Ok I made a fantasy RPG set in the renaissance period of time (in a magical world of course). In this RPG the GMs will constanly change so as to continually keep the RPG fresh and intresting. And I just opened it so its free for anyone to go and roleplay (with approved charecters of course).

And now I've given Delatton a way to leave his trademark behind on his kills.

Say hello to the Scarring dagger. He uses it to make Glasgow Smiles on those he kills. It splits both cheeks from ear to ear in a matter of seconds.

Nice Dagger Kranford.

Anyways seeing as how no one has submitted any more charecters I will be updating. However I should warn no large quest will be happening for a bit mostly due to the lack of people submitting charecters.

In the story, would I be able to start the passing of time. For example, in the story, it is about to rain, so could I say that my character waited till it started to rain, and add on from there, or will I have to wait for the GM to start it.

Kranford no offence but you are taking out way to many guys way too fast. You kill these guys before I have a chance to tell you what they are going to do. If you are fighting someone try to atleast give them a chance to parry because I doubt anything that would pose a signifigant challenge is going to come around anytime soon.
So yeah don't take down thirty guys in one post. Please?

oh well, I'll still cut back to where he tosses the spheres. chances are they haven't heard of black lotus poison before though...

EDIT: Seeing as you're about to post, I'll just say that was all of his black lotus. That way, he can't do it again, okay?

Kranford I have nothing wrong with killing people. I only have a problem when the battle was supposed to last longer then one post. This was a major event that I wanted all possible group members to jump in on. Hell depending on who joined, it would actually become a larger quest. So listen when I bring thirty heavily armed guys out I usually want everyone who is involved with this to join in.

Yes its one of those battles that are supposed to last a while so the GM can figure out what to do next and provide a way to get everyone who is and soon will be involved, involved.

Also I hope the edit didn't make my post irrelavent :unsure: .....

Also Im thinking of allowing players to drop out temporarly after a quest is done in order for them to take a break and then drop in when a new quest starts. Since no one can RP as much as others.

What do you guys think?

By the way Immortal, you know we don't all have to be introduced during this bar fight that has suddenly escalated to World War 3.

Also, elementals that are summoned are not there permanently. They are there until the magic duration expires, or the caster is very dead, as the magic that was being focused to bind them there is no longer being channeled. In essence, there is nothing keeping that air elemental on the prime plane now. His summoner is dead, and away he goes. That's pretty much the only way summoning magic makes any sense at all.

Don't artificially lengthen a fight by making our opponents suddenly become incredibly powerful just so that some more characters can be introduced. It's unnecessary and kills the fun.

No it doesn't... I like it when he brings in new and tougher situations, it gives us a chance for some creativity and imagination.

The elementals will be difficult to deal with, you can't melee pure air and many of us have a limited use with magic. It allows for some fun and creativity.

Ok I know everyone is a little upset over the elementals but listen theres a perfectly good reason for why everything is happening. Just wait a bit. I would tell you why the elementals are not doing what they should be doing but its a plot point in the near future. Before any of you start wondering why I seem to be turning a simple bar fight into world war III as Kranford put it is because its a major plot point, ok? Ive had this whole thing planned out (which will end when we get to Rema or whatever the hell I called the port city as that will be the part where someone else may GM if they wish). Ok so just be patient.

Also Puma please keep whatever your going to be decking your guy out in period appropriate.

You already know the answer so why are you asking?
1. Guns during this time where more likely to explode in your face then actually hit something let alone kill it, also scopes can't fit on the gun because frankly it just wouldn't fit. They are not made to add anything onto them.
2. Thats a cannon. A cannon. Have you ever seen how heavy those things are? The ammo alone needed its own horse and carriage to be wheeled around during this time.

Also cah318ery7 the earth elemental is dead and Im fighting his summoner. The wind elemental is dead. The only elemental left is the berzerk one and Kranford is happily killing it. Also you can not make elementals go bezerk, thats god modding.

I would say live a little, but you do have valid points. Crying shame I can't make a medieval sniper riffle. I'll just have a telescope with me separately..

It still allows me to arm myslef with guns, in spite of the fact they'll blow up in my face.

Can I still start a riot when the GM-ing comes my way? I think it would be brilliant to put a riot in front of you guys.

well, you can make a wheel-lock sniper rifle. It's far more reliable (and a helluva lot safer) and you can probably fit some sort of telescopic sight on it.

That was kinda what I was intending, I didn't trust the matchlocks. I just forgot to mention that (actually I probably never considered that as a rack my brains aroudn it, good call Kranny).
I'd extend the barrel, and add on a telescope there. If it doesn't work I am going to put my energy into GM-ing a riot.

Immortal, if the barrel of a wheellock riffle was lenghened and I put on a telsecope there, would that work?

Can I place the fact that in the intended era, wheel locks haven't been invented yet?

BUT, this RP is free, lets say after some traveling and knowledge you eventually(If you are purely into gunpowder weapons) Discover the wheel mechanism and apply it to a rifle.

Wheel locks had come into existence at roughly the time of the Renaissance. They were just too damn expensive to catch on.

ALRIGHT, alright. You can have a wheellock weapon with a sight on it. (Actually thing about it how would you fit a scope on it, Theres a huge flame next to your face not to mention when that flame hits gunpowder and you can not see due to the smoke....)
But you ae not getting a cannon. There is no reason why anyone, unless they are in an army to be wheeling around a cannon.

Also as a heads up updates will probably come sparingly mostly because I have exams and I need to study.

Thank you.

I'll extend the butt of the rifle and add a lever to the trigger, so I am out of the way of the flame. It'll be unwieldy, but then again sniper riffles are not necessarily something you put in your pocket.
I gave up on the cannon after the first bit. It was a one shot deal.
I'll add a few shotguns and we're good.

shotguns at that time were essentially blunderbusses. You load the barrel with whatever is on hand at the moment. I'm not sure if they're around at the time though.

Puma I noticed anouther problem with your sniper rifle idea. The rifles during this period where highly inaccurate, this was often compensated by having large numbers of troops march single file across the battlefield to the target. This started the whole marching column tatics that any one who has studied the napoleonic wars is familar with. Also it takes about five minetes to reload the bloody thing. Puma those rifles where mostly used at todays modern shotgun range with only one pellet. Rifles where mostly used as a one shot deal during this time before you rush in with a sword. So yeah puma I know you want a sniper rifle but it is not physically possible to have one on a rifle during this period.
Now of course this excluds the crossbow, a weapon that was most certainly the eras sniper rifle.
So yeah if you want a rifle just remember, there shotguns with only one bullet and a five minete reload time.

Anyways I will update possibly tommorow, again depending on school and exhaustion.

What about a Crossbow sniper? You certainly can attach a scope to one of those... you can also make the arrow explosive to make things gorier.

(Following from Wikipedia)
Chu Ke Nu. Apparently it was highly innacurate but could fire 10 bolts in 15 seconds. An arbalest (European crossbow) could fire 2 bolts a minute, but was much more accurate and powerful.
