I can always wait for mine if Star is ready before me. I need to participate in one so I can get the hang of things so she can go first *pushes StarFyre to the front* lol

And thanks for posting those, Star *goes to fiddle...again. heheehe*

"We're on a space station," Kalkin reminded the others, "do you think we ought to ... I don't know... not be on a space station that's exploding?"

Shard, I loved that line, btw.

*Is shoved to the front -- promptly falls flat on her face from the unexpected action and the sleep still clinging to her* I-ah-wut?

Hah, I can go if no one else wants to, though hopefully Dray and I will have some time to make sure these stats I've set up aren't retarded --

And speaking of stats... we started talking a bit about how everything was set up, and how things were still a bit muddled, and I brought up the Fireborn system as an example of something that "made sense" to me.

The long and short of it is this:

There are four stats, that fall into these categories:
Active Physical
Reactive Physical
Active Mental
Reactive Mental

Fireborn, of course, labels them as Fire/Water/Air/Earth respectively, but that's nothing more than tags. You can call the categories anything you want - you can even use the same four tags that we've been using, just tinker with them a bit.

Active Physical: Anything 'active' that has to do with physical actions falls here - attacking, a declaration to dodge or defend, traveling long distances (by physical means, like flight), etc.

Reactive Physical: Anything 'reactive' and dealing with the physical falls here - defending or dodging against an enemy's attack when you hadn't declared a defensive/dodge move, catching something that was thrown at you as a surprise, resisting a poison, etc

Active Mental - anything 'active' and has to do with the mind falls here - actively searching for things, casting a spell, using any of the Kinesis family of powers, etc

Reactive Mental - anything reactive and dealing with the mind - noticing things out of the corner of an eye when you're not actively searching, resisting spells, etc

As an example, Fireborn considers these actions as Physical: "Athletics, Melee, Stamina, Quickness, Ranged, Travel"

And these actions as Mental: "Casting, Crafting, Interaction, Knowledge, Medicine, Research, Senses, Stealth, Tech, Trickery, Will"

Just tossing that out there.

Hehehe.

Well it was really all I could do, given that they weren't even really aware of the whole situation in the other deck.

And of course, while Atrocity will be fuming about how much fun he missed out on, he *does* get to keep a lot of xenos, instead.

Okay, so work, PT, Howrse, and my aching hip and back.. have made me entirely too absent this week and I come back to /two/ pages of posts in this thread...

So, I admit, I skimmed and only read the big huge threads full of awesomeness! XD

Dray: I think Rifan had 20 points, yes? He got 10 for dealing the killing blow to the Praetorian... And awesome on the Yautja-mutt coming with them...

I think he and his bond will fit in nicely...

Phe: Woot! Blooded and Armored images!

If I weren't in pain I'd get up and do a little dance!

I will do my best to get those images up asap!

As for this coming Monday...I can't think of any characters to send...

And honestly, I may not be able to make it because assuming my back isn't sheer agony I really /need/ to go work with my horse...she's got an injury and needs to be out keeping it moving and I've been too busted/busy to get her out like I should...

If I think of some characters can I maybe show up late?

Post by **Dray** » Fri Oct 01, 2010 7:11 pm

Yes, it looks like in a few cases I missed adding that set of 10 to some of the characters, thanks for pointing that out!

Thankyas for paging those bursters, StarFyre! I'm going to try to finish the adult tonight, if possible, and then I'll be working on getting all of those coloured up to give away.

Are you sure that you'd like to take a campaign that lasts a little longer right after this Monday's, though? I wouldn't want to make you have up to four weeks in a row as a DM, if it came to that! Maybe if you want a break, someone can set up a one-night game, or we can have a free night for random interaction and potentially for setting later scenes?

Post by **Dray** » Sat Oct 02, 2010 8:45 am

Yakima and other Pern-lovers, would you guys like to have a night for an in-character Hatching? I know that the rest of us have been having fun with hunts and aven-bondings and parties, but that does leave out a chunk of the Nexus... if you guys think that holding an Impression via chat would be something you're interested in, please feel free to arrange a night!

Xenoqueen · Post by **Xenoqueen** » Sat Oct 02, 2010 1:11 pm

Gavin's getting RPed a little more over email lines. Interested parties can view Gavin-side logs here as they're completed: http://www.deviant-uprising.com/nexus/v ... hp?p=85707

I'm linking it through this thread mostly cuz Neisan(de), Rifan(de), and Snaedis get a shout-out for saving his life. ;)

I have thought about that, actually. I can use Akyth's clutch as a test though Nysheth's clutch would be more fun (at least the after party, even if their is little people could do against what happens then...) But well, maybe not...anyone up to facing hordes of undead? Then maybe I can work out a two-part Hatching RPG.

One a nice little hatching, two a all out brawl with the undead...don't worry, only my few chosen npc riders will die.

*smirks, liking the idea of RPGing somebodies return*

Okay, somehow all the comments that went through my head when I saw this somehow never got posted. XD Well they basically boiled down to: EEEEE~<3 I'm so glad to see them handed off to someone with a higher chance of using them than I ever did. ^^ Thankee for the links. <3

Post by **Dray** » Sat Oct 02, 2010 8:05 pm

That was fun, thanks for posting it up for others to read... so glad to see that his story can keep going (and that they both -- all -- have some more to add to the list of things to RP!)

Banned User · Post by **Banned User** » Sat Oct 02, 2010 9:23 pm

...Okay, I think I'm going with the Falas thing first - simple territory and I'm more comfortable with it. That is, if you're up to it. But first, I'll have to push getting clutches filled.

One, does anyone want to try a Pernese Hatching RPG style? (if you submit a character and don't want to participate, that's fine. We can spill into the Gather/Party, too.

Two, would anyone want to RPG Nysheth's hatching and the aftermath that will happen after during the party? I won't spill all but something evil is going to show up and try to destroy the riders of Falas. As Pern isn't magic orientated, they might/will need help. Philippe will be back to take care of the higher level guy, it's the background stuff that I was going to have Aenon and Jarel do...but, perhaps they had help? I think that would be fun to play out rather then me just writing it? its up to you? Anyone want to battle some undead ugly things?

Post by **Dray** » Sun Oct 03, 2010 8:42 am

The first one I would be willing to try, because it would be interesting to try to woo a dragonet of a certain kind over on the sands while vying with other characters. Maybe a bit of pre-hatching interaction would give us a basis for how we know the other Candidates, so that when the actual hatching occurred, we'd know who would act like friends or rivals.

The second one might be interesting for characters who had adopted from Falas in the first place. The FGCP is attached to the real Weyr, right?

The only thing that I would caution against, in the second, is that it sounds like our part would be ancillary, and that your characters would get the spot light -- in the D&D games that I've attended, putting so much weight on the DM's character has always made the game less enjoyable for everyone else. While killing a bunch of nasty undead things sounds awesome, it might be better if it weren't using characters that are so close to the DM's heart, y'know? What would happen if you had a player come in who says, "I attack Aenon/Jarel/Phillipe! :D" Not that any of us would do that, but if your first reaction was 'What?! No!!' or 'pff, they fail and stab themselves in the eye.' then those characters are probably a little too close to heart to be in the hands of the person in control of the game. X3

I do like the idea of killing a bunch of undead things that have swooped in on a Weyr. It hasn't really been done! And it gives me something t'do with my Falas (or I suppose at least FGPC dragons) to be shocked and horrified about!

Banned User · Post by **Banned User** » Sun Oct 03, 2010 11:21 am

I wouldn't be focusing at all on Philippe's fight. His is seperate, and Jarel and Aenon don't have to be their if I have other who can protect the people of Falas. K'man and J'ren are going to get seriously hurt and Yenna is a healer, not a fighter. It's gonna be a messy After-hatching...almost as bad as the End of Pass one...lol

PARTY AT STARFYRE'S PLACE!

BE THEIR OR PHILIPPE GETS ALL THE WINE!

LOL

Post by **StarFyre** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 5:02 pm

Heyo all -- RP will start shortly. Latecomers welcome! *trots off to write opening posts*

EDIT: Yakima beats me to the punch. Literally and figuratively *looks into empty punch bowl morosely*

Post by **Dray** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 5:25 pm

Degnabbit, Yakima, I don't want to be hauling a drunken elf home in a shopping cart! My partying days are behind me, y'hear?

(XD Wooh!)

Banned User · Post by **Banned User** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 5:35 pm

Don't worry, Dray.

Why do you think M'len tags along....

Unless M'len gets drunk to, then it's up to Seune. heehee

Post by **Dray** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 6:08 pm

Can winged wolves get drunk?

I'm frightened. :P

Banned User · Post by **Banned User** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 9:56 pm

Wanna find out, Dray?

aireona93 · Post by **aireona93** » Fri Oct 08, 2010 8:27 am

So, after the planned RPs have finished, and there is an open slot- would anyone mind me running one? I have a bit of plot ready in my head. XD

Also, sorry that I missed the last one... >.> School kinda eats up my life. I'm sure you all know the feeling.

Post by **Dray** » Fri Oct 08, 2010 8:48 am

Oh, definitely! I think that we're continuing the party from last week into this Monday, since some of us couldn't make it, but I'm not sure if Yakima's wanting to go after that or not!

Banned User · Post by **Banned User** » Fri Oct 08, 2010 1:56 pm

Well, no, unless I get candidate for Akyth's clutch to to a trial-run RPG Hatching at Falas Weyr. *shrugs* Though, I had the deadline for the 20th, not the 18th but if I get enough candidates for one, and people interested in the RPG (or even just showing up to interact...dunno), then I can go. Otherwise Aire can have it. I do want to claim a night or two for Nysheth's hatchings as close to Halloween as I can. lol Might as well have the Falas Attack of zombies and undead on the night their famous anyway. lol I think Nysheth's will end up being more of a two-night deal if anything, pre-hatching and hatching one night, then the real fun the next night.

Post by **Dray** » Sat Oct 09, 2010 8:41 am

Yakima, what if you took the 18th and 25th for your hatching, we did the Halloween-gather for less-than-reputable-characters on November 1st, and Aireona can launch into her idea from November 8th onward?

Depending on how your hatching goes, you may wish to consider bumping some of the action forward, so that by the 25th we can start off straight away with the fighting -- that part seems to take a while, so that might be helpful!

aireona93 · Post by **aireona93** » Sat Oct 09, 2010 11:37 am

Nov 8th sounds good to me! I have info that I need to get together before hand, so that gives me time.

Banned User · Post by **Banned User** » Sat Oct 09, 2010 4:20 pm

I really doubt I'll have all the candidates for that clutch. Akyth's clutch is due the 20th, Nysheth is the one that gets the fun stuff. I haven't got any more candidates for Akyth's clutch even with the announcement so I have a feeling I'll just hatch it or something. >.< I know schools going to people but, yeah.

If I have enough people I can run Akyth's RPG that night. Perhaps I should open Nysheth's clutch up, too, but again, I need candidates. I don't care if they're stat candidates, either. I just don't want them all to my my NPCs. >.<

Unless....I don't know. I need candidates before I can run anything, truthfully. I really don't want to skip to the attack without people having characters interacting (and the characters sent to watch the hatching don't have to be the ones who fight. If someone's character ends up getting 'killed', they're allowed to send in a replacement to keep going. They're not killed, just unconscious. Unless you find a way to heal them.

I might run the points differently then Dray. XD)

Anyway, I'll mark my calenders for those dates but I really don't know who's clutch is going to be what. I would like to kill zombies close to Halloween anyways, sounds good for the seasons. lol Otherwise, I /can/ wait...I just don't wanna. lol

And if people wanted to do some pre-hatching meetings with characters you can here, like some of us did for the Avengaea one. *shrugs* I'll pop in with my characters, too.

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Sat Oct 09, 2010 6:55 pm

I'll probably have a couple more candidates for you, but I've already got those fillers in

Didn't realize there was a gold possible, might try for that, but more in general.

Banned User · Post by **Banned User** » Sat Oct 09, 2010 7:01 pm

Akyth's clutch doesn't have the gold, Nysheth's dose. I just posted Nysheth's so that's why you probably didn't know. lol
