Right! Yes! Brilliant idea!

Helloooooo! :D

Grimtooth

Hey there!

Welp, if you two have any ideas for responses to the last post, maybe others will crawl out of the woodwork? :D

Grimtooth

Northerrnn! Hey there! I'm not sure a post will be necessary, if you're the only one here, unfortunately. UNLESS someone else is lurking, in which case they should speak up!

Haha, oh well. If you want to take a ride on the t-rex, now's the time to do it I guess. xD

Mirror, Fox, Key

Hay guys! What's up? What's happenin? Jordy, you're definitely alive! I believe in you!

Moonfiend

A map of Periphery, maybe? :)

Gotta mark it and make a legend. Ideas for landmarks?

Moonfiend

I'm not very clear on what you mean here (collecting power gems to unlock certain abilities?), but as long as it doesn't feel too out of place with the setting I don't mind at all :)

@MsChimeric

Yea, being out of place is my concern. Not necessarily unlocking abilities, but increasing that dream power when using sigils, or breaking other people's spells, things like that. It'd be best explained by doing it IC, I think.

Also, are the grits capable of magic? IE would there be sigils and runes beyond the wall? and what is the other way from the wall, back towards civilization?

@OnlyThePie

The Grit are capable of magic, yes. They rely on it exclusively, since they don't have the technology that the city folk do. So there are sigils beyond the walls, but no runes. The Grit never enchant things, and the only enchanted items they have were stolen from passing traders.

I'm not sure I understand the second question? :) The city is built within the circle of the wall -- people are so crammed into the space that the buildings are stacked on top of one another, with bridges and walkways and floating boats to get around. Also teleportation sigils. The only way in and out of the wall is to use the teleportation sigils: there's a sigil inside the wall, which is connected to the sigil engraved on the outside. Touch one, appear at the other. Teleportation sigils are all over the city; each connects to one other sigil somewhere else in the city, though some people have drawn their own that go who knows where.

I'm thinking out loud, 'scuse me. xD

@drewccapp All we needed was a smartass self-absorbed failed-mage teenager with a magic pen. Approved. :3

Mirror, Fox, Key

Ok guys, who's actually here? XD

Moonfiend

@Eodwyn Aether ok cool! I can totally see there being a section of the city that lives more simply. :)

odd question, since the wall is being built to defend against these unique creatures, would are characters need weaponry? obviously some characters have magic and tools but would something such as a gun be out of the question? I mean I guess you wouldnt want to put something like that in the hands of a convict. I found a pretty good picture for my character though, he just so happens to be holding a gun. thus the question.

@MrSkelly

Because the wall is so high, I imagine it's extremely rare that the wall guards would need to use violence - the Grit simply don't bother attacking. The builders on the wall are not dangerous people; I think they're thieves at worst, but mostly they're just down on their luck. Dangerous people will be kept in prison. The policy on no weapons isn't very well enforced, especially if your character makes friends with the guards. There's no reason to have a weapon, but if you do nobody makes a fuss.

@Riptide@Dud Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely explore the Grit, the wall, and character development!

@drewccapp heeyyy! can't wait to see the cs! ;)

To everyone: how do you feel about maybe using video game physics/mechanics? Specifically I'm thinking of methods of collecting objects in order to accomplish certain goals and gain power. There would be no numbers involved at all, but just the basic concept of magic power gems, for example. XD

Moonfiend

@Eodwyn Aether I like him! :D Liam seems a tiny bit behind the times, unless you mean for the poorer part of town to rely on old-fashioned work? We're in an age of robots, laser guns and hoverboats! You're approved either way, just making sure we're thinking the same era. :)

@Tojin Maria's so sweet! xD Approved, of course!

Moonfiend

@Archimedes Sure, right, I'm totally holding back information for curiosity's sake! I'm totally not still writing this or debating what these things actually are or running in circles with the plot! Nope! :3

Kickoff shall beeee ...... as soon as I'm confident enough in what's actually happening to set it down in stone.

In the meantime, I just added the queen to the NPCs. :)
