Legends of Aerith: The new world

Guys why don't we just copy the D&D spell system? >_>

no.. i never liked that system D: D:

Hell no.

I agree with puppy, I hate that system, no clear defined source of magic, and limited amount of spells per day.

>.<

yall just a bunch of scrubs

Any way, we need to work out what Era we want to do this time.

• High fantasy?
• Age of Exploration?
• Something new?

we can work out the magic system after that.

Nah, it just wouldn't work in a freeform rp where presumably the setting invokes multiple forms of magic sources and infinite, and as such arbitrary limitations just bog what little rp there is to begin with.

And hmmmmm. We going with usual fantasy species, or something originals?

i like the age of exploration >.>

Maybe have it so that different regions are at different relative levels of advancement? So you have one isolated place in the middle ages, another that is high fantasy, etc.

That might be too confusing, though.

I like

Anything that is not Steampunk / Industrial or later.

That was kinda what we always did spart, but you still gotta chose the basic level for Arkania, you know where people start?

...I'd say somewhere between high fantasy and middle ages. Would that be Age of Discovery?

Age of discovery is "Lo L we now have these ships that can sail the seas, we dont know what the fuck is out there, lets go find out"

I go with "Age of you know what fuggit we're going to pester those guys out on that obviously-deserted-and-not-evil-island for treasure and entertainment"

I'd say between middle ages and high fantasy then.

Like, it's not as shit as the middle ages but it's not quite high fantasy, either.

Any one else want to comment?

I like the age of exploration idea.

Sure. Mind if I joined with Marcia Shyneet the Alchemist? She was OC Standin for the Slacker Magician.

When I couldn't sleep last night. I thought of several question.

• 1.) Time period?

• 2.) Are we going first loa character idea? If so then are we going to update the characters?

• 3.) How are we going handle magic? The level of tech? Also are stealing form round 2, if so what are we stealing?

we were actauly still talking about those if you had just read up. >.<

im running on 3day of lack of sleep.

1) I think somewhere between the end-of-an-age going on with the first iteration, and the age-of-exploration thing going on might be helpful. Like, for example...um...the first two Legend Of Zelda-s or One Piece. Both franchises had big important things going on and major events happening, but their heroes still took time to actually get a proper look around the world while they were doing it.

Mostly saying this because from what I observed, just as general critique, the first game had a generally good sense of urgency but lacked proper player agency, while the second game had completely full agency for the players but a lack of urgency to do things or explore particulars. I dunno. Might be talking out of my ass here.

2) Well, considering last I heard we're changing up the setting, it'd be kind of necessary to update those characters to fit the setting anyways. I know I'm planning on doing it if we're to do it like that.

3) I have no idea on that one. The most I ever had to contribute was some minor bestiary/races ideas that I sent to Shiny and haven't gotten around to completely finishing yet. I think it would be better if someone else were to decide on the fundamentals of technology/magic in this setting.

I still have those saved in pms and gmail drafts rai

Boarding the hype train this time.

Really? Never thought I would see you here spazzers. :D

And I actualy agree with what Rai said very much.
