          Yeah, honestly I'd have there be only a few different types of grist- maybe Build Grist plus two grist types per player/world? Maybe a high-level type of grist as well. Or Artifact Grist if you've got players who want to play that way.

            Nta, that sounds too few? Idk. Maybe just abstract it as tiers of grist instead of individual kinds. So you would need x tier y grist to make something instead of X build and Y tar or something.
            My idea is tie the available tiers of grist to gate progression. So right outside your house you can only get tier 0 (i.e. build) and occasional tier 1 grist (shale or something) but if you go through your 3rd gate you have access to tier 1-4 grist in various quantities. And that way item progression is tied to world progression.

              >item progression is tied to world progression
              i like this. mostly because it means progress in one land means progress in all of them.
              a group going all in on one land so they can steamroll the earlier tiers of the other lands seems like the kind of minmaxing you'd get from a videogame.
              so, peak homestuck meta frickery.
              if you wanted to stop a group from focusing on one land only, make sure to put events on each land that need to be solved in a reasonable timeframe, or else will cause serious problems.

              I mean that's already 10 types of grist for a normal-sized party. How many do you think there should be?

              I'm not sure I'd want to abstract them- that seems way too sterile. Having land-based types of grist adds color to the world.

              Example for canon:
              >everyone has access to Build Grist
              >when John enters his low level grist is shale and his high level one is... tar, sure, we'll go with that
              >Rose has chalk and marble
              >Dave has rust and garnet?
              >Jade only has one canonically (uranium) but for this example her lower-level one can be cobalt and higher-level one can be uranium
              >everyone has access to diamond
              So when John enters, at that point there is only four types of grist: build, shale, tar, and diamond. Everything he fights will give those. Once Rose enters the game will add Chalk and Marble. Those will come from enemies mostly found on LOLAR but might occasionally appear in other lands. Likewise Dave and Jade.
              To get other types of grist you can either use things like Gristtorrent (which I can only imagine either acts very slowly or only sends some grist) or go through your 2nd gate.

              Sort of similar to what you're saying about tiering them, but less explicitly.

      Those which bear this mythological role can {Steal} [Life], {Steal} through [Life], and be {Stolen} by [Life]. Additionally - regardless of the user's intention - these expressions typically tend to serve others before the user.
      The literal force governed by the [Life] aspect is Biology.
      The abstract force governed by the [Life] aspect is Vitality.
      This Classpect's primary function is the redistribution of health and biological attributes - siphoning stamina, strength, and resilience from one target and imbuing it into others. Additionally, this Classpect may be able to appropriate things from others through the process of living. Of course, due to the team-orientated nature of the Rogue class, anything taken will tend to find itself being invested into others rather than being used to enrich the Rogue themselves. Finally, this role may be captivated, enthused or otherwise deeply fond by their own existence, or by existence in general - they are quite taken with the subtle beauties and humble mundanity of life.

                What's funny is that Equius not getting any screentime lines up perfectly with his class, the Heir of Void.

                If you had an Heir of Void player in an actual TTRPG session of Sburb, he'd be the guy who's always no-showing, except every time he does show up it's extremely important and plot relevant. And IC and OOC his absence lines up perfectly with each other - so on days where his character isn't needed, he just doesn't show up at all, but he somehow always catches the sessions when it's important by sheer coincidence.

            Rage is also the Aspect that deals with religion in Sburb.

            So a Rogue of Rage could literally strip someone of the very faith that empowers them - whatever that could be.
            You'd have the ability to instantly make a Cleric lose all of their spells and effects, and they couldn't do anything about it. A God Tiered Rogue of Rage could rip away the faith of entire nations, and give your own party the power you stole.

        Some people might disagree, but Rage is a more complex aspect than it seems. It's not just the emotion of anger, though that is an important part. Rage is, perhaps ironically, one of the two most metaphysical aspects. Here's the tl;dr if you don't want a lengthy explanation: Rage represents the restriction of opportunity, but also the power of focus. It's the fury that fills you and forces you to punch a bastard in the face, but also stops you from hesitating and let's you put your all into it.

        In order to give a decent description of Rage, it helps to give a brief description of its inverse aspect, Hope. Hope represents the metaphysical concept of opportunity. To be full of Hope is to be able to impose your will upon Paradox Space however you'd like — it means having a bright future where you can do or be whatever you want. Rage is the inverse of that; a person full of rage has little to no control over their actions. They can't decide their future for better or worse, pushed forwards like a horse wearing blinders.

        To elaborate on what this means: A Rogue of Rage could take Rage from their enemies and give it to their allies, taking opportunities to strike from the bad guys and restricting allies to only make the best possible moves. Kind of like an RTS game, maybe.

          Okay now that sounds pretty cool, I can imagine a lot of 'happens' occuring just from the mere prescence of this classpect which is also quite amusing to me - I've heard some other people discussing that 'Rage' as an aspect pertains to a whole range of negative emotions, not only anger - and also seems to include the rejection of normalcy in the pursuit of truth.

          I could imagine my classpect being capable of sowing disorder in enemy ranks perhaps, by way of re-distributing the negative emotions of my own comerades or something. Really makes me appreciate how broad and varied this system can be for interpreting things as well as what powers could be derived from it.

          (Also if I've misinterpreted something here please feel free to respond with that more lengthy explanation, I'm really quite interested in this as a power system)

            Yeah, I would say that it makes a lot of sense to associate rage with other negative emotions, as long as you keep that core through line of limitation to keep the thematic value intact. If you want to dive deep into the old Homestuck classpect theorizing stuff, if only so you can use it for your own ideas moving forward, I can recommend BKEWs old theories on Tumblr. Just take them all with a grain of salt. The ones you care about are the Ultimate Classpect Post, Aspect Duality Theory, and the Class Role Table. The most condensed version will be that Ultimate Classpect Post though.

I mean, that ending came out of fricking nowhere, and I don't believe the bullshit about how leaving literally dozens of loose threads was an intentional subversion. He just gave up on actually finishing his story and put out a pretty animation instead of an ending. Or I'm just huffing copium, who knows.

He gave it to a developer for a game, and they screwed him over, and stole the money. Then he had to figure out what happened, with the pressure of millions of dollars on his back, and people's expectations. It broke a man.

        It means that Classpect quizzes are and have always been bullshit.
        >Sylph of Time
        As the Slyph of Time, you'll be thrust into a position of responsibility, surrounded by allies you need to protect and nurture. You may have to use the power of Time to heal their literal wounds, but it's more likely that they'll be experiencing Time related suffering that you'll be uniquely able to relieve (chronic pain, prophecy obsession, etc.) Ultimately though, if you achieve your full potential you'll be challenged to heal the wounds of the timeline itself, whatever that happens to mean in your session.

        Heir of Light. Heir like my favorite kid John, and Light like my favorite kid Rose. No idea what it means, but hell yeah.

        To be an Heir of Light means that you'll begin your adventure presented with amazing insight and/or fortune. You'll be able to uncover information about nearly anything you'd like with lucky coincidences happening all the time, and it'll be a wonderful new chapter in your life. You probably won't see anything wrong with it... which will be the problem. It won't be long at all before you know too much for your own good, and one of the few things you don't notice will probably be how your behavior is affecting your friends. Your luck may very well come at the expense of your allies, and at a certain point your constant advice will likely become overbearing.

        Ultimately, the challenge you're faced with will not be to discover greater and more powerful Light. If you do that, you'll burn like Icarus in the sun. Instead, you must find the value of Void in yourself and the world. You need to admire the mysteries of life and Paradox Space, and also learn to keep things to yourself for once.

        (If this doesn't sound like you, that's just because Classpect quizzes are about as meaningful as Buzzfeed quizzes.)

        Hope is the aspect of possibility and belief. It is the pure power that lets you achieve your goals in life, bringing yourself to a bright future. An infusion of hope provides the power to do anything you want, create opportunities from nothing, and destroy anything that gets in your way.

      >Random items might suddenly gain a long and very specific cooldown timer when stored, only to later reveal themseves as an important plot device that unlocks just as soon as it's needed the most urgently, similar to the Kanya modus

            One idea I've come up with is that since bards destroy their aspect, the void boys would end up canceling eachother out since they're all aligned with the same aspect and we'd be completely fine. Or they could just summon unfathomable numbers of horrorterrors with their combined powers and kill us all, its a coin toss really.

                Blood is everything Karkat cared about when his group was playing: bonds/alliances/leadership. Simple enough. There's a "canon" aspect test made to promote the Hiveswap games, called the Extended Zodiac. They never made a counterpart for classes, but you get your moon in there, at least.

        To be a Prince, as you've correctly interpreted, is to embody your Aspect through destruction. Unlike a Bard, who would destroy through others, your role will be to destroy with your own hands. But what does it mean to destroy Blood, or to destroy with Blood? Well, aside from the aesthetic flourish of probably wielding weapons forged in blood, your role will likely enable you to enact terrifying violence against anyone you wish — but then, that's an ability afforded to most Princes.

        Your real strength will lie in one of two realms. Blood is the aspect of loyalty, bonds, and promises. If you can forge bonds with those you care about and gain their loyalty, then your power will grow as you stand on their shoulders. In more gamey terms, you're the DPS who everyone should buff, because their buffs on you will scale exponentially.

        Take care, though. As wonderful as it seems to be dangerous and brutal, your role will incline you towards destruction as a whole. You may be able to use Blood to destroy, but you'll also find it so very easy to destroy Blood. That is to say, you'll be able to break apart the bonds that tie people together. If you let your role overtake you, you'll begin to break each and every bond around you. Really, it would be trivial to ruin your own web of friends, cutting off all aid and leaving you cold and alone. You won't even have to try to do it — in fact, it might happen as a result of you trying to hold onto your bonds of friendship too tightly.

        Your path to avoid this fate is to accept your Aspect's opposite. You'll be challenged with learning to respect the importance of Breath. Breath is freedom, Breath is the aspect of heroic quests. This means giving freedom to those who've promised to aid you. Don't forge bonds which wrap around your allies necks and strangle them, or you'll be the one responsible for severing the chains that hold you together.

                Go to make a sandwich and their was a puppet stuffed between the two end slices in the bag. Go to make a smoothy and there's a puppet in the blender and oh no somehow it turned on and why was that puppet full of fake blood? Gotta shower before school but that puppet on the nozzle is eyeing you so impudently maybe you don't need a shower today. Had a good night rest? Wake up with puppets on your chest. And they move. Never while you're looking but through some unknown to you means they do.

                The puppets are always looking right at you and damn do they have sexy butts.

        >A Bard of Breath
        Breath is the Aspect of Wind/Lightning - but also of the concept of freedom of choice.

        I'd expect a Bard, who "invites destruction via their aspect", of Breath to be affect people's destiny in some what, destroying their ability to choose heroic actions/outcomes. Think of it as having an aura around you that is limiting people's ability to be free - in any literal or metaphorical sense of the word.

        Or perhaps you'd make them "freely" able to be defeated in some what.
        >Knight of Time
        You can time travel. Knights "serve through their aspect" so basically Knights of Time are huge errand boys who use the timeline as a method to achieve all type of shenanigans or to fight. Sounds more lame than it actually is - Dave Strider was a Knight of Time and he was constantly beating the shit out of anything he encountered.

        Those which bear this mythological role can {Destroy} [Breath], {Destroy} through [Breath], and be {Destroyed} by [Breath]. Additionally - regardless of the user's intention - these expressions principally are in relevance to others, serving and impacting them disproportionately relative to the user.

        The literal force governed by the [Breath] aspect is Momentum.

        Bards of Breath passively induces stillness upon the world around them, their influence arresting motion and strangling incitement. In addition, this classpect can indirectly leverage those same forces towards destructive ends - pressuring others to dangerously accelerate their conduct or by encouraging them to act independently at inopportune moments. The character of individuals belonging to this role may be laid-back, slow-to-action, or excessively thoughtful - in essence they hold a distinct distaste for being hurried into action which is fitting as they prove to be exceedingly prove to crumbling when swept up in particularly high-energy situations involving dynamic changes or multiple intelligent actors.

      I mean pretty much this. I definitely feel like you'd almost need two systems, one for like actually playing and interacting with things (Combat, skill checks, Statistics etc.) and another that is just ... Made up on the fly and total bullshit to represent all the grist, prototyping, meticulous bullshit, etc.

      So the idea of "Traditional RPG where bullshit computer rpg/adventure game stuff is a real obstical you have to do actual human thinking around." sounds kind of neat.

      Shame the scenario itself is pretty opposed to group play. Which is to say, presuming you start from scratch, everybody starts off on their own, and stays on their own, stuck in their houses for a long while. Like even if you sort of do it as a weird round robin GM thing like it is in the comic (One player does gm stuff for another player who does wandering around getting into fights) with more than two people taking turns it again feels like it could be a bit of a stop and start gm-ing and playing experience.

      I feel like I'm accidentally stumbling into ways to make it work and instantly tearing them down.

        To alleviate having certain players 'stop and go' as much, let players take over as Sprites when it's not their turn to do plot shit, doomed game constructs designed to help players along. Just an extra battle helper/someone for protagonists stuck on a planet alone to bounce ideas off of. For extra head-frickery have the players play as Sprites composed of their own dead doomed timeline selves so they're still playing their character even when they're not playing their character.

        I don't think any long-term campaign based on SBURB would ever end well. Players would lose track of what they were supposed to be doing, the GM would be juggling so many NPCs, it would be so easy to frick up any one step of the whole process and make the entire game a colossal waste of time because someone didn't prototype their kernel sprite correctly 36 sessions ago, or whatever.

        You could take the general idea of a complex game within a game where players cobble together weapons and explore a bizarre world, going through challenges to prep what will ultimately be a universe genesis machine while gaining Classpects and God-tiers and so on, but I think if you shave off too much of the stupid Hussy-esque bullshit, it does kinda take away too much of what a homestuck fan might want from such an RPG.

                It needs a few years in the cooker.
                Eventually we want an ai that can improvise, but remember what it has established and stick to certain hardcoded sburb concepts.
                At certain points, logic has to take over. You can't have the AI suddenly declaring an enemy drops a billion grist or that the final boss dies on the first hit. A framework of loot tables and healthbars is necessary. I don't think current AI can make use of something like that.

            Homestuck fan. I picked 4. I left unsatisfied because by the end the top one was the only one getting attention.
            This is what happens when you let fans on the project, they skew the thing off into whatever direction they want it to go. So it turned into nothing but drama and shipping bullshit and jerking itself off.

            Caliborn's masterpiece was the last readable thing published, everything else was like nails on chalkboard until I finally gave up hoping for it to get better.

            You steal rage from you enemies and give it to you allies.
            This may sound weak as hell at first but sapping your opponents of their rage can cause apathy and giving it to you allies can motivate them.

            rage also has to do with like, Truth in a way.
            Its opposing element Hope is all about potential and ideals, turning currently nonreal ideas into an actual reality. Rage is about savagely destroying that which is false but masquerading to be true.

    Classpect as a concept would although there would need to be some creative legwork for the more vague concepts but its basically a class will skills and then the magic relating to those skills.
    The Planets and the whole game of SBURB is doable but again its going to take work to make it all thematic to the characters.
    Combat is basically all homebrew for (insert GURPS or whatever here)
    The resource management system would be hell without a 3d modeling program or the person drawing everything having a ton of spatial awareness.
    The Crafting system would need to be simplified as while it is explained pretty well in comic any player that it doesn't immediately click with will tune out quickly.
    Keeping track of the movement of all relevant NPC's i.e. Jack or the Exiles is again doable but really hard.
    Time travel bullshit and predestination while thematically important should be kept to the minimum required amount of time loops (Guardian, Ectobiology, Exile's outcomes being destined already) unless there is a time player in which case that's going to be the vast majority of their play experience if they actually try and use their powers.
    Doomed timelines should be kept to a background thing unless again there is a time player and the Lovecraftian shit again should just be background fluff.
    All of the Lord English stuff should be ignored entirely I know many aspiring GMs would want to put in a Doc Scratch expy but its going to be shit and you have enough on your plate already.
    The Scratch is basically just a new campaign in itself.
    And I think that's about it
    If the GM is keeping accurate notes on the plans and timetables of all the main movers and shakers then everything should be good.
    Besides building a system to handle all of this in the first place...

            The list is the conventional boring inventory. Your item slots are in an ordered row and you can access each slot by specifying the number.

            The tuple is also a row of slots, but tuples cannot be modified once created. So I suppose the fetch modus equivalent would be that items go back into their item slots once you let of them, and you cannot use that slot for anything else.

            The set cannot store duplicates of the same item. But as long as you're storing unique objects, there is no limit to the inventory space. You cannot simply select an element in the set by its number. You can either grab the lowest or highest value object, or grab an object whose exact value you know.

            The dictionary stores any number of objects alongside a specified key. If you know the key, you can retrieve the object. If you use the same key again, you lose the previously stored object, which in homestuck I guess would mean ejecting it. My memory is fuzzy, wasn't there a dictionary modus at some point in the comic?

            The linked list can mean either singly linked or doubly linked. It means you can only access a slot of you have access to its neighbour. So if you want to grab the item in the third slot, you need to open up the first slot, then instead of retrieving its stored element press the button that give you access to the second slot, where you do the same to get to the third.
            In a singly linked list you can only go one way, in a doubly linked list you can also go backwards.

            The stack you know. You can only access the most recently added item. In a computer that also means not being able to tell what is in the slots you can't access, but I suppose in homestuck you still have oversight, only physically retrieving the items follows data structure rules.

            The queue only lets you access the eldest item added.

            • 1 year ago
              Anonymous

              The tree is like a singly linked list, but each slot points to two other slots instead of one. You need to know the value of the object you want in order to retrieve it, the tree will be ordered in such a way that if the value you're looking for is lower than the slot you're looking at, the slot you're looking at is in the left branch, and otherwise it's in the right branch. So you iterate over the branches, checking if the one you're at has gone over or under your target value yet.
              When Rose used the tree fetch modus, being able to find where an item was wasn't the problem. The problem was that the tree didn't reorder itself and a bunch would fell out if you grabbed a middle section. So you see, the challenge of a fetch modus doesn't track one-to-one with the concerns of programmers using the data structure.

              With a graph, you can decide for yourself what other slots each slot links to. In this way, the data structure itself is used to represent some sort of information, such as city pathways or telephone networks. I suppose this would be like Rose's tree but up to her own design. Meaning more easily used.

                Actually, I think it would be entertaining if the modus chose the connections between items, and a "theme" of each graph based on the first item captchalogued into it. You could only captchalogue items of that theme, like how Dirk's modus sorted things into different groups.
                On top of that, you have multiple graphs, an amount equal to the squared product of captchalogue cards you have, rounded down (eg 1-3 cards means 1 graph, 4-8 means 2, 9-15 means 3, etc). Captcha cards are divided as evenly as possible among them.
                To retrieve an item, you can remove the item with lowest sum of connection values, or you can dump the whole graph. Also, if you try to retrieve an item that would split your graph into two separate graphs with no connections between them, the graph will also dump.

          Making a freeform SBURB game for some friends and came up with some horseshit Modus where instead of programming jokes or board games they're NES cartridges.

          Tetris: Player gets a sheet of graph paper and draws in a predetermined Tetris piece for every item they store. Making a straight line destroys every item impacted and hitting the top ejects everything.

          Final Fantasy: 3 constructs (Fighter, Black Mage, Thief) can be 'equipped' with stored items as Body-Head-Arms-Hand. Keeping a full set on one changes stats a little but you can only hold 12 max items.

          Kirby: Can only hold a single item but it can be ejected a lot more forcefully than a standard Sylladex or 'eaten' to change the Modus (like destroying a microwave makes it a Fire Kirby Modus and items stored will have Fire attributes when retrieved, etc)

          Super Mario Bros: Items get stored in [?] Blocks and retrieving an item gives you a random one back. The more stuff you have the less likely you are to get the one you need.

          Bomberman: Store whatever you want but it'll explode a few seconds after you pull it back out.

          Duck Hunt: Storage has no limit but a cartoon duck flies away with your shit if you can't shoot it down fast enough.

          To answer your question Dave's Hash Fetch Modus looks the most fun to frick around with.

      Yes and no. Don't expect a remotely satisfying ending. As for the trolls, yeah they're pretty boring at first, but you might grow to enjoy them over time. It's also really satisfying once you get back to the kids again. I wouldn't be here writing out lengthy posts if I wasn't passionate about Homestuck, but it's definitely a flawed story. Still, once you get through Act 5 Act 1, Act 5 Act 2 is real fun, and probably the closest thing the story has to a good finale. Honestly, once you get to the end of Act 5 ( [s] Collide, for context) you should treat that as the ending of Homestuck. You can keep reading if you're really compelled to do so by then, but it gets painfully slow and doesn't have much payoff.

      What you should really take a look at though is Problem Sleuth, now that's a fun webcomic.

              Alright, frick it. The game definitely won't start for a bit and will be pbp (maybe with occasional voice sessions?) but you can add me on Discord so we can frick around and find out. LimmKey#3402

              I'd be down but what system are you thinking of running it with?

              Not 100% sure yet, but don't expect something super rules-heavy and crunchy. It might be something extremely custom, or it might just be kitbashed out of my own ideas and a rules-light system like PBTA. If anyone has any recommendations I'll keep them in mind.

        I planned to use Sollux as an example of what a mage could do, since he felt death approaching and knew it would happen, the mage of mind would be a smart guy that would just do his own thing and end up helping everyone figure how sburb works, he would come accross ideas randomly that are mostly correct and would be good at puzzles. But he would quite frequently overthink, get caught in his own thoughts for a long while and end up getting stuck without being able to make a decision since he doesn't know if it would be correct.
        Honestly Mages are pretty vague but since they're opposite of Seers, they'd be experiencing their aspects more and having internal knowledge of it instead of seeing and being guided towards it.
        But I know I'd end up writing him like that one Sherlock copypasta since I'm not a smart man.

            Pretty much, that is why I argue that Mage of Mind is one of the most meta-powerfull classpects, since it is knowledge about knowledge (on themselves, others and everything around them) itself. I'd say is on par with a Seer of Time or a Prince of Rage

              Mind isn't Knowledge per say.
              It's Cognition and Causality.
              A Mage of Mind would be aware of all minds within their range of influence, and be privy to their contents. Including - especially - their own.
              A Mage of Mind would know the outcomes of all possible decisions within their range of influence, and the outcomes of decisions which will arise from those decisions ad infinitum, with terrifying accuracy. They would also be capable of infer information that technically falls outside of the preview of their Aspect via close inspection of the choices that exist or could exist.
              A Mage of Mind would experience difficulty getting this Classpect to influence others, perhaps its difficult to articulate or there's some other contrivance at play, but for whatever reason this role works best when primarily impacting or serving the user.

                The Light Aspect is all about Illumination and Contrast. There are double meanings sprinkled here and there. be aware that all interpretations are equally likely to manifest.
                A Mage of Light would know of and about photons, but also of knowledge - their eyes alive with inner light, erudition, and revelation. Simultaneously, they would be capable of harvesting more information through the application of knowledge or literal photons.
                A Mage of Light would possess deep comprehension of diametric contrasts - good & evil, hot & cold, fortunate & unfortunate, and would be wield an active awareness of those pairings. They would likely also be able to discern otherwise undetectable details about the world around them by reflecting upon this bank of comprehension.
                As with the Mage of Mind, most of these applications would tend to turn themselves onto the user before others. A Mage of Light *knows* what they know, and they are also intensely aware any dichotomy within them or which they may be part of.

                Not really sure what you were expecting dude. It's not like there's a concrete official explanation for Classes and Aspects to draw from.
                Every explanation of Classpect's will be 75% fanon because the mechanics for HS' setting exist simply to serve the coming-of-age narrative that Hussie wanted to write.

                A Mage of Light is one who {Knows} [Light] and {Knows} through [Light].

                That's all. The powers offered by this Classpect don't grant any flashy superpowers - taken right out of the box, they probably aren't going to let you shoot lasers from your eyes or create miniature stars in the palm of your hand. However, they *do* keep the user extremely well-informed, and the insight they provide could be applied to help alchemize powerful items and equipment.

                Fauntleroy initially envisioned Terezi in the Vriska role, hence the Two-Face coin flipping gimmick, and Light ending up being straight luck, while Mind had to be corralled into some bizarre, non-knowledge aspect to retroactively justify the coin flips without infringing on luck.

                There's a bit of misinterpretation as Light definitely has perception under it's purview but perception doesn't equal knowledge. It just refers to how much data can be acquired not how well it's used.

        I liked the idea of a church girl with a nun aesthetic being a Witch of Void, I was mostly thinking with my dick but I always thought about her being conflicted with her emotions due to her role, since she's very religious so being a witch and also ending up have to deal with the horrorterrors, so that would be her initial conflict and her cope was that it was a mission from God, but eventually she would change her views, trying to understand what God is instead of just blind faith.
        It would be mostly a test of faith for her, even her land was one of Darkness. I remember her strife specibus would be of the umbrella kind and she would use it to fly around like Mary Poppins.

    answering this seriously? no, there is no good way to translate sburb into an actual game in its given form.
    i say this as someone who has read through the whole thing no less than three times, hates the fandom, and genuinely enjoyed the epilogue: the game is broken and the rules are incomprehensible
    the characters all end up with broken powers because of unusual circumstances, and the timeline is borked from the beginning. on top of that, the rules are largely unexplained and interpretive, as even the characters spend half the time trying to figure it out
    maybe if the game as it was meant to be played was shown you could derive some set of rules from it, but as it stands now anything you make would either be unplayable or completely different from the original
    for a good example of how difficult it would be to translate into a playable form, just try looking up the class system and how it works

        more than anything by that point the fandom was pissing me off and the epilogue felt like it was trolling the hardcore fans, and that made me smile more than anything

    No it wouldn't. Sburb as a game can be so easily broken by a myriad of things going wrong that the game has no way to account for it other than going for a "doomed timeline" which can ALSO be broken via the usage of space and/or time players. No one knows the rules of Sburb since it constantly breaks itself down due to god-tiers and other shenanigans that it turns into something unrecognisable.
    If you want to turn Sburb into an RPG or to DM it in some way, you'll have to just create Sburb as you THINK it would be in your head because the "official" sburb in the comic is complete nonsense. In that sense, go fricking wild and crazy with how the rules should be and make a sburb that ACTUALLY makes a lick of sense.
