So yeah, since Kayeka made the suggestion, here it is! Just discuss stuff like if you need help with understanding some rules or clarifying anything that has been talked about, just post away!

TEAM JOHTO

TEAM KANTO

RULE VARIATIONS

  • Each character starts with 5000P (P = Pokemon currency) as well as one randomly generated item. Roll 1d100 and send the result to me so I can check to see what you win! You are guaranteed 5 Pokeballs and 2 Potions in addition to whatever you get.

Can someone post summaries of the events of each session here? Or, should we not do that if you're doing the parallel campaigns thing?

[up]We probably shouldn't, no.

Also, I think it's a good idea to post a little summary of everything that we have discussed in the other topics. Stuff like who has agreed to join up, short story summary, campaign structure, how we will meet up, stuff like that.

You All Meet in an Inn.

But seriously, I have an idea. If people could post the stats and all that for their characters, I can link to each character in the first discussion post as well as edit it to include the interesting stuff like story summary.

Before we do that, I think it would be better if we first decide who is on Team Kanto and who is on team Johto, so that can discuss our charact5er builds in order to maximise team dynamics.

[up][up]And how do you propose we post them? I think it would be better to have them all in one place rather than scattered across the Internet.

[up]Well, Muramasan wants to be in the same group as Moerin, and they're both Coordinators. I think team dynamics has already gone out the window.

I'd rather be from Johto, but I can still change if needed. And I'm playing Breeder/Chef. So much for a well-balanced group! [lol] I'll post my character sheet as soon as I've finished it.

By the way, since I missed the fun yesterday, on which time zone are we, exactly? I'm on UTC+1, and that's already a big difference with USA players. I'm afraid it'll be hard to play anytime other than week-ends...

[up]I'm currently UTC-6. That's a full seven hours of difference between you and I.

Oh right, the rundown. We have 2 Coordinators, 2 Psychics, a Mystic, and a Breeder.

Yeah, no real balance there. Fortunately, my Mareep is SO BULKY.

I know this because last night we

were trying stuff out and decided to have a practice battle - a 2d12+21 physical attack still didn't even hit for half of her max HP with a reduced Defense CS.

She also one-shot with a crit from Thundershock, and it was the first thing she did. I can already tell this is going to be amazing.

I'm UTC-7... I'm planning on having Enduring Soul as one of my Advanced Classes along with Empath, so I'll be a Psychic with a slight Ace Trainer bent.

[up]You and me both... My third class will be Electric-Type Ace (I don't have the second one yet, and I must get them in order), and fourth (if we ever get that far...) will be either Healer or Clairsentient.

[up][up][up]Ungodly bulky.

Speaking of balance, is a stat build that emphasizes Strength, Wisdom and Con as spread wafer thin as I think it would be?

Talden Since: May, 2009
#12: Oct 3rd 2011 at 12:40:58 PM

Bulky? I'm breeding the bulkiest beasts of all! Everything in my team will bear such a thick layer of fat it'll make Rufus jealous! [lol]

[up] I think it's safe to play on two different stats, a third one might be a minor bonus, but not something you must rely on constantly.

Shame that team dynamics went down already. Never thought we'd end up with two coordinators.

Maybe I should change my breeder/evolver to something more Ace Trainer like, for the sake of balancing things out.

Moerin (4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
#14: Oct 3rd 2011 at 2:02:53 PM

I'm surprised there aren't more coordinators. Coordinators are cool! ^_^

...Okay, only I think that, but still...

...STAGE ON~!

...Ahem. >.> Okays, I suppose I should get back to reading the manual. The last time I tried to wing something like this by only skimming the manual... Didn't go too well. Ahem.

#15: Oct 3rd 2011 at 2:10:06 PM

I would be willing to change what class my character is... Not to coordinator, though, much harder to write a depressing backstory to coordinators...

[up]I could totally go for that. "...And so, since I owed the mob money and lost the Contest, they kidnapped my parents..." *starts sobbing incoherently*

Alright, I will edit the starting posts with who is in what region as well as their character name and/maybe their planned build.

Also, pigeon, why not be a Capture Specialist? Snagger would work great for an Anti-Hero.

[up] I said it was harder, not impossible, and I don't usually go with {Anti Hero}}es, I usually go with some version of The Woobie, or The Pollyana. I do occasionally go with Anti Heroes, though...

Kayeka (4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
#18: Oct 3rd 2011 at 2:51:05 PM

Capture specialist would still be a pretty good choice for that sort of thing. Plenty of stuff to feed backstory in there.

deathpigeon Since: Jan, 2001 Relationship Status: One True Dodecahedron
#19: Oct 3rd 2011 at 2:55:20 PM

[up] Its the potentials for the backstory that drew me to both the idea of Empath and of Enduring soul... Well, now I have no idea what I want to be... *Sighs dramatically.* Now to go through the Players handbook again...

Kayeka (4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
#20: Oct 3rd 2011 at 3:02:01 PM

So since the spots for Johto are already taken, I guess that I'm with the Kanto group? Good enough.

Hmmm, working together with two coordinators. I'll just go with my breeder/evolver/ace trainer build as intended. Better start on the proper character sheet.

Talden Since: May, 2009
#21: Oct 3rd 2011 at 3:12:19 PM

Dooooh! I got everything right in my character sheet, but I can't find a name for my trainer to save my life. I need a naaaaaame...

(It took me approximatively 3.27 sec to find a name for my pokémon, though, that's my new record.)

Kayeka (4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
#22: Oct 3rd 2011 at 3:23:24 PM

Try joinking a name from your favourite video game character. That's what I did.

Moerin (4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
#23: Oct 3rd 2011 at 3:24:22 PM

Oh right, name, uh... I'm going with Rin, because... It's what I always name my Pokemon character. >.> There, at least that was easy.

Oh, Dan would do just fine. Good call.

[up][up][up]A variation: My character's last name is ripped from a place in another game. There were a few people from there with wind and lightning powers.
