LL - A World of Monsters (We are...wait for it...no longer recruiting!)

You get better characters that way. Without the competition, all anyone really thinks about is balancing a team. I happen to think a party of interesting, well developed characters is more fun to play with than {healer, tank, multihit, Nuke} and {Persuasion expert, Athletics Expert, Magecraft guy}.

As we are talking about back stories, Alice's has been updated to include her new pet fairy-monster-thing Sunburst. I also want to thank APWr for coming up with the idea. 

One of my things got nerfed, fixing, and also working on my combat now. Still looking for plausible strategic suggestions.

And he's got a picture, too. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mgjvdyHN1_lQ-e-2HQVo80pi6iO5ReT12Kat0GITREY/edit#

EDIT: I guess he's done. Not the best build I've ever come up with, but trying to exploit vulnerability is harder than I thought.

That's fair.

*ahem* Wanted to remind everyone this was a thing. I think a person or two who had expressed interest did not, er, post characters, and

yeah

Yeah... I've kinda been procrastinating/feeling down, so I haven't really been working on much. I may have to take you up on that PM build discussion...

Well, I'm a bit tired tonight, but we can do that tomorrow if you like?

Well, the OP Post said we have until Friday, and I've been busy as of late, so I'll try to get my character done on Thursday...

Ok, now Leopold is Officially done- added a bit of Combat Talent Flavor, changed the picture a bit, and most importantly, added the three Extra Racial Trait lists, representing three of his alternate personalities.

Meet Boragorn the Scholar...

I went with the scholar over the ranger because what I had in mind was too experienced for someone who just started. Currently he contains some things from my combat expansion, which I felt was okay since you gave someone else the thumbs up, but if not I can change it. Will add more flavour (since he won't actually summon a giant iron golem in game) when I get around to it...

Looks good, both of you.

I want to reiterate that the Talent Specialization Documents are being used in this game at the request of Marona. If you don't feel like adding anything to your character right now for any reason, that's fine! Just...be aware for the future's sake.

The document in question can be found here!

It's gonna be hard to judge all these great characters

Don't fret. You can do it. Nicorette can help! Or me, a clearly "impartial" party. =P

Okay, so after thoroughly combing the Talent Specialization document...





I've decided to hold on to the points until I can afford the True Sight Upgrade. So do we just add that we have the two talent points to use per day on our character sheets instead?

That would be easiest for everybody, I think, but you don't have to if you keep track of the points somewhere else.

<LE PO>

Final note! Though applications will stop being accepted at noon central time tomorrow, I may not have the final results up for an hour or six minimum. Worst case scenario, late-night shenanigans. Please have your character's background and most of their flavor done by then!

All right, so I finally got my character sheet finished except for the Virtue, which I'll choose after seeing what everyone else has. Meet Rixa the runaway-turned-hunter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JkxJOm0pmP29y8EBgN1BErda83LRnvgvwFa3a6C9cvQ/edit#

Alright, you've all waited long enough already.

Let's announce the winners!

Let me say in advance that this was a very tough decision for me -all of you came up with interesting powers, believable backstories, and most importantly, good characters! This is why (with their permission) I'll be placing the "losers" (For lack of a better term because everyone did such a good job) off to the side as potential replacements.

Okay, let's announce the winners for real - good job to everybody!

Regina Reid by Marona!
Thorix by Lapis Lazily!
Alice Wooler by mjh6!
Leopold DeHavilland by Bronymous!
Rixa by Dusk Raven!

Congrats to all the winners, and condolences otherwise - I hope someday all of you will get to enjoy this game, one way or another.

...as a side note, I would like to reiterate that in this world, you might have psychic powers, but nobody calls them psychic powers since they don't have a frame of reference. Instead, they call psychic powers "magic" and psychics "warlocks" (first time I've mentioned that detail. Though if you want to come up with your own names, that'll work too - just don't expect the rest of the world to follow unless you do some amazing things.

Anyway, game starts early (For me) Sunday, just to let people know ahead of time. Like, 9-10 am central time or so? Please have your characters completely done (last minute flavor-changes or attributions of TSPs, etc.) by then

>No magic, only Psychic abilities
>Psychic abilities are basically reflavoring for magic
>Also, no one calls them psychic powers, they call it magic

Soooooo.... it's magic.

I am excited. Can't wait to begin.

Gonna have to get up early for a Sunday( that's about 7 my time) but am too excited to care!

It doesn't matter, its a PbP. You get to it when you get to it.

Yeah basically.

I mean, if a lot of people are on and free things get going pretty fast and it's a lotta fun, don't get me wrong, but I don't, like, expect you to be there at the moment of the beginning looking for answers playing along for as long as you can or nothin'.

For example, if the game starts 10-11 Central, than it'll be 11-12 where I'm at. I'll probably be awake, and I'll probably not post until 5 pm anyway- partially because I like to be the last one in, partially so the DM learns his place because I like to be the last one in.
