Where you talk about various things.

Salutations!

Hello all, whoever you might be.

Out of curiosity are we going to invite Galanti over to this? Or are you just going to keep running him in World Walker?

Hmmm. I thought you where going for the mech world first. Oh well. This will be interesting.

Welcome aboard, Glantri.

Salute! Welcome to one of the few games with more GMs than players.

Not really. In fact, we should change your status to GM as well, just so you can get in on this.

Anyhow, don't know if Magnus told you, but we have been talking about Multiverser 2.0. You have any thoughts on the idea?

Speaking of changes the Game Info is still for the non-verser story.

That's true. I do need to change that. I also probly ought to change the name of the game, but I haven't came up with anything good yet.

I think the name is fine after all we are at least using the system as a baseline.

After some research I think Intuition may be a good choice for my new keyword.

Out of curiosity are there any sword schools/classes that let you add your intelligence to "to hit" in Melee like a factotum? Or anything similar to a warblade?

Saving a post for when I have more energy. Will post tonight.

No problem man.

Something feels off about my numbers but I can't figure out what.

You rolled too many dice with the attack with Laws son. Attack rolls are (skill+level)k(skill) if you are proficiant. Plus other bonuses you might have such as stunts.

Strength applies as rolled dice to damage rolls. But that is already accounted for on your sheet

Your base attack roll is 6k3 plus the 1k0 stunt bonus so it would be 7k3

Damage is 6k2+1 ... why do you have a + 2 there too? Did we change Laws son to oricalcum?

Anyway 6k2 base. Plus 1k1 against the skeleton from the anti-Castle pouson. So 7k3+1

Since the system didn't sort the rolls I can just take dice off the end and calculate the result.

Okay so the attack under laws son is the total not just the weapon's dice without the skill already added. Sorry by the time I rolled you weren't available to remind me of both whether or not the written numbers where the totals and what the formulas were. Could we make a reminder place on the game so we can avoid me forgetting and not being able to find it? Because my attacks are so far and between I'm going to forget again. I'll go ahead and write just what it is without stats and such.

I'm willing to run a new game, on one condition: we are using it to test fire the new ideas. I don't honestly care who it is, or what character they are playing. Indeed, not playing as oneself would be an interesting stress test of the system, and would make starting limitations or lack thereof clear.

So how would we make the new character? What starting power level are we going for?
Average McAveragedude? Soldiers?

Depends on the type of stories we want to tell. I have the One-Punch Man philosophy of writing as of this point - if a character is insanely good at something, I'm not going to put them in that situation where they can easily use that thing unless I want an anticlimax to occur. So if you want to play an IG soldier from a hellscape universe experiencing the greater universes for the first time, go for it.

If you want to experience life on the lower end of the scale, go for it. Running a character who responds to violence by fleeing from it would be an interesting change of pace for me.

Now that I think about it, I have never made a character that would run from violance. Closest would be Ember the flying cat mage.

I would like to explore a character who's magic is like the Infernal Exalted from Exalted. I would also like to explore their soul pantheon magic.

THIS IS A DECLARATION OF WAR UPON MY SELF! I WILL POST IN CHARACTER AND AS GM BY THE END OF THE NIGHT OR DIE TRYING! *FROTHING AT THE MOUTH EATING A SHIELD.* *AHM*NOM*NOM*NOM*

I was defeated by my daughter who once again climbed out of bed and whose first action was apparently unplugging the monitor.

Before I post, how can I best simulate unknown languages? Seeing as everyone is a GM, is there some kind of effect I can put on the words?

For a modern language, You can use google translate to turn it into the other language's script and then copy and past it into rpol. sort of like what Tyr was doing in the game And Then We Woke Up. Alternatively you can look up a alphabet on Wikipedia and then Copy and past each individual letter. Like what I did with the runes.

Sorry about the wait Mew.

Its cool, your so busy you probably just forgot.

I'll try and post for Broken Fate tonight, but I need to get an 80 on my final to pass, so if I forget I'll do it on Monday at the latest.

Don't worry about me. Focus on your final.

I have to remember where I was going with your and Mentat's thread.

Wow. That is a Terrible lie on my part. I didn't think about the absurdity that I  knocked it out with the gloves and boots.

Give me a bit longer. My brain is still doing the holiday recover.

No problem.

Need a breather from this. I'll come back, and I'm not removing this from my sticky list. But I need some time, as I'm getting too many irons in the fire. Got to wait until one of RPOL's ebbs.

Ok.

I'm sorry Galantri but for some reason you username makes me want to draw a tree wearing knights armor. It will be the Galant Tree.

Hehe, that made me laugh. I need to find a picture like that, it would make a great thumbnail/avatar.

Out of curiosity, Magnus, do you recognize the world that Glantri is putting you through? I read the OOC package and picked it up, or am convinced I did. If you don't know, I am not telling you - that would ruin the fun.

I partially recognized it in character a while back, But since this Magnus never read it before versing out, His only clues to the plot is what he can guess with his TV Tropes knowledge

Glantri, do you use Discord? I use it fairly often.

I do, mostly for video game groups.

F-it 1 post until 1000.

Indeed. We now have 1000 posts. And I think we will keep going and going and going...

Query: how deadly should combat be? That is to say, should getting shot with a gun do to you what getting shot with a gun tends to do?

Which system are you talking about? Dungeons the Dragoning or the new Multiverser system we are working on?

Suuuuure. Whichever one we intend to use when, say, I run you, Mew, or Glantri.

I default to DtD since we don't have the new system made. Of course I am modifying it to fix the annoyances that I have found.

DtD is sort of Rocket Tag like as it is. But the Weapon damages where made when the system had characters have half as much HP as they do now. Melee is still good because of all the bonuses you can get to melee in the default books. But ranged is sort of sad.

You need 48 rolled damage to one shot a average human. You are not going to get that on 2k2 from a pistol.

My thought is that normal humans should fear getting shot a lot. But experienced versers should be able to shrug off a lot of punishment.

One more night. I am feeling really out of it, because emotions from angry co-workers are highly contagious and they have exhausted me. Tonight, I will post.

Ok. No problem.

I'll post again when I get my head back on. I'm feeling out of it for now.

I've had a revelation, having given this some thought.

I have managed to be both too ambitious and not ambitious enough.

Too ambitious, in the sense that I am wasting energy and expecting an outcome beyond that which I can see.

Not ambitious enough, in that what I have made is unsuited to what I am dealing with.

This is one reason I suggested that perhaps Versers might be better measured using a variation of the Kardashev Scale. So as to scale adventures for them.

Build up your character to what he should be. Unlock all abilities. I'm getting an idea.

No, I won't need to take any toys from you. I just need to study a story telling style.

Failure, for now. I'm too easily distracted.

For now, though, I think I have a short term shiny I want to test fire. I'll inquire more on Discord tomorrow night if I can.

Shiny. I'll try to focus, and have something up.
