Recruitment and OOC: Investigators of the Odd (WoMF's Campaign)

That's not official so we're not using that, right?

I think that's... I dunno. Cardbo's guess of Sanity Points is probably it, though. And we're using all sorts of not-quite-official stuff here anyway, so why not Sanity Points?

In any event, Blackhawk's a cool character, a hippogriff, and you're not currently in a game, so you're in!

...actually, I don't have the patience to wait any longer, so everyone who's applied is in, and there will be no more applications. That gives us five people. That's a good size party, right?

Yes, Sanity Points. I don't think we're using them so but wanted to include them

1) Just in case we do
2) Just in case I want to use the character somewhere else.

I admit number 2 is incredibly lazy of me, I mean it's like six button presses but

EDIT: Okay then apparently we are using sanity points and I am last person pony being, neat!

Make the campaign and let's roll. ^^

But let's not use sanity points. I don't like that very much.

Will do ASAP. And yes, I can do without Sanity Points. I had honestly not thought of using them before they came up just now, so there's no huge loss in giving them up.

RP is up. https://ponytales.forumotion.com/t166-investigators-of-the-odd#4098

It should be fine. One of the moderators will probably notice and move it.

If I wanted to make a Perception check to size up the other players, and Mr. Unicorn-called-us-here, would you prefer one encompassing Perception roll or one for each individual being in the room?

Ms. Unicorn, first off, and one roll should do fine.

Yes, I am aware that the organization we are stepping into likely has ways of confirming Starlight's identity as non-changeling, but Blackhawk isn't.

Also: man, I walked right into that racial tension thing, didn't I? I mean, I knew it was going to probably come up, what with the huge hint bone I tossed for Warrior to pick up, but what I didn't expect was for you to pick it up, Quietkal.

Which isn't to say you should drop it or anything. Merely an off-hand comment about how I wasn't expecting that.

Is it too late for a new character to join? Because. I thought this one really did look nice, both in characters and plot. Unfortunately, since you just descended into the Luna Cave, a new character would probably have to already be a member, which might strain the plot atad.

If you make your character already a member of the Night Agents, I can actually fit you in very well. You can be the one experienced member the Agents can spare. That's all I've got that would work, unfortunately, but since you're not in a game yet and you asked nicely, I figured I'd offer.

Well, I imagine most griffins are like "whatevs" about hippogriffs, but Kal's kinda racist against everyone. Except griffins, they're super cool (except Gilda, what with that outburst in Ponyville).

I completely understand and quite agree; as I said before, it's not like I want you dropping the mini-plotline or anything. It's good, it's logical, it's just not what I was expecting.

Double post to make sure Warrior sees this:

I don't really blame you since it was in a spoiler but I believe you missed my Perception check. Either that or you're planning on PMing me the results since I'm the only one, logically, who should get access to that information.

But just in case it's the first one, have a post.

Thanks so much for this, but due to late-night exhaustion and the coffee wearing off, I can't get a character up for at least seven hours. I really hope this doesn't affect you.

At the very least, could you tell what kind of character? The race I mean.

I think a Minotaur would be cool because then we would have all the non-pony races and a Minotaur field commander just seems so... appropriate.

Anyway, feel free to disregard the above. It's your character and you're free to do with it whatever you want ^^

*shrug* I'm pretty sure I can delay your unveiling until you've actually made the character. For one thing, everyone gets to argue about which mission they'd prefer for a while. XD

I was going to plump for Minotaur in any case. I just love them so.


Basics- mid-hight, stocky build, especially legs, wears the standard uniform, and is LOUD.


And now I must go, or spend a second night running asleep on the keyboard. Ta!



Edit: bah, can't find any decent Minotaur utility talents. Guess I'll make do with the Everypony ones.

Sorry so much for double-posting, but the "Edit" button isn't working. Here's a draft of my character.

Barabus Thorn

There aren't any Minotaur utility talents yet. Kind of what makes people more likely to create a pony character because those have more options

And you need to change the settings on that google docs so that everyone with the link can access it. That can be changed when clicking the share button. Because right now, it's still set on private and we can't see it.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the heads up.

Not my decision of course, but I'm all for this. From what I can tell, it's Appkes' first time, and it's mine too, so this campaign will get us some experience.

Barabus is in! I like him! But you might want to figure out his second Freaky Knowledge boost; all I see is Intimidation.

Appkes wrote:Oh, okay. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks good but there's something missing: Freaky Knowledge gives you 2 fields of expertise and you've only included 1 (Intimidation)

But I do like the idea of a Minotaur being trained in stealth ^^

@ The Warrior of Many Faces:

I'm switching Dextor's training from Persuasion to Streetsmarts and I'm also changing The Stare to Derp.
Because it seems all my characters are heavily Persuasion based and I'd like to try something different.
It also fits the idea better of Dextor having a lot of potential but due to being young, not yet certain how to access said potential ^^

(Originally, I was going to take Brew Potion but there's no official version of that yet with any specifications.

Spoiler:

So I'm sticking with official talents for convenience sake
