Laddy Has An RPG and He Wants You To Play It

[Laddy]

What up, my lovely EoFFers?

Okay, so I have an RPG I've been developing for the past year and I need help balancing and lore-building before I get really deep into the systems and world.

So, in short, I want you guys to test it out. I have a short campaign written up, and my system, despite being in a very, very early development stage, needs to be tested so I know whether or not I want to move along with this particular system. Also, I need help getting some inspiration for the lore of the setting. In short, based on how you guys play certain races/classes/nationalities may inspire my later development.

So, a quick summary of what the game is.

The unnamed game is a pen-and-paper RPG game set in a system combining fantasy, science fiction, steampunk, and Jazz Age. The world has a wide-variety of cultures based off real-world cultures, a space-faring element, but also elements of early 20th Century technology. There are multiple races, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, cultures, and special abilities, as well as multiple classes for you to play as to create a wide variety of character options and play styles.

The game system is fairly simple, with a d100 system and an Armor Class system I really, really hope isn't too annoying.

If you're interested, I can set up a session in a RPG chat, like roll20, for how to roll up a character or I can do it through PM or even in the thread. We can schedule a time to play if you so wish as well.

So, who's in? Do you want more info or are you not all interested?

[Agent Proto]

It sounds pretty interesting. I would like to try this game out with you.

[Skyblade]

I'm willing to try, and I do love lore-building.

Although I'm not sure I'll have time to participate in two tabletop RPG sessions. What day would this be?

[Laddy]

Hell, I can help you roll your character via PM if you want.

EDIT: As for the date, I'm available whenever you guys are.

[Roogle]

Oh, how funny. 1d100? It sounds like my game, Dokal. I run that in #eoff from time to time.

[Bunny]

I would probably be interested in this since the D&D group seems to have died.

[Laddy]

Aw yeah. I was worried about people not being interested. Anyways, lemme get a list going of people.

Interested
1. Pr00tz

EDIT: Also, if anyone wants to jump ahead and create a character, you can go ahead and PM me if you want.

Ohhhhhh man I want to be a hamster engineer

[Laddy]

Somehow I knew you'd pick that. Do you wanna roll up your character in PM?

And Bunny's character is more or less finished. He is badass. He is pretty much unkillable. And his name is probably the coolest name ever.

[Bunny]

AWWWWWW YEAAAAA

[Laddy]

All right, so since I have some peeps interested it's about time we decide when we wanna do this. I'm up for anything.

Also, PM me for character generation and trout.

[Bolivar]

Woah woah woah we've only been doing my character via PM, you didn't tell me there would be trout, too.

[Araciel]

You know I'm in if I can.
