Re: PbP Interest Check

DG2 related question. am i understanding it right that an unarmed fighter is not allowed to do the up to 20 point swap for fighting defensively? you wording says a person with a weapon may do the swap.

Re: PbP Interest Check

I joined pretty late myself and found it just overwhelming to think about going through all of the threads and seeing what's happened where and when. Maybe, if it's not too much trouble, a seperate thread could be put up that keeps track of when things happen. As DG1 is coming to a close, it might not be as important to do so now, but it might be something to do for DG2. That is, of course, if Tassadar wants to put the extra time into it.
Now imagine being the GM and you NEED to read through and remember the goings-on in every thread. Plus reply to them all.

Actually, this is why in another forum-RP, I had tried to get the players themselves to create a universal update thread, through IC actions. Unfortunately it didn't work. But either way, expecting Tass to make MORE posts to everyone, to update us on overall ongoings, isn't very fair to him, nor reasonable to expect.

No, of course not. I can only imagine how hard it would be to GM a game like this, I was just floating the suggestion. However, for DG2, if someone else were to volunteer to take such a task upon themselves...

What I plan on doing once DG2 starts in full, is to go through all of the threads and write down, for my own referance, what goes on when and where. If people want, I could make the log public, or I could just keep it to myself. Now I know I'm not exactly a regular, and I joined this RP fairly late, but I would like to provide as much help as I can toward making in an enjoyable experiance for everyone. Still, DG2 is a ways off yet, and I've got university starting in september, so who knows if I'll have enough time to compile a log even for myself, let alone one suitable for public viewing, so consider this less of a commitment and more of a possability, assuming no one else decides to do this.

Re: PbP Interest Check

I'd definitely be willing to assist since I actually did read through all the threads a month or two back, but like Maikochan said I'd only start when DG2 hits.

Re: PbP Interest Check

From an IC standpoint, this would be easily accomplished if everyone created a central location they fell back to between trips to take on whatever tasks we have in DG2.

Characters could pass on information to one another and write down important information in a central log book, or post it on a notice board. Simple tidbits of information, like "Warning: Last time I was over by the docks, a powerful Daemon named Matthias blew up a large portion of the buildings."

In this way, characters who come here will actually obtain IC knowledge of the events, and be able to inspect or avoid certain areas. It also allows characters to keep certain things hidden if they'd rather not share information. Such as where a secret weapon cache is, or even lie about some ongoings.

Re: PbP Interest Check

The problem with that idea though, is certain characters have their own agenda/aren't on the same side as the majority. I know mine would have little reason/desire to go back to a "central area" over continuing her own business, unless there were free tea and scones being offered there or something.

Re: PbP Interest Check

Honestly, I prefer things pretty much the way they are now. I feel like the forced central place was one of the things that helped breed OOC drama for AWMBI. It also kinda forces a unified timeline, while I personally feel the fluid one we have now is more fun for individuals (even with the associated problems).

If I were planning the story for DG2, I think I'd arrange for there to be a few more neutral (or allied non-combat) NPC's about. They could say, "I just saw a huge explosion right at the demon gate, I'm getting the hell out of here!" or similar. That'd allow the conveyance of important information in-character, while allowing us to continue advancing at our own pace. The differing timelines cause a few problems, but I think they're worth it. Especially if some of the *really* major events are planned in advance, with outcomes decided by whoever gets there first.

Re: PbP Interest Check

I think also than we are fine. Anyone could leave a message using Cryptic (a magic of light lv 1) to alert of a danger or other things.

Agreed.

And @Kenny, yeah, I guess you could say your "lil late". '_'

Re: PbP Interest Check

There will be a brief recap of the story once the game wraps up, to make sure that people know what happened. If people want to make a thread and post what happened in their game up to this point, I can see to that. A lot of peoples stories sort of intersected on Day 3, Night, but I couldn't let any of them stick together.

DG2 is going to have a story only slightly related to DG1, with different villains. Also, instead of 1 town, people will be scattered all over the place, with a handful of different starting locations. And I'd like to reiterate that people can start off together in DG2. It's a bit early, but it wouldn't hurt to start thinking about it.

@Kenny: Yeah, you're a little late. You can sign up for DG2, but I'm not sure when that's starting.

Oh wait, are we signing up for that already? It seems like it's still quite a ways off, but sign me up in the interest of making sure I have a spot whenever you do start it.

Powers: Battle Aura: Think glowing anime character and you've got a good idea of what this does. Energy cost is 5 + X activation and then X upkeep. Increases melee damage, Speed, to-hit, and Dodge by 3X. Characters with this active cannot attempt to be stealthy.

Flight: Self explanatory. Costs 3 + X energy to activate, and X energy per turn to maintain. Can move 5X feet per round. Can carry another person with them, but this doubles the upkeep cost.

Power Surge: The user sends forth a cone or ball of energy, dealing massive damage to massed enemies. Costs X to activate, and deals Xd6 + 3X damage to all enemies within a 10 foot radius of any spot within 50 feet of the caster, or all enemies within a 20 foot 90 degree cone.*

Instant Transmition: Costs 10X to activate, and allows the user to teleport themselves and anyone who is touching them to anywhere they've been within X miles.

Holy Wall: Creates a wall that no being may pass without your permission or by winning a (Your Spirit x (1 + X)) vs (Enemies Spirit) check. Costs 3 + X energy to activate and X energy to maintain. In addition, demons touching it take 2d6 x X damage.
Cudgel of the Blessed: Summons a club made of spiritual power. Costs 5 + X to activate and X to maintain. Allows the wielder to strike a creature with it for 2Xd10 + Spirit/5 damage. This damage ignores all armor and pain resistances. The user can summon and attack with it in the same turn.*

Inventory:
The weapons and armor you have, along with any other minor items you gain in your travels.*

Bio/Description:
Illyandria was born from the rare cross breeding between a High Elf and a Fey Lord. Her mother was devout, just, noble and righteous High Elf priestess of a powerful circle of spirit users who followed the Fey Lords and gods. Her father was high ranking Fey Lord servitor, who fell in love with one of their most faithful followers. As such Illyandria was born with both all the blessings and curses of the two races. She received her enhanced strength and iron spirit as well as her Ironbane curse from her parents. As such she can only special magically crafted living plant and wood armor designed for members of the Fey Lord race. Her skin is a light tan, almost pale golden color, her eyes are a shining green, like that of emeralds and jade. She is tall, slender and shapely, with c-cup breasts; she has long flowing golden blond hair and the long pointed ears of the elven people. She is skilled with using a wooden cudgel for attack but often prefers to switch out with her spiritually powered one instead, and has a penchant for utilizing her spirit powers for max effectiveness in place of pure physical combat, using her powers to increase her already impressive abilities.

Re: PbP Interest Check

Going to try making a character using DG2 rules. :)

Name: Leili
Class: Mage (Dark Witch)
Race: Night Elf

Body: 8 +4 =12
Mind: 34+4+16 = 54
Spirit: 8

Hit Points:43
Pleasure to Orgasm: 64
Spirit Energy: 41
Speed: 6
Dodge: 37
Armor: AV:1
Resistance: 27

Experience: 0
Corruption: 0

Talents:
Perceptive
Strong of Mind x2
Concentration
Focus in Entropy
Focus in Nature

Flaws:
Open Soul
Demon Lover
Horny Slut
Fey Lover
Beast Lover


Base Casting:27+8=35
Favored Element: Entropy and Nature

Inventory: Clothes, Dark Staff, satchel bag.

Notes:

Bio/Description: Leili is the daughter of a powerful Night Elf High Priestess, who has eschewed the spirituality of her family's sect to study the eroding properties of nature. She is a learned scholar, but very rebellious and sure of herself, to the point of being overconfident. She has taken many lovers within her mother's spiritual conclave, and has been a somewhat corrupting influence with her love-making amongst the neonates, causing some embarrassment to her family. As a punishment for her behavior, her mother has sent Leili to practice her skills in a distant land.

Leili stands at 5'7", with smooth purplish-blue skin, and long flowing, dark blue hair. Her breasts are on the petite side, but she is endowed with perfect hourglass curves and shapely legs, which she loves to show off by wearing provocative and revealing silks, usually dark green in color.

How far off is DG2 from starting?

Re: PbP Interest Check

Here's the bad news: I'm probably not going to post tonight. I just don't have the will to do so right now.

And here's the worse news: I'm going to be leaving for a week, and won't get back to my computer until next Sunday. I'm probably going to be busy all this weekend, so don't expect me to post, though I will if it's possible. Then, I'm going back to school the next day. So, it's going to be a while before I can post again.
