I think at this point it depends on whether or not RubySlippers has lost interest. It's her thread!

My O/Os. My A/As.
Games I seek:
Savage Worlds of My Little Pony <- Just what it says. Free supplement for SW. (Or any other MLP RP!!! :D)
Eclipse Phase <- Posthuman grit SF, open source, downloadable from their web site. VERY deep worldbuilding.
Cold City <- Espionage meets the Lovecraftian supernatural. Allies in post-war Berlin chasing down the results of secret Nazi experiments
a|state <- Post-apocalyptic sort-of-steampunk, sort-of-high tech roleplay in a massive, decaying, broken-down city-state.

Room for one more? Avid Pathfinder player, so I'll have to learn 3.5, but I'd love an in. Could someone walk me through the major differences (if anyone knows?)

Also, any rules on classes?
I apparently insulted Dicebot's mother, and it still remembers... you've been warned...
Mainly missing on Tuesdays, sorry.

Not exactly I wanted a more by the books game starting at low level and developing some, and not really hard adventuring more being active say in a city and getting involved in various situation some on her back. Starting at higher level with a prestige class isn't of interest to me I want to earn a prestige class.

So variant is okay? No limit on races?

Do we have a comprehensive list of who's playing what? Do it matter?

I was looking for that fun flavor text such as "Tentacle Mistress." Where do I find those?

Also, I'm almost entirely certain that the Archetypes in "Shards or Eros" refer to Pathfinder. Are we actually playing Pathfinder, or are they just so close in engine that they don't matter? (again, pardon my lack of 3.5 knowledge.)

Most of the difference is in what the classes get, available classes, and how skills are set up and points allocated.

There are a couple of sheet builders that will do most of the above-mentioned for free. I think there's an excel mod floating around called Hero Forge that isn't terrible.
Doesn't support any of the adult splat books that I know of, but it will walk you through basic classes, at least.
I used Herolabs' builder, but they want money. ^^;

Personality: Good natured, disciplined, kind. Snarky, humorous and yet still imposing, he usually finds his way working at bars because of this. Gruff enough to scare riffraff, pleasant enough to invite patrons. This is also why he is usually the guy selected to be the physical escort for various clients. Learning from his past, he simply wants to treat all people with respect. He meets disrespect with equal vigor, however. He tries to maintain a level of professionalism, not letting too much fun interfere with the task at hand.

Sexuality: He is very comfortable around various erotic dwellings, but tries to keep his perspective on the erotic arts as a spiritual endeavor. He refrains from self-masturbation the best he can, as he feels it lessens the sexual experience. He doesn't always succeed at either self-imposed edicts, which he accepts reluctantly, as everyone needs a bit of rest and succor. Heterosexual by preference, but a blowjob's a blowjob, right?

Backstory:
Growing up in a desert city under a human father who had a religious crusade against prostitution and debauchery, Buster Hyman was always looked down upon fiercely, but never understood why. Maybe it was the ears... He grew up believing his father's rhetoric, growing a spiteful hand against the unclean harlots that roamed the streets of his town. As he came of age, he studied and trained to become a member of the guard. As his fighting and training finally ended, he was denied access to the ceremony. When he confronted his mentors with this, they sighed heavily and told him to ask his father about the conditions of his birth. The answer was earth-shattering...

"Your mother was an elven whorish witch, slain for her misdeeds. Even a man as strong as I can succumb to such witchcraft…"

Shocked to find his father a false prophet, he finally was able to explain his circumstances. The city always KNEW this! All the aggression was misplaced. This inquisition he had been born to participate in was exterminating innocent people to cover up their own poor decisions and lifestyle.

"I gave you a chance to escape your mother's sins! I gave you th~"

*PUNCH*

Angry and disgusted, at about everything, he grabbed his father's shield and halberd, the symbol of the royal guard. The charlatan didn't deserve to have it. Ditching his armor, he stormed out of the house. His father threatened and cussed and damn him to hell, with deep retribution coming should he ever return. But Buster had no intention on doing so.
~~~~~
Weeks without rest, days without food. He walked and walked. Until sand became sea, until sea became river, until river became forest, he walked. He found his skills as a former soldier to aid in his survival. But he discovered an innate affinity toward nature. He could not explain it, but he was at peace. And yet, he still felt the yearning for a metropolitan atmosphere. He needed a new motivation, a new drive.

One night, he felt a force telling him to go a certain direction. He knew that this part was dark and difficult to navigate, with dangerous creatures and a low chance of survival. But… he was compelled to go. Out of food, out of energy, he walked.

By sunrise, Buster came across a moving waterway. Tired from the hike, he went to a waterway to bathe, maybe catch some food. He waded downstream a small ways, following the sound of playing. Peering over the waterfall, he found a very awakening site: women of various races, shapes and sizes playing together while they bathed. Some splashing, some groping, some… more involved.

Needless to say, he was quite engaged. So much erotic behavior, yet it didn't seem lewd, just natural. So much care and respect, so accepting of ideals and cultures…So…so tired…

That was all his body could handle. Completely exhausted, Buster slipped into the water, getting carried away by the current. Launched over the waterfall he bounced around on some of the earth around him, startling the ladies below, who began to leave the watering hole.

*Fwwwish*….
*Bonk*
….
….
…SPLOOOSH*…
*ggguurgbbulg*
….

Buster Hyman woke up with a splitting headache. Opening his eyes, he was in a completely new environment. Smelled like countryside, looked like paradise. Sitting up, various people with water and medical equipment began to crowd around him, tending to his wounds. He takes in the sites, and asked the question that changed the course of his life. "Where am I?"

An older human with tan skin replied. "A monastery of Blue Lotus House, young man… It's…not a common occurrence that we find and aid someone of your…kind..."

"Yeah, apparently I'm half-elven…"

"I meant someone holding the crest of the Harlot Inquisition… None have travelled here of course, but word travels fast about your exploits on decimating our sisters… Our apologies on our hesitation to aid you. It is a survival technique that we have had to learn."

"My exploits, huh?… Of course, you must protect yourself. I carry no malice, either way. Please tell me, how long have I been out?"

"About 3 days. You ran fevers, blood loss, and have been revived a couple times with our healers."

"Got it… Wait...Your sisters? Are you clergy? We… They do not harm people of faith. I believe you are mistaken."

"You do not harm people who's faith align with your own. My sisters are harlots, prostitutes, escorts, and geishas. All of us have a role, be it to gather information, or purely recreational. But enough about that. For now you need rest."

"…They…"

"Pardon?"

"I am no longer aligned with the inquisition. You mean to so 'they.'"

"Okay then, 'they…' We've all been wondering, why were you out at our bathing ground? It was supposed to be hidden, how did you even find it?"

"I was… I don't know… The world led me to it…"

"…Well, maybe this is where you are supposed to have journeyed. I hope that 'YOU' will allow us the privilege of showing you our ways."

In the weeks of his recovery, he volunteered as a helping hand, performing odd jobs and handiwork. While he was considered a guest, he did not want to impose on their resources without contributing to the community. He came into various people performing various roles and acts of recreation, yet it was treated as if it was a science or an art. This was a disciplined society, spiritual and virtuous. He wanted to know more, he wanted to experience this balance. And experience he did, as he spent weeks training his mind and body to accept and present the pleasures of life's carnal wonders. Learning to accept and cater to various women of sizes and shapes. Some men too, but he wasn't as fond of that…

Buster chose not to stay in the monastery, but to protect those who share this philosophy. He traveled from town to town, employment from brothels, taverns and inns to protect and maintain order. He kept both his martial and carnal training, aiming to become the best of the two world presented to him.

To find a balance between discipline and lust, this was his new goal.

WIP all, but I wanted to get my character idea down, plus my rolls to show I'm interested.

Buster is a hired hand sent pretty much for escorting your party and merchandise. Formally of the royal guard in a nearby town, but fired after he showed compassion towards a prostitute priestess, which was illegal there. So he moved to where it was, and made his day-to-day wage being the guard at taverns, brothels, and lusty temples. He tries to maintain professionalism through his job, but sometimes has to succumb to a few of his lusty desires. So he trained in said temples, trying to temper his mind of unclean distractions, and USUALLY succeeds...

Did a better story, see profile.

A few more logistical questions: Will the whole game be played here? Maps?

Kinda late but…. Level 1 right? Level 3

Starting wealth: Roll or Avg?

Starting HP: Max HD+ConMod @ Lvl 1, rolls+ConMod Lvl 2 and up? Yes

Traits: Yes or No?

Number of Sex Tricks: Based on Skill Mod or Ranks? I read two different factors in two different places. Nope, just read it wrong entirely. Pathfinder to 3.5 conversion. Doh!

Ok so some of my questions are answered here (Thx Autocad)

I am confused on a couple certain points though. And while GUCK is creative and flexible, its horribly written AND formatted… So I will ask them here to clarify or to correct.

1) How much are we going to be using the sex combat system thingy for interactions? I think its a great idea to role-play the rolls. That being said, it is not easy to understand. I understand from "Scenario 2" (pg18-21) how the session works, but "Scenario 1" (pg 16-18) has inconsistent rules. The guide DOES say that Scenario 2 is the revised rules, so is that what I follow? Furthermore, I still can't figure out when the sex session is "over." Can someone break down how it works for me?

2) Subsequently: in Scenario 1, "coitus," "receive phallus," and "foreplay" are listed as acceptable sex tricks. NONE OF THEM have stats. Anywhere.

3)How much of "Shards of Eros" are we using? If I have a say, I'd love to add their list of items and armor. Also a nice set for Prestige and Archtypes/Variants, but if Pathfinder-based more-so that 3.5. On you guys about the spells, I've always sucked with casters…

4) Prestige Classes: Do we also add the Class Skills?

5) GUCK's Preggo rules didn't make any sense… can someone explain that to me too?

6) 3.5 Question: How do I allocate Class Skills? Can someone double-check my points? [(3 IntMod +2) x 4] x 3 Levels = 60SP. 60SP + (6 Max Rank of Sexual Prowess x 2SP per rank) = 72

Thx All. Im not a rules NAZI I promise. I just don't wanna be the dumbfuck who spoils it for everybody. I also can't express how much I've been SEARCHING for a session like this. Apparently D20 isn't popular around here...

Autocad has apparently dropped, he's active elsewhere on E but hasn't been back here at all.

Whoever DOES end up GMing would be the person to answer your questions, so you may need to sit on them for the time being.

tyr4n02r

Yea, but it was Autocad's previous post that had some answers.

Anyway!

Except those questions above, I'm ready! (i think…)

1 more (less relevant) question: What's the opening scenario? There's one at the front page, but is that what we are keeping with?

Any new gamemaster might have different opinions on how they want to run their railroad (or shipping line, knowing this place ;D).

Please another-nice-DM person, come lead us astray! I want to play my stupid dog-boy who might actually become a bard because it works in my head!

Apparently certain persons have been slandering my good name, claiming that I have dropped when I have not returned at all.

Now I'm back, and not before.

When you use the word "slander" you are calling someone a liar.

I do not like being called a liar. Between November 11 and 14th E shows that you posted four times on two forums. They were not 'Still on vacation folks, I'll be away a few more weeks,' posts; they were roleplay.

Not slander, just stating the facts. You were posting elsewhere and not paying attention to outstanding questions here. Given how common it is for people to drop games in PbP forums, it looked as if you'd done so.

Now if you didn't understand the word and didn't mean to call me a liar and you just were too busy to post answers here two weeks ago, I understand that and accept your apology. However, I would like to know: are you going to be around reliably or do you do travel on business a lot? GM inactivity is one of the things which makes games likely to fall apart, and honestly more games fall apart than succeed, so I hope you'll forgive my curiousity.

Hello folks!

Just a quick reminder of Elliquiy's civility rule. Conflicts can happen, just mind the rules, please and thank you!
Game on and have a blast! ;D

This seems like a neat idea.  I am interested though I would probably have to think about what I would like to play.  Hrm...

So here are some character creation rules!

Level: 3
Stats: Roll 4d6 drop lowest six times and assign scores as you like
HP: max at 1st level, then roll at each level thereafter
Gold: 2700 gp
Flaws (from unearthed arcana): optional, up to two flaws

Special rules:
Everyone gets Sexual Prowess as a class skill and max ranks in it for free.
Everyone gets a subclass which is chosen from one of the prestige classes in GUCK, for example Beguilder 3. They don't need to meet the requirements. They get the class features but not the proficiencies or spells per day from the subclass. (It functions like a gestalt except that they don't get HD / skills / BAB / saves from the subclass.)

I am fairly new to elliquiy.  How do you make rolls? 
I might make a wizard.  The spells for GUCK are entertaining.

At the top of your screen, below the chatbox and ads, are a bunch of tabs. You want the one that says "dicebot." You put in your name (or the name of the character you're rolling for), the number of dice, and the number of sides for the dice you're rolling. And then just hit roll!

HopeFox

If you're still keen to run this, I'm still interested! (I may have deleted my earlier expression of interest post.)

I'm thinking of either a barbarian/ravager (though probably a good-aligned one, so more slutty, less rapey), or a cleric/transgender shaman, depending on the needs of the party.
If you're such an iconoclast, where were you when we trashed Constantinople?

Thanks Chulanowa.

Still trying to figure out a name but at least I have some stats now:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

rolls: 4d6k3 Result: 11
rolls: 4d6k3 Result: 14
rolls: 4d6k3 Result: 18
rolls: 4d6k3 Result: 15
rolls: 4d6k3 Result: 12
rolls: 4d6k3 Result: 13

I'm thinking of a wizard who spends too much time entertaining himself with spells but needs to learn that there's more to life.  Has loose ties with his matriarchal family since his younger sister is second inline to becoming future matriarch.  He's trying to become an adventurer but being inexperienced, he's in-over-his-head.  He's only gotten to where he is through study and his family's money.



A backup character would be a distinct artificer cousin.  She would probably run an apothecary.



Considering how unique everybody else is being, I'll be sticking with being a boring human.  Can't be special if everybody's special.  Although... would I be special if I ended up being the only human?  (shrug)  I'll flush out the characters more later.
