Arty continues on his way to the city of masks, ax in one hand and wand in the other. (Hmm a 1 kilo tonne anti matter bomb would release roughly 3.6E29 joules of energy (if I did my math correctly))

Do you plan to continue characters or make a whole new setting?

Arty holds the wand and continues on his way.

Ah yes sorry. Arty warily continues on his way to the city of masks whilst attempting to create a wand of fireballs.

Want to tell them how I murdered half the cast of super mario brothers?

Guess I'll take the demo man class. A possible plan of attack would be for a person on the team (possibly the smooth talker) to get a job at the bank and scout around for the locations of phone lines (and if there are metal detectors in the bank) as well as the location of the vault. We would then have the phone lines cut or otherwise disabled to prevent them for calling for help. Now we could do the general smash and grab robbery or we could do a movie esque heist (it really depends upon how the group wants to do it). Though I would advise the heist if the vault isn't heavily guarded and we can get an accurate floor plan.

Depending upon what the groups want I could be either the Demo man or "Heavy weapons guy" (note for demo man I would just be working with explosives to aid in the opening of the vault doors). Question: What is the composition of the guards in the facility?

So... How 'bout civ 5? Or any other games which people happen to be playing.

It's like nature magic on steroids but far more unpredictable (he can choose the general effect he wants but other than that it's random) though I would be worried if he threatened to kill you with his bear hands.

Character Name: Orlor Lyad Description: A tall barrel chested humanoid with brown hair ,blue eyes and a mountain man beard, Orlor is heavily weathered from many years spent out in the elements. His skin is of the texture and consistency of leather and his matted body hair provides extra protection from the elements. He favors old clothes with a more "natural" (used) feel towards them and enjoys listening and long walks on the beach. Backstory: Orlor was once content to live out in what remaining back country there is away from the influence of society and to the accords of the natural balance of things for most of his life. This all changed when he realized that he had not fulfilled the biological imperative (and part of the natural order of things). To rectify the situation he looked far and wide throughout his mountain home before realizing that with no human females his ability to procure an offspring was sadly limited. Thusly he moved back towards the civilization to find a mate. Needless to say the time spent away from humans had not helped his social skills and he did not succeed. In fact the best one could say is that he did not get convicted of any crimes during that time period. Throughout said period he noticed one pattern that just kept popping up! It was that the other males with more shiny things seemed to have a better chance at finding a mate than he did (note Orlor is not all too bright). Armed with this new knowledge he went out to procure as many shiny things as possible and after an unfortunate first encounter with alcohol (and recreational drug use) ended up in the HUB. Weapon: His trusty knife Armor: Leather shirt and trousers Skills: 0.5 Filipino knife fighting 0.5 wild magic (NOTE: THE ACTIONS OF ORLOR LYAD ARE TOTALLY FICTIONAL AND IN NO WAY REPRESENT THE IDEAS OR LEANINGS OF TIP.IT OR THE USER GRIM_) Will this work?

Well if you want to do a video game type rpg with mid to high level talking could I make a suggestion? Have social interactions either done in Irc or Pms to speed up the pace of the game. The whole playing as a hero of a video game does sound awesome though.

The red dot as in the city type of map or something I am completely unaware of?

That might actually work! (I was going to suggest the middle east and india/south east asia but w/e) Would anyone be willing to mod this (well if anyone else is interested)?

Fine by me (That was essentially a filler post) so I am 1/5 of the way to the city of masks?

Arty continues on his way warily watching the worrying woods with a wayward hand within distance of his wanton ax.

(Hex just give him a chance, also if you want a backstory ask him [in PM] about the world and make a general one for yourself) Arty Tosses the burning stick away and continues down the road.

Arty moves off to the so called city of masks attempting to imbude one of the wands to create a wand of fireballs as he goes.

I think it would be better to do both (we use irc when we only have one or two people playing else it becomes too hectic, that and the fact that fura cannot use irc).

Well we could use the non IRC method (forums) so we can accommodate more players (and to give an easier log) but in the end it is up to earth.

Are you ready to do a test session earth? If so what channel would you be using? #RP?

He's on the eastern timezone.

Well is necromancy just the control of the undead or does it also cover some debilitation effects (debuffs, knockouts, etc.)? Also earth I'm assuming the reason I am starting with two skill points is that A) the over arching skill is really [bleep]ing rare B ) It trains relatively quickly so it doesn't really matter or C) some other reason that I have not thought of as of yet.

How's the modding potential for Civ V anyways? I have managed to... acquire a copy of Civ V (I bought civ IV though) and it seems to be quite a bit easier for me than Civ IV (with less mods). Also what are people's opinions of Civ V?

Earth how loosely will "finding a use for the item" be construed? Would selling the item count as finding a use for it (and or getting the xp when it was used). Also are you going to homebrew a setting or just find one on the net (either should be fine [well a homebrewed setting prevents a certain amount of metagaming, but a setting found on the net allows for more focus on the characters and less on world gen])

I see that I fall somewhere between the sane and the insane camps on those lists B) In any rate I would be willing to host the mage punk hegemony if anyone other than ross and rocco is interested (again the actual world should probably be earth but with the use of magic from ley lines or blood sacrifice instead of technology]) Also arch I occasionally read your posts (well in a hegemony game) because I find if I don't... bad things happen. EDIT: Oh and I managed to find a D&D group in my area (both 3.5 and 4e)
