Only difference, far as I can tell.

Happy birthday, Palin.

It's very nice to meet you. Here are some boxes of movie-theater popcorn to eat while you read the Original Series, other important documents at the top of the Board homepage, and any other spinoffs that catch your eye! Enjoy your stay! :)

Heeeeeeeey, Ecks-overcreator! Heeeeeeey, my old mate, my old pal, from the good old days on the Discord. Those good old six minutes ago days.

My gift upon you is a relic. An artefact - from the good old days, the golden years. Of six minutes ago.
Yes, that's right: a digital watch! A sign of the times, a thing of the six minutes ago. I truly hope it brings you good memories.
Of six minutes ago, when I said 'hello' to you, on Discord.

Welcome!

Modifiers

Cir or Circumstance is when the circumstances the character is in have either a positive or negative affect on what they're trying to do (you can't fight effectively if you're dangling over a pit and holding on with one hand for example). It can also be used as a catch-all modifier for anything that could arise in the RP, if trying to do the impossible, expect a large negative circumstance modifier. A few Circumstance modifiers are permanent whilst the majority will be active for a set number of turns, or until something else happens (in the example above the circumstance negative modifier persists until the character either falls in the pit (they're then not fighting) or until they get out of the pit (no longer dangling over the edge)).

Inj or Injury. Only a negative modifier, Injuries happen in the same kind of way they do IRL. Injuries will wear off after a while to mimic your characters either healing or just getting used to the pain. They can also be healed by certain items, Clerics and potentially by friendly NPC's. Injuries also cover poisons and the like.

Arm or Armour. How much protection you are wearing. There are four types of armour in the RP, Clothing which can naturally confer a +1 bonus max. Light Armour which can naturally confer a +3 bonus max. Mail Armour can naturally confer a +5 bonus max. Heavy Armour can naturally confer a +7 bonus max and Plate Armour can naturally confer a +9 bonus max. Although Class and Race powers can improve these bonuses above their normal maximum. If you pick two different class powers through the use of the Natural Class Race power, then the lowest armour type is the one you are able to equip. Shields will also give an Armour bonus, and can be wielded by any class, although if you have a Shield you can't wield a two handed weapon.

Dam or Damage. The amount of bonus damage you do with a weapon, all weapons will have a set damage bonus they will give you which can then be increased or decreased by your characters powers, and any enchanting or improving of the weapons you may do. Shields can also turn their armor bonus into a damage bonus if you try bash with them. Weapons are either one handed or two handed (you will be told which).

It's a Hoe! Tilling land with this one grows random copies of our Original Series. Speaking of which, have you read it yet? It's practically required reading around here.

Or, if you don't want to for whatever reason, feel free to email me as well.

Much excite!

Or I can PM it to you over Discord, I don't mind either way.

But I am certainly starting to get excited, so could I, perhaps, get a list of all the abilities for the classes and races? If you want to share it and want to email it to me, just let me know and I can give it to you.

And it's pretty much set in a custom universe specifically created for the RP.

However, Characters will be able to choose from one of six races: Centaur, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Half-Orc and Lizardmen. Each race has three inherent abilities unique to that race and each character can pick two of them. For example, the Lizardmen have the Dry Skin, Tough Scales and Natural Hunter abilities. Dry Skin allows them to heal themselves in water at the cost of taking double damage from fire, Tough Scales gives a natural bonus to armour and Natural Hunter allows them to take one of the Hunter class abilities for free.

There are then 9 classes: Fighter, Barbarian, Knight, Hunter, Thief, Rogue, Hedge Mage, Wizard and Sorceror. Each class has two abilities that a character can pick one of. For example the Hunter has the Bowman and Trapmaster abilities. Bowman makes the character superior at range whilst slightly inferior in close combat, whilst the Trapmaster can use whatever is on hand to create a trap that can be lethal to anything that passes through it (including other characters who forget where the trap is) but is slightly worse off when it comes to actually fighting. Both of the Hunter's abilities limit what type of armour they can wear to either Light armour or Clothing, which gives less protection than, say Plate armour but gives the character more maneuverability, which may be useful if you're trying to be acrobatic or dodge something.

I wanted to make the RP as open-ended as possible so if others want to either do another dungeon crawl with their characters or create a new adventure or whatever, they could. I guess the story for this one could be:
'A group of (relatively) new adventurers have decided to band together and defeat Parnax, an ancient Dragon said to be hoarding a vast array of treasures that could make them very rich and famous. However, Parnax's lair is at the bottom of the treacherous Bore-hole, and the only safe way down on foot involves traversing through multiple chambers and caverns that various monsters now call their home.'

Who had way too much fun creating a backstory for the RP.

P.S If you want to come up with new ideas for Races/Classes let me know and I can give you a list of all the existing one's and their abilities so they don't clash, and yes there are no humans atm, I'm not sure if I want it to stay that way or not.

Generic welcome is generic! Mind sharing your favorite fandoms with us?

Hello everyone!

I am a young fanfic writer who shares the PPC's passion to help correct bad-fics and protect both the fanon and the canon. I'm also quite the shy and kind talker in online conversations, so let us know each other more, and work together to a noble common goal.

Your (soon-to-be) newest member,
Xovercreator.

Most of my points was in response to people going "the stars are near!" Well, no. The solar system beckons, yes, but not the stars. We're so not there yet.

And I will take up that offer. If it turns out that the Emdrive works once in orbit, I'll double my annual donation to Doctors Without Borders. Might as well keep on doing good while we're at it, eh?

I'd probably be confined to the dungeon one given a reprehensible unfamiliarity with most Pokemon mechanics, but both sound interesting.

Mind sharing some details on the dungeon crawler premise? Time, place, history, that sort of thing?

It really doesn't need all that much power. A small power source can sustain it— and a nuclear battery certainly fits the bill.

Also, a conventional nuclear reactor is a massive affair. It generates electricity by heating steam and shoving it through turbines— such a system in space is going to be an unwieldy affair, needing water and air and plumbing and maintenance to work properly. Also, we've never needed to build one in space before, so a design would have to compensate for the lack of gravity. All in all, a rather challenging power solution, yes.

I meant to add that whichever you or the people as a whole felt like doing first is fine with me.

I've got 2 I've been working on and I was wondering if people would be interested in either. They are:

The first is a dungeon crawler-esque RP involving dice where you create characters and try to get from one side of the dungeon to the other (preferably without dying). I do still need to decide on the amount of health all the NPC's will have, but besides that this is finished.

The second is a New Region Pokemon RP using ORAS mechanics and Pokemon. This one is still a bit more of a WIP due to me losing the memory stick with most of the files on them and not having a back up, I need to finish describing the towns, places of interests and routes, and then fill said routes with Pokemon and polish up some of the Gym teams (all important trainer battles will be done on Showdown, the rest can be RPed by whoever is involved in them).

Comment if you're interested or want to know more or anything. If you are interested in both of them please note due to time constraints I will only be able to run one at a time.

I'm afraid human biology doesn't work that way. But congratulations on living this far! You will have a wonderful life ahead of you, I can just feel it!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE
HOPE NOBODY MAKES YOU BLUE
AND YOUR CAKE DOESN'T EXPLODE IN GOO!
