Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding [Full]
Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding
The radio crackles away in the corner, the host droning on about the royal wedding as the cafe's patrons gossip about the arrival of the groom's sister and her friends from the country.
You find yourselves in a small, central Canterlot cafe, just on the side of the ever-bustling Sun Plaza Market. It's the day of the wedding, and the procession has just entered the royal palace. Perhaps you were just out watching the procession and you've retired to here to listen to the wedding on the radio, or perhaps you're here on business and just taking a break from the hubbub surrounding this whole royal wedding business, either way, today will be a day to remember.
And the wedding is only the beginning.
---
Welcome to Friendship is Wuxia! I've been meaning to start up this game for a while, with a few players who have been sitting there roped in for a while now.
So welcome to A Canter-Kong Wedding! I'm looking for anywhere between three and six characters for this campaign that will span time and space in a crosstime croup-kicking adventure!
Character Creation:
Characters should be 1st level, and should be from canon races that would be permitted in Canterlot during the Royal Wedding.
The Combat System will not be in use. Instead, the custom Mashu system (adapted from the Wushu open RPG) system will be used for combat.
Magecraft is unavailable. Instead, Arcana directly governs manipulation of your existing utility talents.
Afflictions are in play.
Players:
LoganAura - Uncle - Had a stint in Jackie Chan Adventures and Magic Duel.
Kenzamaka - La Viento - Plagued by questions of how he types with hooves, and whether he takes his mask off to sleep.
Conantheghost - Custard Marsh - Would probably have JRPG protagonist hair if he weren't a pony.
Curunir - Cast Dice - Wears four lucky horseshoes and once swallowed a loaded die.
Linear Analysis - Plowclaw - To his chagrin, the Bureau of Equestrian Names never has time for a griffon.
Lapis-Lazily - Whispersong - You'd be surprised how high a pony can jump when you neigh in their ear.

Afflictions are in play.
- Mashu:
- In the Mashu system, non-combat abilities are instead used for combat.
Each round, characters describe a number of actions (normally max 5), describing different things they do in combat. These actions then get allocated to either attack or defence, at the free choice of the player.
Each of these actions elicits a roll of the most relevant skill against a DC 20 difficulty. A pass counts as one success, while a critical success counts as an additional success.
Attempting specific stunts can have varying effects, from making the DC easier, by using something close at hoof, to (slightly) more difficult - but more difficult stunts provide bonus successes on a pass.
In all cases, you may opt to decline a more difficult stunt and resolve it at a normal DC, though you also forfeit any bonus successes you would have received.
Similarly, using your utility talents can provide bonuses, and even be incorporated into stunts.
However, there is a catch - nobody likes it when you're boring. Repeating attacks and reusing skills over and over makes you predictable, and you take a cumulative -3 penalty to actions using the skill for every time you've used that skill this round. Mixing it up with stunts from the environment and your talents can negate this.
One defence success defeats a single offence success directed at the defender. Any leftover offence successes costs the defender a Hit. When the defender has no Hits left, they are defeated and eliminated from combat.
Players have 4 hits by default. Opponents may have more, and various conditions may affect this.
Players:
LoganAura - Uncle - Had a stint in Jackie Chan Adventures and Magic Duel.
Kenzamaka - La Viento - Plagued by questions of how he types with hooves, and whether he takes his mask off to sleep.
Conantheghost - Custard Marsh - Would probably have JRPG protagonist hair if he weren't a pony.
Curunir - Cast Dice - Wears four lucky horseshoes and once swallowed a loaded die.
Linear Analysis - Plowclaw - To his chagrin, the Bureau of Equestrian Names never has time for a griffon.

I would be interested in this... I can come up with a character tomorrow.
Re: Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding [Full]
Is it a Skype game, or a PbP? And any chance of seeing who the "reserved" characters/players are (so people don't end up making overly similar / identical characters)?

It'll be PbP, and I'm waiting for them to come in and actually claim their chairs. So far the concepts I've gotten are 'Uncle' from Jackie Chan Adventures and a pastry warrior (one-armed leather jacket optional).

Speaking of uncle, here's a terribly formatted character sheet just to show what exactly I have. I'll work on the formatting.

Re: Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding [Full]
Ah, I should have asked whether it was PbP or Skype- just kinda assumed it was PbP- it's generally pretty clear if it's skype (due to players having to know that they have to be availible at specific times. Wrong of me to assume though.
Here's my character Cast Dice
Oh, and Logan, looks like Uncle's missing a Utility talent...

Aah, I didn't see AJoAT- kinda blended in with FK due to formatting.

Whoo! Finally finished my character for this game. For a Wushu(ish) game, I present a fully Wuxia character. Cliché background, amazing powers and hidden skill. I present:

Five players? Excellent. I'll be looking to get started at the end of this week, or once Kenzamaka has his sheet ready, whichever comes sooner.

Curunir, Linear Analysis, do you have Skype?

Re: Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding [Full]
Nope, but I did just today get my hands on a functioning headset/mic. Unfortunately, anything loud at night would likely be frowned upon. So I might be rather fluttershy if we do Skype.

Skype also has an instant messaging mode. Basically a faster way to talk to everyone.

Most likely it'll just be using it as an OOC chatroom, so no worries there.

Yes, I suppose I do. Took me a moment to find it, haven't used it in a while, and had to get the password reset.
Re: Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding [Full]
Signed up, downloading, should be ready by the time winter arrives.

Re: Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding [Full]
Question: How would these work (or not) in this system of combat?
- Predestined:
After each extended rest you may roll three d20s. These die results are “stored” until you expend them when using the following talent., or until after your next extended rest (when they are replaced by the three new rolls).
What were the odds? (I Make My Own Fate) - Interrupt [3/Day]
Trigger - You make a skill check and dislike the result.
Effect - Treat the die as though you had rolled one of the stored die results. This expends the chosen roll. For example, if you rolled a natural 1 - you could trade it out for the natural 20 you were lucky enough to roll at the end of your last extended rest.
- Reliability:
Whenever you would roll a natural 1 on a d20 outside of combat, you may reroll the die with a +5 bonus. You cannot have magic points.
Re: Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding [Full]
Same question kind of applies for my Generosity.

Re: Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding [Full]
That's a good question too.
Which leads me to also wondering about assisting others (either making their attack easier, such as distracting an opponent, or defending others- like Dice trying to convince the crowd to find cover)

Re: Friendship is Wuxia: A Canter-Kong Wedding [Full]
Yo Curu? No complaints about the mimicry. At all.
And no this isn't really an idea to help Uncle act more like Uncle from Jackie chan by being a Sifu/Shifu.

Generosity and Predestined work in combat.
As far as helping others - with other PCs I'll roll with +5 to either offence or defence actions for the round. For helping the NPCs... nothing immediate in this combat, since there's few enough opponents that you can draw the attention of all of them yourselves, but hey, getting them to bunker down might just work out in your favour a little down the line.

Noticing that there is still an open slot, I would like to submit Whispersong to perhaps come crashing into this fight in not so graceful fashion.
