But more seriously, let's see how the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits fares as monster hunters. Always works in RPGs.
First for the GNOME EMPIRE.In b4 you get eaten by a dragon.
Also: Interesting, a discussion thread. Is it about the superiority of Gnomes? If so, I heartily agree!

Well, we do have the young, peppy girl, the wizenedwizard*cough*gnome*cough*...The brutal, cleaver-wielding Death Orc...Some creepy lizard-dude, and, uh...Another demon. Hm.

Animated or Live-Action?Live-action so it is more preposterously ridiculous.

Bah, I'm taking the Therianthrope. :P
Also, some questions @Mod: Do you take people who have totally no knowledge on Monster Hunter as a whole? And...you do accept deviation in races, right?
So like, didn't I see one guys bio stated he hates monsters and demons, and isn't you know half our party either a monstor or a demon. (depending of course on whether he views orcs and lizard folk as monsters, and half demons as demons.)That could be me, although the bio states he is suspicious of demons and monsters, but does not hate them per se. In fact, that is a bit interesting since he isn't human either.

I have frankly little idea what monster hunter you're talking about. I have set this in my own universe with a mish-mash of fantasy. And about the races... depends.. consult me for that.
Gyeeh...Well, YouTube is a no-go for me, but I can play without a map, right?
So can I claim one of the reserve spots? =P

To sum up the videos.
Style 1 looks like this, but imagine it in a fantasy world, closer look and big city names and/or village names.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Style 2 is like Style 1 but with RGB colours and more details unlike style one which will have an brownish-orange colour and city/villages names only. So you can see the mountains,rivers, cities, roads. It's more of an overview but it takes away the Roleplaying part in my opinion, cause you can see nearly everything instead of discovering it somehow.. However if i make map with style one you can perhaps print it out, or edit it with paint to add mountains and villages which you discover in your journeys.
That's cool, Caellath. It's always disturbing when people are into the whole anthropomorphic animal things. And, they look NOTHING like your picture, Irony.Ahahahahahah, very astute of you to notice.
A Kitsune is a fox, that can magically transform into a woman, or so it's said. They usually retain a few minor animal characteristics, as Caellath said. Ears, tails, the fangs, plus the behavior. They're also considered very unlucky, and very evil, by the way.
In Japanese myth, foxes are unlucky tricksters, who lure people to bad ends.You are a biased man.
That's cool, Caellath. It's always disturbing when people are into the whole anthropomorphic animal things. And, they look NOTHING like your picture, Irony.You shouldn't be so easily disturbed. And yes, I'm familiar with the traditional myth, but comparing them to Khajiit raises some interesting questions. :P

You have not known the full myth.
Go read up more. Because that isn't true.
Stereotyping is bad.

Blargh, people.
Cat people in my RTD = khajit-like people which are fur covered.
Foxfolk/kitsune whatever = People who have some characteristics of a fox. Like a tail,ears, not necessarily the fangs, eyes and behavior.
I'm starting to think i should write up the foxfolk lore first.

Then your orcs are more like the Elder Scrolls style, not the Warhammer 40k style?
Bleh. You're the boss, though.
I'd really like to waitlist in advance without a finished character sheet...
So I'll just state now that I'm taking a Bow. :P
I just want to say that this is going to be one amazing RTD.
YAAAAAAY! TANK YOU!Also don't you mean desert or mountain? If silk and the fox are going to the forest then don't we have to choose another of the other two places? Unless you lot are intending to throw the poor old orc out on a mountain by himself. :p
So, Desert or Forest, Pegleg?
He would also be the closest thing that team forest has to a ranger.
We'll pick up a nice orcish girl for you, Caerwyn.
Wouldn't a goblin gal be a little better suited? We'd not want a strong orcish women breaking him.
Should we be worried about Dharma being too dehydrated to explore a desert after drinking so much alcohol?
@Tiruin: Post your sheet here, that's not fun.Eheh, oops. ^^
Name: Theri Aria
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Foxfolk//Kitsune
-Str 7
-Agi 9
-Cha 10
-Tough 2
-Int 7
Weapon: Bow
Personal Item: A small opalescent orb -- perhaps only of sentimental value to the young kitsune? It is translucent.
Affinity: Light
Bio:
A being in the lands of mortal men, Theri was an outcast who lived a mostly nomadic life. Apart from her kin and clan in the lands where the blossoms lay, she took mostly of an aspect from humanity -- she knew nothing of those who her kinfolk served, but knew of those which served the land and the truth.
Theri only had one thing that reminded her of a different world, a gift that was said to have been found at her birth by her human guardians, the orb that now hangs from her belt. It was said, that she was found near one of the shrines dedicated to Inari - the god of foxes and rice, along with other associated ideas. Expecting no more than a poor animal to nurse back to health, she was taken in by those who found her -- humans.
Now, given her upbringing, Theri was still treated like those who inhabited the wilderness and dread-lands of the world: like filth and like a monster. Her single tail and fox-like ears set her apart despite her feminine body, which was covered with a soft blanket of silver fur, was considered quite attractive by those who used to scorn her for laughs.
She decided to prove them all wrong when opportunity presented itself, honing her skill as a huntress in the meantime. By joining their forces of Volikmar.
@Tiruin: Foxfolk/Kitsunes here aren't theriantropes unless the GM says they can shapeshift or something. As far as I remember, they were basically humans with fox ears, tails etc.

Who knows.....
I'd still like a bit of background on the orcs :D For instance do orcs like goblins, or treat them as inferior evil little things?
Well, since I didn't post any action and just picked a group before the trip started, I suppose I can submit one, right?

Everyone expect Khan have to post a action.
Dharma dreams of his elf village. His parents are still alive here, their house sitting in the village. Dharma lies in a pile of leaves which oddly feel like clothing. Orcs, gnomes, and other creatures pass through the village in the background. One of the elves comes up to Dharma, and begins speaking. "Drank too much, didn't you?" The elf transforms into a glass of beer before continuing. "Did you figure it out yet? How paralysis magic works?" Dharma shakes his head. "You'd better figure it out. We need to be useful." The rest of the dream drifts forward in a strange twilight between drowsy confusion and enlightenment.
((Anyone here ever go to sleep not knowing how to solve a problem, and then wake up knowing the answer? That's what I'm aiming for here. Of course, it was never previously established that Dharma was trying to learn paralyzing magic, but whatever. Here's to hoping for a good roll.))
- How does one make a in-thread linky which warps the user to the designated post? I'd like to do this for easier turn navigating.Click on the subject line of the post in question; it'll change your current URL to that post specifically, which you can then use in a link.
I'm thinking of making a paralysis potion for the gnome so he could dip his crossbow bolts in it. Tell me if you guys think it would be more useful to make that or do stick with my current action (study the desert). Note that it would probably take at least two turns to make, since I need to learn the recipe on top of making the potion.
Edit: Oh, and I think orc lore would be the best choice for next lore.
Don't you dare tranquilize me!
I am going to poke this and prod this because our GM needs a bit of help in one of my favorite threads ever.
Yes he does. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=99160.msg3650263#msg3650263)
@Zero: :P
Can someone lend me some cash to purchase books? I promise I (probably) will (not) be good for it.
2.I designed a new method of combat which i want to use in my RTD, however this involves PM's which is not a good tool. However i remember that some time i ago i played some Mafia game where they used a kind of group chat which was on a site to communicate amongst each-other. I would GREATLY appreciate if someone could provide me the name of this tool/site or something similar.
Can someone lend me some cash to purchase books? I promise I (probably) will (not) be good for it.
In-Game? Sure, I AM the only one with money around here.

Uhh, scratch this, I just probably spent it all, depending on how much goldlings are worth.
Damn potions and spells...
Also, those of you coming with me are in for a BIIIG surprise...
Ladies and Gentlemen i present you the fruits of my labor.. My combat mechanic! From that i will write the heroic victory of Khan! ( Don't post on the site please)

What use is this kind of question?!
Take your time. Turns will be on weekly base, earlier if possible. Absentees will be warned and kicked after one week of non-responding. If you will not be able to post turns for a prolonged amount of time please say so i can freeze your character or lock the thread???
Wait, we have people on the waitlist?

...In my humble opinion. Plus, turns don't have to be "once a week super 16 paragraph chapters"...You have very nice writing styles, but shorter and quicker turns would be cool. I dunno. I just wanna kill something with my crossbow.

I write that what you want your character to do. If you have the urge to kill, then go hunt like Khan! So far he has 2 kills, now that reminds me. I should make a killboard.

Oh. Well, I don't really know what's going on. Still waiting for Irony's team actions and stuff to finish.
5. Sand Witches: These creatures are the dwellers of these sands for many years before any race came to existence. They control the deserts with their dreadful magic, though nowadays they are more lustful for males for unknown reasons. Failing in satisfying their desires will result in curses cast upon you which can have positive effects or negative effects depending on how you look at it.In order to protect himself from the sand witches, Dharma spent his remaining silver on a frilly dress and some make-up. He was surprised to find how much he liked having them on. He also managed to snag a deal with the tailor to make dresses for Dharma's other companions to wear, and he spent the rest of the day daydreaming about what lipstick would look best on his orc friend.
I am not entirely sure as to what to think about this.... just make sure if your healing spells are touch based you keep them appropriate. I'd rather not become skilled in cross-racial biology.5.

Just a heads up - I completely changed my turn. This may or may not be incredibly obnoxious, depending on whether anything about my turn has been written yet.

Does anyone want to help me steal potion ingredients? I could use a distraction.Didn't I already give you two goldlings?
I spent most of it on books. I'm not sure if the remaining 5 silverlings is enough. I guess getting a price check on the ingredients would help. Can I get a price check, Mr.Zero?Does anyone want to help me steal potion ingredients? I could use a distraction.Didn't I already give you two goldlings?
I have it. They range from 2 to 6 bronze, If the message I received a while back is to be believed.Oh. Well forget all my unnecessary complications then, I'll just buy some paralysis potions. Thank you for that.
"So I guess I must be talking to myself since both my party members just wandered off while i was trying to plot with them!" Khan growls furiously.
Where are we supposed to go? I don't remember being told to speak with anyone in particular. Is our mission to be stationed places and help random people deal with monsters?
