Completely off topic, but does anyone read xkcd? It's a really funny webcomic, and the most recent one is rather fitting for me...

Yeah. This one is so good.

I'm confused. Where is the actual roleplaying game? Did I misclick on the Rogue Admins page?

This is the Out of character/planning thread, the actual roleplay happens in the 'what happened in...' threads.

We joke around, post pictures of pugs, post random insanity, and plan for the actual RP, which can be found on the topic listing Reckoners RPG. The "What happened in X" threads.

So I may have said this before and I approach this topic tentatively, mindful of the huge pile of failed RP corpses that lie before me, all struggling in vain to reach the Reckoners RPs staggering popularity and longevity.

But I may be starting up a new RP soon. It's mostly to aid in the preliminary stages of a game I'm making (Or rather, struggling to make) so it'd be a lot more hard and rules-based than the Reckoners RP but I think there's some fun to be had there, or at least I hope there is since that's the whole point of making a game.
Basic premise is rather shamelessly ripped from the plot of countless Animes, Manga and Light novels: Gamer gets stuck inside an MMORPG and is trying to get out. Slight difference, not all players got stuck in the game and those that didn't continue playing from their computers, still interacting with the characters who are stuck in the game and thinking they're just really into Role playing.

I have an insane skill and ability tree already worked out and some general mechanics laid out on paper at least. Worldbuilding is still a work in progress but should be plenty to get people started and fleshing out the world is really one of the goals for hosting an RP.

So anyone interested in something like this?

I LIKE RULES RPGS YES

... Imean, I jump on too many RPG's to begin with. But I do find having rule sets pretty useful? It gives ideas for characters, and hard facts on what you can or can't do, and... I dunno. Maybe I just played too much Pathfinder recently, but I find having rules really useful?

...So yes, I would be interested. If that's okay.

I'm going for a bit of a balance and the rules are made for a computer game not a tabletop so there might be a brief adjustment period where I need to define more rules but if that still interests you then awesome!
I'm going to be doing a little more advertising/inquiring around the forum and then probably get something up this weekend.

Or I may get very excited and start something very basic tomorrow, mostly involving character creation and perhaps the first tutorial for whoever's agreed by then.

I am at the very least interested.

[Blackhoof]

Hmm not sure if I'd be into that, wait and see how it develops i suppose.

Sounds interesting though

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

Yes. I am most definitely interested. Excuse me while I scream in excitement. I would love to join this. XD

[Quiver he/him]

Confession: everytime I post a Reckoners post, I immediatly run off and apologise in PM's and get all anxious.

Quiver does not have Lyla's confidence.

I would be interested...

the game should be called The Adventurer. 

[Ecthelion III he/him]

This sounds interesting. I'll give it a shot.

[Conquestor he/him]

@Voidus That sounds like it would be a load of fun! I would love to join and help out, if you want help. Also, sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy with school.

[Comatose he/him]

Still no internet thanks to a miscommunication between our building manager and the internet provider which was not our fault at all.  With students returning for University getting hooked up it looks like we might not have service until the 21st .  Hopefully I'll be able to write some without wifi and then find a spot to upload from.   I'll keep you posted!

[Voidus]

Yay! Support for another idea! Well as I said it may take a bit of time for me to adjust the format correctly but I'll get an introductory OOC thread up soon with more info for those interested.

That sounds really cool, @Voidus. I hope it goes well!

Oh, and out of curiosity, whatever happened to the little WHiO video game you were working on so long ago?  

edit: Excellent post as usual, @Quiver.

I'm actually not sure, I had a level finished for it, pretty basic but still good, now I think it's buried in my folder of projects that I started but didn't finish.

I would definitely do so if I wasn't worried about just turning it into the Reckonersverse and then having copyright issues As it is I'll content myself with putting in little easter eggs that no one other than us will ever understand.

"I don't get it. Why does every NPC end their dialogue with 'And then Nighthound died'? What's a Nighthound?!"

"I don't know... but I'm getting the feeling I probably want him dead."

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

"Wait, why is 'And then Nighthound died' always a dialog option no matter what the characters are actually talking about?"

Actually I'm on board with Voidus' plan. Had an idea for a trapped PC that quickly decides that being trapped isn't so bad after all, and goes mad with power. Becomes a necromancer or something, becomes an antagonist for the other PCs who want to escape. He wants to keep them trapped in case they ruin his paradise by escaping.

 

So I'm excited

Yay! Theres another PC who will be in the game as an npc (if that makes sense) who I'm debating including in the rp version and playing. His character includes a lot of weird meta stuff.

[Blackhoof]

who is up next in Corvallis?

[Voidus]

I haven't been active there in a while so not sure.
