Dice The Cycle of Magic

[xCRAZYxFACEx]

Here's the CS format you should use.


Name:


Race:


Appearance: can be a picture or a written description.


Equipment: what your character has brought with them, what they have. Can be armor, weapons, tools, miscellaneous, all that jazz.


Stats: remember, 90 points total plus your racial bonus and a maximum of 30 in any one stat.


Strength:


Dexterity:


Intelligence:


Endurance:


Intuition:


Prowess:


Luck:


Abilities: make sure to write a thorough description of the abilities here. As in what they do, how often, how powerful and such.


Simple Ability:


Simple Ability:


Advanced Ability:


Ultra Ability:


Background: This is where you give everyone the general backstory to your character, how they became who they are. You don't have to give everything away to begin with, but I do expect at least 2 paragraphs describing your character. Other than that, give as much or as little detail as you want (though a more thorough description would be much appreciated)

@xCRAZYxFACEx is it alright if you could put the character sheet info in the character sign up tab? Oh, and is it alright if we use a bit of code on our profiles?

 

[xCRAZYxFACEx]

@Detective Rascal I'll get on that, and go ahead! I don't mind some code at all.

Is it alright for there to be ranged weaponry besides bows? Maybe a simple rifle. Of course all things considered. Oh, and to be honest I don't I've ever done a Dice RP before, so if anyone would be willing to explain how that works that's great, I'm sorry for being new to this but it seems interesting!

Definitely. Simple rifles would be around, but wouldn't be too common. They'd also reload pretty slow, especially compared to a bow. On the plus side, they'll hit like a truck. Other than that, you can get a bit more detailed with what kind of ranged weapon you want. Long or short bow, crossbows, throwing knives, plus anything else you can think of. Which reminds me, Majin can have something resembling a hydraulic gun that shoots bolts of metal. But, that's even rarer than actual guns, and its limited to Majin. Just throwing out ideas for you to use!


As for dice RPs and how they work, I can give you a (very) general run down. You can have stats, skills, abilities, and so on, that affect what are called rolls. Rolls are done whenever you want to perform an action that has a chance of failing. For instance, opening a door would normally not have a chance of failing. But, say there's someone blocking the door. Or maybe there's a lock that's preventing you from opening it. In this RP, you might say to me that you want to barge past the opponent, or bash open the lock. Then you'd roll a dice with 100 faces (or whatever dice depending on the game) and add the Strength modifier to it. Or, you might try and dodge past the opponent, or try and pick the lock, in which case you'd roll and add your Dexterity modifier. Either way, if your roll is higher than your opponent's, or is higher than the difficulty threshold of the lock, you succeed and get past the door. If you don't roll higher, you don't get through the door, and you have to try again. Or something else might happen, depending on the situation.


That should be the gist of it, from what I know of dice games. Really, the biggest difference is that your stats affect your rolls, and your rolls will sometimes determine what you can and can't do. So in this game you'd still be writing for the most part, but your actions would be determined by the roll you got.


Hope that helps, and if it doesn't, don't be afraid to say so!

Fair enough, I think I get it. Appreciate it! I'm gonna re-read the overview and first post and I'll sign-up. I've played a ton of RPGs, so I hope this comes easy haha.


 
Please let me know if his abilities are overpowered. I tried to really only give him buffers. Mainly because in RPGs that is my playing style, I tend to rely on percentages. I read through the overview again after I posted, I attempted to correct the abilities and fit them to where they'd match on par with his stats boosting specific things were needed. I also apologize if it weren't meant for just battle. Yet, that is where I leaned.

 

[Detective Rascal]

I can't believe iti took me around 3 days to finally finish my profile! I hope everything is alright/okay. If not, I'll change things around.


 
@xCRAZYxFACEx I changed my ultra ability to 2 days wait time instead of 7 days.

 

[xCRAZYxFACEx]

Alrighty! I was hoping for one or two more people to join, but I think we've waited long enough. Anyone else that wants to join can, they'll just be coming in a bit later in the story. As for you two, I'll get to writing an IC post that'll introduce a sort of boss for you to report to for the search. After that you should write a post introducing your characters, and then we can start writing co-op style!

 

[xCRAZYxFACEx]

welp, I put up the first real post. Put up an introductory post, decide what you want to do, and we'll go from there when I bring up a google doc for us to work on. And even though this is a small group (for now, fingers crossed!) I'm not going to force your characters to work together. After all, what's the point of an RP if there isn't choice

 

[xCRAZYxFACEx]

Uhh... are you guys going to write something? I mean its been a few days and I don't want to rush you, but this can't really start without you two.
