World of Remnant: Beacon Academy

Game Master Aloha-Shirt-Samurai

Merged thread for both Aloha and Rungok's RWBY campaigns.


1 to 50 of 171 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | next > last >>

Opening up the discussion thread so people can dot in and start making aliases. Our current character list:

1. Beoh
2. Azure
3. Carmine
4. Shamrock Duille
5. Tana Kazakh
6. Tora Blaine
7. Sorzar Dhabab
8. Sinn Lazu or Onyxia Irises

I'll be opening up the actual RP thread sometime before Monday when I'll be going on a trip. I'll update when I can while travelling (which may not be too much). Once I get back on the 22nd I'll be working to get the campaign underway.

For people who haven't been keeping up with all the discussion in the discussion thread, I'm going to run the first game, at the end of which you'll be sorted into two teams. I'll be GMing one team, Rungok will be GMing the other, and we may occasionally merge back to one thread when appropriate. :)

Hello!

This is Carmine's profile. Feel free to copy my method of displaying stats and such, unless you have a better method, then I may borrow from you!

I could not find an appropriate avatar so I took the one that made me giggle. I'll get everything all official soonish :D

EDIT: Or it didn't save at all. Oh well, I shall be faceless and spooky then!

@Rungok: Take a look at Tana's profile at some point since I swapped out her edges. :)


Here's the GM profile for the merged thread, by the way. :)

I love using those ooc brackets to make it more readable, that's a really good idea. If you guys can get your derived stats in the bar, that's what's most important to me when I'm GMing. I don't usually roll for my players (although with 8 PCs sharing a thread, I might do opposed rolls for you to speed up combat until we split the thread).

I'll probably get the open RP thread up today as well. :) I'll get you on your first mission either when or a day after I get back from my trip on the 22nd.


Wounds: 0 Fatigue: 0 Parry: 6 (7) Toughness: 5 (1) Charisma: +2 (+0) Aura: 10/10 Notice: d6 Fighting: d8 Throwing: d8 Stealth: d4 Bennies: 3

Sweetness! I am super excited!

I do have a question though, what are we going to be doing in regards to bennies? I've never done a play by post for Savage Worlds, so I have no idea what constitutes a new session and what have you.

Also....uuggghhhh the GM is going to have so many bennies...


Wounds: 0 Fatigue: 0 Parry: 6 (7) Toughness: 5 (1) Charisma: +2 (+0) Aura: 10/10 Notice: d6 Fighting: d8 Throwing: d8 Stealth: d4 Bennies: 3

Huzzah! The gameplay posts are oppppppeeeeennnn :D


HAHAHAHAHA I didn't even think about my 8 benny starting draw :D

Mark down the appropriate number of bennies for now. I tend to plan things out as story beats or games--it takes a lot longer in a PBP, but the amount of actual gameplay is approximately the same. Once we reach the end of the planned game (or an equivalent amount of gameplay in case of Things (tm) the GM didn't plan for) I'll let you know to refresh.

Also, feel free to beg the GM for a benny when you play to your hindrances. I try to remember, but with this many people I may forget.


Oh, and do you guys prefer present tense or past tense? We should probably figure that one out before we get too far underway :)


Wounds: 0 Fatigue: 0 Parry: 6 (7) Toughness: 5 (1) Charisma: +2 (+0) Aura: 10/10 Notice: d6 Fighting: d8 Throwing: d8 Stealth: d4 Bennies: 3

I tend to write things past tense but I could switch over to open. I think I switch sometimes though, depending the scene.


I tend to go with the flow, so if others are using present tense, so will I.


Inactive

I prefer present tense. It just feels more natural. And simpler, to be honest.


Female Human Huntress/Novice; Parry=7; Toughness=8(2); Fighting=d10; Shooting=d10, Notice=d6; 15 PP

I also prefer present tense. I was in a game where someone decided to use past tense, and it was a real pain (harder to write, and everyone kept falling back into present tense every once in a while)...


Male Outsider (native) Gamer 15 / DM 7 / Author 4

I'm notorious for mixing the two tenses up. It's like I'm a timelord or something. :P

I'll just go with the flow. Also, the changes look fine.


Sorry as I said earlier this is my first PBP if I do anything wrong or do something taboo let me know. such as editing like i had to to compensate for aloha narrating while i was posting a reply. Can i do a reply actually to a post for conversations. i tried to leave a gap for dialog before my exit line so figured conversation would go there and i hit reply. but that conversation splintered so not even sure how to put replies in and where.


No worries :) It's just confusing with so many players. I also probably crammed a bit too much into the first post but I wanted to get the intro with the teachers done early


So we have ABCOTTSS

going to be fun making team names high five azure for bringing another vowel.

SCOT? BATS? BTTS? OSCA?

Ooh! TOST!

-Posted with Wayfinder


Vowels are not necessary for naming teams.


Inactive

I like SCOT and BATS. Sounds fun. Not sure though if they associate with color.


any recommendations to prevent misinterpretations? seems both people i actually typed out a small portion of the dialogue for both thought my char cut them off and left rudely. the brief dialogue was supposed to leave room for them to talk and have some back and forth then left the exit line for after a few minutes to insure she could go say hi to the next person. (I seem to skip a few pages but usually we are on same chapter causing confusion may just have to have warforged preview a few posts to get me on the same track.) shame you can't just IM and post the IM conversation to forum as a roleplay dialog.


Inactive

Oh, sorry for that. But I didn't think it was rude. Rather, she is excited and can't concentrate on one person long enough, you know? "Gotta say something here, there, oh, there's something interesting there too."


yah was meant to be a quick meet and greet welcome to vale? where you from? where did you go to school?" the word vomit was my long intro with no pauses was the dive right in to meeting new people. slow down half a min get some replies then go off. i just need to keep in mind not to put an ending to a conversation ahead of time. these are post so i can elaborate ooc and through narrative a lot more.


Schythe, I think you'll be okay. We're still in the new part of the pbp, where there is usually a flurry of everyone talking a bit about who they are and reacting to other people. Things will slow down a bit in a week or so as the story picks up.

Yeah you're fine. Usually I see people don't post what happens after the other person replies to your part of the conversation until AFTER they actually reply to your part of the conversation. I think that's where the confusion came from.


Wounds 2 Fatigue 0 Power Points 10/10 Charisma 0 Pace 6 Parry 6 Toughness 8 (2) Agility d8 Smarts d4 Spirit d6 Strength d8 Vigor d6 Fighting d10, Intimidation d6, Notice d4, Repair d4, Shooting d8, Stealth d6, Throwing d4

I guess with a PBP part of the experience is embracing that it moves a lot slower. Which can be frustrating when you're inspired and want to have your RP right now, but it's really nice for long narratives and doing more complicated stuff.

I think I just got confused because you had the greeting and then the goodbye in the same post and that made it harder for me to understand what you were getting at. My bad.

No worries though, this is all part of the learning curve. :)

Don't worry. I know where he lives. If he keeps messing up I'll go over there and scold him in person. :P

(Just kidding. He tends to be pretty fast on the uptake with these things. I don't expect him to be much trouble. He can also ask me any question he needs before he posts too.)

I'm sure there will be much discussion about the new episode, so can I ask that we not talk about it until everyone's had a chance to watch?

Watched it! Loved it!


That animation quality *-*

Y'all can talk about it if you want, just use spoiler tags and mark it.

Episode 1 spoilers:
yang my waifu where u at

Is it just me or are there a bunch of cues from Avatar this season? Maybe it's just a coincidence between Cinder and the Asian-influenced village they were in, but... Man, I can picture almost all the new characters in Avatar very easily. Lookin at u, creepylaugh mcgee

UNIQUE BODY TYPES FOR DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, FINALLY

Oh no Jaune's sword, my feelings ;-;

By the way I'm back. Are you ready to rock?!


Welcome back now back to our regularly scheduled shenanigans.

i am totally not stalking the forum waiting for your return... just happend to find it within a minute... on a completely unrelated note how do you set up notifications so you automaticly know when some one posts something.

Does Blake have a sister?


Male Outsider (native) Gamer 15 / DM 7 / Author 4

There isn't a way to do it. There used to be an android app called wayfinder that worked really well, but the app developer stopped supporting it. I have the last working version of the app. :/


You can use an RSS feed reader to keep tabs on individual threads. I believe you can get an RSS reader app and set it to send you notifications on updates as well.

I just refresh my dotted threads like a madman whenever I'm in my browser. :')

When do episodes become available without membership? In a day or so?

I think so. I had to cheat and go to a sketchy anime site for my fix.

Episode 1:
Is it just me, or they made it a little too bright? The white is just too white.

Also, hate the crazy laugh guy. Never liked that type.

Like Jaune's new armor and weapon. Although one immediate problem - why he puts the armor on his left arm with the shield and not on his right arm with the sword? Where's logic in that? I do understand that they can catch rocks with their faces, but still.

You're not supposed to like the guy with the crazy laugh.

With the white, was pretty okay with it. Considering we went from near everyone being almost albino and me not being able to there face so bright.
