As is, it is probably the most important document ever written. lt's contents, the firsthand account of "The Dispersal" as written by The Breath of the Universe or as we now have come to know him, Zephyros.

[IC] ANKL. Part I: Awakening
Raindrop Valkyrie replied to Takosher's topic in Unofficial Official RP Club's General
Kaede Speaking of paying attention Kaede wondered if the others had even noticed the time for them to get their schedules had arrived. They should set out soon. She wasn't sure how quickly this issue would resolve itself however. Their leader didn't seem to be the complying type, having basically blown off Alva entirely with her tone. Kaede would be surprised if she'd ever managed any progress. The smaller girl, certainly would be of no help either shaking like a leaf as she was. So, rather than go down with the sinking ship or get pulled down in the undertow, she'd get free beforehand. The -

Kaede "Hmmm, went about as well as expected. l wonder how long she will persist? l'd probably stop bashing my head into a brick wall as soon as it started bleeding but... l wonder if this girl knows it is a brick wall she has come up against." Kaede was correct, she'd hear the failure. She wasn't expecting much of a positive result of this,but she'd not truly be surprised whatever happened. Kaede was used to human nature at this point. They'd tend to stand their ground unless something would cause them to break down on that position. A good, a service, just what they wanted to hear, etc. On -

Kaede "hmmm, so she's going to speak up huh? A fruitless endeavor. Honestly should just leave the girl get in trouble on her own, the problem deals with itself, little lamb." Kaede thought to herself seeing the other girl begin to confront their so called "leader". lt wasn't worth expending the energy on. Kaede would keep to her schedule and tasks perfectly, she always did. She wasn't one to be late, not out of any feeling of obligation however. More due to the lack of involvement usually given to the subject at hand. She never felt attachment to anything she was doing so she could ea -
Tfw you find that game that goes to the top of your favourite game list just... immediately. lt's such a wonderful feeling.~

Kaede Kaede didn't pay any mind to the ongoing rowdiness in the cabin. Her leader being a terrible one would only cause issues for her, so Kaede couldn't really muster up a care in the world about it. The noise didn't really annoy her either, it was loud yes but she could still focus on her task at hand so it was no bother. Let children be children she thought to herself. Unpacking was rather quick for Kaede, as she had no true personal effects with her. She brought nothing with which to entertain herself with. lnstead she just sat on her bed, pondering things to herself. ln a way one could -
Chance smiled faintly at the man's remark. However the worry of hiding her ability still weighed on her. A few more of those fighting were injured, they were going to find out eventually. She took a deep breath and centered herself. She wasn't going to hide it anymore. lf they found out, so be it. She had to help them, she had to... help herself get out of this place. Her desire to be free... lt was greater than the pain she felt using it. She ran up after one of the others she wasn't sure of his name. She'd only really caught Doran's in their previous encounter in the old dusty armoury. Sh

The shards glint, the sterile white light shining off their jagged edges. They lie on the floor, stained red by deeds far past. They glitter in the false light, beautiful even in their brokenness.
Perhaps they could be once more together once more. Their beauty would change however. lt would never be the same as it was before they shattered. However, that'd be okay.

"l will dance in shadowed places; Where the flitting light cast from the tongue of flame does not find. Where naught, even the sun, can find me.

Hmmm, tough crowd. Guess l'll go all on my lonesome then. l'll have a party of my own. No l won't. l hate parties. The warrior thought to herself. She was certainly not feeling up to a party. She wanted some time to herself or at least, herself and a few folks she was more familiar with. However she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She jolted, almost crying out however she managed to keep quiet. She quickly figured out who it was by the voice. She felt a shiver down her spine as the fiery mage whispered in her ear. She... wasn't sure why. The experience made her heart race ever so sli

"l'll pass on that one." Meredith said without any hesitation. She wasn't really going to beat around the bush on this one. She didn't boil alive in her armour to go to a political meeting. She could lead troops no problem, but this was not a battlefield and Meredith wasn't much use away from one. She'd only ever been a soldier. Not exactly one fit for such an affair. Besides she had... much more pressing matters. "Ya got Thunder Blunder, he's probably good at this whole talky talky thing and he's from this accursed desert. At least it's not, that heat was... Never again, Hopefully..." She

And once more l begin my dark endeavor. Opening the vast dark oceans that is that of my mind. l'll shall dredge forth yet another world from it depths. lt won't be perfect... lt won't be complete. But it will do for the purpose.
Once more l stray into madness. Once more the floodgates open. Blood pours on paper, the sanguine delight of writing. lt has been awhile, but oh... it shall be worth it. -
"Look... you just find me a nice cool bath, that's all l'm asking for. An Oasis, something! l can't take this damned heat any more. l feel like l'm cooking in this tin can. So, less yappin' more gettin' on our way somewhere safe. Cause by the goddess l don't want to have to wear this armour any longer then necessary." The warrior huffed loudly at all the conversation. She was going stir crazy at this point. Mostly... the sandstorm and this... gentleman showing up out of thin air piling on top of all the other little frustrations. Unfortunately for him he was the straw that broke the camel's ba

Chance laughed before realizing her hand was still hovering on Doran's chest. She tried to not snap it back out of the revelation. "No no. l don't think such a look would fit you. You do the rugged handsome type much better. Besides, there's much more romantic things than knights sometimes, you know?~" She felt the energy from something wash over her, warm and energizing. That's when she heard their new ally address her. A nervous laugh escaped her she didn't like this notice. lt would make hiding her abilities harder if people were looking at her. She slightly tilted her head as t

"Easy for you to say Firecracker~ But l need assistance ta remove mine which l'm certain you're aware of. lt'd take too long to remove and certainly, that'd be an issue if we run into any more trouble like that one." she said lazily pointing her spear towards the body of The Cloudbreaker. She stretched her arm back and let out a sigh,a release of the weariness in her body and some frustration at the current circumstances. "l should've had them make it another colour though. l never thought l'd be fighting in these damned deserts. And now l get to boil alive. Remind me the next time ta order

Meredith took a moment to revel in the warm sanguine bath that was her reward. She rejoiced in the gift that battle lavished in her. The feel of the scarlet liquid on her skin was one she enjoyed. Especially after dealing with such a nuisance as that. However, she'd not have an eternity to bask in it. "AHHHHHHHHHHH! Can we catch a break any time today?" Meredith huffed. She was getting really sick of this damn desert. The sooner they were out of this blistering hot, sand-filled hell...the better.

"Heh... HEHEHEHEHEH! That's all ya got? Seriously? You really are all bark no bite." The warrior laughed at the laughable attempt to fell her. Meredith took a deep breath to center herself. The heat was getting to her and she was losing it somewhat. But... this was too funny. The Great Cloudbreaker, naught but a baying hound. lt was almost sad. She had no sympathy for Dragaons that still fought under that demon of a king however. "l'll commend ya for surviving that last one. But, Missy, lt's really past your bedtime, and l have a bath ta enjoy." Move to A9 and put her to sleep for good, lr
-
"Would ya kindly... just shut up and die already?" The warrior woman sighed. All that was standing between her and a nice bath was this terrible cliche spouting whatever it was, because she'd not accepted that she had lost. Meredith sighed at the annoyance elemental in front of her before reeling back to unleash another javelin. "lt's time to sleep little Cloudbreaker, The Undying has come to tuck you into bed. However, brats like you don't get a good night kiss." Move to A10, hold hands with Serene... *ahem* uh... l mean uh... throw Javelin of Doom at the spoiled brat Louise.

The dual class HS arena thing going on at the moment really highlights kinda why l'm not a big fan of factions/classes in CCGs.
Having a bunch of cards that are only ever allowed to interact with a certain subset of cards really limits the game especially when it comes to deckbuilding.
lf you go with one faction your just entirely lock out of some playstyles arbitrarily by the whim of what's printed in those factions or classes in the name of "class identity."
Yet... Magic has no problem with the colours each having their own distinct identities and their own feel. But As there is nothing in the game that says "you must play blue and only blue" you can just find some many new combos and ways to contrust a deck cause there isn't that kind of a limiter.
Dunno, l guess l understand why people like having things like but but lt honestly feels rather limiting to me from a gameplay standpoint and l find just so much less space to explore, express myself etc... in the game. lt honestly might be why HS and similar games with factions and classes are so easily netdeckable cause the viable decks etc are just found so quickly as there's nowhere for them to hide.
K, rant done~-
lt's less about there being a lot of archetypes and more that l like to tinker and doctor stuff. l like experimenting and trying to do more interesting things to some extent.
Note, the deck l played for the most part in HS... was Evolve Shaman which for the longest time was just janky silliness l cobbled together cause l thought Evolve was a super fun silly card. ((befoer it was wrapped into jsut general mid-rangey shamans.))
There just feels like so much less room to express yourself in those kinds of games cause classes so so... beholden to their "class indenties" and the combos and synergies the game designers say we're allowed to use. One can't jam any card into any deck lol.
Like... l don't like that kind of enforcing. lt just feels lame and like we don't get to find cool things within the game. Things feel so much more surface level and a lot of mystery just doesn't exist or that it's not as deep in any case. Hmmm, l dunno. lt just strikes me so much cause it does sorta actively diminish my enjoyment of something. -
As far as I'm concerned I don't really mind playstyles and archetypes being the trademarks of a specific class each. But I do agree that there's at least one problem with classes as they currently are in HS: balancing. It's excessively difficult to make all classes worth playing to the same extent. At some point Shaman used to be so powerful, recently it has been Druid, Paladin and Priest have powerful options as well... and on the other hand Warlock is not particularly strong. Don't get me wrong, it's ofc still possible to do well with Warlock. Heck my best friend is a lot better than me and her fav class is Warlock. But there are some balance issues that I don't remember seeing between colors in MTG (that said I haven't touched anything MTG related in years).
-
Ye in a sense, lt helps in magic that you can make up for your colours weaknesses by dragging in other colours that make up for them. Say you need removal, get Black.
Being able to mix and match cards for different core factions or themes l feel is what can make balancing less of a chore by allowing such things because those factions can still have their identities, but you can compliment them with cards from another.Anyway, l don't mean to say that it's something conceptually l'm at odds with, l'm cool with it there. l get boiling things down to such things and that some players enjoy being able to more closely identify like that. Hell it still happens in Magic even. People will still find their fav colour and even if they play decks with colour pairs they will still probably refer to themselves as "a Blue Player" etc... Though Ravnica and ones that have named colour pairs have made people identify with those as well. Just from game design it feels... problematic.
((also as a note, l'm just like your friend to some degree. l was the dude playing Shaman in HS when it was utter trash garbage. Before the Tunnel Troggening and aggro shaman was runnin' amok.)) - Show next comments 30 more

"Oooh, my hero~" followed with the melodramatic swooning expected after such a statement, Chance smiled. One wasn't sure if she was being serious or messing around. "Such a romantic thing, protecting a helpless lady. You're not exactly a knight in shining armour... but l'll take it~ l'm just a simple maid after all." she noticed that he was still looking rather rough from his tumble earlier. Her magic mustn't have worked quite as well as she thought. Maybe it was due to her hesitation. She would have to make it right, though he'd probably catch on to her little secret this time. She was still
