Wealth, fame, power... Gol D. Roger, the king of the pirates, obtained this and everything else the world had to offer and his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.

"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one piece! Now you just have to find it!"

These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine! This is the time known as the 'Great Pirate Era'!

For nearly a year, the meteoric rise of a small band known as the Straw Hats threw the power balance of the world into chaos until suddenly vanishing in a marine raid. The damage, however, remains- the ranks of the Seven Warlords and the Marines have been thrown into chaos, notorious criminals from Impel Down's darkest depths prowl the seas, and Blackbeard rises to power as one of the most dangerous men in the world...

...In other words, the perfect time for some up-and-coming pirates in the making to hit it big!

For reasons of your own: A childhood promise, a long-held ambition, an elaborate revenge scheme or maybe just an insatiable desire for money and women. Whatever your reasons, you've decided to sign on with the crew of one Dudley Evory on an adventure to find treasure beyond your wildest dreams!

So, quick explanation: I found a system that could actually make forum play work, and I wanted to try it, but I didn't know what to run. The system, Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine, is painfully anime. So I asked myself: "Self, what's a cartoon everyone likes?"
After a while, I thought "Yeah, Kinnikuman would be rad as heck" but I don't think I could run a game made entirely out of tournament arcs, so instead we're playing One Piece. Would some friends like to come aboard and bring along all their hopes and dreams?

You know, I was actually expecting more questions about the system by now. Is it easy to understand since it has no dice?

No, I have a few questions. What are the positions presented on the pirate boat? How many skills are we allow to pick in the beginning? Are there any scale of power as some of the characters in the story could literary blasted an island into nothingness? Would Haki count as a skill or a "superior skill"? Yep, that is a few

@Scarescrow
Oh, it looked like you just said "Interested"
Well, basically:
>What are the positions presented on the pirate boat?
One Piece crews don't resemble real life naval crews in the slightest, so you can be whatever you like! Oh, but you probably shouldn't be a computer programmer, unless you plan to invent the computer.
>How many skills are we allow to pick in the beginning?
Up to eight points of skills! Of course, if your character knows how to do something and just isn't very good at it, you can write it up as a skill with 0 ranks.
>Are there any scale of power as some of the characters in the story could literally blast an island into nothingness?
Sure, all you need is to become a high-ranking marine and issue a Buster Call! Word of warning: This is generally considered "not cool", and may put you at odds with your fellow players.
>Would Haki count as a skill or a "superior skill"?
Technically, each individual type of Haki would be classed as it's own superior skill, but that's mostly a semantics question because nobody in the first half of the Grand Line uses Haki to begin with. Frankly, even within the confines of the story it felt like it went against the core points of the setting and was forced in purely to nerf logia-type fruitmen, so I don't think it'll ever come up in this game.

It seems simple enough.

Only thing I'd ask is will we discuss what our particular character's 2 Point Bond would or should be since they are related to the Arc after all.

@MenhirAnother few question, sorry for the disruption. The first, is XP use to level up our character like in the DnD? And can normal skill be upgraded as we complete a chapter or books?

@Pleek
Your 2-point Bond doesn't have to be related to your Arc! Your Affliction does, since the rank of your Affliction matches the rank of your Arc Trait (both start at 0).
@Scarescrow
>is XP used to level up our character like in the DnD?
Nope! XP is used to complete Quests, which are like little punchcard dealies that give you a specific reward (or "perk") upon completion. Completing Quests also puts XP towards your Arc, which is like a meta-Quest that shows your character's overall progression!
>can normal skill be upgraded as we complete a chapter or books?
Nope! Skill upgrades are a perk selection specific to your character's Arc, but the rules are so absurdly, needlessly complex that it's easier to just explain on a case-by-case basis after figuring out how someone wants their character to progress! Chapters and Books relate primarily to wound recovery, Issues, and MP expenditure.

@Menhir Do you think the crew would have a space for a master of jury-rigging? I was thinking of something along the lines of "quartermaster who makes do with garbage and only garbage".

Ah, I forgot to mention it since I had this whole example CS thing that explained it but I didn't want people to get the wrong idea and think it was an actual GMPC.
When making your character, make sure to give each skill a sentence or to of description explaining what it actually does/what it pertains to, okay? I think that'd be ideal.

Oh, and just so everyone's aware I'm actually taking PM submissions currently so feel free to send them over.
It seems silly to move to a proper OOC right now, since at the point we're at it'd be exactly the same OP and little else.

Friends, I am sorry to say that only one or two people have shown enough interest in this game to actually send me a submission of any kind. I don't know if it's that people don't like Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine, or that people don't like One Piece, but nobody seems to show any particular interest so I'm declaring this game dead on arrival.

I wish you all luck with future games, and a happy new years!
