    Well it seems like I'm the most active person here currently, and I'm not completely sure what we should do, so I was just waiting for someone to do something, so I could agree with them. But if no one posts anything today, I'll do something tonight. It may not be in favor of the group as a whole however.

    I think we need to go to the island of Clandestein if we want to progress the main plot. But i think we should get good exp from dealing with the local beast infestation that bean found now.

    So I'll probably have to drop out of the game, or at least temporarily sit out. Probably evident from my lack of posting, but I wasn't sure if it was having an effect on the gameplay (as Tommy mentioned me in the Megaman Phalla :) ).

    I apologize but the game just seems to move at too fast a pace and Im rather busy with school. So it kinda builds up, since I often can't post during crucial times and than I get lost (as to whats going on)pretty fast.

    If Monday wants me to come back intermittently or something like that as a shady character or something(e.g. a plot device). I'd be glad to. Its just the rapid pace, I just can't keep up.

    Apologies

    I was actually wondering if I should implement post order seeing as the pace of these for forum Rps were actually far more lax than I had thought with dayyys between the same person posting. Im willing to implement it if that be the case ?

    For this mission:

    Those who probably wont be seeing themselves post (this week)- can choose to hang around the village and just play defense for the rest of the day (therefore allowing you to do macro actions that takes up whole hours to do; ie, make things, research, improve the towns condition, or just hang around and talk with the locals). Those who are in can go ahead and roleplay their involvement. But I request that the plot on the Holiday Inn track advance by at least one post a day.

    Other than that, I'll just be playing this by ear and responding to what you guys say or do. Guests are totally welcome btw.

    GANTZERS:
    you can discuss amongst yourselves how you wanna hit this here "Raid", since Ducky has already made his suggestions.

    And Egos, I'll be looking forward to seeing you, just pop in at ANYTIME.Cause sandman is just an interesting anti hero.
    for now you'll be keychained and carried off by mysterious person A. so just hit on those Overlays whenever you're good for it ! :D

    Sure, we're a bit short on people this mission- I may just insert you in before things get too

    Somethings first though,
    how often can you post ?
    sometimes things may get fast and I ask that you have the patience to read back , digest the information thats developed and put on some meaningful posts even if you're not in a position to go on as often as most people here do at times.

    I dont do post order, so there wont be so much of a limit on how many posts you can make a turn- but I wont hold it against people for not posting as much either so long as they have the capacity to account for the story's progression.
    On the other side of the fence sometimes I WILL just have to stop and wait for some folks so that they can catch up, not because its their fault but more likely because other players have over extended the limitations of their turn.

    other than that choose a class , ba kgrroud etc ill help

    I'll probably be able to post quite often, once or twice a day. and no problem, I have a feeling I have a gist of whats going on, as i've been reading a little in the IC thread, I also have an understanding of table top games (D&D, Warhammer, etc.) although I could be a little slower since I'm fairly new at pbp games.

    But yeah, I think I'll be able to keep up at a fairly steady pace.

    and yeah, i'm also having some troubles with the character creation, I'll be sure to come up with a backstory later today and hopefully the rest will go from there.

    I got a question monday. I have a group that does some DnD styled rped sessions and I really like the basics of how this system works. Have you written up the basics for combat by any chance. You have only shared whats needed for character creation in the thread. But I'm really like how this system works and was wondering if the basics <Rolling and combat calculation> where available.

    Combat Basics.

    Core rule: Should you want to perform an action in direct conflict against someone , roll the stat concerning the delivery of that action against a pair of the enemy's concerned stats. (Stat Defenses.)

    Start. Battles start as soon as one side acknowledge the other an enemy. The first party to go would be those with highest speed collectively. Each turn will revolve around a Side's Beat. For every side of the battle that represents their own interests is a side. IE. A barfight erupts between Dwarves and Humes; those who represent the human side of the argument will go on the "human" beat. Those who support Dwarves go on the dwarven beat- and the the 3rd group who just wanted to mind their own business but is opposed by the two other groups would be another party.

    Beats.
    On their Beat, each party can determine what actions they wish to do in the timeframe and order convenient within their party . (If you wish to implement turn order then you may do so- its of no consequence). When their turn is over the other side may go, and so on and so forth. Every turn you may only roll a d10 once- to boost any stat for the one action that you wish to perform that turn. (THough performing many actions are still possible, you will just have to split the base stat for each single one and roll them)

    Reactions (Complicated)
    When a side is active that means all others are on their OFF Beat. In which case- if they should want to perform a time sensitive action that goes against what those on the Active beat does then they must: spend their 1 reaction a turn, and if its time sensitive- Roll speed against the concerned party's precedent. (Spd+WIll) Mst reactions are used to defend against attacks.

    Should they fail their speed roll- their action doesn't make in time and will just have to wait till their Beat to use it. They are still counted as performing that action as a reaction however.

    ATTACKING:
    Melee Combat:
    Hitting> Roll aTek+Ranks in a weapon or skill compare against the defendants Indirect defense (aSpd+aEnd) "a" means active; factoring in current stat wounds, boosts, etc. Should the To hit over exceed their Indirect Defence by twice over or three times over, multiply damage by that much.

    Damage> aStr+Weapon's Atk - Enemy Armor. Damage will lower END or Take away from spirit. Should the Damage exceed the target's Threshold (Will+End) the opponnent is dropped for one turn or until they can get up again, disabling them from doing further actions until their beat comes up.

    Ranged Combat:
    Hitting> Tek+Skills -range penalty (-1 per 4 squares) vs Indirect Defense. (Spd +End)
    Criticals apply.
    Damage> Atk of weapon usually. Thrown weapons or Bows use STRassist+Atk to determine damage. (Assist means half of stat is registered.) Armor still applies unless bullets with armor ignore are used.

    Grappling> Make a str or tek roll + skills to attempt taking the opponnent down with your own body. The enemy's defending stat this time however is their CORPOREAL stat (Str+End). SHould that fail you are locked in grapple and he must roll the same to overtake you or escape.

    A LIST OF DEFENDING STATS. Please include this in everyone's character sheet for quick reference.
    -Indirect Defense: (Spd+End), if caught unawares, the target is flatfooted rendering their spd bonus discountable. ID determines how easy it is to hit you.
    -Damage Threshhold: (End+Will) if damage is greater than this number, player or opponnent is dropped. And cant move till its their beat again. If elemental magicks, or external conditions also assail you- attack this stat.
    -Mental : (Will+Emp) If the enemy is using magic attacks or playing mindgames attack this stat.
    -Corporeal (Str+End) If the enemy is engaging you in a contest of strength attack this stat.
    -Attention: (Spd+Emp), treat it like a reflex save, baddies and sneaks will roll speed or tek against this stat to sneak things passed you.
    -Precedent: (Spd+Will) should you want to roll an action before someone does anything, roll speed against this stat.

    MOVEMENT:
    Players can move the same number of squares as their speed. Should they want to cross more squares than necessary, roll speed or give spirit to boost it.

    Defending Actions:
    Should you want to use your reaction to defend against an enemy's attack- just say REACTION , hit the buzzer, or some thing and decide how you are going to avoid terrible pain during this turn.

    Evade: Roll speed, beat the opponnent's HIT. If it fails- opponnent's to hit registers normally and attacks your indirect defense. If it succeeds, you must move at least one square within your speed range.

    Block: Roll Speed to beat the opponnent's PRECEDENT. Flat Str+wDef(weapon Defense) will subtract against the enemy's damage to curb the effects of being dropped. Block can be rolled if your speed already beats their precedent.

    Defend: Hold ground and turtle up. Your to hit is now your wDef+Corporeal. Enemies must beat this to damage you.

    Parry: Roll speed, beat the opponnent's PRECEDENT. Your flat Tek+wDef will subtract against their HIT before it reaches its target if at all. Parry can be rolled if your speed already beats their precedent.


    MULTI TASKING:
    Should you wish to accomplish more than one goal in a course of your turn, know that only one stat is getting rolled while the other may register as flat. You can only multitask on your active turn however. On the same note, should these actions benefit from a single stat, split the stat's base bonus and distribute them for every breath of that action.
    Should Shooter Mcgee wish to fire at 5 targets (this is possible) His base stat is split (Tek) in 5, and each one is rolled seperately along with bonuses associated with that skill.

    His tek is 8, he has 3ranks in shooting. If he fires 5 times , his base bonuses stand at; 2+3,2+3,2+3,1+3,1+3
    which comes to, 5,5,5,4,4 before they are rolled.

    Another Example,
    Should you wish to attack twice with two swords, cut your tek half, apply bonuses to each and roll each.


    Taking Damage
    When a person recieves stat damage (usually End) , they have the choice of taking it to their spirit, which will subtract flatly from it, or absorb it through their stat.
    Should they absorb it, they will gain a wound with the same number as the damage's severity ( a 5knifewound or a 13hammerwound etc) Should these add up to more than the current stat (5+13 =18 , Dan has 14end) The wounded will go down one rank of that stat thereby making them weaker for the next attacks to come. (a 13 wound will now be enough to take Dan down 1 additional rank, if a weaker person took that with 6end it would go down 2 ranks)

    Similarly , stat wounds can happen to will and emp as well, ( a 5dissapointment, 10egowound,8pissedoff, 12939selfloathing ) the weight of these wounds will toll on their stat until they are forgotten or mended.

    I hope this helps, right now Im F*cking sleepy, hit me any questions if you still dont get it.
