Five Moons RPG pre-alpha encounters


Recruitment


I am looking for 4-6 players interested in playing the pre-alpha for the five moons RPG. People must be willing to post several times a day and provide useful feedback. Specific feedback the developer is looking for is on page two of the document.

The focus of this will be on testing the available elements of the system in combat, so once one combat is done things will get reset, people have some time to provide feedback and then another combat unconnected to the first would be set up.

As new playtest documents are made available, I would be looking to transition to them. Once there is a relatively stable document, I will gauge interest in moving into an actual campaign.

I am interested, but I will have to see if I get into a couple of games first. Good luck though.

Pick a class and race then.

Ideally we have at least one member of each class, and if we have more than one player for a class than different races for those two characters.

This sounds FANTASTIC!

I'm sticking my flag in an Human Wizard right now! (Figuratively. Not literally. =)

I'll get going on the rest of the crunch. Should be ready w/in 24 hrs.

P.S. You want feedback, yeah? Okay, here's your first one: In your link, you have "Choose Skills" listed as #5, when it actually should be #4.

2nd one: Words to use instead of "Cronk": Coup, Effort, Honor, Deed, Glory, Fame, Distinction, Smack (I like this one myself. "W00t! I leveled! Now I can choose a new Smack!"), or Bang (this one might win just on comedy potential alone).

3) *chuckle* Go ahead and talk to us about Armor. We're all smart people here. =-) (I've played Shadowrun. -1ST- edition. That thing had some weird armor.)

So Resolve is like mental HP, like Sanity? Your Glossary could expound on this new and strange concept. New words make me feel cold and frightened. =)


I think that if I join, I would play a Dwarf Rogue, Ninja. A tinkerer if there is much roleplay.

The Exchange

I think I'll roll an elf warrior, just so we have each of the races and classes covered to start (assuming that Nohwear makes a dwarf rogue).

Nice

Once we have 3 characters we will get started. If more people express interest they can be added at the start of the next encounter.

Also for the purposes of boosts or other daily use abilities, assume 3 fights in one day.

Question: I'm sorry if this is obvious, but I'm not catching it: What do all the 'boosts' mean? For instance, under Frost Bolt it has a number of boosts, like, Automatically hit, or ice fuses target to the ground.
How do those come into play? Is that based off a dice roll, or...?

The Exchange

Boosts are things you can use to modify your spells, feats, and so forth. You get 5 boosts you can spend in a day, though if you take a 1 hour rest you can get one back (only once a day, presumably). You can only spend 1 boost per round.

So for example, when you cast Minor Healing, you can cast it boosted to have it heal six creatures at once. Unless otherwise stated in the boost ability, boosts do not change the type of action (standard, move, etc.) used.


we will run with the people we have starting the day after new years.


Before I make my char, do i need to be melee, ranged, or switch hitting?

Go with whatever you want.

The Exchange

My fighter is all melee if that helps. She's primarily a dex fighter though, so she could pick up a bow no problem, it just didn't fit the concept when I was building her.


gameplay and discussion threads are up.


There are still plenty of places for any who are interested.


I am interested but I want a commitment from the GM that they will be posting at lease once very 2 days.
GM how often will you be posting?


I normally post at least once a day.
