Bay 12 Games Forum

Just watched season 11, and the teaser for 12.
MINDBLOWN


So who else still keeps up with this?

I keep losing track of what games I'm supposed to be posting actions in. I know I'm in Roll to go Mad and Kingspawn, but those are really the only two I can keep track of.

Could the GM's of any still active games I'm in post here? Please include a link to the OP as well, if you would

Also you guys can totally use this to help find what games you are in too, if you have the same problem.

This is a story about the struggle of the human race in a world populated by undead, lovecraftian horrors, maneating giants and other monsters.

Normally, a Dominions LP is a multiplayer affair, but for this I will be playing it single player (because PBEM games are slow as balls).
I WILL however, be taking both advice and roleplaying from the community.

The Rules:
1. Anyone can join the roleplay, and will be recruited as a general, mage or priest in the game. This works similar to being dorfed in a game of DF.

2. I'm planning to play quite a few turns between updates, probably standardized as a in-game year (possibly more if I get really bored).
This will be when a meeting is called between the god-rulers and their subjects (i.e. your time to give me advice, especially about what your character should be doing. Veteran opinions would be appreciated!)

3. I will only be playing as human races, which will be allied. I started with all non-cpu's to customize the other nations pretenders, but after the first turn they will be put under computer control. Similarly, you can only RP with a unit from one of the four played races.

4. All the human races will have human pretenders, no manticores or things like that. Ulm has a Vampire Queen, but she WAS human so it still counts



Ermor: Once a Great Human Empire, the mages of Ermor unleashed death upon the world, and now the legions rise again as undead. Easily the biggest threat to humanity in the world.

They are commanded by Jinnud, The Prince of Death


R'lyeh: A underwater nation of alien beings, the Starspawn of R'lyeh have used their mental supremacy to conquer and control all other denizens of the sea, now they seek to cast the world into the Void their sleeping god dreams of.
Pretender to be revealed when it awakens

Gath: A nation of giants descended from fallen angels, the Gath and their ancestors have spent their days living in decadence on the labor of human slaves, going so far as to eat them as a delicacy.

The Gath are led by the last remaining Nephilim (and recreational nudist) Beal


Abysia: A race descended from magical molten rock, the Abysians have since diluted their magmatic ancestry by cross-breeding with humans. They use the blood of mankind to fuel their magic arts.

The Abysians have shown their corruption in their worship of Oriax the Moloch



Fear not, sons and daughters of humanity, for their yet remain nations that fight these evils!

Ulm: A nation in decline, Ulm was the progenitor of the secrets of Blacksteel, a incredibly resilient material. In the past age, this gave them considerable military advantage, however their priests, in a fervor to oppose magic in the realm, have lost the recipe.

Marignon: Experts in hunting out witchcraft and spreading their faith, Marignon uses Heavily armed and armored units. They have developed fine shipbuilding skills and can sail across any body of water with ease. The mages of Marignon use Blood Magic to appease Infernal threats.

Bogarus: A nation formed of many warring Princedoms, Bogarus has united to bring justice to those who threaten humanity. Using light infantry and well equipped horse-archers alongside a multitude of powerful wizards, they form a vanguard against evil.

Men of Chelms: Formed when humans conquered the wilds of the Sidhe, the Men of Chelms have a long history of crushing those who threaten mankind. They utilize powerful Wardens trained with both greatsword and crossbow, and utilize many powers of the wild groves of Avalon.

Leading these forces are the God-Kings. Four mighty wizards with the powers of a God each, they have assumed command of each land and lead them ever forward against the hordes of evil.

From Ulm comes Leda, a powerful sorceress who has sealed her powers in blood, rising again as a vampiress dedicated to the destruction of all other hunters.


The Forests of Man send Parchopon, the Arch Druid, master of the natural world


The Arch Mage Leric hails from Marignon, and will cleanse evil in fire


Bogarus claims Denethia, the Great Enchantress who will shine the way for mankind to prosper


These four, and the nations they represent, have allied to destroy the plagues. Now is your time to join them!

Discuss.

So I had downloaded Skyrim Unbound due to a mod that borked the traditional start, and then I downloaded Frostfall, the mod which adds exposure, hypothermia all that jazz. So I thought, what would happen if I started in The Chill with Frostfall active?

The Chill, for those who don't know, is a prison, and I say that with no end of generosity. What The Chill really is, is a set of cells inside a glacier in the middle of The Sea of Ghosts- the coldest water in all Skyrim.

And today, you will see what happens when a person trys to escape from it.

FULL MOD LIST:
But before we start, I want input on a few things.
Firstly RACE!
What race should my character be? Take note that Frostfall's mechanics treat Frost Resist as a bonus to not freezing to death. So picking a Nord would just be too easy
Secondly GENDER!
I'll be honest, normally I don't play women, because I am a man and that's what I'm comfortable with but if you so choose then I will do so FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT. Note: I'm not using nudey mods you sicko!

Other issues:
Skyrim Unbound allows you to set certain options for starting. Namely whether you have the traditional Healing and Flames spells on start, and whether dragons start randomly active.
So yay or nay that as you will.

Other settings I'll be doing myself because theres just too damn many to name. Notably I'll be using a VERY hardcore Frostfall and Realistic Needs, so dying of exposure or dehydration will be issues, and the former will probably happen quite a bit
Also, fast travel? Dis-freaking-abled. So none of that.

You and your four friends from Austin St. John High are walking down the beach one day when you stumble upon a cave. Deciding to be adventurous, the leader of your little clique runs off into the cave, and the rest of you follow, not wanting them to get hurt or lost.

What you find inside will forever alter your destiny and mark you as defenders of your town and eventually your entire planet.


Current Players:

Spoiler: Clair Redfield (click to show/hide)

Chaos made flesh, Clair is most teachers worst nightmare as show by her detention record. Her passable grades along with no one getting hurt in her bouts of boredom is the only reason she hasn't been expelled yet. She on the student council and in the needlework club(don't ask her to make a doll for you unless you like having nightmares for weeks.).

Spoiler: Carl Anderson (click to show/hide)

Carl is a mechanically-inclined person. He's on the cool, pragmatic side. Carl doesn't make friends easily, but he does tend to try to stick with those he makes.

Spoiler: John Adams (click to show/hide)

John is calm, collected and down to earth, though a bit slow in thought. He likes playing sports and occasionally working out. He has a good amount of friends.

Spoiler: Anaio Sura (click to show/hide)

Anaio Sura is very reserved, very imaginative person. She has hazel-sunset eyes and a soft look on her face. She has light skin and freckles, is thin and average in height, and is extremely professional at parkour. She also enjoys drawing sometimes, but she never shares her stuff with other people. She sometimes wears her hair in a ponytail and sometimes lets it loose. She wears sneakers, a brown jacket, and jeans.

Spoiler: Bobby Fullbright (click to show/hide)

Bobby is a somewhat naïve young man who wants nothing more than to bring justice into this world. He's somewhat athletic, rather outgoing and loud. His decisionmaking sometimes strikes people as odd, as his only 'moral compass' is his own sense of JUSTICE, no matter what society might think of his actions.

Bobby is rather tall, has light brown hair and a clean shaven face. He most commonly wears boots, jeans, a polo shirt and a white track jacket. He almost always wears his trusty pair of sunglasses.

So just saw this on the Steam store and thought I would share.
Apparently we have 4 days till this hits us. Discuss in meantime.

Character sheet should look something like this:

Appearance: Self explanatory, please keep it human though.
Skillset: A generalized outlook on the type of character you are most comfortable playing.
No names for you!
