Sorry! Aiming to reduce Semeion's presence as quickly as I can ;)

Ahhaha no, no worries. Your not the only one and I guess its to be expected with this level of role playing. Plus its not like I have to write long posts to describe your venture to the coffee shop after all . All good :)

A coffee shop?? What have I been missing in Semeion's thread? Not even Creation is safe from Starbucks :'(

With my new plan of seeding these every two hundred yards, Creation shall be mine!

Ah dang! Can you imagine Ugloz hyped up on caffeine?

PS: realms & souls thread updated in date of tomorrow to avoid me having to do so tomorrow :)

Syoku is killing it in Faith point gain. Long live large populations :)

Hi gang,

So I have been working on the next iteration of a Theo campaign, expanding on the current rules and streamlining a lot of the things put in place as this iteration (current) was my first attempt at it and was based on what I knew/understood of the rules of the campaign setting and the campaign was set in a small setting (unlike Grand Awakening which was setup on a much grander scale).

That said, by making some mistakes and seeing what works and doesn't I was able to fine tune the rules more to my liking and have begun setting up the next campaign.

Now this is less a look for new players for that campaign (as I would not run both at the same time) but more a request, for those that have some time, to review the look of the Game Mechanics in the new campaign forum and see if their is anything that seems "not well defined" or "needs better explanation".

I will admit, the power level of gods is different in that campaign, with 7 stats and the advancement system being more in line with what I was looking for in making gods in a campaign. As well the magic system is more refined (for the way I run it anyhow) and the Faith system should take a larger role in that system than in this one which saw it introduced 30% into the campaign and then refined a bit once the players started using it.

So if you can, check it out and let me know your thoughts. If you wish to discuss stuff about the rules there, simply send me an rtj in that game and i'll add you as a Lurker.

Thanks to any who will look over the rules and offer some feedback. Nothing is obliged of course and no ill feelings if you don't have the time to do so.

I read it over, not much I can say really currently looking at it. But it looks like a much longer lived game, only thing would be so little stat movement and gain. Which causes some stagnation, especially considering how many powers and skills you'll gain.

See i originally, at higher level, have a choice by player for:

1 attribute or 1 minor power

Changed it to make it more spread out across the advancement tree.

You would see it with more « attribute gain » possibilities vs « powers » basically at the higher levels?

Mmm, I think I could almost always reason a minor power to be the choice over a stat change because of how little the adjustment would be when compared to a new minor power, especially in each instance of that choice.

Unless I like, really run out of ideas. (But I don't think I will)

Heheheh yeah.

The new campaign has more "toys" to play with as a lot of the stuff I had set up in campaign was try-out stuff and then developed as the game went on. This was now incorporated into the new campaign while also establishing some things from the start (Examples: Secrets of Creation which are now actually a thing and not just something mentioned in the rules but not developed etc etc)

The advancement was something I may still tweak for the higher levels. Mind you the gods will have more ATTRIBUTE points from the get go as gods will have other forms of competition in the campaign (Monsters are one thing, others gods are another but then you have Entities and other goodies)

Let me know if you notice anything else you feel may need some tweaking. It is still a malleable set of rules and while pvnq and I went over it (his input being greatly appreciated through it all) it is always interesting to see the view from others since each of our game styles are different and so the rules need to reflect that as well.

Alright all so I've been looking at the last few weeks and seen a major diminishing in posts. I am not blaming anyone as real life affects us all, totally understandable, but wondering if waning interest is also part of the play since it has been diminishing for a bit in some cases. I mean I myself needed a month off at one point when I was preparing to buy the new restaurant (thankfully that is on hold due to the Covid situation) but I get it that exams and other real life issues may come into play.

So I am looking to perhaps transition into the new Campaign setting, with the new rules set up etc. I would give the option of current gods transitioning into the new setting (I'll add in a background as to the events that transpired between now and your "going to rest before your new awakening") if you so wish.

Such an action would:

- Allow you to retain your current Domains
- Allow for a certain level of "history" to follow you into the new setting within Creation
- Allow you to choose new powers or keep 1 Major and 2 Minor that you currently have (they will be tweaked to set in with the new rules but will remain generally the same)
- Allow you to keep your same Chosen race, or get a new one (of course, current NPCs would be lost) under the new rules of Creation

Attributes would be redistributed under the new rules as would be skills and Traditions (aka Magic Field).

Let me know your thoughts on this.

If all of you wish to continue I will continue the campaign gladly but may start the other one as well since the story arc is way different in the other one and the setting of Creation is vaster to allow more exploration than the current setting I set up here. I ould simply rather give you the option on "first dibs" for Domains if you look to keep your current deities within the new setting if you choose to continue in that path.

Dealers choice for me. I'm good either way we slice it. Just looking to play.

Would you be looking to bring Milos into the new campaign or go for a totally new god? (as I will be freezing the current Domains you all hold in case you wish to use it in the new campaign so that you have priority over it)

That's a good question. I'd have to think on it. I'm tempted to say yes since Milos is an experiment of mine and I want to see how it plays out.

No problem. I'll place a "hold" on the Domains of Legend & Fate. Let me know when you decide.

I finally stacked up on powers I like and I gotta go back to basics!

I would probably shift this gal over to it I think

Syoku was an interesting one as she was more solo on all her dealing but managed to accumulate the largest following of "support characters" of all the gods.

That and she released a powerful entity all on her own :)

So if you wish to move her over, just send over an RTJ in the new campaign and state your keeping Syoku while letting me know the powers your keeping/changing as well as the other items that would be kept of syoku (skills).

As for her Chosen, your choice as to whether you keep the same race (read up on the changes for that) or if you are going to awaken with a new "race" of Chosen.

I had such a fun time and good build up I think.

It'll be so hard to choose my powers! I got 3 major and 5 minor ;~; and they are all so good!

I might keep my mortals, I'm curious where my history would stop at considering all the stuff that has gone on!

Well knowing your keeping your mortals i'll start working on the development of that. I'll be clear, the mortals won't be the ones you have now in terms of the NPCs but they will have a certain level of history which should help enhance game play for role play purposes.

I'll also provide a "how it came to an end" so that Syoku has some form of closure as to her going dormant.

I'll also be providing for all the STORY ARC that will have played out to offer some "closure" to the story. This will have a form of transition to the new Campaign (without it affecting the new campaign itself)

So Mysticism and Swordsmanship is taken and Milos is probably going with Legends & Fate by keeping Milos.

I have some background writing to sum up :)

I hadn't known about the NPC reset, or perhaps I just misunderstood initially. If we are doing an NPC reset I might as well go with a whole new build. Which I'm okay with if that's how we want to play it.

I'm also fine to continue here as Milos. Or both. But yeah Milos needs his Pharos.

Syoku feels weird without Hushon or Dra'sil around for sure now. They were part of my play for a while!

Yeah Hushon and Dra'sil were pretty much Syoku's major aids. Even with Hushon now a Demigod, that affinity to her remained.

As for NPC reset, it will be a must as the change in "system" will make much more prominent changes to them. Time is also a major factor as a lot of time will have passed of course.

While I am looking to keep some historical setting for existing gods, i can't have advantages like a Nemur or Dra'sil from the start :) It would be unfair to the new gods and make a major power shift from the start off vs what other gods would have.

Would be hard to have the gods go "dormant" for a long while only to awake and have a mortal standing over them saying "hey, been waiting for you to wake up for the last hour!" while all of Creation has changed :)

I'll admit, keeping the same god with those of you with a lot of developed NPCs is a tough one (hey, Malum is going through it himself and his people are still in their first centurY!!!) so it is food for thought.

While I am willing to put into the starting part of the campaign a way to bring back "one" Faithful from your past as the starting "boon" it would only be ONE such being. The history would remain between the two of you but their stats would be changed to that of the new system and they would not have any equipment that they had in the current campaign.

So for someone like Syoku, bringing Dra'sil would be possible but not Hushon unfortunately.

For Milos, bringing any of his Pharos or even Ullor would be possible, but only one (and you have good ones to choose from there)

Semeion would have Saebok who could be brought over.

Ugloz: Would have Malkir, Halkor, or the new Chieftain of the Blood Tribe or even the High Priestess as possible candidates.

Again, beings come forth and would keep rank and stats (well they would be adjusted somewhat but keep the general feel of the character) with skills also modified (same as stats) but no equipment yet all their memories until their point of transition.

Thoughts?

Created a new General banter as this one is growing full. We can continue talks in the other one.
