The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

I'm slowly reading through it all, (school, life, general bothering circumstances, keep getting in the way of such desires.

I am thinking of coming back with a new character, and sidelining most of my current/past ones, I think trying to keep up with a ton of people is the reason I keep burning out on this game....

My dad showed me that. Pretty cool.

Had a pretty good birthday.
I turned 18, so I registered for the draft, got some lottery scratchers and I wanted to order something off of an infomercial, but I didn't get around to it.

Went to Anime Club and we watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Spirited Away.

Oh, also went to Einstein Brothers for breakfast, which is my favorite breakfast place.

Was going through old posts looking for something and found this from a few days ago that I missed. Belated happy brithday, Magic. :)

My recommendation would be to focus on a current character while letting the others stay in the background with occasional appearances as they have NPC status. Salis is already an NPC and can pretty much go indefinitely with only occasional appearances. I would recommend focusing on either Sorun or Dom. If not Sorun, then is he going to leave? That would be sad for Ryleh since her friendship with Shees is the only time she gets screen time outside of being a plot device, but I understand. Dom already has lots of connections to other characters and if you focused on him could easily come back to main character status. I've got the Tami storyline on hold at present because you've been gone, but could move up the timetable on that. Plus there's that whole battle of the bands thing coming up. Dom's band hasn't even auditioned their new drummer yet. Point is, there's lots of stuff to step into quickly with that character. A new character has to be built and then integrated into the story which all takes work.

Of the two that you mentioned, only Sorun is mine. Dom belongs to Salis' player. I had Renkai and Treisdan...

Phew. First day of a ski trip today. Got out to the mountains and got all setup. Ready to go out tomorrow for plenty of skiing pain.....

Try to get some posts up tonight, but might be slow for the rest of the week (as opposed to my usual lightning-fast pace).

Hope you have a good time on your skiing trip. :)


Whelp. Day one of skiing. Against all odds I'm not dead yet despite not having skied in 15 odd years. Even ended up by accident on a black diamond trail, and basically ended up tobogganing down that on my butt.

Sadly, my knees and leg muscles are staging a mutiny. Posts will be a bit.

Sorry! It's been a while since either of you have been active and I got the character lists mixed up. Mea culpa. There are a lot of players to keep track of and each of y'all have multiple characters. Sometimes I lose track...

I understand Lynora, I will try to get back into synch with one of my characters, Probably Treisdan.

Black diamond trails are eeebil. Glad you survived. I recommend a bath with epsom salts if at all possible. Ice packs on those knees if not. :)

If you can't make things work with Treisdan, then we can talk about bringing in somebody new. I know you've had a hard time gaining traction with that character. Aside from learning the real history (including her first name!) of Miss Jones, he hasn't really connected with anyone else yet.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Also, there is no bureaucracy like pharmaceutical company bureaucracy. >.<
It's been that kind of day. I consider it a victory that I am not curled up crying into a pint of Haagen Daz at this point....


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

That reminds me of a character I thought up (not neccecerily for here).

It was before they said stuff like deathwatch requires you to acutslly see your target-

I planned on having a blind teifling with the constant deathwatch racial power.

Lynora, whenever you want non-plot Ryleh Rp, just drop me a PM...

I will get to work on a Treis post soon


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Guh. Huh. Buh.

*technobabble shutdown*

I've gotten 1/3 of the way done with my post. I'll have to post tomorrow, sorry Lyn


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

Sorry Marcell, Treisdan is a bit out of it... I don't want you to feel like I am ditching you as a person, but Treisdan feels terrible, and he knows why... he is just trying to avoid the I told you so of Ms. Jones

Hay, don't worry.

I know you're acting In charecter.

I like that more then I like being interacted with personally.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Pritty sure vis was buried.

Oh, and in the wrong lunchroom anwyay.

I will remove my foot from my mouth soon ryleh.... Don't worry, its not permanent


Thanks, Lyn. ^_^


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Db3, I think it was your character interacting with vis? Should I repost?

Shadow Lodge

Taika?

Yes please.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Using the Race Builder, how much would immunity to Language-Dependent effects cost?


It would be a positive, if you just made them deaf...


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Yea, no. Not this character, she's based entirely on words and speaking.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

It would cost all the things, minus fifty.

Really, I'm not sure it matters.

If you're making it for here, why even bother with Race points?


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Because, that's what Lyn wants. All custom races are supposed to be judged vs the Firebird at 25 RP, or at least were, when last I spoke to her.

At the moment, mine stands at 10, clearly not even close to 25(which I was told was the cap), and I have some other stuff I would like to add, but this immunity is kinda important.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Oh.

Hunh. I mean, tanuki is a custom race, along with tengu, and, well, they're way above 25.

Maybe I'm missing what custom race actually means. I'm known to miss the point often.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

A race created via the Race Builder from Advanced Race Guide.

Perhaps Tanuki and Tengu are races built with more than 25 race points, but Lyn told me awhile ago to keep one I was working on to within the 25 that is the Firebird race. Which is what I've been striving to do.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Ah. Alright then.

Shadow Lodge

I do love my firebirds. :)

Lynora, how did you come up with Ryleh's name?

Just random thought/question

Same way I usually come up with names. Started combining random syllables until I liked the sound of it. Sometimes I use baby name websites if I want a name that means something in particular or sounds a little more normal, but otherwise random syllables every time. :)

Oh... I was just kinda wondering if it was a masterful anagram... R'lyeh is the name of the palace of Cthulu.

Tanuki and Tengu were built to be more equal to the Kitsune that we already had in play and as such had a lot more oversight from me than something from the race builder would. So it's kind of comparing apples and oranges. Still, 25 pts gets you something pretty awesome since that's what we used for both firebirds and lycans.

As for the language thing, holy hell that's a big advantage. That would be worth a lot of points. Probably 6 or 7 based on comparables.

And I'm sure that subconsciously influenced why I put those letters together in that order, but no, it wasn't on purpose.

Shadow Lodge

Maybe. Find all the language dependent effects first.

Dragonborn3 wrote:

True, I suppose it depends on how you classify language dependent effects. I was thinking that it would effect a lot of spells, but I might be thinking of it too broadly.

Shadow Lodge

Well, it will effect a lot of spells, but all of those spells will call out that they are language dependant.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

That would still probably put it at 6RP based on the comparables I think. I would have to see a list of spells that would be effected to say for sure.


I did a quick check, it's mostly spells like Command, Suggestion, Geas, and some other enchantments that require you to communicate.

Compare it to elemental immunities.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Language Dependent spells.

Since spells like Message and Hidden Speech are LD, I would make it only harmful spells. Either way, its a very short list.

Immunity to an element is 4 Race Points, and technically, one does not actually have to automatically have the opposite vulnerability for fire and cold.

Lyn, maybe you thought I meant immunity to spells with a verbal component? THAT would be worth 6+ and also be something I would never ask for. Way too OP.
