[OOC] ~ Winds Of Fate - A Thief's Adventure ~ (1.0)

[Enzayne]

Hi hi, is this still open to prospective ne'er-do-wells?

[Jarl Coolgruuf]

@Enzayne
we don't take kindly to knife ears 'round these parts

[Enzayne]

@Jarl Coolgruuf
Deplorable mon-keigh, you trifle in matters that extend far beyond your meager mettle. Listen now for the eternal song of inevitability. I think we can all get along :)

[Jarl Coolgruuf]

@Enzayne


space book also says you have big gay

[Fetzen]

I'm interested in this RP and trying to work on a character. I guess it will be some kind of roughneck :)

[Kassarock]

That post was getting rather big so I'm gonna split it into two, expect actual rolls next post

[Finris]

I will be posting tomorrow (hopefully). Very nice posts so far

[Arkitekt]

@Kassarockyou don't have to actually add any rolls in the post, you may leave this information out, or if you feel it necessary place it at the bottom for whatever reason you rolled. You can do all of this I think if you used the campaign dice located in the zero post. Just specify what the roll is for and I think it will log it but I'm not certain. I may try to throw a post in later tonight or surely by tomorrow too. Sorry I've been a bit preoccupied today. I had to totally destroy and revamp a character for another rp.

[Kassarock]

@Arkitekt Unfortunately, I don't think that the dice roller on RPG works that way. One poster per dice campaign, so if people are rolling they will need to setup their own. I've linked mine in my C.S.

[Arkitekt]

@KassarockThat is fine. It's not a huge deal as I don't plan to be checking for rolls or anything. It's going to be optional unless you like the idea and decide to go with it, and it's still just a simple template that can be altered if need be.

I am going to try to get a post up today as well. At least I hope to. I should have it up by tonight at the latest.

[Arkitekt]

@Enzayne It is if you can provide a character sheet, preferably one without pointy ears like @Jarl Coolgruuf mentioned. Keeping the "mid" in the fantasy bit reserved for the powerful gorgons that come to destroy your party.. All Hail Cthulhu..

I managed to squeeze a post out. Also I managed to add in another Npc named Gail Livingsworth. He is a street dealer, and an apothecary that specializes in drugs and healing salves, ointments, and potions (Medicine and drugs mostly).

[Jarl Coolgruuf]

@Arkitekt So do you want us to all write our characters into prison so they can meet or is it more of a "find and assemble your team" thing?

@Jarl Coolgruuf

I am leaving this completely up to you, or everyone that is. You can either choose to get hemmed up with Y'Vanna, Or you can choose not to. The party can be assembled while they are incarcerated, or afterwards, so it won't matter in regards to creating the group. Y'Vanna and Gail will be there for at least a post or two so you have some time to decide. I guess a small spoiler of sorts won't be so bad.. The High King will require a team of less than admirables to either retrieve, search, or procure something. This will send our group out on a very long and winding journey, where they will travel the lands of the Nine for an eternity.

The plot is loose as I'd like to pull ideas from the group as much as possible, and I am enjoying things like where your characters are all from, which I will most likely add to the map of the Nines at some point. This way everyone gets tangled up in the story as well as the geography, and it will be an extensive journey, with lots of traversing, and exploring new territories full of side adventures. I wanted it to be very much centered around the characters playing, and their relationships as they grow into a proper group.

@Jarl Coolgruuf, @Kassarock, @Finris, @Atrophy, @Fetzen,

I will get a DISCORD up for anyone who is interested. We can post about general stuff and I'll make a room for plot stuff too. I would very much like to incorporate everyone's ideas into this, a proper and grand adventure, fit to be a Saga. It doesn't have to end and the main plot is just enough to build the environment and to establish the feel of this world. It will be whatever we choose to make it. It is also supposed to be a very dark and gritty comedy, very 18+ themes and scenes, as dark and as gritty as you like, but no smut for the sake of smut. Just wanted to make sure that everyone was aware that this isn't going to be the kiddie pool, even though the rhetoric may be witty and comedic at times as well. I will try to get that going, and I also make one where we can flesh out locations and homelands in as well.

OH YEAH NEW BLOOD WOO!

<Snipped quote by Arkitekt>

While we're on dice, I want to make sure I got the flaw modifier right. Let's say Prudence is rolling to sucker punch Ayden (Don't know if it was intentional,@Jarl Coolgruuf, but our character's flaw play off of each other really nicely). Normally, her sucker punch is a normal 3d2 but let's say he hurt her feelings sense she's a real sensitive type so it triggered her first flaw and tagged her with that -2 modifier. So while normally a 5 on a 3d2 would be a good success the modifier would make it a 3 which would be a big old failure and Prudence would just end up smacking the constable who happened to be standing next to Ayden or something equally awful, right?

@Atrophy

You may do whatever you wish in terms of modifiers and dice. The system is completely optional and just used as a guide for posting should you choose to do so. I think it's a wonderful idea to be quite honest. I rather like the idea of character flaws complimenting each other. Very cool angle on it to be sure.

That modifier seems kind of harsh actually, I would drop it to 1 instead. In fact I am going to go ahead and change it too for everyone in the rules as well. Also @Atrophy attack rolls are on a D10, I would change your skillset so that it doesn't include an attack, unless its a + number for attacking to be added to the D10 score, like a proficiency with knives +3 or whatever, sucker punch, that sort of thing.
Noting that a sucker punch must be done while your target is off-guard and unaware. But you can just sucker punch someone while attacking, so I would say just add the mod to a d10 roll if it pertains to an attack. The other skills like lockpicking are the types that would require success rolls with number X D2, actions using skills. I would just add that to a D10 roll since sucker punching is a skill in your case.

Update:

I fixed All of the mods to a -1 save for flintlocks. Still a -2 on a D10 roll. I also gave everyone another 5 points to disperse in their skills list, totaling 20pts altogether.

[Arkitekt]

DISCORD channel is up for anyone interested. Brainstorming and plot-forming, all that good stuff, general chat, etc.

@Jarl Coolgruuf, @Kassarock, @Finris, @Atrophy, @Fetzen, @Enzayne

~WINDS of FATE~ DISCORD LINK HERE!!

[Arkitekt]

I also added the link for the DISCORD to both Zero pages on the IC, OOC boards. The link is located at the very top of the page for easy reference. Feel free to share any ideas you may have, or any questions as well, general chit-chat is also fine.

[Arkitekt]

I also just added some music for setting and mood. I put the link on the Zero post on the IC board right under the discord link. Just to give a little bit more to the setting's atmosphere.

[Finris]

I like the soundtrack :D
