Yeah... Im not creating a permalink either. You having to many roleplays to go through is your problem not ours.

Yeah I always make sure to not to get involved in too many role plays for that reason. Just so that I can remember each character thats in them. 2 to 3 roleplays at a time for me. As for now this is my only one.

Okay I will post again and as for Nova's problem with Valken,.... So she don't feel too guilty let Valken feed on one of the survivors. At least its not a elf. Js....

There it is, my response. Hope it works.

Nova if you wish to continue posting responses for TheCaptainQ go ahead... I don't feel like doing anther post right now.

Okay.

Well, that's alright guys.

As far as my links go, I figured that even if you didn't understand the numbers and terms... you could skip over them and still get ideas from the portions of the text that were written out.

Um Captain just to make it clear its Ruhdivar who is offering himself to have his blood drank.

Just so that you know the oddness is going to get more odder.....

Yes I know. That's why it's awkward because it's an intimate thing with a man and valken is not actively homosexual.

If that's not fan service I don't know what is

lol to Nova its completely laughable, for Valkan and Ruhd its embarrasment, well for Ruhd it is.

Don't worry I had permission to use Ruhdivar.

Hmmm so now your suit is walking around as a miniaturized gundum? When did this rp become a science fiction rp?

No offense Andion but you are kind of border lining sci fi rather then Medieval. To be honest your character should be more down to earth. I don't know what EWillden was thinking when he let you in. It's like Star Wars mixed in with Lord of the Rings.

Also elves don't have currency, they are too pure for that.

Nor taverns. It was never described as a tavern in EWilldens posts. Elves only let select few into their cities so no need for a tavern. A guest house maybe but not a tavern.

I'm surprised this didn't come up sooner... but oh well...

Depending on how commonplace it is for wizards, spellcasters and magical artisans to create artificial homunculi, golems and constructs... and animate them (in some cases, granting them sentience similar to how intelligent items work) to function as guardians and servitors... you could then perhaps extend this concept to fashioning these creatures into forms that can be ridden as mounts. Now, take the concept a step or two further, and imagine modifying one of these creatures, such that it could bend and warp itself to surround, and "engulf" another being, form a mind link with it, and use that link to respond to that being like an extension of its own body.

Sure, I grant you its not a good fit for many of the more classic medieval fantasy settings, such as LOTR for instance.... but D&D is a strange collaborative creation that draws from many sources of inspiration.

As far as working as an extension of the body... some of these D&D settings, you have symbiots (typically aberrations bred with purpose) that can attach themselves to their host, whilst providing them some manner of additional functions or outer protections, many of which respond to the host's will. Now sure, they are not as artificial as a construct might be, but symbiots could be considered in the realm of "sci-fi".

Then you have grafts, where tissues from other beings are grown or implanted into another... or full body parts attached to another outright, (including available parts from golems, undead, plants and even elementals.... some of which involve the risk of rejection or some other malfunction as they are used).

Then you have aberrations, far realm denizens and Lovecraft-style abominations that, in and of themselves, can look pretty alien, in an almost "sci-fi" manner.... yet these horrors still find their place in some settings considered medieval.

Then you have settings that involve things like spelljamming, which involves taking open deck vessels (and sometimes whole cities) into space. In these cases, as I understand it right now... when the ships/cities part with a given planet's atmosphere, they draw off and take with them a bubble of that planet's atmosphere, kind of like blowing bubbles that pinch themselves free from a film of soapy water. And as far as space travel itself goes, one prominent example of it existing in "medieval" fantasy... Warcraft's Draenei.... who would probably be spelljammers if they were adapted for use in D&D.

However, I have to admit, that games with many developers, like Warcraft and D&D, diverge heavily from single author sources of classic fantasy literature. So, if having any of the aspects discussed above, sours the purity of that RP experience that you are looking for, then by all means, let it be known and perhaps I can find a way to bow out.

I appreciate the effort of this post, but it still doesn't satisfy the question. I think what happened is that everyone feels awkward about these mechanical things and orbs moving around and this only would have seemed to work if this 'mechamancing' if I'm spelling it correctly, was an element of the rp to begin with. I think where the disjunction is, is that sci-fi fantasy generally happens in the future where beings have achieved space flight and they have degraded in culture or economics back to medieval wear etc etc.

While Leonardo davinci did make machines and a literal mechanical lion for the king, Leonardo's designs were not at the level of ...your characters'. He was a genius, but he worked with what they had at the time.

That and our characters would just call your abberitions summons. Beings who are born with a purpose to serve their masters.

Grafts again, seem like summoned monsters. Perhaps a blood necromancer created them. (My own terminology) who does much of the very same thing, but uses magic to manipulate the body.

I have no idea about spelljamming, it doesn't seem to make sense to call it that since...it's a form of space travel? There are no crafts or space ships or cities that the beings of our characters could hope to create that could make space travel. I don't think they have even thought of that yet and they have no reason to go outside their planet right now because the fight is on the planet. Not on Planet X. If the reason to go outside the planet is to do satellite imaging or some strategical methods, they could do that again, with summoned beings and scouts.

I'm not one for D&D. I know nothing about it. But the only way I can see this working is if your characters use the knowledge of the times and the materials of the times.
