Kingdoms of Khoyee (MMO Tabletop RPG)

Kingdom Building split into two hiders, Kingdom Building and Ruling a Kingdom, more information added to both groups.

Maps are being worked on, I have one mostly done and my goal is to complete a few more today. After that's done we can pretty much get started in the IC. I'll just need to come up with a way for you to all to establish a party and be in this region and figure out how exactly combat will work in Post form.

Edit #1: I'm trying to come up with a post format that works best for KoK. It might take some experimenting to see what looks good but I'm thinking of something along these lines...

---

I ready my sword, both hands on the hilt, held out straight in front of me. The base of the sword in front of my core, the tip of the blade pointing just under my sight of the creature. I had never encountered a Dyrk before, they were not native to the island I grew up on, but I had heard tale of ambitious adventurers setting foot on Kohyee only to die in the first few days to the beast that stand before me. I took a deep breath, inhale. One, two, three. Exhale. Now!

Attack

D20 = 8
Longsword (8) = Miss

I run towards the beast turning my waist to the left and pulling my blade to the side before thrusting it forward. But the beast it too quick. The Dyrk hops to its right and I step where it once was.

---

That should work but if it doesn't we can tweak it. With that being said two things...

1) Would you prefer guild dice for roll results or discord? I'm fine with either though I hear the guild's dice has its limits.

2) We will be starting with close quarters combat rules, which in KoK means there is no need to track range on weapons or how far your character can move in a single turn. Those details will be added at a later date after the game is in a more stable position.

Edit #2: It's going to be late before I have the maps ready but here's a preview of one of them so far :)

Eastern Forest Region 3

Kingdoms of Khoyee (MMO Tabletop RPG)

2 post and 2 either way, post it is! I thought as much but I figured I'd ask since most of us are on Discord now and could have gone that way. Post works though (and may attract new people :D )

Edit #1: Alright so I didn't get to maps tonight but I'll work on them tomorrow. Until then, goodnight!

Kingdoms of Khoyee (MMO Tabletop RPG)

While it's on my mind, I hadn't even thought to ask.

Which format would you prefer to rp in, Traditional or Post Written?

Kingdoms of Khoyee (MMO Tabletop RPG)

Uh...Where do i look for the Discord link?

@OtomostheCrazy

It's at the top of the OP n_n

Edit #1: Spent hours on the phone and then online with Health Insurance stuff. Still have work to do on the Bestiary to make creatures have roll based attacks and that's nearly done but I haven't even touch maps for you guys. Will do that as soon as I can.

Edit #2: Bestiary updated...

• Roll based damage added to all attacks
• Root changed from lasting 1 turn to 2, but given health so that it can be destroyed prior
• Creatures do not have their Pierce Resist and Stun resist based on Fortitude, instead they are separate so that Pierce damage focused players will have certain creatures they do best against and Stun focused players will have creatures they do best against
• Wasp description changed from saying they can be scorched to being killed by fire, that way it is clearer to players they can burn the wasp rather than depend on the Scorch Beetle to do so

@dreamer

Also, the discord link has expired.

@rush99999

Glad to have you, though I just finished deleting your Role Sheet file haha. I'll undo that and add you back to the party. If you ever get busy though I'm designing the game so you will slowly generate experience while afk so you can always come back later. Just try to let your party know so they don't wait for a post that isn't coming.

Edit #1: Fixed the Discord link to never expire. Thank ya!

Edit #2: Added damage types to the op, with the removal of the Draken's Fire Resitance skill I went ahead and made resistances and such non existent. You'll see below how elements will work in KoK.

Damage Types

There are three main damage types, Raw, Piercing, and Stun.

• Raw damage goes to Aura first and will only hurt health once Aura hits 0.
• Piercing goes to health and ignores Aura.
• Stun fills up a character's Stun Gauge and once that Gauge is full for example, 50/50 Stun, then the character becomes stunned and is unable to act for a time. Stunned characters can not dodge and thus all hits will land, Misses will instead do minimum damage.

There are some less common damage types in the form of elements, these act very similarly to the three listed above with some differences.

• Fire is just like Raw damage but can ignite flammable substances and cause explosions for extra damage.
• Poison acts like Piercing and goes to health and ignores Aura, typically doing less direct damage than piercing but can build up over time unless cured.
• Ice acts exactly like Stun but instead of being stunned for a brief time you can be frozen for a longer period of time.

CS

Name: Yang Teng

Age: 26

Appearance: Yang is a naturally good looking man, his eyes are a perfect blue, even though they do have the yellow colouring of his body's affinity for magic, the more he uses his skills the more yellow his eyes turn. His short brown hair is in the style of a crew cut, sometimes when left too long it flops down for a small fringe. He dresses quite smartly, an assortment of robes cover his body, though they don’t quite match he looks quite fashionable and as though he couldn’t handle himself.

Race: Human

Height: 6'2

Build: Lanky

Skin: Caucasian, slightly tanned

Eyes: Navy Blue (Hints of honey yellow around the pupil)

Hair: Pearl White

Backstory: Yang Teng was born into a poor family, being the bastard son of a king. He had to grow up tough, it was what his mother always taught him. But instead he learnt to be smart and resourceful. One day he discovered magic and a whole new world was opened up to him. His natural good looks and intelligence allowed him to charm others into doing what he wished. Though he is only young he has been able to make a living from the corruption of many others, conning them out of their own pocket and information. He rarely has to cast spells, but now realising the world is at a tipping point he wants to be at the front of the action and has decided to journey outside of his comfort zone and take a piece of the world for himself, in his own way.

Primary Role: Caster

Secondary Role: Communicator

Starting Weapon: Staff

Stats:
Aura: 50

Health: 100

Strength: 2

Dex: 2

Intelligence: 4

Fortitude: 1

Stun Resist: 25/25

Pierce Resist: 1

@JELDare

Alright cool, I'll add him to the list. Only thing I didn't get was the outfit but that doesn't matter gameplay wise so he's good to go :D Good to have a communicator too.

That concludes the party for now unless any of you want to invite friends. I'm wrapping up some creature work and such now, I'll work on some maps tonight so we can get started tomorrow if you all are ready.

@rush99999 Oh that sucks, sorry to hear that man was looking forward to having you. Good luck!

<Snipped quote by Torack>

You forgot the link.

@rush99999

I thought some of you guys did that on purpose because you hadn't got to that part yet. But I would like it done before we start the campaign itself.

On a different note added more to the op...

Time Progression and Slow Gen Exp

To balance out the two different ways to play KoK, experience is slowly generated as time progresses. Every day that passes in reality is equivalent to 8 hours in Khoyee. So it takes three days in real life for an in-game day to progress. Every in-game hour that passes earns you 1 exp in your primary role. Thus every real life day that passes earns you 8 exp in your primary role. Since you have a x3 bonus to Primary role experience you actually earn 24 experience per real life day or 1 exp per hour. Your party simply gets the 8 exp you earned prior to the multiplier. Because of this a larger party generates more passive experience than a small party since every member of the party is generating 1 exp per in game hour.

Traditional Tabletop and Post Written Tabletop

There are two primary ways to play Kingdoms of Khoyee, the traditional table-top way of having a session in a group that can last hours at a time, or through post you write on a forum or through dms. Regardless of the way you play you may encounter players of either play style on your journey. Here are some things to note about the different play styles.

Traditional

• Traditional can take place either in person or through chat groups like the KoK Discord
• During sessions progress can be quick as you are not waiting on people to post rather those around you act right away
• Sessions may have a lot of idle time in between, sessions could end up being weekly or bi-weekly, and members of your party may not always be able to attend every session
• Interactions between players may take time as other parties, even if they are also playing traditional, may not be able to communicate with you directly

Post Written

• Idle time is typically less between post as that between sessions however it is much more frequent and depending on how active your party is, progress may be slow
• Some party members may far less active than others, in that event you can have a more "permanent" camp or province of choice for your less active members to rest at while other members of the party keep progressing. All party members generate experience over time so banning the character from your party should be a last resort!

Kingdoms of Khoyee (MMO Tabletop RPG)

@TorackAwesome, I really like it and he's all good. I'll add him to the party!

Kingdoms of Khoyee (MMO Tabletop RPG)

Cool so it's linear growth

@Jerkchicken

Yeah, I don't know if that will be balanced or not in the end as some Roles will likely have more skills than others but it's what I have for now.

Edit #1: Fixed a typo, Elfein's gain 10% health per turn not just 10. That way it scales. Might also change Draken's skill as it kind of sucks.

In other knew got a message from manapool, he won't be able to join us so we're down a member but that's fine I'll try to balance encounters based on the party size whatever it is.

Edit #2: Changed Draken skill to something more useful, same name though.

Race Passive Abillity
Hot Scales - A Draken's scales are hard and spark like flint, strikes against a Draken's scales can be used to ignite flammable objects.

So basically you could set someone aflame if they're covered in oil or if there's a flammable gas nearby. Could be taken advantage of either from nature or by purchasing/crafting oil bombs (will be making craftable items a thing at a later date)
