Meaning that no matter what perversions you want within the city, you can find it somewhere.

Would Thaddeus like to show up in one of my adventures? Perhaps he saved you from a gambler, or stopped you from cheating someone?
That sounds great. My cheating the innocent days are over but I am always getting into trouble from other activities. I am also looking for a way to tie in my "Champion of the Underdog" aspect to the "Whose path have you crossed" phase.
I am also pretty much a "Sucker For a Sob Story" which is kinda a subaspect to the underdog aspect.

It's basically 1d81 with 9 scales of use. Given that we are going to be using online random number generators for our dice... We can actually roll an 81 sided die...but then that involves looking at a chart, and even then I really don't like the probability distribution. It's a little two ugly.
Same probability distribution i don't like but we could roll the 4d6 and look at what numbers are rolled and then make and 5/6s pluses, and any 1/2s minuses, but that's kind of ugly.
Here's what I purpose... I think the probability distribution is a little better and a little more epic.
Roll 3d6
Rolled: 3-4| 5 | 6-7 | 8-9 | 10-11 | 12-13 | 14-15 | 16 | 17-18
Result: -4 |-3 | -2 | -1 | +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4
It increases your odds of rolling a +4 or a -1 by a full half a percent! (semi-sarcasm), while it is weighted a bit more heavily toward the middle, the probabilities are within a percent or two either way for each category. And I was serious about the extra .5% for the big pluses and the big minuses.
But we can just as easily do the 4d6 thing as well.
It's up to you. Everyone gets a vote.

I do believe I solved your problem. lol.
: Arje May 16, 2010, 01:10:56 AM
It's at this point that i realize that rolling the lions share of the dice rolling and authoritating what goes on is my responsibility. I think we'll stick with the forum's native dice roller and invisible castle's dice roller and simply looking at what rolls pop out will be what we do from here on out.
Something like this= 4d6=15, 4d6=17, 4d6=16, 4d6=10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2519326/)
and clicking the link and looking at those 4 rolls i see we get: +1, +2, +1, and a -1 respectively.
Or (DING DING DING) better way to do it is just as above and roll each dice individually.
Like this: 1d6=3, 1d6=1, 1d6=4, 1d6=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2519329/)
and we can easily see that rolls is: -2

Rolling 1d6-2: (2)-2: Total = 0
Rolling 4d6-8: (2+1+2+6)-8: Total = 3
Yada yada
Invisible castle looks like the way to go.
: ristarr May 16, 2010, 02:10:32 AM
But I guess what I was trying to say is we could do
1d3-2 to give -1,0,1
or 4d3 -8 for the whole roll.
: ristarr May 16, 2010, 02:16:19 AM
4d3-8 → [3,2,3,2,-8] = (2)
It looks correct ( +1, 0, 0, +1).
or with 4 1d3-2
1d3-2 → [3,-2] = (1)
1d3-2 → [2,-2] = (0)
1d3-2 → [1,-2] = (-1)
1d3-2 → [2,-2] = (0)

Lol. I really wanna start this! I'm a little too excited for it.
I am to, though it's sucked some of the air out of the room on the other games. I haven't read the section on city creation: what do we need to do as players?
: Bronnen May 17, 2010, 01:27:01 AM
I'm pretty sure none of us will suggest anything like, "Kraken with hot flashes needing to find a woman so he can bear her child"

Oh, and I'll very much be getting to victory force soon, and working on my changeling for your game, but this is kind of....taken on a life of it's own.

And i have to do a find and replace to get rid of all that nsrb nonsense....still. It didn't take as long as i feared.
Compared to that, posting the rest of the st louis information is going to be a snap.
: Kroack May 17, 2010, 10:31:04 AM
It's because this really is a team RP. I mean, character creation includes other players, city creation includes other players. This entire RP is all around people working with one another. It's so refreshing to see.
Definetely correct.
: Arje May 18, 2010, 04:54:12 AM
We'll get the threats, themes, locations and major players started tomorrow. The rest of the stuff can be posted as we play....

As we get our characters finished, i have a friend who wants to draw them.
So i'll be looking for description in terms of what the characters look like. how they dress, distinguishing facial features etc. But thats a week or so away.

Yeah, you'll phase him from behind real hard
It was hard. Took alot of time, I had to keep ducking my screen down out of shame so nobody at the office would see, and I felt kind of guilt afterwards.
Thanks for understanding Kroack. :D
So, Arje, are you still planning to add a Sixth Phase or will we stop at Five?

I moved my entire life 300 miles today. I'm about 60 kinds of exhausted. Real stuff starts happening tomorrow, as most of the character stuff is ...along... and can finish up as we go.

It keeps everything down to a single roll, and doesn't require that the GM add things up while he's running the game. Just my observations, I'll be keeping an eye on the events of the game! :)

That earlier time was just a hiccup. But I am back now. I had some RL stuff to sort out. And its as close as it's going to get.
