Babar and fFather Christmas

That's awesome. The minor details like the arrows and fingers look great and make it pop.

I'd love to try a sci-fi setting if possible, or maybe more with the option of sci-fantasy.

Alright so I just looked up what a jester is, and the jester has a win-state only if they are lynched. Was that was he was doing, actually being honest and lying about scum to get the win condition? Even if he is a jester, we wouldn't know at the time of his lynch, or even the day after, right?

Wait wait wait, hang on what? So what exactly was Finn playing at towards the end there? Was it just an elaborate ruse? But for what reason? I am utterly confused and lost right now.

Same for Kiray, I couldn't add on/finish what WBD has done. Well, for everything everyone has added to this game, thank you. As for the Heroica 2.0 everyone has talked about, while I feel everyone needs a bit of a break, I do want to say I think a major improvement from Heroica to Heroica 2.0 needs to be builds; I'm not meaning QM builds. I want everyone, from PCs to NPCs/QMs to build stuff, almost similar to the BoBS/Historica/War one in Specials. But that is another conversation for awhile from now.

@Waterbrick Down First, I want to give a huge THANK YOU for hosting this monster of a final quest. A year long quest (and while many quests towards the end were long and close to a year), you did it in a year and had the dozens of player characters, NPCs, battles, etc to juggle. So for that, as I've said, thank you, but also incredibly good job. You made a whole world that came from the minds of hundreds of people and lore come together in a satisfying way for everyone (I'm only speaking for myself, but I think everyone is happy). You are as instumental as @Sandy to make this game happen. If anyone was to be nominated for a Henry, it's you. Second, thank you for your comments on Kiray. Quick (or possibly not) digression: I started this game maybe a year or two after it started. I was kind of a member of Historica, and @Capt.JohnPaul (seriously, I texted you for about the ending multiple times and you never showed up? I'm seeing you this week, Alexandre/Leufwein!) invited me to join. I was unsure of what it was, thinking it was a different version of Historica. Eventually I joined, finding it much more of DnD (which I was glad about), but I was so busy with high school I didn't join until I was about to finish. I had my first quest with Sandy, and then I disappeared (very mini dark ages) for a bit before coming back, and I'm so glad I came back. I mean, I was checking EB every day during the mini dark age, and I was still an AFOL, but I just couldn't get into Heroica, or anything. I was just building LEGO on my floor and making my own stories when I came home from school. I wasn't getting into the community, I was stressed, dealing with cyberbullies, etc. While #66 was Kiray's first quest (and thank you Sandy!), I really do consider @Flipz's ACE ASSASINS to be Kiray's true first quest, especially because as soon as Kiray went questing, she really didn't stop, and that quest was the catalyst for Kiray's story towards the end. When I started, Kiray came to Heroica looking for her former lover, who I planned to be my second character after my five hostings/whatever the ruling was, and he would have been shapeshifted into another race/creature, and they would never know until the ending. While a bit sad I left off that storyline, I'm really happy how Kiray ended up thanks to how interesting of a character Diana was. I never expected for Kiray to be in love with Diana, but it happened. Kiray is bi (or at least the character evolved to that, and this isn't meaning to start a discussion on attraction, politics, etc). But wow, as similar in mentality and personality/morals Kiray is to me, wow she changed up a lot, and honestly, I felt she was inconsistent at times, partially to me going through my own RL mentalities and issues that unfortunately popped into the game (I could probably point them out if we did a post-by-post-replay). Also, I want to apologize to everyone for how I dropped out a bit during #159. Some was due to real life, some was due to the game. Real life: I had a fantastic job I loved and was doing well in, was laid off for budget, was hired at a new place, and then I quit for mental health because the new place was hell on earth, and unfortunately the stress of everything leaked over to where I would check the threads but just couldn't will myself to participate. The in-game reasons are because the game became so complex (if you ever saw me run a battle you understand why, my math is atrocious), and the lore was so difficult to follow at times (I should have read the wiki), I just couldn't keep up, and to be honest, without Diana, Aceton, Siercon, or a few others, Kiray really didn't have any skin in the game. So for that, I'm sorry I didn't participate as much and dropped off. Once Diana (and Ulric in the beginning) showed up (for real), my goal was to finish that, be it a happy ending for the two of them or not. So again, thank you to everyone for this amazing journey. I hope everyone still sticks around EB (I know I will), and I hope we can do a Heroica 2.0 (my thoughts for that will follow below at the way bottom) Characters are mainly that Kiray interacted with or I hosted (and I know I'm missing a few): Arthur Justus Regulus VII Ziegfried (Flipz) - Arthur was always great. You were in my first quest (66), and while we didn;t interact much, I do remember it was fun, partially because you played Arthur so well. On the questing side, there's not much more that needs to be said, especially for the Kiray/Diana arc. I so wish you could have done the quest you outlined some time ago with Diana coming back, but her returning was good enough for me You are a phenomenal roleplayer and made quests fun (both when playing and QMing). If there's a Heroica 2.0, dear lord I hope you're there. Karie Alderflask-Cour/Annie (Kintober) - I mainly DM'd Annie, and while I wish she had a more important role in #159, at least saying hi or something, I'm glad you played her, and she was cer Lord Lawrence Boomingham (Zepher) - Like Arthur/Flipz, we quested together on 66. I also QMed for Bobby on #110 (maybe another). You always were participating, and Boomingham was/is a great character. Clearly your storytelling talents have shown through with him. Monk Pretzel/Petaldan Parfenius (Palathadric) - Monk and Kiray quested a few times, and I'm really glad Monk was such a moral figure. Monk always seemed strong and the voice of reason. QMing for Petaldan, he was such a joy to watch grow. Vindsval Half-Born (Asphalt) - I'm just going to come out and say it: Vindsval is my favorite character. You were so dedicated to everything about this character. This is partially because you were in all but one of the quests I hosted. You have always been up to RP, and you even QM'd a Fields run if I'm not mistaken. You absolutely are one of the best. My epilogue for Vindsval is Luke coming to Eubric wanting to be a Hero like the person he looks up to, Vindsval. As soon as he finds Eubric in shambles and Vindsval a Veteran, all the half-giant says is something like "You don't need to be a Hero to be good" or something. Honestly, Vindsval made me want to be a better person. No matter what was thrown at him, he stayed the course. Bravo! The Demon Germ (samurai-turtle) - As WBD said, you were difficult to relate to/quest with. But by god you became an important part of Heroica and I wouldn't have it any other way. I know Kiray and Germ butted heads, both due to the RP and possibly our own personalities, but I'm glad you stuck along until the end. When/If there is a Heroica 2.0, I fully expect Germ 2.0 to be there.

Amazing job! The gatehouse build terrain really reminds me of the pre-fab baseplate from who knows how long ago. It's like a brickhuilt version of it, and it's a great update.

Very cool! As others have said the shutters are great. Also, I love the roof technique, I've never seen it before.

I like it! I agree, the X-wing looks really good. What did you use for the interior lights?

No worries. I generally used to keep the browser open to the day thread of a game open all the time so I would know and be able to look at it and keep up (whenever I wasn't at work).

@Lady K do you think scum would go after Wonder Woman now after today?

For the past day I've been going against Wonder Woman (even voted for her lynch yesterday). While scum are known to split up and even target each other, this would be a risky move for two scum to be at each others throats and then seemingly make up.

Unvote: Wonder Woman (Forresto) Vote: Finn (Foreman) Yeah, the vote makes me look vengeful, I know. That really doesn't help the town and more to the aid of scum. Revealing the block will jeopardize the entire town. I'm starting to think Wonder Woman is a neutral at worst. If Wonder Woman is a town PR, she's probably reaching out to who she trusts in the block, and the information is safer that way.

Wut? At this point, you know what I'm agreeing with you. Not sure if Finn is just inexperienced (I mean, he is a stormtrooper after all) or calling things out to a vigilante or trying to be a scum recruit? The reason I'm keeping my vote on you is that we need a lynch, we can't go two days without one.

To be fair to Wonder Woman, she could easily be a neutral who has to survive to the end or vanilla townie.

I welcome the criticism, I just think there's not enough for Ellie, and your miller idea made little sense.

I'm not totally convinced on Ellie yet. I'm going to... Vote: Wonderwoman (forresto) Mainly for that idea a vanilla townie claimed miller.

No, I'm certainly not trying to put the blame on you/suspecting you, just saying people RP in these games.

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time. Also to add on tho this, my first game I went really into the RP and played a stuttering cop, which I just made up the stutter and doomed me. Just because someone play's a different way (or at least role plays a different character) is no mean to target them.

The Joker being reasonable? Strangely out of character for you In all seriousness, I agree with this, as I mentioned earlier there's sure to be some scum hiding in the Hera vote.

As others have mentioned, Day 1 votes are really go get the ball rolling, and that's what I did for mine (although seriously, who likes Fanta?). I do think the push for Hera has some scum members in it, although part of me wonders if that's just too obvious for scum to hide.

Ah ok cool. I was pretty sure no outright clues, but after the talk of Bob yesterday, I wanted to be clear.

Well crap, poor Lego-less Legolas. Although is usually to be expected with a Day 1 kill. I would like to think that was a scum kill and not the vig. Also, i can't remember if in recent games character shown but that weren't killed: were they targeted in the night? I'm pretty sure in some very old games it meant they were, but I think in recent ones it's just random things for fun. The only reason I'm saying that is because Bob/Superman had some detractors yesterday.

I usually love political stuff, but since Kiray really has no skin in the game, there's not much for her to do. I think moving the game to another site would be disastrous. I've seen other websites that do something similar, and it's horrible for the userbase. Ehile EB certainly has seemed to taken a lull, there's a lot of active accounts and games going on. I think everyone is just burnt out.
