The Menu Screen [OOC]

This is a place to talk about anything out of character.

This is actually incorrect. Book says it's "Level + [Might X 5]" So its 5+(6x5) instead of (5x5)+6.

Also, I'm surprised that there are no gunblades in the weapon list.

Oh, yeah, that’s a mistype. Thanks for pointing that out.

As for gun blades, this is just the base weapon list. I’ll add other more fancy weapons once we’re settled on the magic/tech balance.

Umm, are we allowed to discuss ideas in The World Map or it should be one post from each player and we roll with what we'll get? Because I'd appreciate feedback on my ideas there.

Discussion is fine! I'm not strict on anything like that, after all communication is the key to a good group dynamic!

In that case, I'm awaiting communique about this part:
Since it's clearly not the most optimistic detail ever.

I think that's OK, its a bit dark, but not too dark, and it's your character's backstory ( and thus, your decision) right?

I don't think we need to pressure people to do things like that, if Nezz wants to respond I'm sure he will. With that said though, I have set up a discord here.

Sounds good!

Just a quick update, I've reached out to a few people regarding a replacement player but have yet to receive a confirmation. In the meantime feel free to fill the space with some character posts in our downtime!

Hi everyone! I'm the replacement player! :D Happy to be here, thanks for the invitation GM. I'll get straight to submitting a PC. Gonna speed read to see what the rest of you have picked, not intending to overlap.

Cool, welcome aboard. Seems really hard to overlap in this game.

Is there a character sheet somewhere I can use?

There should be one in the custom game sheet list.

I notice that Velisse doesn't have an origin set @BedzoneII, but I'll let you get to that when you want to. Otherwise, I'll try and get into the headspace for a continuation / her introduction but I'm playing L5R irl today so I may not get the chance. :)

Will do! Yeah I was browsing here to see if we've established any lore or back history, to see if I ought to fit an origin in. I'll complete it today.

We could always use more lore. Like, do unicorns or dragons exist in this world?

No, but there could be unidragons or dracocorns!

Happy to use the previous player's historical retelling of the Kirin-Dunova conflict. Velisse D'Artois was a former knight of the Kirin empire, now that the empire is gone, she finds herself at a loss regarding the direction her life ought to take, as she is no longer in service to the crown (a masterless ronin so to speak).

Hmm, I figure the most expedient way to insert Velisse in would be that the crew find her at or near the crater. Or if there's supposed to be an upcoming encounter near there, the crew could find her trying to hold off some enemies. Just a suggestion.

There will be an upcoming encounter there soon. It would've involved the players heading down into the crater proper, but I can shuffle things around a bit without affecting the plot. I should have our continuation up soon.
