Out of Character chatter

Jan 20, 2023 6:45 am
This is for out of character discussions and questions.

Some rules for the entire forum:

1. PLEASE use the OOC tag when posting out-of-character (OOC) in a game-play session
2. Do not control another player's character without their explicit permission
3. You may dictate how the scenery around you reacts, and you can even control nameless NPCs, granted that they aren't doing anything exceptional (like giving you things for free) and you don't need their reaction (trying to scare someone, seduce someone, etc)
4. I'd prefer posting at least once a day to once every other day. At most, please post within 1 week, max, and don't make a habit of it. If you are going to be absent, please inform me. If you don't post within a week, we will move on without you. I will control your character, but I will make sure their actions are neither stupid, out-of-character, or self-destructive. I will have them retire from the scene as soon as possible to a 'safe' location.
5. Let us have a game that avoids gore and sexual violence. If sex happens, I strongly prefer it to occur off screen. Basically, lets keep this game TV-PG (DLSV).
6. Never use in any context, even censored, any religious, racial, or homophobic slurs, even if it would make sense for the era; you can describe someone as having said something offensive, but do not actually have them say it. Everything else here is up for discussion, this rule is not.
6a. The exception is supernatural slurs, as long as they are fictitious and not based off real world slurs. Examples include Parasite (Vampires), Mongrel (Werewolves), and Glitter-tosser (Mages).
7. When not in what I'd call an action scene, try to be descriptive, and include your character's thoughts when possible. I'm looking for 1 paragraph minimum, although I understand that sometimes its not possible, especially when we're doing action-by-action, round-by-round combat.

All sounds pretty standard. One question...
OOC:
Regarding OOC stuff in in-character threads, do you want double brackets or would OOC tags be better?
Jan 20, 2023 9:06 pm
Yeah, when I last used Gamersplane, they didn't have OOC tags, lets use those instead.

Hello, everyone! :D Excited to play with you all.

I'm not too good at posting daily, but I think I can do every other day or so. Except weekends, if that's okay?
Also not too familiar with the system, so do kick me gently if I do something wrong. XD

May I request character sheet integration to be enabled? I like making automatic rolls for my sheets. :D
[ +- ] How To

Sure, why not?

It says this when I do that:

This is not valid JSON and will not be saved.
Jan 23, 2023 8:46 pm
Do you have anything in there already? If yes, it should be something like this:

{
"characterSheetIntegration":true,
(whatever else you have)
}


It needs a comma after the statement if there is more than one. Otherwise it should be working.

(You can just give me whatever you have in the rules and I'll edit it, if you want!)

I won't be around for the next couple of days, going to a wedding.

I did create the first gameplay, erm, episode. I'll open it up once everyone has a completed character. For now, it'll give you a nod as to the starting nature of the game.

Oh, I would say that to get in the 'mode' for this game, I highly recommend watching the original Charmed (preferably Season 1) and the TV show Providence. HERE are some legal options for streaming it, and the last few seasons are legally Streaming for free, with ads, on Pluto TV, but I will say that last few seasons are less of a Supernatural Slice of Life and more of a Monster-of-the-Week...and there are tons and tons of better examples of Monster-of-the-Week. There is no known way I know of to legally stream Providence, and I know that you should absolutely not go to a website like fmovies.to, and search for Providence there.

YES! I finished the feat lists!

Perks are now complete! I need to check the supplemental books mind you, but the perks from the Core Book are completed.

I just added this to the game's overall description.

Some thoughts about the game's Slice of Life theme
Players take on the roles of residents, new and old, living in a tight-knit community that experiences high levels of tourism. Residents all know each other, and secrets are hard to keep. The group must navigate the social dynamics of the community and work together to solve problems and overcome challenges. Scenarios include finding affordable housing, navigating public transportation, successfully participating in local events and celebrations, and making meaningful connections with others. The key to a successful slice-of-life game is to focus on character development and interpersonal relationships.

Good of you to remind us. Unfortunately most systems focus on the various fun ways one can dismember or explode the enemy, and this one is no different XD. I wonder how our student and teacher PCs are doing, character creation-wise.

I need to review @oopsylon 's character one last time, but I believe they will be the first player who is good to go!

Coming along on my end. There's a lot of moving parts, and I can be a bit indecisive at times, but we're getting there.
