I'm one of those slow posters. It's sometimes more fun to read that to post a suboptimal post too.
I'm there too; tell us more.

if you look at the  'Charcter Build' thread..everything from the  2nd  post down, has to deal with the  'new system"

 for those of you  who haven't played in my system

 the stats   aid you for mods.

 the spheres  help focus  your character  build.

 I will take suggestions   for the   spheres  to be added to  if  I feel they will help the game.

…………………………………
 as far as   RIGHT NOW... the  game continues , nothing  will change  by the Mechanics... if  we  do switch over.. I will create  a spell list... the only difference  is ,  the character  can  work on  spells to create new ones.

 Example;; Luthien is a holy warrior.. he  wants to improve  a spell that  summons some kind of aid?.. the player  will contact me in PMs.. we'll hash it out, and   as he works on the spell ( IC)  it will become official .

 The system is  simple,  Orlin plays  in  it for my space game..Diana tried  for awhile , but didn't have the time, as that was a  more fast moving  game. To be fair?,  This  will level the playing  field  for all charcters , and progression, as  far as your character's growth will be seen through  yuour  rolls ( when you  need to make  them)  and   certain 'gains' you make through the game

 Right now , I neede to know  how is  staying and who is  Going.

 Justin/Myra   are going...

 we will be making  the shift to my Homebrew  systems....As Orlin Mentioned choosing the sphere  will be  done in PMs.. I will add   sphere   to the    CS.

 the shift from  D&Dish  to my system  is more or less stats..   a lot of  the creatures, all of the gods, and the  people have  come from my Homebrewed  works, that wasn't a D&D setting.

 this  will shift  the  game , more to RP and character Building, rather then worrying about levels  and such

 Please let me know if you are staying.. no hard  feeling if you do not  wish to stay, but tis  time  I shifted   this game about, so RP  can be more enjoyable.

   About time, I was never even able to build a character sheet for this one and still seemed to be doing just fine.

   Might I suggest organizing D&D concepts such as Primary ability "Druid"  Secondary "Elemental magic" "Herbology" "Healing"

   When they put their points down, they put one for the Primary and one for a secondary so the sum of the secondary = primary.  If they want something outside their class they by it with 3 points, or a class with say 10.

   This way the class skills are suported by general class ability, where as non class skills are less effective as it is outside the standard sphere of knowledge.

   Does this make sense?

   I was working on spheres before  for this.. I wanted the   'general' set to be warrior,  Holy   person,  thief. ect.. with  us spheres under them, and people  could  pick and choose.

 after the  sheets are made, I will give out  training points.

 Here's what I need  from everyone  who is staying.

 Cut and PAste   MSG #2 from the   Character  sheet into a PM  for me.... once you have it  filed out, I will replace  the  D&D sheet  with  the  New one.

 make sure to put any items  you have  on your sheet that you have   from you old sheet..we aren't restarting.. we  are shifting on the fly.

 the  message below  the CS tells you what classes   there are... please put this under your Character s Name.. I  will put  Up a sample  sheet shortly.

 as  for   'sphere'  you may suggest  some.. I will either  turn them down..accept them, or  Modify them as per   the game.

 Please try to  do this  quickly as possible.

In reply to donsr (msg # 823):

I'm staying.

good to hear..use the   new  CS  and PM it to me, and  I'll replace  the old  sheet

there is not he  big 'boost' people get when the level mup in D&D..but you get a   more constant boost for game mgoals, and you can use  the   Bonuses , to build   according to the  level up rules, which o  publish OOC   every time we reach a goal.

 this  way..is  more  RP, as you want your Character   toi be, with out  god moding, or  restrictions of  odd  rules.

 I have  had  Niphre, Krywn, and Diana  say they are still in

 as  a note  for the New CS... at the Bottom, list  weapons  they 'know"....don't go overboard, but  realize these folks have been adventurers for a while.

 anytime you want to  learn a new sphere,( or   'have  one now" m)  let me know and we  can add it to the sheet.

 keep in mind...the  class will still effect some things...as far as how "good you are'  at somehtings…

 BUT... as  we play, there is nothing sating you cannot  learn something eles, the down side of that, would be   the points you use  from Bonuses   won't  be able to go to other places... this tends to balance things out.

add  some notes for   races in character Build... Krywn has his sheet in!

Ok..Orlin got his  sheet in!..that's 2!

okay hi all, yes returning.  will be altering charrie sheet but do have a few questions as well.  also it is late here so will start on this tomorrow.

well great news ..  Diana  and Lucyt are   still here  and so is Stardancer.. luthien is having problems , but   will  join us   when he can

 again?.. we  are   not 'restarting'  ..we are simply changing over the rules set.. we will leab heavy on D$D  for somethings, just  as  we  will use   homebrewed  and  movies and Books , slowly bringing in  things that  will become part of the game.

 those of you who play in the space game have seen it.. the goal here is  2  fold, to RP  and to build your  character.. those  two  things  shoul help us have  fun...and..as bad  as it is to say..things  might be a bit better  around her  too.

 work on your  sheets ( Di and Lucy's  are in..as is Orlin and  Krywn )  but  continue to play..if something comes up I need a rols  for, I  work it off of your old sheet... yhou can still play .

 we have   the arrows   at the LAnding waiting for thier ships.

very neat... as we make the transition.. we  are gaining  anothe rplayer.. he'll be messing with his sheet. But welcome

Desat

 I'll let him fill you in!

Greetings Desat, welcom to the family

Welcome Desat, I hope you'll enjoy our little party!

ok..either tonight  or tomorrow, I will be moving  'the landing'  folks along...  That morning, will be the same morning, Desat had  entered  Irounmound.

Glory and praise to Tra, I finally have a laptop again.

very neat!.. we  are at the landing , the ships are coming in.

as  we  continue  with  the  game..AND.. finish our switch over. There is   some things  for me to do.

I am going to make  Spell Lists  and put   down the base   rules for casting

  as you see in  'Character Build".. there  are  three types of  spellcasters... MAge...Priest, and war Priest

 The Holy Warrior will be able to cast spells, but  not  as powerful  as that of a  purebred  spell flinger.

 over the next few  weeks, I will be  adding to the description of the classes and such, as  I  tweak them more, to fit the game, rather then what I designed when I first   made this system tons of years ago.

 don't be afraid to  ask questions in PMs  or OOC..for right now   we  will continue   and   function as  we have, but the  people will now  fit these lands a bit better.

 a GAME NOTE:

  I have had  some PMs,  those of you who play in the space game  understand  this  'system' of mine better then new folks. It is a culture shock. and  I did make the mistake of trying to help spell caster    a little  too much for the  D&Dish  game.

   No longer  are you grinding to get to the next 'level'.. when we reach bonuses.. yuou'll follow the   directions for that bomus  and  build  your   character..added here to get more fdamage points..adding ther to   fight better ect ect.

 there is a lot of work to be done... I have to get the spell list set up..i will take   suggestions  from player  on what they would like to see ( doesn't mean I'll use it..but you'll at elast have the input)

 This world...is  'poor'.. a Gold piece is a big thing..some  of the inns  and such   charge a Gold a day, ebcause they  serve  folks who might  afford that... the walk the Plank charges  a Silver a  day for   rooms... meals  range from  5 coppers  to  5 silvers... ect ect

…………….

 now.. spheres... I have 'basic  spheres' down on the CS now... if there is somethign yhou  want to focus on  to aid your  abilities  let me know..

 example:  Left has  a High IQ.. so he  might  see the tracks in the   dust.... But, the player  wante dhim to be more 'ranger like' so he had me add   'tracking".. lefty  has  a  few points into  tracking, so it   helps him see the   footprints

needless to say. I will not allow this to get out of hand... you can't  be a  thief, and cast a high 'level'  spell...but..if you put  enough points into   the ability and spheres.. a thief  might be able to cast one   low  spell..... Just as  a Mage , Might be able to use  a bow, though he'll have to work at it

 RP  comes into it as well.... Kree  can't say.' well.. today I am going to sail a frigate up the river".. he has to RP learning  the trade ( between missions...or   on missions  if  a  pilot  or  navigator will help him)..good RP goes  along  way in my games...

 again? don't be afraid  to ask  question in OOC or PMs..we will still elan on D&Dish spells  until I get my list together , once I  put them up in the rules section.. then the  old spells will be gone.

GAME NOTE:

  On the CS in the Character Build thread, I added  'RAce Talents'..it is something    I had used  for  another   system years  ago ( for this  world ). After talkign in some PMs, this   seems like  a Good thing to add, to  help  sift out charcters.

   Needless to say, this applies  to 'non humans ' for the most part. Though I can see where a Human might  have gained something, for some reason.

  Please  add  'RACE TALENTS ' to your sheet in the same  spot I have it on the  template .

 at the bottom of the  CB you will see  a post detailing this.. it is not a 'gift'.. you will have to build on it , like everything esle, to get better  at it

 perhaps  the  best way to make an allegory , of sorts  is to  equate this, with   a 'MArvel' shift in the universe  and   the characters   are dealing  with thier  'new selves'

Nice pics  Des.. one of  my failing  as a GM.. don't know how to do that!

ok folks? I know this is billed  as a 'slower game" but   there shoudl be  some RP?... I'll wait until tonight, and move the game along.
