Ouch #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} sounds like Richmont High Enslaved, #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} failed to pursue a 1st Age myth, #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} Scorned! Thats a life, eh? :) geez, poor guy or gal Enslaved, Failed to pursue a 1st Age Myth, and finally Scorned Well things are looking up! Even considering the mortality rate for D&D adventurers #roll 3[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- two hard times and... ? gained a mentor nice Roll a d6 for each and I can fill in details wooo #roll 3[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- enslaved then 1 and 5 Enslaved, Hounded, and Gained a Hunter Mentor Its a tough world it seems ! at least for our characters we clearly met as slaves Neither of us has rolled a 5 on the random experience table Which is a Windfall :P Also, there is no windfall chart yet, I'm drawing a blank on that we met as slaves, and then you left to pursue some sort of myth, while I just got hounded I need six options not sure what that means but then when you got back, you were scorned, and I found this dude who mentors me, that's also a hunter :) I'd have invited you to train with me, but I was too bus scorning you sorry lol I'm amazed at how easy the Hard Times table was and how hard the Windfall one is being :P I have one entry now: A True Friend of Merit well, it's easier to come up with Bads than Goods Briefcase full of Money Magical Item/Artifact? Well I shortened entry one to "Friendship" Then perhaps "A Few Coins" Didn't Die lol Didn't roll a 6 :) magic item is "Rare Find" which is more open to player interpretation I'd split that similarly to the failed pursuits Legedary Find, Mythical Find added: Renown, and A Title Sure, that makes sense Love because finding love is damned important I have a list now Fellowship, Purse of Coins, Renown, Legendary Find, A Title, Love Purse of coins doesn't seem to fit anymore so wait, I know I'm a former slave, then hounded? (did I escape?) then found a hunter as a mentor So I'm thinking Limited Wealth but... what land did I come from? what is my race? We didn't do that I only rolled what I'm working on :) ah Roll 2d6 and take the least three times for Born, Grew, and Named Then we can answer that #roll 2[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} #roll 2[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} #roll 2[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} 3,4,2: Born in the Wild of Crowned Valley, Grew up in the Upper Underground (wow), and was Named in a Village. «--- Paganini (~Paganini@A3F68A2D.73537FFB.187822F.IP) has Quit (Ping timeout) #roll 3[2d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- Somehow this fits nicely into my doomer adventurer, taken from the process of Grew given Upper Underground: "Accept one of the following impressions: “Glory Hound”, “Reckless Daredevil”, “Treaure Seeker” or make up one of your own that fits a childhood of dangerous adventure in the skirts of the underground." bah #roll 2[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- #roll 3[2d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- #roll 2[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- okay, so 3, 1 #roll 2[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- 3,1,1 Born in the the Wild of Crowned Valley, and grew up and was named one of the Cities Since nothing gave us a race, we need that too. One more least of 2d6. #roll 2[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} #roll 2[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- I'm a 2! and you're a 1 Reverse that :) ah, right Your adventurer is, Seges: Tall thin humans that live long, Vetu-kin, the brains. Mine is, Macto: Short stocky humans that live short, Arks-kin, the brawn. We are both humans No wonder we got enslaved :( I'm... an elf-type tall thin longevity, with brains Right, part elf and I'm part dwarf Heritage here gives you a summary of the six above ground races, http://wiki.wishray.com/doku.php?id=audeo:binding_of_laurus and I'm also a hunter so... I'm a stereotypical elf wood elf, at least Well I suppose now I know why my guy grew up in the upper underground, lusting for the gold mines! :) no wait, I'm a Valley Elf :D ---» Paganini (~Paganini@A3F68A2D.73537FFB.187822F.IP) has Joined #indierpgs »» ChanServ sets mode +q #indierpgs Paganini »» ChanServ gives channel operator status to Paganini Well don't take too much stock in the valley part of Crowned Valley, it comprises the living part of the entire world that is Laurus :) well, I did grow up in the Wild so Wild Elf? :D Born in the wild, grew up in the city Likely enslaved by the Guardians of the Crown, they are the big slavers of the modern age of Laurus sure, stolen from my home That is the large and stifling organization that protects the valley from the devils outside then I escaped slavery, and was hounded by slave hunters then finally found a hunter to mentor me Sounds likely Its been a tough life, but it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken. I mean, adventurer with gusto! Well you already have two merits for your adventurer: Cunning from being born in the wild, and Educated from growing up in the city, nice. Merits are nice «--- Ettin (Ettin@MagicStar-45907240.static.tpgi.com.au) has Quit (Disintegrated: ) Holy crap, I'm filling in the Minor Misfortune table and I've done four. They are all the exact same number of characters... What are the odds! Ah! Another one! heh the odds of that last one being the exact same is actually rather high after you noticed the first four because human brains are weird once they notice patterns so why 'audeo'? is it because of your speakers? oh shit, I have a fault? cunning and educated and cautious Audeo, latin for "dare" or "I date" *I dare whoops heh the root of audacious, then right, seems likely Pronounced "ow-deh-O" from what I can garner online, which is pleasing to say and easy to remember, IMO yep. From Latin audacia (“boldness”), from audax (“bold”), from audeo (“I am bold, I dare”) rather different from audio. it's interesting that that one very similar vowel sound is all it takes to go from "I dare" to "I hear" hehe, right I dare and I obey, one syllable different linguistics is interesting »» JP nods ouch, the major misfortune table is a B I T C H good? Disfigured, Hated, Cursed, Enfeebled, Delusional, and Crippled oh hey, though because I was named in the city, I get a Windfall right The only way to get to Major Misfortune at the moment is to have been Named in the Deadlands Which gives you a roll on that and the Merit: Champion :) »» JP goes about filling in the second processes «--- Paganini (~Paganini@A3F68A2D.73537FFB.187822F.IP) has Quit (Ping timeout) ---» Paganini (~Paganini@A3F68A2D.73537FFB.187822F.IP) has Joined #indierpgs »» ChanServ sets mode +q #indierpgs Paganini »» ChanServ gives channel operator status to Paganini Lx, the processes for Mentor experiences is filled in Hard Times done too #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} okay, time for my mentor #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- wait, no. I'm already a hunter right :) so that's my windfall I guess because I needed to roll it too I haz a fellowship! and because we're being lazy and defaultish, I've got the Sure Footed Stance of the Hunter and Highly Sharpened Senses but I guess I have to roll for my Hounded too You get some uncommon means actually, wait I gotta roll to see who enslaved me #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- 'some mighty guild' indeed Seems fitting and... was hounded. do I hae to roll again, or can I just say 'it makes sense that I was hounded by the people who enslaved me'? It generally says: choose/roll for that reason However, I've been lazy of late as I write it out heh So yea, you don't need to reroll well, some mighty guild also hounds me it's clearly a mercenary guild. a 'Some Mighty' is just a hired gun. heh oh and I have Steely Resolve! and minor misfortune #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- betrayed by a friend fucker YOU did it heh that's why I later scorned you :D I'm hounded because of something YOU did while you go off and follow your first age myth Seems likely I'm hiding AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT I'm about to write up the failed pursuit ones :D the big ones never end well :) oh, now uncommon means #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- I'm a Mastermind? okay that's how they never caught me Right, you developed it along the way :) creating characters is always more interesting as a group now I can blame you for my problems yep I suppose I should roll on the allegience table for my fellowship because it's probably not the Some Mighties »» JP nods not a 2, not a 2 #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- whew I'm connected to the Guardians of the Crown? somehow through my Hunter mentor or no this came from my made-a-name so before I was enslaved, I made fast friends with someone in the Guardians or while I spent my childhood in the Wild, my adolescence in the City, and made my name in the City too. And AFTER I was Enslaved? Yep, you urbanized born/grew/named make sense to me as a process so the second processes are after that? Well remember the note, the slavery is a legal for convicted criminals here's how I'm imagining it: Lx, yes I spent my childhood in the Wild, then was sold into slavery by my poor family, who needed monies brought to the City where I grew up, likely as a slave of the Guardians I thought some Mighty Guild enslaved you? well, they did later oh right, ok, we aren't there yet the Guardians bought me first, so I could impress them (in Naming) You were already an accomplished slave :) so somewhere around there, despite having a fellowship with the Guardians, I wound up in a slave auction, or wound up being just stolen I was probably very close to earning my freedom before the Mighties stole me they are in the unfortunate habit of taking already-trained-and-well-regarded slaves because they then don't have to waste the investment »» JP nods so, fyi, you were probably also enslaved similarly ;) since you betrayed me and all Someone was getting to big for their britches was all so, as a mercenary guild, they took me out of the city With that smart air of smart superiority (to a battlefield, and also away from people who might recognize me) I took care of that hey, I EARNED my fucking freedom, then they took me away Right, suck-up too, I forgot :D I didn't suck up to the fucking Mighties but I served the Guardians well, because they served me well Oh no, I'm saying I betrayed you with the Guardians and had you sold off to the Mighties, if you can see that ohh, I can see that That was the betrayal yes excellent you're the reason I don't trust dwarves hehe and why I call Mactos 'dwarves', because that's a racial slur Remember we are both human, just elf-like and dwarf-like :) but Arks are dwarves too hmm Vetu and Arks are Elves and Dwarves actually either way, fuck Arks and Macto because of you lol Well I don't know if the game mechanics are going to work but it looks like the chargen will be fun with the right mindset :) either way, after enough time I finally escaped from the Mighties and did a Frank Abnegale for a while, avoiding them (Mastermind) though maybe that's more Intrigue than Mastermind hm Mastermind as I see it when I wrote it down, is Nate Ford. either way, somehow I used my masterminding to keep away from the Mighties ahh that works »» Paganini is now known as Mastermind hehe anyway, my shell games kept the Mighties from finding me until I finally made it 'home' my Hunter Mentor was family (which is why we're poor. not a lot of money in hunting.) tasty food though Ugh, failed to pursue a first age myth... #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} Yay, it didn't end Horribly Bad, just Badly! I get a minor misfortune and +2 Hurry Likely from all the running away Oh, and +1 Ip, nice #roll 1d6 -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- -Notice- {from RPGServ} String of Bad Luck heh No wonder this guy adventures, deathwish :P So, enslaved, escaped, 1st age pursuit ended badly with a string of bad luck, and finally scorned from society. I bet he betrayed you to earn this escape probably put me in your spot you were going to be sold and of course, the Mighties conveniently ignored my protests until it was 'too late' hehe ok, one chart to go and then I can work on the auditing process Which is the step after all this where you see if your character has enough definition or buy some with starting "Gold" yay, all tables done so in audeo, you have to audit hehe I just added in you can waive the audit though, since it will in a way balance out in play even if your adventurer turns out pretty bad. I think, dunno honestly, time will tell. well I'm a former slave, fugitive, and hunter I'm good hehe btw, 'hoard' not 'horde of treasure' unless it's, like, a gang of treasure also: where does it say 'roll 2 dice and take the lower'? we did that for the first processes, but not the second. ah, nevermind It is for the first part of the process whoops, re: horde :) hm the implications of Random Creation is that I should have also done it for the Mentor/Hard Times/etc. too did we do that? I figure its all fast and free, since well, its not like you could just another option at the moment :) oh sure but it seems kind of sad to do that for, say, the Windfall table makes Love even more rare :( like "nope, only way you'll get Love is boxcars." «--- Mastermind (~Paganini@A3F68A2D.73537FFB.187822F.IP) has Quit (Ping timeout) The two dice least is only for the first tables It should say that somewhere, but it does not cool sorry for the nitpikiness, but... I hope it helps what's a lp? Innate potential Its one of the two types of chips that let you fill up abilities aha let's see So you have 3 potential hurry, but it counts as 0 unless you put 3 Ip on it I have +1 Hurry, +1 Trick, +1 ip +1 Hurry again +2 IP, +1 to a random/chosen ability +! to a random/chosen ability so I only have +2 hurry ---» Mastermind (~Paganini@MagicStar-BD8F9D2B.dr03.crvl.il.frontiernet.net) has Joined #indierpgs All abilities start at 2 ah, okay, so I can get up to 4 for Hurry right plus two for random/chosen abilities There is a table for that #roll 2[1d6] -Notice- -RPGServ/#indierpgs- hurry and drive so... I'm going to be a nascar driver lots of hurry, some drive hehe hurry is the goto combat roll but I have 3 ips You start with 5 Ips So you have 8 chips to assign to your abilities at any one time. hm so I have 2 Push, 3 Drive, 5 Hurry, 2 Sharp, 3 Trick, and 8 IPs I undestand 'freeform creation' as a concept what's unfolding creation? Its random rolls and choices based on those rolls, and returning to random rolls «--- Mastermind (~Paganini@MagicStar-BD8F9D2B.dr03.crvl.il.frontiernet.net) has Quit (Ping timeout) Well I'm in total burnout for design and quite ready to run Audeo, damn So much for some testing today At least I will likely finish that all up tomorrow during the day So it will be ready to go at a moments notice for testing later ---» Paganini (~Paganini@MagicStar-FB280B21.dr03.crvl.il.frontiernet.net) has Joined #indierpgs »» ChanServ sets mode +q #indierpgs Paganini »» ChanServ gives channel operator status to Paganini ---» Demo2 (Demota@MagicStar-E2BD3C5.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has Joined #indierpgs «--- Demota (Demota@MagicStar-E2BD3C5.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has Quit (Ping timeout) okay, so... you're going to run Audeo? cool
