dwarfs maybe

[01:02] <Editanon> use a fortress generation, map population history an all, for a foundation of the campign
[01:03] <Kroked> oooh
[01:03] <Frederick> interesting...
[01:03] <Kroked> that's actually not a bad idea
[01:03] <Editanon> thatd take care of a huge chunk of work right there
[01:03] <Kroked> also Frederick did you get my answer?
[01:03] <Frederick> yeah.
[01:04] <Kroked> cool
[01:04] <Frederick> I honestly don't know what I want in a system.
[01:04] <Kroked> well, what are some basic fatures you'd like?
[01:04] <Kroked> *features fuck
[01:05] <Editanon> mmm fatures
[01:06] <Frederick> Depends on the campaign setting I have in mind.
[01:06] <Kroked> that is a pretty big thing yar
[01:06] <Frederick> Here's the 3 settings I have in mind.
[01:07] <Frederick> Floating continents over a floating wasteland
[01:08] <Frederick> A setting that's basically a clone of FFTA's Ivalice, job system and all.
[01:08] <Editanon> neat
[01:08] <Frederick> And last but not least, a post apocalyptic wasteland where the only surviving means of transport is the railways.
[01:09] <Kroked> second one is definitly a dnd thing
[01:09] <Kroked> first and second depend
[01:09] <Editanon> and the trains transofrm and do battle on the tracks at highspeed?!!
[01:09] <Editanon> all while western music is bumpin
[01:09] <Frederick> No, but you'd have raiders.
[01:09] <Kroked> dor the first, whats the general mood and power level you're looking for
[01:09] <Editanon> aww
[01:11] <Frederick> Saccharine and quadratic.
[01:11] <Editanon> fruit and math?
[01:11] <Kroked> ... in english?
[01:12] <Editanon> dont use big words! brain hurts!
[01:12] <Editanon> oh i was close,  excessively sweet or sentimental.
[01:14] <Kroked> hoom
[01:22] * Smutty (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-n6uhpu.bchsia.telus.net) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[01:23] <NekoPanzer> He hoomed Smutty right out of the room. Great.
[01:24] <Editanon> hoom is very powerful
[01:25] <Editanon> alrighty questions time
[01:26] <Kroked> shoot
[01:27] <Editanon> (both these will be long and go till its finished or dies)would ya want a defined end badie, or a way to play out a roll from one generation to the next
[01:27] <Editanon> badguy vs free ish
[01:27] <Kroked> either sounds neta
[01:27] <Kroked> *neat
[01:28] <Editanon> fred, pleb, anyone else thats stil lawake?
[01:28] <NekoPanzer> I'm not sure I comprende your question.
[01:29] <Editanon> setting for a campign, first has an end goal of killing x badguy, second has an end goal you make up, be it lead a nation, go find treasure, or look for a badguy anyways
[01:29] <NekoPanzer> Kill badguy.
[01:30] <NekoPanzer> By any and all means. As long as you do it somehow.
[01:30] <NekoPanzer> Grind your cooking skills and prepare a meal so delicious his body can't handle it.
[01:31] <Editanon> ha ill keep that one in mind
[01:31] <Editanon> next up, npc involvment, light heavy mix?
[01:32] <Kroked> i think it should be whatever comes our way
[01:32] <Kroked> just kinda whatever happens happens
[01:32] <NekoPanzer> Light.
[01:32] <Kroked> kinda like you weren't supposed to originallys till have nate in seekers :U
[01:34] <NekoPanzer> That's almost as good as being a player.
[01:34] <Editanon> next up players, everyone working towards the same goal, or everyone working on their own thing eventually maybe contributing to the big thing
[01:35] <Kroked> i think we should be working towards the same goal, whether they KNOW or not is a different matter
[01:39] <Editanon> and finaly 'fun' how would you feel having a player be incontrol of a badguy(high ranking or lower doesnt matter) someone who is activly working against the main group who either has acess to trops or fights them himself
[01:39] <Editanon> their goals will be to flat out kill the main, or damage the world and people around them enough to make their goal unatanable
[01:39] <Kroked> i'd be totally ok with it, as long as the others would be, and the bad guy doesnt get sour when he more than likely loses
[01:40] <Frederick> It's all about showmanship.
[01:40] <Editanon> bad player also wouldnt be main badguy, and would either take orders from main badguy or be a seperate faction, theives rebles goblins ect
[01:41] <Frederick> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy2zB8bLSpk&wadsworth=1
[01:42] <Kroked> im totally ok with that
[01:43] <Editanon> so at any time i could slap around the bad player if their being stupid or whiny
[01:43] <Editanon> yesss
[01:43] <Editanon> the powahhhhh
[01:43] <Kroked> XD
[01:43] <Frederick> what kind of setting do you have in mind, Editanon ?
[01:43] <Editanon> litterally gonna throw ya into a dwarfort map, from their iv got a couple ideas
[01:44] <Frederick> just make sure you print out the map really big.
[01:45] <Editanon> either go around an find an original party of six who are now leaders or off on their own. an ancient evil has awaken.jpg and the original have keys or whatever to get down into hell to kill it
[01:45] <Editanon> or stick players mid war and let them settle things
[01:45] <Editanon> or somethin else idk
[01:45] <Kroked> Editanon: I suggest learning DnD 3.5 or Pathfinder than if you're doing thta
[01:46] <Kroked> Anima isn't exactly easy when it comes to different races
[01:46] <Kroked> and stuff
[01:46] <Editanon> i donno, dwarfs can do some crazy shit, like ride their babies into battle like surfboards and such
[01:46] <Editanon> and i have an idea for races maybe..
[01:47] <Editanon> forinstance, dwarf race unlocked, all atheletic abilties are halfed, +bit oh hp, -other shit
[01:47] <Kroked> im just saying, races are a rather biggish thing in anima, it can cause them to be either extremely powerful, or crippilingly underpowered
[01:47] <Editanon> lots of tweeking but i think i could do it
[01:48] <Kroked> because Level adjustments
[01:48] <Frederick> Dwarf Fortress has all the standard tolkien races, right?
[01:48] <Editanon> yup
[01:48] <Kroked> it does,
[01:48] <Kroked> which is why i suggested dnd
[01:48] <Kroked> or path
[01:48] <Kroked> which has stuff for all of them
[01:48] <Kroked> and goblins and kobolds and orcs
[01:48] <Editanon> yup yup
[01:48] <Frederick> what's the power level in Dwarf Fort, Editanon?
[01:49] <Editanon> a berzerk dwarf of citizen level can easily destroy a squad of 10 or less goblins or evil races barehanded
[01:49] <Editanon> a fully equiped and trained dwarf can take on 3-5 without a problem
[01:50] <Frederick> how do all the dwarf fort races work again?
[01:50] <Editanon> said dwarf when enters a martial trance can take down dragons and titans with ease
[01:50] <Editanon> elfs are smelly tree huggers that are only good for robbing from and spies, humans are creative and like to swarm with numbers, the races of evil vary but there almost all assholes
[01:51] <Editanon> and dwarfs are normaly small numbers of badass's
[01:51] <Kroked> ...yeah edit, dnd 3.5 or path is DEFINITLY what you want. i know you'd rather not learn a new game, but hell, ill help best i can
[01:52] <Editanon> prolly, idk, its all ideas right now
[01:52] <Kroked> right
[01:52] <Editanon> and really if its just races that are the hangup i can say just humans/sylvian ect
[01:53] <Kroked> its not just cretaing them, its like
[01:53] <Kroked> a Sylvain can lay waste to a normal human like they're nothing
[01:53] <Kroked> they are simply BETTER than they are
[01:53] <Editanon> ah i see, power difference
[01:53] <Kroked> yeah
[01:54] <Kroked> thats why everyone in anima generally plays humans
[01:54] <Editanon> alrighty will prolly be path or dnd then
[01:55] <Frederick> So how is it that the kingdom of Judas managed to wreck everyone's shit?
[01:56] <Editanon> donno
[01:56] <Frederick> Or was it Abel who slaughtered everyone in the old continent.
[01:57] <Kroked> Frederick: i said NORMAL
[01:57] <Frederick> Oh.
[01:57] <Frederick> So, Editanon. Is there magic and the like in Dwarf Fort?
[01:58] <Editanon> for the most part no
[01:58] <Editanon> necromancers do roam the world
[01:58] <Editanon> and certain creatures do spit fire or shoot things
[01:59] <Editanon> but no one is throwing lightning bolts at each other and such
[01:59] <Frederick> got it.
[01:59] <Frederick> You definitely don't want to use Anima then.
[01:59] <Editanon> so ill prolly limit it to just weapons/martialarts maybe ki
[02:00] <Editanon> ya path/dnd should take care of it
[02:01] <Editanon> though it is my thing an i can throw in whatever i want.. more notes to scribble
[02:01] <Kroked> well you're just basing it off the lore right? so adding like, magic, wouldnt be too big a problem
[02:01] <Editanon> ^
[02:01] <Kroked> especially if you mad users rare and  abig deal
[02:01] <Kroked> XD
[02:04] <Frederick> I want to make an elf character who was raised by dorfs.
[02:05] <Editanon> you would be either a slave or a pet
[02:05] <Editanon> or both
[02:06] <Kroked> Editanon: dont forget the story of the elf kind og the dwarfs
[02:06] <Kroked> that was a thing
[02:06] <Editanon> nope never happened
[02:06] <Kroked> *elf king
[02:06] <Kroked> pffffft
[02:06] <Editanon> it was just a very tall dwarf
[02:06] <Frederick> elf king of the dwarfs?
[02:06] <Editanon> yup
[02:06] <Frederick> Well then, can I be a "Very tall dwarf"?
[02:06] <Editanon> ha
[02:07] <Kroked> Frederick: yeah the story is basically, this elf had his settlement conquered by dwarfs when he was young, he grew up got married, than wild elfs attacked and killed an ate his wife
[02:07] <Kroked> he than joined the dwarf guard, not long after the dwarf king died, and this elf was named king of the dwarfs after him
[02:07] <Kroked> and he warred with the elves for his entire life
[02:08] <Frederick> wait wait wait
[02:08] <Frederick> killed and ate?
[02:08] <Editanon> some elven tribes are indeed canibals
[02:08] <Editanon> more goblin like then elf
[02:10] <Kroked> yep
[02:15] <Editanon> and notes scribbled
[02:15] <Editanon> race: foreman, civi, militar, freelancer
[02:16] <Editanon> forman would run or mostly run a city/fort and go out to gather materials or kill stuff with a small npc party
[02:16] <Editanon> civi would be lead around by foremans or be shop workers or miners
[02:17] <Editanon> mili would be guards or town watch/defence
[02:17] <Editanon> freelance would be whatever the hell
[02:17] <Editanon> fun fun
[02:17] <Editanon> now im a try an take a nap.. again
[02:18] <NekoPanzer> Good luck and good night.
