Still accepting players.


I saw the most recent posts for this and got excited, but now I realize this was from a year ago. Are you still open to new players? If so I have a submission, hopefully I've gotten all the math right and explained the powers adequately. I've only played the first game in the series, so I hope that's alright!

@Zeroth Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm accepting new players right now, and I'll have to poll the players we already have. But I will evaluate your CS regardless. Most things work out, but Shoot Die has some elements of self-adjust and projected adjust that need to be clarified a bit before the totals can be confirmed, at least.

When I read over the CS instructions and looked at other profiles, I took the "adjust" parameters to be like a buff/debuff, increasing or decreasing some metric of the subject (slow an enemy down, increase the strength of a punch, etc), or something that alters the fundamental state of the target (setting an enemy on fire, lasering a hole through their flesh). The intent behind Shoot Die is meant to be a "change," but not an "alteration," if that makes any sense? If an object traveling East enters the Die at 100 mph, it could be ejected at that speed but now facing a different direction (North, South, West, Up, Down). The target isn't damaged or transformed from its fundamental state, and the only parameter that has changed is its spatial direction, which I don't think is a metric that can be "increased/decreased" the way something like speed, temperature, etc could be.

Does that help clarify anything? If I misunderstood some aspect of the system let me know, I'll get it tweaked as soon as I can!

@Zeroth The issue therein isn't its default function, but that Travis can use it on himself. While he doesn't need an overtly offensive power for air-hops and stuff, if they are going to teleport him, they would need self adjust. Basically, the way you're describing it, you're overdrawing your points.
Secondarily, I'm not sure how he got all that equipment. This stuff is very underground, so he'd have to be very well connected to have that much before the RP, and I'm talking Sumeragi connected, with having a full kit, with duplicates no less.
Thirdly, if you're comfortable, would you like to join the discord and meet the rest of the crew?

@tobiax Ah, okay. I'll take a look and see what I can swap out to balance the points. For the equipment, the idea was going to be that he'd have stolen it. That's been his primary use of his Septima, using it to infiltrate places or swap objects around so as to bypass security and pull off big heists. If it's still too much, which pieces would you suggest would be the most feasible for him to have stolen and kept?

And yes, sure, I'll join the Discord!

EDIT: I refunded the Combat Suit and the Weapons Familiarity with Medium Firearms, changing the total used to 1095 with 5 Points leftover after adding Self Adjust to Shoot Die.

Hey folks, my discord account got disabled because of someone who had beef with me in a different server. Is there a chance someone could PM me the invite link again?

That sounds like a whole-ass story

@Lemons
I'd be willing to explain it a little more, but it's not the kind of thing for the public thread here on RPG.
