OOC & Brainstorming
« on: January 21, 2012, 09:36:31 AM »

So I think we're set on a semi-sandbox (at least to start), which means I need good background writeups for you guys.  Post drafts in here (plus whatever questions and discussion) so we can work on them.

We'll probably start the game before all the PW's nodes are done, right? So, since you were talking a bit of freedom about retraining and all, I'll probably go full Holomancer for now, and then later on I'll switch to a build more like the exemple I posted in the other thread. Is that fine?

If you'd like to do that, it's fine... but there's a bunch of stuff to do before we start, and the PW nodes are at the top of the list.  (I'm working on Beastlands right now, in fact.)  So if you'd like to run with the PW build then that's fine too.

Just wondering, since I don't know when we'll start. But yeah, I'll go mostly with PW when it's ready.

I added some Lifetorn feats and another DivHead feat, for anyone who's interested.

Those look awesome, and are definitely going to give me something to think about.

Also, majorly jealous of the divhead in our group. Very Ghost in the Shell, awesome!

I guess I'll have to watch a bit of that series then.  To be honest I intended to play him kinda like a fixer from the game Anarchy Online, but there are a lot of different options available I guess.

Edit:  It's pretty cool so far.  I might be able to make a fitting PrC or two based on the show.

GitS: SAC is a really good anime; anyone interested in cyberpunk should watch it. :)

I've never seen it either... I downloaded some, but I haven't had a chance to watch yet.  I'll probably have some PrC ideas as well once I do.

You might want to put a link directly to the homebrew somewhere.   :p

Oh, yeah... good idea.  Lol.

EDIT: The Magipunk logo in every thread is now a hotlink to the Magipunk homebrew board.

How's this flaw? I just get so bored of the usual ones...

Damn you for making so many tasty feats!

I'll be working on Unique's backstory soon. My question is what level of detail would you like, and focused where? Do you want us to help construct and describe the various Domes? Establish population diversity and economic standards? Also, how detailed to you want it?

Also, just thought. Do you want the backgrounds here or in the character sheet thread?

Lol.  I'd say go ahead and flesh out as much or as little as you like -- I can always add more.  :)  And if something doesn't fit with my vision, we'll discuss and edit.

As much as this is my setting, I work best in collaboration with others, which is why I'm trying to get as much input as possible.

The more I think of it, the more I like the idea of having my Morphling be a Warforged.  I could be a transformer.   :P

Haha!  That's awesome.  :)

EDIT: background here first, we'll tighten them up, and then finished products in the charsheet thread.

I'd love to see your ideas, even if I don't end up implementing them.
