Re: Recruiting for another game. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 31/08/2009 06:08:35 AM

I have never played an RPG on a MB before. I am very familiar with 4th ed. so that's not an issue. What kinds of characters are available?


Hah. You're probably more familiar with the system than I am then. While I've read the rulebooks through a number of times, the only occasion where I gathered all my players at one time, we spent hours writing the sheets, since none of them were familiar with the system, then the wizard figured there'd only be traps inside the crumbling old ruins and foolishly marched forward.

He survived longer than a 2nd or 3rd edition wizard would have, but he was still eaten by the rats. The game ended before anyone even entered the dungeon. Embarrassing all-around :D.

Anyway, the more backstory you provide for your characters, the more I have to work with in scribbling down the mechanics. As I've written above, the core rulebooks don't really have any of the WoT-designed classes, so unless everybody was playing a Fighter, Ranger, Rogue or Warlord, I'd have to design classes anyway. Just as well make everyone unique.

Don't bother with classes, concentrate on concept instead.

I second that question. Kronin al'Sulc - 31/08/2009 04:33:07 AM 510 Views
For characters... Fanatic-Templar - 31/08/2009 05:06:23 AM 538 Views
Okay, I can work with that. Darth_Katie - 31/08/2009 05:10:21 AM 600 Views
That sounds like a really interesting idea.... Kronin al'Sulc - 31/08/2009 05:20:44 AM 552 Views
However, I would like a firm outline.... Kronin al'Sulc - 31/08/2009 05:23:42 AM 499 Views
Since I'd be designing all/most of them from scratch... Fanatic-Templar - 31/08/2009 06:02:29 AM 547 Views
So we just pick more or less whatever we want? Kronin al'Sulc - 31/08/2009 06:17:53 AM 505 Views
Can we at least get a theme first? Kronin al'Sulc - 31/08/2009 02:34:26 PM 487 Views
Yes, we're looking into that. Fanatic-Templar - 31/08/2009 09:46:24 PM 532 Views
Darkfriends hunting the Dragon has been proposed by me. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 31/08/2009 10:08:13 PM 252 Views
Now THAT'S an interesting idea. Darth_Katie - 31/08/2009 05:35:04 AM 491 Views
I thought so... Kronin al'Sulc - 31/08/2009 05:40:33 AM 560 Views
