The Fluff

Roughly 15 years before the events of the main series, before Salem’s horror was revealed, the world of Remnant suffered at the hands of a different threat that nearly toppled the order of the world. The one calling themselves Retribution gathered an army of grimm and launched attacks on town after town.

This is the little known tale of the team that braved the storm and held back the tide. Swept under the rug to avoid a panic, they fought with bravery and passion and showed to Ozpin just how necessary trust would be when Salem finally struck.

But of course, as with all stories, the legend had to come from humble beginnings. How did they become the heroes they were?

The Crunch

The game will begin with a group of new students starting at one of the four huntsmen academies. Which one will be up to you, the players, and will progress a little through their education. The midpoint would be graduation, and (hopefully) the finale would be the final battle with Retribution and their army of grimm.

It’ll feature a series of connected oneshot style scenarios with timeskips in between. The entire campaign is likely to take a narrative timescale of 10-13 years, from the characters at 17 to 27-30.

The System

The system I’ll be using is Fight! 2E, the game is built around combos and fighting game style fights which I think fits the world well. It’s a system I’m still relatively new to though, so bear with me.

The Pitch
[ +- ] The Story
[ +- ] Out of Character
Adult Themes

Other than people being killed and the obviously questionable ethics of child soldiers, none that stand out to me.

Experience Requirements

None. I’m always happy to teach new systems!

How to apply / Post frequency etc.

I’m not sure how much interest this’ll get, so I’m debating between a 1-1 game or a group. I’m happy to do either, depending on who wants to play, but in theory I won’t go over 4 players.

With a 1-1 I might expect a faster post frequency, but nothing more than once a day, while a group I’d aim for once a day but expect slower. The overall duration of the game will, if everything goes right, take some time but with the oneshot system people can maybe come and go? Who knows.

Anywho, to apply simply respond here or send a DM, I’m not fussed. I’ll just be happy if someone does. XD

I'm interested. I just recently started watching RWBY seriously (just finished up Season 3), and I helped playtest Fight 1e so I'd been meaning to give 2e a proper shake for a while. Admittedly, I'm still adjusting to the site, but as long as that's not a problem I'd be happy to participate.

Not a problem at all. Are you okay with 1-1? (assuming this doesn't get any further interest)

It's not a deal-breaker for me; I can do 1 on 1.

I'm interested, as I've been wanting to try out Fight! for a while. I noticed that the second edition has three(?) combat rule sets, which one were you thinking about using?

Cool, but it looks like we might have more interest. I'll set something up and (potentially) invite some players tomorrow to kick discussions off.

They're based on different situations. The main 1 v 1 will be used for significant fights (E.g. Boss grimm or other hunters/huntresses) while dramatic combat will be used for anything more mook based. Thug thrashing probably won't come up, as I think dramatic combat covers everything it does.

I think those are the three you're referring to?

Yes, that was what I was referring to. Thank you for the invite, I'm looking forwards to the game.

We could still use 1-2 more players if anyone's curious.
Jul 18, 2023 10:01 pm
I would like to give this a try!

We could still do with one more!

Are you still looking for one more?
If so I would be interested.

Sure, we need one more so we're happy to have you. :)
