Rising Legends [LEGEND]

[ShadowFox89]

 So, I'd like to try out the Legend system. I would prefer to find a DM for it, but if that's not possible, I'll run it myself.

Here's the site to find the Legend System: ruleofcool.com



If I do end up running, this'll be the character creation rules:

4th level
3-5 players
16, 14, 14, 12, 10, 10 ability scores
Max Hitpoints for all levels

Homebrew content will be a case by case basis. I suggest making combat oriented characters, as the first adventure at least will have plenty of fighting.

[Kimera]

Sounds interesting, count me in :3

[ShadowFox89]

 That's one possible. If we don't find anyone to run it, I'll do so myself.

Don't expect a lot of sex in the first "episode", it's going to be mostly action.

[Muse]

I'm reviewing the system. 

[ShadowFox89]

 If you have either questions let me know either on here or on AIM. I've never played the system myself, but I've read over the rules.


edit: To clarify, the setting for the game will be Modern with magic being real.

[Muse]

By modern do you mean modern earth with magic?  Or a modern tech level world? 

[ShadowFox89]

 Modern earth with magic.

[TheHangedOne]

I might be interested in playing; have to look over the rules and such. Is it going to be more story based combat, or more like hack'n'slash/run'n'gun?

[ShadowFox89]

 The first "episode" is going to be John Woo style run 'n gun. After that, it's whatever the group decides.

Oh, and for location, you'll be in Osaka Japan running an Okonomiyaki shop (google it). Everyone should have known each other for a while. One key detail you'll need to figure out, is the Mystery Box. What is in the Mystery Box? It's locked away deep in the basement of the shop with binding prayer strips to keep it from being moved or opened.

[Kimera]

So all characters will be running this little restaurant together?

[ShadowFox89]

 Yup.

And use these firearms instead of the ones presented in the base Legend book

Bolt-action Rifle – Two-handed Main weapon, range [Extreme], [Repeater 5], move action to reload, 2d6+KOM base damage.
Revolver – One-handed Special weapon, range [Close], [Magnum], [Repeater 7], move action to reload, 1d8+KOM base damage.
Semi-Automatic Rifle – Two-handed Main weapon, range [Long], [Repeater 20], move or swift action to reload, 2d6+KOM base damage.
Semi-Automatic Pistol – One-handed Hold-out weapon, range [Close], [Repeater 15], move or swift action to reload, 1d6+KOM base damage.
Shotgun – Two-handed Main weapon, range [Medium], [Repeater 6], move action to reload, 2d4+KOM base damage, +1d4 within [Close] range.

[TheGlyphstone]

We're playing Osaka Street Stories then, but with handmade characters instead of the pregens?

Count me in. For All The Spots. ALL THE SPOTS!

Or one, I guess.

[ShadowFox89]

 We are, but I ask that players please do not look at the pdf for it......

[TheGlyphstone]

Luckily I remember nothing of it anyways.

Gonna make a Dwarven rifleman - worst marksman in the world when he's sober, best in the world when he's sloshed.

[TheHangedOne]

Would playing as a monk throw things off, if I don't want to be a gunslinger?

[ShadowFox89]

 You can play a monk, rogue, ranger, barbarian, paladin, tactician, shaman, sage, vigilante/sentai, necromancer, lich.... Need I go on?

If you would prefer not going through the process of character creation, I can post the pre-gen characters.

[TheGlyphstone]

Or mix and match the above.

[Kimera]

I think I will try making a character myself before resorting to pre-gens

[ShadowFox89]

If anyone needs help, I can help them here or on AIM.

[ShadowFox89]

 Adding a houserule that, if you character has a non-human base form (dragon, demon, sentient construct, giant, etc), you can change shape once per round as a [free] action. This shape change has no effect on any of your stats or effects towards you, it is purely cosmetic.

Gunbeard Beardgun, dwarven sniper extraordinaire.

I also have a Scottish Dialect Converter and a Drunk Post converter at the ready.

[ShadowFox89]

 Everyone, look at Glyphstone's sheet. That's a good example of a sheet. If you need to know how to put that template up, bug Glyphstone. I've got no clue.

[TheGlyphstone]

1) Download the Character Sheet PDF from the Legend website.
2) Upload the Character Sheet to the E Wiki.
3) Fill out the Character Sheet.
4) ???
5) Profit.

[TheHangedOne]

It's not that I need help with coming up with the sheet, the system is easy enough for me to understand (not my first rodeo). I just wanted to know if a melee specialist would throw a gear in the cogs, since you said it was run'n'gun.

[ShadowFox89]

 A melee specialist would work just as well, there will be a lot of close combat as well as ranged.

[TheHangedOne]

Okay, actually, I do have a question now, on tracks. Can I substitute one of the three monk tracks (Discipline of the Serpent, Discipline of the Crane, Discipline of the Dragon) for one of the misc. tracks Vigilante?

[ShadowFox89]

 Yes, you can, which would count as multiclassing. You would take the progression of whichever track you sub'd as the progression for Vigilante.

[TheHangedOne]

Awesome, thank you.

[ShadowFox89]

 Henshin a go go baby.

So far we've got a dwarf ranger, a monk/vigilante, and Kimera is making a demon. I'm not sure what Muse is making.

Should we wait for 1 more or should I go ahead and make the OOC?

Don't worry, when making Okonomiyaki, he makes it just normal, how the customer wants. No giant bug heads or anything of the sort.  :P

Character Image (Vigilante Armor)

Because kick-ass armor is a pre-requisite to being a bad ass super hero.

battle music

Redeemer - Irwin on Reflection (Legend of Mana) - Locus

Because why not? Little extras everywhere.

[ShadowFox89]

 Yep, looks good.

Anyone mind if I bring in a Dragon DMPC?

[TheHangedOne]

Doesn't bother me any.

[TheGlyphstone]

Only if we're undermanned for the adventure. OSS should function fairly well without an exposition fairy, so the only reason for us to have a DMC along is to make up for a lack of PCs.

[ShadowFox89]

 DMC would be there for me to get in on the roleplaying too.

[TheGlyphstone]

Yeah....I don't see how that's going to work out very well. You're already running all the NPCs, you know the entire plot - particularly in a mystery game like this, having someone on both sides of the screen is a recipe for disaster.

I just have an extreme aversion to DMPCs who travel with the party and act like a PC in all respects - I have never, ever seen it end well in the entire time I've been playing system games, and heard a vast number of stories where it ended extremely poorly. You're far, far better off just settling for DMing this time and PCing another time, rather than risking your game by trying to do both. You may think you can pull it off, but the odds are against you and it can torpedo a game faster than anything short of a DM's significant other.

[ShadowFox89]

 I know, I generally stay away from DMPCs myself, which is why I asked.

Edit: and the character wouldn't be travelling with you guys. I know that something like that can cause massive problems.

[TheHangedOne]

Mm, when he puts it that way, I'll go with "what he said"; meaning, I agree with TheGlyphstone completely on the matter.

Also, as an aside, I edited my previous post with the character sheet to include pictures of my character, and what his vigilante armor looks like.

[ShadowFox89]

 I'll save the dragon for some point in the future when I can convince someone to run a game.

[TheGlyphstone]

Yeah, that really is for the better.

[Muse]

*Shakes his head* 

From my perspective Glyphstone's seriously overreacting.  *shrugs*

If you'd seen half the horror stories I have about GMPCs from people who wanted to play and GM at the same time, you wouldn't question it.

[ShadowFox89]

 Well, if we don't get anymore people, I'll be making an OOC and an IC shortly after that.

Where would people like me to put this game? NC-Exotic?

[TheGlyphstone]

NC-Human or NC-Exotic, I guess.

[TheHangedOne]

NC-exotic might be a good idea, that way it allows for more things to come up within the story.

[Muse]

NC Exotic Please. 

*Gets his kick ass Miko ready*

OOC is up

[Muse]

*peeks*  Glyphstone, Kimera, you guys still interested?  Anyone else? 

[ShadowFox89]

 Kimera is working on his sheet, but E was down for much of the day.

[TheGlyphstone]

Whoops, I didnt see we had an OOC thread.

[ShadowFox89]

 I posted it up a while ago >.<'

Could you bring your character sheet over and fill out the template, please?
