Ah ok. I thought you were taking God of War as inspiration then. ;)


I honestly haven't played anything other than the Demo of God of War...


As much as I've tried to revive this, I'm willing to call it and try it again from the top. Anyone still interested and active here can go sign up there with a similar character, and we won't get hung up on people who aren't active.

Just keep in mind the things I said when the first iteration of this one got out of control.


Is the other one open yet?


Not yet. I am still setting up the basics of it.

@Bobson: Don't suppose you would mind reiterating those points?


I'm still up for this. Have we lost a few people from the looks of it though? :/ Unfortunate if so, but yeah, if we want a reboot or to try to continue this, I'm up for it.

On that note, I guess it's Varin's turn? It looks like there's a few people who haven't posted, so I'm a little unsure, but I'll go ahead and take his turn then.


Go ahead.


The full thing is here, but it's long enough I'm not going to quote it directly.

The relevant bullet points could be summarized as:

  • Give adequate notice before starting or changing the start date.
  • Don't move so fast that one-or-two post a day people don't get left far behind or mess up the initiative order. Unless you specify up-front what the desired posting rate is.
  • Initiative sucks in a PbP, but if you're using it, keep to it, even if it kills the momentum (within reason).
  • Keep the map size reasonable.
  • The arena shouldn't insta-gib, without explicit warnings and/or an attempt to leave the arena.

    There was more, including some things you did that I liked and called out as such, but that's the basics.


  • Nice.

    I will be taking them into account with the next one.


    Well, now I'm definitely looking forward to a reboot ;)


    Yeesh, three saves and hard ones. Talk about harsh. Surely someone from the save or suck suite is gonna steal the show and sweep this skirmish with these shenanigans.

    And I don't why the hell I suddenly had an urge for alliteration there. Must be channeling Spark or something (I'm fairly positive at least Azaelas should recognize that, yes? Don't wanna be jokin' to myself here >_>;; ).


    I am sure I recognize it... Not sure of exact details...


    Eh, just Spark in general. He does it fairly often as I recall, though I can't think of specific instances.

    Or are you just not thinking of the right cat? :P


    Oh Yeah! For some reason I was thinking his name was different...

    EDIT: Speaking of Dominic.

    EDIT2: Awesome Alliteration.

    They weren't all that hard, individually. Since they were spells, I had a +27 to get DC 37. So I made it on a 10 or better. On the other hand, successfully rolling 10 or above (55%) 3 times in a row only has a 16% chance of happening.

    I really should go catch up on Dominic. I last read that comic in May last year...


    Haha, yes, that second one is perfect. And the first one makes me realize I have some catching up to do on that.

    You and me both. I'm at least a couple months back, if not more. Guess I know what I'll be doing in my spare time the next few days...


    I last read on December 31, 2012.

    The one on my birthday, March 18th, this year was awesome. It is sad that it is ending this May, or at least is planned to, but all good things are bound to end.

    Wait... what? Nooooooooo.....

    Edit: Looks like I stopped reading about 15 days before that announcement.


    Yeah... It made me sad...


    So, uh... considering all the absolute mayhem that's been going on in the story as of late, I caught up a whole lot faster than I expected. Pages sure fly by when you don't stop reading like at all.

    So, uh... holy crap @ the stuff going on!

    And yeah, sad that it's gonna be ending in May, but all things considered, looks like it's shaping up to be a worthwhile finale. As you say, all good things and whatnot. Sometimes there is a very right spot to end things, and this looks like one.

    Here are the Character Creation Guidelines

    Ok so this is going to be my first Play-by-Post as a GM.

    It will be a open Tactical Sandbox combat arena. You will be able to rest and fight.

    Anything I missed in the Creation Guidelines?

    Hmmmm. I think I am going to have to get into this....

    You're about two months too late, although Azaelas just mentioned the idea of killing this arena (which has kindof stagnated) and starting over. So keep an eye open.


    Still trying to figure out everything.

    So far I have:

    You gain XP from beating your foe & gain Reputation which will act sort of like bonus GP. Reputation will be usable for things like Consumables & Resurrections in the Middle of a Fight.

    You might get put up against another Player or Challenges that are GM Based. Or even both. So you might have to fight your other players, a Pack of Lions, or Both.
