Hi everyone.  Welcome to the game.

Allow me to state one minor detail.  You will not start as the king or queen of your faction right off the bat.  My original plan was to start you in the middle ranks, put you on a quick mission and promote you to a higher rank, depending on how well you do.  It is possible that you will end up being a member of the court.  Over the course of the game, you can easily take the throne.  Either way, I want you guys to the be the people who make things happen, not the guy who sits in the throne back home while other people work.  Of course, this varies from faction to faction.

Three players added, another 6 still working on RTJs.  This is a good start.  Feel free to start talking to each other.

Greetings, to all.

Hello, everyone!

I've updated the lists of factions.  Right now we have:

A mercenary unit, available for hiring

A flying city from the shadow plane

A pack of animals following a druid

A nomadic tribe of undead

And a city full of monsters

That's not the start I expected, but I should have known how dnder's minds work.  I would prefer that people join the existing factions unless you have a really good idea for your own.

I have a handful of ideas for each factions starting point and I'm working on getting a game map up.

True, you should probably have expected that from DnD players.

Sounds like this is going to be a fun game.

I was doing an NPC faction of monsters and another of undead.  Now I think I'll have an NPC faction of paladins instead.

One other thing, then I'm going to bed, most factions right now have only 1 person.  I've suggested to some of the people who haven't finished their RTJs, that they might want to join one of the existing factions.  One guy might still end up making his own.  The more players your faction has, the better you're going to start out.  If you want to recruit for your own faction in other games you play, I can't really stop you (hint, hint).  I will continue to suggest to people RTJing that they should go ahead and pick a faction instead of creating another new one.

Anyone want to join the world's strongest merc unit?  We sell our services for the opportunity to fight all over the world, more than for the money.

Anyone want to join me in reclaiming the world from the virus that is civilization?

*ahems*

Seriously, though, my faction is primarily made up of Awakened Animals, but we're more than willing to accept people who are willing to help return the world to the pristine natural condition it was in before!

Anyone up for some fun and mayhem? The slaughter of random villages or the corruption of Holier Than Thou Paladins? Want to see what would happen if you fused an elf with a chicken?

Then you have found your calling!

All Demons and Aberrations are welcome! Humans and others as well, if you have a particularly nasty sense of humor!

Join Everto et al. today and make the world in our image!

I can't seem to sleep today.  My mind is too busy and won't stop.  On the other hand, I have ideas for starting encounters for everyone.  Tomorrow I should be ready to start.  Whoever has character sheets finished by then can join in.  This will give your characters a chance to distinguish themselves as the rising leaders.

The Perish mercs now have 2 members.

why them people want to join the race of shadows and super wizards with flying cities made out of the tops of mountains. Anyone noticed any subtle references yet?

Aklso hi guys look forward to conspiring with you all.

Malazan Book of the Fallen?

I think we will call our selveves Nerbenee facroin aloso can we have a quick description of the factions under all the fations.

and as an update all i need is equipment now however i have a spell from races of the dragon if thats ok?

I'll add more details to the faction thread.  Nerbenee?  Okay.

Please include the text of the spell on the character sheet so that I can see it.

Nex, you will be getting some company.  Someone else wants to play an aberration.

damm typo its Nervenee not Nerbenee that sounds like a p[ush toy not an evil faction of wizards and practicers of the arcane.

So it's not Moon Spawn, the flying city of the Tiste Andii from the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson?

would it ruin anyones day if it was literally just called Nertheril and the Nethersese empire.

Nice guess but i have no idea what your on about

edit: since we are playing dnd it wont breach copyright but we arnt in Faerun and im all set up to go for a Faerun PrC

I don't mind either way.

The Malazan books are a moderately interesting series.  Erikson has a bunch of great ideas, but I think he could have made the plot better.

Noone wants to join a crazy druid?

If I can make multiple characters, I'll throw dudes into every faction! ;)

That's a tempting offer.  You really want to play 5 different characters?

If the factions are going to be at war with each other, I am not sure about the idea of having characters in multiple factions.

I checked the cast and so far, Alyssa's clan is the only one with 1 PC. Maybe you could try to recruit an extra player for her clan to balance things out?

There are several other people who have PMed me about joining and just haven't gotten around to giving me any info.  I'm hoping one of them will join.

In reply to Worldmaster (msg #24):

I would totally play 5 different characters. :)

I would also totally enjoy writing them beating on each other! And the dice would keep me honest while I'm killing myself. ;)

*sings*

I'm all alone... yes, all alone... theres noone else, I'm all... alone.

</spamalot>

is landing the city on top of other cities and people classed as cheating?

I'll have to think about that.  However, many people would be able to run away.  Crashing it on a city or fast enough to prevent people from running away would probably damage your city enough that you couldn't do it twice.

When in doubt, drop the city.

Of course, the best way to stop/damage/destroy a floating city or other flying thing is to sneak aboard and activate Immovable Rods.

Thanks for the tip Alyssa.

Really, I think it would really depend on how pointy the city is.  The more gothic its construction (with pointy spires and tall towers), the more damage it would probably do to the underside of your city.  Of course, if you just want to colony drop it and not worry about the damage, that could still work.  You'd just have to drop it with enough force that it would manage to push down over the spires.

Also, hello.  I'm new to the game.  I'll be updating my character description later, but I don't quite have the time now.  I just thought I'd drop a note saying hi and that I look forward to thwarting all of you as the only good faction in the game right now.  I think I might have my work cut out for me.

Really depends what your floating city is built on top of. :P

If it's effectively an upside down mountain like a lot of "floating cities", it wouldn't really matter what the crushed city looked like. xD

Much like Laputa from Gulliver's Travels. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laputa)

Hello, everybody. I look forward to smashing your armies and enslaving you all very soon. Have a nice day. :)

Why do all you evil types have to enslave people and kill people and such?  That's very rude, you know.

I'm offended, thats a complete waste of life! We only kill if needed!

Everyone else, we just turn into animals. Win-win!

You, or someone you know, haven't tried summoning some dark or evil god or demon or something to destroy civilization, have you?  I once ran into someone who did similar things to what you do, but that person used it as an end (by using the animals to protect him and his forest) to destroy civilization by summoning his dark god or demon or something.  You haven't been cavorting about with demons, have you?

No, of course not! Demons are not of nature!

Well, I haven't been cavorting with Demons, but in my old village where I was seen as an outcast, everyone thought I did.

I mean, seriously. Is there anything wrong with a man just wanting to live off the land on his own?

Do we all get a commander aura (Heroes of Battle, p. 75)? If so, what is our initial military rank? Thanks.

just so people know im away on a buisness trip for a couple of days back on thursday

Commander auras.  Yes.  Ranks.  The leaders of the faction start with a rank of 1, everyone else 0.  This will go up with each encounter.

Wow, I just got a very interesting question from one of you guys.  One that I think I will allow and let everyone else be scared.  Someone just came up with a game changer.  Of course, it will have to wait until I level you guy up.  Then you should all be scared.
This message was last edited by the GM at 13:59, Wed 16 Mar 2011.

Did the question go something like, "Are we allowed to take the Leadership feat?"

I hope we are. Totally was planning on doing that next level. Despite the fact that I have a charisma penalty. xD

There's only one feat that fits that description and it isn't leadership.  On the other hand it takes a complete misreading of the rules (which EVERYONE does) to make it a game changer.

In reply to Kam (msg #46):

Let some scrub steal a piece of my glory? Not likely.

Let's hear your guess Dravotis.

Regardless of whoever takes this feat, it doesn't mean anything if another faction still comes out on top.

Oooh!  I know!  It's Improved Initiative that is the game breaker, isn't it?

How?

How did you guess that would be my level 6 feat? My whole plan, the faction's plan everything is ruined!

You may all take the Leadership feat.  No, what was asked was something very creative.  I can't say it was original, since the source was mentioned.  I'm sure that his/her/its faction will find out at some point.

I was wondering you if all would do me a favor.  In your biography line, put your current HP and AC.  It saves me a little time having to look up everyone's character sheets or add up all the damage you have taken.

About the Leadership feat, I am going to limit that to just the heads of each faction.  However, everyone will get commander rank and auras and there will be other NPC followers and henchmen that you gain independent of the Leadership feat.

On a different note.  If anyone wants to earn some extra XP or DM brownie points, buy the series Malazan Book of the Fallen and read it.  I am using several elements of that series in the game, so it might give you some ideas as to what I am trying to do.  You can also earn brownie points by going on Amazon and buying "A Road Map to Happiness" and/or "Hello, My Name is Nobody" (hint, these are two books that I wrote, so this is just a shameless plug to get me a few more dollars in royalties so I can quit my job and sit at my computer full time).

By Jared Pixely?

with regards to HP and AC the Shades hp and AC changes depending upon how much light there is around, how would you like us to make the distinction between each of the values?

Just use the current values.  It is twilight at the moment in your encounter, so that would be dim light.

Yes, by Jared Pixley.

In reply to Worldmaster (msg #53):

And if you are going to buy anything from Amazon, do so through the amazon ad on the RPOL main page. That way it helps RPOL too.

Ah, good point.  Support me and RPoL and everyone will love you for it.

Wow, I passed 100 posts and didn't notice.

ok done and done, not the book buying though.

also added spell resistance and fast healing just in case

Woohoo! I think I can safely claim the first dead character in the game! :D

In reply to Kam (msg #60):

Did you die?

I did. -12 HP is pretty much dead. xD

On to the next character. :)

Congratulations Kam!

Now that you are free from those lawless mercenaries, may I suggest you apply to a more stable faction such as Everto et al.? We have the most interesting creatures.

More importantly, we have free virtual cookies!!!

Or you can come and help Nature! The site is a perfect color for it today!

In reply to Nex (msg #63):

I fail to see how mercenaries are lawless..  They work contracts.

I intervened.  He is at 1hp.  No one is supposed to die in the encounter.  I was going easy on you guys (and yes, 500 knights attacking your city is easy).

Ignore them flying shadows is cooler. We may be only able to use our cool tricks in darkness but we are mages and there is a simple spell for that. Or base your char of a tiefling same thing happenso

Lso invisibility. Is a cool ability just sucks we can only use it 1/round

Anyone need a reliable fighter? All my allies ran into battle screaming and got cut down. I mean I can probably handle things all on my own, it just seems silly to need to have round after round of me vs tons of mobs.

Hey, I killed tons of mobs before I died.  I think my Death Mark killed 4 of them and did a number on the leader and that was just 1 round.

Everto et al can always use competent fighters.  We are currently winning our fight with a small set of idiots and because we use tactics we don't get attacked by forces we can't handle.

In reply to Koryu Rull (msg #70):

You let yourself get surrounded and beaten down..

Well, 22 to 3 wasn't the best odds.  And I am regretting not taking the Steel Wind maneuver or something similar.  I was building for single target elimination.  When/if I level up, I'll get a multi-target maneuver and when I get some gold, I'll see about enchanting my armor.

I'd be all kinds of healthy if someone hadn't burned the living crap out of me. :D

That's a shame. Leadership is a prerequisite for the prestige class I was considering, but I can go a different route. Out of curiosity, how about if Leadership benefits for faction members apply directly to the faction leader? Or if the cohort and followers benefits lie completely dormant until fearless leader kicks the bucket and faction member becomes faction leader?

Whoops.  Sorry.  My bad.

And because I enjoy doubleposting when the two posts don't have anything in common...

We need more people to join Team Good Guys.  I need other people to bother.

I sent PMs to the two people that RTJed about joining it.  One guy said he had been busy and is still wanting to join.  The other guy didn't reply yet.

Hello all! Hope everyone is well. So since I am new what have I missed?

you have missed me killing you alll

Well that is just not nice...I shall have to attack you with a hug until you either hug back or are knocked unconscious by the power of my bear like grip. :)

I will be out of town for a day.  I should be back sometime Wednesday.

Out of interest (and this would probably need to be put to a vote) what do people think about making each factions advantage public (for non mercenary factions of course) that way new players will know more about each faction when they are looking to join. It also means that no faction ends up duplicating the same advantage and lets us have a sneak peak at our enemies.

I don't know, its more fun like this. :)


... Then again our advantage may attract new players...

I'm back.

Of course, two factions already have the same advantage.

Hey guys, I know this is kind of sudden, but I need to take a break from RPOL for a little while. Not sure when I'll be back on so feel free to move the game on without me.

Sorry to have to do this. It was fun. :)

Good luck in the real world.

I just bumped the ad on Wanted Players.  Hopefully I can get a couple more people to join the existing factions.  I would like to have at least 3 players in each.  At least I would like to replace the ones that disappeared/had to step out for a while.

How is everyone today? I hope everyone is well. I have High hopes for this game and truly enjoy it so far. Then again what is there not to love about plotting and death. HEHE

Hello, Geoffrey Royce, if that is your real name. I am well, thank you for asking, and the weather is pleasant enough for this time of year, though it could be warmer. I hope you are also well.

If the game comes down to The Unity Empire and Knights of the Golden Ways, will you share power, or will you force them to submit?

It looks like two of the missing players are from Nature's Reclamation. If Soturi dies, like if she encounters a pack of archmages who cast meteor swarm at her, it might be fun to play a satyr or a unicorn, or an awakened giant praying mantis monk.

That is my real name I had a typo in it before, my fault. I am well, thank you.

I will make peace with any that join the empire. We do not control we cooperate, they can join our might chorus. You are not even part of that faction lol I just check.

A unicorn would be cool.

We will bring peace to the world. The tranquil peace of nature reclaiming the ugly spots called civilization.

*Bows graciously*

Zissren Poison Dusk Lizard folk at natures service.

We shall purge civilization by fire and restore it to nature's previous glory

And from its ashes the phoenix is reborn!

Seven people have made descriptions for their characters, and three of them are in my faction.  Shame on the rest of you.  Tsk.  Tsk.

I am working on it. LOL As to the rest of you who have been here longer than me. I say shame too :p

Mine has been up

Once the character is done i will whip my secretary into writing something for me. But i am looking for some nice lizard art. Wanted a skink cold one rider but theres no proper art for it.

Anyone see the movie "Sucker Punch"?  If not, great movie.

I will be opening a new thread for Bastion soon since a couple groups will be converging there.  One team is already there.

Im still waiting to see what happens when I set a tent on fire.

Hmmmm...I seem to have lost all the other members of my faction.  Anyone want to take in a homeless Merc when I finish my side quest?

The Empire of Unity welcomes all who obey the rules.

As a project for my website, I have decided to host a fan fiction tournament.  It incorporates virtually everything that I can think of.  The idea is for 5 man teams fighting in a no hold barred, weapons allowed, to the death if you want tournament.  My plan is for 64 teams from various TV series, movies, animes, video games, etc.  I have about 30 teams so far.  I was wondering in anyone had suggestions for some more teams.  The "?" mean that there is a slot on the team that I haven't filled.

LOL, the worrying thing is, I read a lot of manga myself and have come across that manga.

I saw the anime randomly on netflix watched it and loved it so now I am reading the manga. What did you think of it?

I liked it. It has an interesting storyline, cool characters and good combat.

I'll look up Sekirei, I don't recall it.

Gamera, I forgot about him.  I'll put him on there instead of the American Godzilla.

http://images.icanhascheezburg...8679280044634830.jpg

I would pick Rorschach over either of the last 2.

For the Marvel team I was trying to decide between Silver Surfer or Cable.  Another group was saying to take Captain America.

I am now trying to think of a B-movie team.  Any suggestions?

I am also going to bed now.  See you all in a few hours.

Perhaps, but I find him a little annoying. Nite Owl has neat stuff. Silk Spectre provides the sex appeal.

Smurfs: Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Hefty Smurf, Handy Smurf, Jokey Smurf
Voltron: five pilot and lion bot pairs.
Autobots
Decepticons

B Movie...Ash Williams from Army of Darkness...he's the epitome of win...oh and Snake Plisskin from escape from New York.

Definitely army of darkness!

But see the problem with the B-Movie team...is that if you have Ash and Snake on the same team, they win...because...they win...always...lol

Final Fantasy team: Cloud, Auron, Edea, Sephiroph, Kefka

What about just an entire team of just Bruce Campbell characters? That would definitely defeat any enemy, in the most comedic way possible, too. (I have to support him since we are both from Michigan!)

Someone is posting a lot...this is not good...I hope its not a deal to assassinate me lol

It's not.  I'm at the DM's house and we're speeding through a slaughter of bandits who wanted to rob me.

If your at the DMs house why don't you just post the results and do all the rolling in the room?

He didn't bring his dice and I can't find mine.

http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm

The official DND die roller! I have not used my dice in so long...I miss them (even if they did lead to my death on some occasions).

I hope you guys have fun! Also in the memory of 8 bit dnd please tell me there is mountain dew in the fridge?

Sorry, root beer and cherry coke.

Noooo btw just so you know I was the one who attacked the darkness...

I have some background information that I would like to give out.  It is nothing that will effect anyone right now, but it will become important later.  I will be putting this in a notice tread later, but I wanted to make sure everyone got it now.

For those of you who asked about deities, I mentioned one named Hood.  He is the god of the dead.  It is his representatives that collect the souls of the dead and take them to some other place.

There is another god or actually goddess that I am adding.  Mother Dark.  She is a primordial being.  She is older than the planet and most of the gods.  She hasn't been around for a while.  Lolth is one of her grandkids.  Mother Dark has 4 sons, each from a different father.  There are legends about each of them and they did not get along.  Supposedly they are still around, but they are not gods.

There is also a guy named Treach.  He is an ancient hero and is now a demigod.  His portfolio is war and animals.  He hasn't really done much, but he will be involved in later events.

Yes, events are coming that will involve gods.  Don't worry, you'll all probably be level 6 by then.

Everyone is so quiet.  Did I scare you into losing your voices?  Or maybe people are just busy.  I've had those days/weeks/months/years.

Well I'm still waiting either till I've restored order or an officer turns up!

Lol. You've partially restored order.  I was waiting to see if you did anything else.  But I do something to you.

I have been off fine tuning things and waiting for other people to post. Plus I have two papers due next week. :(

Where is everybody?

Good question.

Bastion group, if you are done with your talking, let me know and I'll move things along.  If you don't say anything, I'll move things along.

It's the weekend, so I tend to be a bit flakey, but I have responded.  I'm not sure what more there is to be done, though.

Ride to our valiant deaths!

Daaaamned yooooou other factions...making me check the board when there is no update...daaaamned yooooou lol.

Oh it is not me...its the others lol

I was at the beach with the wifey.

Over 900 posts!  Go job people.  Especially you Nex, you are the second highest poster after myself.

Now I am off to work.  Let's see if you can hit 1000 before I get back.

Wait what about me? LOL I was one of the last people join and I am number 3 or 4 in posts.

Thanks, I hadn't actually noticed that I had posted that much. After checking, I realised I only have 2 more posts to go to reach 100.

well get on em Nex...You don't want Garbaaj to get bored...bad things happen when he gets bored lol.

Damn so i need to start spamming here.

I think that whoever gets post 1000 should get some bonus xp.  Maybe 5xp?  or 6xp.

I'm also thinking that I should award people for being active.  Everyone who gets their own post count up to 1000 gets an addition 5 or 6 xp.

Ersonal post count to 1000 and get 5xp hell yeah let's do itp

Time for me to be more chatty and boost my post count.  I could use 5 more xp.

Okay LOL so thats 12 out of the 5,000 I need haha

You could make it 5XP per thousand posts. Then, we could spam the OoC section and get infinite XP!!!

Does RPOL have any rules about spaming games?

I don't know, but they probably do.  So let's not spam, let's just stay active.

GHouse rule no spamming for Xp's

But as a hipster I love spam...in fact its the new bacon. Time for me to make my spam chocolate chip cookies.

Rildori, are you going to do anything in game?  Or are you just waiting for Soturi?

I am mortified. My plan was so perfect! How am I supposed to get my infinite XP now? Maybe I should go back and consult Red-Mage for advice...

I am not sure that I would go to red mage for advice.  The only good advice I think ever gave was to fighter.  "Glorious Chainsaw Style."  "make your swords like things unto chainsaws."

My new sig line.  "That tells me less than nothing.  Do you understand?  You have made me forget things that I haven't learned yet."

Now, should I have that with or instead of my previous quote: "We need something bigger, something we can commit war crimes with."

im just waiting to see if Soturi can add something interesting to the dialog or give me advice based on the knowledge roll. since i only have knowledge arcana i cant make the roll required.

Oh, okay. I was deferring to your superior intellect and position. I will post something clever within a couple of hours.

True, but he does know how to min/max a character. :P

Hum, I think it is good to change the sig every so often. So, I would go with the first choice.

Congrats Nex, you got the 1000th post!  5xp for you.  And another 5 for having over 100 posts.

Woot! I'm rich. What will I do with all the XP? So many possibilities so little time.

On a more serious note, I am really wondering how far everyone has gotten in their game thread. I am beginning to worry that things have gone too slowly in ours.

Things are moving slow in mine too and one of my pcs just betrayed me :( But, I can roll withe the punches.

You're isn't the slowest.  Then again, you and Dravotis spent a lot of time discussing things.  Only one group has finished their second encounter.  And I probably should make sure I gave them xp for it.

YEY i think thats us unles seccond encounter means seccond invasion in which case WOW you guys are in front.

Wait a minute! We are allowed to betray our leaders? And if we win we take over the faction? Sweet!

He just left my faction for another.

Does that mean you are all alone in the world? Join the forces of darkness. We are going to conquer the world. You can either share in our glory, or suffer an ignominious defeat at our hands. You do want to be on the winning side, don't you? Good and evil are an illusion. There is only law and chaos. Help us bring order to the world by any means necessary. Help us make a better tomorrow. Do it for the children.

I am not alone.

Bwahaha, yes...do it for all the Otyugh childrens...hey...we have chitlins too!

The empire protects all children!

Don't worry Geoffrey. In our camp, I have my allies throwing our own men over the wall. :P

BTW I am now the third biggest poster on this board as of this post! For the Empire!!!

Hey! You said throw something...you know better haha.

Once we are done there is nobody ruling the world. Its natural order will have returned as it should be balance back in order.

I did specify no people in the post but well... It is Garbaaj I am talking to after all.

Psssh Garbaaj just throw the guy's armor...the fact that he was inside was a bonus! lololol. (Also legitimately I did not see you say anything about people...)

Lol, I half expected Garbaaj to throw someone if I didn't specify what to throw which is why I made sure to finish the sentence with "No throwing people".

On the other hand, it was a funny post.

So...who else thinks it's AWESOME that I got a total -17 on an attack roll...-17 baby...oh ya!

How is that even possible? LOL I mean I have my crazy dnd stories like we all do, but I have never seen a -5 let alone a -17 on an attack roll.

-18 range increment penalty (improvised thrown weapons are range 10), -4 for using an improvised weapon, +2 to ranged attacks...rolled a 3 on the dice lol.

Might I suggest an area affect...or a melee weapon?

Haha...no...this was not really intended to hit...it was just for show...my boss told me to throw something at them and I threw a soldier lol. I knew I wasn't going to hit, but the DM told me I could roll...if I had rolled a 20 I woulda hit so I gave it a go! lol

I really hope your boss hated the poor guy you threw. LOL

No...he told me not to actually lol.

Well while I like your enthusiasm...I think you need to try and not kill your own soldiers. LOL The enemy will do a good enough job at that.

I think that soldiers can be spared in the name of comedy...

Meh...int 6 is hard enough to play...I think I carried out "throw something" pretty well.

I have an idea for the near future.  After I resolve a few of the current encounters and probably the next ones.  It concerns some of the more colorful going-ons in the world at large, specifically a future nemesis known as the Immortal Emperor.

My questions to you are thus.  First, who among you considers him/her/itself to be the toughest warrior around?  Secondly, who wants a magic sword that will make them immortal?

Hmmmm...is this IN Character...or OUT of character?

Because IN Character...YES and...YES...

Out of character...No...and...Maybe lol.

No, not I.

What would i do with a sword i dont even think i know how to use one. now a wand of quicked magic missile that uses 3rd ed quicked rules (Free action not swift) that has infinate charges i could use.

I'm going to go over there and smack you.  I know what you're up to and that's just evil.

Macross Magic Missile Massacre?

Sword? Meh...

Wait... You said immortal!

Nex would jump at the idea of getting his hands on such a sword. If he survives the original encounter, with said tyrant.

Dravotis has to be one of the tougher fighter types around - unless there's an optimised warblade or crusader he probably is the toughest.  Would he like a sword to make him immortal?  Yes I think so.  Brings out his background so to speak!

Swords? Meh. ;)

In character I am a weakling...Out of character I am bigger than most college linemen...But sadly I don't know how to use a sword (IC, OOC I am awesome lol)

1200 posts!

Hmmm...Dravotis, I think I could really use you in this one.  It does fit.  We'll discuss it further after this encounter.

I'm thinking maybe Rildori, too, just to get people from other factions involved.  And Koryu, just for coming over to hit me.

Oh I see...I see...ignore the big tentacle monster lol.

Well, if you really want to fight Dravotis for it.  I don't mind.  I was just trying not to have the factions fight themselves for it.

Haha...int 6...he could PROBABLY dissuade me lol

Toughest warrior?  Sylvia could do a good job pretending to be that.  Strongest?  Not so much.

Plus, anything that gives immortality tends to have nasty side-effects.  Would definitely have to have a few good mages to give it a once over to see if they can figure out what those side effects would be.

Hey sorry just wanted to say Hi to everyone before I pass out from lack of sleep lol ^^. Well Heya, I guess, to be awkward in ooc introduction....

So the competition are ... rather anonymous?  No descriptions for either of them, even the tiny thing I've got up for Dravotis.

Soturi is a tank with a weak gun at the moment, or I would say that she was the baddest bad-ass of them all, mirror mirror on the wall. That will all change next level when she becomes a King Tiger Tank. Bwahahaha!

King Tiger Tank?  This I want to see.

BTW, in regards to being anonymous, I put a couple lines down so that you get a feel.  I'm just a two handed sword kind of guy.

If the sword is what I think it is, from the books, then it's probably something to lure us in to a major battle with someone that at our level, we really don't want to fight.

While the king tiger tank was the most powerful and heavily armored tank of WWII it also had severe mobility and engine problems. Most tanks broke down ever 100-1000 kms and none could go over a bridge until it was reinforced.

In reply to Koryu Rull (msg #208):

Unless it was changed away from the books to keep anyone from guessing! Or an entirely different artifact given the same name for DM purpose. ;)

Thanks, that was very informative. I was referring only to the heavy armor and offensive power. I am fairly certain Soturi can walk across most bridges without them having to be reinforced. Are you calling her fat? :p She does not have to worry about running out of Petrol, either. She is powered by something else - something that comes in abundant supply.

Something that comes in an abundant supply?  A few things come to mind.  The second one is liquor.

Is going to resist the temptation of asking what Soturi is powered by. I probably really don't want to know anyway...

Tears extracted from orphans, I suspect.

My 12 year old self probably would have gone into more depth...I have forgotten more about tanks and weapons than most of you will ever know. LOL

Hey, stop reading my character sheet!

Rather than simply breaking down, I think most of them ran out of gas or were attacked by Allied aircraft. Petrol was in short supply. King Tiger Tanks were king gas guzzlers. And the allies had air superiority. Foul weather allowed them to come out of hiding.

She sounds like she might be fun to run into lol ^^

Well their engines were underpowered, there were fuel issues, but remember the Germans had invented a way to make coal (something they had a lot of) into gas. Often the allies would destroy them with aircraft, but thats only because a Sherman could not penetrate its armor at anything but close range. Remember that the US lost 15 tanks for every German tank, the problem was that the US always seemed to have a 16th, 17th, 18th, etc.

Mass quantity versus superb quality.

Lenin said "that quantity had a quality all of its own."

    During WW2 the Germans were trying to develop a new tank to make the King Tiger look small and they called it the Panzerkampfwagen VIII or Maus.

    It was 10.2 metres (33 ft 6 in) long, 3.71 metres (12 ft 2 in) wide and 3.63 metres (11.9 ft) tall. Weighing 200 metric tons, the Maus's main armament was a 128 mm KwK 44 gun (55 calibers long barrel), based on the 12.8 cm Pak 44 anti-tank artillery piece, with a coaxial 75 mm gun. The 128 mm gun was powerful enough to destroy all enemy armored fighting vehicles at close or middle ranges, and even some at ranges exceeding 3500 meters.

     Nice article on it with photos: http://www.achtungpanzer.com/p...yp-205-tiger-iip.htm

     It was far too large and had no impact on the war. It was an interesting piece in an expansion of the Civilization III computer game.


     Just to give you an idea what a monster this was it made our Modern front line battle tank look small:

      A1 Abrams is:
      Weight 67.6 short tons (61.3 t; 60.4 long tons)
      Length Gun forward: 32.04 ft (9.77 m)[4]
      Hull length: 26.02 ft (7.93 m)
      Width 12 ft (3.66 m)
      Height 8 ft (2.44 m)

They only made what 1 or 2? the germans weapons labs were crazy and evil, ironically they did not develop the A-bomb first bc the scientists working on it did not want to create such a weapon.

If they had turned all their Wunderwaffe production efforts to more practical things such as the production of panthers or even panzer IV's they would have been far better off.

Panthers were great. Panzer IVs were infantry support and until late in the war could not fight tanks. Panzer III's were the real all purpose tanks and were also the break through tanks with good armor on all sides, that is until the Panther replaced them...I just had flashbacks to really old history channel episodes...

i meant the upgraded iv's. ^^

Still the german warmachine was slightly foolish even sloppy sometimes with design. Take the ferdinand for example, went into production without a machine gun to protect itself against infantry (ignoring all its other faults)

Worse still it wasnt just the American war machine, but the soviets that broke them as well. The relative easy of production with the T-34 meant they could send large numbers against the Germans as much so as their American Allies but with the added benifit of not needing to ship them to the battlefield as you could 'essentially' ride them off the production lines into battle.

I know, but I have always been impress that when the germans attacked russia they had 1/15th of their numbers and made great in roads. The fact that 15 soviet troops died for every german is a horrible but impressive ratio.

The Nazi flying saucer base in Antarctica was most impressive.

so was the failed plans to build an aircraft carrier out of ice (The british/us plan) albiet not truly out of ice but a mixture of ice and sawdust.

Has anyone heard of the japanese submarine aircraft carrier?

That was a weird idea but they werent the only ones to do it. I mean yea, it has its uses but It seems like an inconvenience with the technology of the period, in fact it still would be inconvenient now unless you know it was one of the proposed uav designs that was launched from their icbm tubes.

They built them when japan surrendered they were on their way to bomb the Panama canal.

I just which I had an unlimited budget and government approval to design new and improved weapons. It really sound like fun. :)

The whole problem with weapon design is the whole geneva convention really. All the good stuff you can use as a weapon is considered atrocities n stuff.

You guys do know that whatever you come up with in this thread just gives me ideas of what to use again you in the game, right?

Lol, you have a point Zissren.

That's fine GM... Now, I just have to think of really awesome weapons for which only I know the weak point...

I suddenly feel like the Poles during ww2 I have to use my cavalry against your tanks...

No, don't worry about that.  You have your cavalry to go against my submersible aircraft carriers.

That seems fair... Am I allowed a Hadoken?

Sure you can, as soon as you can cast epic level spells.  I had it worked out once.

OK, lol. So, all I need is to reach around level 20 or something?

OK, everyone, I have a favour to ask. Please all come to my lands and fight till you are almost dead before letting me give the final blow. I could really do with the XP. Please. *Friendly smile*

Should suicide give xp equal to killing a character of your own level?

Good idea Kith!

Drinks resurrection potion commits suicide. Rinses and repeats. Looks at the XP climb in into insane levels. ^_^

I've got an important question about the Hadoken: Would it feed off love that exists in the world like the original did? I mean as an evil mastermind, I want to make the world a darker place. Who(How many whos) would I have to sacrifice to get it?

All of this is relevant knowledge. :)

We could take turns killing each other for the experience points. I'll kill you first. Then you can kill me. You can trust me. I'm not like the others.

I can personally vouch for Soturi's trustworthiness from over yonder, out of reach and eyesight.

why dont we play russian roulette with a loaded gun to decide who goes first. I 'll go first.

You guys scare me...

The minor flaw of having to be dead at the time of drinking to potion? Or the fact that you might run out of cash?

Just so you know I survived my first round of Russian roulette.

Nex takes a turn. How surprising, I survived... Next!

Dravotis has now passed 100 posts!  Good job.  And I don't think I ever congratulated Geoffrey for passing 100.  Belated good job.

Now, why are you guys playing russian roulette?

What a question, for the XP of course! Why else?

Hi all, im new to the game so i figured i'd make you guys aware of my existence. Now, lets find out how long Ill survive in this game :-).

Worldmaster you congratulated me on our private OOC, but thanks again. I am sorry more of them are not in character.

To Karth: Welcome to the game!!!

Hello, Karth!

WECLOME KARTH! *offers a hug and a cookie* you know traditional things

Heyyyyy where was MY cookie.

Hey im new too ^^ so I didn't even know about you, you beast thing.... *puts plate of cookies on floor then runs*

Thanks for the cookies all! They taste so much better when they are sprinkled with a hint of sheer terror ;-).

*walks up to the new people and takes a wizz down their legs.*

Hiya. Don't mind me just marking territory

Is it ok for me to say rpc a "faceless. Nocturnal in a post?  Say banter from a soldier or name one?

wow way to go android autocorrect (was at physical therapy so typed on phone but is now back)

Let me state a little more plainly. Would it be ok for me to say call over to a 'nobody' npc to roleplay in a post or is that in bad form for this game?

Hi everyone! New player here (in multiple respects). I'm looking forward to playing with you guys!

WELCOME WELCOME! WE HAVE COOKIES! ^^

I figured that was what you meant, and as I said in the Bridgeburners OOC, it's fine.

Want some of my cookies? theyre sprinkled with fear and smell like whizz!

Wow, one faction's OOC thread is 4 posts behind this one.  Well, five now that I posted this.

On another and scarier note, the Letheri fleet has set sail.  They will be popping up in some of your encounters.

Also, I have decided to stop going easy on you (yes, that was me going easy).  In all future encounters, armies will have at least one squad of tarrasques.  Okay, that might be a bit much.  Two encounters from now they will.  Most of the guys you slaughtered were CR 1s or even CR 1/2s.  Now armies will include more 2nd and 3rd level soldiers.  And I have a few special units prepared (other than the tarrasques).

I also came up with a new faction for you guys to play with.  I won't introduce it just yet, but it is there and will be a little bit of an issue to anyone who wants to stay alive.  And I won't even tell Koryu what it is.  Unless, I've been wanting some raspberry cheesecake cookies...

Wait?!?!?! Bubbears riding tarrasques?! ARE YOU DAFT?!?!?! Thats almost as bad as wiggles the Koblod Mercenary who lead around his pet dracolich on leash to all the local tournys.

Hmm, perhaps an army may have perfected that robot steam crab thing i seem to remeber from some of the old books, perhaps a unit of just these, inched forwards snipping at the enemy lines.

OR! perhaps Direcrab catapults! Cause we all know one thing we wouldn't want flung across the battlefield into our laps are giant crabs! ^^

When I was running my epic game, I came across this.  One day I want to use it in a game.  I might even create a game just for it.

http://d20npcs.wikia.com/wiki/...n_Teratoid_Tarrasque

It's only a CR 1558 (I say only, because I found a few things even higher).  And has an AC of 2816.

quick summon the pixies, perhaps a wish could stop this beast, for we all know thats our last hope. What?! Your telling me that failed?!?! *sigh* Contact all the dark lords of the abyss, I guess a few thousand favors is a small price to pay to keep our universe from shattering

I can take him.  Just give me about....1500 levels.  I will bake a couple dozen cookies this weekend.  And then a couple dozen more.  WM, I want to change my race.  A half fiend/paragon leshay.  Then I want to start grinding xp from that squad of regular tarrasques and their bugbear riders.  Once I hit twenty, I'm attack Hell.  I should be able to kill all the lords.

I know what I'm actually going to do in this game.  Bridgeburners, who wants to conquer Hell with me?

Sounds fun but ill need to take a pitstop in the chamber of absolute misery. Theres a pitfiend there that owes me a fiver and I'm gonna make him give it to me.

Ah Leshay.  That's a good race.  No you can not.  But some might be appearing in here.  Actually one has...

However, if enough of you want to play a really broken game, I can create a new one.  I will still run this game as my primary.  Starting lvl 20.  You verses a never ending series of monsters, just to see how long you can last.

I defiantly couldn't take part in that lol, id wind up recreating my Treant fighter who wore full plate and charged into battle with a great-sword the size of a small tree. (Was going to originally make it a greataxe but the gm talked me out of it saying making him a blacksmith was as far as hed let me take the concept.) it was a purposely weird campaign, where we all played misfit monsters trying to make their way as adventurers.

From the safety of the super-sized Tarrasque's carapace, cast the illusion of a female Tarrasque with ruby red lips and long flowing blonde locks, and use the illusion to move the beast in whichever direction one chooses.

Interesting idea, Soturi.

I plan on using Dravotis and Rildori and Koryu for the arena match over the sword of immortality.  Would any be interested in rolling up a fighter type as a throw away for the tournament?  I have three other NPCs that I plan on using for it, but the more the merrier.

*holds out a silver platter for everyone with such delicacies as glasses of chocolate milk, grape lollipops, sugar cookies and perfectly warm pieces of cinnamon toast.*

Enjoy! ^^ I am now in a super fantastic uber excited mood and I want to share goodies with everyone!

Oh, hey! You're one of us. Welcome! Thanks for the cinnamon toast and chocolate milk.

They are the best treats ^^ And yes 'one of us' *giggles*

You seem to not recognize me. you see that cloud off in the distance, yea that one? Yea thats not me. Neither am I that really annoying orangish ball in the sky, although I can't imagine who would want to be such a thing. You may wonder who am I if I am not these things? Well its quite simple ^^ I am the bearer of wonderful treats and candy. Although I must have some too ><

Wow, we're average about 100 posts a day right now.  Good job guys.

There are so many new faces! Wow!

100 posts a day! epic! ^^ guess I dont notice that being in one of the 'newer' parties. But you know thats totally what were are a party! and what we should be having! a party! *looks at the other bridgeburners* COME ON! LETS CELEBRATE!

Okay, it's way past my bedtime, but I want to ask you all for your help.  It might involve a few clicks.  You can also give me money, I won't stop you, but I won't give you extra xp for it.  Unless you will pay me for xp.

I have my own website (but who doesn't these days) and I am using it to try to get a few extra dollars together to make my dreams come true.

http://astral-cafe.com/index.p...-to-grandmasterhood/

That's the post I made about it.  I want to go the World Open (the chess tournament, not the tennis tournament) in Vegas in 2 months, but I'm a little short on funds.  Some clicks on the ads will raise a few cents each and be appreciated.  If 1,000 people click, I'll be several dollars closer.

Of course, if I earn enough I can quit my day job and run this game full time.

*follows link*

Lol, I just found a Chibi Rock Lee manga:

http://www.mangahere.com/manga/rock_lee/c001

You made my head hurt with that.  I'm summoning a tarrasque to kill you now.

is it a baby one? Cause that could be cute enough to keep ^^

Bluff check: It wasn't me was one of the other factions.

Yes! It wasn't him! It was us! let us be under tarrasque attack! then we can lead it to his faction! ^^

Great thing about a Tarrasque is that it's an end to world hunger. Slice of meat, it heals back to 1 HP. Slice off meat, it heals back. Slice off meat, it heals back. As long as you had a cadre of butchers and a production line setup, you could flood the world in Tarrasque steaks. :O

What if those steaks would regenerate into tarrasques?!

then we would all be doomed

That, my friend, is what we call 'Toss into another plane of existance and lulz'.

Or a cheep all you can eat buffet.

Perfect. We'll sell them to the Underdark as delicacies.

Hum... I wonder whether it's possible to train a tarrasque?

Just under 150 posts to go to hit 2000!  Let's keep up the good work and keep the game active.  I promise to update at least 1 thread a day:)

it aint bout quantity but quality folks.

Who says that you can't have both?  To be honest, I would love to have 1 good post from each player each day.

I haven't even been hired into my faction yet, makes it kind of hard :P

Opps, almost forgot about you.  You're in the town, so you can act.  Pick a squad and pick a location for defense.

also, feel free to PM the leader of a faction and tell them to hire you.

Come to our faction Siraref: We give free cookies to all new recruits! Plus, all you can eat buffets consisting of any enemy you slaughter in battle.

NO! Join ours.... or rather the group I wonder if Ill be in! (Or just killed off) >>

Well, Siraref's in Bastion at the moment and the city is under siege by 200,000 undead.  Or was it only 20,000?  Maybe it was 2,000,000, I can't remember where I put the decimal point.  It might take him a little while to fight his way out to you guys.

And someone thought that 500 knights attacking a city was bad...

hehehe... well, It seems I been introduced into a group.... but...

Character:

"Er... me smash up picnic.. get goodies inside!!   Ow,, ant bite me... me smash with large club.."

NO! THAT POOOR ANT! YOU FIEND! HOW DARE YOU HARM A WORTHLESS INSIGNIFICANT AND TROUBLESOME PEST YOU......pest..... alright >< i dont like ants, do as you will

500 knights? easy! Who would consider that difficult? :P

could be if they were all level 5-7 scary....bone..knights. Or perhaps Ogre knights riding wyvrns! Or even DWARVES RIDING BEARS!

"what. fined?  Feind.. that like food?"

Welcome to the Roleplay of six intellegence...

why yes! Its a delicacy. A true treat that will leave your mouth watering and your senses tingling! Now quick! GO attack a random village and eat them!

"YAY!" happily goes to crush a small village :P

Bonecrusher, You should join our faction! We have a player with 6 intelligence in our group. The two of you would get on really well. You could be the group's shock troopers.

INT 6 conversations:

"What's my tattooe say?"
"Sweet! What's mine say?"
"Dude! What's mine say?"
".. Sweet. What's mine say?"
"-Dude-. What's mine say?"
"-SWEET-. WHAT DOES MINE SAY?!"
"DUDE. WHAT DOES MINE SAY?!"

No no no...that is int 8...they don't have speech impediments.

Ya, ours is more..

"Butterfly!" Try to catch butterfly, and instead squish it to paste.  "Bu.. but where did the butterfly go?"  Looks at hands "Yay!  Peanut butter!" "But what about butterfly"  "I miss butterfly..." "BIRD!"  "BIRD!"

Bonecrusher, you sound like someone I know in our faction...

"Me like shinys.. and the little ladies that glow in jars!!  They fly around and shoot little flower pedals at people, its so cute... me shake the jar and watch their little dusts fly it... but.. then they stop moving.. makes me sad."

This should be a faction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAN7Ts0xBo

I'm a little dead.  I will be rolling up a new character.  Let the bidding for my services begin.

lol i like seing other factions stats in the side bar compared to all the magubin fluff you get for being a shade. but if anyone ever cats daylight we are screwed up royaly.

also whathappened to the all HP AC fast healing SR e.t.c mut be in the side bar its gotten very slack.

Yes, that would be nice.  Can everyone put their AC and HP in their profile.  SR and fast healing would be nice too, if applicable.

done!

also other usefull facts

non-stanrard space/reach
regeneration
DR
Energy Resistance


and if you have all of them you need a seccond char to use the other half or your abilities. lol

done, but hey no way we can fit all that stuff into our bio thingy.... >< thats just asking for a headache.

I just got a crazy idea.  Anyone familiar with the anime/manga Bleach?  What's the best way to make a soul reaper?  I was thinking duskblade maybe?

A soulreaper would be a very costly intelligent item i think. One with  lot of ego as i can tell from the anime ;-).

theres a kinda devil touched character in the fiendish codex 2. Perhaps a lawful evil duskblade? ^^

Hey guys! New Knight (hopefully) here:) Nice to meet you all!

Yes and no.  Yes, the ego would come into play when trying to master the sword's power and achieve bankai, but at early levels not so much.  I guess you would need some variation of the ancestral relic feat to show how the sword gets stronger as you get higher levels.  Or treat the sword as an actual relic item and you have to reach a certain threshold to unlock it.

welcome sir thomas. Perhaps you could look into multiclassing with the samurai class. WIth its bushido it could be a decent fit. Or perhaps a mixture of samurai with ninja class for the whole ki abilities and you know eventual ethereal abilities.

If a weapon of legacy is allowed I would say look at one of them. It makes you a little weaker in the beginning, but as you get higher in levels so pretty interesting things can happen. You could also mix ninja with monk so as to be able to move very quickly and be able to do the rest of the ridiculous anime moves.

Hi Sir Thomas.

Hm....Ninja....Naruto!  No, evil thought.  I'll look up the devil touched and see about that.

come to think of it hellbread could be a little off...... more monstrous than anything else, was just thinking more about you know the lawful qualities of the hells and how I would consider the soul society essentially a branch off of hell in the celestial wheel. its pg 78 of fiendish codex II if you want

Dont forget monkey grip so you can wield a huge weapon ;-).

Evarto et al welcomes all evil beings and those touched by the Hells.  Hellbreds would fit right in with our slightly mixed bag of races.  However a Hellbred is supposed to be trying to redeem itself so you its more likely a hellbred would be found with paladins.

A soul reaper however would fit right in. :)

in that case how about a fiendish or celestial template?

Welcome to the new guy btw ;-)

Just for fun, I do want to compete in the tournament, so I probably should go with a martial class.  If WM was pulling one person from each faction for that tournament, I guess I should join a group without a rep.

then make the weapon balanced so you can weild it in one hand.

Hmmm...wielding a large greatsword one handed.  dual wielding large greatswords...

I downloaded fiendish codex.  Hellbreed looks interesting.  But I'm not too sure about it for soul reapers.  I think I will work on this Bleach idea a little.  Maybe a new character will show up tonight.

YAY!~ <3 ^^

Oh wait, what about Zolo from One Piece?  WM, can I have three weapon fighting?  Pretty please?  A dozen chocolate glazed donuts please?

And here we see the fighter approaching, wielding 2 great axes in each hand.... wait......

ooooh perhaps you could play a drider! ^^ and put spikes on each spider leg! ok nevermind I hade spiders ><

3 sword style?  First problem, cost, that's three swords you have to keep up to par.  Yes, I know, most people would think about holding the third sword being a problem.

I'm going to put this to a vote.  Who wants me to let Koryu have triple weapons fighting?

*raises hand* ^^ Why not? Would be an interesting character concept! Plus its not without its downsides, I can see needing both two weapon and three weapon fighting as feats meaning that for abilities etc it could take alot of feats to get you where you want meaning a highly specialized character in the respect. ^^ worth it though to bring a concept to life

My feelings on the issue are exactly the same!

Archers, target that guy wielding three swords!
No, no problem DM. How many arms does he have?

what about a Thri-Kreen, then he could weild 3 swords AND a shield! ^^

Allow him to do it but with the cost in feats.  A tri-keen would be interesting (but it would belong fairly squarely with Evarto et al.
