[OOC] Fire Emblem: A Blinding Light

[71342]

Woohoo! I'm totally fRee this week, some town festival where I'm studying.

[PlatinumSkink]

Because you guys started with more weapon mastery than I thought, maybe I should post-productly boost Morag's skill to C... XD

In any case. I posted something. And I made an effort to place everyone in actual squares. If there's any inconsistencies you'd like changed, inform me. I also made sure to post two versions of the map, just because.

... So, we have a bunch of player characters without players running around now. Any opinion on what I should do with them? I could pick them up and play them as NPCs if I want to as I describe in the opening post, but while I do have possible plans for them I have no issues just dropping them off into nowhere first possible explanation if nobody is feeling any love for them. Do you guys have any opinions that turn out to be popular? Do they differ between the different characters? I'd like to hear. Haha.

[71342]

I wouldn't mind recruiting them in the sense that we pick a few of them each and control them as npcs, though I'm not confident in how pervy I could be when it comes to our thief.

...This is where Google images comes in.

[PlatinumSkink]

@71342 I believe my intention is that I control NPCs.

[71342]

I see. It will not be too much of a hassle for your you?

I'm quite allright with them all, no one in particular I like to see dropped off.

[PlatinumSkink]

@71342 What in the name of what made you think I'd consider playing a lot of characters to be a hassle? XD

What IS a hassle is when characters usually controlled by other people needs to be controlled by me and I am unsure if I am controlling them correctly or if I am doing something I am not supposed to do with a character that some player out there in some way considers their own. Hence, it is much easier that I am simply in control of all NPCs that someone else isn't already controlling because the player made the characters, like Darius and Aiph. And that's about that.

[Eklispe]

Perhaps it could be in like one of the FE games where we need a distraction to allow us to escape against overwhelming forces so we need to leave some behind. That or we could get split up in some way which leaves them as not dead but not activly in the story unless we need/want them to be.

[71342]

I'll post my actions again after others have posted a bit, this is like just to start things rolling.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Eklispe I'd rather not involve too much drama about these characters, just in case... XD

@71342 Got it, that is entirely alright. Now, lesse here...

@Harbringer ... Oh, wow. Looks like we've established a connection with the first boss. Teh-heh. I approve. Not sure how you got there before the riding guys, but teh-heh. That's not as important in the face of creating dramatic scenarios! XD
Should I have him reply now as just a character post or just along with the next GM post? Oh, decisions, decisions. Haha.

[Harbringer]

Oh i was just moving 5 squares and shouting real loud

[PlatinumSkink]

@Harbringer Teh-heh. Fair enough.

[all] If you ever hesitate on what to do not knowing what others might be thinking, ASKING works really well!

Ret moves to fIve squares down and Thunder punches Shocking Grasps enemy to the right.

He might like melee more than is healthy for a Mage.

*Cough* edited foR dnd reference.

@71342

We call it the 'Hand of Friendship' in our group because of what our mage does with it...

[71342]

Indeed, nothing like a good, sturdy handshake electrocution to show that bugbear shaman just how genuine you are about inter-racial diplomacy.

[Harbringer]

More like:

*Goes to help potential informant up after we beat up him and his cronies*

*Electrocutes him in front of a character who always shows mercy and an honour nut*

[71342]

I play in a more realistic group, If a someone tried something so decidedly malicious like that ...I'm quite certain he or she will get a Holy sword to the face courtesy of said paladin - even If they are someone's pc. Me being a dm allows it.

Though I have yet to act on this rule, it helps that most of my players are actual, capable roleplayers and not a bunch of impotent, cruel oversized-children as sadly is the case of many dnd players.

Hmm, maybe I should introduce japan to table type Roleplaying.

[Harbringer]

Oh no, our fighter beat the shit out of the mage afterwards and I (mercy) had to break up the fight by slamming him overhead with my greatshield. That mercy characters dead now (An unfortunate encounter with a green dragon) so now I'm using a dwarven gun rogue. Need a lock open? BLAM. Need someone dead stealthily? BLAM. Need that trap disarmed? BLAM BLAM.

EDIT: I'd be interested to see how that goes/participate. I may not be able to read kanji very well, mistaking it for chinese a lot, but at least I can speak to an intermediate level. Also i want another group.

[Penultimate_Pi]

Maybe I'm being a bit meta with my post here, but I figure that Griswal would do well to at least keep himself updated on current events enough to consider things like this.

[71342]

I'd totally invite you and everyone here If I could, but we're doing it at my house. Weekends are do-anything days so I've decided to run a game with a few IRL friends. We're all more or less english speakers (they take english classes), I tried looking foR a japanese dnd set but it'd be a nightmare for me to read. @Harbringer

But at least this way there's alot to write, unlike me writing Ret who is supposed to be relatively ignorant about politics. That's why my posts are getting short lately. Though I don't really mind the kind of meta you refer to, it's kind of expected of your character as he lives in or works in a castle. Just wait till a conversation about Magical formulas pops up, our post lengths will be reversed and you will see Ret in new light. Lol. @Penultimate_Pi

[PlatinumSkink]

@71342 ... To the RIGHT, you say? ... Oh, from his perspective. That soldier that had hurried aside because he figured he was defeated and intended to allow you all to pass. Sure. XD

@Lionheart Nicely posted. Yepp, that's some nice dialogue. Of course, how Morag is going to respond is pretty dang obvious. ... Teh-heh.

@Penultimate_Pi Being updated on knowledge is fine. In fact, I greatly encourage discussion or thinking about what should be done next, because I am looking forward to customizing the adventure depending on what you guys decide to do, so this post in fact makes me smile a lot. Thanks for that. Now to get out of here so we can start openly discussing actions. ... Heh. *reads up on information about Frelia* Did I imply that things THAT bad in Frelia? I mean, yeah, there's a rift, but "nearly in civil war"? ... Oh, well! XD
