Hmm... I think I might be interested. I'll probably need some help, because the last time I played GURPS was years ago, but I'm willing to give it a shot. If there's still an opening at least that is.

Vergil1989

I think we can squeeze you in Masterofgames.  Welcome aboard.  ;D  Now just hoping no one has forgotten about this game is all lol.

Don't worry, for some of us we've never played gurps before!  ;)

Alright, peoples. The IC thread should be up. Intro your charas while I figure out something for the chara sheets!

And hey there, masterofgames. If you know how to use an IRC client, point it at SorceryNet, room name is #CoC-OOC. I'll help you out.

EDIT: Re Z L, Sara, pastebin me your finished charas. I'll make a coded chara sheet for each of you, and any others that come, in a separate thread.

If you have the code for the sheets could you share it with the rest of us? I just want to make sure I haven't missed anything too important...
"I believe in dragons, good men, and other fantasy creatures." - Slovotsky's Law #42

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”― Neil Gaiman, Coraline

“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” - Terry Pratchett (Rest in Peace, Master Storyteller)

Dorian Grandale

I have met with no success making a standard coded sheet. I'll make custom ones for each as I go.

Well looks like yall have already started.  However, I'd really like to get in on this if there aren't too many people yet.

Mind if I join?  I might need help creating a character sheet since this looks like a system setup.


Lastly, good on you vergil for starting this up again.

Teo Torriatte

Not to speak for the GMs, but there might be a spot as I will need to bow out. I really did want to play, but with my current net issues, I may have to bow out of a few games I have already started in, and it wouldn't be fair to them if I started another one after that.

The plot to this one is so tempting to me, but I've never even looked at a gurps rulebook before.

gurps is easy, download the lite version for free from their homepage

Vergil1989

No worries Luna and it's good to have our new faces.  As has been said already, GURPs isn't really that complex really but there are a few rules aye.  The rules are easily obtained off their website and Dorian is the guy to talk to in regards to the system itself.  I'm in charge of the story element to this.  If you need to ask anything, feel free guys and gals.

And Dorian, I can't edit right now but when I can I'll add the new link to the list.

(gah made a mistake she has 2 unspent points not 1..)


Nadia is a young woman born on the road as her clan is constantly moving from place to place in their colorful wagons, trading their expertise in magic and alchemy for coin and the goods they need. Born with a witch of a mother it was only natural that young Nadia would follow in her mothers footsteps ans she very early showed an aptitude for healing magics, in fact it came very natural to her to heal any of the cuts and bruises the menfolk would sustain during drunken revelries or when out hunting. Having seen what weapons can do to a human body and having felt those very wounds under her hands and seen the trauma inside of her mind as she dipped her senses into a wounded body to heal it she has sworn to herself to never use violence other then in the strictest need for self defense.

Having inherited her fathers good looks she has long flowing jet black hair and the fine features of an angel, wherever she goes men seem to turn their heads to look her over much to her own dismay. As the whole thing with men.. or women.. her people are very open about alternative pairings .. well to her it is not something she is all that interested in and if she can avoid it she plans to just spend her live healing others and any commitment she would make would just feel cheap in comparison to that.

Like all of her kind she loves to sing and dance, and she is blessed with a clear voice that carries easily across campfires as she gladly sings and dances along with her tribe. It is the one time she really can feel relaxed and just be herself otherwise she is normally a bit introvert not wanting to get too close to anyone knowing that her calling to heal the sick and injured must always come first.

I'm not very tech savvy sadly, could you help me get started? Also, is it okay if I just introduce my character and make the character sheet fit around it when I figure out how?

Katra Alexion

I am heeeeeere! And I am very much interested in transplanting my character over here :)

Vergil1989

The character thread is listed with the rest of the threads here in the Interest Thread.  And no worries guys and gals that need help, between myself and Dorian I'm sure we can get you all squared away.  ;D

And Katra, wonderful to see ya here.  :D

Character History
Always something of a trouble maker, the impulsive Diego was always eager to test his skills against anything and everything.  Of course that ended up getting him beaten down on more than one occasion, but he was never brought down by any loss.  If anything each setback was just another challenge to meet.  Roguish by nature, he got by with thievery when he couldn't simply fast-talk his way into getting what he wanted.  His outlaw nature made many women swoon for him, and he was always happy to oblige their desires, though he rarely stuck around long after.

He decided early on that he was going to become one of the Champions sent through the gate to stave off the corruption from the tainted land.  He knew very little of the place, but knew that he was going to one day finally conquer it one way or another.  He worked hard to become one of the best swordsmen in the world and while he probably wasn't the most skilled in the world, he was certainly an extremely masterful fencer.  His limited experience with magic left a sour taste in his mouth, deciding it to be untrustworthy, if unreliable.  Magic users weren't necessarily untrustworthy, but he kept a wary eye on them just the same.  You never know when they might explode, after all.

He traveled around, challenging people to duels when he felt like it, spreading mischief and legs wherever he went.  He gained some measure of reputation which made some wary of him, but he hardly cared.  It was such fun making fools out of them later on, after all!

When he was finally selected as a Champion he was elated.  It was only a matter of time now before he completely dominated the Tainted Realm!
