Deedeequest or The Wonders of Mundus: Be Careful Who You Pretend To Be - A Genderous Isekai Quest

[Talia B]

Character sheet is here.

Dice rolls are 1d10 + Stat + Proficiency + any applicable bonuses, such as Boons.

You may spend 3 Tension to Overdrive for a retroactive +5 to your roll (a Determination Overdrive), or +3 to an ally's roll (a Teamwork Overdrive). I will also automatically overdrive to avoid exhaustion or unconsciousness.

It is possible to critically succeed (on +5 on skill checks and +10 on combat rolls) or critically fail (by the same margins), but rolling a 1 or a 10 does not automatically crit in either case. It is possible to crit retroactively by Overdriving.

Your stat bonuses have names:

• Vigor grants a Strength bonus.
• Agility grants a Dexterity bonus.
• Spirit grants an Aura bonus.
• Mind grants an Intuition bonus.
• Resolve grants a Guts bonus.

Dice are rolled on a first come, first serve bonus. You only roll for Deedee.

Ughh. Update may be late, like tomorrow or something, because vakseen is in fact kicking my ass.

I do have the energy to answer questions as per standard terms.

(also "turing complete" is probably the wrong technobabble for "these aren't your momma's AI" but I don't know what to use instead.)

  [X] With the thought towards protecting as many of the farmers as we can, work with the captain to set up a counter-attack.

I know I've heard a few terms thrown around but the only one that springs to mind right now is Eclipse Phases acronym AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) for human like AIs would that be better?

 

[Talia B]

It's a good thought, anyway.

Actually now I think about it how much ability to self modify do the TCAI have?

I don't know enough to answer this at the moment and suspect if I did it would be spoilers, so I'll put a pin in this.

Honestly, knowing their creator, I feel like she was groping around for a new, cool name for her new cool thing when she was filing her paperwork for the patent and that was the best she could do in the moment. And then it stuck.

To be fair, "passes the Turing test, yes, even the hard kind" seems like a perfectly reasonable meaning for the phrase "Turing complete" if it wasn't for that other, unrelated meaning.

If you wanted your technobabble to dodge that, all you'd need to do is pick another C word with the same sort of feeling. Turing-Capable, maybe?

 

[Fabricati]

well, not like DD knows any of this, but still,

indeed, let's avoid aiming with our eyes. There's clearly a lot we don't know yet.

If I'm not able to update tomorrow, I will probably do so on Tuesday to get back onto my planned schedule.

I'll see what I can do for y'all in the meantime.

I'm not happy with how badly this seems to have affected me, the arm where I got the shot sometimes likes to pretend it's on fire.

I figure that if the vax gives me mild covid symptoms that I'm really glad to have this protection. I have waffles with real maple, I'll live.

I'm still willing to do an IC AMA for the OWTB founders, like I joked about.

 

[GrayGriffin]

When would this AMA be taking place? I'm definitely into the idea either way of course.

Talia would have to okay me doing it first before we'd talk about that.

Are you speaking in code or did I miss some top grade thread madness?

I'm referring to a thing I talked about to Talia about in our discord DM. Also in this case, IC=in character and AMA=ask me anything (a kind of post people do on reddit.)

And the Other World Tourism Bureau is the increasingly unfortunate name for the computer game company that made Another World Online. (And a lot of other immersive VR experiences before that, hence the name.)

Yes. That.

Nice to see that gag alive and well everywhere. And the Tourism Board... oh man, never the kind of name you want when people are getting trapped in your game...

Hey, tiddy sliders attract memelords and the horny. They do need money to fund that AGI research, you know.

This is the true purpose of a female Koboldt's nippleless monotit.

Even if the forums insist that it's where fire breath is stored.

Okay. Will write things up tomorrow as promised. I'm finally halfway coherent.

The sad thing is that this was better recovery time than the first science stab but hey - now I have intrinsic Virus resist. Very handy.
