Snypiuer

All that's missing is: Momma. Pick-up trucks. Trains. Getting drunk. A dog. ~ David Allen Coe (paraphrased)

Snypiuers' niece is getting older and with this, she has begun to question the validity of the knowledge of which he bestows upon her. You: What impudence is this of which thou speaketh, pray tell. Well, my good Pennite, I shall give thee a for instance: Since Snypiuers' niece was a tiny baby, he has been singing the "proper" lyrics to the Spiderman theme to her - which we ALL know are: Spiderman Spiderman Does whatever a spider can Shoots a web Out his *** Always smells like he's passing gas Phew🫢 Here comes the Spiderman! *Fart Noise* As of late, Snypiuers' niece has grown suspect as to the sincerity of Snypiuers' assertion of the lyrics' canon. Snypiuer is not only passing on knowledge to future generations, he is also attempting to confer sagacity unto them. How is Snypiuer repaid for his magnanimity? With disbelief and incredulity. We weep for the future of Man. 🥹

I created a race for my D&D world years ago called the Vampyr. Sunlight weakened but didn't kill them. Feeding gave them strength, powers, healing, etc. for a limited time depending on their experience level. There were very few of them, but they led a kingdom of normal people who adored them and willingly allowed them to feed. They used the strength and powers they gained from feeding to benefit their people, protect from invaders, heal disease/injuries, etc. They never drained, excessively fed or even fed without consent, on their own people and their people were willing to sacrifice themselves in time of war to keep them fed in battle. Draining a normal person has an inverse chance to raise their level or give them a power - the higher the Vampyr experience level, the less the chance. Feeding off another Vampyr was even more potent and detrimental. While a normal person eventually recovers if they aren't drained completely, a Vampyr that is fed on WILL lose levels and, possibly, powers that they can't recover simply with rest and time. Even healing won't return them; they have to be regained as if they never had them. The Vampyr that feeds off another Vampyr has a chance, in direct correlation to their experience level (the higher their level, the greater the chance), to gain levels and powers. A Vampyr that drains another Vampyr WILL have every stat raised by half the drained Vampyr's equivalent stat level, experience level raised by half the drained Vampyr's level and gain the drained Vampyr's powers. These new levels last for a number of turns equal to the new experience level, after which there is a percentage chance equal to the new level that these can be permanent - e.g. new strength level 20 = 20%, if failed 19%, etc. until original level is reached. This is done for every stat once a turn, until there is a save for that stat, or the original level is reached - e.g. strength saves but no other stat saves; strength now permanent while each stat drops by 1 level and rerolls next turn and repeats until each stat saves or reaches original level. This includes experience level. Gained powers are checked each turn and can fail until all other stats either pass or fail until original level is reached. Powers gained are each rolled against experience level each turn until each power saves or is lost, regardless of experience level save or failure - e.g. experience level is originally 15 and increases to 20, while there are 3 powers gained. After 20 turns all stats are checked, some stats pass, most fail, including experience level while all gained powers fail at a 20% chance, next turn the experience level is now 19 and powers are checked against 19% and fail, but the experience level passes, this means all other stats continue to be checked until they pass or reach original level while the gained powers are checked at 19% until they pass or all other stats pass or reach original level, after which the gained powers get 1 more chance at 19%. Here's the kicker: After the final check, there is a chance that the feeding Vampyr can't handle the increase in stats and powers and, basically, burns up and dies - I can't remember how I worked out how to determine the chance this happens, but it did take a while to figure out a way to make it fair. I had a lot more, as well as several other races, but have no idea where I have any of it.

Unsure how long he's actually doing this (it maybe as long as you have this link, he asks for people to share it), but if you're into horror this author is giving away all his books for free as a promotion: davidviergutz.com/products/23?_kx=wJVaId20_04qgiSvzbJwCTjoxiiI5XsDJSAq4ZmRzgg.RekAJf He also does snail-mail stories that you receive twice a month until the story is complete. ENJOY!!!

Is there a possibility that the entity could actually fully enter this realm, but be so spread out through so many minds, that it would be unable to coalesce and open a portal or manifest a form? If so, would it than, essentially, become a disincorporated force or energy magic users could tap into?

Once again, Snypiuer is disappointed by the vagaries of life:☹️ If you get a prescription for Nitrofurantoin, it's because you have an infection.🤒 Your doctor is NOT ordering you a part in a Vin Diesel movie!🥹

I like this! I'm assuming that, while not as powerful as other entities in the Far Realms, the being is still far too powerful for even a moderate sized group (let alone an individual) to be a vessel with the ability to host enough of its essence for it too simply fully inhabit in toto - thus the need for a portal/gate or a group large enough for it to manifest a form.

I WANT to say that a Gwixal Grove is like a Chili's or a TGI Fridays 🤔. . . maybe Olive Garden 🤨. . . right? 😕

No title or story idea, just an opening sentence: Wait, you actually think WE'RE the good guys!? Military story? Law enforcement? Rebels? Robin Hood type thieves? Superheroes? Religious? No idea, I just like this as the first sentence of a story.

Snypiuer has started and not finished more stories than he can count but, there is a reality in which he has, not only finished a book, that book has become the greatest and most significant story ever to be written. Snypiuer has no idea what that story is about or how it even begins. Snypiuer only knows the last line and it's a line that transformed nations and brings about universal harmony and prosperity. That line is only 3 words and is spoken in a matter of fact, quiet voice by Shaquille O'Neal: Shaq likes cookies.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! What is the possibility that I MIGHT find my lost socks and tchotchkes in the Liminal? Not pointing fingers, buuuttt, Yuuxath IS a bit of a ____ . . . just saying.

Is it just me, or does it seem the Liminal may be an abandoned or lost reality, below all others, that parts of the realities above it leaks into - a void or sponge, of sorts, that collects the detritus flaking off of other realities?

Is it possible that the Liminal is related to the Sidhe/Faery Realm? Perhaps a reflection or even a distant part? At least adjacent to it?

There is a reality, slightly off-kilter to the parphiphilian and a slimbix cantwise from the altrinsic naefeir la'athyp, where music is a weapon. This reality is VERY warlike, and musicians and bands are warriors and military units. The Led Zeppelins are some of the deadliest fighter pilots, with chilling stories of them strafing their enemies with 100's of dBs' from 100,000-watt chain speakers blasting the Immigrant Song while the B-52's drop strains of Love Shack and Rock Lobster under escort of the Jefferson Airplanes giving White Rabbit cover fire. Psyop units abound, each with their own specific goals and agendas. The Beatles use subterfuge and manipulation to lull and cajole a populace into obedience and conformity while the Pink Floyd fosters political unrest and social discord. The Knights of Ozzy are the most feared assassins and are only rumored to exist - Many an individual in their supposedly safe beds, has awoken from a deep sleep only to find themselves paralyzed, drenched in sweat and falling into an all-consuming insanity from which they never return, all while Crazy Train echoes through what's left of their minds while others meet their end in dark alleyways or backstreets, frozen in terror as Mr. Crowley drifts from the shadows. At least those are the stories that are told, but since there has NEVER been a verifiable survivor, nor witness, to tell their story first-hand, the truth may never be known. There are regular troops like Maroon Fives, Backstreet Boys, Bananaramas, Creeds, Limp Bizkits and Drakes to name a few. Then you have shock troops like Swifties who rely on overwhelming numbers to overrun enemies and GG Allins who simply do NOT stop no matter how injured they are or what deadly or disgusting, foul or disturbing obstacle they need to go through to reach their objective. You have Special Forces like Nugents, Van Halens, Hendrixs, Roy Clarks, Mariah Careys, Little Richards and many more - all wielding electric guitars and keyboards, power drums, sonic microphones, etc. Then there are mercenaries: Wu-Tangs, Primus', Digital Undergrounds, Parliament-Funkadelics, Beastie Boys, KISS, James Gang, Baby Metal, the list goes on and on. Finally, there are barbarians, anarchist, terrorist and the psychotic. Groups and individuals who simply desire chaos and destruction; GWAR, DEVO, Rammstein, Talking Heads, Ye, Weekend, BTS, Reba, The Flys, Linda Lindas, Pentatonix, Chumbawamba, Social Distortion, Blackpink, Arianna Grande - this is just a small fraction of these types of groups and individuals that are KNOWN. This is in no way a complete list of groups, individuals, etc. nor agendas, motives, roles, purpose, abilities, etc. If anyone comes across ANY further information on this reality, you are always welcome to add to this!

Actually, it's a world full of sloths where snail heroes are being raised by a rabbit. Snypiuer is the only human. It's complicated.

I wrote this a week, or so, after there was a hoax that Ozzy had passed. I wrote it and went to bed and when I woke up, he was gone. I only got to see him once in concert. I did have 2 chances in the early 80's, but both times the concert promoters canceled due to protests - religious reasons and also something about "desecrating" a monument? Gene Simmons summed it up perfectly: BEFORE Ozzy, there was NEVER an Ozzy. It's a loss, not just for his family (the most meaningful and heartbreaking loss), but for everyone. There are a lot of bad stories about him, but I have NEVER heard a bad one about HIM as a human being. Every story about Ozzy, as a person, was that he was the kindest, most loving person you could meet. I've been to a LOT of concerts and EVERY band/musician shouts, "WE/I LOVE YOU!". Even when it sounds genuine, it still sounds like. "BECAUSE YOU LOVE US/ME!" should come next. I swear, when Ozzy shouted, "I LOVE YOU ALL!" he MEANT it - "I love you all", because HE actually loved YOU, each and everyone. Everyone I've ever talked to that has seen him live has said the same thing. With all that being said, I STILL don't feel like he's gone. It's like he's "physically" gone, but "OZZY" isn't. Can't explain it . . . weird. July has NOT been such a great month when it comes to celebrities passing - Connie Frances, Malcolm Jamal Warner, John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne, Terry Gene "Hulk Hogan" Bollea.

According to Multiverse Theory, there are an infinite number of universes in which every possibility and reality can, therefor, exist. This means that there is a universe in which an individual is an amalgam of: Ozzy Osbourne, Eddie Van Halen and Moby. In this universe, this individual takes the place of Jon Bon Jovi and goes by the name, Ozzy Van Moby. I do NOT want to, EVER . . . so much as ACCIDENTLY . . . even BRIEFLY . . . come in contact with that universe in ANY way, shape or form . . . EVER!!!😬😕😧

O.K., if I'm not mistaken, an Eldrabus would be the equivalent of a canon? If yes, I like the idea of multi-spell Mageshot scattered across a battlefield. Now, are grenades and claymores possible? I was thinking dual shot shrapnel in a grenade: Antigravity immediately on detonation for a given amount of time, followed by a delayed heavy gravity spell.

O.K., does the Arcabus, itself, impart the spell into the ammo, or does the ammo have the spell already ensorcelled upon it and the Arcabus provides the magical energy to fuel the spell? If the latter, could you then, when using an Enscrolled Blunderbus, actually load it with a bunch of ammo, all ensorcelled with different spells? I know you stated that Munds are used, but COULD you use ammo already ensorcelled? Just asking for a friend . . . not me . . . definitely NOT ME . . . I would NEVER consider doing such a thing . . . but if SOMEONE tried, would it work?

Good thing you, basically, already have a glossary with all your previous posts. Pare them down a bit and I believe you're good to go! As to your Kull/magic/psi conundrum, I'd need to read up on that. Are you just going off of D&D, or are other magic systems an option, e.g., Ars Magica, Arcanum (Atlantean Trilogy), GURPS, etc.?

I like the story so far. One thing I might point out is that, if a reader hasn't read all your previous definitions, descriptions, etc., they may find it hard to follow. But having read them, I can't wait for more!

The stairs to the second-floor head straight towards Snypiuer's niece's room and, about 2/3 of the way up, come to a small landing and turn to the right, parallel to her door. The banister at the top of the stairs is actually a low wall about 8-inches, or so, wide. So, when she opens her door, she sees the low wall and would need to walk forward to look over it to see the stairs. This low wall, for some unexplained reason Snypiuer can't figure out, appears to be the perfect place to drape random garments over - e.g.: shirts, pants, blouses, etc. Also, Snypiuer can stand on the third step from the top and rest his chin on the banister. He can also grab a red blouse that's randomly draped over the banister, bunch some of it up under his chin and let it hang over in such a way it would appear to be flowing off the banister if it were a liquid. He can then just wait with his head resting sideways on the banister for about 40 minutes. I know what you're thinking, "Snypiuer, how did you manage to stay focused for 40 minutes straight with ADD!?" The simple answer is, Snypiuer did NOT . . . but Snypiuer DID find himself, multiple times, wondering what he was doing standing at the top of the stairs with a red blouse and suddenly thinking, "I can make it look like my head is laying in a pool blood!" Now you're thinking, "How do you know it was about 40 minutes?". Well, as Snypiuer's sister was going downstairs, she passed him when he first started waiting (Snypiuer is relatively sure it was when he FIRST started) and eventually, after Snypiuer's niece finally walked out of her room and all the screaming and hubbub began to taper off, Snypiuer's sister remarked, "You've been standing there this whole time!? It's been over a half hour!" And another thing, despite what Snypiuer's niece says, Snypiuer IS funny! In fact, Snypiuer is freakin' hilarious!

Hmmm, I was contemplating a trip to the Archives for the cookies 🍪. . . I was under the impression that they had REALLY good cookies . . . I was TOLD that, not only were there cookies, but that they were astronomically superior to fresh DoubleTree cookies . . . was I misinformed!?🤨 I am going to be HIGHLY perturbed if THOSE cookies aren't there.😠

I'm just going to mention what I, personally, think of this tv series without actually talking about it so that I don't spoil it for anyone watching it. O.K., been watching Wheel of Time on Prime and I do NOT remember, when I read the books, hoping that someone . . . ANYONE, would just kill Nynaeve al'Meara - like, just kill her . . . please. Now it's been years since I read the books, so I could be mistaken about how she was portrayed in them. I just know that the tv version of her makes the perfectly healthy guy cowering in a corner and begging you to save HIS life (instead of the unconscious individual you're struggling to carry) during a Kobayashi Maru psychosimulator test, not only look fearless, but a true man of action and unwavering strength. Just saying. Like I mentioned, it's been years since I read the series (which I read over, something like, 23 years because that's about how long it took to be completed), but the tv version is clearly different and, while any tv adaption of a book will have differences for obvious reasons (time constraints, production limitations, monetary, etc.), this series deviates enough from the source material that even I, with my glitchy memory, notices it. Don't get me wrong, had I not read the books I would say the tv series is great, and it is, but having read the books the deviations from the source nag at me. That said, if you can look past and accept that certain changes are necessary to bring a book to screen, it's a passable adaptation - kill Nynaeve and I'd say it's an ASTOUNDING tv series loosely based on the Wheel of Time universe!

We're supposed to know all the words!? Just a minute . . . let me check . . . yep, I know them. I've had Flo Rida's Low before, just the low, low, low part and a random "apple bottom jeans, jeans" and "fur, with the fur" thrown in because that's about all the lyrics I know. I use Lil Jon's Get Low (but just the "window to the wall" part) to jumble it up and short circuit it. Another one I keep getting stuck with is People R Ugly's Brain Dead. By the way, their cover of 4 Non Blondes' What's Up is worth a listen.
