Play By Post / Re: Starting an Oriental Adventure style campaign.

Hmm... checking in for interest. I'd like to hear more about what you're presenting first.

I want the game to have an oriental style feel to the game
So say for instance someones a Lawful evil duskblade are you asking for a reflavoring of the powers
or that we just call ourselves "Samurai" and go through the outlines of pop-asian-ish things. Using "San" and "Bowing deeply" etc.

 It was re-write the story of Eberron... I thought it was such a terrible idea that we all stood mute
in our shame at our own laziness.

That was about the time I threw up in my mouth. Here we have a game that pretty much says "build your own universe" and we're like "HMM lets HACK!@"  :pout

That being said  I'm here and I check EVERY Day.

Two empires fight for the last remaining site of a rare resource?

Here's something interesting....
Quote
Two INHUMAN empires fight for the last remaining site of a rare resource?

Humans across varying cultures are taught (sometimes) and begin to discover how to use "Souls" as a power source in magic and in technology.
And perhaps the last remaining site is a population of Humans?

The Inhuman empires are fighting for control of the last population of humans left in a shattered world, because they're the easiest to harvest "souls" from?

Nah. I think the humans are irrelevant to these guys/things. Also if they're the last humans then It goes against the whole "varying cultures" the idea I was shooting for is that  people figure out like several different ways to do it. Also... since were out of order we already know there's gate like space exploration. So there's no reason for "the last humans"... until we start doing the timeline.

So big picture stuff:
 A. Two un-human ancient races are having a resource war.

B. Humans have souls, and across the world, cultures find this out, and develop magic and sometimes technologies, but ultimately superpowers and magic.

 Really I'm just flushing out the legends and potential of humans in the game. We totally know that there's going to be an alien invasion so the resource war probably gets won by 1 side or the other and eventually make it to our "earth like" planet., the how when and why comes way later. in the game I think.

Which is a good question, Our earth? Or fantasy earth?

Inhuman as in 'not human' or in 'really bad peoplez'?
Hmm... like NOT human.

Edit: Not to say it can't be "humanoids" though.

I actually remember that it was just two people passing, although I didn't look it up. I'll check again.

Besides, we were supposed to do the big picture and bookend history before the adding/banning ingredients, sorry for messing that up  :bigeyes  :flutter 0:)
LOL I said that! I didn't wanna be disruptive though.

I couldn't remember was it when 2 people passed or was it when each person passes.

The current topic is "the big picture". We need to brainstorm and pick something big that will define our "world" within one or two short sentences, like the previous quotes.

Post away!

P.S. The most important rule is: don't share your ideas with other players! Let's take it step by step.
Wait... didn't I have to pass, along with ksbsnow?

Hey midnight, I think that the ingredient you added directly opposites my first one, or do you think that magic could be used for outer space exploration?
Yeah or super science. Every read "A Colder War" by Charles Stross? Its a short story freely available on the net iirc.
 Here's an expert
(click to show/hide)

  So you get steampunk gates or magitek, ancient gates built by whoever...whatever, and dudes in ironman eviornmental suits apparently, but there won't starship, enterprise vs the deathstar type battles occurring, I want to keep it "Hero driven" and not "Crew/Ship" driven.

Also...

Its MAGIC MAN! Defining magic is more about asking what it CAN'T do. So yeah that's how they're getting from place to place.

EDIT: Soon as Risada said "a war against aliens from outerspace"  had to add an ingredient to make the Old Magics more relevant.  It wasn't meant to oppose you, I'm just steering in a direction as best I can.

No:
Spaceships. Thus no space battles.
Which  might raise an eyebrow or 2 so specifically nothing can cross the mesosphere or stratosphere for whatever reason.

11
Its all good because I'm check in twice a day, so hopefully it moves along smoothly, but seriously take your time.

12
How many people are playing in the reboot?
Looking at the interest thread:

Dictum Mortuum
Gazzien
ksbsnowowl
midnight_v
Risada

So... Five!
We really should start with bookend history and etc etc. I'm kinda wondering where everyone is. Its a great game but it'll fall apart if we don't get it organized.

13

14
Okay just to make sure. Do we need to have an order? or is that too much waiting.

I'll add a yes:

In our history H.p. Lovercraft was right.
i.e. There might be "God's" etc but they're just high level dudes and powerful things that have learned the trick or getting power from worship, but outside of those guys? All kinds of bad or uncaring unprounoucable nightmare things.

Cool cool do we need a new child board?
