Still approve.

So ever since I started playing my swordmage (which by the way is now my favorite class) I keep picturing him, the battles and his powers. But here's the bad part some how it reminds me HIGHLY of this.
Heh, perhaps it's just my train of thought, and the fact that I really like anime. Who knows.
Ha. So what with Fairwind living in an episode of "Firefly", Commander Caine forming a choir and Brujo galloping around as an anime hero, I think what we have here is Fusion Faerun.
Liking muchly.

Can't access youtube right now. What anime is Lazaro watching?
Tales of the Abyss, here's the link to the episode on my myspace page(if interested).
|
Latest Episodes: 190 for Bleach and Episode 78-79 for Naruto Shippuden.
Lazaro, have you seen this site?
|
|
All my Naruto and Bleach come from Dattebayo ^_^
My others like D.Gray-Man(which saddly ended), Tales of the Abyss and many others come from Yuurisansubs or Shinsen-Subs.
The new Bleach opening is awesome too!

Why am I not surprised? He he he
Now if we can just translate the anime into rpg. I think 4th ed with its concept of powers is more adaptable to it.
BTW, enjoy!
I agree 4e would/could make an anime like campaign...hmm...That or use the Anima RPG. But I don't have $50+ to shell out for that. Even though what I've read and seen of it makes really want it.
The game from what little I've read, my friend/store owner has a copy, it's a d100 system. You have 8 stats instead of 6. An ability with a score of 3 or more is super human. with a Str of 10 you can literally move a small mountain (at 15 you should be able to lift 15,000 tons with no problem.

I think I need to start an anime thread, instaed of using Rev's thread. But if get a chance to check out the new Fist of the Star: Roah Gaiden(It's sweet)
Just a quick question to you all. Are you finding things OK here in terms of game pace and mechanics and so forth? I'm having a blast personally, but it is your game after all. You need to be enjoying it too.
Also - anyone seen Otto lately? He posted nearly 3 weeks ago that he was having trouble and I haven't seen him since.
I'm having fun.
I'm going to give Otto to the end of the week and then Chryz is going to find something urgent to research in the monastery. If/when he returns, he can catch up with you easily enough. While I'm fine with running pcs in the short term, I'm not happy with doing it for an extended period.
As a party, you would need to take account of being down a striker, but you are very balanced as things stand. If this happens, the lineup will be as follows:
Brujo - swordmage (defender with striker type abilities)
Caine - warlord (leader)
Cronin - cleric (leader)
Fairwind - ranger (striker)
Leo - paladin (defender)
Perigia - wizard (controller)
Just be aware that long range damage at high hp targets is not going to be your strongest suit and adjust tactics accordingly.

Is this a hint of at a possible encounter ;)
But ya other than using my crossbow, lightning lure is my only ranged power. And I still have to pretty close to use that.
*Whew, almost hit that new flag button, instead of reply.
I think we're fine. As the last fight showed, Fairwind can run in and shift about until the others decide to make it worth their while getting closer. ;D
Fairwind nearly gave me heart failure in the last fight. If my monster rolling was just a little better, she'd have been dogmeat with 4 of them surrounding her.
And no - why on earth would you think there might be further encounters? It's tea and croquet round the next corner.
Always a good plan.
Fairwind can take it. What's the point of playing if you aren't going to take a few risks? :D
I hit things. ;)
I'm looking at DMing a game, prob 4 players. Anyone interested? The ideas I have at the moment are:
1) 4E core game - all the core assumptions in place, taking place in Nentir Vale and environs
2) Swords and sorcery Conan style game using this system ZeFRS (you can google it, I am too lazy to link again :D)
OR these others have occured to me:
3) 4E swords and sorcery - martial classes only with multiclassing into warlock and wizard
4) 4E Wuxia - martial artists fly around fighting Oni and Shirokinukatsukami (not really) :D
The last two are slightly more iffy - I am more keen on the first two.

God, why is it games pop up I want to be a part of? If you have room I'd be interested Fabes. Would it be possible to play as an Barabarian?
Probably so, if I did a 4E game, which I would like to do at some point.
So, I'll narrow it down to two groups:
Interested in:
1) 4E in some way
Rosey
Lazaro
2) Other RPG system for pulp swords and sorcery

If there's a space I'd be interested of course I don't mind the system what other rpg system did you have in mind by the way?
It's a system called ZeFRS or Zeb's Fantasy Roleplaying System. It was used by TSR's old Conan game, but is now free.

If memory serves thats the one where you actually increased your skills through use, I do remember it made me read a bit of Conan where it highlighted the magic rules when Conan killed an adversary armed with a magic sword enchanted to make it's wielder go berserk with the skill of a master swordsman and after the bad guy who gave him the sword learned that someone had killed him he muttered it had to be a master swordsman to have beaten him.
Thanks for the link will have to read through (and save the site to peruse later)!
Still would go for either though!

Mmm, more 4E goodness.
Please count me in for 1), if you don't mind that my weekday availability will continue be restricted for another week or two before I resume being a monster poster.

Lazaro

Ragadolf is also potentially in.
This is sounding very good. Go for it.
OK with Rags for option 1 that's 5 PCs for 4E. I'll start a discussion thread. If anyone wants to be an alternate, please let me know.
I still really want to have a try with ZeFRS as well. If anyone is up for that please tell me.
Telling you.
Thanks :D
Guess I need to drum up some more players.
Otto - since you still seem to be having troubles, I've taken the liberty of temporarily side-lining Chryzylyx. She's back at the monastery talking to Allendi and looking stuff up.
If/when you get back, I can easily get you to rejoin the party.
I posted this on the game thread, but it's probably buried in the debris of whiskey tasting and soul baring by now.
You chaps are about 300XP away from leveling up. You started off with 1,000 each (as level 2 pcs), gained 300 from Devlin and the gang and picked up a further 642 for dealing with kobolds, rats and metallics bit and bobs. Another encounter and you'll be there I reckon. Which will bring you an extra power of some kind each. You might like to start thinking ahead.

And for some of us (not including Cronin) the fact that Martial Power releases tomorrow may hold some appeal . . .
Don't tell Rosey, but
Somewhat underhanded to be keeping secrets from your GM ... Nonetheless, I am a person of honour and shall not peek. Yet.
The appearance of Martial Power is eagerly anticipated. Knowing Amazon, it will arrive 3 weeks late and in the form of the Annotated Thomas the Tank Engine Annual 2003.

Well I got Martial Power today. I'll update on what I find. So far there two new types of fighter builds discussed. The Battlerager and Tempest.
Two new class features - Battlerager Vigor, which lets you gain temporary hit points when ever you hit with a melee attack. It also gives you a bonus to damage if you're wearing light or chain armor, and the bonus increases if you're using an axe, hammer, mace or pick.
Tempest Techinque, gives you a bonus with off-handed weapons. You also gain the two-defense feat. You recieve a bonus to damage when wielding two weapons, and the bonus increases if the weapons have the off-hand property.
More to come, and I'll open a thread for this later.

Spellscarred Susceptibility A spellscarred
creature takes a –2 penalty to all defenses and saving
throws against the Spellplague and the same penalty
against plaguechanged or spellscarred creatures.
Spellplague Sense A spellscarred creature
knows when an area of Spellplague, or a
plaguechanged or spellscarred creature, is within 5
squares of him or her.
So I went ahead and updated
