Also: Interesting, a discussion thread. Is it about the superiority of Gnomes? If so, I heartily agree!

Hey, you'd better watch out for that Demon. He's not just a regular old demon.

He's a TEENAGE DEMON. Much more potential for destruction.

Live-action so it is more preposterously ridiculous.

Hey I am not a Death Orc, I am a moderately intelligent fire orc... with a giant meat cleaver.... who likes killing things...  Fuck it Death Orc is easier to say hahaha.  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.)

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.

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 think he's talking about the Monster Hunter Game Series. The newest of which being Monster Hunter Tri.

Post by: kilakan on September 13, 2012, 05:38:17 pm
Well I rather like the look of the first map myself, I mean unless we have aerial view monsters or something to make highly detailed maps.  Maybe based on what the map is of and the quality of it you could use one or the other, tourism type maps and cheap ones would use the one with less detail, while as other 'work-of-art' maps could use the secondary?
Honestly either way that was an awesome first turn!
Title: Re: Monster Hunter RTD : Discussion thread.
Post by: IronyOwl on September 13, 2012, 06:15:27 pm
Yeah, prefer the first one. Second seems too detailed for the sake of detail, harder to make without really telling us anything more.
Title: Re: Monster Hunter RTD : Discussion thread.
Post by: Caellath on September 13, 2012, 07:08:19 pm
@Suggestion for map: I prefer the first one, because it looks more like a map and the extra detailing isn't really needed. The first also helps in immersion, since it is something our characters would have on them.

Also, I liked the first turn, it was a really good start already. :P

@Suggestion: If the player data for each character was in only one spoiler, it would save space from the turn, since we would have six spoilers, one for each character.

@Suggestion for race lore: Demonkin?
Title: Re: Monster Hunter RTD : Discussion thread.
Post by: Greenstarfanatic on September 13, 2012, 08:04:12 pm
My suggestion for map, if workload is not a problem for you, is # 2, although I am currently very outnumbered here.
I feel that it would be a little bit more helpful, and, if technology of some kind is around in the time period we are fighting in, they could end up being holographic images.

As for Race preference for lore, I think the Demonkin is a good race to start with.
...I'm not picking it because I'm one.
>_>

<_<
Totally not.
Title: Re: Monster Hunter RTD : Discussion thread.
Post by: kilakan on September 13, 2012, 08:34:19 pm
yeah like I kinda was trying to get at, if in game they could produce maps like #2 that would be awesome.  Otherwise give us what you think THEY could give us.  Also, for Lore I would say Demonkin followed by Orcs.  I would like to know whether those two races are as hated and hunted as they are in other fantasy settings or whether its a bit more Elder Scrolls style; Everyone dislikes everyone but we can all live together... sometimes.

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.

I vote for orcs next, since our commander(?) is an orc, and he doesn't seem like an evil brutish monster thing. After that I'm torn between gnomes and foxfolk. Lizardman lore could probably be neglected forever, since we don't have any real lizard folk. We already got a lot of human lore from the demonkin lore, so I'm thinking that can be held off for a bit too.

"Fox-folk" is pretty lame. Humans with kitty ears, nyaa nyaa. Seems to be it. Gnomes are the cool shit right there. Proficient mages and capable of utilizing advanced mechanics and steampunk-esque tech? Hell yes!

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.

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.

Well...Er, alright, bro. They were considered unlucky in the feudal era Japan. I guess that they weren't CHAOTIC EVIL, but they weren't trying to help people. But. what do I know, compared to Tiruin, Great Foxlord? (It's said that a fox that has lived a hundred years can assume the shape of a person. It was said that, if you ran into a lone woman during dusk or night, she was a Kitsune, and would lead you to your death).

Half, but i cannot choose the WH40K orcs cause everyone in that damn universe is at war with eachother! The orcs are big,brutish and half stupid in there. Something that is the total opposite of Gol' Du, while he is strong hes a very intelligent orc with interests. I Doubt myself that a WH40k orc woul have any interests expect plundering, fighting and eating.

There's a mistake in my turn - Dharma didn't ask for alcohol directly. I was leaving it up to you whether Gol'Du misinterpreted that as something like "ask me if I want beer". The ignorant-of-what-beer-is Dharma might then agree to drink beer, not realizing it is alcoholic. Other than that, I am happy with using up some of my bad luck early on.

Oh. Well, I forgot it was taken. Well, My vote goes to Desert, because I'd rather wreck my hair than my entire body. And again, I don't think my electricity would help against Dragons.

Speaking of which, the reason I wanted to go into a game room in the first place was to test out my book by playing chess against myself using half real, half electric pieces.

OVERTHINKING TIME!

Actually, it might make more sense to throw more ranged units into the wide open desert and fewer into the dense forest.
Here's my suggested party split-up, in no particular order:
*Woods: Akabarashi/Caellath the fox acrobat, Arnok/Greenstarfanatic the electric wizard demonkin, and Silk/Ironyowl the spooky demonkin
*Desert: Khan/Kilakan the cannon orc, Gunmirius/Caerwyn the crosssbowing gnome, and Dharma/peglegpenguin/me the status inflicter (assuming I get some level of paralysis)

Akabarashi (fox guy) is acrobatic, so he'd be most likely to take advantage of a dense forest full of obstacles. As I've already stated, Khan (orc) and Gunmirius (gnome) could take down enemies from afar in the desert, but should be at a disadvantage in the woods. I wasn't entirely sure where to put the last three members. I figured each team could use a mage for healing magic, though an electric wizard might not be so good at healing magic. That would mean either I would be the last member of the desert team or Arnok would. Electricity produces light, and evil things tend to dislike light (not to mention that an electricity wizard could probably help illuminate things). He would also be the closest thing that team forest has to a ranger. That forces me into the desert team as their only prayer for healing spells. If I succeed in getting a semi-reliable paralysis spell, team desert might be able to flank/stall its enemies to death before they can get close enough to fight back. Chances are enemies will have their own ranged units, which would probably be our first targets. While the gnome and orc take out some ranged enemies, I'd try to paralyze the rest and keep the battles as one-sided as possible.

The downside is that enemies in the spooky woods might be immune to our spooky demonkin's spooky ability. Intimidate would make a great way to reduce encounters and slow enemies, and I'd hate to waste that. It would be even more useful in the desert anyway because of the larger enemy mobs and extended battles. We could throw Silk into team desert instead of Dharma, but then team desert would have to rely on what are obviously hp potions Gol'du gave us. Also, there might be an added advantage if Dharma's alchemy implies herblore, too. As in, Dharma might be able to collect herbs and make potions in the woods, and might even know what plants are dangerous. I'm really not sure what to do. What do you guys think?

I personally think as you initially suggest that me, gunmirius, and you in the desert would be the best combo for that location.  Of course we could do equally well in the mountainous area (except I might blow up near fire), but yeah I think the two more acrobatic guys and the lightening mage would do best in a place with more cover and perhaps liquid for electricity conduction?  That and also I think that an orc, and a lizard man would be the best to survive in an arid environment with little water and high heat as opposed to the more humanoid types.  There is also the fact that the desert is orc/goblin territory.  So say in the event we run outta water, at least me or Dharma could carry the Gnome until we find water, where as if we had a larger humanoid it would be a lot harder for the two people used to heat and sun to get the third less adapted to safety.

*edit  That and two demonkin with a poor little fox-man could lead to some hilarious stories.  Hehehe with two half-demons in one team, and a lizardman/orc in the other we could go by teams Black and Green :p

He would also be the closest thing that team forest has to a ranger.

Tatsuo's Fuuma can also be thrown and boomerangs back to the owner. So it does work as a ranged weapon.

Again, Arnok's book can be ranged as well. I think he would do well anywhere except the mountains. Just put him wherever you see fit.

Naw. Do what the mongols did; - They lived off of dried horse meat, camel milk, and horse blood.

And these buggers rode hundreds of miles across harsh terrain, slaughtering villages and assaulting castles.

"When the Mongols first entered a new land, they would locate the nearest village, and decimate it. No man, woman, child or animal would be left alive. The fields would be sowed with salt, houses burned to ruins, and the skulls piled up. As such, the surrounding villages were quick to pay tribute, if only to satiate the Mongol's depraved thirst."

@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.

I was persuaded by the lore.
You cannot beat Amaterasu. For the Sun Goddess! (Alright, Ikari is different but  :P)

Yeah they like them. They're good allies, provide excellent thiefs, marksmen and traders to the orcs! Also they often do things orcs are too bulky to do, like catching small creatues or selling orc wares. As orcs themselves can trade but not so well compared to the smooth talking goblins.

I posted an action too. I'm spending that turn dreaming.

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.))

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.

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.

http://www.quicktopic.com (http://www.quicktopic.com)

I would advise not to do this type of combat, both thru PMs and Quicktopic method...Not that efficient.

However, there is a known system of combat that would greatly speed up the game. Try looking at a good FG&RP game called You Are King (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=112907.msg3494836;topicseen#msg3494836) for the combat system if it is similar to yours. The link here is an example post with counter 1d6s to show.

God Speed.

Dang it. Anyone else want to kindly donate to the lizardman charity foundation? Every copper piece helps. I could try stealing the books with my high agility, but I get the feeling the magic one will be magically protected. If necessary, I should be able to steal the Turima one to save some money. Note that I can't exactly cast confusion without a spellbook, and that the ability to make faraway short-ranged enemies (sword goblins, spear goblins, ect) attack random units within their range (only our enemies) could be really useful.

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.

If so, I'm thinking I should spend my turn brewing some paralysis potions for Gunmirius's bolts and Khan's tusked boxing gloves. That should let us capture a sand witch alive and force her to translate the spell book. Because angering someone powerful and ancient is always a good idea.

In retrospect buying holy water, or at least garlic and some silver, might have been a good idea. Hopefully it won't be too late to get that kind of stuff. I don't think this specific vampire is going to hurt anyone in Team Spooky anytime soon, though. It's more likely that he has a common enemy with the Monster Hunters, and that he's under a temporary truce.

Aren't you a part of that team?

No actions? Nothing at all? Please don't tell me the players haven't abandoned this! The exception are Ceallath, Ironyowl and Greenstarfanatic ( Even though he ain't conversing with the vampire) which are ATM in talk mode.
One word.

Timezones. D:

I honestly have no idea what to do for my final turn before entering the desert.... guess searching for liquor and drinks is always a good past-time :p

I'm waiting to see what people have to say about the side quest to unlock an artifact of ancient power for an unusually kind stranger. It seems like a really good and safe idea, right? If people are having trouble coming up with turns, here are some suggestions:

*Gunmirius: Buy some better bolts. I'll give you my remaining cash if you want. You also have relatively good intelligence and a magic-gifted species. You could probably learn some simple spells easily enough. Maybe something that makes your bolts better, like an elemental enchantment you can activate right before launching them. Could also make them homing bolts, super-fast bolts, forceful bolts, ect. You also have the highest charisma of everyone in Team Desert by far. If you buy more bolts, you can try bartering for them and increase your bartering skill. Being able to buy stuff for cheap is nice.

*Khan: You might want to strengthen your gloves since...

Tusked-boar punching gloves! (Stabbing attack, unstable construction)
You can also practice fighting with them, or come up with a special attack that uses them. You could also try learning a simple spell.

*People at the vampire: Learn what the hell you're supposed to do. Do not anger the likely 1000+ year old vampire lord. Try not to poop your pants.

Thanks for the suggestion, but we're already doing our stuff, no pants-pooping.

Does anyone want to help me steal potion ingredients? I could use a distraction.

@peglegpengeuin: I advise you to bold your actions and then let the GM roll for them, hoping for the best.

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?

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 think we should follow this group of artifact hunters and when they lead us to something valuable incapacitate them and take it for ourselves.... that or work for them.  Of course a combination of the two could be nice.

"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.

I was under the impression that we were wasting another turn while waiting to get our monster-hunter mission. I'll change my action.

I hope you do realize that if you want to get a mission you have to go and get it? If it would have been a auto-granted mission you would have gotten it at the arrival story.

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?

Aye, i have mentioned 2 possible places in the story. But can always ask around for more.

Alright, I think I get it. We should mention we're Monster Hunters, right? Also, suggestion that lore on Monster Hunters be written.

DOUBLE POST

I didn't have any actions on my turn before, so I added an actual action.
