@_Line 213 I posted a character already.

@_Line 213 What are your RPG systems and ideas?

I'll check out the profile, and also write some stuff up on the RPG elements tomorrow!

@_Line 213 Just so you know I edited the first paragraph of my post lol

 

[_Line 213]

Hey all, I've been super super sick for most of today, so apologies for not doing either of the things that I said I'd do above today. I'll get on them tomorrow instead.

 

[_Line 213]

So as far as systems go, there are a few things that we could look at.


The first would just be something simple, like a light D&D derivative, maybe with a few loose stats, in order to keep things a little loose. The second would be something more along the lines of GURPS, the lite version of which is available for free. GURPS tends to be a little dice-heavy, so depending on whether or not people want to leave a lot of things up to mechanics, I would or wouldn't recommend it.


On the other end of the spectrum is a system called FATE, which is mostly narrative-based, since it mostly functions off of free-form character traits that are used as part of the system. It's rather flexible, and cares less about building characters out of stats and skills, and more about using their concepts in order to manipulate the game. It also has an even faster and simpler version called FATE Accelerated, which, though super simple and fun, also doesn't feel very RPG-ish, in a traditional sense.


The last possibility would be something that's kind of a mash of FATE and GURPS that I put together a little while ago and sort of set aside that I call Fiddle, though it might be little complex, and I haven't actually tested it yet either.

I've never rped any sort of combat with any sort of mechanic other than illustrious and sensible writing. So I'm more inclined to the simplest of the lot, whichever that is. That being said, I'm ok with picking up whatever is decoded upon.

Note that we don't really have to use a system in the first place anyway; it's more there as an option, since some people like a little RPG-ishness to be added on to things like this, but it's not a necessity at all.

 

[_Line 213]

Gonna move things along later today, just wanted to give some of the others some time to post.

 

[Ceros]

@yonmita rae gotta say I'm digging your character so far. Her personality kind of reminds me of a sailor lol. One of the adventurous types

 

[JRPG]

Are we supposed to go to the Tavern?

We can find some way to pick you up on the way, if there's no way to get there right now!

 

[MrSquid123]

@_Line 213 what types of energy can the gapstones have

Welcome back everyone! I'll get around to answering questions and posting in the thread soon, but the first thing I'm going to do over the weekend is restructure all of the links to the various threads (because they're gone). The IC thread is here in the meantime, in case you lost it like I almost did.

See you all soon!

_Line 213 It's also worth suggesting that everybody fix their character sheet templates. I fixed mine but I'm not sure how to align the image now.

to fix the image, there should be a url within a url when you click on the image in edit mode. something like https://rpnation.com/somethingidk/http://whateverwebsite/image.xxx&key=randomnumbers

if you remove the "outer" rpnation link and "&key" and everything after, it should fix the image

 

[Drakerus]

Guess now's a good time to get started on my character sheet.

 

[_Line 213]

Once everyone's smaller scenes are complete, we'll continue! I had a very busy week, but thankfully things are far clearer now.

 

[Lekiel]

Still here... and as far as my character is, ready to move on

 

[_Line 213]

Would anyone be adverse to spurring things along with a timeskip?

 

[Ceros]

Would anyone be adverse to spurring things along with a timeskip?

I'd have no problem with that.

 

[Lekiel]

Not allergic

 

[MrSquid123]

Sorry I've taken a while things have been...chaotic. I'd be fine with a time skip I think we're all in a position to move on

 

[_Line 213]

I'll give that scene in progress another day or so, then I'll set up the timeskip so that we can get going.

Yeah sorry about that, the other person stopped responding ;_;

By the way do you mind linking the threads together again so it's easier to navigate between pages?

 

[_Line 213]

Ceros No worries! I figured that we would lose a person or two in the mess that the site revamp was due to create.

I've been meaning to link everything back together again, so I'll do that soon.

 

[_Line 213]

I'll go ahead and prep the timeskip and tag everyone tonight.

@yonmita rae @Lekiel @Ceros @MrSquid123 @JRPG @Hokori


Hey all! I've linked all the threads back together again, and also gotten us started with our brief timeskip. Everything should be in order now!
