>_<

Thank god I don't have to plan it around an actual job or anything....

Oh wait.



So yeah, looks like I might very well miss the release. Don't have too much fun without me.

Don't worry jp...there will still be plenty of fun to be had when you join in.

Oh...Incidentally,I believe I've resolved Character Combat..
I'll be using various modified 40k character stat lines to simulate the characters in the rp...plus various weapons.
when Characters come into combat situations with other characters...these stats will be used to resolve combat.
NPC stats will be slightly weaker...most of the time..

@fitzz
O yea of little imagination.

And i'm okay with the dice/stat thing.

But do we have multiple wounds?

example: pc has 3, main npc 2, others 1

@ SillyBoy..

Yeah..I know,it's just whenever I think of " Hunters"...I think of Supernatural...I told you that series was an "obsession" for me now..

It is an awesome show

Basically yes, a PC will have 3 wounds..Major NPCs controlled by Characters will have 2,minor NPCs may have got stats ( )...
I'm also working on a plan to allow Characters to " Regenerate wounds"...for example,if a Vamp PC is almost killed,but escapes...he/she may regenerate 1 wound by feeding (though that could be risky) or avoiding combat/hiding out for a certain amount of time.

Its fluffy so

But players who play as hunter may find this less of a good idea.

I thought about that as well...and am considering allowing Hunters the same opportunity to "regenerate" minor wounds by avoiding combat and taking time to "Heal"...however,I believe Vamps and Wolves should be able to Heal faster due to their " Supernatural nature"...besides...If a hunter is seriously wounded by a Wolf...he'll be turning soon.

Now,don't get me wrong...Hunters will have certain advantages that Wolves and Vamps don't have,particularly in the weapons department and the "Information" department as well.

All "Races" will have advantages/disadvantages...it's up to the player to utilize what they have as best they can.

I'm going to post up all the various "Races" Stats later tonight.
This will perhaps help people in deciding for sure what character they wish to play as.

Wouldn't weapons be a probl.... ow yeah, its the USA.

but still silver bullets, don't come cheap.

And the race stats privilege thing would be nice to see.

Actually, Pure silver would be horribly cost inefficient, but there are other realistic ways to get the job done. However, I think ill keep that one to myself, just for the fact that I am considering going Wulfen.

Oh i've got a solution to it too. But for others its going to be a problem.

so you're going to be a wolf..... i just had a vision of throwing a chew toy at you. To make sure i get out if we meet.

Ok folks...here are the statlines I've come up with for each race.

Vampires
------------------------------
WS-6/BS-5/S-6/T-5/W-3/I-6/A-3/SV-3+

These stats are for a Vampire who has fed as normal,a starving Vampire reduces stats by -1 for everything except wounds and save until stats have reached -3 at which point a vamp loses a wound.

Vampires and sunlight- Sunlight counts as an instant-death weapon against Vamps,however to reflect a possible escape (if applicable) Vampires get one + 5 save to get to cover,if the save is successful the vampire takes a wound and counts as starving until it feeds again.

Werewolves
----------------------
WS-8/BS-3/S-7/T-7/W-3/I-6/Sv-3+

In Human form
----------------------------------
WS-6/BS-3/S-5/T-5/W-3/I-5/Sv-3+

These stats are for a Werewolf who has fed as normal,a starving Werewolf is subject to frenzy on a roll of 4+ until it feeds on flesh,a frenzied wolf Gains +1 to S and T,but is at -2 for all other stats other than wounds and saves.
Frenzy can occur at any random time for a Wolf who has not Fed,a wolf MUST feed during the full moon or frenzy will result on a roll of 2+
A wolf who suffers the effects of Frenzy loses one I point permanently for each episode.
Wolves and Silver-Silver is lethal to Werewolves and counts as a poison attack costing one wound for each successful attack,a wolf may attempt a 5+ save against death by silver,if successful..the Wolf is reduced to one wound and must flee to attempt to recuperate.

Hunters
------------------------
WS-6/BS-6/S-4/T-4/W-3/I-5/Sv-3+

These Stats are for an uninjured hunter,a hunter that is injured by a Werewolf and loses all his wounds dies on a roll of 1-3 and is infected on a roll of 4-6.
A hunter in normal combat with a Vampire is killed when all wounds are lost,however the Vampire may decided to transform the hunter and will be successful on a roll of 3+.

Hunters will have access to various weapons that will present themselves in the RP,but will start the RP with two firearms + standard ammo,in addition each Hunter will start with 10 rounds of silver ammo,Hunters will also start with a single bladed weapon (not Silver) and Stakes or a crossbow and 10 bolts.
Hunters will also be allowed one Talisman ( for either Vampires OR Werewolves) witch allows them One Auto save Wound.

Well...those are the basic stats for PCs,I know that there will be situations that arise during the RP that the Stats don't cover and for the most part when such a situation does arise...I'll roll for it,just to attempt to keep everything fair.

If anyone has any questions whatsoever PLEASE feel free to ask me..
This is the First RP in which I've put on the GM hat...and I'm sure I'll make some mistakes here and there,but I'm really hoping that everyone who takes part in this RP enjoys themselves.

Launch Date will be Tomorrow...so stay tuned.

I'm not so sure about using dice to determine what happens, its kind of a stupid idea.

I know right...I got the idea from the system this clown named after a bag of chips is using for his RP....what was I thinking?

That RP sounds like a bore, someone should find the guy who came up with the idea and bust his knee caps... one second, my doorbell just rang.

He looks trustworthy enough, as long as you promise to return the hammer back in the same condition it was before, those things can get pricey you know.

And...yes..I have noticed that we have all "Female" PCs. so far..

Somehow if we think of vamps/wolfs.... we always think of hot/gothish Females.

I blame hollywood and hormones.

I admit that vampires do put me in mind of Goth Girls...Wolves however put me in mind of Ted Nugent..

I fear chowder char so much, right now.
