Marishia Q&A

blake · Post by **blake** » Sun May 15, 2005 11:37 am

Even though there is a complete lack of post in the other threads I thought I'd start this one as a general FAQ and Q&A to answer any questions. I'll be the DM and I just wanted to know the opinions of the players on some subjects.

Do yall want this to be heavily combat influenced or more of a general RP? Because I can create stat sheets and everything but that can be tedious and I prefer a good roleplay, there will still be dice rolling for important events but I would like to shy away from it for the most part. Any opinions on what should be done, or what shouldn't will be greatly appreciated. Actually, any post what so ever will be appreciated.

hi. i'm real sorry for my lack of posting the last days. Havent had access to a computer.

another problem, is that my posting will be limited in the following period of time, becouse i'm using my mothers computer, and she wont let me borrow it often.

as for your question, i'l like it to be more RP than combat... And turn based. almost as a board story. You as the DM, may post whenever you want, and so can the players, but wait up for the players. if a player is away for some time, the game will have to wait for tht player, if you catch my point...!?

Ok, I wanted to do it mostly story, and that seems to be the general concensus. Since it will be mainly story I request that you have your characters background documented. In the Geography thread is where I would like you to post your background, strengths, weaknesses, so on and so on.

Sorry about the lack of posting, I went to see Nine Inch Nails last night, and then came down with a horrendous stomch virus. I'll start posting again as soon as possible.

That's quite alright. NIN is a good reason to miss out. How was the show?

blake · Post by **blake** » Thu May 26, 2005 5:57 pm

One of the greatest shows I've ever seen. evem with my stomach pains. The played a good mix of pretty hate machine, downward spiral, and with teeth. Not that much of fragility though... Uh well. It was still great.

I have reappered Magrus and Friends, I am in a better mood than I have been in the past three weeks.

Welcome back man.

Great, well post your characters bio and everything and then make an appearance in the story thread.

Darth, What are your characters weaknesses?

Darth Zenemij · Post by **Darth Zenemij** » Fri May 27, 2005 3:52 pm

My characters weaknesses are like light sided stuff like people being nice and offering help. Ocassioanly he will just break down beacuse of guilt and loss of his love, Bethany.

Alright, sounds good, so hes the evil one. Sounds good. If you could fill out your biography a little more I would appreciate it. It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of your characters story, but I need it to know how to best cater the story to your characters and others personalities. Also, watch your characters abilities, but it is a game. It is fine if you discuss things like the Peddler under a spell and the Old man with me, but I make the game and you play it. You can't decide on your own that those tow ere under your control. If that were the case what is to keep you from overriding the dice rolls in combat or feat rolls when you attempt something. Please if you are going to do something that will drastically change the quest and npcs talk to me first. I hope that was clear, if not I can try to explain more clearly.

I was hoping that you would take it to where you would say something like you were pretending to be under a spell. And my charecters level is only about 5 and he has done good to be level 5 beacuse Arcane trainging would really permit 30-35 year olds to be level 5. The ancient Evil I spoke about earlier were only about level 20 at the very max.

Alright, good. I just didnt want you to start god moding. lol. Sorry for the misunderstanding. So kind of above an apprentice. Seems fair to me, and he is weak to acts of kindness and generosity.

Darth Zenemij · Post by **Darth Zenemij** » Fri May 27, 2005 4:25 pm

Guilt and horrible visions of the ancient evils disturb his mind also.

Darth Zenemij · Post by **Darth Zenemij** » Fri May 27, 2005 4:26 pm

By the way, would you bite the hand that feeds, would you chew until it bleeds? I was listening to that, now I'm listening to down in it.

blake · Post by **blake** » Fri May 27, 2005 4:27 pm

Yeah, great stuff. It was a moving show.
