Author Topic: Naruto D20: Interest Check (GM Found) (Read 7503 times)

ShadowFox89 · « **on:** December 19, 2011, 07:27:38 PM »

I'm interested in playing in a Naruto D20 game, preferably starting at mid (8-10) level with the option of starting off towards the Sage PrC.

I also have a few other requests for any potential GMs:

- The players use the True Ninja alternate character rules
- The setting be something generic and open, rather than the canon setting
- Options of other races besides human be available, such as Moreau from D20 Modern.

When we get a GM, I will update this post.

edit: Here are the character creation rules from Interrant_Lust

I'm in for whatever.

Karasu · « **Reply #2 on:** December 19, 2011, 09:24:46 PM »

count me in ^^ I have a character I can use here if you'd allow it.

ShadowFox89 · « **Reply #3 on:** December 19, 2011, 10:36:39 PM »

We have three people looking to play, maybe we can get a GM soon too!

What characters are you two interested in? I was thinking either a Livewire or Shinobi Swordsman. I figure we can hammer out our characters while waiting for someone to run this.

Karasu · « **Reply #4 on:** December 20, 2011, 06:09:01 AM »

my girl's a missing nin. Kunoichi

rachelongaku · « **Reply #5 on:** December 20, 2011, 01:49:11 PM »

I typically play a Hyuga Med-Nin....

I've never used D20 or anything like that. But I'm willing to learn, as long as everyone's okay with being patient with me.

Kaisude · « **Reply #6 on:** December 20, 2011, 10:19:39 PM »

I'd be interested and willing to learn the system as well. I tried to learn it once, but gave up on it because I got super busy. Though I have quite enough free time now, so I'm all ears.

I was thinking an Uchiha but those are pretty much extinct. So a Nara or an Hyuga

ShadowFox89 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 20, 2011, 10:30:41 PM »

Like I said, I would prefer a generic setting. So it could be likely that any sharingan users could be alive.

I don't think I would have any bloodline for my character. Depending on which one I go with, it wouldn't fit too well.

As far as the system, I've been playing ND20 for years and have run several games of my own. I know the system pretty well and would be glad to help someone set up a character.

Posting my interest in this game!

Karasu · « **Reply #9 on:** December 21, 2011, 11:16:17 PM »

I'd defiantly love the help!

Inerrant Lust · « **Reply #10 on:** December 24, 2011, 02:12:32 AM »

I know the system pretty well, and I've been trying to start a group of players in E... if you still need a GM.

Already running one game. I'd be more than willing to whip up a campaign for anyone interested.

I know it isn't exactly 'generic'.... but what does everyone think of a campaign set in the ancient era that hasn't really been elaborated on? IE: No villages, but rather groups of mercenary-like Clans wandering around, taking jobs and making/breaking alliances at the drop of a hat. But if we're maintaining consistency here, all the players would probably have to either be from the same Clan (IE: Uchiha, Hyuuga, Senju, Ect.) OR... more interestingly (

), be a group of renegades from various origins.

Aside from that, there's a much more recognizable time frame such as a few years before the series. Does anyone have a preference for the particular village or rather something like the above; a band of missing-nin or otherwise unaffiliated ninja...

ShadowFox89 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 24, 2011, 02:18:59 AM »

I like the ancient era idea.... not sure if you are on the ND20 forums, but I have a homebrew village that would work for my character.

I was actually thinking about stepping up if no one else did :p I've got a large number of game ideas that usually don't go far.

Marie Reynolds · « **Reply #12 on:** December 24, 2011, 08:33:17 AM »

I like the Ancient Era Idea.

ShadowFox89 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 24, 2011, 10:29:58 PM »

Going off of the idea of setting the game in Ancient Era, I think the easiest thing would be to have everyone be from different clans as renegade ninja. I know I don't plan on either character of mine to have a bloodline or be associated with a clan (unless I can use my homebrew one, the Fuuryuu and the Konpeki Shitai bloodline).

Two character ideas are currently a female livewire or male swordsman-going-sage. Either one could work, and I have homebrew jutsu ideas for both.

rachelongaku · « **Reply #14 on:** December 25, 2011, 01:41:38 PM »

Yay. I like the ancient era idea. And the seperate clans idea.

True Ninja rules have never been quite my cup of tea, but as per request- chargen rules;

Thar' be the mechanics, fluff will follow.

What sort of clan or organization is this anyways? I'll leave it up to you, although I think for this setting- some groups might not be 'clans' per se, but would function as such... like the Seven Swordsmen were a group of mercenaries before joining the Mist, and probably exist in some form or another during this era.

ShadowFox89 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 26, 2011, 03:14:50 PM »

Got rolls of 11 for masteries and 14 for starting techniques.

Setup, I think, will look like this if I go Livewire: Fast Hero3/LiveWire3/Ninja Scout3/Sage 1

If I go with a swordsman (thinking shinmei ryu here); Strong Hero3/Samurai3/Sword Savant 4

rachelongaku · « **Reply #17 on:** December 26, 2011, 05:49:15 PM »

Hm, it all looks like gibberish to me. *Goes to internet to try to figure out exactly what everything means*

Inerrant Lust · « **Reply #18 on:** December 27, 2011, 01:31:34 AM »

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Marie Reynolds · « **Reply #19 on:** December 27, 2011, 01:54:26 AM »

So some of the things the true ninja adds says it adds .5 but you have point ones listed so what are we supposed to go with?

Inerrant Lust · « **Reply #20 on:** December 27, 2011, 02:01:52 AM »

I took out all of the round-down ones.

Oooh, wait... I made one mistake; +0.5 hit points per level (rounded down)

So that'd be +5 unless you have a bloodline or somesuch.

ShadowFox89 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 27, 2011, 02:10:39 AM »

If you have questions building a character, ask Interrant or myself. We've both been playing this for a while.

I think my character choice is going to come down to, who works better in the group.

Edit: are we doing wealth dc or converting to ryu?

Inerrant Lust · « **Reply #22 on:** December 27, 2011, 02:33:17 AM »

Which do you prefer?

I just realized... the overwhelming majority of my Naruto characters are female not just because of the possibility for fanservice and sexiness.... but also because the original Naruto took nearly 100 chapters for a kunoichi to fight a man and actually end up not sucking.

And since then women being badass has been few and far between...

ShadowFox89 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 27, 2011, 02:44:31 AM »

Well, there was the original idea for my Livewire... but information about her is something to be kept secret

I have several character ideas, really, all of them equally fun. I could drop a level of sword savant from the second setup and go with my homebrew bloodline, Konpecki Shitai.

Edit: and the general consensus seems to be that Kishimoto and Kubo Tite don't like strong women.

Karasu · « **Reply #24 on:** December 27, 2011, 12:15:16 PM »

mm what to play..
