A group of fairly inexperienced players are looking to play a game over Skype.

We have no idea what we're doing, all we're looking for for a game is something where I can kick some doors in, and one of us wants monster people of some sort. We're leaning towards Gamma World, but we're very open.

If anyone wants to play (or, if we're lucky, DM) please add me on Skype, name's bswaldmann.

This post is a month old, but if the offer is still up, I'm game. I've been itching to play, I've had everything necessary to play 3.5 for around 2 years. Except someone to play with. So if you want fairly inexperienced, you got it in spades right here.

Looking for players for a possible Pathfinder game!

Game will be weekly, more often if everyone is mysteriously available and in the mood.

Game will start at Level 1.

Game will use the Pathfinder SRD. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/

If you have other books you want to use, you must provide a digital copy of some sort for me to read.

Either post images of character sheets, or use one of the various online generators available.

I'm looking for something between 3 to 5 players. Sessions will run until 'practical stopping point', or for about three hours, maybe.

A practical time will be decided when everyone is gathered.

Let's get this show on the road!

Hey, I have not played much DnD and I have no idea what to do for my characters personality as I've mostly played tabletops in modern settings. I'm thinking of going with an half-elf sorceress but I've got no clue what to do past that.
>>
No. 9895 ID: 07ede0

Personality would be something that's hard to help with...but maybe I can think of something.

- A sorceress who is sick and f***ing tired of wizards treating her as a lesser being for their greater knowledge of how magic works, and treats them with greater disdain than other magi. She has great skill with ray-and-touch-based battle magic (acid arrow, spectral hand, etc).

- A half-elf whose half-elf parents wanted to teach her another trade, but she learned of her powers and decided to pursue that path instead. She has a fascination with the idea of making a tattoo scroll, or perhaps a tattoo familiar (specialized feats?).

- A sorceress whose temper is quite even, and whose magics are naturally subtle as a result of this temperament (enchantment and illusion specializations). She has the bloodline of a subtle creature, such as a rakshasa or devil, which is where her sorcery and temperament come from.

idk just thinking aloud.

So, basically I've been playing a Digimon Adventure with some people over IRC for a while, its pretty awesome and I've considered GMing a game of it myself.

I have come up with some ideas, but I need Feedback on it.

So far I intend the Players to start in the Real World, in some kind of unnamed, but large city.
I'd leave it to the players wherever they know each other and if they already have their 'mons.
The first couple of sessions would establish the characters and the relation between eachother, while also introducing Wild Ones that enter the world and cause chaos, perhaps even threatening the Players quite directly.
I am not sure how to do this exactly though.

Eventually I would bring up a third Party into the game, which is basically a secret government funded Organization made to contain or eliminate any threats that appear, but also to study them.
They would also study why and how the Wild Ones enter the world and explain it to the Players, the reasons being the Internet increasing in size and the Barrier between the worlds being more and more fragile.
Wild Ones with luck may reach the real World or they may be helped from outside by humans who actively seek to 'summon' them.

>>8818
The Government group, called 'Hypnos' for now (I really do need a different name) would have 2 influential characters:

A charismatic, but aggressive and cold Project leader, who believes the attacking monsters to be a threat to eliminated and nothing more.
He'll go as far as to deny any sentience of the Digimon and claim that the monsters are simple animals, incapable of free will and simply mimic human behavior to manipulate people to feel pity.
I've considered making him a father of a destined that has gone missing, which would be why he takes his job personal and relies on it for psychological and financial support.

Further the would be a subordinate scientist, high in rank and obsessed with the idea of creating life from scratch and the evolution of the Monsters.
He would push the organization to capture Wild Ones alive, to 'study' and to preserve them.
In the late stages of the campaign he would attempt to create a perfect Digimon from scratch, which wouldn't turn out so well.
I'd hint at him having contact with a 'Mon, but he would barely remember it himself.
>>
No. 8820 ID: b3b2ec

>>8819
The invading Wild Ones would have a Group too, I am unsure how to name then though.
I intended them to be Conquerors, but that didn't seem to fit anymore as I worked it out a bit.
First the Wild Ones would reveal that they come to the Real World seeking for, what they assume to be their destiny, to become perfect and become creators themselves.
They however, would have been created, or rather given live by certain Digital Gods, these Gods would seek to prove their worth by showing their creations to mankind, but also to punish them for creating the imperfect and violent Digital World.

The last kind of Antagonist I considered is a cold, calculating Monster, in the literal and figurative sense.
He would be created by the scientist guy, made to be 'perfect', which would play out in him basically feeling superior to every single thing.
While not only extremely powerful, this one would be smart enough to attempt to rile up the Players against each other.
There is one catch to him however, as he loads Data of his opponents to become stronger, he does so very efficiently, but once he reaches a certain threshold, he would lose sanity, and be in constant pain.
That pain could only be temporarily numbed, by loading more opponents, which would result in him becoming more and more of a wild, rabid beast.

I also considered making a formerly known Digimon into this monster, be it villain or friend, to make it more impacting.

Thats pretty much it so far, I basically need Feedback on these Ideas, Names and Digimon to fill these Roles would be nice too.

I wish to create a Legends of the Wulin discussion thread.

http://eos-sama.com/legendofwulin/index.html

For those unfamiliar, it is the spiritual successor of the Weapon of the Gods RPG and has been compared to FATE and Exalted.

You roll a pool of dice and create matching sets. The more sets you can create, the more actions you can do.

Anybody here familiar/interested in this game?

OP here

Thanks for responding! I wouldn't bother you guys with this thread, since it's pretty slow, but I am honored to have someone instrumental to this game's development willing to speak on its behalf!

At the moment, I only have a few questions.

1. Are you assumed to be "proficient" with all of the weapons of your External Kung Fu? For instance, if I was using Blossom Harvest and a Staff, could I drop my Staff in combat and switch to Unarmed or a Massive weapon?

2. I have been informed by my local game store that they will be receiving a few copies of the game, but have no dates listed. Do you have any news regarding expected printing/shipping dates?

3. During a round of combat, on your turn, can you elect to not attack and instead perform a Marvel? For instance, if you and I were on a rooftop, but you were using Graceful Crane and I wanted to reduce the amount of Replies I took, could I choose to not strike you and instead just utilize a Knockback Marvel to try and push you off the roof?

That's all I have for now, and I appreciate the time you have taken to respond. Thanks!

>1. Are you assumed to be "proficient" with all of the weapons of your External Kung Fu? For instance, if I was using Blossom Harvest and a Staff, could I drop my Staff in combat and switch to Unarmed or a Massive weapon?
Yes. In fact, 'weapon proficiency' isn't a thing in LotW. You can use any weapon with any style - however, unless your weapon is compatible with your style, you don't get to add the weapon traits (listed on pages 192 through 194) to the External Style statblock (Speed/Footwork/Strike/Damage/Block/Toughness).

>2. I have been informed by my local game store that they will be receiving a few copies of the game, but have no dates listed. Do you have any news regarding expected printing/shipping dates?
I am afraid I do not, but if you want, I can ask around. You'd probably have more luck asking about that particular issue on the RPG.net forum thread.

>3. During a round of combat, on your turn, can you elect to not attack and instead perform a Marvel? For instance, if you and I were on a rooftop, but you were using Graceful Crane and I wanted to reduce the amount of Replies I took, could I choose to not strike you and instead just utilize a Knockback Marvel to try and push you off the roof?
By the rules, no. You have to make the attack and include the Knockback marvel. That's not a valid way to avoid replies.

Seriously, they give octopodes grappling (I...assume it's unarmed-only, anyway), but make their "ideal" classes magicians? I'm gone pick the specialisation that introduces as many other targets as possible.

So I end up spamming Summon Small Mammals, tentacle-grappling things, and furpiling them to death. Oh, naked, because octopodes cannot into armour.

Okay, why hasn't there been a tabletop RPG made about these? I mean there's Persona, but that's a video game. Who would be interested in a tabletop game involving the creations of tulpae for the sake of battling an ancient conspiracy?

For those unaware, a tulpa is essentially thought made sentient, and is part of Tibetian mysticism. Basically an imaginary friend that you actually see, though obviously it can't interact with anyone but you.

I don't really care if the system is new or uses an existing system (maybe only tulpae can gain levels in d20, or perhaps it's a NWoD system modification). As long as it takes this interesting idea to a tabletop game near me, I think I'll be happy.

Pic related, it's a tulpa out of Mage the Awakening, pg 233 on a PDF.

As for system, I'd say avoid having the tulpae be all of the heavy hitting, and I'm trying to think of a reasonable way to work multiples but not coming up with anything.
I agree, though, this sounds awesome. You have the guy with the not-star-platinum that can do brain surgery via punching, you have the dude with the thing that's just invisible and intangible but it can make people go insane, you have the dude that is thoroughly convinced he has excalibur and it's speaking to him, you have the guy that just got the ability to see all this shit and be able to punch it.

So, i'm thinking about DMing a 3.5 campaign. It's going to be an any supplement that works with d20 3.5e dnd. The starting levels will be ECL 5 or fifth level characters and the setting is going to be post fictional renaissance, ie there's going to be guns. If interesting send a pdf character sheet of your character to bamump2k9@yahoo.com and i'll try to respond with my skype name and a link to the dice generator that i use. My hopefully starting date will be tuesday the 21st, but will delay if circumstances are bleak. Hope to see some takers.

So... I just checked how much money I have lying around because there was a thing I wanted to get, and it turns out I have... $1.17 in my account. That's a bit less than I would like to have!

But then I remembered I have like... 700+ copies of this game here (in the image there) just lying around because I AM THE WORST AT MARKETING, and that I never mentioned this fact to anyone around here (a classic example of that whole WORST AT MARKETING bit).

So yeah, if anyone has any sort of interest in a 2 player asymmetric cards&minis type Kaiju game (which honestly is really good), that'd have the cool side effect of me having multiple dollars again.

There's also this crappy Barbarian RPG with garbage production values that's way more fun than it should be considering I made it as a joke just to make rules for female characters taking less damage the more skin they have showing:

This is an actual card, I just put it in a modern frame because the pre-6th edition frame is just shit-looking.

I'll be honest; I love D&D 3.5. I also love Pathfinder. I really do. But there are some things that don't make sense. Many of them are poked fun at fairly often, such as alignment or how positive and negative energy work.

But what about the spell levels? This isn't about Vancian casting being weird, this is about the spells themselves.

I just realized that Animate Dead, the quintessential necromancy spell, is fairly high-level in D&D - AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE. In PF it has a 50-gp price tag per corpse animated! That makes it good as a 2nd-level spell or even 1st-level spell.

I wish to begin a project for the sake of my own idea of common sense. Raising and lowering the levels of any spells that seem to be way too weak or powerful for their current spell level. Likely, I will be lowering all the direct-damage spells by one level.

I do realize that this once again screws over non-casters. But it's one of the first steps we can take to balancing the system just a bit better. I have some ideas for fighting men too, though nothing definitive yet. Vital Strike tree as free bonus feats, maybe?

Is anyone with me on this?

Pic related to my revelation. No name for now because not sure what to go by.

Where's the line drawn, and on what criterion?
I could see a few variant bits (What happens if you go 'RISE MY MINIONS with the first level spell without dead bodies around) but I think zombie/skeleton/ghoul +/-templates is the way to go for the simple stuff and anything more complicated needs a specific ritual to make(not a specific spell for each, but a different kind of thing with different requirements.)
Or am I trying to stick too much complication on?
I just want people to have to work to get an antiparty of undeadness as opposed to magicking up four random corpses and getting a death knights, a huecueva, a Drowned, and a Famine Spirit.

Nah, just noting gettage.

As a side note, possibly a side buff or separate spell to continue the 'Lots and lots of quick, cheap but time-limited servitors' side of the tree?
Or too weak of an effect for a spell slot, or irritating to work?
I could see running zombie swarms, where you have a bunch all packed together...
Other idea would be having an even shittier kind of undead than zombies (call them Husks or something) that has the option to be created without a body around, but is automatically limited on time(Takes damage every round at a low rate, troublesome to heal it, some kind of attack that directly gives it HP back for hitting things or something to extend the clock.)

Someone was just commenting on how little action this thread sees, and I'm running some weird quest with Eclipse Phase connections, and, more importantly, for the next indefinite time period, my main computer, videogame console, and place to hunt for work are all broken. So wow could I ever stand to get in on a fresh game of something. Plus, people around here generally seem like the type to be really interesting to play something with.

The catch of course is, eventually I'm going to escape from this vast wasteland of having absolutely nothing to do all day, so I'm not particularly inclined to commit to running an ongoing game of some sort if I can avoid it at all.

So yeah, shot in the dark. Anyone coincidentally already running a game of whatever via irc/maptool/whathaveyou and feel like picking up an extra player? Or have some weird, possibly homebrewed system you can never talk anyone into playing because the concept is too damn creepy? Or, worst possible scenario, any interest in some kinda likely doomed, maybe mid-week sorta thing I'd run? Possibly involving cheesy barbarian stuff?

Isn't there a general LFG thread? I don't see one offhand. I'd love to do some sort of IRC group story or brainstorming stuff. Unfortunately most IRC networks are actively hostile against privacy protection, in particular the one this website advertises. But if you want to meet on the telecomix IRC or Welterde's, or even the OFTC those are all doable.

Pretty sure this is the only LFG thread around, with others of a similar nature mutating into threads about particular campaigns, as they tend to do.

Anyway, I've never personally had any massive fears of someone raiding my precious RPG logs from an IRC server, but I suppose if that was the only barrier from someone wanting to get a game going, there's always Maptool (which, really, is a better option in a lot of other ways too).

But anyway though, if that's you offering to potentially run somethingorother, specify an irc server/channel and time for people to wander over and work out what. I'm pretty much down for whatever myself.

Nah RPG logs are public--post them anywhere. I just don't want my legal identity connected to the roleplaying campaign wherein I pretend to not-for-real fictionally just-for-fun in a total simulation and not sincere in any way plot to overthrow the government. Or you know, if someone else who is most certainly not me were to do that, then I wouldn't want Rizon broadcasting their IP for everyone to see.

Anyway I'm up for anything, though the IRC channel I tried to set up, their servers are currently being DDoS'd by Russians so no need to mention it. <.< I can set up a chat server myself if anyone wants it. Not a mapchat one though that's closed source and secret so I'm locked out. Either jabber XMPP or IRC.

You don't make your maps in blender? :3c

ITT: We discuss how we would run an extended campaign in the Fallout universe. What system we'd use, character and plot ideas that would work best, where we would set it etc.
