I'm in the midst of organizing an rpg. For that I need people who are willing to be in it. I have 6ix spots to fill. Two of those have already been filled. Amongst those are myself and (I belive) m's avatar. That leaves only 4our slots to fill. The Rpg is geared in the style of the Exile games, namely Exile II. I plan to take a party through the adventure from the beginning to the end. To do that I need people who have experience with the game and who can write somewhat well. To my knowledge this hasn't been done before, Although I know that all of us have imagined ourselves in the place of those characters as they wander around their pixilated landscape. So, what it comes down to is that I need four more people before I can begin so that I can cordinate general stats and etc. it will be possible to join later I belive but a bit hard to fit in. So, who's with me? -------------------- ...well I thought it was funney...? didn't you? Posts: 296 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

I'd like to try this out, even though I'm still not convinced it will work. ;) We'll see. I've got my perfect character already, so in this case we'll just have to make some E2 stats for him. By the way, what happens if one of the characters dies? Oh, and seeing you've been gone for a long time and might wonder how to call me. I'm Arancaytar; the displayed name changes on a regular basis right now...

I'm not sure. If this thing is a success, I'll be in. However, this board has wasted away in the past couple years. I remember watching everyone on here, and now its just sort of blah. Guess topic ideas are running low. Back on topic, I reconsidered. Maybe a small part. Not one of those "6 spots". I don't really go on the computer often anymore. Only on weekends, thats about it. -------------------- You can take my Windows XP when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse! Posts: 394 | Registered: Saturday, November 20 2004 08:00 |

New news, I'm having a few friends and i write up an acceptable CD to use for a base on characters that can be easily (relativley speaking) addapted into the game. So things are going smooth enough. But I was curious. I seem to have an overabundance of testosterone in the party. I was wondering if we could have some level-headedness to fix that, nameley a female would help make the group more...diverse. So, any takers? Also, due to an influx of able characters I can accept a person who was not played the game before. One I know what willing to play but regretably had not played the game. Now I have players who know what their doing so, in the spirit of increasing players I can take someone who hasn't. Thank'es In a side note. Has anyone ever taken the origional characters and adjusted them all to pacifists? Then taken them into the Cat people cave and imagined them running about screaming being hacked to pieces? Morbid, I know, but I just finished typeing up the Intro so I had to give my mind a break. You never really respect Jeff until you have to do what he has done...wow:P [ January 17, 2005, 09:24 AM: Message edited by: mung ] I now realize that the person that I mention earlier about wanting to join but lacking experience is right above me...don't I feel foolish...

Does that mean you're participating? You joined here to roleplay? That can only be a good sign... -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Yah, he's one of mine. He should be in the party. Althought I may have to make some addjustments. This could be more easily played with email. And I could post the progress on the site... That might work better. Any opinions? -------------------- ...well I thought it was funney...? didn't you? Posts: 296 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Okay... testing, testing... Seems to be work fine. See, I got a connection at my new room lately, but the Spiderweb forums were unviewable due to DNS trouble. Now that I'm using a web proxy, it works fine, and luckily I'm able to log in with it. Sorry if this is off-topic, but this is as relevant a thread as anything as I couldn't be in this roleplay without a connection from at home (I like to write my RP posts in the evening, not looking over my shoulder to check if my boss is coming in. :P Anyway, the CD will follow once you post the actual RP thread with the intro. :) -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Are there limits to these stats? Opening them seems to invite God-characters... -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Indeed; Perhaps a specific amount of skill points could be used? Posts: 564 | Registered: Wednesday, April 14 2004 07:00 |

On the other hand, if we use the starting set of skill points in Exile 2, we end up with our characters far too underpowered. I don't want to spend long posts in this RP just leveling up, that's for computer games, not rps. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Certainly but if we started at lvl 50 perhaps, as this would involve no leveling and give you the maximum amount of skills that you can get in the game, but still limit the characters. Posts: 564 | Registered: Wednesday, April 14 2004 07:00 |

Solution...use ranking such as novice, expert, master, grandmaster for skills and low, med., high for stats, that's the way I did it. And use logic, no one's going to be grand master in more then two weapons and most don't have strength as well as intellegence...ya know? -------------------- ...well I thought it was funney...? didn't you?

That probably means I make two CDs, one IC one for the rolelplay, and one OOC for you to make up the stats. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

I'm a touch confused here. Are we just using the Exile skill system or what? Posts: 129 | Registered: Tuesday, October 28 2003 08:00 |

Yeah, we're useing the Exile skills... ...per-say... ...But we're addapting them to our characters with allows a bit more freedom and a bit more creativity. You have to use the general idea (hits never doing over 25, etc.) but beyond that you can have the freedom you want. What your character does is what you want him to. but make it consistant with the game. (When I say 25 I don't mean anything D&Dish..>I mean like...crit. hit on lesser people, on those who can fight that's a rather heavy hit, right...that should do it:D) I'll post my character Monday after I do a few changes. -------------------- ...well I thought it was funney...? didn't you?
