Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

More a minor frustration than anything, but it feels like there's no RPs around right now that are clicking for me. Well, maybe a couple, but they're long underway and after a certain point I just can't play catch-up. I know I could make some but I'd rather not run more than one game at a time.

@VecI had something similar in mind as far as training for techniques went, actually. I'll ruminate on this and have the details worked out by tonight.

City of Jade

@VecI'm glad you asked! Your Chi is increased by performing a specific number of "events", the most common of which is defeating opponents who are of comporable or greater strength than yourself. Since your Chi is now two, it would take two opponents to increase your Chi.

Other events would include receiving training from someone stronger than you, making great discoveries, or havng a particularly powerful moment of character development. It's a loose system.

Luck will increase as your Chi does.

You'll also be able to gain new techniques and improve upon your own, though I'm not entirely sure how to handle that yet.

So it's not a very heavy system mechanically, but I wanted to keep the stats basic to avoid driving people off who aren't used to this sort of thing.

And as for everything else there's always room for improvement, so new additions or changes can be made with group consensus.

The Portals: Ancients of the Past!

Sounds interesting. I'll have to consider whether I want to be a normal person or someone from one of the portal dimensions.

What sort of tone and adventures could we expect from this?

Great opening posts guys! I'm excited to see how your encounter plays out.

Pretty good start!

@VecMy intention is that you would mostly meet at the clearing at the foot of the stairs, that way your characters could interact before reaching the city proper.

But since no one's posted yet I am worried that maybe I've confused everyone. What do you guys think?

@The ElvenqueenThanks for saying that. Everyone else always seems more confident, but I guess that's just cause I'm not behind the scenes.

Well to critique myself; I have no goddamn clue how I can be such a good natural speaker in real life, but on the Internet I'm frequently second-guessing myself and getting nervous about everything I say. Seriously.

I never feel like I'm getting my point across to other people quite right and it makes me more nervous to RP than I really should get.

Anyone else feel like that?

@Lady SelunePsychic blasts and force fields are hardly a rare thing. Scanners, Second Sight, X-Files, Star Trek, etc all use them just off the top of my head.

Anyway rather than getting hung up on the semantics of fictional powers, I'm just gonna back out of this. I hope you have a good game regardless.
