play this game. That's it. That's all I got. Thank you, Peeb, thank you. There's a few things that I do want to get out of the way before we get started. Number One, I'm going to be taking this show in a direction that has a lot of player agency. I want the players to really drive things in the show a lot, So I'll be sort of stepping back a lot, and I'll be kind of hopping

in for various things. But this is going to be a lot of This is gonna be really focused on the players, and their decisions are going to be what drives things forward, and I'm going to kind of just react. So I'm curious to see how this is going to go. I've prepared a lot and we'll see what happens. But this show as the players playing themselves, playing characters in the Ninth World. That's right, this is the first. This is a waxed even first. I'm actually encouraging meta gaming. Unpossible,

unpossible. I know, I know, that's happening. It's happening. The players are playing themselves, playing characters in the Ninth World. You have all received a special rig, a Virtual Reality rig VRT RIG Beta, and the premier game for this is New min Era the Ninth World. This is the first day that the game is about to go live. You've all received this rig through different means. They've released a sort of limited amount of them

to everyone, through lotteries and through people with various connections and things. They've released a certain amount of streamers, but they haven't necessarily given them out to every big streamer. They've kind of spread the wealth a lot, and you all have received one. This is your This is the big day. You've gotten the rig. You've gotten everything set up, you've put it on. There's Twitch chat integration built in, there's voicecoms built in, and you've set

up an actual Twitch event. Five of you squad. You've gotten the squad together. The very first thing that happens when you power up and get things going, as you connect everything with your with your stream, you get your streams going. And I think I want to hear a lot about that. I want to figure out if you had this this vrt RIG If you had this, what would your day be like? I want to hear about your

day. I want to hear about how you slept the night before. You have just been given this amazing beta test for this, for this virtual reality system. What's the what's the stream day? Like? What's the event looking like? Oh? Man, I don't know. If I I probably wouldn't sleep. Yeah, I don't think I would sleep. I think I would be in a group chat with you all on discord, just saying like do we have to wait? Can we start now? Or I would be how do I do it? How do I put it together? Yeah? Yeah,

that would be me. There's a call and Whack would be helping us and coaching us through. I think I think the system itself has a sort of similar virtual reality component. You know, it has the headphones and the sort of piece across your face, and it has also it has like a chess piece and some gloves as opposed to like controllers you know, with like triggers and stuff on them, but it actually has gloves. What is the chess piece like? Is it like hard plastic? Have you ever seen like

a street hockey like chess piece for like a goalie. Something probably like that, you know, like something that goes around. Yeah, it's it's definitely got some hard components, probably like a battery or something built into it. Okay, like a laser tag best, all right, something like that. Okay, do you guys all power it up? You get the voice coms going, did anybody sleep the night before? Yeah? I slept soundly, and Lee go, yeah, I'd be setting this thing up at ten oh

five, after I've gone live late. That's when it would be set up on stream in front of all of them going what do I do? And how do I do it? Okay, it would be me. I. I mean, I sat down at my computer, let's say, like an hour before I was supposed to set everything up. But my big concern is I have two cats and a dog, and so even though I'm really, really, really excited for this, it's like I'm also trying to like bat away kitt and pause. While I'm getting set up, I'm trying to explain

to them not to touch theff. They're not getting it. They're cats, you know, it's a whole thing. I slept well because as excited as I am, your girl needs her sleep. I went to bed at like eleven o'clock at night, but in my excitement, I had way too much coffee the morning of. So like, I'm excited to a like anxiety inducing, jittery level as I'm trying to get this set up and keep the cats

away from it. Okay, I would say that I got very little sleep because I stayed up all night trying to figure out how to hook it up. And I was on a a discord call with one of my mods and they were trying to walk me through it the whole time, and it was I would just it was not clicking. It just wasn't And it's so simple, but it was so difficult for me because I managed to make the simplest task difficult. And so I went to bed at about three and then got

up about ten minutes ten minutes ago. So okay, okay, what about you, miss, I think a lot of my evening would be doing the

same. I'd be probably trying to set it up. I don't have VR, so I don't even know how to even start, or I have no context and how to even set up VR, so I probably i'd probably be most of the evening trying to figure it out and then realizing how exhausted I am trying to sleep, not able to sleep, and then I'll be thinking about it, and I think probably most of the evening I probably won't be sleeping because I'd be so nervous about sensors and screens so close to my eyes

and what that could do to my brain. And then there's just this this this downhill slope of me just not sleeping because I'm anxious about this game thing that I get so excited for, you know, like a normal night sleep. Okay, yeah, they would have had some calibration and stuff to do, and all of you would notice that they have like forced feedback sort of built into the vest and to and on the gloves, so you can actually

feel stuff like they had. You probably pick up like a glass of water or something, you know, and move it around, and there was a certain it doesn't feel exactly like the real thing. There's probably a level of disconnect there, but you could actually feel stuff. Question is it waterproof? Most likely not? Oh no, he's built something up. Well, then I have no water near me whatsoever. I will pick up my poke ball

instead. Okay. I think it just means like a like a like a virtual water, you know, like in in the calibration, you know, like it's just so you can feel it. Yeah, And there's just you know, like like like any sort of PlayStation controller, Nintendo controller, whatever, there's like that little bit of forced feedback that probably like comes through the vest and it's probably like it's like whoa, Like that's so cool, Like you've you know, you feel that like aspect. Is that uncomfortable for you?

Peebee? Yeah? That makes me a little nervous, yes, just because it's, uh, you know, how is it giving me that feedback? You know, it's just on my chest and on my hands and on my head. There's nothing plugged into me. So that's weird to me that that freaks me out a little bit. I would probably stay up, if I'm completely honest, I would stay up all night researching the technology about this. Before I was getting ready to do it, I would be anxious just

like this. Then I would be like, all right, two hours or three hours of sleep is enough. Yeah, it's probably something along the lines of I'm not sure how they do it right now, but I would assume it'd be something like a small motor or something. It's just there's a few points. It doesn't give you like feedback though. No, it's not like an electric feeling. No, no, no, no, it would be it'd be like a it'd be like a like a like a massage thing,

you know. Yeah, okay, yeah, it's definitely not the same feeling as like picking up a glass of water or something. It's just like, lets you know that you're holding something. Okay, So what happens? Like if I put down the virtual glass and I like tap my I like tap my chest, you just feel yourself tap your chest, okay, like it It doesn't even even with the game. It doesn't feel different. Oh like seeing your yourself in the game. Yeah, there would probably be like it

doesn't there's like a weird disconnect, you know, like it doesn't. It's not it's not the same feeling. Yeah, conception okay, yeah, So you guys have all set up your streams PB. Yes, what do you think your stream would be? Like? You've got your stream running right now? This is you guys are all getting ready to go live with this new game. What is it like? What happens? How are you starting your

stream up? Well? I have redone all of my overlays like a nerd so that they're you know, VR and they match the artwork and I'm really excited, and yeah, I probably just boot it up and say hi to everybody, and then I put it on and then I'm like, okay, you guys ready, and then we pull it out of the box. I guess I've already set up the capture card, but I would probably rebox it so they could see what it looked like and then take it out and put

it on and then have chat come up. I guess because you said it's integrated with Twitch, Yeah, you'd be able to see like any I think probably, like I know, I've watched some Beats save streams and they've got kind of like a you have to like look up in a weird angle to see the chat. They probably have something like that. Okay, yeah, I would probably be jumping up and down and squealing like an idiot like I

do when I get excited about stuff. Okay, yeah, And I think in the like with the system, they probably have like some kind of some some notification to let you know that you're recording. There'd be like a red dot and say like streaming live to you know, Twitch, that TV slash pumpkin barrier. So I probably like, is this working as a song, because that happens every time I do that from my phone, it tells me it's live, but I don't know until chat tells me, yes, we

are live chat. I'm gonna need you guys to role play with us as well. I want you to act like Peebe's chat right now, you guys have just seen peb muted screen screen. I'm gonna need you guys to role play with us. So, yeah, Peeb has just turned on her stream. This is amazing. She's kind of showing you like this calibration inside the the uh inside this this vrt rig beta. So what would that be like? Peb uh? Wow, I can see you guys, and I can

see everything. Riley Hello, how are you? Maximilian Hello? How are you? Artist? Hi? Brad? What are you doing here? A little blurry Peb? Okay? Maybe I can adjust the settings here? Hold on, I guess can I can I do that? You can? Yeah, there'd be there'd be some like settings maybe to adjust the the color and

saturation and stuff, the typical kind of game settings. What you would see though, is there'd be like some notifications that come up and say, you know, uh, be aware the v r t RIG beta U may cause you know, people with epilepsy. It's got the like epilepsy warnings and stuff like that. You know this this sort of I think what you'd expect.

Would there be something along the lines of like, whenever you're using the vrt rig beta, please make sure not to immediately remove the glasses from your eyes.

Please go to this menu option before you remove. And they have like a menu option like pause or something along those lines, and they show like a little icon of you removing the vrt rig just so they have like a procedure maybe if you test it, like it kind of like dims the lights or it has some kind of special effects so that it sort of like dulls your senses first before you take them off. Okay, that's cool. Oh but now I can't see chat, so I'm gonna put it back on.

All right. Hey guys, I'm back. Are we doing VR today? Yeah? It just came out. I'm really excited and I'm we're gonna be squad streaming. Oh my god, just in time. You hear you hear? Uh? Who's next? It would join the call next? I'll do it all right, okay, what's up, gamers a peebe? How's it going? It's going well? Not comfortable? Hello, hello, Hello, what's up? How's the chat? Has anybody subscribed with twitch brin today? What's happening? Yeah? Hell yeah. I think they just they just triggered

a sound effect. I agree. Sorry, y'all. That's Toronto downtown my bad. Oh yeah yeah. Kawhi Leonard won the Raptors the thing again. I thought he got traded. Oh yeah, oh yeah, they're still on Kawhi watch. I mean he did get traded, but he didn't. Actually, when am I playing Minecraft with Peutie Pie, never tell him to reach out to me, all right, tell him to reach out to me. So this is all about I'm still setting this up. I got my I

got everything on again. Vo did drop something again. She dropped something every single day. Artists, thanks so much for gifting fifty subs to the chat. Can we please get some dabs in the chat? Dab or every single sub walk a dab give that? Wow? Holy shit? Thank you artists, Geez peb you always get this up potential energy. Thank you so much for wow twenty subs in the chat. Thank you so much, this is amazing. How kind of you to do this on the day of our very

first VR broadcast. I still have no idea what I'm doing. Put your headset on, Jay, it is on. Go through this, go through the setup. No, no, no, I already did that. I just do. Yeah, but in my months were trying to explain it. But then somebody in the chat, my video is not laggy, shut up, okay, refresher internet all right. Then somebody in the chat was like, hey, it's you have no sound, and I was like, what do you mean? You have no sound? And then all three of my

moms for like, you have sounds? And then I was like, okay, so which one do I believe? I didn't believe my mom's. So how to go for you? How is your setup really good? I kind of maybe didn't sleep that well. Yeah, I stop up, b when'd you set your thing up? Uh? Last night? Like around three in the morning. Okay. I just wanted to make sure the capture card was working, because sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Yeah, I set it up, be sure ten minutes ago. Story play the game already,

shut up, I'm playing the game, idiot. Actually, where where are the others. I don't know. I think, uh, someone's coming soon? Who's next? Does anyone know how to make it works? Because I feel like using no captures prinking for me and I don't understand this. You don't have a capture card? Was I supposed to use an internal capture card for this? Because I only have an older external one and I don't know if it's works. Trance, thank you so much. We appreciate you.

I don't know, honestly though, Uh, what is happening? Colonel's probably better? Yeah, I mean you don't, I don't think you have to. Yeah, seeing an external capture cards, there is a setting line. There's a setting in the in the menu though, that you have to select that you're doing a capture card. Dingle says there's an open VR plugin for obs. So you you say, get you slowed it up? Oh okay, hold on them, give me just a second. Also, Hi,

hello, Oh my god. I have never done an MMO situation like this before, Like I never did World of Warcraft. I mean I played Guild Wars a little bit, but nothing like this. So I'm I'm very excited. I grew up on World of Warcraft and all I wanted to do when I was playing it was the in it And cannot stress enough how excited I am for this on DP. Ever since I watched every anime with every VR

thing, ever, I've always wanted to actually be in that world. I don't even care, I care, like does matter, I'd live there, Like Ready Player one, I wanted to be in that. Not the movie, but the book. The book. But there's a book series that I'm reading that you would probably really like. It's called Meadowland. Eave me. I'm writing it down now. Yeah, you should write it down because it's really good. I'm writing it. That's it, you know, which.

I got a new book what you get for the others to show up? It's called Dark Matter. Oh what's it about? I don't know because I haven't even started it yet. And I started to read the back of the book and then when I got interested, I stopped because I don't want to know anything about it when I started. But it's I apparently it's supposed to be really good and exactly my type of reading. So anyway, yeah, I'm excited. That was actually literally maybe this game. Like as soon as

I heard Immersive VR, I was like don't tell me anything. I actually don't want to know because I'm the kind of person I don't watch trailers from movies. Yeah me either. Just let me go in as blind as possible. I get spoiled for everything I want the spoilers, Like when Star Wars got spoiled. I actually went to go see it, the one with like consolo. I went to go see it, and I was like, what is it happened? I'm waiting? Yeah, well, yeah, hello,

disconnected, reconnect? Sorry guys, worries that was weird? Three two mone is he no? Almost? Oh? No? Oh? Hey hey said yeah, No, we can't hear you. Dude, you're muted. You can't just like pebe try try disconnecting and then reconnect. Sometimes if you double tap your profile in go xcel R, it'll just reload it. What that's the thing. Yeah, but can you do this well? Because sometimes when you load your go xl R profile for the first time, your your sampler

won't play. But if you just don't tap your profile out icon, it will reload it. No, we can't hear you. I bet if you shave your mustache it'll work. Facts. I love that mustache. You leave it them alone. That's a joke. And we're not using skype Chat, We're using Discord. Come on. Oh, sometimes it doesn't work for me if I use the browser version of Discord, and then I have to try using the desktop one. Maybe try that, use trying to light chat on

fire using the browser. You're not using the browser. Yeah, I like browser stuff. I don't like too many windows on my desktop. Those Discord folders though, am I right? Yeah? God, thank mine duds. I'm actually really worried if that's going to continue to perpetuate, like the white noise on Discord. Like if people just joined servers, I'm never never talking them because you're in like forty remote servers. Oh, we got sorry, I had to reinstall the whole VT, the v R t V wood Driver

or whatever it was. Oh, I am, I don't know. It's I've got like voice meter on here and I had old effects on it and I couldn't get rid of it, and somehow it was just anyway, I man, man boy, ready, all right, I'm excited. I'm excited. I just audio audio issue was always put me into twozy. I'm sorry, I'm just all right, all right, but I'm excited. Yeah, beverage, like maybe stretch breeze to have a drink or something. Okay, all right, I got some. I mean I could grab some whiskey too.

I've got like a you know, really good bottle of whiskey that I only open on special occasions. Yamazaki twelve, the greatest whiskey that I've ever had in my entire life. Special occasion, Yeah it is. It's basically you get to be in World of Warcraft. God, I love that so much. You're absolutely right. While while we wait for pocket, I'm gonna get a special occasion. Yeah, holo, Okay, can you bring one for me? Stay on your video? All right, I'm back, I'm

ready, welcome back. Where do you go? Oh he just went to get some whiskey. Oh that's what he meant. What? Oh my god? Am I am? I late? Where? Oh? I just I just woke up. I was up late trying to put this thing together. I think I got it is a working Hello. Yeah, where I can see and hear you? Just great? Oh great? Oh thank god. I just I didn't kind of get ready because I'm so late. I gotta be. I gotta be on. We're wait one person. Wait, so I'm not the only one that's late. That's good. Yeah, No,

I wasn't late. No, yeah, yeah, you just got here not being here, I went to get whiskey. Oh yep, Sure, what's going on? Oh? I just got here. I just I just I literally, I literally just woke up. I haven't made coffee yet, but it's okay. I'm really excited. It's too excited too. I just set this up. Crazy question for you guys. You ever played video game? No? Never, We're about to drink at ten am. Whiskey brat weeds

legal in Canada. I can drink whiskey at ten am. Okay, come on a second, Wait a second, Wait a second, you're drinking, did you? Yeah, he got whiskey, and I think I think myth's getting some too. What it's ten Yeah, but never drink before noon? What you mean by the time I've done this drink, it'll be noon. Go okay, so real talk. Did anybody peek at the character selection or anything ahead of see? Absolutely? Okay, I didn't. I didn't look

at anything. I have my character like made. I'm like ready to go. Okay, Well, you guys are probably on some kind of countdown before the game releases or whatever. You're patiently Yeah, you're patiently waiting. There's probably like a minute left or something. Oh my god, Oh my god, it's a minute in the title of the game is New min Era the Ninth World. Oh my god. I can't believe they made a RPG system into a video game. This is like a favorite Dungeons and Dragons met World

of Warcraft. I sawesome that this is your favorite system because I'm such a five E baby, you know, like I like some more of it. I was gonna say that was the first system I ever played with, So I'm a little nervous to play something like for the first time in front of an audience, you know, really easy, don't sweat it super yeah, like, yeah, it's it's we just the sheets are a little bit to get used to, but once we get used to it, it's great.

Yeah. I was making whale noises right now. It's really loud. I think it's playing through my audio. No, that's not it might be my cat. Shut up, No, it's next. Your cat sounds like a whale. Yeah, definitely, definitely the animals. So we thought the cat was being bit for like a minute, like it was just howling, and we realized the door was closed, and he just kissed me. But he's never made a sound like that in my entire life. I'm sorry, what

Yeah, it was really angry. I was so worried, so worried, and they just opened the door and he was like, Okay, I missed you. I wanted to hang out with you. That is so adorable. I also love caps. Oh man, I got thirty seconds. I hope we don't get caught in like weight cues or anything like you guys remember Diablo three release. I really hope it's not like that. Yeah, I too. Actually like five hundred people, so if the service can't handle to five

hundred people, then I heard that this this is actually really small. I actually have no idea how I got an invite. What happens if these things like short circuit, well, they're on us crazy thoughts while we have like twenty seconds going. No. I actually looked it up and that's pretty rare, and it's or I mean, it's possible, but if it were,

it's going to be way less than even being taste. So oh, I was ready, let's go all right, I mean all right, this is easy, Okay, it's at that time that the counter reaches zero, you're

all allowed into the game. Immediately upon loading it, you see this sort of strange I think, mix of technology and strange landscapes scrolling through in a sort of cinematic view, you know, you get that sort of cinematic experience that comes up before like the menu loads, like they do like one of those like thirty second sort of landscape pan thrus and you just see the world

sort of open up in front of you. See strange creatures that maybe you could never imagine flying through the air, towering monstrosities and massive, massive cities that seem impossible. Before you lies New min Era the Ninth World. Hey, these are the best graphics I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, thank you so much to Nvidio. But the RTX sponsored stream for this guys are amazing. Sha add wow. What guys? That is that? Yeah? What is that? That is? What that is? What's the Amber

Monolith? What is that? It's like it's it's like it's got like it's there's a whole bunch of like story hooks and lines and lore all tied to it. A lot of like the Young Priests and stuff are from there. Yeah. Yeah, oh man, I'm gonna probably be lying up one of these days over there. But I don't know if it's like a I don't know if like the zone is like out of our level or out of our tier. Oh is it tiered zones? I don't know. I have no

idea. This isn't like Division two where you have to get like World Light ranking five or something to like do your rates. Like I really just want to walk in and get killed by a rape. What happens is if we die in this game, well you might try it, you know, die real life. It happens maybe Canada. You just responded to the nearest imprten's You guys know that the men you will appear and you have new character selected. Okay, I'm ready. Oh I'm going to create j the largest gamer

ever to be seen. That's alright, that's your name. Uh well yeah, but we'll just short handed to Jay in game. You know, the largest gamer you've ever seen is like a title that you can earn. Okay, I always use the same name. I'm going to use the same name for my character in Gilbert, so don't judge me. Okay, okay, all right, it's Coral I okay, my first wow character's name was Vanquished, so don't worry, okay, Nash Banquished. Yeah. Oh you know,

I was actually surprised I got that and it wasn't taken. I was going to say it was like like numbers instead of lesson. Oh g O G wow, this is incredible. Oh man, give me for already having a character in a backstory. Are you are? We are peeing? Are you okay? Okay? Okay, boy, all right, I'm gonna role play depending on how drunk I get. Don't worry, Okay, you play all the time. Jay, Yeah, I know this is the best excuse. Do you join an RP server? Can we join an Okay? I

don't know. I don't know. Okay, cause hold up, hold up because I now, Oh come on, but listen, sometimes our peace servers are like more dead and I don't want to like run into a fucking gold Shire issue where we walk into the first town and someone tries to funk me. You know what I'm saying. I do want to experience. I want to watch someone try to funk you because it'll be hilarious. Your your response, if you get if you if you get e fucking Newmanara, are you

fucking real life? Yes, I hory, babe, there's literally no you fucking happening. It's not happening. I'm gonna use a dark and mysterious avatar just okay, pick one that's like grotesque or something. Then no one will want to like, you know, oh my god? Yes, all right, the ugliest avatar. Hold on, I take that back, I take

that back. We're going ugly chat. Look at all these options. We just circle here in the game, right, I think you just use your you're right, the lick with your index and then you circle with your hand, and I think that'll do it. Oh yeah, if you just twist it too, you can rotate your whole character model. Yoh, like around around around a round. Just twist your hand, yes see, and then your whole model changes so you can see three sixty view of yourself. Holy

yeah, taking a circle. I can just sit here and do this for hours. Yeah yeah, yeah, oh I might be here for hours. I mean character creation time limit on the beta at all. I mean we should maybe just create our characters fairly quickly. We can always, I mean we're gonna have to remake them after the beta anyway, all right, this guy looks like Bury and I want to play. I want to see what this thinks. Thunder Fury Blessed the Blood of the Windsacer. Does this game

have a thunder Fury Blessed Blade of the Windsaker. I don't know what that means. That's the world of Warcraft reference. Oh okay, I'm imagining there will be a lot of those. Is this is this? I don't I think I may have. Oh what I think? You just go like this, Just swipe, It's all. It's a lot of gestures, so you just go yeah. Okay, all right, it worked, all right, hold on, let me just repick the I keep just flitting between things. Okay, got it? Okay, this is really cool. There aren't really

traditional classes. Yes, yeah, hey, how is everybody picking their character stuff? All right, I'm being as close to a D and D rogue as I can possibly get. Nice, I'm wow. Well, I know the system pretty well, so I could just do a lot of support stuff. Maybe is there a robot? Can I be a robot? Yes? Of course you can be a fucking robot? Pepe, Well, I was I was asking myth if there was one, since he knows all of that's like any sort of robot you want. It could be a full robot,

it could be like a cyborg an android. Yeah, I mean you have to think about you have to remember the ninth world as there's been eight other iterations of humanity in this world and we're living in the ninth one. So in the in the I guess ancient technology that has been left. Yeah, there's gonna be like this cool stuff that are gonna be is an ancient which which which uh which age is it from? And it's yeah, yeah,

okay. The really gosh thing about this is like it's not your character class that chooses like like a jack or a nano or someone and so forth. Don't doesn't really choose what you do. It's like the identifiers that you choose not pretty sick. Oh my god, I have it. You can be a jack, which is a jack of all trades, but it depends on the folk I and what your identifier is that like makes you your sentence what

it is. Yeah, yeah, so I'm okay, so I'm going uh uh, I'm gonna be a barbarian rogue money and then what's your what's your descriptor So I'm an intuitive jack that rages. Oh, that is what I've settled on. I've chosen the ugliest model I can. I am ready to stab whoever tries to eat fuck me in the throat. I am the risk taking right that dances with dark matter. Oh oh damn, I am a mechanical delve that talks to machines. Yep, yep, yes, yes,

I see. Good friends will be really happy for Peb, but close friends are like, god fucking damn. Yeah. Two, yeah, that's like I actually spoke to machines in my first Newman era game, so that one gets home to me. It was my fault. I killed him. The coolest thing about this is the iron winds, like the nano, the nanits. I thought that was the coolest thing. My first character was a nano that like called them like the little ones because it's not actually magic, right,

they're little nanoations, so he would talk to them. That was cool. For anybody who doesn't know, is is like it's kind of like the red spot storm that blows across Jupiter, but instead really and it could screw up the like the the molecular level of anything, because it is what magic is in this world. So be very careful because that can blow through it.

Any tights are the interpretation of magic. Like the way Whack explained it to me when we did the one shot is like, uh, the nanits are like everyone sees magic, but if you're a nano, if you're like trained in it, and you can see the little tiny nanits that are doing the actual magic. So you just tarned these things. M Whack it in the beta. I don't know. Oh, I have no idea. He'd

probably be like the Overlord or some shit. You know, if that was like, they would hire him, all right, Well, they'd probably hire him. Well that's the last posse. Did you finish speaking your character? Kind I kind of skipped through a lot of stuff because you guys said to Herry, So I picked the shortest character possible, redheaded like me, because I'm weird. I like to pick the same hair color as me. I don't know. I get really mad when I can't. Actually, but they

don't always have real reds. They have like a dark brown, but they don't have anyway. Yes, I mean I really I really care about like my synergy between my looks and my my name. So I made as short as possible. My name is going to be technome like that? Right? Yeah? And uh uh god, I don't I think it's a Nano? Did that? Is that? What? I? How do I check? Because I just kind of skipped all that I'm I supposed to read you check your profile? Oh oh okay, wait, should we choose like different names

other than ourselves? Like I shouldn't. I've already thought of a name. Oh yeah, okay, all right, I'm gonna choose how luring j All right, sorry, I'll choose the best MMO name ever. I am now known as best gamer in the Lands of Newman era the ninth World. Let's go that's not better, that's an Yeah, we're on an RP server. J' aer right, I forgot all right, I missed an opportunity. I couldn't. Yeah, I'm Nano. I could have just name myself iPod all

right, Jay Gamerson, but it's not pronounce gamers. It's Commerson Commerson Commerson. All right, well, should we like boot up? Yeah? Weddy? Yeah? Oh yeah? What did you what did you end up picking? I'm a gregarious jack who speaks with a silver tongue. Oh, I've decided to be a pirate in this game. Oh okay, okay, okay, I doubt that's like native to this game. But that's where, uh

like, let's be honest. If I'm picking something as far from my own self in reality as possible that I've always wanted to live out, I just want to be Tim Curry in the Muppet Treasure Island movie. Essentially, somebody hopefully gets that reference. Yes, I've never seen it, so I was thinking of doing Tim Curry as well. So I'm glad you told me that right off the back because that craze and inspiration. I just want to look like we're gonna name our clan Tim Curry in game. That's what it's gonna

be. Yeah. Oh, I anticipation is killing me. I I finally found it. I found a profile. It took me a while. I had to ask to ask my chat. Sorry, they were yelling at me too. I just had a chat too. By the way, hy chat, I am a protective nano who works miracles. Yeah, I don't know what that means. I just randomly picked it. Protective like pseudo healer. That's kind of neat. Yeah, I'm gonna work some miracles. You guys better sit back. Damn son okay, right, or we could jump in

it. You're gonna work miracles, it's not gonna matter. Yeah, well, okay, I don't need that much pressure. I'm gonna hit start. Yeah. Yeah, I'm lugging in. I'm lugging in. I'm lugging in. Okay, same place. Yeah, we mean we should. We all have the same beata a key. Right, that's how that works. I don't know if I have no idea. No, that would be I already had start. Sorry. As soon as you hit start, you all go into the game and you were greeted talks in the chat Welcome to new min

Era. The Ninth World is just terrifying. Hello, Oh my god? Are we supposed to talk back? Okay? The sentity is known as null No is a construct meant to help players bridge the gap between their simulacrum and the Ninth World. It has a fundamental understanding of the mechanics of the Ninth World, and we'll be able to ascertain the difficulty and tasks your simular try to perform, and we'll offer intrusions and experience in turn. Are you familiar

with might speed intellect? Yeah? I mean yes. But for those of us who don't. Yeah, yeah, you're right. No one of you has said no, yeah. Would you like a tutorial? No? No, no, no, we'll help. I'm sorry right, not wasting this precious day of time going through titorial. No, I will fight you. I like to, okay, kick her out. No, I'm just kidding. I didn't say no, I hate tutorial. You get one hundred subs right now, we'll do the tutorial. Let's go. I'm doing the tutorial.

I don't care how many subs we get. I'm not doing that storialtorial I would do. This is a dramatic I like, we only have so many hours to play the beta. I'm not doing it in a tutorial, but we'll learn it as we go. How hard can it be coming? Haven't you seen start Out Online where like Kirito has to teach the new guy into the MMO, like first day on where the dope spots are? Do we want to really be like that? Bear Flame already got it to five?

We just died ninety four. Man, we're gonna do the tutorial. We're no, we don't want to do the tutorial. Thank you? Look chat, how's my back? Peebee never does the tutorial is no. It sounds like you've elected to do the tutorial. No, no, no, no, you know what, yes, let's do it. It doesn't know our voices yet. Crap, all right, I think in some time, maybe I give up. Maybe we can skip through it, you know,

just press it or a lot and it skips through it or something. The tutorial whole simulacrum have three stat pools, might, speed, and intellect. Okay. Related tasks are obviously related to the mic pool, to the speed pool, and to the intellect pool, respectively. Okay, yeah, no, ship, whenever you do a task, it will either be a might, speed or intellect based roll. This is your fault. No, we'll assign difficulties to various creatures and tasks that you. I wonder if I can

just swipe you skip through the tutorial? Yes? Whatiala guys? I was enjoying his voice, Thank you? Yeah, it was actually pretty. I'm not gonna lie. I was about to fall asleep again, honestly, a good thing. Give me the new resident sleeper. Yeah, that wouldn't be good. Not the way twitching modes are. Where are we? What are we? When you? When you pass the tutorial that no one was about to give. You are presented with a map and it says, please choose

your starting location. Wow, the ninth world has the nine countries of the Steadfast available Navarreen the Sea Kingdom of God, Driwless Fame or mailevich is kobal On Kuwan Mylave, the Pathan Empire. Would you like information on each to make your choice? Oh? Guys, I kind of do, though, No, I want to go to the most Uh someone's a someone's a pirate, right, yeah, we should go to the most pirty one possible. Right, Wait, what there's some there's things. It's called the cold desert.

Wait, okay, Smith, you know a lot about this. Which is the best the gesiography, best level? One place to go, let's do it. I'm trying to kill bo levels. There's tears, but a lot of what we're going to probably see are things that are going to be in a hold on one second. Chat. There's no baita giveaway. Shut up? Okay, sorry, what's up? No? Sorry, it's fine. The push to mute Okay, it's probably my bad bad. No, it's okay. So the uh the I don't know. There's no levels.

There's tears, but a lot of what we can fight and a lot of what we can go after. And what's really cool is there's skill system, and the skill is the exact same system as the combat system. Right. It's where so even me convincing you of where we're gonna spawn is the exact same rules that we would use to do any combat. Which is cool, but also it's very vague in where the starting spot is. I don't think it's gonna matter. It depends on what we think is the coolest. Okay,

do we want to run them? Obviously the Sea Kingdom of Gone, Okay, that sounds cool. But if you go to the Sea of Secrets and is go ball reminds me of the is from like that doesn't see Kingdom of Gone? Yeah, but on kwan Has Island of the Last Migrations, don't you want to go to the Sea of Secrets. There's like a glowy oreb above that. It's got to mean something, right, that's not old desert doesn't kind of cool. I just want to go everywhere, So I

don't care you guys, I do like jo start walking right? Then? You know what the jagged waste? What could possibly go wrong there? Okay, that's I actually I'll say no to that one. Yeah, se Kingdom of God. I like it. See, I just pictured a bunch of sea horses that we could ride. Wait, you're probably that's probably cha. Where are we starting chat with Russ? They're gonna send me to the worst as possible. You guys are this is our death sentence right here? Gone

Gone avareen. It's it's actually pretty even mistake. Yeah, there's a lot of that, A lot of people in my d a lot more gone. I'd say that you people the most are gone? And yeah, someone said the no pick? Can that happen? Dmize? Yeah? Hey, is it like Janet from the Good Place? Where we can just call it and ask? Love that show? I love Janet so much, She's my favorite. Coord is available for all questions that you may have about the mechanics of

the ninth World? No, can you tell me who the fuck Janet is? Unrecognized? Command? Okay, never mind? No, can you pick a random place for us to start? Yes? Idea? Is it? Is it level appropriate? You like? Gone? Gone? Sounds sweet? Really cool? If we can meet Gone and find out why he has a sea kingdom named after him, I'm okay with it. What do we take over the Sea Kingdom? Yeah, I'm down. I'm doing Is that player

agency in this game? Do you think like like yvonline? I mean we'll find out there are small pieces of information available for each kingdom if you would like. I can't give you that information. Yes, yes, very well. Get no, I just kidding, all right, I'm gonna go through the toil and get him back to this point. Navarreen is one of the

largest and most prosperous kingdoms. It is governed by Queen Armalu. The southern part of Navarreen as rich farmland in a population of one point five million people. Wait is he reading all of these? Kingdom is known for its coastal trading. The so called Sea Kingdom of God is a relatively peaceful land. Is ruled by King Laird. There are rolling green hills where herds of Gollin and Auneine roam rampantly. It has a population of one million people. Wow,

rolling fields. It's not a place where is the most populated land in the Steadfast and also one of the wealthiest. It is ruled by the Council of Spheres. Centuries ago, Draulus was home to a powerful queen ruled the land with a firm hand. Her symbol was a roaring tiger, and her armies crushed all those around her tiger. When her line died out, how and Drawless was seized by a council of wealthy plutocrats didn't want another hereditary monarchy

to take control. The Council of sphears abolish the tiger symbology. Many people remember the tales from that time and long for that former glory. Time to bring it back. All right, Okay, I'm down with it. I'm down that. Let's to just bring back the tiger. Tigers are gone, which is a sign we should go to see. Kingdom of Gone, also one of the smaller and least prosperous kingdoms in the Steadfast Namer is often overshadowed

by its neighbors. The glimmers. The people in the Ninth World sometimes experience strange, random glimpses of images or information that may come from the all pervasive data sphere seem to be somewhat more common in northern Theaymor. It is ruled by Holiva the First and has a population of nine hundred thousand poo Malevich people tested by hardship Malavis's tail is one of war and would be con quest. Oh No. It is ruled by King Yorvik and known for brute bleak landscapes.

As a population of one point two million people, I say gone guys, as internal politics that keep the nation focused on itself rather than on the dangers of the expansionist kingdoms at its borders. The palace intrigues involve the royal family led by King Norin t Kaliban. What an excerpt from the journals of Sir Fabithian of mullin calm and serene, you will find no place more lovely

than the land of Iscobal, jewel of the said fast. I can assure you of that the goodly King of Iscobal dwells in Mulin, a great coastal city whose glass towers glimmer in the light of both sun and moon. Beyond its walls, gentle farmers ten crops of golden wheat, Its rivers teams with fish, and the woods with game. Noble knights watch over the peoples. A fair we're going are stated, beautiful in every village, town, happy, and all the gods is a paradise on earth. Okay, okay,

okay, Swipe from seventy years ago. Swipe, and we're going to start a disco and name it to disco Ball, and we're going to take over control the territory. Turn can bring back tigers inside out. Yes, we like to take over the kingdom? Maybe? Yes, Oh absolutely, I think we should travel for sure, we should spend the whole time there. But all right, let's just go ahead and have you guys seen no Life. No, I feel like that's just a biography about me. Cool,

so great. So you're going to take over the rest of these nine kingdoms. We're going to start with his go Ball. Let's go there, all right? Don we just select it from the menu or do I just press on it on the map? Here? I guess press. I'm impatient. I'm clicking it already, Like, hey, Noel, we want to go to As you press the map, you can see, oh the area illuminates O curation. Cool? Okay, wow, all right, fancy It's just a bunch of trees, but it's it's peaceful, apparently. Can I can

I press the Sea Kingdom of Gun on my map? See what looks like it has a bunch of trees too? I bet everything's a bunch of trees. Yeah, I bet there's trees everywhere. They have towers of glass and huge the word glimmer to describe it. It's dangerous towers of glass. You know that glass and glimmer are actually very scary buzzwords in New Monera. Really no, I made that up because I really want to go to the sea Kingdom of Gone. Okay, well, if you're going to make that one

river, the Kingdom of Gone looks pretty sick, let's go there. Let's we have to go visit is goball on like a whim when we're like level look at that. I'm trying to out drawless whatever that is drawless? Yeah, they like, that's the Tiger Kingdom. Let's go to say Kingdom of Gone. I want to go to the Scarred Monolist. That looks sick.

You know, honestly that is that is a scary place. There's a city named just On no One, Oh no, what, Yes, we have on Climate in Justice where I want to live into the City of Bridges. This looks so much more fun. We can just go visit disco ball. Yeah, we'll go, We'll visit, but we gotta go just On for sure. That's our hometown. All right, memes. Okay, So after everybody sort of confirmed the c Kingdom of Gone on their interface, you see

across the map a swirling vortex start to appear. What is that? Looks like the mailstrom from a Wow? Inside of that, you know it's it's you know, if that's not going to help them know more about what you're talking about? Yeah, I know, but is that the nan Man night thing? Iron winds? Yeah, iron winds? Okay, vortex swirls around the map. So we step inside. We just walk in. I'm already walking in. I don't know. Maybe i'll go I'm going in. Yeah, I'll walk in it. Okay, yeah, I walk in for sure.

Have you guys looked at your character models? Yeah? I look ugly, as let's go, I got a cone head man. Let's like. I look down and then I'm just like wow, I'm actually only two feet from the ground. I've never been this closed. This is weird. I don't even have to bend over to touch the ground. This is weird. Are you playing like? Wow? Yeah, I don't know. I picked the shortest character. What do each of your characters look like? About it?

I got it? Okay, go ahead, you're short. Your short go Okay, So my name is Technome and I'm a sassy, redheaded Gnome lady. Uh she's short, she she I'm modeled it off of a World of Warcraft Nome, which I absolutely despise, but I just wanted to be Nano, so I was like, well, I gotta go with Nano Techno. I don't know, I got a little gadgets here and there, got

like the whole like, uh what is it? The LEDs in her hair, the going back with the side shaped look, and uh, just pretty basic right now because she's you know, I'm new to the game, so the end game gear looks pretty cool, though, I'm not gonna lie that's about it. Bam nice. I've got whatever the basic like starter jack clothing is, which I've been playing a lot of Destiny too, so I feel like it's like a little like hood. Probably got like a couple of knives

around the belt. He rages eye rage, So I don't know what that would look like. Yeah, I'm trying to think, but I really don't know what a game would give you. I feel like just the basic starter gear of like the parka a weird hood, you know, little band clothing because they're like, oh, Jack, you're like the rogue of the system. Yeah, fuck yeah, I am dude. Just so everyone is aware one of the few times I'll try and break in here, please, is

that the Ninth World is over a billion years into our Earth's future. Great civilizations have risen and fallen, each attaining wonders beyond our wildest dreams and furthest imaginings. The remnants of these civilizations shaped the Ninth World into a beautiful but weird place of both wonder and danger. So when you think of any of these things listed, like you might expect to say in Dungeons and Dragons or one of those systems, this setting can have almost any interpretation of a weapon

or armor that you can imagine. So if you have a bow, it's probably not a piece of wood with a string on it. It could be made of energy or can I'm mulligan, absolutely absolutely, That's why I jump. I really got to think about it. But just to give you an example of some of the things it could be. These things might not even you might not even make need to make physical contact with these items. This

weapon could be controlled with your thoughts. It could be controlled remotely. You know, there's a lot of ways to interpret this, and it's really up to you. Here in the Ninth World, there are a wide swath of different possibilities, so don't try to limit your mind. Imagine almost anything can exist in this setting. So oh crazy, Okay, a lot of the descriptions are very vague. For that, it's just a bit of okay,

yeah, an interpretation, you know, entire system. So then my ugliest fuck character, let me give a better description, because his face has a unifron. Both eyes are miscolored, but they're both really ugly colors, Like we're talking spring green, twitch chat green on one eye, and then we're talking probably the ugliest purple that you can think of. My character is scarred and marred and burnt and whatever have you. And then has the scraggliest hair

like we're talking me but like twenty sixteen. And then leather jerkin, two carbon fiber daggers and like a nice little little pouch. I think I've got a lot of I've got a lot of tools in my pouch as far as I can see, So like I wear a lot of a lot of that on the belt. Excellent, and I'm fucking ugly. Don't forget that cone head. Conehead. My character is also a jack, so I imagine I'm kind of wearing similar like starting armor as Jay is. Like we're kind of

you can tell that we're of the same class kind of thing. But my character has really really all over the place, long luscious curly brown hair, big big, big brown eyes, and just what looks like a kind of crackle of light coming out from under her right eye, under her skin, and at my hip the same place that Jay has his kind of weapons.

I have a rolled up whip that's hung on one of my hips that's kind of like vibrating a little bit with this kind of pulsating energy that doesn't quite look earth based in its material And I have a dagger on my other side and kind of really really really worn in heavy boots and braided into my hair.

I have all of these odd little trinkets and bits that like to us would look like regular earth like broken up you know, materials and CDs or whatever, broken pieces of things that we would recognize, but to somebody living that far into the future are kind of like braided in like their rare gemstones

and stuff that is so cool. I am al Rick Shiloh. My character has probably like a wool duster or like a wool long coat or an extended pea coat, I guess, And in it he has like straps around and inside of looks like vials of just really inert and weird, you know, interesting materials. Some of it glows, some of it is liquid, some

of it is or from something that you've probably never seen. And he has on his hip under the under the cloak or under the jacket is it looks like to be a little like a pistol with an extended magazine that comes out horizontally and that is a buzzer, but it has it launches little buzzsaws. But that is what he wears and he has. He's a tall guy, tall slim, has a pompadoor with like instead of a streak of cyan blue, it's a streak of fiber optics, like a fiber optic in plant.

That's a that's Aldrich Schild. Yes, I can I can go next, So Coral I or my character. The way I've done the avatar is pretty basic. I probably just went with anything that looked good when I generated it. For the face and the hair and stuff, so it's like, you know, brown, probably shoulder length, and I was like, yeah, that's great. But what I got really excited about was a responsive synth piece

of clothing and a shirt that displays my insides. So I have this T shirt on that displays my inner workings, which are of course cybernetic because I wanted to be a robot. And I have a weapon which is a bow but it is actually just like cybernetic ting in coils and it's like wrapped around on my back and it will connect and turn itself into a bow when I go to use it, and it shoots energy, no arrows. Nice. I remember everything now, I remember. I remember. Okay, So my

character, you know, she's not as short. You know what five four eleven is short, So she's about four eleven actually, and uh she she still has the just the bright red hair because I just love red red hair, but side shaped to one side LEDs in her hair that are gold. They just shine a really bright gold and similar to the makeup that's around her

eyes, just bright gold with accents of like black and white contrast. And her armor that she wears is actually also a metallic gold, almost like a a like a chest plate that you would find on a character in World of Warcraft, like one of the dragons or something. Some people will get that reference. And uh, and she carries a whip that's wrapped around her waist like a golden lasso, but it's a it's a whip and it shines just as bright as her hair and everything else. The goggles on her head also

shine around the rims. And lastly, she has like this set of wings that come out. They're on her back and then they just come out and and again, like just this beautiful golden color, like everything is golden about her, just like basically picture and Angel, but like techno angel that makes

any sense with LEDs and a little bit of cyberpunk mixed in there. She does have a backpack as well, just a really small one on her back about where the wings would come out and kind of like they're duo and that's about it. So oh and space Boots obviously got to have them giant golden boots that have LED's, so lots of LEDs. I have an obsession with LED's. Okay, just got the package. Man, I'm et sponsored by uh Hugh Lighting, Thank you? Can you move your wings. Yes,

look at the light. I'm sorry, like the sun hits them in blind you all. Oh my god, it's so good. I kind of wish I had chosen that. Now look at how good at it? Like, I like, really good. The cosmetic win just took the preget. Yeah, I listen. Okay, guys, I have a problem. I'm kind of a wail in games. Okay, please don't judge me. Chat, shut up, shut up. Chat. I didn't I won't judge that. I have sponsored pri bar, so don't worry. My crowbar looks like Gordon

Freeman's from Half Life. Two. Hm, there you go. I thought you made Gordon ramsay, and then I got confused. Yea, the game is raw. Oh you may have a point. I did bring the disco. You're right, I am the disco. Yeah, especially like if you can bounce the light off of your wings into your the CD pieces and braided into your hair. Oh well, I just dance a little, a little light going. Do they have the Can you do the emoting? Can you do the dancing like Kennan Gilboors or do I just dance? That's weird?

Just dance because it's a dance like I'm like sitting there on the menu is looking for dancing modes like, oh yeah, I don't want to dance dance for me? Yeah? Like, can we just a fk? How do we a FK? Actually? I don't think you do something kind of game nerds? Well, I mean, what if I don't want to check the movement? Hold on, wait a second, what if I don't want to log out? Like I don't want to log out. I just want to take this off for a second and go get something to drink. That's why

posit. Remember that's what I mean, a pos it, but not quote it entirely. Yeah, okay, wait wait, wait, who's with me? Check? What? Check the movement? Okay? Ready, no, well I'm doing it right now. It doesn't the character lets you dab. Oh you can do it. I think I have the dab version of Thank god you didn't get a dab expansion. If you have rt X on, it actually makes their dab looks. So what do we do? What do we kill? Where do we go? So everyone walks through this through this

portal? Correct? Yeah? Yeah? When you walk through the landscape changes and you feel like something in your in the the The haptic rig part of this. Maybe there's like a slight rumble to let you know that you move through this vortex, but you actually feel it. Yeah, it's kind of like when you when you go uh like the first like ten feet down a roller coaster kind of feeling, and uh, you move through the through the

vortex and it's you're you land in this sort of field. You can see these strange looking towers and things all around you, and there's a strange sort of landscape that's before you. You can see that there's grass and rocks and things all about, but there's also like some strange looking sort of reliefs in the ground, and you see the vortex close behind you as you move your way through. This is all I've ever wanted in a game Dark Matter.

Okay, find the nearest tavern. Like, do you think we can taste food in this game? Yeah, let's go for the beer, right, that's what I am. Not start holding tavern. I really want like food and a pine and just see what that's like in this game, because how cool is that? Like, I know, we felt the physical sense of being here, yeah, but what about taste? Yeah, so I want to fight near a mob. Let's go fight it? I start walking. We're the start zone, right. Oh my gosh, look at that.

I like, I can feel my foot on the ground. Yeah, weird, like I'm actually here. Yeah, that's really weird. That's so cool. I feel like i'm you know, the sun on on me in my sweating, Like am my sweating in real life? Or is that just like a sensation that I'm having right now? I'm always clammy. I go up and I touch like Pumpkin's character's head. I'm like, I don't know, can you feel this? Yeah, I can feel it. I feel like you're touching it hurt. Oh no, it doesn't hurt. I just feels

like you're touching me harder though, Does it hurt? I mean no, there's just kind of a like a haptic sensation, like it's it's like having a you know, a rumbling controller or something maybe on your chest. Yeah, it's just its okay, it just makes my chest rumble like you know. Yeah, I don't like it. I don't do that, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, there's weird. That is very weird. It is super weird. Feel poking you. That's weird. On the floor of

this this sort of field that you're in. You know, there's wind that's sort of whipping through. You can hear the sort of like three D effect moving through your your headset of this and ahead of you, peppering the ground. You just now realize what you thought maybe were rocks ahead of you are actually a field of what looks to be natural looking stones that are actually shaped like tiny human heads. Ah, what is that? Wicked again? What is that? Is? This? Is this gone? Do we choose?

Gone? Wait? All right? Stab it? See what happens. I'm gonna stab it. I'm gonna stab it. I got your heels. There's a lot of things that it could be. I've I've been in a Newmaneric world where we been to the hanging gardens of Babylon and that sounds way worse than you think it is, and it was actually hanging people. So I actually have no idea anything. Yeah, it's supposed to be like a like a really happy, beautiful Yeah, you know, maybe don't stab it.

Maybe just ask it a question like tap it. You know I'm poking it. Probably talk if you're poking it, I'm poking it. Don't poke it, don't poke it, just say hello. Taking it back regardless of mouth, and I am poking it in the fucking head. Oh I rolled a stealth This is a difficulty three. My check. Would you like to attack with your weapon? Yes? No? No? No, no, Jay? What you mean? No? How are you supposed to go into an mm O and not? I said to it. We're on a role play

server. I want to role play. I don't want to just murder hope all my way through everything. Okay, okay, okay, hello, young head. You have to tap it. Don't don't don't poke it, tap it with everything, Like, all right, I'm gonna poke like you're waking up someone. My finger poke it like a little poke. Okay. That is a difficulty three. Intellect based check. What the fuck do you have any skills that would help you interact? I have perception that you have a

perception. Yeah we all can see bro Oh my god, I just took them. But do you have to skill? Okay, So what you're going to want to do here is it's it's a difficulty three. Yeah, use like various things in your in your repertoire or your character profile. Try to bring that down or you could maybe even like you could bring it down another three and wait, guys, I think I have something. Okay, okay, looking at my skills, the box keeps moving. I got to keep

it still. I don't know. Uh. And it says that I have knowledge based tasks or under under You may have to ask, Oh there we go, yeah see you? Uh wait? What is pocket portal? I'll will get through my men. I don't if you bring anything down using effort, it's also the sum of the three of your stats. Might intellect and speed are your health? Oh? See effort that you use even in us just talking. If I wanted to convince you in something, I could actually

die from it because I would be using my intel. Wow, I'm not doing anything. I'm not helping you, guys. I don't want to die. The craziest what I mean, it's just the check us out. I'm feeling stuff, so I don't want to hurt. I don't want you to get hurt, you know, because no get hurt. How do I use my portal? Spell? No? What are you gonna do? No? I got a portal? Hold on. Let's watch us watch watch. Pocket

portal is an ability that you have that costs three intellect points. Would you like to use use this yes, very well minus three from your intellect pool, okay, And you can connect yourself for one hour to a small space that is out of phase and moves with you. You can access the space as if it were a convenient pocket or bag. But nobody else can perceive or access the space unless they have the ability to interact with trans dimensional areas.

Trans dimensional, that's right, what space can Space is a part of you, So you can't use it to carry more ciphers than your I already already read that part. I already read that part. How do I use it? Is it? There? Is it? There? You see something? I mean, what what would you describe you? It's your character? So I think I feel like it's like a thing where if I can just

like snap, there's like a thing that appears. I don't know where it comes from because this is my first time using it, but I feel like there's a maybe something that I can already put in there and I can just like I just holy ship, that's sick and it's pretty cool of mention, that is awesome. What the rest of you see? Yeah? I think that they would just see like a dagger, right, they would just see whatever I like sleight of hands, spacewarp and does the spacewarp or do they

does it just appear? Okay, yeah, I think it just appears when I go into this, like, can I like put myself space? Can hold up to one cubic foot? Am I a cubic foot? I don't know. I dropped at high school, guys, I don't know what to keep it? Foot? Is the fun? Guess? No, I didn't know that about you. Hold on, No, I just have the knife, cool the and it's pretty cool that I at least head, I don't. I mean, it's probably a rock garden. It's probably a weird a

weird rock guarden from some lord here. But oh could talk? I don't know? Hello? Can I ask the robot guy in my head? Can I ask him a question? Hello? Robot guy? How are you there? Would you like to interact with? No? Uh? Yeah that yeah? No? No, hey, no, how are you doing? How's the day? Yeah? It's the weather? Uh? So I have skills? Can I use one of these to interact with this thing in front of us at all? Maybe learn more about difficult intellect based skill? Okay,

and if you have any skills that pertain to interaction. Uh huh, what about understanding me and about understanding newmannera? Would that? Would that help? Unfashionately? Not in this case? Okay, what about knowledge based tasks? Yes, in this case, a knowledge based task would assist you. I'm just gonna go poke it, guys. I'm just guys. I'm gonna just say, all right at a maximum distance and let me see. How long is this whip? I unravel the rip whip for my waist. Okay,

this is this is pretty long. I'm gonna get ready, everybody, get ready, please, I'm ready. I guess I take a step back, take a step back. I whip it, although I try a couple of times and it doesn't work it for us? Somebody, how do you do? How do you am? I not doing it right? Flick make it difficult taking the rate if to and flick with light weapons. With a light weapon, you were able to ease the task by one. It is easier to hit with light weapons, but they do not do as much damage as

medium or heavy weapons. You're only going to do two damage. Character sheet, you should have an option for light weapons. Yes, there is a die next to that. You will be rolling a die to determine if you are able to hit this. Oh, oh no, this up? Have one asset for this role one one asset, so I I I click one, I put one? Uh? Uh? Okay is that difficulty? You said three? Right? Or was it two? I think there's zero even

now it's the two because you have one asset. Oh, I see how Yeah, you could spend different You could spend I think three of your of the intellect or of the pool that it is required to produce it one more if you wanted. No, I'm good, okay, Uh, I'm getting it. I'm sorry. Okay, I've messed it three times. I've messed up like three times. Asset one asset? Uh? And then a cost? Is this gonna cost me a mana? Attacks such as these do not

cost you any points from your pools. Okay, points from pools? Okay, I don't know about is it? You have rolled a natural twenty Oh, you have the ability to use a major effect or plus four damage in addition to your normal attack a major effect. Yes, that sounds good. Maybe I don't know. Yeah, I mean it sounds good. I mean it sounds I don't know what to mean. Let's see, I want to see what this is. It cracks out and it looks as if she has

been using a whip her whole life. And you see technome also known as pocket whip one of these heads. When that happens, what kind of whip did you say that you had. Oh, it's a it's a golden lasso that's like all LEDs, but it's like made of strong material. Okay. So when that, when that effect occurs, you can see the gold light splash across the head. And they're small, They're probably about half the size

of a normal human head. The head takes on the color of the glow from your whip, and almost as if a drop of water was dropped into a large body of water. You see a ripple effect cascade through these heads. The light cascade out, rippling through the heads, and you see them begin to move stuff. Okay, I run, what do you do? What do you do? Like ducks like the foss to hell that we can do this, guys, we can kill it. Okay, you go go. I'm behind you. I got your heels fighting. Are we going to

fight them? I get I guess so, I guess up. Let's go. But they're so cute, great, these are probably people's actual heads. That's the thing I don't want. Okay, all right, okay, okay, I think it's creepy. So does everyone run away? Hell? No, No, And I don't think any of us two yeah, I mean if they're staying, I don't know, we'll be in the back of the group. I gotta start to move away. And when I see that nobody

else is, I'm like, either okay, run you can. I'm like, you go, man, you go, or then you can count. It's like it looks like a sea of them littered across the four I'd say yes, but I think this could be too many guys. I got this is fine. It's either going to be a boss it's like one, or it's going to be a super row some treasure trush don't wor but there's a lot of yeah, really, five of us. I don't even know how to use my stuff yet, guy, So it would combine into a boss,

that's how it would work. Can we pick one up? Have you tried picking one up and putting it in your bag or whatever you got? I don't know. I can't see it. I don't know. Well, are they like swirling around whack like are they like forming into something or they're just they're sort of doing a The light is still rippling throughout all of the heads, and they have sort of like moves up and down. I mean, come on, this is like our level one zone, right, this

is where we level up. We gotta okay, all right, all right, I don't think all right, no matter how many callballs you take in gold Shire, I don't think they're going to Actually, I think it'll still kill you. I mean that's the thing. I can't count how many there are here, and I don't know if this is smart to try to take them alone right now. But if we attack just one, yeah, that's probably fine. Okay, I'm gonna attack one. Okay, I'm going to

stand back here and watch. I'm also going to stand back and watch. No, I want to hit it. How do I do this? Can I just do this naturally? No? Or do I have to? No? Well, I mean just try pulling out your your Yeah, go for a weapon. Are you using to attack this? I have my carbon fiber dagger. No, you can use a mite or a speed based roll to

attack this. This is considered a light weapon speed speed and you have l one asset as this is a light weapon, it is easier to hit with No do I make that with my light weapon skill or my attack with the dagger skill. Your light weapon skill will be fine. The bonus one you have an asset of one. There is as not DIFFICULTT three effort none asset of one. Thank you, no cost zero. Submit you have rolled a natural one. Yeah, I can see it. No, I can see

it. Thank you. This is known as a gm intrusion. Okay, yes, okay. When natural runs are rolled, you have the opportunity to take a gm intrusion. A gm intrusion complicates the situation that you are in. You were given one XP and a second XP that you can give to one of the other players in your party. I'll give it to Technom. Wow hit it with the whip, she can have the other XP. Oh. Technome receives one XP and Jay Gamerson receives one Xpkamerson Merson. Thanks Elvis

for the twitch prime. This is for you, buddy. When you hit the when you hit one of these smaller strange stone heads with your with your dagger, it breaks apart. It breaks apart before you are even able to stab it. And as it does, there is a horrific sound. Oh no, guys, they might actually be a boss. Everybody's sound gets very strange in their headsets, gets a bit a bit loud. Twitch chat begins to flicker. Bright flash reached alive you guys, hear me? Bright flash

covers your vision? Oh fuck, I can't see. Oh I can't say can we pause it? Oh my god? Sorry god, there's a there's a headache that starts to erupt through all of you, and you all pass out. And that's where we're gonna take our breath all you fucking asshole. Awesome. Yeah, so fucking cool. And he knew that it was gonna fail. Let me do what chat seas, Come me do what chat seas.

Games account there for for doing all this. She's been absolutely fantastic to work with. Thank you so much, Darcy. I love her. And let's let's hop back into the game to my fuck up. So slowly each of you starts to come to you don't feel great. This is not a pleasant experience. It feels like a it feels like a migraine is kind of set in on each of you. Feels like a migraine set it on me. Oh, what happened? Is that supposed to happen? Did they just not

tell us about? Sorry, No, I stayed up so late looking at everything about that. That is not a thing that's supposed to happen. Did I hit a rock with a dagger and I died? Well? Okay, but maybe just maybe not so loud. Maybe maybe it's like a surprise thing. Like of course they didn't put it in the material ahead of time because they want something to surprise people would so we make interest in content, you know what I mean, Migraine, They want to surprise. I don't.

I don't see my chat. Yeah, I don't see chat either. I can't even open my eyes. To be honest, I subscribe if you're there, Really you're going to do that? Now? Like what maybe what was this? What was the chances when you did the research last night on those

things? The bad things happening about this technology? It's like really small and if and if well, what I looked at was if there was like a short with the technology while you had it on, like would it set you on fire and all this other crazy stuff and it was supposed to maybe potentially shock you, but it would be less than a taste, So I was.

I thought, Okay, it's probably fine. I was. I was freaking out about just the screens being so close to my brain and just like in my eyes being like a microscope and a lens and like the sun and like it just projecting it down to the back of my brain. And it could just be an erotic scare, but I think, wow, in irrational fear. But I feel like that's what is happening right now. What what if we are all like I don't have to be because of that freak out

scaret that anyway? Okay, well, hang on, guys, I'm just gonna take mine off. Okay, what yeah, yeah, we gotta go yeah yeah, all the men do the swipey and pulls, I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and do the gesture to bring up the pause screen and to stop the game. Swipey menu is currently inaccessible? What oh yeah, it's thin? Why why no? Wait, what's the gesture for the menu? Is it not to do this? Well? Yeah, sipe currently? What what is? What? Can you tell us what's going on? Hey,

robot man, Okay, tell us what's going on? Can we log out? Where's my credit card? We're going to put more money in the machine, right, Why is the menu inaccessible? No, noel? Is there another way to exit the game without pulling up the menu? First? Unknown? I want to reach my hand up and take off Why do those heads keep cooling? I'm going to take my headset off, like like reach up and like try and like just all my face, you know, try and

like pull off the thing. Abob, you can't feel anything there? What the fuck? Oh? I mean that makes sense because then like what if you go to take a helmet off and you accidentally take off your headset? That's fine, that's fine, But like it's gotta be like a way something on your body, like a reset button or something right, like a re Are you gonna don't even I don't even feel that's weird? Hey poke me wait yeah, wait a minute, you know that pressure? I walk up

and I laughed the forehead, guys, I don't like rumbling anymore. So when you go to slap him in the forehead, it feels like you get slapped in the forehead. You guys, this hard. I don't feel the rumbling anymore? Oh man? Wearing an anime? Fuck me? Wait? Which one? Which one? Tokyo gool maybe. Oh you're talking about like Horizon. Yeah, that's ah fuck, this is some online ship that actually hurt. I prefer a long Horizon. Can we be in that one instead?

Wait? What if we did take our headsets off and now we're just copies inside the game? This isn't so much. That would be so fucking cool? Okay, that actually would it? Then we would be so cool, right, I wouldn't hate it? No, that would suckul here forever we get to respawn, though, I want to know if we respond. I need to know now before I get in any fights. No, I don't want to try that if we die in the game, do we die in your life? Well? Command unrecognized? No, it's a game anymore.

This is new min Era, the ninth World system, right, my favorite system. So I'm not that doesn't suck that much to me. What's up? I'm sure it's just a technical issue, guys. I'm sure they'll sort it out. What are you saying, techno? Well, what do we do in the meantime until they sort it out? What happens if something happens to us? Happens? If I have to pee? Am? Well, do you do you feel anything, maybe a little bit? You know, do we do I remember anything prior to this? To me waking up,

that is a really good question. Do you remember? I'm trying to remember anything previously, like to me just waking up, Yes, okay, okay, what does your apartment smell like cats? I think that's really prevalent in your head because smell is a memory trigger for a lot of people. Okay, oh my god, I I a tropical citrus candle. Do I smell that? Yeah? Okay, Wait, who's going to take care of my cats if we get stuck in here? Like? How many? What

if it takes like a day before they get the whatever? Blitch? This is fixed? Okay, well your your cat was watching like our stream went down your monds, We had like a billion people watching, so people like to my monds live close by? I got the O I don't okay, well I feel them now, thank you. I don't live with anyone. Nobody knows and like nobody knows anyone from my personal life to contact my dog. Oh that's true. Okay, then will come to yeah or like okay,

it's all right, It's probably just probably just the same. Jude Zach has your info so it's fine, you know, like you're fine, but just okay, everybody knows we were streaming together. If people don't hear from us, they're gonna someone will do something. And also we're in the beta. I'm sure if there's an actual issue, they're gonna look at the lists of everybody who's involved. Don't worry, like, yeah, they have our actual information because they sent us the key. So okay, even were stuck,

like will the stream come back on? At least? I don't know listen if I die, I want it to be on twitch all right, Like I don't know, I don't know if that's good. You know that might be bad. Yeah, but I'll be like fucking dead, so it won't matter, you know. Okay, that's impossible. Okay, it's a VR headset. It's not actually doing anything to your body except rumbling like a

fucking dual shock controller. Yeah. I walk up and I I was excited, and I said I was excited, but I was actually very nervous about the technology of this. Well so was I, And I mean, they don't it's not anything even plugged into your brain. It can't actually do anything. The worst thing that could happen is that it malfunctions and shocks you, but the shock is still less than what a taser would do to you. Okay, Like, how would that make sense. It's it's not even plugged

into our body or into our brains at all. Makes sense. I'm gonna lock up if I'm getting punch pincher, not punch pincher, pincher on the arm. Face. Yeah, I feel that, Yeah, exactly, See that's real. That's not just a rubble on my hands. I hit him in the face and he said out. You know, it wasn't even that hard it heard. Okay, I bruise like a peach, obviously. I just I think that I think that this is an anime right now. I think we're in an anime. I think we're still going to fucking anime.

We're in a fucking anime. Well, now we do kill the boars, so we get stronger, right, and we don't die because we need to know if we can respawn before we die. Maybe we should find the nearest town first. Yeah, let's see if we can find any other players. H King Layer Layered Laired, whatever his name is, the King King Layered. That sounds really like like King Lear too, much to me. But hold on, before we do anything. Do the MPCs in the game know

they're an NPC in the game? What if we're MPCs? Man, do you ever know that they're an I am the best if we don't let them know who we really are, that's like NBC's got it. Yeah, I am Jacobmerson exactly, and I am l Rick Shiloh All Rick Shiloh Technome. I am technome technome. Okay, no gnome, even though I'm taller than a nome. Now listen, I adjusted my slider. I didn't like being that short. Okay, it's weird, okay, or pretty sure? What's her in game name? Or ex? Oh? Can he whispered? Let's

talk a little louder. You whispered? Uh? Oh god, Oleary, oh Leary. Okay, I've got think something happened whenever we got bonked on the head or something. You lost your voice too. I think it'll come back with time. It's fine, that'll happen. Yeah. Yeah, I've been hit on the head a lot of times. I would know. Okay, yeah, I was on the head. Now, okay, let's go. Let's go talk to somebody maybe about those heads. And also I don't

know about the world. If I'm actually a copy in a game and real PB has logged out and is dealing with twitch chat right now, I'm the happiest motherfucker alive. This is amazing. I'm not gonna celebrate till I find out if I die my entire life in this game exactly. What if like invades the world and then then we really don't want it like they have the iron winds. What if like a bunch of nanites come through and then all we hear is like nano machines sound, and then we die. Yeah,

we gotta That's why we gotta go to town find out. As a response, die from from the from the iron ruins. It's more likely that we would turn into half of our body is lead, or maybe we grow giant eyestalks like a crab or things like that. Are about our mollicular structures changed than us dying. Yeah, it's worse. So I would die inside and dying inside, Okay, Well, be hilarious. Technom's right here. We should skabooty. Well, you should lead the way because you know you are

the one that hits things, so I have the perception skill. No, oh wait, I think I actually, oh sorry, I thought I had something in my menu, but I don't even think I can pull it up right now? Yeah, you just got to look through your pack. You know. I can't get my character profile. Yeah, I can't get mine either RPG all right, well I oh, sorry, what I mean? I have a thing? We can find a town? Maybe? No, do we have player intrusions still? I don't think he's responding. Player intrusions

are something that you can access. One XP is the cost per player intrusion. Sick, can I can? I I want to use one. I want to use a lucky break. I want to find a town nearby, somewhere on the horizon. As I turn around right now, dream a really bad headache. Yeah, thank you. Sorry, I'm sorry. And also I don't think you have to scream like I don't think he's sump in the sky. Yeah yeah, I swat him on the forehead again. Oh sorry, right, okay, Your player intrusion lucky break with the cost of one

XP allows something unexpected to happen that is to your advantage. A rope your opponent hanging from might snap the person you're debating in front of an influential eon priest my trip or forget that they were going to say something that was supposed to last only a round or two last a little while longer. In this case, you use your lucky break. Yeah yeah, yeah, Wait, well but I think I think I have a better one. Oh shit, I don't know if I have a better one, but I'm a navigator.

I got I know, I think I got a better one from Jay Gimmerson has been accepted. Oh yeah, I used it. Okay, all right, as long as we get there, it doesn't matter. But just for future reference, I'm a navigator. So what the Yeah, Jay, what I mean? Do I look at gamer Son? It's comersons. Yeah, we got to get good at that. Sorry, what are your names again? Techno technome, ull Rick, Shila, l Rick. I can rem that, Yes, Jay, I can remember that. That's not too hard.

And then Una, okay, and I'm Coralai okay, Coral God remember those? Yeah, Larry, you are currently thirty eight point three miles from the town of Caford. Thirty eight miles. Wow, which direction is that? That's like two days. You're a navigator, we can go. Yeah, that's that's two days of travel. Are you guys, we got it. I think we got We don't have a choice, Okay, all right, easy, Well maybe there's something like one of us, so that's easy.

It's a guy who doesn't even like leave his apartment ever. Yeah, I do in video games all the time. Okay, I know what travel time is. It's easy. I don't know if there's an auto run in this game. We feel this, all right, let's just go. Let's not have walked. Do we know if other people can hear no, like we can hear them at the same time, like if they're nearby. I don't know what if what if there's other players or n PC's nearby and they

can hear us talking to them and they can hear his answers. Oh that's a good idea. Okay, are on a party by party basis? Okay? Can they see us talking to thin air? Yeah? Probably, I would say, not visible to anyone but the party. Yeah, right, so it's like we're talking to someone that's not there, yeah, talking to all right? Okay, yeah, okay, I actually have something in my in my in my pouch here that I saw on my character sheet before it

was gone. It's a travel bubble. Oh like in like The Wizard of Oz, Lilinda travels by bubble. Yeah, I guess, I don't know. It just looks like a bubble. I didn't do the tutorial and I didn't read the fucking menu, so I have no idea what it actually does, but I know that it's called a travel bubble. In Your character sheets are definitely available, by the way. Still, Oh okay, okay they are? Oh how do we im? They're just saying that. I'm like,

guys, what are you talking about? I can see my character sheet right here? Are not my I can see my skill set right here. Oh shit, Oh it wasn't pulling up for me. Yeah, well I think it's probably is a headache, probably yeah yeah, oh I had to. I had to refresh it. Okay, yeah it's it's now yep' got it? Okay, so oh yeah, here it is. Okay, the user and any additional targets that can fit into space in immediate distance in diameter. Oh my god. Yeah, we can travel for up to ten hours

in a cipher. Oh yeah, okay, aren't those dangerous style? No, No, ciphers could be, depending on, of course, the level, but once they're used, they're used they're like one time use magic items. So I would suggest using them when we have them, and then we'll just get them as we go. Also, characters, I create ciphers and salvage ciphers, so if you guys ever explore and look, I'm also a salvager. Wait, you like make ciphers? Yeah I can? Yeah,

yeah, I mean it's giving me some time and I'll learn them. But yeah, I can make ciphers. Can you remake this one? I don't. Once you use it, I can't. I can't take the iotem out of it. Well, I mean if I give it to you, could you learn how to make this force in the future sacrifice? You may want to use it now? No, no, no, no, that's way better if you if you can multiply this. Yeah, I'm willing to walk for two days so that the dissecting a cipher to probably use it. It

may not ever be used again. I mean, I've a really useless one. Do you want mine? You have the same thing? No, but I have a just like a remote control, a useless one. You know, I'll just take your useless ciphers. That'd be cool. Yeah, yeah, I have like a remote control, right, But I could I have three on me right now? If I use anymore, I'm gonna start going crazy. What Yeah? Yeah, the new Manerra that's in the cipher is the technology, and if you have too many of them, it'll start messing

with your psyche because of the magnetism in the new mineric technologies. Oh my god, it'll be like on CBO, you'll actually murder people, right yeah. Well, the funny thing about that is that my character has never murder murdered one person but has not actually is not a murderer. But I play into it because it's funny. But yeah, the the I can't have any other I can't have any other cipher's right now because I have three, And

the same thing with everybody else. If you guys have any more than your limit, you'll just it's not good. It's not good. Okay, okay, Well should we just use this then? Well, I mean, like, how crazy are we talking? Because, like, I mean, I've been a streamer for like eight years. It's true. Yeah, well, I mean it's not. I mean it's a little bit more. I think if a fit like a like a little bit more harmful, you know, I mean, it's not okay, so like we're like noctur and levels are

crazy. Yeah, let's let's maybe not fuck around with it. Actually like an actromagnetic movement. Like even more, we're like worse than electromagnetic like disturbance because we don't know what this technology is. Remember what I said about the iron wind. Imagine that technology harnessed somehow inside of the cipher and if that comes out, or if we have too many of it, I don't know, I don't know. This is terrifying. Face. I'm gona trying to take this film that for a while. Okay, Okay, Okay, I'm

just I'm going to use the I'm going to use the travel bubble. Okay, okay, probably for the best thing. All right, And we're all in agreement. We're pretending to be MPCs, right we are. We're from here. I'm not an NPC. I am all Rick Shiloh. We'll make a story on the way. Well, yeah, we got this each other players, what are we going to do? All? Yeah? Are we going to players? Yeah? If we see other players, that are we going to try to make concept of role play server? We have to role

play who we think. Okay, even if there are players, they're right, because in real roleplayerre an NPC to everybody else's story. So I mean, I totally get that. I just mean, like, this is an issue that we're a technical issue that we're having. Do we want to let people know that we're having Okay, hold on, hold on? Is that okay? You you got to give us your best pirate voice, go my best pirate voice? Yeah, pirate. I mean I'm not an actual pirate.

I'm like loosely based around a pirate. I'm like, you look like a pirate right now. I'm just saying, yeah, I'm not like an R kind of pirates. Well yeah, I mean a little more in line with like like a DVD pirate like CAD. Yeah, DVD piracy was because some um, you know, feet or some rum and then she could just become Jack Sparrow. At't work. That's That's all I need. Okay, there we go, We'll do that. We'll do buy us all around when we get there. Okay, all right, something holding to do it?

What common we gotta we gotta we gotta figure this out, all right, because if if we meet other players, right, but we're trying to be NPC's, we might end up eventually confused. So we need like a symbol that we're like also players. You know what I'm saying. Pineapple code word always pineapple? Why why? Why? Why? Pineapple? Pineapple pie? We got it? We got it here, No, we can't. That's such a giveaways, a giveaway. If you could do a micro dab okay,

listen, listen, I don't know. I wouldn't. World dapping is actually very offensive and I don't think we want to start a war here if you're making that up because you don't like it, you know, take two fingers and like what are we doing with this? Two fingers? Two fingers and then you just move your head oppositeway. Just it could be slower too, like you know, I'm not trying to mean common hand one day, sure you want like a micro t Yeah, it's like a minidap to do

it right now. Just it could come in handy one day. What if we like practice a space pirate. Somebody looks like Buna O'Leary. Oh my god, I'm using this travel bubble. Yeah, let's go. I'm good. Well, we'll figure this out later. I actually don't pull up the menu to try to use it. I actually just like see if I can make it grow like when I pull it out. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute. I just looked at my cipher. I didn't even know we had to. I did not read this. I did

not read anything. It's okay, I what is this? Teleporter? What what teleporter? Teleporter? Maybe what says right here? Teleporter? Right there? Says right there? I'm right there. Tell a little icon't know you, but I'm pointing to it. Click. Is there like a bubble that you can There's a bubble to the right hand side, like if you click, If you click that bubble, it'll show you the details of the item. Oh there's a oh wait that wrong bubble. Oh god, I clicked

so many bubbles. Okay, right here. They felt that teleports the user up to one hundred times the cipher level in feet to a location. See. Oh this is just this is not going to get us to our Yeah. Yeah, that's good. It's a good to know, though. I can I can run whenever gamers try it decides to kill someone again, I'll trade you an item for that. I gotta use this now. My head really hurts. Okay, let's don't worry about trading later. Like rubbis shopkeeper

or something or buyout. That sounds bad. Why didn't you make a pirate? I'm got a rogue. Oh that makes sense. You can rub Yeah, all right, you used thing? Yep, wah wah. How does it work? So? What does it look like when you pull out the travel bubble? It's described as a handheld device, but it looks like it's a little tiny I guess, but it's it's huge. I think if it's in my hand like that, so I like pull it out and it kind

of just grows a little bit into an actual bubble. And then if I kind of do this blow a little bit, it then grows and we can just step inside it. It looks like a soap bubble. It looks like blowing bubbles, yeah, with the beautiful colors and stuff like that, and reflecting from the sun. And it even probably looks wet and will you know, ripple in things when you walk through it, but when once you get inside, it's dry. Sounds like soap. You have access to. Cipher

ciphers are commonplace throughout New min Era the Ninth World. They are remnants of technology from ages past and are extremely common. However, due to the nature of most ciphers and everyone's understanding of them. They are only one use. Are you sure you would like to use this now? Are we good? Yeah? Yeah, it's best to just blow through cyphers because then we would always just get new ones. But yeah, we only have a limited amount, so yeah, okay, I use it. The travel bubble expands.

I believe it's ten feet in diameter, so it's a tight squeeze in the in the sphere, but it does sort of expand around you. A sort of strange crystalline like liquid refraction is happening with all of the light that's streaming into it. So there's a weird sort of prismatic effect that I think alters your perception of your surroundings a bit. You know, everything's a little bit distorted and whatnot. But you have a you have control over this. It

sort of hovers up from the ground. Wow, okay, so I kind of just I just like push on the edges a little bit and again it ripples and it'll let me move it like I'm rolling it like a hamster ball in my life. You're a hamster, yeah, a real life, actual hammy for me. Yeah, come on it. We all need to get in here. I'm not going by myself. I always wanted to travel by bubble. Yeah, this is amazing. I wonder what, Okay if I just do this? Oh yeah, here we go? Are we all in?

Yes? Okay, yeah, then yeah, I will just kind of do this and lift it up and it just slowly start lifting up. You're like him, and it's like a hot air balloon. This is so cool. Okay. I can't look down because I actually am afraid of heights, but this is amazing. Yeah, okay, let's why did we want to travel by bubble? This? I didn't think it would levitate those high up because it's the prime example of thinking this is awesome and it's not actually awesome.

Jake, can you just tell me where to go? I'm closing my eyes. I'm gonna roll roll it. I've lifted us high enough up. This reminds drops on a Candos Wonderland. I don't like it. Okay, you guys are screwed. I have wings. Yeah you can glide down. How do you get wings and the teleporter? Because I have wings? Who's controlling the bubble? I am you are? Yeah, it's okay. I think I'm the can somebody else control it. It's your cipher, so you

have primary control. Okay, okay, just just tell me where to go that way? Okay, j eyes are fucking closed. Well, I don't which way? North? South? What town are we going to do? Again? I see something over there? How about like this forward? Raft right? What town are we going to? I don't know what? Where are we going? Commerson? Did you fart? No? What the fuck? Definitely is your character? Just how long do we have to do the bubble for? Maybe? Well? I don't know, no which direction?

No? Where do we go? Which direction? What was my locky break? The closest the closest town to you is k Ford to the to the to the what to the north? Southpford is northwest from your current location? Why don't we go high up and then we look at us officiation? Yeah? I agree, agree, thirty eight miles away? Okay, yeah, we just have to make sure we're down by the ground in ten hours? Oh right? Yeah, well, I mean it won't take us ten hours

to travel there for traveling by bubble sooner? Oh my god? Yeah? Yeah, let's go. Let's goators Okay, okay, go west, forward, left, left, I will open my eyes. Do I see the civilization anywhere? Please make a difficulty intellect a difficulty six intellect check. Okay. If you have the perception skill. You can also add that I have perception, I have tracking, I have navigation, I also have community explore navigation or perception. Okay, to assist you. Okay, you can make

a difficulty six check to see if you can see kifford Okay? And is there a there's no bonus right for the DPT correct? Okay? Huh six? Can I bring that down at all? Would you like to use effort? Can I use my pool instead of effort? I don't really know what's effort you pool does? Use your pool? Yes, then yes, I would like to do that. To use effort in the intellect pool would normally require three points of intellect. Okay, it will reduce the difficulty by one.

However, you have one edge in intellect, which means it will only cost you two points from your intellect pool to use effort. Okay, yeah, I will do that. Then, so the difficulty is now six. The difficulty is six, however, you have reduced it by one, okay by using effort. Zero assets or just you have one asset because of your travel bubble and your current height. So effort is your pool and it's just giving me a lot of options for the cost then comes up. Now you

just hit submit, I think okay with zero cost? Okay, Oh dear God, Unfortunately you rolled a five. That is not enough to succeed. You cannot get a good view of cap forward or justin from your current location. You must get closer. Okay. Well, I can't say anything, so I guess I'll just ocean from where we are. Yeah, just keep going. We're it was just keep going. Okay. If we see another townel the way, we can stop there instead, or like small house or

something. Okay, gotta be people that live here, right orly anybody else? No offense? Hey, no, Can the jack change their flex skill on the fly once a day? Jacks can change their flex skill once per day? All right? In the ninth World one day, last twenty eight hours, twenty eight I could get this future and rotation of the earth and things like that. Oh man, is that legit? What do you guys think I should pick up for a skill? Billionaires into the future. Wait

a minute, Oh my god, I just had a brain gasm. I fucking love this. This is ceasing right. The way the Whack explained it to me is that like it's been long enough that many civilizations could have come and gone and coming gone and coming gone, and the earth could have been whatever in that time reshaped. And is there any skills do you guys want me to pick up or don't take a free one? Or no? I mean, I don't know. What do we need, like support things,

something that's probably gonna help us get to a city? Do you have any could you? I don't know, like a persuasion maybe if we get to the city, Well we have we I don't see a city yet, so we got to get there first. So maybe navigation. I already have perception, which she got navigation? Maybe, like I'll figure it out on the way. Okay, I'm just leading us in the direction in which would you go ahead and percept and maybe look for a town because we don't know where

we're going. No, could I try and perceive the town too? Are we allowed to? Yes? Hell? Yeah, all right? Where's the town? Let me let me take a look. What kind of what is it? As I have described hep Ford is approximately thirty eight point three miles to the northwest is approximately sixty five miles to the east southeast. Yeah, we just go We just go northwest. Guess we can. We can maybe try and find it when we're closer, but like which, wait, okay, wait, this is easy, This is easy. I got this.

Okay, I'm I'm going to move the bubble ten miles in a direction that for me in the bubble is like up and to the left. Because we don't have a compass. What do you When I do that, I then want to stop and I want to say, no, how far away is the town now? Yeah? Yeah, please make an intellect check navigation? Are you serious? This is difficulty for we have one asset. I think we go ahead. You've got navigation. I got perception, but I failed.

No, but we can have navigation and perception. I still failed. There's I think. Yeah, I know, but I think we're better off to just follow the water. We're gonna find a town, a coastal town at some point, right, I'm fine with that. Yeah, follow the river west. Okay, Hey, we're exploring. Let's go. I just I just follow the river. I think I remember there was like a giant what the what does it call? When the water comes in. Whatever calls

when the water comes in. It was the island went out to the left and uh yeah, it was just like a fork or there was like a spoon somewhere in there that dipped in. And so if we see a giant body of water, then that's probably like north And then we just had a little west of that city. Weally right above a river. I'm just gonna follow the river. Yeah, yeah, yeah, river. Usually towns are built on rivers. That's good. I'm just gonna follow this river. Please

make a difficulty read intellect check using navigation or perception. You have one asset. Okay, hopefully I did that right this time. Oh my god. You have rolled a natural one and earn yourself a GM intrusion. You gain one XP and you can give one XP to another player. Uh. I'm gonna go ahead and give that to anybody else who can navigate us. Uh, I have a player intrusion that might help us. Yeah, but I

have to ask Noel, the invisible guy in our heads. The intrusion is available to CORRELI what, yeah, you gotta you gotta take the NAT one before we ya think? Yeah, okay, all right, So who else can navigate just in case this doesn't work. Is it just you? J okay, I'm giving the xpeed to Jake, Jake Emerson and Coral. I have earned one XP thanks. No, you are making the travel bubble move.

You'll notice that the river seems to behave strangely below you. In the river, you can see several what appear to be rapids sort of moving about through the river, and one of the rapids appears to rise up an actual what looks to be like a rock, just moves up vertically. Several of the other rapids also begin to move towards your travel bubble. I think we should go yeah, I stop Aquaman. I think we should stop debating and just go yeah. I'm already following like, I don't know if I can

Actually they position themselves as well. They position themselves in a ring around the travel bubble. The rabbits is the bubble safe? Like well, the bubble hold. I don't know what the I don't know, But why am I able to keep moving the bubble or no, I'm trying getting us killed? I don't know if I if I need to keep rolling to move the bubble or not? Do I can I move the bubble or not? Are you trying to evade these objects? One? Please make a difficulty for speed check.

Okay, do you have any skills that might assist you initiative? No? I don't think so. I have edge. I don't know if that helps. You can still spend effort. Yeah, Wait a minute, while I'm over here. Wait what the fuck? Oh my god, I have a player intrusion? Can I use it now? I'm using it. I'm using it. I'm using it right now. You cannot use a player intrusion until after this scene has resolved. Oh okay, well ship just before the intrusion? Ah? Okay? Oh sort of character? Can anybody take over

this bubble? Or is it only only only PB only PP? He said that cipher is mainly controlled by the one who field. I have a question, Noel, can I can I use my hedge magic on the bubble to make it reflect like a mirror, so that way we become seemingly invisible? Does that make sense? If you would like to do this, what level is your cipher? What level is the bubble? Five? If you would like to do this, this will be an intellect check difficulty five. Okay,

you have one asset one asset. Okay, Oh boy, you would like to make the task easier, you can use effort. Uh and it would only costs me too, because I have edge right, correct, Okay, I'm gonna do that. Yes, difficulty five, that's okay. Here we go. Oh okay, what do you make the bubble look like? I basically make it. I want to say, to where it's like a one way mirror. I guess where we can see out, but it reflects perfectly back to where. Uh, it reflects like the clouds and the sky

and and itself pretty much, but in the ground. But it doesn't like reflect us at all. It doesn't show us anymore. Does that make sense? Absolutely? I understand it's just a one way mirror all the way around the bubble. Absolutely. So the bubble just takes on this sort of illusionary appearance, almost like you've sort of given it an invisibility kind of effect. Absolutely, and that just seems to move all around the bubble. You can

see that there is almost an instant reaction to these to these objects. They start to spin around the location, and then they start to spread outwards away from your location, almost like they're looking for something. Holy shit, it worked. What do you do? Oh I have I have magic? Do I still need to resolve the other thing? Now this situation has been resolved,

Okay, I can I use a player intrusion. Now you may serendipitous landmark just when it seems like the path is lost where you are long a trail marker, landmark, or simply the way the terrain or corridor bends, rises or falls will suggest the best path forward. Uh uh huh. I think what happens minus an XP for that, by the way, I think what happens is you start to I think on the inside of the bubble you can see because I think what you have is like you have a miniature sphere

that's still a representation of this bubble. So you've enlarged it, but you still have the sort of original sphere. You'll notice that a light emits from the sphere to a location on the on the interior of the bubble. You'll see it's it's probably like, oh cool, what's what's like if I move us this way, the light would move? Okay, yeah, And what what's the what's the most representative color that you have of your attire? Oh? Blue? Probably it would be a blue light then okay, cool,

all right? Then yeah, I will then take us down so that we're not too far off the ground anymore. But yeah, I will I will go in that direction then. So we only got ten hours, but it shouldn't take that long, I hope, depending on how fast this bubble moves. Just mirrors the in game music getting really creepy. Yeah, it's a really cool soundtrack though. Yeah. It please make a difficulty to navigation check.

You have two assets, yet you have rolled a three. However, that beats the target number because of the two assets, you are successful. You see. I guess the light stretches out and it's it's not your travel bubbles not that fast. It's probably like maybe like ten miles an hour or something like that, maybe five to four. Yeah, so it's gonna take about four hours, yep, right, yeeah, So you guys will be traveling for a while. Can I make a perception check. I want to

see if I can notice besides the town. I'm want to see if there's any like landmarks or farms or something like that that I can see as we're like going along to like make note of of like, oh, there's a farm right there. You know, stuff like that. I will also do that as casually to do that, just to get a lay of the land. Because we're new here, are we able too? Of course, anytime that you would like to make a check with your character, you are able

to. You may ask null at any time. All right, nice? Okay. If you are trying to observe the landscape and memorize it, that will be a difficulty three intellect check. If you have skills based on perception or navigation, you may roll that. Okay, would my understanding new Minera come in accordance to that or just roll intellect? Unfortunately not? Okay? Two do I have and do we have any assets for that? There are two assets available? Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, I think I

did that right. Yeah. So on your character sheet you can if you don't have a skill that's really applicable for the situation. You'll notice that right next to the three stats, there's a little die. You can just click those if you want to roll some days. Oh, I see them, I just click on intellect. Yeh. Did you say that the difficulty was three difficulties three? You have a perception skill as well, which you can you can use that there's a die next to that perception scope. I didn't

even use perception. I'm dumb. Okay, all right, do I need to reroll because I use intellect? I maybe should have done the tutorial. I mean, I think he's still blast, so only did the tutorial. I just keep rolling. Am I doing it right yet? I don't know. I think it should be going through by now. Right, So each of you except uh Na, gains a bit of a lay of the land moving across the landscape here towards the town of Kephford. Mmmm, pirate voices,

can you keep it down? It's distracting. So a lot of the landscape is in your area's kind of a bit mountainous, and I think all of you will probably be a bit blown away as you're sort of traveling through. This is a very different world, okay. Things act a lot differently, the creatures look a lot different, and you'll see things I think you've

seen in some video games that you've played. There's strange like metallic objects that shapes might not make any sense for where they're positioned in the mountain side. You might just see like a very strange angled metallic object that that has no seams in it that's kind of rounded, like you've never actually seen anything that

could, you know, be like this, It doesn't seem possible. You'd see maybe a few pieces of land that are sort of floating in the air with root systems bursting out from the bottom and strange looking plant life and trees. There would be a few creatures that are sort of roaming about as well, some that are way too big that would probably terrify you a little bit,

and some that might float through the air without any wings. There are a lot of sites that you see along the way that I think probably might make you a little anxious. In general, this is a weird place, and I think as you're making this trip, it's just that that feeling deepens with every mile. It's a very strange place. The look better in the fucking trailer. The landscape in general, there's a lot of rolling like green hills, and there's some foothills and that kind of thing that you see.

It's a little bit mountainous in the area that you are in. In general, you can see that there are herds of these like strange looking creatures that are moving about, and some places below some of them have stopped by the river to have a drink. Holy shit. Yeah, if I didn't have this huge migraine, I might be enjoying this better. But right now I'm just feeling really uncomfortable. M It's like fucking moro wind and oblivion. And oh can I cast healing touch on her head? Does that make sense?

My headache went away? I don't know about you, guys. No, I still have mine, ignoring mine wonders migraine, man, I think I have one. I have no idea, and I'm just used to having migraine. Uh do you ask an all this question? Yes, you would like to use healing touch? Is that? Yes? I would like to remove her migraine. She is our navigator after all. Oh, we got this light. Really, anybody could take over and I could just nap it for an hour. I don't think we can use this. I don't want to

pop it. Yeah, like, oh okay, and I have wings. I'm okay, I'll do it, but you, I mean everyone else might die. You know it could be fair well, I mean we're not that far from the ground anymore. Just in case it does pop. But yeah, it's fine, I can I'll stay awake. It's not a problem. Are you using your healing touch ability? I place a place like two fingers on her forehead, and I'm like, now, how do I get it? How do I how do I get it to work? I'm touching her,

there's a pop up. There's a pop up that sort of like happens with the confirmation and it just says healing touch on it. Oh, how do I do healing touch? Yeah? This is a difficulty to intellect role. Okay, you are trained in the healing skill, you can roll that. Okay, no ass's or anything correct. Okay, Yeah, there's a pretty strange feeling that comes across your body, CORALI what do you think? I mean, what does it look like when you use this? When you

use this esottery? When I when I, when I do it, all of the LEDs that I have in my hair, around my waist, on my belt and then just like through my wings just start to glow really bright. Then my eyes glow the same color, and the light just sort of like emits to my fingers and then into like on her head. So it just becomes she has a migraine. It just becomes a bright light perfect.

I think what happens is you actually see a strange representation of Coralie's brain in light Okay, sort of scale outwards from her head and you can see like these points light up and instinctually you touch them and the pain goes away. It's like playing a mini game. That was really cool. Okay. Huh, oh man, you really do work miracles. How did you do that? Okay, now I'm freaked out this game. I shouldn't have You shouldn't be able to see take away my headache in real life. This isn't real

life. It's true, yeah, but I shouldn't have a headache here unless I was having a headache in real life. Hold on, I got this is now a good time for a joke. I just fingered you with magic. Huh. I had to. I had to, Okay, I had to. I had to say it. Someone had to say it. Yeah, we're in this like sort of off. We're in an anime, all right, we are the video game now. Yep, I go that I've worked magic twice. Guys, you didn't see the floating shit down below us

or the giant water monster thing. I mean, this is a game, like we can't take the things off. Been trying for a long time to take this thing off, and I can't feel shit. How long has it been? Shouldn't we be able to buy now? No? How long has it been since we started the game? Your playtime is approximately three hours? What was supposed to last? Again, that's what's the home It was all

day? Honestly. Oh it was all weekend, wasn't it. Yeah, Oh there's a weekend beta think that, like it was limited access, you know. Oh, if we're stuck here, we'll be here for only the weekend. Wow, okay, but what am I just gonna you know, like it's fine, I'm freaking out for no reason. I've got a table story show tonight. We can't be I don't think they're gonna Okay, here's the thing. Either they bring it back in the next couple of minutes or

hours or whatever, and then we're all fine, or they don't. And like everyone was saying earlier, people would have noticed the stream went down, Like they're not gonna have your show run without you there, you know what I mean? Yeah, Like you're either going to make it on time or they're going to cancel it. And we have bigger problems to think about,

because that means something's really wrong here. I mean, yeah, you have nobody nearby, right, so like, yeah, let's not think about that, right, Yeah, But I mean we're not like looking at my fingers while they're talking and like making them like glow. I'm just like here. But even if we did have people who could contact whoever, I don't know if they know how to get into where we are or how to get us out of where we are. I mean, this is a beta for a

reason. What if something went seriously wrong and they literally do not know how to fix it, and that's why it's not fixed yet. For comatox, what if like a zombie apocalypse happened to everyone, I r L and that's why, like we're dead. I r L and that's why we're trapped here. Why would we have a zombie apocalypse? I'm okay with that zombie apocalyps This is not a zombie Have you said it sponsors? What if it did malfunction and it sent an electrical charge and killed us and we're stuck here?

Episode yes, Oh my god, it's dark. As long as they don't have tax this year, I'm fine with that. Just we just don't die then, I mean, we're in a kingdom. You think they don't have tag just don't die forehead. That's fucking terrifying though. Actually, what I do know is that while we should be able to like feel general sensations, it's like the rumble pack, we shouldn't be having your magic shouldn't take away my headache. Yeah, you slapped me on the forehead and it hurt.

It may gave you a headache, right yeah? No, yeah, well it made it worse. Good. No, I I I'm I'm okay with this now, I'm i got wings, I glow and I can take away headaches. I got it made. I mean, that's a pretty shitty superpower, but it's it's something, you know, taken away. I can flip do the knife trick. This that's all I got. Totally not even hit a face that's like half the size of ours, just completely whi it. Yeah, there has to be like a fail safe kind of way to communicate

or quit the game in an emergency. Right. You can't just have it be reliant on one menu. There has to be some kind of like blow up the death star teeny tiny little button we can find in the game. I think there's there's got to be an objective in the game. We just got to beat the game, you know. It's like there is no way. Yeah, well no, but you said, like sword, are you got to get to the end of the tower. We gotta just you go,

you gotta defeat something. Maybe we gotta come like the Kings and Queens of the land and then we beat it. We're done right now, the tower. No, what's the objective of this game? Human Era the Ninth World is a virtual role play game. There is no objective. See said role play, virtual role play. I love that. I love that too, but not forever. It's said virtual role play, so we know it's still the game. Correct, correct, correct? Maybe we're all just dreaming.

Maybe our life is just a dream right now. This is all just a dream, Like we're gonna wake up in the morning and all meet up and I'm just dreaming right now. You know a simulation? Is there like a dev console? Oh my god, well, how do we access the dev console? Can we command? Not understood? Mm hmmm, that would have been good. M Yeah, I don't see the settings button. It's not working. You know where we're going? Yeah? Oh are we there yet? It's four hours? So yeah, in a while. It's a

it's a it's a trip. I missed my cats. Yeahlope, Penelope is my cat. What that's it's adorable you have a cat named Penelope? I do. That's really cute. I love torties. Yeah, she's ridiculous. She's she just she runs around. She's probably scratching at the door, but I wouldn't be able to hear it. Okay, okay, No, I have a question for you know it. Since we're going to be a while and uh, if I use a cipher, how do I get another one?

How do I get new cyphertains ciphers? Throughout the lends of New min Era the Ninth World, people have them. Okay. They're located in scattered locations through the Ninth World, and sometimes they manifest. Oh yeah, cipher's pretty cool. They're just kind of out and about. You find them anywhere. People could store them somewhere. They could have a storehouse of them. I guess that means we could find more when we land, right, Yeah,

you probably do. Probably buy some. If we find a settlement somewhere, they probably have a cipher shop or something. We just can't use more than our limit. We just can't have on us more than our limit. Oh okay, you can't have on us more. You can, you could use all three if you want, but then you can't use any more because you won't have them until you get more. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. It's sort of like you know, magic, You use it and

then you got to recoup it. I guess it's just actual items. Okay, okay, are you going to essentially just keep heading towards the town of Kepford. Yeah, okay, So about four hours or so pass and eventually in the distance you can see a I think most of you would understand that it's sort of a lumber town kind of place with a small port that's located

there. You can see like a few ships that would be like really weirdly shaped and kind of alien like sort of you know, like I think very you know how some of the ships look in like the exotic ships and No Man's Sky. They's sort of bulbous and strange looking. I think there's a lot of those kinds of ships that you see at the port. Do you land the travel bubble outside of town? Yes? Yeah. If is anybody sleeping or have we just been sitting silently for four hours or talking or I'm

still staring at my glowy fingers. Yeah, i'd be awake. I'd be just messing around with that pocket portal. There it is. I think we should probably land outside and walk in. What do you think? Yeah? Okay, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, Like, why don't we land on a roof of some building. We can get down just scope out the scene first, instead of just walking on in the front gates. That would be really weird. That would be way more suspicious, aren't

you didn't you say you're a rogue? Yeah, but imagine I'm not a rogue. No no, no, no kind of gamer gamer son' mercy, my bad. Sorry, But what if you lived in a city and then saw a giant soap bubble land on top of a building. People, Well, first of all, it's cloaked at the moment, thank you. Oh yeah. And second of all, if we're quiet and don't fall off the building, then it should be fine and we should be able to get down

in the alley or something. And I like that idea. Wait, we can still about the scene, Like, what if this is a bunch of like marauders or something and we're landing and we're just gonna walk right into them. I don't like a pirate town. That's a great idea, and we have a pirate, but she's not very good at being a pirate right now. I'm not I'm not technically a pirate. I'm just I'm just pirate. Fall off the rock, we get it. Yeah, let's put it that

way, like the rogue. Like a rogue, like I will navigate our cloaked butts into the town. Okay, And that's a good place for us to end the session today. Oh holy ship, I was here for this fucking cool y'all. Oh my god, its yeah. Job whack. I was problem, no problem, a problem, Good job, everybody. I was so fucked up. Good job. I told you. I warned all the players beforehand. Warned. I warned all the players beforehand. I made sure that they knew kind of what they were getting into before get it in

a really good way. You were just kind of all you said, really was it's gonna get really personal, is what you said to me, Like it's gonna get really weird. But you didn't explain like how fucked up it was gonna be like that. So it's great. Yeah, it's fantastic. It's great. I love it. I'm totally here for it. The chat role playing along, it was really good. Chat, Thank you, thank you. It was so good. It was it was really great. Thank

you so much. Chat was too surreal at some point it was too surreal. Is that which when you stop believing in it, it does not go away.
