A flash of light, sounds of shattering glass and crackling flame, and a feeling of concussed weightlessness as the world goes dark. Mondays, amirite? Somewhere in another Europe, many years from now, a humble passenger airship has crashed; its cargo of merchants, transients, scavengers, and hopeful colonists is dumped unceremoniously on unfamiliar ground. You, dear player, are among them. Lift yourself from the rubble, and carve your place in the world! Or just mess about and shoot things, I suppose. The world setting is unnecessarily complex and has no small degree of nebulousness. Thus, I will attempt to present it in a simple summary sort of format: Setting: The setting is a mixed up sort of semi-post-apocalypse world. I will be unabashedly, and perhaps incompetently, mashing together elements of Stalker, Warhammer, various faerie tales, and whatever else catches my attention at the time. Technology can be anywhere between swords and walking laser-tanks, depending on who you're dealing with. Environment: I am horrible with maps. This is a fact. However, I will try my darndest to represent the game world through text, which is a sort of truncated Earth that intersects with scenic hell dimensions and is peppered with places that distort reality, biology, and common sense. It is suggested that you know what you're getting into before running about in unknown territory, though I'll probably find some way of being unrealistically forgiving as a GM. I always do. Factions: Three major groups will be in play over the course of the game, potentially with smaller, more secretive, or locally based groups going in and out of focus. They are the New British Empire (more awesome name pending), the Federated States of Europe, and the Russo-American Coalition (wouldn't you know it, no more arctic sea!). The first is Imperium-esque with high technology, the second is the most varied in terms of both technology and mindset, and the third has little political organization or influence, but a combination of camaraderie (see: alcohol), determination (as above), and hardiness (say it with me now!) keeps their people strong. Magic: The average person doesn't know much about it, save for the wisdom of old stories (feel free to improvise from fiction, so long as you put thinking into it). Some undead hate mirrors, others hate light, or fire. Magic and iron don't mix. Demons and the like can be trapped in mazes, patterns, and puzzles. On the other hand, applied wizardry all comes down to will, wisdom, and chutzpah. Just try to be clever, logical, and don't expect to shoot fire from your eyeballs. Religion: I'll be avoiding this like the Blue Plague (you'll be able to roll for knowledge on that when the game starts, if you like). Don't expect any gods coming to your aid, or real world religions having any sway in this world. That's most of it written down. Now, it's late, so I'm off to bed. Feel free to ask any questions you like, and I may try for a IRC questions session tomorrow at around 4 or 5:30 PM EST. Game mechanics will probably be based on good ol' D'neering d20 rolls. I'll have character creation guidelines up, schoolwork and procrastination permitting, within a week. Ta-ta for now!

It should be noted that seeing a birds eye view of the battlefield makes it much, much, much harder to aim a gun than just peering around.

In my town, in Middle school at least, anyone who said 'okay, why not' got into those. It's an art show, not an art gallery. But hey, maybe you did well and I'm just making assumptions.

Everyone is right, discussion over, stop arguing you useless ninny.

Avatar was heavily inspired by multiple aspects of multiple different cultures and time periods (accurately), and has been translated to numerous other languages (well), the first series was made as a children's show that didn't pain adults to watch with their kids, and the second drew largely upon the periphery demographic of everyone in between. That said, yes, it was made by Americans, and yes, it's visual style is anime-esque. I would say- as can be said of many things with varying degrees of objective accuracy- I don't think Avatar is fit to be pigeonholed into any given demographic or genre. I suggest we call Avatar 'Avatar' and leave it at that... It seems like a reasonable compromise in this generally pointless argument.

Not everything is a reference, Iey Though now that you mention it, the phrase might have carried over from my childhood... It's about 50/50

I despise you with the intensity of a thousand suns, Mather

I'll be finishing up my character for Sunday, I don't think we can grab level 5 spells yet, but if we can I'll probably nab Summon Monster V.

Somehow you manage to ruin everything you touch Glad you like it, though

And yet, you deign to watch sparkly girly porn. I guess there are some things I'll just never understand. @Lei: If you have the patience and requisite upper body strength, you could read The Way of Kings. Pretty much anything by Brandon Sanderson is good, really.
-
You clearly need more GAR in your diet. Go watch Gurren Lagann, like a man.

Huh... That's not a small list... Dear god some of the stuff on it, though... I mean really, I expected better of you. You won't watch Gurren Lagann, but you'll watch that demi-pornographic drivel? I'm pretty sure one of those is actual porn, as well...

How blatant is the parody? Because apart from that it's perfect. I actually woke up 10 hours ago but went back to sleep because I saw no point in going to school if I was going to be a zombie. What do you mean? It doesn't seem to parody anything in particular, it just has a bunch of general semi-self-aware silliness. If you're asking whether it's comparable to Index, it isn't. Simpler, less serious, and in a twisted sort of way manages to make a bit more sense. At least, to my mind.
-
Assuming you wake up one day, you should watch Okamisan, Mather. Aside from anything else, it's narrated by Kuroko's voice actor from Index. On a separate (but also weeabootastic) note: Maybe this will help you sleep.
-
Don't be silly, obviously Mather would just turn the insides of his lungs into a four-dimensional space that allows him to survive in airless atmospheres WITH HIS MIND
