I have an idea as to how to bring everyone up to speed on Rping, and the expectations associated with it. I'll have a think, but it could really help. I think it would be aimed at newer people, to show them the ropes.

was that aimed at me???

What ya thinking Ghosty?

Something with a 75% mortality rate I think.


Otherwise rules for an RP should be something like this:

1) Don't try to kill off other players in your own RP, its not your place to do so, only the GM can do that. Lucky son of a...

2) Check your grammar if possible, the translation for the internet is not the best so some things may be lost between english to whichever and from whichever to english. We can't fault anybody except for Al Gore, inventor of the internet, for that.

3) Over the top actions should be avoided if possible, no Ninja Assassin stuff or anything like the train scene in Lost Planet 2.

4) Try to have fun, sure writing an RP can seem like a chore but the overall product is something to be happy with. Your posts reflect on whether or not it was something you labored through or something you enjoyed writing.

5) If you have issue with something a person has posted please take care of it via PM instead of on the RP.

6) If you decide to edit a post please put a reason, if its something that changes the RPs of other players it can lead to a trainwreck that takes awhile to fix.

7) Everything can be fixed, its not like its impossible to go back and repair any mistakes so if you make one just tell us that you're working on it.

8) No funny posts or RPs, I reserve the sole right to do so.

I love it...

Hypothetical question: If a werewolf got it's arm torn off, but it retrieved said limb, could it stick it back on, and regenerate the injury?

And what happens when werewolves die, do they stay in wolfy form or do they transform in to human corpses

How long do the Ghouls live?
And do they only have old age as specialty or do they have something else in their sleeve?

And of course, how do you become a Ghoul? Just by eating flesh of human(s)?

Ghouls are immortal, made so by the ritual consumption of human flesh. One becomes a Ghoul by performing a ritual involving a ghastly banquet of forbidden meat.

So you have to eat cute pupy's? That's cruel.

Ninja'd..But of course Mordo has the origins of a ghoul "dead on" (there I go with the puns again)...
...As for it's unnaturally prolonged life being the only trick a ghoul has up it's sleeve...certianly not...a ghoul could be a media head,hold high political or military office...or even be a Hunter....a ghoul has the potential to be a master infiltrater...
I'm also debating the idea of allowing ghouls the ability to utilize certian "black magic" as well.

Interesting question...as I do plan to allow "regeneration" for Vampires (under certian circumstances)...

As far as werewolves go, I believe that they turn back into a human when they die.

I'd like to join.

I've sent out recruiting messages, so expect some more activity on this thread. Also, I'm not sure when I'll be able to get the Sorcerer and Magick rules up, so FITZZ, would you be so kind...?

Yeah,I'm sticking with the old " Larry Talbot" action on this ...though I can't promise poetry spouting Gypsies for every Werewolf who buys the farm.

I'll post them up tonight Mordo.....unless I get a chance sooner...

Ooh, can you do Witchunter stats too. I'm looking into that type, but it's still under construction....

Can I join? I would really like to be in the second one!

I'm definately joining

Will do Silly...I'm going to attempt to go through everything and post it all together...thanks to Mordo this will not be as absolutely insurmoutable a task as it would have proved to be had I had to do so on my own..

@ Nachos and Larkin...

I assumed you guys would be in the sequel...already had your slots saved.

Thanks Fitzz

A bit of stuff happening for last 24hrs, but will get examples of the Hunter Merits/flaws up tonight if all goes to plan. Tomorrow or Friday I should get time to go digging in my Werewolf books to bring some extra meat to theirs as well.

On a side note, a question to FITZZ/Mord and probaby the rest of folks. Do you want me to start converting Archtypes of the Nature/Demeanor system here as an option, or leave for the moment?

Thanks as well
My friend may also be joining

Still thinking about the best aplication for the Nature/Demeanor system within the RP framework...I personally like the concept a lot,but am wondering if it may over complicate the RP... ...
I'm thinking a simplified version would perhaps be the best way to incorperate the system into the RP..

EDIT:...As with the Vice/Virtue ideas...the Nature/Demeanor archtypes should remain fairly simple and easy to adapt into the RP...
I really love the concepts....but don't want things to become so complicated that PC's (or myself) begin to loose track of who has what traits..

Aye, I'm just thinking it's more open for RP than virtue/vice. Perhaps as it has little bearing to our game, drop the demeanor aspect, and just select one as a nature of the PC.

If they hide that nature its up to them, but when following it openly some kind of bonus can/could occur?

Exactly...the adherance to ones selected "Nature" and it's applications in RP would convey certian bonuses from time to time..

Sounds good, well I'll start converting more over the next few days so we can see the many options.

On a total side note FITZZ, your birthday isn't coming up is it?
Need an excuse to buy you a DCM membership, as someone who was posting and enjoying that Superhero thread we worked on a few months back, you need to see my thread in DCM.
