Getting Started

Playing RPG Thunder is easy and fun! We'll help you get started.

## Registering with the bot

If you haven't played before, the first thing you need to do is register with the bot! This will create your account, and let you choose a class.

By default, all commands to communicate with RPG Thunder will start with a $, but server admins can change the prefix, so it may vary by server.You can see the server's prefix using `rpgthunder prefix`

## How To Register

`To register, simply type: $register`

The bot will then list out all of the available classes you can choose from (More coming soon!). Read through the classes, and decide which one you'd like to play as. They are all unique in their own way. Once you choose a class, there's no going back, so choose wisely!

## How To Choose Class

 Warrior

* Warriors are true fighters and experts at melee combat. Preferring to mix offensive power with defensive ability, warriors prefer to use a good sword or axe with a shield and shrug off attacks with heavy armor. The mix between attack and defense makes the warrior a viable class in all types of content.

 Archer

* An archer is an evasive marksman capable of hitting targets from great distances making them one of the classes with the most accuracy. Using their bow and quiver they hit fast and hard. The archer is build around balancing your attack and accuracy stat to the sweet spot. Being able to take gambles using huge hitting abilities with lower hit chance, or less hard-hitting abilities with higher accuracy making them deal critical damage. This diversity makes an archer hard to master.

 Mage

* Mages are those that devote their lives to the study and practice of the Arcane arts. An experienced mage can be a deadly force to reckon with. Their deadly abilities make them excel at turn-based combat and definitely an important hero in your group.

To choose the class you want, simply type the following in any text channel RPG Thunder is in, replacing {class} with the class you’d like to choose: `{class}`

Have you wonder what abilities your class gets?

* For warriors check Warrior abilities
* For archers check Archer abilities
* For mages check Mage abilities

Now you're ready to go on an adventure! You start out in the small city of Ashsquare, but can later travel to over 26 different cities and areas! Your main goal will be to level up. You can achieve this in many different ways. We'd recommend checking out the section on Basic Commands to get an idea on what you can do!
Do You Want To Know A Secret

## "Do You Want to Know a Secret"Song by Declan McKenna

"**Do You Want to Know a Secret**" is a song by The Beatles that was covered by Declan McKenna. It was released to SoundCloud for 24 Days of Christmas on 21 December 2020.

## Background

The cover was intended for an unknown holiday commercial in 2018, but rejected for being too upbeat. It later appeared among *Zeros* demos in a censored file list on 7 January 2019.

Declan rediscovered the cover and tweeted that it would be an upcoming 24 Days of Christmas release on 19 December 2020.

## Lyrics

You'll never know how much I really love you

You'll never know how much I really care

Listen

Do you want to know a secret

Do you promise not to tell

Closer

Let me whisper in your ear

Say the words you want to hear

I'm in love with you

Listen

Do you want to know a secret

Do you promise not to tell

Closer

Let me whisper in your ear

Say the words you want to hear

I'm in love with you

I've known this secret for a week or two

Nobody knows, just we two

Listen

Do you want to know a secret

Do you promise not to tell

Closer

Let me whisper in your ear

Say the words you want to hear

I'm in love with you

Brenley Farm album

## ***Brenley Farm album***Studio album by Declan McKenna

The **Brenley Farm album** is an unreleased version of Declan McKenna's second major-label album, *Zeros*. This version of the album featured different production and a partially different set of songs, among other changes.

## Background

After writing a majority of the songs that would appear on the final *Zeros*, Declan decided that he wanted to record the album with his touring band members, in order to capture a live feel. In February of 2019, they recorded eleven songs at Brenley Farm in Kent, England. On production and engineering duty were past collaborator Max Marlow ("Brazil", "Howl") and newcomer Ru Lemer. Willy Bish was also able to take part in the instrumentation, while visa issues prevented him from doing so on the final album.

Though intended as demos, the songs have been described as "not far off being the real deal". Regardless, these recordings were completely discarded, and the final version of the album was recorded with Jay Joyce at Neon Cross in Nashville, Tennessee several months later.

The unused sessions were referenced in the closing lyrics of "The Key to Life on Earth" — "Come work on Brenley Farm and we can shut your mouth". Additionally, Max Marlow is credited with co-writing four of the songs on the final album. Despite the original tracks never being released or previewed in any capacity, behind-the-scenes images from the sessions were included in the *Zeros* album booklet and zine, and were further shared on Instagram as part of 24 Days of Christmas.

## Recording list

Dylan Kelly

Unnamed Father

Quinn Kelly (Younger Brother)

Samantha Kelly (Younger Sister)

Zach Ward

## History

### Prior to 1999

Dylan was born on December 29th, 1998, making him nine days old on Jason's date of birth.

### After 1999

On September 4th, 2001, Dylan and his entire family moved from the United Kingdom to New York City, USA.

### 2004

Dylan's father died on June 25th, 2004 due to cancer. His mother and younger twin siblings then moved in with his grandparents.

### 2008

During Dylan's third year of primary school, he met Jason in his homeroom class. The two of them then bonded over their love for music.

### 2011

Once primary school ended, both Dylan and Jason moved to secondary school. After being picked on by a few eight graders, they met Zach, a seventh grader, who had defended them. A few weeks later, the three of them met an Australian exchange student named Lydia, who they almost instantly became friends with. At the end of the year, Dylan asked Lydia out and they soon began dating.

### 2013

After meeting Alec at the beginning of eight grade, Dylan's friend group almost instantly became friends with him as well, learning that Alec had recently moved from Uptown New York to Downtown New York.

Four months later, Dylan was quick to assist Alec with his plan for asking out Jason after observing the way he acted around him and coming to the conclusion Alec had feelings for Jason.

### 2019

On February 14th, both Dylan and Alec proposed to their love interests, both of them saying yes.

Months later, after Alec was killed in a hit and run, he attended his funeral, trying his hardest to cheer up Jason, who had recently gotten engaged to Alec. After months of no luck, he gave up, admitting he didn't have the happy atmosphere Alec had.

### 2021

In early March of 2021, Dylan and Lydia got married.
The seaside

## "The Seaside"Song by Declan McKenna

"**The seaside**" is a song by the English musician Declan McKenna, included as the B-side for the original 2014 release of "Brazil". It was self-released on 4 December 2014. The song was written and produced entirely by Declan himself.

## Lyrics

If I should die before I wake

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you

If I should go far away

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you, ooh

If I should cry

Then wake me up and take my tears away as they softly fall

Beside the seaside

I watch, look up at my life, then I swiftly forget it all

I don't need magic anymore

So please leave me alone, Professor McGonagall

Please will you be patient 'cause the outcome is amazing

If you wait till you've got it all

Ooh, ooh

If I should die before I wake

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you

If I should go far away

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you

If I should lie

Then wake me up and tell me that my life isn't over yet

What's with this beside

And I don't know where I'm going and I think that I want the less

Oh so you want to be a wonderman

Well you've gotta try hard to reason

'Cause it's all you've learned about

And you've gotta be watchful

If I should die before I wake

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you

If I should go far away

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you, you, ooh, ooh

If I should die before I wake

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you

If I should go far away

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you

If I should die before I wake

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you

If I should go far away

Would you take my final wish and make it come true

It's you, you, ooh, ooh

If I should cry

Then wake me up and take my tears away as they softly fall

Beside the seaside

I watch, look up at my life, then I swiftly forget it all

I don't need magic anymore

So please leave me alone, Professor McGonagall

Please will you be patient 'cause the outcome is amazing

If you wait till you've got it all

Ooh, ooh

"**The Chain**" is a song by Fleetwood Mac that was covered by Declan McKenna during a set for BBC Radio 2, alongside performances of "Bethlehem" and "Paracetamol". The cover was initially aired and released by BBC on 9 June 2016, but has since been lost to time.

## Lyrics

Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise

Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies

And if you don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still hear you saying

You would never break the chain

And if you don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still hear you saying

You would never break the chain, break the chain

Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night

Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies

Break the silence, damn the dark, damn the night

And if you don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still hear you saying

You would never break the chain

And if you don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still hear you saying

You would never break the chain

And if you don't love me now

You will never love me again

I can still hear you saying

You would never break the chain, break the chain

Chain keep us together, running in the shadow

Chain keep us together, running in the shadow

Chain keep us together, running in the shadow

Chain keep us together

Midwest

## "Midwest"Song by Declan McKenna

"**Midwest**" is a song by Declan McKenna, released in October 2016 as the vinyl B-side to "Isombard". The song is notable for being the only B-side from the *What Do You Think About the Car?* era to never appear as part of an EP or album, as well as for being the only B-side that is purely instrumental.

## Background

Declan created "Midwest" in a van while on tour in the United States. He's described it as having gone from "this Radiohead thing into this sorta super strange upbeat electro thing", noting that it remained instrumental and electronic because of the technical limitations of producing music in a van.

## Lyrics

Macbeth

They love you to death

So don't break their hearts

Jesus, boy

That would be the end of you for sure

They want so much more

And they cannot know what you did

Haunting dreams and taunting kids, oh

Almost sincere you are

With your champagne and caviar

Will make a fine feast for the death

Of old Macbeth

Is it a normal day for ya

In what is left of Northern California

Macbeth

Was it always so easy

To mock our dreams and rip up our treaties?

Macbeth

She loves you to death

Don't be a fool

Man alive

Absent victims don't survive

Macbeth

They ask for your death

So be careful now

Holy cow

What's it to ya, what's wrong now?

You've tied your tongues up wrong

Awful fun but what you want

About this world but now you've up and left

Macbeth

Is it a normal day for ya

In what is left of Northern California

Macbeth

Was it always so easy

To mock our deaths and rip up our treaties?

Macbeth

It doesn't matter at all to you

Macbeth

I Am Everyone Else

## "I Am Everyone Else"Song by Declan McKenna

"**I Am Everyone Else**" is a song by the English musician Declan McKenna, recorded and released for his debut major-label album, *What Do You Think About the Car?*. It was released on 21 July 2017 along with the album. The song was written entirely by Declan himself, and was produced by James Ford.

>
> McKenna explaining the song.

## Lyrics

Children on the street

The cowardly and scared

And powerfully prepared

For things I dare not speak of in all of my lifetime

For I am ready

Mother nature calls

And beckons them to come

The innocent and done

To witness persecution for my privilege

For I am ready

To turn the many into some

Before you run out of rhyming words for scum

Why'd you act sick and pretend

Pretend that you've never known it?

Aren't you just sick of spending

All your time getting noticed?

You showed me the message you sent

And act like you never wrote it

Well, aren't you just sick of your friends

Your friends with ulterior motives?

'Cause I am everyone else

I am everyone else

I am everyone else

I am everyone else, I

I am insecure

As pretty as I seem

It's a recurring theme

I've never heard much different in all of my lifetime

For I am ready

I love and care for you

As ugly as you are

You're precious, you're a star

Your energy is admirable at the most

For I am ready

To reconsider what you have

Before you run out of rhyming words for chav

Why'd you act sick and pretend

Pretend that you've never known it?

Aren't you just sick of spending

All your time getting noticed?

You showed me the message you sent

And act like you never wrote it

Well, aren't you just sick of your friends

Your friends with ulterior motives?

'Cause I am everyone else

I am everyone else

I am everyone else

I am everyone else, I

Twice Your Size

## "Twice Your Size"Song by Declan McKenna

"**Twice Your Size**" is a song by Declan McKenna from his fourth album, *Zeros*.

## Lyrics

Regardless of the motive

Blood will spill if you shoot for the lungs

You will kill

You will speak in tongues

You will rest your heart for a day or two

Following the trail of a race that included you, and only you

Well done you come and get your prize

Listen to the man online for his good advice

Cut your hair cause it's full of lies

Well it only means half as much when you say it's twice, twice your size

Regardless of what you believe in

Earth will change

And we must grab our pets

And get off out of range

The sun will melt what it can touch

But don't worry too much

As you turn to stone

And the stone returns to dust

And wouldn't that be so nice

Listen to the man online for his good advice

Cut your hair cause it's full of lies

Well it only means half as much when you say it's twice, twice your size

And wouldn't that be so nice

Cut your hair cause it's full of lies

Well it only means half as much when you say it's twice, twice your size

## Lyrics

30 White Horses on a red hill,

Stomping on come to a stand still,

Falling down to reach the shore,

For Little Pieces on the floor,;

How do I cope with no Little Pieces?

What's the future hold? Well this is,

All we've got for now,

The people are without the water for hours,

And all the people, are watching and,

All the people, they want is,

No Little pieces in My head,

But warm water and cold bread,

Little Pieces in the sky, on which we all rely,

Make my life not what it was,

And my Kingdom on a horse.

I see, no future and

I see, a world on a touch screen,

unusual love scene,

but usually nothing,

A world that is starving,

And you're never far in the,

the world, a girl,

is lying on the cold hard grououound

And all the people, are watching and,

All the people, they want is,

No Little pieces in My head,

But warm water and cold bread,

Little Pieces in the sky, on which we all rely,

Make my life not what it was,

And my Kingdom on a horse.

Watch the sea, see the wave, see the mighty shark,

See the life, see the life, see the life, its ours

Watch the day, see the night, see the sky is dark,

Watch the sea, see the wave, see the mighty shark,

And all the people, are watching and,

All the people, they want is,

No Little pieces in My head,

But warm water and cold bread,

Little Pieces in the sky, on which we all rely,

Make my life not what it was,

And my Kingdom on a horse.

Fear for some and what they become.

## "Fear for some and what they become."Song by Declan McKenna

"**Fear for some and what they become.**" is the seventh track from Declan McKenna's debut album, *TRIBES*. It was self-released alongside the album to Bandcamp on 1 March 2014 but has since been removed.

## Lyrics

If I gave you an answer

Would you settle for it slowly?

If I gave you my wisdom

Would you say that you know me?

I, I

And he goes with what he knows

For he cannot make sense of the current events

And he prays that every day

Will not lead to the one where he's left with no gun

On his own

So fear for some and what they become

If I took to your kingdom

Would you make my life easy?

And if I gave you an order

Would you take it to please me?

And he goes with what he knows

For he cannot make sense of the current events

And he prays that every day

Will not lead to the one where he's left with no gun

And no army to protect him

He'll be kicked right from his throne

Dreading the day where he's left out on his own

On his own

(Fear for some and what they become)

Fear for some and what they become

Cause they won't follow hope along and

And I won't

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow, ooh

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow, I will not follow

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow

No tomorrow, I will not follow, I will not follow

And he goes with what he knows

For he cannot make sense of the current events

And he prays that every day

Will not lead to the one where he's left with no gun

With no army to protect him

He'll be kicked right from his throne

Dreading the day where he's left out on his own, on his own

So fear for some and what they become

Elephant

## "Elephant"Single by Declan McKenna

"**Elephant**" is a song by Declan McKenna. It was released for a limited time from 22 April to 5 May 2022 as a charity single for EarthPercent.

## Background

For Earth Day 2022, EarthPercent asked musicians to each contribute one new recording to raise money for their work in fighting climate change. For every track sold via Bandcamp, a minimum of £1.30 went towards the charity's grantmaking program. The initiative included previously unreleased songs, live versions and artist collaborations.

Declan released "Elephant", an unfinished demo, on 22 April and announced that it would only be available for two weeks. It remains unknown at what point the song was written or recorded, though the cover artwork used an image from the 2021 music video for "My House".

## Lyrics

There's an elephant in the cupboard, son

Keep him on the run

Help him survive

I've got an elephant in the cupboard

But I can't keep a cactus alive

If I'm so sentimental to believe you all the while

Then there will be no time for loving your life

Time for loving your life

I believe them all now

They're drowning me out

I'm not so sentimental

Well, it's easier to doubt everyone

Would rather fall out

No need for time for loving your life

Time

I need you more now

It's freaking me out

Unresolving gestures

You can read me right out

Gonna take my clothes off

Let it all hang out

As we all consider ourselves unlike anybody else

And we all consider ourselves unlike anybody else

There's an elephant in the cupboard, mate

Keep him up to date

Keep him alive

You were missed amongst the final race

Out of place

It never felt more right

I ain't trying to fight your bitter needs your whole life

Cause there will be no time

For love is no time

No time for loving your life

No time for loving your life

Jeannie's Diary

## "Jeannie's Diary"Song by Declan McKenna

"**Jeannie's Diary**" is a song by Eels that was covered by Declan McKenna and released by Radio X to YouTube on 16 July 2020.

## Lyrics

How does her world spin

Without me in her nest?

Could there really be such happiness?

Oh, she's got a dark side too

Even murderous

But I love that

Just like her

I don't have a chance at writing the book

I just want to be a page

In Jeannie's diary

One single page

In Jeannie's diary

Yes I am intense

Maybe quite obsessed

Everything she does is curious

Oh, she's gonna let me in

I just know it's so

Then again, who do I kid?

I don't have a prayer for writing the book

I just want to be a page

In Jeannie's diary

One single page

In Jeannie's diary

She could have anything she wants

But why not me?

She could have anything she please

Oh, to be one single page

One single page

In Jeannie's diary

Humongous

## "Humongous"Single by Declan McKenna

"**Humongous**" is a song by the English musician Declan McKenna, recorded and released for his debut album, *What Do You Think About the Car?*. It was released on 9 June 2017 as the album's third single, along with its music video. The song was written entirely by Declan himself, and was produced by James Ford.

## Theme

> This was the last song I wrote for the record, not to pick a favourite child but I think this might be, definitely a step in the direction I’m heading in, I love big powerful choruses that you can just scream, and I wanted this to be one of those. I remember writing it just sat home alone with my sister’s guitar in complete euphoria with only a chorus written and nothing else, just shouting the words which are super vague but just summed up all the confusion and frustration I’ve had the last two years.
>
> Declan talking about the song.

## Lyrics

Rosanna: Dec, what do you think about the car? Do you like it?

Declan: I think it's really good, and I'm gonna sing my new album now.

Don't tag me along, to your show, to your broadcast

I know, I'm good at letting go,

And then tag me along, with your rules, with your promise,

I swear, you spend too much time on your phone and on your hair,

Do you care?

I'm big, humongous, enormous and small,

and it's not fair, that I am nothing and nobody's there.

Do you care?

I'm big, humongous, enormous and small,

and it's not fair, that I am nothing and nobody's there.

Do you care?

Don't tell me I'm not, I'm not smart or I'm not worthy,

I know I couldn't let that go,

and then tag me along with your hate and with your envy,

I swear to God I cannot take you anywhere!

Do you care?

I'm big, humongous, enormous and small,

and it's not fair, that I am nothing and nobody's there.

Do you care?

I'm big, humongous, enormous and small,

and it's not fair, that I am nothing and nobody's there.

Do you care?

Do you care?

I'm big, humongous, enormous and small,

and it's not fair, that I am nothing and nobody's there.

Do you care?

Do you care?

Godspeed, up, slowpoke it's peak -

I'm gonna throw up.

OH BABY when will you grow up

Cause you've been such a joke this week,

You think you're funny,

when you're talking all loud and your nose is all runny. ha

## Trivia

Sonny

## "Sonny"Song by Declan McKenna

"**Sonny**" is an unreleased song by Declan McKenna, intended for his fourth studio album, *Zeros*.

## Background

On 10 April 2019, Declan claimed on an Instagram Story that one of the songs on his then-upcoming album was named after professional footballer Son Heung-min. He then shared a screenshot of the demo, labeled "Sonny.mp3" with a length of 3:58, being previewed on his phone.

In a 2020 interview with NME, Declan expressed that "Sonny" should have been included on *Zeros*, but that "Eventually, Darling" was chosen instead to be the final track. He considered releasing this song as a gift for the fans after *Zeros* hit #2 on the UK Albums Chart, but this plan never came to fruition.

## Composition

"Sonny" is a slow song with a very similar ending to "Eventually, Darling". Barks from two Great Danes that were in the studio can be heard at the start of the track. Declan has confirmed that the lyrics aren't actually about Son Heung-min, which suggests Sonny might be a character created for *Zeros* like Daniel.

TRIBES (song)

## "TRIBES"Song by Declan McKenna

"**Tribes**" is the third and title track from Declan McKenna's debut album, *TRIBES*. It was self-released alongside the album to Bandcamp on 1 March 2014 but has since been removed.

## Lyrics

Will you understand the problems that we face deep down inside?

Obey this set of rules and use them as a scripture for your life

And you, you will be grateful too

Should we spend time

Under the night

Until we fly

You've gotta be the leader to decide

I deserve better because I've had better earnings from the start

Will you understand it's value and not what is in your heart

And I, I would be grateful too

Should we spend time

Under the night

Until we fly

You've gotta be the leader to decide

I take because I never understood your mortal folk's request

I get because for us, life is just another bloody test

And we, we are so grateful too, ooh

Should we spend time

Under the night

Until we fly

You've gotta be the leader to decide

When will you understand the problems that we face deep down inside?

Obey this set of rules and use them as a scripture for your life

And I, I would be grateful too

Mulholland's Dinner and Wine

## "Mulholland's Dinner and Wine"Song by Declan McKenna

"**Mulholland's Dinner and Wine**" is the fifth track on Declan McKenna's third album, *What Happened to the Beach?*. It was released on 18 January 2024.

## Background

Declan first referenced the song with a tweet reading "cosmic paper cups" on 6 December 2022.

The song was performed for the first time during a 2023 concert in Syracuse as part of The Big Return. At the request of Columbia Records, performances of new songs on the tour would have their titles obscured, this song being referred to as "**New Song II**".

The title was revealed in an article by *The Face* in September 2023, alongside "I Write the News". In a Discord chat on 15 September, Declan expressed confusion at fans knowing the title, suggesting its reveal in *The Face* was unauthorized. He then stated "if you lot don't lose your shit to 'Mulholland's', I'm giving up".[ref needed]

The song's title and track number were officially discovered by Discord member @anyaheyworld while playing The Beach on 29 November 2023.[ref needed]

## Composition

The song has been described by *The Face* as a "psych-pop wonder" reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens. It exists as one of only two explicit tracks on the album, along with "The Phantom Buzz (Kick In)".

## Lyrics

 I found love for the little things in life,

I’m not satisfied with what I want

We’ll stop time, if you’re a little bit lonely

There’s no guarantee, but it’s all that I want

We’ll take the golf cart into town, drive it around.

Just think of all the things we can do

Hold up some pubs and hope it pays, give me a raise

Fill up on junk at Supervalue (oooh)

I got a boring apartment, and all of the drugs

I’m fucking dangerous, I get what I want

I’ve got friends from a concert, falling in love

Got cosmic paper cuts, tearing me up,

I found love for the little things in life,

I’m not satisfied with what I want,

I'm back home for a little bit, lovely

Grand don’t come for free it’s tearing me up,

We’ll take the golf cart into town, drive it around,

Just don’t forget the things we rehearsed.

Write off the motor on your way, hope that it pays

And if it don’t just act-a-my worst, first

I got a boring apartment, all of the drugs

I’m fucking dangerous, I get what I want

Head up to Mulholland’s, for dinner and wine

It’s fucking go time, tell me to stop

I gotta hit up Mulholland’s, for dinner and wine

It's not the first time, and it's not what I want tonight

I've got a boring apartment, all of the drugs

It’s fucking dangerous, to get what I want
