Magical Girl CYOA Supplementary Combat System V1.7 Order Magical Girl CYOA Supplementary Combat System v1.7 Order & Chaos, Friend & Foe PDF For use with QuasarBlack’s MGCYOA v1.5.1 and the SCS v1.7 Created by DarkSunDuelist, with help from a number of IRC and Discord regulars, anons on /tg/ and /a/, and a couple of IRL people. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with the MGCYOA SCS v1.5.1 PDF. If you don’t have that, then the contents of this PDF will likely make little sense. Make sure you have an applicable character in the SCS before continuing. In this expansion, you will find the following: Info on adapting Patrons for SCS play. New mechanical dynamics for players with one or more Patrons. An introduction to the Corruption, Stability, Sync Rate, and Rapport mechanics. Features that allow you to create and customize Monster Girls and Dark Magical Girls using the Black Coin. Features that allow you to create and customize natural Monster Girls. An introduction to the Fusion mechanic for unmodified magical girls. A bestiary of monsters and enemies for quest use, as well as their (suggested) associated rewards. Mechanics and Narrative While the SCS does not intend to dictate the narrative aspects of a player’s character, some of the customization options present within this document can serve to influence or outright define characteristics such as body, mind, or attitude. Generally, these are to be considered guidelines provided the mechanical aspect is fulfilled correctly. The mechanics in this PDF are meant to be used in conjunction with the features within the Patron Expansion to the CYOA v1.5.1. In the case of a conflict between this PDF and that one, assume that the SCS mechanics listed in this PDF are correct within the context of combat, and that the Patron Expansion is correct in all narrative matters. Patrons Patrons are an outside force that guides and/or empowers magical girls to perform tasks. From the loner skating the Overcity streets for her Puchuu’s favorite candy, to the devout Beacon girl purging monsters from the world, each girl’s Patron serves and is served differently. Generally, Patrons will act in a “hands-off” manner, refusing to directly intervene in a quest, mission, or other task. Instead, they serve to direct the girls they are charged with in the direction of places of interest. [v1.7] MG CYOA Supplementary Combat System OCFF Expansion P a g e | 1 Rapport The relationship with a Patron is an important one. Build up trust and the Patron will generally be more helpful. Screw up and the Patron will lose interest in you and your well-being. The relationship between Patron and Magical Girl is represented with the Rapport stat. Rapport is a percentage value that indicates the level of trust you and your Patron have for each other. By default, a Patron’s Rapport starts at 30%, but this can be increased and decreased through performing tasks related to your Patron’s agenda, as well as roleplaying. Rapport cannot be increased above 100% and cannot be lower than 0%. Patron Scan During combat, a character can use the Inherent (Speed) ability Patron Scan by using 2 Movement Steps. Patron Scan allows a character to receive info about a Target from their Patron.1 The quality of this info will vary based on the Patron and your Rapport with that Patron, as well as the type of foe being scanned. TIP: If you question the validity of the info you receive, you can request an ally under a different Patron to use their own Patron Scan, and compare notes in-character. This allows you to figure out what’s bogus and what’s likely true. However, keep in mind that their info might also be incorrect in places. The Puchuu Patron Scan Rapport The Puchuu rarely give any and all info that they In general, Puchuu want magical girls to go forth should. When you use a Puchuu Patron Scan, roll and defeat Monsters and Monster Girls. They 1d4. You receive info on the Target based on the don’t particularly care about much else beyond result(s) of the roll(s). For every 25% Rapport you that, although they may have secondary agendas have with Puchuu, roll an additional 1d4. If you involving other Puchuu, magical girls, or even roll a duplicate value, that roll is considered monsters themselves. useless.

  • On Defining the Category MONSTER
    On defining the category MONSTER – using definitional features, narrative categories and Idealized Cognitive Models (ICM’s) Piet Swanepoel Department of Afrikaans & Theory of Literature (Unisa) This paper explores how the coherence between a lexical item which denotes a category and the lexical items that refer to individual members of the category can be expressed in explanatory dictionaries. A detailed analysis is provided of the relationship between the lexical item monster (which refers to a category) and the lexical items that refer to individual members of this category (e.g., Cyclops, dragon, mermaid, vampire, werewolf, Dracula, and zombie). More specifically, the goal of the paper is to determine whether the semantic explanation(s) for monster could function as a dictionary internal (as opposed to Fillmore’s (2003) external) cognitive frame for the other lexical items in the monster set. If not, the question is whether and how the field of monsterology could assist one in designing such a frame and what the content, structure and function of such a frame would be. In Section 2.1 the focus falls on current lexicographic practices and problems in defining the category monster and its members. The dictionary entries for monster and those of a number of its members in a selection of English explanatory dictionaries are surveyed to determine what cognitive models of the category monster underlie these definitions. In Section 2.2 the focus falls on the definitional features, ICM’S and narrative structures used to define the category of the monster in the field of monsterology and on the numerous meanings monsters may have as symbolic expressions (metaphors in particular).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Fairy Tales for Adults: Imagination, Literary Autonomy, and Modern Chinese Martial Arts Fiction, 1895-1945 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Lujing Ma Eisenman 2016 © Copyright by Lujing Ma Eisenman 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Fairy Tales for Adults: Imagination, Literary Autonomy, and Modern Chinese Martial Arts Fiction, 1895-1945 By Lujing Ma Eisenman Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Theodore D Huters, Chair This dissertation examines the emergence and development of modern Chinese martial arts fiction during the first half of the twentieth century and argues for the literary autonomy it manifested. It engages in the studies of modern Chinese literature and culture from three perspectives. First, approaching martial arts fiction as a literary subgenre, it partakes in the genre studies of martial arts fiction and through investigating major writers and their works explains how the genre was written, received, reflected, and innovated during the period in question. Second, positioning martial arts fiction as one of the most well received literary subgenre in the modern Chinese literary field, it discusses the “great divide” between “pure” and “popular” literatures and the question of how to evaluate popular literature in modern China. Through a series of textual analysis contextualized in the lineage of martial arts fiction, it offers insight into ii how the ideals of so-called “pure” and “popular” literatures were interwoven in the process of reviewing and re-creating the genre.

  • Boss Monster Detailed Play Sequence.Docx
    Greetings, Boss Monsters! If you’re eager to slay adventurers and build dungeons in Boss Monster, but the basic rulebook left you with some questions, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re looking to clarify a particular rule or delve into all the details, these rules expand upon what’s covered in the Boss Monster rulebook. In our experience, here are the top five rules clarifications requested by advanced gamers after an introductory session of Boss Monster: Treasure Type Matters, But Only For Advanced Rooms: You must build an Advanced Room on an ordinary or Advanced Room that matches its treasure type. Room subtype (Trap or Monster) does not need to match. You may build an ordinary Room adjacent to your dungeon entrance (if you have less than five visible Rooms in play) or on top of any other Room. You can always play an ordinary Room over another Room of any type, regardless of treasure type or room subtype. Destroyed Rooms Uncover What’s Beneath: When a Room is destroyed, the Room underneath it is uncovered and comes into play. This does not trigger "when you build this Room" effects from the uncovered Room. If a Hero is in a Room when it is destroyed, that Hero immediately exits the Room and (if it survives) moves to the next Room. (Damage and abilities of the Room underneath the destroyed Room do not affect the Hero exiting the Room.) If there is no Room underneath the revealed Room, the "hole" created by the destroyed Room immediately closes and any Rooms to the left of the destroyed Room slide to the right.
