[fallensaviour]

[avorae]

I am so down for ascion game!!!! :D

[Zebu]

I'm up/down/sideways for it; who'll be running it and will they stay?  Or will everyone who wants to take turns designing story arcs?

[fallensaviour]

well i was going to run...and i'm looking for between 4 to 6 people to play...though we could do an alternating st thing

[avorae]

I suck at running WW so don't look at me if you all decide on the alt ST.

[Zebu]

No, no, if you want to do all the work I won't stand in your way!  I was just suggestign the idea.

[Muse]

[Muse]

[fallensaviour]

[fallensaviour]

anyways...there would actually be a plot that i would be activly trying to advance...if sex happens it happens...though (depending on your prefferences) some nc might happen with villians and such...but yea...

[Zebu]

Oooh, we get to rape the villains!  I like this RP already!

[Ironwolf85]

the last scion game I tried to join moved to a site I could not get to.
now that I can... the boat sailed.
ah well... I'd be glad to play a scion, but know little of the system
I thought it was called Exalted and the players were called Scions cuz they came from deities

[fallensaviour]

well...the system has been called exalted version 3 but no its not exalted

[Elohim]

I'm down.

[Ironwolf85]

eh why not I browsed the newest core book, their world seems interisting.
this the Scion set in the modern world from 2ed
or set in the new one I saw that had the Epic fantasy world based on eastern mythology?

[fallensaviour]

this is scion by white wolf...not any form of exalted unless i've missed anything there isnt a 2nd ed yet

[HairyHeretic]

Scion and Exalted, while similar, are two different games. Different worlds, different backgrounds, different metaplot, different powers.

[Ironwolf85]

sign me up I know the background of scion, but I'd also like to play exalted

[Empyrean]

I'd be interested in playing as well. :) Where is the game to be set and what level (Hero, Demigod, God) are we starting as?

[avorae]

Whee!!! See fallensaviour I told you that we would get enough peeps to join the game. We have like 6 or 7 interested already. So like when can we get this thing started

[fallensaviour]

excellent excellent...i was thinking hero base characters (ie only 15 bonus points, i may award more xp/bp for good backgrounds) and  for the starting post i'd like at least a few lines about what you are doing on your normal average day...conviening of players will be done in game...

[Muse]

Any starting point of interest?

gods can get plane tickets for you relativly easy

[avorae]

So shall we post concepts/ histories here or are there a specific board you want to set up for that?

[EmptyEternity]

I don't have much knowledge about the setting itself, but from what I've been told its something akin to modern day Exalted.

If that is the case then I'm totally down for it.

[fallensaviour]

hmm good question...i'm going to go with send me an im with everything...then i can make a basic bio page for people...keep some of the mystery if people cant tell what you can do because of ooc stuff...like a board of stats

[avorae]

No problem. I'll work up my concept and history tomorrow and send it in.

[Empyrean]

What pantheons/deities are allowed or is it all fair game?

[HairyHeretic]

The setting is the world as it is right now, bar whatever changes your GM decides to add.

Try to set aside the Exalted angle. While knacks and charms may be similar, legend and essence, they're not the same thing, and believe me, the power level on Scion ramps up VERY fast, thanks to the automatic successes you Epic abilities grant you.

[fallensaviour]

all fair game though i was hopping for more along the lines of actual characters not just blocks of uber stats involved in the story

Ergo, less niceties and more shotgun diplomacy. I like this system already. 

[Beatrice Black]

I'm potentially interested.

Do you have a specific concept for what the series would be about? "An average Scion game where you fight threats as they crop up" would be an acceptable answer here, but if you have something in mind like "you must stop an attempt to shatter the gates to the Underworld" that would be good too when planning possible characters.

i do have a specific concept...but if i told you the plot where would the fun be :P

[HairyHeretic]

What do you have in terms of characters so far?

[Beatrice Black]

Well then, I don't think that was an unfair question, but never mind.

[fallensaviour]

you're right its not unfair...but i dont know how much detail i can give away without spoiling plot

[Zebu]

Ask yourself what you want your players to be like.  Do you want us blundering around in the dark, trying to find the enemy hiding in the corner?  Do you want us to have a vague, oracle-type prophecy ("When the chariot of the Orient is ascendant, the Chosen shall stand before the breaking land and decide the fate of Olympus") and nothing more?  Do you want us to know the primary enemy on a first-name basis, or think we do?  Do you want it to be like a battle with no fog of war, where we know all the problems and just have to find a way to solve them?

[fallensaviour]

well...the idea i had was that this would all start withr you recieving a personal and rped summons to a central location...but for the most part treat it like a "average game where you fight threats as they pop up" only there's a plot behind it

[Muse]

So like Buffy/Charmed/Whatever is on these days. 

We go to "the hellmouth" and try to establish a real life there while batttling the spawn of the titans. 

As with Babylon Five, while basically episodic some of the time, every few "epsidoes" part of the underlying plot will be revealed.  :)  As it's impact upon the story heats up, the story will take more direction, and we'll have too fight for the life we've built. 

Something like that? 

[fallensaviour]

yes...thats much more elloquent than what i had in mind

[Zebu]

So where are we on this?  Does anyone have an idea of who/what they want to be?

[avorae]

I have already sent my character sheet and history to the ST for approval. I am not sure if I should reveal anything yet as he has yet to approve anything yet and he said he wanted to set up a page with the info that we know about each other without giving away our stats and or secrets.

[fallensaviour]

actually...what i said was i didnt want you giving away stats and secrets cause you all probably wont really know each other first :P

[avorae]

Ok so i got it partially right. You still did not want us to reveal anything as of yet. Besides I am not sure if I should even give them the basic concept until its approve cause I might need to change some things. ::)

[Empyrean]

I'm working on mine but it should be done today. :)

[Zebu]

I gave Fallen two possible bios and I'm waiting to hear which one he wants before I write up a sheet.  Always avoid math if you can!

[fallensaviour]

yea yea gimme a min been kinda busy with the sleeping and the working

[Zebu]

Bah, someone needs to sort out his priorities.  Be like me and sleep on alternate weekends.  You'd be amazed at how many hours there really are in a day!

[Ironwolf85]

..... wow

[Zebu]

Thread's up!  https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=72763.0#new

Just psot your character doing whatever he would be doing on a normal day, and Fallen will take over from there.

And no, the title isn't misspelled.  How could you doubt me?

[fallensaviour]

also in case i forgot to mention it scent the divine is free and always on...
