Hey Ruze I know you're reading this DND was great next time play Pathfinder 2e I'd imagine working with Paizo is much better than WOTC considering they usually love their content creators and also not fucking insane also the game is a lot better too also next time take Altare and Shinri at least they'll love it ok thx bye

I wanna put Flayon in a wheelchair and then throw plushies and squishy stuff at him until he leans back too much and falls off the wheelchair.

>>68671987
Lovely little oneshot.

>>68671987
angelic/10
I enjoyed it and kekked along a lot, and it was super cute seeing the other 3 getting the hang of getting immersed into the scenarios. One 6 hour session for a one shot was a good balance for not asking too much from the others but still giving them a build up to a boss fight and complete story to play. I think at the barest minimum Octavio can be counted on to jump on board quickly for a west marches opportunity and then they'd only need a few from Tempus to get the ball rolling to try that out. And because it's west marches format, maybe a couple or a few indies who showed they're compatible like Roy in the farther future could end up trying it too

You're so cute. You think last week he got drunk for the 3D and not because he was out partying with notMagni?

>>68672563
I know for a fact that notMagni, Magfriend and him made a pact on new years to go as sober as possible and only drink on big celebrations like birthdays/xmas/new year. And they've stuck to it, surprisingly enough. They do go out and eat meals and such together, but they don't party.

Jurard didn't end and switch to a new stream, so it'll be on his channel.

flayon is really good in this trio and lethal company is a great game for him. i love this sassy little focused guy doing his bits and bouncing off his collab partners well. jurard has the screeching under control and ollie has the sexpestery so he's playing more of a middleman, i wish i could get this flayon all the time

hes probably been reading the awful shit people say about him talking too much in collabs, but I'm glad he's taken it well cause this is nice

>>68673995
why would the vods be going down?

>>68674762
Thinking that makes me a bit sad. If he has been /here/ i hope he can parse the shitposting and genuine criticism and not take the former to heart

>>68674836
i criticize flayon heavily because i wish he were better, i take the chances i can to give him a compliment and would always wish for him to improve himself to be a bit more palatable. he's great sometimes when he's bouncing off other boys like bettel, and the full VG lethal company was real good. the art stream with jurard was a little bit more him autistically shooting his question and answer script at the dino, but now they're playing equally and just fucking around, i think i'll love red tail duo from now on.

If you're also a depressed bettellion desu now's the time to load up on your second, third, and fourth favorite's merch, maybe you will soon move on and be able to appreciate other chuubas who seem to actually care about their fans, like I did....

[Vtuber][Mod] Crimzon Ruze Ch. HOLOSTARS-EN:

I've noticed a lot of people like how chuubas say Altare

>>68677917
i think the boys double streaming and it being fucked late in flayon's timezone nerfed them enough, and ollie is usually really good at playing off the others energy and keeping things going. the kobalt earlier today was also surprisingly good. mixed collab temporary truce and love

Aruran only sang 2 songs in his 1st 3d but he also had some other StarJp show up. If Altare doesn’t sing a lot of songs, he could do skits, build up the lore with the Altventurers, maybe do a taekwondo/sword demo?

>>68680776
Yeah, 2% at least

>>68680897
He did say he’s doing less songs than Axel so yeah, I’m assuming he’s going that route

I remain convinced that Flayon's end goal regarding his lore is to get selfcest art.

If one of you livers are somehow here, keep up the good work! :) It warms my kokoro. And all the boys are kinda cute. I wanna grab Octavio's braids and pull them to help simulate g-forces if he decides to play a racing game.

>>68684721
Jurard is so cute

i think it was smart to just let the boys be "themselves" for their first dnd experience

>>68684918
there wasn't any easy way to ask one track mind jurard to grasp what it's like to see what the game and surviving fights are like while simultaneously roleplaying his halfling sorceror and reacting to the other 2 zipping around doing things like casting magehand on toilet

>>68684918
I actually think that's better than them playing characters, I'd rather see what they'd do in hypothetical situations than how they think Bob the Elf Sorcerer would act.

>>68684918
Ruze = the brains of Armis

>>68685237
I wonder how it'd go if they did try to make their own characters. Would they start off seriously? Make gag characters? Create gag characters and proceed to get overly attached to the life and struggles of BepsiCola BahaBlast?

>>68685237
yeah it's way more fun if they just play themselves in an au

>>68685237
I did like that it wound up turning into an Armis comedy OVA basically, but I would like to see them play characters next time.

>>68684918
Yeah, I think it's good he eased them in that way. Giving them more things to remember probably would have made it harder for them to pick up.

>>68685533
Ruze is smart enough to not let them make one note gag characters

>>68685533
I think Gibby would be the one to most likely make a joke character, maybe Octavio to a degree, Jurard would probably go all in with making the coolest character possible, and would be the most heartbroken if something happened to him.

>>68685533
Jutard will most likely be pressured to make Jurard Tyrellias Rexfordicus Jr. Sr. Esquire Junedino II de silvaAmadeus Batumbakal Dela Cruz Del MonteFalco Dalisay Cardio Menudo Montemayor :) Manaloto III by his viewers
Octavio will put Taylor Swift in
Gibby will make a furry mother with a slightly edgy yet silly backstory

Gag characters are fine for a one shot where you find them amusing for 4 hours or whatever and then move on. It's impossible to play anything long term with them, by session 2 the joke becomes obsolete and by session 3 you want to never hear about that character again

Can't they just use their characters' lore in their next dnd campaign? Why create something new? It also fits since they're adventurers/bounty hunters

>>68686325
Ruze said if they did that for west marches it would be a lot of the same classes, they gotta switch it up a bit and also... nothing is allowed to be mistaken for canon

>>68686325
From their perspective wouldn't it be ideal to get the choice between making something that's similar enough to basically just be themselves if they want to play that way, or something different entirely in class and race to play that's very enmeshed into the DnD imagining of it for the sake of trying it out for fun?

>>68686370
>nothing is allowed to be mistaken for canon
Is there any reason? I also remember Ruze saying that early in the collab.

>>68686751
Cover is autistic about official stuff. Also you don't want to play as "yourself" and then there's a group of orphans you have to kill to get the gold and it becomes weird. If it's Joe the Bounty Hunter doing it no one will care.

>>68686814
Ahhh I see. Thanks!

>>68686814
>there's a group of orphans you have to kill to get the gold and it becomes weird
I doubt Ruze would put them in a situation like that if they play themselves

>>68686751
Cover's extremely retarded about Elysium lore and has been from the get go

S O O N AAAAAAAAAAAA

>>68686843
So you still get the problem of having to work around this stuff when you could just make a character and do whatever

>>68686843
It doesn't have to be that extreme for it to be questionable for corporate. Jurard, for no good reason, tried to plant weed on little Timo'thee.

>>68686910
NOT SOON ENOUGH

>>68678032
Imagine the screams and unfunny jokes.

Speaking of Elysium lore, does anybody remember Shinri’s conspiracy theory stream? I don’t watch him much but it’s one of my favorites.
https://www.youtube.com/live/NYrMb2vdOQg?si=6gy9ttssdd4sL6OG

>>68687024
To be fair, Timo'thee is a pussy ass bitch. Useless during the boss fight

>>68687024
Timo'thee was asking for it.

>>68687104
I still consider most of the info from this stream canon. Some things are a stretch, bot most of it fits nicely.
The true nature of the Hollow Tree intrigues me to this day.

Man i wish staff wasnt so ass about lore perms. I feel like any other branch can just do whatever and have it become apart of their canon but the boys have to jump through 27 different hoops and still has to have it marked as non-canon.

>>68687419
One way to look at this is management cares and is invested in starsen to the point that they're anal about the lore.

>>68687638
nta but ok then give us some official content

>>68687104
I love how for Shinri these are the types of "Conspiracy Theories" he wants to do for fun, while for Magni, he just starts casually denying the Theory of Evolution in the middle of a stream unprompted as a "bit" till everyone thinks he believes what he's saying (including Shinri), Good Times!

MEANWHILE, ON BIZARRO /MANS/...

>>68687419
i still think lore expansion requires new debuts

>>68687419
not true
the boys can expand their character lore just as much as other talents (regis, whatever flay is doing, magnis lore video, hakka making shit up about how hakkitos come to life etc), it's just that they can't make up lore about the world they live in
and other branches don't really have a concept for a world they are part of, they are just part of the real world we live in

"Nah, Imma do my own thing"
https://youtu.be/EuF_-mW-pfk?t=19255

>>68687768
Part 12 of HQ's D n' D was pretty lit last night!

>>68687699
literally this. I doubt anyone would be mad at the crazy lore restrictions if there was like, an ongoing voice drama series or a manga using this as the story's basis.

>>68687780
That's still not good either? At this point why not just let the talents have access to whatever Elysium lore bible that they have to use as a starting point. It just kinda reeks of "We're really just making this shit up as we go", and if staff is doing that, they should be taking into account what the talents what to do with the worldbuliding too!

>hakka making shit up about how hakkitos come to life
non-canon, he's said so many times

idk how magni got the ok tbqh
and i honestly don't know what flayon is up to but all alter-ego stuff is non-canon

>>68687971
>"We're really just making this shit up as we go"
they are and they don't want anything the boys come up with interfering with a new gen or marketing opportunities when they come up with them.

>>68687768
Woven Fates is still my favourite song. It shows how tightly-knit HQ really is.

>>68688084
>idk how magni got the ok tbqh
His design is clearly meant to convey some clone shenanigans were going on with him and management probably already told him what the restrictions were on his story.

>>68688084
Pretty sure Magni was always about clones so he could work with it

>>68688118
Yeah, Vespers lines were my favorite part!

>>68687971
Because it's their IP and they don't want 10 different people making additions to the story at random that no one from staff could keep track of.

>>68688084
Yeah Flayon is only getting as far as he is because he's just doing AU shit in the most convoluted manner possible.
Alchemist Prologue is tagged as "roleplay" so it's impiled to be non-canon in nature, as for the 1.5 stuff, he probably worked heavily with management to get the ok? (Plus as he's themed around alchemy, homunculi/clones/body modding is inherently bulit into the character, so something like 1.5 isn't out of the question.)

>>68688329
That is true, but for now a year and a half that Shinri stream has more lore that everything cover put out about Utopia combined.
We got the first image of a corruption beast only on ARMIS debut. This is criminal.
I'm starving. I need lore crumbs.

>>68688365
>he probably worked heavily with management to get the ok?
not really, he finished the story that morning

>>68688448
They clearly understand that adding to this world is part of the appeal of StarsEN to fans, dunno why they don't do more with it. (Either that or they conceptualized all 3 gens around the same time and it's only now they're considering "Hmm......you think we should stick with this?")

>>68688585
>They clearly understand that adding to this world is part of the appeal of StarsEN to fans,
Oh, yes. At least to me, it's very appealing that all the boys share the lore. It can help to bring some dynamic.
But on the other hand, I understand that it can be constricting. Imagine if, say, Hakka leaned hard into his "tech suppor" role. Brrrr…

>>68688585
the branch isn't bringing enough money to justify making so much lore expansion content for them

>>68688791
nta but i'd be fine with maybe some anniversary lore-heavy VPs or a voice drama occasionally, which are dirt cheap compared to alternatives. just literally anything that would justify making the entire branch's lore operate within this world.

>>68688791
No, there must be a manga one day!
None of the art will be on model, the story points will be inconsistent, and all the boys will be written horribly off character!
I NEED THIS TO BE A THING ONE DAY!

>>68688448
if you mean lore as 'the universe's problem' then the fact that they're so abundant in Badlands that people will have to pay to kill them gives you something. and the NPC awakening... if it's canon
but if you mean lore as 'an addition to the universe's characters/civilization' then we have Xenokuni, Badlands, corruption infection, inherited genes and somehow long-time beta-testers.
we don't know these shit until VG and ARMIS debuted. Until then i hope they make a kind of event for their lore expansion without new debuts (i.e. manga, orisong, short cinematics), like >>68688944 says

>>68687768
I love how much Bettel 2 is included in Tempus fanart!

Probably entirely wishful thinking, but I'm hoping that when we get our next group of boys, who I assume should be involved with the northern region, then they might expand some more on lore as a whole, given that we would have a basic "full" map of Elysium.

>>68689086
This but unironically

Ok gamers: you're in charge of making Gen 4 for StarsEN. What kind of characters you putting on there and/or what "expansions" to the lore would you prioritize?

>>68688944
stars management is filled with yume and fujo now, just look at how doppelganger turned out

>>68689001
>long-time beta-testers.
genuinely never heard that, where'd that come from?

>>68689001
>NPC awakening
I always interpreted this not as NPC, but PC awakening.
People, who entered Utopia abandoned their former lives. And when Records Corruption happened, something happened to motivator/suppressor programming, and some people started to remember their former lives and. quote "question the validity of Utopia". And the song "Always Tied" is not about being tied together, but being tied to the Hollow Tree, which is the source of this motivator/suppressor programming.

>>68689215
please tell me in what way doppleganger shows that management is full of yumes and fujos. The only yume thing I can see is maybe Shinri's route if you try really hard to see it as romantic. Otherwise you're just throwing buzzwords around

>>68689184
Oh! Shinri was teasing the Badlands back then?

>>68689200
Dunno what other characters I'd pair it with, but I'd so love an "avatar" of the Hollow Tree. Make it essentially the morally ambiguous overseer of Elysium that operates under everyone's noses. Also the ability to grow huge as the actual tree itself like Oga and Sana teehee

>>68689200
Normal-ish NPCs, a fisher (short-king), a blacksmith (with Ogas skin tone), a tailor (the Magni of the group), and a Medic (nough said there)!
Their stories will fill in all the cracks of the world like "what do the villagers thing of the gild/bandits" and "how does the corruption affect the normies?"

>>68689200
MONSTERS MONSTERS MONSTERS MONSTERS MONSTERS

If it were me, I'd honestly drop the digital world Sword Art Online angle and make it an honest-to-God Magitech universe

>>68689529
same, that would be kino...

>>68689397
To be fair, the more accurate assessment is that management understands that those types exist in droves within the StarsEN fanbase, and catered to them. While not directly romantic, the nature of the AU definitely appeals to and stimulates the minds of both groups.

>>68689529
Yeah same but isekai is still more popular than magitech
I can't even name a big IP with pure magitech

>>68689397
well they could've made a game that expands starsen's lore more but instead they chose to do some wattpad AU ass game

>>68689200
Shinri got immediately shot down by staff when trying to theorize a mastermind behind the corruption, so I want the mastermind character!

>>68689400
I believe he posted picrel just around the time that we got the very first teaser for Armis, which was just the tavern. It was what clued some people in that we were getting a new gen. He then posted the first one after the boys got revealed.

>>68689587
Make StarsEN the first household IP for magitech then, a gap in the market is a good thing

>>68689603
Ohhh, one day maybe, it could be an RPG that uses those old sprites, they would need to actually get game developers that and not done in house like Doppelganger

>>68689259
it's from Ruze considering his age, considering his lore but now that i think of it i dont think it belongs there. tee-hee~
>>68689328
huh. i've never thought of it that way, maybe since I've not listened to Always Tied to analyze it. somehow this also hurts when a graduation comes around.especially about MagVes since both were the wisest in the guild

>>68689200
I'd get somewhat meta and do a relatively normal group of humans from Earth who are revealed to be part of the developer team that does upkeep on keeping Elysium running. It's a clever way to break away from in-universe Elysium stuff if they wanted to experiment but still keeping ties with it for brand synergy.

>>68689200
some more magical/fantastical designs, or monsteresque. I can't be bothered to think too hard, I'm not gonna do covers work for them

>>68689200
Geographically, the new unit should be from the Northern part of Utopia, the icy and snowy region. And they should lean to European Imperial aesthetic.
Lorewise I'm really interested in the Hollow Tree itself and mysteries it holds.
One particular question, that we'll probably never get a definite answer to is what caused Records Corruption. Was it a bad actor within the system? If so, is he aware of the fact that he's a disembodied mind stuffed into a digital ideal world? Or maybe it happened due to an external factor? What if the "real" world succumbed to nuclear war or something, and there is nobody to maintain the servers any more?

>>68689868
I feel like that's a good idea for what management could've been characterized as if we didn't get the Gorimane incident.

>>68690010

also: rape

>>68690121
How Elysium exists alongside the real world has always been strangely murky, from the crumbs of anon we have. We know Altare is considered the first PC in Elysium, but literally no other context. Was he willing or forced? Can he return back to the real world? How exactly do you enter Elysium from the real world?

>>68690010

>>68690657

At least he didn't have to go first this time.

rest of thread

>>68690657
this is a great way to make yourself more nervous

>>68690799
No matter what anyone says, I believe that was the real reason why Axel went first. So Altare didn't have to.

>3am JST
you got this, leader

>>68690830
It's validation bait anon, he's gonna get like a thousand "you'll do fine, we'll always support no matter what!"

>>68690819
Is this supposed to be that chuuni inner monologue at the story climax that decides everything

>>68690951
yeah if fucks up he's gonna graduate himself

>>68690908
Yeah he’s got about 9hrs to get himself together.

>>68690657
please don't job live leader...

Why is he so fucking cringe

I blame the fans, for some reason the slimes get weirdly intense about Leader's leader status even though it's all kayfabe and make him out to be a bigger deal than I agruably think he's comfortable with in certain cases. I looked in the qrts of one of the countdown teasers and someone straight up claiming that he paved the way for all EN male vtubers and that's so important like......what are you talking about?! You're just putting unecessary pressure on the dude.

>>68690819
cute

>>68691171
He’s going to one way or another. What’s important is how he recovers afterwards.

>>68691247
hey he's just a nervous little guy, give him a break! But also: get the "wah" counter ready

https://twitter.com/josuijishinri/status/1756371934584127698

>>68691367
Not Altare, not anymore at least kek

>>68690908
>>68691148
more like 2, he has to pull up at the studio at 5am iirc?

>>68691171
He's going to, but that's part of the charm.

>>68690560
The fact that he's the "first adventurer" doesn't mean that he's the first PC. Utopia means as a "digital solution" to problems of the World, and I don't think that everyone was set to become adventurers in their new digital lives.
Still, that implies that he was at the very least one of the first wave.

>>68691367
Here's hoping Shinri's ISP actually lets him watch it live.

I hope that's some rp or hint to what he's doing because his lack of excitement has me less excited

>>68691363
When was the last time he did wahs? I only remember that being a thing for debut and he probably made a point of stopping

>>68691611
he hasn't had any hiccups this week so unless the universe decides to fuck with him tonight specifically, he's good

>>68691769
>unless the universe decides to fuck with him tonight specifically
Knowing his luck, this is very possible

>>68691803
yeah...

>>68691678
what are you even referring to?

>>68691536
Yeah but there is still time until it’s actually live. There is that nerve racking moment of putting on the suit and counting down though. I believe he’s going to pull through it.

>>68691769
don't jinx it please

Hey guys, I have been really busy these few days, any vods that are a must watch?

>>68692313
As someone that isn't too fan of Armis loudness and them being way too chaotic and unorganizated, was it fun? I was going to watch it regardless anyway

>>68691678
I'd rather he get it all out now than keep it and explode during the debut

ALTARE 3D

>>68692500
They're a bit chaotic at the start, but they do get settled into the game and have reasonable energy after that.

>>68692500
Ruze does a good job wrangling while also letting them be themselves. There are a couple of times he has to be firm with them but overall it’s pretty good.

I just want to give him the biggest hug rn, you got this little dude. Just roll with it

>>68692500
It was great. It took them a little time to get into it, but after about 30 minutes or so it's mostly smooth sailing. Ruze did a good job keeping it fun and positive without going too easy on them.

>>68692959(me)
Also you don’t have to worry about it being disorganized as it went much smoother than HQ’s run. Ruze does a good job of keeping them focused and explaining how stuff works, even making sure to double check himself.

this thread where shinri explained the corruption beasts was neat too

damn i've never seen ruze's chat so sleepy to this degree w/ no overlap, where is everyone today?

Why does it sometimes seem that Altare is extremely dumb

>>68695691
Yesterday was a long stream, some might need taking a break or catching up

does he live next to a club https://twitter.com/banzoinhakka/status/1756405368945578081

>>68696823
every house is a club in latin america

>>68696823
No, he just lives in Xenokuni where he has said that his retarded neighbors blast music on huge speakers.

>>68699004
Xenokunian.

>>68699004
...
He's from "Xenokuni"

>>68699052
But all of vg are from xenokuni

>>68698321
Altare OP is always welcomed

>>68699102
Fake fan, Flayon and Bettel are from Utopia.

>>68699102
Only Hakka and Shinri, that's why some anons refer to their ship as Xenokunians.

>>68699102
only half of vg are from Xenokuni, being Hakka and Shinri, Bettel and Flayon were sent to Xenokuni to look for people to recruit which is the lore reason why they debuted later than HQ

>>68698955
shinwi.......

>>68699102
You're wrong but also Hakka is IRL xenokunian

>>68699004
watch any handcam stream of his and you'll know why

I'm a little worried... at least good things are coming
