Thanks for the props, Leif. I couldn't sleep and I thought the game needed a bit of moving along so I just started typing... First time trying the dice roller and I thought the same as you regarding the chances of getting *exactly* the same roll twice. Now I'm wondering if I did it wrong? I...

'Finished with that?' asks Gruffle, pointing at the newspaper. As is his custom, he takes out his micro-camera, sets it on one of the chairs, then holds up the front page of the paper (with today's date showing) while activating the remote. Happy that he's got a little snapshot of his visit to...

As this thread is also home to random musings, here are a couple more things I've been thinking about. Firstly, for the defaults intros (and any interludes featuring them) I'm thinking of using a stripped down version of something called Pace. It's a diceless system written by Fred Hicks (of...

Absolutely anything you want. Although I have to say my early Chinese history knowledge is...sparse but don't let that stop you if that's what interests you. I like a challenge ;)

OK, seems like we have a consensus to go for Level 10 PF. Feel free to buy mundane gear - I'll probably make the assumption that if it's something that a member of your class/race/background might reasonably have, then I'll allow it even if its not on your sheet. Other stuff to be assigned by...

Gruffle takes a chair beside Spider. 'All squared away' he says proudly. 'Honestly, they obviously don't train the dockers round here very well; the speed they were moving at, it would have taken most of the day to get a few boxes sorted out. Thought they would have been happier when I showed...

Still happy to go with what you guys want - will wait to see what Mowgli proposes later - but thinking back to some of my original notes, unless anyone *really* objects, I'm thinking of significantly reduced wealth in terms of what you can 'spend' to equip yourselves, as I have something else in...

For your Pathfinder PCs I'll let you guys decide where in the 8 - 10 range you want to play - maybe someone has a build that gets something cool at 10th, otherwise 8th will have got you another stat point, and 9th a feat so either of them have their attractions. 2 traits, 25 pt buy, any PF...

Excellent work on Gaibrial! Gives me lots to work with (in fact after 1 read through I already knew how I was going to do the intro and segue into 'part 1' for him). I'm very happy for people to build in 'core skills' which will express themselves in one way or another in different personas...

What I was envisaging is that as part of the intro there will be an 'awakening' of sorts. Before that happens (i.e. during the intro), you will be your default incarnation which will have been living and functioning in whichever campaign world up to this point (and it won't necessarily be the...

No wriggling now! Get that thinking cap on ;)

'I'll do it' says Gruffle cheerfully. 'Maybe they'll let me help unload the crates, or even', he lowers his voice so only Spider can hear him, 'let me drive one of the trucks'. His ears prick up at this exciting (to him) prospect.

Thanks for those thoughts GE. I'll let the others digest and contribute before responding in any depth, but on the first game system, while I did toy with the idea of having you start as yourselves and freeform it, I think I'm going to go with Pathfinder as everyone knows the basics at least...

I'm happy for you to move us on. Gruffle will be trying to persuade the trucker to let him drive but don't let that hold us up.

OK folks over to you - the discussion is out in the open so no chance of missed PMs. Any thoughts or issues I haven't covered that you think need addressing now? I intend to do the lion's share of the GMing - all of it if you want. But Leif suggested he had some GURPS Cyberpunk material -...

Potential issues Changing systems, and potentially genres, between games presents a number of challenges and imposes some restrictions. The Eternal Champion concept allows for some flexibility in that not all 'incarnations' are necessarily possessed of the same abilities, so only the core...

Background The original idea for this game came about some time ago but didn't start to move forward until recently. The following posts summarise information sent to the players to start the discussion. From: grufflehead To: Leif; Mowgli; GlassEye Subject: starting game idea Content...

This thread is for discussion of Grufflehead's 'eternal champions' game, featuring Leif, Mowgli and GlassEye. Some spaces may open up on a limited basis (see details posted for how this might happen), but anyone with an interest in the concept and/or useful suggestions/knowledge are welcome to...

Gruffle yelps with delight at the invitation. 'Thanks, friend', he says, before scampering round to the passenger side, throwing open the door and springing nimbly into the cab. He wriggles a little in the seat, before quickly scanning the various dials and switches on the dashboard, taking in...

Gruffle struggles to contain his excitement as he speaks to the man. 'Nice truck' he says enthusiastically, while running his hand over the grimy door panel. 'Only ever seen one of these in the flesh before. Have you driven the Mark IV? The power plant upgrade is supposed to have added 5 - 7%...
