Modern Dark Fantasy - [EX]

[Thufir Hawat]

Ah...thanks for the link. 

...lovely...I'm liking it already.

You are welcome ;).
Yeah, it's a nice game. These are some of the games I like most, and I have reasons to like each and every one listed!

[precious]

interested! o_oo

[OldSchoolGamer]

So where are we going with this?  I can write some backstory for the wormhole/portal area if y'all like.

[Question Mark]

I think we're getting warmer here.  Maybe I'll try mapping some of this ouit, write a little backstory.

I think I'll do that too.

[Chat Noir]

I'm interested, by the by. Once a system is settled upon I will need some help getting the hang of it because I've not played much for system games but I'm sure I can pick it up.

[LadyDiscord]

I second that notion.

[Thufir Hawat]

If the GM picks a system from my list, both of you can PM me with any questions ;).
No, I'm nto going to make your characters for you :P. Questions are fine, though.

[LadyDiscord]

Wouldn't ask you to. :P But thanks! It shouldn't be to hard to grasp.

[Thufir Hawat]

No, it shouldn't >:). I took care to only recommend systems that are not only free and work well for such a kind of game, but also are short enough to be grasped fast.
Oh, and you are welcome :P!

[Atlus]

NEMESIS is the system. It's got what we need and is flexible enough to grow with the game. Look for a solidified setting in the near future (not tonight, I need sleep). I'm shooting for a weekend start date. Those of you writing setting background can send it to me via pm and we'll discuss.

[Thufir Hawat]

How many dice do we get to create characters >:)?
Also, what kind of solidified setting are you looking for? I might know something free that fits it, too.

[Indigo]

-if this is still on the table-

To expand on Thufir Hawat's question on character creation, will we be permitted to make more then one?  I asked earlier, but never had that clarified.  Also, I will send a few thoughts on setting background to you, Atlus, as you requested, as soon as I write them out.

[Chat Noir]

I'm gonna need someone to give point me in the right direction for where to go on the NEMESIS website to find a character sheet/create a character when this all starts. I'm totally system-retarded when it comes to going it all alone.

[Indigo]

Indigo, I only offered free systems for obvious reasons, so here is a link for NEMESIS.
http://www.nemesis-system.com/what-is-nemesis.html
It's also a free download, so you can look up the rules from this link. I guess we might not be allowed to use spells, at least not in the beginning, and it might be a bad idea even if we are, but you've got to ask the GM about this... ;)

I quote what Thufir Hawat linked up above.  :-)  (please note edit below)


--edit, also, you don't have to download, just 'view', when your looking through things, if you wish.  It's a PDF format that way

--another edit!
To be more specific on your questions;

[Thufir Hawat]

Chat Noir, just ask and you'll get an answer... :P

Atlus, I think that besides the number of dice, we also need to know whether the "supernatural" advantage is allowed in play ;). It tends to make a real difference... ;D

[Chat Noir]

Thanks for the more direct links, it's what I was trying to ask for, lol.

I might not be able to figure out building a character on my own. I might just be too system retarded for this ^^;

Assuming I can slog through the character creation and not cock it up massively I'm all for it though

Everything she said pretty much applies to me as well.

[Thufir Hawat]

Nobody here is "too much system-retarded"!
How do I know this? You are all successful with using a personal computer, or you wouldn't be posting here ;). A computer is a much harder system to operate, you're just more familiar with it.
As I said, ask for directions, I'm here to help. I find that most people just never had anyone to explain them the "how" and "why" of using a system.

[Callie Del Noire]

I'd like to play a d20 Modern 'Shadows' game of some sort. Never seem to pool interest into it on the local game store level.

I think it would be fun to be a teifling/drow(or half-drow elf) growing into his/her abilities and come down to the big city chasing after a father the character never knew and finding a whole new 'darker' world.

[Thufir Hawat]

You can certainly play that concept, if Atlus allows it, but the system for this game would be NEMESIS. It's no big deal to create a dark elf with this system.
I guess we are waiting for GM's input... ;)

Never used it. ;d And to be honest I thought the dark elves/teiflings got the short stick for their LA penalty.

[Thufir Hawat]

I don't see a point in discussing LA penalties, since we won't be using D&D anyway. In NEMESIS, your dark elf is not penalized for being of a particular race, at least not by the game itself.
Now, in the setting, dark elves might have something of a bad reputation, since they usually do, but it's up to the GM... ;D
