Anime Beyond Fantasy, Roll 20. Living Sins of Solomon.

[ZameRagues]

The mountain range of Tol Jaegren along the inside of Abel's Eastern has always been home to stories and rumors of it's passages. A band of thieves, that attacks everyone passing through, leaving you to die in the cold with nothing. Squads of soldiers, waking up back at the base of the mountain range overnight. A floating figure that envelopes everything in a darkness to frighten travelers away. The Angel of Chaos himself claiming the mountain as his own, calling misfortune upon all who trespass. [/i]

Starting out characters will be level 1, using method 1 for rolling stats from the core rule-book. Don't worry about rolling on appearance just choose a value under 10. Nemesis is the only banned thing from the books. I'd like to see a balance between male and female characters if possible. Willing to take 4 maybe 5 players at most.

Game Schedule
Saturdays have become our game days, will not be every Saturday.

[ZameRagues]

Okay, I have the core of my campaign set as well as a name for the game story.

[eavatar]

Besides the core boo, which other books are ou allowing?

[ZameRagues]

All of them.

[Muse]

  Excelent. 

  Too bad we haven't gotten anyone else to chime in... 

[Malixe]

I am super in :OO

[ZameRagues]

Just had to say something Muse.  Welcome Malixe. I"ll get the roll 20 campaign up so everyone can put up/work on the character sheets.

[Isengrad]

Now is this roll 20 going to be a shedule even sort of deal? Or will be using it as something of an interactive play by post?

Cause I would love to get back into anima, maybe revive my phychic warrior Pyro again. But meshing shedules is always a pain.

[ZameRagues]

Hmm, It was to be a scheduled thing, I'm wondering if the play by post would be easier for all of us though.

[Isengrad]

Roll 20 could always be used as the map, while rp and rolls could be forum based. I always found that to be useful, either that or ditzie, but then that requires everyone to post and updated map from the last one. So a virtual tabletop would be a better option.

Forum rp would also be good for archives, most tabletop games suffer from lack a note keeping. However with a forum game you can check the older posts or get up to speed if you missed a bit.

Also it's always fun keeping record of the sexy times if there was a particularly hot scene.

Also, my guy will be male

[Malixe]

For future player considerations I'm thinking my character will be male, of the DOmine archetype, and primarily melee :D

[Hephaestus]

  Just chiming in to show my interest. Ill try to get you guys on skype soon!

[Malixe]

Hephaestus! Jes :D Do also join.

[ZameRagues]

Welcome Hephaestus.

Those who haven't, please roll stats on roll20 so I can see them.

[ZameRagues]

So it could be another week and a half before I hear about my upcoming work schedule. Right now I have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays off. I will put up a Small group thread so we can at least get started and hopefully all play together in the future.

Starting post is done.

[ZameRagues]

My schedule has been resolved, I can host basically anytime.

[Muse]

  Woot! 

  I helped Heph throw his numbers together last night. 

[eavatar]

Just set the day and time bossman

[ZameRagues]

Well, when can everyone play? I'll host when most convenient for everyone else.

[eavatar]

Any day but fridays so far

[Isengrad]

Saturdays might be our best bet then. I work for UPS and am getting up balls early(2-3am est) for work monday-friday. Saturday I can sleep in and stay up late if we start after like 6pm est. between 12-5 pm est on saterdays i might be at the local library volunteering where my Wife works.

[ZameRagues]

Update - Looking for a female character to replace one of our group that has vanished.

Our vanished member has returned having disappeared do to technical difficulties. My apologies

[Jefepato]

So are you playing the game entirely on Skype?  What time on Saturdays do you play?

I have all the Anima books released in English (*shakes fist impotently at lack of Core Exxet*), but I've only gotten the chance to play once, and only briefly.  If I can fit it into my schedule (sadly not guaranteed) I'm certainly interested.  What types of characters could the group use?

[ZameRagues]

Yo, glad to see more people interested. Our vanished member did reappear, computer issues, day before you posted. If someone does decide to leave our group you are welcome to join us in their place.

[freeko]

Would a secondary game be possilbe? I say this since I was also interested in looking into this, but until this morning was unable to act upon it as I was not approved yet until this morning.

[ZameRagues]

Hmmm . . . I could. It would be just you and Jefepato, just to keep it simpler then my other game. If that's alright with the two of you, I'll run a second game.

[freeko]

Not sure how I missed this, but if they are in then I would love to give it a go.

[eavatar]

if you wish, I can join this group too. I think some games run better with trios

[ZameRagues]

If you'd like to sure. A trio would probably be better, so if you're okay playing the same game twice then it'll be the three of you.

[Jefepato]

Okay.  So what character types are people interested in playing?

I was playing a Tao in the one game I actually got to join briefly.  I wouldn't mind trying that again (although I didn't have Dominus Exxet at the time -- looks like martial arts got more complicated), but lots of other classes look interesting too (even if the various magic/psychic/summoning stuff is kinda daunting).

[eavatar]

I don't mind. Every group has a different dynamic and a different way to solve everything

[ZameRagues]

Are you playing the same character or a different one?

Psychic I think is the easiest to learn, Ki second. Martial arts does get a bit complicated with the Dominus book.

[eavatar]

A different one. Maybe a Tao or a mentalist

[Jefepato]

Martial arts does get a bit complicated with the Dominus book.

The part that threw me was how martial arts were each divided into three levels.  If I'm remembering right, the second level of each art was generally equivalent to that art's corebook form...but learning the second level often had higher prerequisites than the corebook version of that martial art, which seemed like it could disadvantage starting characters a bit.

If eavatar is considering playing a Tao, I might just go with an Acrobatic Warrior or Weaponmaster.  I feel like it might be easier to play something relatively straightforward while I get used to the system.

We can coordenate backgrounds if you wish.

[ZameRagues]

I know when Eavatar can play, when can you two play (Freeko and Jefepato)?

[freeko]

I just got done with day one of the convention i am at this weekend. After this weekend i have another in two weeks. I am mostly available at all times otherwise unless I am working. I work 6-9am and 2-4pm eastern time.

[Jefepato]

My offline gaming group has mostly been doing Sunday evenings lately, so I'm kinda tentatively good for mid-to-late Friday afternoons CST (I usually get off work early on Fridays, at least with my current project), or a bit earlier than that on Saturdays and Sundays.  (I apologize for not being more certain; the guy whose condo we usually meet at started a new job recently, and it's a little unclear if his schedule will stay the same from week to week.)

We can coordenate backgrounds if you wish.

Sure, but I must admit I haven't thought very hard about background yet.  Do you have anything in mind?

[freeko]

If you two can think of something, i'll run with it. I wont really be able to do much until monday. I can try to patchwork a character on my way home sunday, but no guarantees.

[ZameRagues]

Would like the group to be M/F/F or M/M/F, and no nemesis are my only restrictions/requests for the group.

[Jefepato]

I was vaguely thinking of playing a female character, but I could go with either gender really, so your requirements shouldn't be a problem.

[freeko]

Well, I am 100% playing female character. Probably the only other rigid thing with me is I am out if any kind of herm/futa shows up.

I think in a perfect world if this were a scheduled rp session, I would say monday nights are best for me traditionally. 5p-12a is generally the biggest open spot I have right now on monday night. I am eastern usa time as well if that matters.

The time however is certainly up for negotiation. I just mention my most open spot for convenience.

[Jefepato]

If need be, I can probably be around most weekend nights, starting around 8 PM CST or so.  I can't go too late though, I have work in the morning currently and I need at least some sleep (it's a temp job so who knows how long that'll last, but it's proven remarkably long-lived so far).

[eavatar]

I can play on mindays, no problem, And I am going to play a female character. It isn't a tao, I am going to head to a mage mentalist path

[Jefepato]

Then I guess I will play a male Tao.  This might be a little weird if I use the Dominus Exxet rules for martial arts, but I'm reasonably sure it'll work out.

[Jefepato]

Anyway, Zame, is this going to be set in the standard Gaia setting?  Any particular traits that our characters should have, other than a general willingness to investigate whatever's going on in the mountains?

[ZameRagues]

Yes, standard gaia settings. No, nothing special you'll need.

[Jefepato]

Okay, cool.  One minor question that I don't recall seeing an answer to in the books: do DP spent to learn martial arts count toward the 60% limit I can spend on Combat Abilities?

[ZameRagues]

Yes it counts
