Hello!
Anyways, I have rolled a Waste of Rain. This is my first time rolling a cataclysmic title.
FAQs have told me that there should be some kind of cataclysmic event that happens in the session, but the entire thing has been going pretty smoothly (other than the elimination of a PK).
Should I be worried?

Have you considered the fact that the cataclysm you're destined to create may not, in fact, be against you and your friends? You may be destined to completely wreck your enemies' shit.

Awesome, thanks.
I'll try to keep my apocalypses directed solely at the opponents.

Hahaha, keep up the wishful thinking, Theseus. Cataclysms never really happen that way.
I don't have suggestions, but for Skaia's sake remember a general guideline: If someone tells you that it's stupid, chances are that it is.
Good Luck.

I'm a first-time player, the Waste of Breath. From all the FAQs I've been given, and the words of my time plaler, "dont worry. youre just going to ruin everyones day.", is there any possible way to mitigate the disaster that I'm going to be responsible for? Should I find a bunker about five miles down and wait until the worst is over? Or is it an impossible ida, like not descecrating a tomb?

Ugh. I don't actually have a lot of experience with cataclysmic classes, having never been one myself. Still, it's possible, right? ...Right?

Your cataclysm is inevitable, and because Sburb is a dick, trying to avoid it may be what ends up causing it.
Listen to your Seer. Even if he's a jerk, listen to him. Same for your other players.
Keep an eye on any prophecies involving you. If you think you know what your inevitable meltdown will be, clear it with the Seer and try to minimise the impact.
It's still going to be terrible, but a bit of planning should be able to avoid permadeaths or rendering your session completely unwinnable. Don't aim for anything more than that.

If you have a Grace as well, U.U. with her. Sometimes the cataclysms cancel out in part. I am not sure how well it worked for us when we did, but probably not that bad since we are still alive. Weird session, but we are.

Bards, and sometimes Princes, can also do the cancelling out thing in theory. I mean, even then things are still pretty bad and someone is likely gonna die, but having a Destroyer class on hand can sometimes end the cataclysm before it gets too terrible.

I had my first session with a Bard and a Prince and they (sort of?) ended up cancelling each other out. It was the Prince of Rage and the Bard of Life. Long story short both went off their rocker and us other players freaked out a lot but then it worked itself out when the Prince did some sort of shooshing thing...cause apparently the Prince destroys their aspect so she destroyed the Bard's rage and made him stop rampaging around and fucking up shit?
Yeah either way they've always been best friends, so maybe that's it. Either way when all that blew over there was a metric fuckton of control damage to see to.

Oh god oh fuck oh shit
Ok you guys were right, I just caused the cataclysm shit. Basically here's how shit went down.
Hegemonic Brute went Ringwraith. Our session accidentally prototyped with a picture of Captain Falcon and also a tapestry of some winged Mayan gods or something. He flew the fuck over to my land and (i swear to god) PUNCHED through the ground. He basically removed HALF MY PLANET. Mind you, I havent done the Clockwork Contrivances yet, so my Underworld was untouched. He surrounded his fist in RED MILES and basically REMOVED THE FUCK out of that bedrock layer. The angels ollied out of that fucking underworld like so many angry glowy assholes. I'm busy ducking under my Quest Bed. Last I saw HB was heading to the Outer Ring. I hope he doesn't fuck with the Elder Gods.
OH BALLS WHAT THEYRE HERE OH GOD
IM OUT I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS
PEACE OUT I HOPE I STAY ALIVE

I'm ok.
Did a pullup on my bed just as a fatal attack hit me. Landed on my bed. Got tiger.
Great, now that everyone's on Skaia and God Tier, we can face the Black King.
OOOOOOOOR WE COULD JUST GO AFTER THE RINGWRAITH YOU KNOW
Yeah I think we should take care of that first.
Also my rainbow garb is the coolest thing ever.

The Others... Do that. They sometimes enter sessions if threatened and then everything is suddenly shitty.
