It's happening again. I have been visited by a soviet mad scientist, a king, a penguin prince of darkness, a house plant god thing, a mystical ancient member, a tired reaper (thank god) + a greeting.

@ArenaSnow There's no need to go on a wild soul-drinking rampage on the first night. Or any of the others, for that matter


I never said it had to be the first night. That's when you get their trust.
@ArenaSnow I have actually played some DnD and though my grasp of the game isn't perfect, it's enough that I was toying with the idea of using a tweaked version of it for my game. My fear though was that it may be too much or too complicated and on the other hand, using a "dumbed" down version would feel rather pointless... or maybe it wouldn't? I don't know. Plus there's the fact that I don't think I've ever played in a proper "DnD"esque game either. I'll have to find a game to join and get my feet wet.

I'll probably also take a look at what you're running with if that's okay with you. Thanks!


It's all a matter of execution. As long as you clearly define what you expect, vet the people that come in and generally keep a good crew going, you may not need a system, period. What works in my canon is probably only good if that degree of trust exists. Unfortunately, it typically doesn't on this site, but then - it partially just depends on getting a good group that doesn't need heavy regulation in the first place. A dumbed down version with people who respect the ideals of combat, perhaps like some in the Arena section, would work just fine. It's like GMing in general, there isn't a single right way to do it.

Getting your feet wet first, if you can find an appropriate game for it, is certainly advisable.
@ArenaSnow getting caught is not the issue. It's the deed itself. Projects a bad name for this large place of meeting that will probably end up being a tavern.


There's no bad name if there's nobody left afterwards to blemish the name.
@ArenaSnow eating includes souls, I'm afraid.


I won't get caught, I promise.
@ArenaSnow Just don't let them eat everyone, okay?


Oh, fine. Just the souls.
Dunno, might have a few immortals who would drop in for the hell of it.
Have you considered working off tabletop mechanics? I am not fond of them myself, but the advantage in structure by, say, basing off a D&D system certainly has its merits. If you're into that sort of thing.

Only other system I have is built for my canon, which is a bit too much reading to stick into the usual roleplay, so I'll avoid getting into it here. I'm sure other systems exist, I just don't personally know many of them.
Welcome :)

Beware, those who would consume your soul. Wise newcomers entrust it to me, so they may be aptly protected in their journeys here.
Welcome :)
sues Welcome :)
