I cannot, for the life of me, remember who plays the sad clown. This one is dedicated to you.

Decided to pixelate one of Dreamy's recent submissions.

can't wait to finish

More concept arts!! Here's a fun drawing of a city on Jargon 4

Seeing all the recent art submissions made me want to do a little as well. I don't have much but I'll upload stuff as it comes in. Here's Olivia just standing in the hall.

So changing my character's refrence pictures every few hours wasn't enough for me, and honestly so much shit happens in this game that I can't NOT want to draw it. First up though have a sparkly birb! And part 35432 of Sam has a Bad Day; Shadowling Edition! Stay out of maintenance, kids. I really wanted to draw a creepy looking shadowling, and of course I needed a handy victim. Not pictured - hapless bystanders coughRynnt that try to help and get rekt. Can you tell I suck at drawing hands? Working on Best Surgery Ever

https://nanotrasen.se/wiki/index.php/Roles The descriptions here could use an update. Merge the two sentences in the captain's description with an "and", and decapitalize "Make". Change the second sentence in the HoP's description to: "Issue job transfers and manage the crew manifest." Add "Oversee station repairs, construction projects, and the power grid." to the CE's description. Remove the "entire" from the RD's description, merge the two sentences with an "and", and change "standards" to "SOP". Add "Give advice to command regarding SOP." to the NTR's description, and remove the apostrophe from "it's". Change "or" to "and" in the magistrate's description. Change "any" to "all" in the BS's description. Change the warden's description to: "Oversee the brig and its prisoners, make sure security records are up-to-date, and issue gear from the armory." Replace the comma with an "and" in the pod pilot's description. Bump the difficulty up to "Hard" in order to keep it in line with the rest of security. Remove "Harass Central Command" from the IAA's description, and replace it with "Get ignored by everyone." Change the second sentence to: "Cooperate with the magistrate and Nanotrasen representative to ensure Space Law and SOP are enforced." The brig physician's description says that suicidal prisoners should be brought to the psych, but neither the psych or brig phys page mention suicidal prisoners. Change the first sentence of the description to: "Provide medical aid for security, including prisoners and visitors." Replace "Make" with "Construct", and decapitalize "Station" in the mechanic's description. I'm not sure what "Turn the borgs into swiss cheese when they get uppity" in the atmos tech's description means. It sounds like it falls under the RD's description, if anything. Change the MD's description to: "Attempt to provide medical aid for the crew, then cry as people steal all the medicine from the fridge. Preform surgeries and save lives." Change the virologist's description to: "Create beneficial viruses for the crew, cure epidemics, and get lynched for allegedly spreading the common cold. Be a neat-freak." Replace "discover ancient treasures" with "synthesize dangerous chemicals" in the scientist's description. Change the janitor's description to "Mop up dirt and assistant blood. Have your pimpin' ride stolen by a vox. Get lynched for not using space cleaner." Change the assistant's description to "Visit the station. Be an easily disposable greyredshirt. Attempt to provide assistance, get into fights anyways." Asking for grammar checks, as well as sanity checks on the more humorous descriptions.

Preface: Okay, so in response to the very clear want for changes to vampire mechanics, I made the following PR: https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/7462 Now, this PR was initially to prevent cheese which made the life of people trying to get their blood in the intended way even harder to to elevated security and valid hunters caused by these 5 minute screamers. While I think vampires are in a tolerable state, they have several flaws to their design that come together to create something that's too weak in the early game, requiring external robustness rather than use of powers to be effective, that turns into a monster once it's arbitrarily priced powers are unlocked. This Thread is intended to host the rebalance discussion. The goals of the redesign: Give the vampire an early game tool that can't be abused against readied players once discovered Make ability unlocks fit the ramping power and aggression themes vampires are supposed to have Reward better execution of captures with faster ramping without making imperfect captures prohibitively harmful. Now then, onto the proposed changes CURRENT Abilities Unlock Cost CD(s) --------------------------------------------------------- Rejuvinate 0 0 20 Glare 0 0 30 Hypnotize 0 20 180 Vamp Vision 100 N/A N/A Shapeshift 100 50 180 Disease 150 100 180 Cloak 150 0 1 Rejuv+ 200 N/A N/A Bats 200 75 120 Screech 200 30 180 Shadowstep 250 30 2 Mist Form 300 30 60 Enthrall 300 300 180 Full Power 500 N/A N/A Notes: One full body gets to bats Two unlocks all abilities Three unlocks full power No quiet options for first kill, prod or other stun is almost required for first kill to be able to strip headset in time. Stealthy options only available after first full drain. No real evasion tools until second kill mimimum. Forces vampire to expose self early. Only solid counter is to not use powers for first kill as you can't defend yourself or run. PROPOSED Abilities Unlock Cost CD(s) --------------------------------------------------------- Rejuvinate 0 0 20 Glare 0 0 30 Hypnotize 0 0 180 Changed Vamp Vision 100 N/A N/A Shapeshift 100 50 180 Shadowstep 150 30 5 Longer CD, Lower Unlock Cloak 150 0 1 Rejuv+ 200 N/A N/A Disease 200 100 180 Higher Unlock, More deadly later Bats 250 75 120 Higher Unlock Screech 250 30 180 Higher Unlock Enthrall 300 300 180 Mist Form 400 30 60 Higher Unlock Full Power 600 N/A N/A Higher Unlock Notes: One full body unlocks all stealth and subversion techniques. Makes darkness far more valuable as cloak and shadowstep unlock at same time with solid interactions Two unlocks abilities that allow the vampire to get loud and aggressive Three unlocks full power New hypnotize details: Ranged stun in similar vein as sling stun. Requires both caster and victim to stand still for duration of cast time. Upon success, target is stunned and muted for a short time (roughly enough time to strip a headset if you're near them when you cast.) Has long CD on success, but no blood cost. Additionally, wearing flash protection blocks the visible message for the vampire, but roughly doubles cast time New hypnotize allows vampire to play more into the roll of subtle dissident in the early game for the first kill or two before people wise up to their shenanigans. Note that this ability can't be used on moving targets or while stunned or blindfolded. It's also not particularly effective if you can't make people stop to do something like talking, for instance. Get out there and RP your victim into an early grave. Blood counts for abilities focus on deception and stealth early with aggressive abilities unlocking later. Additionally, two perfect kills or three imperfect kills are now needed to mist which should reinforce the stealth aspect of the vampire in the early to midgame while not fully denying a wellplayed set of kills granting higher powers. Full power now requires about three perfect kills. This is due to the inability to accurately test a full power vamp short of spacing. Overall, this should be more representative of the intent for the vamp to ramp up in power and thus aggression over time. It still punishes poor play early, but vampires have always had the weakness of being a tator without gear in the early game. If played right, this would mean a vampire is capable of being self sufficient against isolated targets that it can convince to stop running around. The actual stun time here is also important, perhaps scaling inversely with range, or even scaling cast time with range so that being closer results in faster casts at the cost of subtlety.

This has probably been brought up in the past and is probably a pain in the ass code wise, but I figure I'd ask. Is it possible to make a preference option that makes it so your character can be randomized if you spawn as an antag? Kind of like how you are a completely different person a nuke op? Im literally only asking because I don't like when my snowflake is an antag, but enjoy antagging. Is this something I could ask an admin for at round start? Also asking because anyone who knows my toon KNOWS I only work sec and medbay, so when I randomly spawn as a bartender or engineer, some people will know something is up lol It's okay if the only response is "suck it up" lol

Dont forget, he takes Etherpatches for Meth Patches too

AHHHH Then I understand! Thank you, I'll go over it soon if nobody else takes up on it.

I totally feel that about seeing people even if you don't interact. Just noticing some people regularly and sometimes being noticed by other people is rad. It feels like I'm actually part of a crew of people working on a station together. Every shift another work day. Every time I dont see someone I normally play with, they took a vacation or sick day. Thinking of things like that help add to my immersion and stuff.

It's so cute and nice pixelization.

AAAAAAHHH! The pixel version is too cute.

Reduce the cost to Enthrall. 300 is ridiculus.

I should be working right now, but I want to give my two cents as a security player. Vampires are very underpowered, but excel in movement. Maybe we could push that aspect even further? Oh, and make vampires actually burn in space. The burn damage right now is laughable.

Cause I enjoy doing concept art at times, I thought I'd draw up some Skrell formal wear
