Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Based on the recent successes of the idea of an AIM based Dungeons and Dragons style roleplay under Ephesos, ET, and Nioca (with one by Sarachim in the works!), I decided that there was nothing stopping me from running one. So, at sometime about two months ago, I made up my mind to run one. I’ve been polishing, redesigning, and working out the kinks in my system for the past eight week, and now at last it’s time to reveal my Frankenstein Monster to the world, Here’s the background: Click to reveal.. (Universe background) The Galactic Empire has reigned supreme over all of humanity for the past twelve thousand years. Now, it is dying. Bit by bit, the Periphery began to secede from the Empire one kingdom at a time. At first it was peaceful-treaties were signed, diplomats shook hands and posed for the tridimensional ‘corders, and embassies were set up. Then, it became hostile. Wars broke out, and the Empire realized that it would need to recoup its losses the way it always had: with force. And so, of the hundred thousand trillion humans in the galaxy, almost ten percent were in the military, higher than any pervious point in history. There were constant skirmishes and hedge wars between the Empire in the core, and the fractious and numerous kingdoms of the Periphery. Under the leadership of various generals, admirals, and emperors, the Empire has manged to produce a stalemate of sorts, with the territorial size remaining roughly the same, and the glory of the Spaceship-and-sun still ascendant (for now). So, as some of you may have guesses from the backstory, this will be a scifi campaign set in Isaac Asimov’s foundation universe, chronologically right after Bel Riose's recall and execution (midway through Foundation and Empire). The system is all prepared, and I’m uploading it snippet by snippet from memory to my website (seeing as my old computer with all my notes AND SPIDERWEB GAMES had the courtesy to die on me two weeks ago). It’s a slow process, so consider this just your warning thread and signup thread for now. I’m a busy guy, and probably won’t have time to DM a campaign until Eph and Nioca finish up, which should be in a month or so, give or take a few weeks. By June, it should definitely be going. So, consider this your fair warning; Although it is by no means necessary (you could easily get by with the info on Wikipedia), it would be very good if you would read Foundation and Foundation and Empire in the time between now and then. It will be a campaign based on all the strong suits of Asimov: EPIC ADVENTURE! FANTASTIC CHARACTERS! FEARSOME TECHNOLOGY! INTRICATE PLANS! THE READILY AVAILABLE SUPPLY OF LARGE HAM!!!! That's where you come in: Click to reveal.. (Your backstory) As one of the five quadrillion humans going into military service for the Imperium, you six/five/seven/four were assigned on a unit together, and posted to the ISS Agis VI. The mission of the sip was simple: you were to head off the the Siwenna and reinforce the Imperial garrison fighting against rogue elements of Riose's command. However, no one is a worse gossip than a soldier stuck aboard a ship for months, and the rumors you've hears are too persistent to be denied. Some aboard your ship say that you were sent on some kind of "secret mission" under command of a member of the Imperial Special Services. It's interesting, but the trip passed largely without even, until you exited hyperspace in orbit over Indus II. You didn't even see the ship coming until you had already been boarded...

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 To echo Cthulhu, I am greatly tempted to join in, but am not sure about timing, as I've had to miss spectating a lot of the sessions of other games due to being at work. I'm definitely rather curious to see the handling of an Asimov based setting, particularly since Asimov's own stories in that setting had (or at least depicted directly) relatively small amounts of the sort of mayhem that roleplaying game characters seem to generate and thrive on. (Such mayhem would fit right in in a Doc Smith setting, it occurs to me. I don't think I'd want to try any game implementation of zero-g space-axe combat, though.)

The original Foundation novel is the best and the first and requires the least amount of context to understand.

I'm setting it in an area of the universe that contains tons of mayhem, even in the novels, and at a time where mayhem would be the order of the day in the galaxy- I would think that the Siwenna sector during the fall of the Empire would see plenty of mayhem.

I was beaten by one of my neighbors kids, who was 12 at the time. It was embarrassing because I had just broken a FIDE rating of 2100 at the time, and was basically playing the best chess of my life.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Sweet! We seem to have much more (and much more varied) interest in this than I original expected (I honest thought this would be a campaign of Eph, Triumph, Nikki, Diki, Nio; the usual suspects.) Anyways, here is a list of what seems to be the players so far. Correct me if I'm wrong. Lord Safey Cthulu Niemand Nioca INNI (possibly, time dependent) Monroe Enraged Slith(possibly, book dependent) Doom Nalyd Wow. That's a lot of people, and I'm NOT going to commit suicide by running two sessions. So I guess this means I'll be having a lottery, unless quite a lot of people suddenly have to drop out for scheduling reasons. If anyone else wants to join, thy'd better hurry up. Looking at what people say, it appears that the major inhibitor of the players right now is the timing/time zones. To get this issue out of the way, I'll say that the sessions are forced to be in the time window of 6 PM CDT to 12 PM CDT, although I'd really only like to stay up until midnight if the sessions are on Friday or Saturday(I have a job .) So with the time of day out of the way, it would be nice to nail down a consistent date, if possible. Since this RP will probably head from late May to July, I would think that most students on the boards will be out of school and have a much easier time making sessions (Again, I could be wrong.) So if this eliminates you right away, please just say so and save me the trouble of biting my nails until the last possible second wondering how I'm going to run a campaign with 12 people in it.

If there are still too many people around when it comes time to begin, I wouldn't mind bowing out overly much, given that I have no experience in these things anyway. Until the time does come to begin, we can engage in a cloak-and-dagger struggle to force enough others out to ensure that we get in. To get the ball rolling, I suggest attempting to get Nayld grounded again, and visiting the public libraries near Enraged Slith and pilfering all of their Asimov texts.

I have finished a practice run of the system with Nioca, and it seems that, with a few minor tweaks, the system is good-to-go. The log will be posted shortly [and by "shortly", I mean it is available HERE], and in the next week or so, I'll work on wrapping up any other loose ends that remain untied. Please note that the events, places, and people int he log will NOT be appearing later in the campaign. Hunting worms in the desert is easy for me to mindlessly come up with in a practice session, not an actual run of the RP. I might also want to run a space combat test run with multiple people. PM me if you are interested. You may or may not be piloting Z-wings to rescue Princess Be-ia from the Dark Star battlestation. Second, sometime in the next few weeks, I'll hold a lottery to figure out who gets in and who... does not get in. I'd image that those people will be crushed, or something.

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Question regarding weapons. It seems you have to specify a type of weapon for weapon class (Handheld, Turret, Pilot). Does that mean you still have some proficiency in other weapons in that class (e.g. someone with skill in a Needlegun could also handle a Stunner, though maybe not as well), or are they ONLY proficient in that specific weapon? I just bring it up because it could make Artifact-level weapons a little awkward since no one will be able to use them in the latter case. Also, is "Hand-to-Hand" a viable hand-held weapon class?

Yes. If you attempt to use a weapon in it's class you are not proficient with, just take half of your highest weapon skill and use that instead. The exception is melee weapons, those are pretty much a separate category. 2. Yes, it is. But it wouldn't do as much damage as a melee weapon.
