It was the year 2138 A.D., and the term DMMO-RPG was not only in existence, but also
becoming more common. Being the acronym for "Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game", it described an interactive game where one was able to play in a virtual world like it was
real life, by connecting a dedicated console to the neuron nanointerface— an
intracerebral nanocomputer network composed from the quintessence of cyber- and
nanotechnology.
It was as though you entered the game for real.
Amidst a myriad of DMMO-RPGs that were developed, there was one title that shined
brilliantly.
Yggdrasil.
It was a game that a highly-regarded Japanese developer released twelve years ago in
the year 2126.
No matter which DMMO-RPG it was compared to, Yggdrasil was a game that offered
an immensely high level of freedom to the players.
The number of classes that formed the basis of the game easily topped 2000 when you
added up the normal and high-rank classes.
All classes had a maximum level of 20, though there was an option to level up in different classes. Meaning a player could have many classes to reach the overall level cap of 100. As gaining XP at higher levels was much harder many players would switch classes around 10th level.
Furthermore, you were able to just have a taste of various classes as long as you
satisfied this overall condition. Although it was inefficient, it was possible to have 100
level one professions if you wanted.
In other words, it was a system where it was impossible to have completely identical
characters unless you intentionally made them so.
This level of freedom also applied to the visuals. If you used creator tools that were
sold separately, you were able to alter appearances of weapons and armor, interior
data, character visuals, and detailed settings of a player's home.
What awaited the players who set off for adventures in such a world was a colossal
map. Nine homeworlds consisting of Asgard, Alfheim, Vanaheim, Nidavellir, Midgard,
Jotunheim, Niflheim, Helheim, and Muspelheim.
A vast world, innumerable classes, and fully customizable visuals.
It had ignited the artisan spirits of the Japanese players and caused a phenomenon
that would later be called 'visual popularity'.
With such explosive popularity behind it, it had reached a level of acclaim where
Yggdrasil and DMMO-RPG were considered as one and the same in Japan.
—Alas, that was a story of a generation past
Looking for a few other players who are fans of Overlord the anime. I am looking to make a game similar to the series!
We will decide what level you would like to start at.
I would love to play as the loyal butler of the group, one of the stronger subordinates of the Masters! XD
What else? Oh I would love it if you were pacific standard time, post at least once a day. A lot more in the next week as you help me build areas you would want in the game!
Isekai game!!!!
To the Max! This is going to be an absurd game of pure fun! It will be completely open sandbox! We will be starting in our own guildhouse/dungeon.
Everyone gets to roll 5d6 keeping the top 4!
No Tax Feats.
2 traits.
Suggested: 5th level characters. Roll for all hit points but 1st level which is max.
Gestalt characters!
Race options depends on what we decide as a guild. Ain's guildmembers all had to be a monster race.
background skills
20,000 gp to spend on your equipment, you cannot spend more than half on one item. You can recover at most 5,000 gp in creating items of your own.
Everyone will need to pick a craft or profession you can develop to the extreme!
For each 3 paragraphs of background you gain additional perks: 1 - extra trait, 2 - extra feat, 3 - extra +2 to an ability score, 4 - gain a mount CR 3 or below, 5 - gain a crafting feat, 6 - gain a wish, 7 - gain a magical ring no more than 8,000 gp (You must write the description, abilities, and background of the ring in your crunch as well), 8 - gain a familiar or animal companion, 9 - gain a super power, 10 - gain another 'Special' from another class, it cannot be a Special above 5th level.
I am fine if you want to conspire with other players to decide what you want to play... ;)
Also I want each player to make at least 4 subordinates! It is not a requirement but should be part of the fun of the game!

Yowza! Nothing to sneeze at here.
No I must dwell on what to play
Pacific Time: √

Cool stats: √
Knowing Source Material: um...
Let me get back to you...
Five episodes in. I like it. Starting as strong 5-level will be a little different from the show, but I think I can see where this is going.
This sounds fun, though I doubt I'll join in due to other things I have going on. Just for clarification, is the party:
* Yggdrasil players playing in the Yggdrasil VRMMO
* Yggdrasil players adventuring in the world after (pulled into it as Momonga was)
* General monsters living in the post-Yggdrasil world
* Nazarick NPCs that become our PCs
Race options depends on what we decide as a guild. Ain's guildmembers all had to be a monster race.
I am fine if you want to conspire with other players to decide what you want to play... ;)
Well, we have one vote for Monster Races from Mightypion. From personal experience with GM Wolf, I know when it comes to monsters, he likes to make them into templates so they can easily be grafted to a character without too much CR disruption. If this is how he wants to do it, I'll choose a half-dragon template.
If we decided on more standard or featured races, I'll likely campaign to use a god-blooded.
As for gestalt character, my current thoughts is to go 'all-out' like our GM and the isekai suggests. To fit in with the action-packed series, I'd choose a Monk of the Four Winds/Godling (mighty) build.
Yes it is Mighty Pion, you post most frequently! Having people with the same time typically helps but that is a wish not a requirement.
Yes 5th level is underpowered in compared to the series. Though you do get gestalt and likely a monstrous race. So with both of those you likely will be CR 10s.
* Yggdrasil players playing in the Yggdrasil VRMMO
- Initially yes!
* Yggdrasil players adventuring in the world after (pulled into it as Momonga was)
-Yes very soon after we have the guild and players set.
* General monsters living in the post-Yggdrasil world
No. If we add anyone after the initial guild members they will likely come from the general monster population.
* Nazarick NPCs that become our PCs
No, we are replacing Nazarick with our own guild. We are restructuring all of the NPCS, of course you could keep on your favorites if you want. You are the guild members from the game before being Isekaied.
I am thinking scaled fist sorcerer!
We do need someone to take on the role of guild master, I can do it if no one else wants to do it.
LOVE this!
Just need to make a new alias ...
Guildmaster is ... the leader of the adventuring team?
DEF a total fan of monster races & template overlays
DEF hate the gestalt thing with an unbridled passion
Would LOVE to see the reward structure include multiple template applications: I have had the idea idea of a Half-Celestial Half-Jann rolling around for about 1000yrs in my head: would be a pretty kick-ass character.
Guildmaster is ... the leader of the adventuring team?
Yes probably. He or she would have been the one who founded the guild in the first place and built it up with the help of the other guild members. Though the title can be switched to another guild member with ease as long as you are in your guild house.
Evindyl, I would be fine with you gaining the second template instead of gestalting! Just an option! XD
Let me make the character then!
That would be cool.
and I think that would be roughly at the power level that is a fun starting point, like an Avoral with a couple levels (10-11th lvl)
Count me on team monster. I'd like to know how you want to work this before I start thinking of ideas. Monster abilities or templates can greatly affect the choices.
We have three or four players interested so far. What race type would you want to do? humanoid, monsters, or beast people/demi humans/a monster touched race like aasimar or tiefling? We should come to an agreement before anything else.
It sounds like most of you are on for team monster. Please let me know either way.
I'm thinking the consensus is Team Monster. In that case, I would like to play either as a half-fiend or half-dragon.

I am actually going to look at the templated build I mentioned AND an Avoral just coming into a new class (Avorals are like CR9 I believe)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I am on Team Full Monster. We saw an undead and an ooze in the show. I'd like to be able to do a monster that is more than a human in a funny suit (like gnolls and bugbears). Not a requirement, but a possibility.
Here's some of the options I've seen in previous monster games, and my opinions of them.
Using CR or HD for actual monsters. Pros: lots and lots of options. You can make pretty much anything within the level we pick. Cons: CR or HD are lousy at balancing as PC's. Some of them have crazy high stats and adding generous rolls to them makes things pretty extreme. Lower level picks excludes some crazy options.
Monster Classes. Pros: really well balanced. Cons: only a handful of monsters are built out this way.
Templates. Pros: moderately well balanced. works well on top of other ideas. Cons: still a bit limited.
Building monsters with the Race builder with high points (25-50). Pros: really well balanced. Cons: limited selection of items. Often you have to build something "inspired by" a monster. Not having monster HD lowers power level.
Oh, and I thought I rolled stats already. Damn purple post-eater.

Oh, and we should know which 3pp material is available. Psionics and spheres change classes a lot. Green ronin's bestiary adds some cool templates, etc.
Domas Dapkus is one of the great-grandsons of one of Lithuanian's famous footballers from the 21st century, Martynas Dapkus. Throughout his life, The Dapkus family focused on physical prowess. The family was also quiet popular, still wealthy from Martynas's time and good investing, and gave to charities often.
When Domas was 4, the small boy was starting to become recognizable more clumsy. Worried, his mother and father brought him to the family doctor. Concerned by what the doctor found, Domas was taken to several specialists over the next 9 months. Ultimately, it was discovered Domas had developed a form of muscular dystrophy called Emery-Dreifuss.
The Dapkus Family was saddened by Domas's illness. It was a learning curve for such an adventurous, active family to have to deal with a handicapped member of the family. Some family members, particularly a few older cousins, would tease poor Domas, when the younger could not participate in family outings like skiing, horseback riding, and swimming.
Initially despondent from the diagnosis, Domas decides instead of physical achievement, Domas dedicates himself to school and learning. According to his doctors, because the Emery-Dreifuss was found early, with regular treatment, the muscular dystrophy need not be as extreme as in other cases. But Domas found he sat mostly in his wheelchair.
Domas continued to get great marks in school, as his other family members excelled in sports programs. Domas took an early interest in mythologies, tales of the Gods and their exploits, great monsters and beasts, which lead into fantasy and heroic fiction. With anime beginning more prevalent at this time, Domas studied hard to understand the 'Demon King' phenomena in many anime shows.
Thanks to the Dapkus family connections with the tech manufacturing sector, Domas was able to get one of the first next-generation personal mech-frames to get around, once they are made available on the market. Domas is able to use it to walk around, but slowly like an old man. Domas doesn't like it, but is more healthy for him in the long run.
Some of Domas's classmate introduced the handicapped student to DMMO-RPGs. Domas's physical therapists also encouraged Domas to give DMMO's a try, with several medical research papers reporting DMMOs could assist in re-energize muscular groups through intracerebral stimulation DMMOs provide.
For as many people spoke up for DMMOs, there were as many detractors. Some family-focused groups says DMMOs could lead to sim addiction in extreme cases. So DMMOs were as popular as they were controversial.
Domas was excited, regardless of the media coverage, and tried a few of them out. Sword Mirror Online wasn't as immersive as the advertisements suggested, and the online community had begun to become toxic. Ebon Forest was more horror-based than fantasy, and sure Domas loved to run in DMMOs, just not from zombies. And Enlightened Magic Carp had some fantasy aspects, but was essentially a fishing sim.
Domas was disappointed by the current DMMO market, until he heard of a new DMMO coming out named Yggdrasil. Domas waited until after Launch to consider joining Yggdrasil. Domas would often watch lots of Yggdrasil reviews, commentaries, play-troughs made by DMMO reviewers and other players. The majority of what Domas found was very positive, just what he was looking for.
Before officially joining Yggdrasil, Domas decides to pay for a DLC for the new godling classes. Domas decided to go 'all-out' and focus on Strength-build mighty godling with the adaptability and speed of a monk.
Domas chose the character name – Domayoku. The name was a mixture of Domas's name and the Japanese word Dōryoku meaning motive power, dynamic force. Domas knew a good name was just as important as the type of character he wanted to be. Domas then spent a few hours in the character designer: getting the look of his character they way he wanted it, using a few methods detailed in several Yggdrasil videos he saw.
When Domas logged in for the first time, he was amazed by the level of immersion and detail. He spent the first hour, like most first-timers: looking around and running. After the initial few hours, Domas began to takes his first quests. Domayoku noticed other newcomers struggling and offered to help them. This quickly endeared other to Domayoku, gaining many Friend Requests.
Domayoku's helpful nature did not go unnoticed on the Yggdrasil Forums. Several guilds sent Domayoku guild invites, eager to get a great team player on their roster. But it was Domayoku's current guild that nabbed the beefy godling monk to their side.
Also I want each player to make at least 4 subordinates! It is not a requirement but should be part of the fun of the game!
One of the first big gifts Domayoku received in-game was Shashanna, an assistant succubus, who help fetch and send mail in-game, though most use them in E-PRG. Since, it's inception in Yggdrasil, this assistant has become quite popular and expensive.
Another Yggdrasil in-game gift was Yiggy, another assistant imp, who helps with scouting ahead and detecting auras. Yiggy is very personable despite his voice actor channeling the most grating voice, itself a great meme.
Drasilla is another PC who helps the Guild Master in running errands for the guild, happy in her role. She's always pleased assist in crafting weaponry and carpentry.
This is what I have written so far for my character. I can easily change what isn't allowed. Thoughts?
LOL @ human in a funny suit ...
Yeahm let's NOT play a team of furries, please.
I do see the Avoral as a good examle of that principle, like reaching for things and his wings knocking stuff over. Great thought.
Spitballing concepts.
Cerebric fungus - probably a shaman or witch type
quickling swashbuckler

I am fine with most 3pp material. Though I have not gotten into Psionics or spheres.
What monster do you each want to play?
We can always down scale it and as you level gain the rest of the abilities as levels.
I was thinking of a sublime tiefling, scaled fist sorcerer.
I did also think that a permanently enlarge Air Zhyen Aeromancer could be fun also, someone who has mastered Alter Self so he can always 'seem' humanoid
I have an idea. My character will take the half-fiend template, but switch out the stronger Special Attacks of a half-fiend, with the Special Abilities of a half-dragon. I really want to lean into the 'Demon King' aspect of this character.

Why not fully apply both, like my half-celestial half-jann up above?
Now that you mentioned it, I want to go look at your idea in HeroLabHalf-Dragon in an awesome template.

I don't want to make something too powerful, that it becomes a point of contention in the campaign. Besides being a gestalt godling character will be powerful enough on it's own.
I am letting each of you make your own decisions. So far I have not seen anything that is obviously overpowered than another.
We have a demon-king build developing from half fiend and half dragon. With a Monk of the Four Winds/Godling (mighty) build. Domayoku looks great!

Cerebric fungus - probably a shaman or witch type

Now it is time to double down and create my new character.

Yes that is fine.
Okay, here's concept one. A lower-power version of each will be one of the minions I propose. Let me know which people prefer and I'll flesh that one out more.
ϪӝѬʓʢϞԬ₺ᴥᵹ₾ is a cerebric fungus, but usually people just call him Bob. the name is a telepathic construct that roughly means "eternal wellspring of vital energy."
Bob uses both spirit magic and psionics to be a pretty kick-ass healer. He can telepathically link party members within 600' and transfer healing from person to person within this group. He can touch enemies with his tendrils and steal their life force to send as healing to people. It's going to be hard to keep us down.
Outside of healing and stealing life, he mostly applies conditions - entangling, dazing, fatiguing etc. He has a little fern, Sprout, that is his familiar.
At the guild, he's the gardener. We can either have grounds outside or a plant-based level in our clubhouse.
Bob's player is Robert Jackson. He is an autistic software engineer who hates his job just as strongly as his talent for this. He wouldn't be able to play the game very much except for great multitasking skills and a number of automated macros that let him split his attention without standing around paralyzed.
Bob is his desire to unplug and connect with the natural world. It's also not a coincidence that Bob's telepathic powers make it much easier to communicate with people.

It sounds like Joe wants the role of Demon Lord. I will be playing the role of butler, though secretly am a guild member. Which only the guild members know. Sounds good?

What kind of guildhouse do we want? A dungeon, a lair, or what?
And here's the other idea.
N'erf d'Artgnan is a winged fey who is physically about 7" high. But if you are going by ego, they haven't invented mathematics capable of measuring this.
N'erf is a highly mobile fighter as well as a skilled face character. Swashbuckler 5 (Mouser)//Unchained Rogue (Shadow Scion) 3; Bard 2. Despite having 0' reach, he rarely has a problem getting in and out of people's reach. While his skills allow him to poke his opponents in their vulnerable spots, he often plays with his foes. He can do any number of tricks, including several combat maneuvers. But one of his best tricks is intimidation. Despite being small, he is surprisingly scary.
Between his racial abilities and his bardic tricks, he has a number of minor benefits he can use. shrinking people, disappearing, talking to animals, helping people slip out of bonds. On top of this, he is as sneaky as you'd expect him to be.
In terms of the guild, he is a bard. Entertaining people, negotiating, and all of the other interactions that you'd expect.
For quite a while, nobody in the group knew much about Sato Ren. He didn't share much personal stuff, often avoiding questions. He had no other social media and one time his voice glitched in a way that proved it was modified by software. He asked people not to pry, as he would have to disappear if word got out, and he loved this escape.
This lasted until the Virtual concert of AYA, one of the more popular virtual idols. A few years ago, AYA had an issue about being doxxed in the real world as Ishida Chiaki, and she had to go into hiding. But AYA was rebuilding her career, and the marketing teams setup a crossover concert where she was appearing simultaneously in three virtual worlds, including Yggdrasil. Each world was offering special boons at the concerts, ensuring both fans and dedicated gamers would show up. Ren had "work stuff" and couldn't make it. He wasn't around much leading up to it.
After the concert, Ren came back, and nobody was talking about it. He asked one of the others about it. "Oh, the ### concert? I enjoyed it, but we decided not to talk about it." The name was covered by the static of the Hidden Secret ritual. Once you took the ritual, you couldn't utter that word in voice or text chat.
At the next level, N'erf started taking levels in bard.

What kind of guildhouse do we want? A dungeon, a lair, or what?
Well ... if Kerwynn were guildmaster and had anything to do with the establishment of said domacile, it would probably be "all of the above"
In my head I see a keep, kind of like Castle Alterian from Age of Ashes
The most important aspect of this hideaway? Access to all four elements, asthetically AND defenseably. Like a keep on a bluff, where the wind and the crags and the sea below take care of 3 elements, and extraordinary braziers up upon the battlements are fueled from a magma flow deep below castle.
Just my thoughts :)
I like them Kerwynn! The group played the game for at least 5 years as a guild so the guild house could have been moved, adjusted, and had many renovations! I like the four elements aspect you propose and the suggestions to meet it!
Pictures we must find pictures and share ideas!
---
Also you can add all sorts of flavor notes to your items but when the transition happens most of them become simple magical weapons. Have fun with what your items might have been and the description of them! No description then it will just revert to a simple magical item.

This is why I'm so torn between the two. Completely different feel, but both have some deep ads and are useful. Though I haven't heard much about healing coming other people, so that might tip the balance.
But I'm open to comments from everybody. How do you see yourself interacting with the alien plant or the feisty fey?

I'm not sure that we want to have grail-shaped beacons telling everybody "Look over here, we got loot." But I like the four elements. Perhaps the fire is a pool of magma underneath. Useful for body disposal, central heating, getting rid of cursed items, dealing with unwanted solicitors and so much more.

So I was looking at a Cave Troll. It has the
+4 Strength, +12 Dexterity, +10 Constitution, -4 Intelligence (minimum 3), -2 Wisdom, -4 Charisma.
Base speed: A cave troll’s base land speed is 60 feet. Its permanent spider climb ability gives it a climb speed of 20 ft.
Darkvision: Cave trolls can see in the dark out to 90 feet.
Low-light vision: Cave trolls can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Scent: Cave trolls can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell.
Racial Hit Dice: A cave troll begins with four levels of humanoid, which provide 4d8 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +3, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +4, Ref +1, and Will +1.
Racial Skills: A cave troll’s humanoid levels give it skill points equal to 4 x (2 + Int modifier, minimum 1).
Racial Feats: A cave troll’s humanoid levels give it two feats.
AC: +5 natural armor bonus.
Natural Weapons: Cave trolls fight with 2 claws (1d4) and a bite (1d6).
Special Attacks: Rend (see left).
Special Qualities: Haste, regeneration 3 (fire or acid), spider climb (see left).
Languages: Cave trolls begin play speaking Giant. Cave trolls with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following languages: Common, Orc.
Or Choral Angel as maybe a paladin/Bard or sorcerer/bard mix.
The last think I Was tossing around was an Awakened dinosaur who would probably be a slayer/barbarian thing.
All three seem viable options Jean!
The Choral Angel would only gain 2 additional levels.
Oooh, the Green Warden template would be good for Bob, but it seems a bit much. Can I drop my Cerebric fungus HD by one to get it?
I need to equip Kerwynn, but I think he is good to go as he is
