So here's a little anecdote. I figured I'd roll stats for this RP, just out of interest, and because I've come up with a pretty abstract possibility for a powerset. First roll on a d12: 10. Good start. Second roll on a d12: 12. Good start.

So, 22% Despair. Alright, it's still pretty low in the grand scheme of things, not like it's 50% or anything. First roll on a d8: 5, so respectable starting experience. Second roll on a d8: 8. I swear I'm not making that up. "Have her know the truth about witches," I said to myself, "and make her under 14, and we wind up with a veteran magical girl of immense core power, but also pretty shoddy starting levels of despair." Like a souped-up Lucille, incidentally!

And then I realised the DM is rolling stats for the players, and my hopes were crushed due to having wasted my good luck. Since that's a whole thing, I guess I'll ask @NightinGem to roll stats anyway, just in case I've got some luck left to me.

I'm interested in joining.

@BCTheEntity You can use those rolls if you want, I'm not super picky and I believe ya, and feel the pain of wasting luck on illegitimate rolls. The high despair balances pretty well and her knowing the truth about Witches might be advantageous, given she might shatter her own soul gem before Witching and potentially TPKing? I rerolled your stats btw and I'm not joking I got
Experience: 6
ToF: 7
Despair: 21%
So if that's a bit more appealing to you you can use it, it's a tad less powerful but stil works for the character.

@snake153 Alrighty, let me pull up the ol' diceroller!
Experience: 7
ToF: 1
Starting despair: 10%

I think I have enough interest that I'll open up an OOC thread!

Edit: Here it is!

@NightinGem ...huh. So that's essentially one point moved from Threads of Fate over to Experience and little else, isn't it. Since they are practically similar anyway, I'll go with what I rolled initially. I like the idea of her having immense control over, say... thoughts? Or something like that, at least, I'm not sure how abstract we want to go for something like that. Anyway, expect a character sheet tomorrow.

@BCTheEntity Alright, thanks! And I'd prefer to stay away from thought manipulation/mind control, if at all possible, I had a discussion with my co-GM yesterday on how they could be destructive to a roleplaying environment, which is why I scrapped Lucy as a character for this. If you want to run the character by me and her first, that can work. ^^

@NightinGem I'll, uh, sleep on possible powers, then. See what I come up with.

@BCTheEntity No worries! I'm sorry about the inconvenience, just trying to make sure I keep the roleplay balanced. >> It's my first time GMing in a long while. Also, further discussion should be moved to the OOC thread, I think.

@NightinGem could you give me a reroll on that ToF if it's like a 2 I'll live with it

@Veiled Angel Coming up!
...2 ToF. I'm sorry, bud. Also, the new OOC thread is a thing! roleplayerguild.com/topics/164456-pue…

@NightinGem

Just to be clear and upfront after I've just noticed the thread, I'm not super comfortable with this being so close to a 1:1 copy of my own roleplay.

@CleopatraI'm sorry, I never intended for it to be, I just thought the system was cool and functional. As I said before, I can shut this down if you don't like it.
