I've seen the Factorum. I think that's too much cheese for me. I can pick a class, I don't need to have them all.

For that matter, Dungeon Crasher from the same book is also kinda broken.

Hey, I don't complain when there is a reason to take fighter beyond 4 levels.

Also, about changelings. I would have them be something rare, the cross between a dopleganger and a Human. Usealy, when the child is born, both it and the mother are put to death. I'm one of the rare cases that lived.

Re: synchronicity, by itself. . . well OK, ready an action before your turn even comes up, but combined with some other stuff it pretty much rules the world. So maybe we can just stay away from it if it's not a huge issue.

As for the changelings explanation, being rare for being killed at birth would pretty much support the decision to make them a race that many would loathe and take actions against. So yeah, you can go for it with that in mind.

Any more issues we need to discuss?

I'm working on the character points system and getting it typed up so i should have it ready by tonight. It's gonna be a bit different than how I originally explained it since I took a few things into consideration. But I'll put it up and you guys can let me know what you think, ask questions, and decide if you want to implement it or now.

[Deekin]

I'll Change my race to human. Can't make the build work otherwise.

[Rojito]

I've Gone human as well

[roguewolf]

hehe I've gone halfling

Edit : Wow, except for page 3 I'm at the start of all of 'em O.o

[Rojito]

I think the trickiest part is going to be introducing us, cause uhh we dont just announce we are starting a guild... I mean i picture myself and Effen being old friends, but the rest of you i have no idea who are

[TheZebraShakes™]

So guys, are we gonna be looking for our own boards or do we want to run this out of the Shorts section?
I'm sure KMan would give us something, but we can't really go ahead without a name. Well I guess we could be elusive like that, but then there'd be nothing to click on.

So does anyone have any ideas based on the direction that we seem to be going in?

Also, I have the Character points stuff ready, but I'm gonna post it in the out of Game Discussions area even though we're technically not a game yet. No need to get this thread cluttered with twelve different discussions, cause I'm sure there might be questions and concerns to address.

So check for it there in a bit. I'll post a link here when it's up though. Just have to make up a table with these annoying tags.

The alternate Wealth System can be found here.

Please note that changes were made so it is not exactly reflecting what I had previously stated.

you can find it and post about it here

And for those of you who sent me characters, I won't get a chance to look at them until tomorrow night at the earliest. Just wanted to let you know.

[Rojito]

wow uhh i actually find that rather confuseing... but onto the point of this post.

The direction of the game.. As i see it we are attempting to setup/start an Assassins/Thieves guild. For most of our characters that means rogue-esk array of abilities... But I figure we need a Guildleader to both organize the guild and deal with the... outside elements... So as i see it started we are probably a group of bums lookin around wondering why we dont do something to change the world, or our small part of town (mainly based urban?) so we all decide to try something spectacular and start with working on some quests... to each his own for what idea they wish the guild to go, personally i think we should roleplay this idea out and see where it goes, i see my character as the guildleader and my first objective would be a guildhall, while the more... unorganized of us might think that the first order of business might be to make a name for ourselves... up to the characters... Anyway thats just my idea, willing to listen to any and all others.

[TheZebraShakes™]

Roleplaying it out would be great. First you guys can decide out of character how you all came to be together. Maybe one of you can start a flashback scene or something and each can add to it if you want to roleplay that out too.

But we can start with you all just chillin' in an inn room or at a bar and talking together. Coming up with stuff like that or however you want to start out Just let me know. I'll PM KMan about getting up some boards so you guys can start once characters are at least tentatively ready.

[Rojito]

i was actually thinking if starting the RP there, forcing us to start out without a place or anything and seeing where it goes from there

[roguewolf]

i might be repeting myself, but, we can have dozens of 1 typed items but none that are the same? (except rings which are two)

[TheUdjat]

Let's call it 'Dark Intentions' or something, since we're going for an evil-themed game. Other suggestions are welcome, since that title's the cumulative work of 5 seconds of thought.

We can start without a guildhall, etc - that's fine. But we should start out knowing each other, at least tentatively. Rojito mentioned an interest in leading, so until there are alternate suggestions, I'll go with that. We've been working on our own independent endeavors, committing crimes or wreaking havoc in other ways, and he decides to gather these individuals together into a cohesive, working group. A guild to rule to underworld of the city - quash or assimilate our rivals, exploit the masses, etc. We begin with that meeting, where he lays out this plan and we discuss what to do. Sound like a plan?

Since we still son't all have characters, we can't really get going on that, but that's a decent place to start, I think. When we do start.

I'll go check out the alternative wealth thing now.

[Yakumo]

I'm really interested in this, I haven't played an evil game and that alt. wealth thing seems really interesting. If you can afford to have another player Id be willing to join, as right now Im only a part of Random acts with ZS, Udjat and rojito

[roguewolf]

Hey guys, i have a friend, his name is Moroth and hes thinking of joining this campaign k?
Hehe dark intention's
Dark sun + Masked intentions... sounds nice ;D

[Moroth]

Yes I am, I'm thinking of making a blackguard (because its an evil campaign).

[TheUdjat]

Well goodness, we're just bursting with players. Welcome aboard, gentlemen? (Unless Shakes wants to limit the number of people, which would be understandable)

[Moroth]

Yeah I would understand that too, I'm a DM in real life, me and RogueWolf know each other and I've DMed a few campaigns with him. I know its hard with over 5 people playing.

[Yakumo]

If Shakes would like to limit the number, I will step down so Moroth can play. Otherwise I would very much like to try this out.
