Call to the Four Lands

[Neurotic]

Mowgli

I know nothing of HERO system and have no literature about it.

I told others, you didn't join at that time, it may happen that I cannot post for several days to week in a row as I have baby twins at home. That's the reason I started PbP.

I don't realy have so much time as to learn whole new system.
I'm interested though, if you give me basics, I'll create character and let you fill in rule details that I missed...
I'm familiar with D&D, AD&D, GURPS 3 and GURPS Gulliver rules.

Summary like this:
GURPS is point based systems in which advantages (feats), disadvantages (flaws), skills and attributes are all bought with points. So, let's say you have beginninh character (100pts), you spend 15 for Combat Reflexes, 10 for each of six stats (11) and additional 20 for health (CON) and STR - both on 13. You have basic soldier, depending on skill selection he can be soldier, ranger, scout or combat oriented thief. No classes. No alignments.

EDIT: I just 'wikied' HERO and it seems awfuly like GURPS. I'll have no problem integrating so: what about fantasy races, what templates, what's technology level of your world etc. you know setting description...also, is there tool for character creation?

Neurotic -

I'll get you info about the world - actually, everything is taking place so far on a 'continent' about the size of the state of Arkansas. I need to take care of a few 'household duties' - supper, bath time, reading books, etc. then I'll start to work on some history stuff. If you're interested after you take a look, we'll start talking character.

I've got a character sheet I did (actually, took one done by a guy named Michael Basinger and heavily modified it). It'll take care of most of your calculations, etc.

I'll put the stuff on MediaFire and post a link so you can download it, when I get a few minutes.

Neurotic,

Here's the link to the OOC thread for my game - I'll put info there so as not to clutter JA's thread unnecessarily:

Clutter

Go ahead and clutter....not really an issue in the grand scheme of things and it does allow me to have a window into the pc's mind so i can plot future mayham.

PC Mind

That's very thoughtful of you Mowgli.

That's very nice of you, JA. Didn't you get enough feel of my preference for customized rules?

Mowgli, even if I am interested, I'm not realy sure I'll get the time, posting from work on two of JA's games and reading two story hours is a lot when you have work intensive job and severe dead lines ...

But, I'll do my best

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

No worries if you can't - The group's a good size with or without an addition so don't feel pressured at all!

Divine Avengers

Here is a post i placed today in a recruiting thread. I have kinda had this idea floating in the back of my mind for about six months but I went with Southern Operatives instead of this one... In Nature divine Avengers is going to be all about finding and hunting down undead and bashing them as well as the occasinaly heretic witch or evil elf. I do know that time and the ability to post much less keep track of things is limited..but felt that i owed those of long standing a chance at the one as well. So if your intersted let me know...or if you can refer one or two people to the game it would be appreciated.

Recruting to the Four Lands
Guys

I currently have two very successful and interesting games going on in a world I created. The world is called "The Four Lands" but is not based upon the Terry Brooks "Shanarra" series. I just like the geograhpic lay out of it. It is a huge world with a varied time line and as I have recently done some more work to it a thought occured to me that made me want to start yet again a third thread. The two threads that are currently going are called "The Four Lands - The Great North" and The Four Lands - Southern Operatives". The new game i am creating will be called "The Four Lands - Divine Avengers"

Right now I am in a quandry as to what level i want to start this off at....for some reason 1st level is most appealing to me and I hope seeing that one of the games has lasted over a year players will be inclined to take a risk and start at first level. The other option would be to start at 15th level but I am having to do some serious thinking about that.

In character the game will have 4 to 6 players all focusing either on combat or a religious vocation. Posting will be in a 72 hour cycle which should allow for plenty of time for the players to think and post. Check out the thread "Call to the four Lands" in talking the talk and let me know if your intersted...please post all your comments etc in that thread.

Divine Avengers

JA, yeah, I'm interested! My preference will be to keep it as simple as possible and play a human fighter. Sound ok?

 

[J. Alexander]

Divine Avengers

Leif, yes that is my desire also thus the idea of the characters having to be oriented either as a fighter or a religious type. A rogue and or one mage type may be allowed providing the pc can come up with an effective argument...but with the limitations being two those two I think it will open up a whole new area of adventure one with the empasis being on divine magic rather than arcane. I also figure it will be a good mix of ole fahsion dungeon,graveyard crawling and some investigative work well away from the war and high politics of the current two games. So in that light I am going to start the characters off at 1st leve. with the anticipated start time of the game being sometime around Jan 15.
