[OOC] Legend of Renalta 2 (Dark Fantasy)

[Gat]

Tempest said However, when a goblin flips on the switches on a magic dampening/amplifying machine, sets it into overload to the point its about to blow... There is potential for total party wipeout.

We won't mention what everyone else did to turn the Keep into the clusterfuck it was then?

I mean it was originally going to be a stealth assassination mission...

[Athos]

Very interesting.

In that case I suppose it would be wise to draft up a few spare characters in case Richelieu's luck goes awry.

Thanks~

Would it be possible to get a sampling of what the combat and magic looks like? I'm not exactly an experienced RPer, so it'd be good if I could get an idea~Coupla other questions:1) What's the speed of these RPs like? How often will we have the opportunity to post?2) How will the missions be organized? How many players on a mission? And, will each mission have a separate thread?

Ah, I don't have anything off hand... but if I recall, it'd pretty much be... Player X attempts Y in Z way.... [action dice roll]+/-Modifiers+/-Stats= Result... Result, if an attack goes to [damage dice roll]+/-Modifiers (ie, armour, weapon, etc)+/-Stats = damage dealt

Posting rate can fluctuate, but it tends to follow a rhythm of posting at least once a week, which can fluctuate with how busy people are, the posting speed of a particular group on a mission, etc.

Missions will be posted up in the thread and able to be seen on the first post when they go up. Each player can sign up for a mission in the OOC. Missions will usually have around 5 players, give or take. I do not believe we will be doing separate threads for missions, however, there has been talk about, if the tabs system gets improved, having a tab for each mission and when a mission is done, perhaps consolidating it in a main thread

It is not uncommon for your back-ups to have back ups.

[Maxim]

Ah well...at any rate like I said before my character, sans history which I'm waiting on a response for, is done. If you all can give me some feedback on the stats, traits and stuff it would be appreciated. :)

[Tan S Lake]

Wouldn't it be messy though, having several unrelated missions going on simultaneously in one thread? Oh, and, thanks for the response Tempest :-)

EDIT: Edited my CS a bit, changed "Romance" to "opt out".

Was this to protect your character('s loved ones) from going through repeated traumatic losses throughout the RP? :P

[Tan S Lake]

Haha. Well, it was mostly that I'd just changed my mind~ But the fact that characters may not last long did play a part :P

Will get to it here in a little bit. Bear with me, sick and rather sleep deprived. I may not even catch everything, or there may be small conflicting bits between what Brovo and I might say.

It could be a little chaotic, but its easy enough. Best way to differentiate is announcing at the top of each post or segment which mission the post is pertaining too. Easier to shuffle through, less having to go back and check who was in what, etc etc. *shrugs*

No problem, part of the job, mate.

And awww, there goes one potential horrible way to brutally rip apart a character's emotional state and weaken them romance arch : (

Hey, that's a great potential character growth opportunity! LoR2 could have been a bit different if either of the lover queens -truly- bit the dust o.o Or both... Renalta as a Kingdom might not even be a thing at this current day.

[Tan S Lake]

Oh yeah, another coupla questions - first, is there any currency system? Second, how quickly will character stats grow? As in, how many stat points is a character likely to earn from a mission? Will we know beforehand what the mission rewards will be?

That's pretty dope o=

[Tempest]

@Azathoth: Your character history greatly references a canon character and past events. I'm not sure how much Brovo gave the clear for this. Because he never talked about any of this with me. So I can neither advise for or against anything at this time

@Maxim: The Templar Order would not be discriminating about the angelic ancestry. There may be mixed feelings from perhaps a cold stare to a look of admiration, but not outright murder attempts. The current leader would viciously oppose such things. However, Lycanthropy was greatly hated in Rheinfeld, they were to be killed on sight by the Templar in the past. The new Leader may have a slightly more lenient view towards their kind, given his travels with one, but he would likely be unable to keep track of all those who would discriminate against or attack a lycan.

Other notes: You have nothing about the lycanthropy in your history. Personally, I would prefer to know a little more about this.... Was he born with it or attacked one day and contracted it? Does he embrace it or reject it? How has it affected their lives? Also... Given the lack of control a lycan tends to have... Have you decided to be a lycan with a magical artifact meant to keep the mind clear, or will you be lacking one such, thus going into an uncontrollable frenzy state when changed?

They will be dealt for achievements, progress in the story and so forth as the GMs see fit.

The currency system tends to follow a universal of coppers, silvers and gold pieces. We always seemed to have it flow between locations, but I could easily see different nations have differently minted metal bits.

I see.... growth. Totally growth :P

Azathoth said
He said it was okay for my character to have a childhood friendship with Amanda.

Again, I know nothing, I can say nothing. *sweeps cloak closer about me, turning and leaving with my executioner's axe*

Always.

I'm excited about the missions being posted. Can't wait to see what they are :D Just wondering how exactly Cristoff and Tristan's first meeting will be...

Ooooh, that does lead to an interesting question; can characters choose their missions or are they relegated them? Tristan will go NOPE if he has a choice to go with Cristoff (what with, you know, the whole brother killing prophecy and avoiding questions about Devan's death and all). On the other hand, if we're relegated the missions Tristan won't have a choice.
