I have already discussed this with Meowselsworth and she is in on this extension of her death match.
The story will be happening at the same time as the death match but the characters will have amnesia of anything of the death match which has not happened yet.
For instance:
Leoian Mousekewitz has died in the death match so he can remember what has happened, the same as Brynjård Silenøz if the players decide to let them have that memory yet.
Finwa cannot remember if she died or won the death match as it has not happened as of September 20th (the day I am writing this) in the death match. She can, if I choose, remember what has happened in that game in character for things that have happened before September 20th.
Any questions about the ongoing game?
I do believe active players in Deathmatch should not reveal or imply anything no matter how subtle about the on-going game. But, other than that cool! This will be great.
Ok I have to say that was the perfect setup to bring in Mittens. Kudos to both Bryn and Meows!
Dotting...
Wowsers that's a nice little flurry of posts. Sorry, I couldn't be there - stupid sleep.
;)

Oh and that's fine, feel free to alter change anything that needs be. :hugs:
And very smoothly done.
Tag.
I am debating on whether or not to set up the characters using a gaming system. The one I've been considering is the Basic Role Playing system by Chaosium.
If we do this then I would like to start with characteristics and go from there, hopefully being able to work one on one to get the rest of the characters fleshed out since some may have abilities we don't want revealed as of yet.
Does this sound like a good idea to everyone or should we stick with how we are going now?
I don't have that system. Is there a free on out there we can use (besides Pathfinder if you don't like PF).
The free system is here: Basic Roleplaying Quickstart PDF and is the basics to the system. If anyone has a character who is not human then we can work out what to do with the stats and such together.
uuuugh
Do it again Treppa. That is just sucky luck.
Better. It looks like some adjustment is available, too.
Treppa - I've been going over the full rules and found my paperwork for character creation so we can play with this if you like. I'm still not sure if we will definitely do this (it would still mostly be free form if people like the idea of some base on characters etc) but we can play a bit either way.
Since Charlene is human I did not say anything about the rolls for characteristics that are in the base player's guide, or whatever it's called. I forgot. Anyway, those are the roll sets for humans.
You can take 3 points and rearrange them with what you already have to set up your basic characteristics. For instance you can take a point from your size and put it on your intelligence and another point from strength to con or 2 from size to dexterity, whatever you like as long as it is only 3 points moved.
Next: From your rolls it comes up to 86 added together. Divided by 8 = 10.75 so you have 11 points to use to increase you characteristics.
The costs are:
• Str costs 3 for 1 character points
• Con costs 1 for 1 character points
• Siz costs 3 for 1 character points
• Int costs 1 for 3 character points
• Pow costs 1 for 3 character points
• Dex costs 1 for 1 character points
• App costs 1 for 2 character points
The maximum allowance is 21 points per characteristic.
If there are any questions, agreements, disagreements or discussion upon whether or not we really want to do this then please comment in here. I know that Meows prefers the free form role playing (and has no idea how this would work with Mittens but I have ideas) but I want to know what everyone feels about this.
Do you like the idea of having the characters having character sheets or not?
Dwarf Characteristic Rolls:
Str - 4d6
Con - 1d6+12
Siz - 1d4+4
Int - 2d6+6

Dex - 2d6+10

Everyone:
3 points can be adjusted.

I tried to put in the SIZ chart and it did not work properly so the SIZ CHART is right here.

Bam! Just tell me when to jump in!!
I'm fine with continuing freeform, even in combat, but if folks prefer numerical combat-type situations to avoid Invincible Heroes, that's fine with me too.
I would possibly add some extra points of Int & Pow to the Helmet-cat. But that's mostly cause all the Helmet-cats have been awesome.
And away you go Varga! Your entrance has been set up.
As for the Helmet-cat, oh she gets much special attributes no one else gets.
Finwa, some questions:
When you say move 3 points, does that count using the table? So if I take 1 STR point away, it becomes 3 character points and that's my total move?
I don't understand the 86 points at all and didn't see anything about it in the creation guide. Are those 11 points on top of the rolls?
Sorry to be so stupid.
/me feels so dense.
Are there different characteristics for a mutant human? Or should I just roll human?
Don't feel so bad Treppa. I probably did not explain too well on what exactly to do.
STR: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) = 14
CON: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1) = 11
SIZ: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13
INT: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9
POW: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4) = 12
DEX: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) = 14
APP: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3) = 13
Redistribute up to three points between characteristics. In this case if you take 1 STR point away then STR becomes 13 which you can theoretically put onto INT to make it 10. This is a point by point basis, 1 to 1.
The 86 points and that scale are completely different.
This was somewhere in either the BRP or earlier Chaosium Inc. superhero games. I am not sure exactly where it is from because I had typed it out for a quick guide years ago.
That rule is: You add all of the rolled characteristics, divide it by 8 and use that number for extra characteristic points.
14
11
13
9
12
14
13 = 86 divide by 8 = 10.75 so round up to 11
The table below was for how to spend the points. So if you wanted another point on STR it would cost you 3 of the 11 leaving you with 8.
Please inform me if I was understandable this time. Sorry for confusions.
Just roll human Varga. We can go over his powers a bit later.
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!
Boo...I think those aren't very good if I read the book right.
Our gracious GM gave me a reroll when my first ones were not Scottish.
Yes you can do a reroll and then you can rearrange 3 points around if you like.
Are we done or something? Do I need to post something else to get things going?

Errr.... no sorry, I must of missed your last post. Whoops, I'll get something up today....hang on :blush:
And Mittens carries on being too cute. *squeee*
We must find the ballon and go jaunting around the world.
We need our Belzac and Varga. Yoohoo.
Just so you know, I have given up on the character sheets but will still be using anything that has been given to me for your character as a basic, personal guide.
Hey Pinn ... are you able to play or wanting to at this time? I know that you and Treppa are in a less than stable state for playing much and if you wanted to not play for a bit we could have Varga stay at the campsite with the child until later. I know what it is like when you have limited time to play games.
I didn't as you Treppa as you have been posting.
Oddly I am actually reaching a point in which I will have more time...I will try to be more active and see where it goes. (^_^)b
Woot :)
*Pokes topic* Anyone home?
I'm still here, just feeling a bit sleepy today. I'll get a post up tomorrow (unless I'm tipsy).
We have our moving sale tomorrow, then are packing and selling big stuff Sunday/Monday/Tuesday, then will be moving (driving) Wednesday and possibly Thursday, depending if we make enough during the sale for both gas and a hotel room.
We'll try to check in from time to time, but may not be around until Thursday, particularly with the short library hours on Saturday and Sunday.
