ST RPG: System vs. Factory - Rules and OOC Chat

[pulp_chicken]

Can I still alter my character's abilities? I wanna add some clothes and maybe picture.

Alas, I have to read through all of this to understand how this mafia game will be played.. o_O'

[Yummy Lingo]

wow....

can we kill our slaves...?

what does my item do...?

are health points of the same race different also...?

do we start out with the character ability we gave ....?

how do i calculate it during the game? will that be up to you?


awesome work here....
really meticulous....



i love where i'm put up, btw...

[Shin_Igami]

Ah, the loft. That makes sense. I don't see myself staying anywhere else.

So this thread is used for aimless chat and general game related spam, right? What exactly are we not supposed to post in the main thead? General conversations between characters could still influence the way game progresses.

On the loft: Meh, I wish i could say the same about my alleyway.

On this thread: Well, put simply, the point behind this thread, is to have the main thread read like a story. So anything that advances the plot actively, would be in the main thread. E.g. Technically speaking, even if it's not your action turn (e.g. your next action is dependent on how another character reacts), you can still make a post regarding say, whatever was happening in the nightclub at the same time, as long as it doesn't add anything to the action.
E.g.
__________________________________________________ _____
Post1, Location1, Action: A attempts to poison B's drink in a nightclub.

Post2, Location2, Action: C tries to run from monster.

(For whatever reason, Mort has yet to post results of actions, and you're itching to make a post)
Post3, Location1, Description: The DJ was inspired that night. The music blasting off the loud speakers had almost everybody on the dance floor. Would B fall for it?
__________________________________________________ _____

BTW, you don't have to specifically write "A tries to do this". It can be in the form
That was it. A could no longer take the noise. He picked up his phone and called the police."

However, since this is dice based, make sure you limit yourself to only one "action" at a time, and, if the action is "hidden" in some convoluted narrative, just put an extra line in the form
Action: A tries to do this.

That being said, what are the rules on Edit?

@Mort: I sure as hell hope the vamp ability is hard to unlock. Everybody is drooling all over this slave thing... oh, this may have been asked before, but... can a vamp charm another vamp?

LAWL. HALP!!

Okay, I have to read thru of all dis. When do we start

[morten]

Out of curiosity, what's the dice roll of a hideout? (or more directly, what was my roll for living place?)

A hideout sounds pretty nifty.

It was your characters background and the dice. Lingo was luckiest with his old villa and Shin was very unlucky...

Can I still alter my character's abilities? I wanna add some clothes and maybe picture.

Till we ahave the last player found everything can still be changed...

wow....

can we kill our slaves...?

No... He has a part of your life in him... So you better watch out who you convert. It might come out a stronger enemy...

what does my item do...?

Everyones item is a secret... You will find out later...

are health points of the same race different also...?

No, every species has 100% health (100 points). But the abilities and attributes make the difference...

do we start out with the character ability we gave ....?

Yes...

how do i calculate it during the game? will that be up to you?

You post your action and I will calculate it with the dice...[/QUOTE]

That's why I'm glad you joined... (:
You have to show the others how it'll be done. I want you as the first poster...

That being said, what are the rules on Edit?

It's just random background info that I picked up from the discussion thread...
Reading through is propably enough to understand the basics. Everything other will be easily picked up during the game...

@Mort: I sure as hell hope the vamp ability is hard to unlock. Everybody is drooling all over this slave thing... oh, this may have been asked before, but... can a vamp charm another vamp?

Sure is... You first have to collect info about your special ability before you can find someone who will give you quest to achive it...
My biggest fear is that you all become pretty over-pwered later in the game...

I will reply tomorrow again. I caught up an influenca and have to go to bed now...
You can discuss on your own about open questions and what rules you would like to add for sure... I'm back tomorrow to answer again...

Btw, if we don't get a last player till tomorrow, I'm gonna ask Spurgu to do the Ogre or DNA if he wants to play a dwarf. It would be perfect if we could get three last players who will take over the roles of Ogre, Gnome and Dwarf, since their special abilities can be very important for teamplay too...

[BlueDemon]

Again,good job on these things man xD
And a good recovery ^^

On the item thingy I asked in the other thread : I guess I know it now ^^

Can´t wait for the game to start...Btw,every action of ours has to be decided by your dice,doesn´t it?

Didn't Issalroc and Kolox showed 'some' interest in the game before?
Oh, I saw some other people in the OT are also interested...

On the alleyway: T_T
On the vamp ability: Heh, that's a nice hidden cost. XD.
On me joining: UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU!!! (Too lazy to look for a pic). As a sidenote, i tend to sit on rules too much, bottom line is, everybody is free to play the way they want. Anything that's fine with the GM = Fine. The only reason why I advocate narratives is because it gets pretty boring if all you read is
1. Attack with steal pipe
2. Success!! One hit kill. One more monster appears.
3. Attack with gun, before monster closes in.
4. Fail, you miss, monster closes in.
5. Attack with steal pipe
6. Epic Win!! You smash his skull, and a gun pops out as the corpse collapses.
But nothing really keeps you from doing this.

[Stuyvesant]

Any final word on the last player? Popo joining us?

[kniteowl]

Kool I got me a Fortess?

Hey Morten am I allowed to activiate my ability forever? So I can only get Either Epic Win or Epic Fail?
