[Melkor Lord Of ALL!]

Actually, I think my final arch-nemesis was the God Emperor.

Nemesis? We were allies, remember? It's not my fault you volunteered to become my slave.

Rokugan IR died because there was too much math involved. So, shall I make a poll where to place next IR?

The math wasn't really much more complicated than the math used in the 3rd IR. The reason it died was probably because the DM (for unknowl reasons) lost his interest in the game. I was only one round away from completing an artifact that would have made my armies invulnerable, after that I would have pretty good chances to wipe the rest of the faction off the face of the earth.

Oh, I love WOT. But what about magic coming to earth? In open, not like Urban Arcana.

If it wasn't for the danger of people reacting ooc and nationalistically if bad things happened to their real world home-land that would be a great idea. Perhaps it would lessen the risk if we placed the game in the past, rather than the modern era.

I think the math was part of it. I can imagine that it was a damn lot of work for CS. Add to that that a number of players lost interest in the game...

I wanted to direct all the clans into action against the Shadowlands, so my shugenjas get a good chance at cleansing it, maybe get rid of a few candidates for the place of emperor and place Isawa Akahita as near to the throne as possible. Of course, I failed miserably to keep the clans from infighting in the first place, or to travel to distant lands for fighting their own fights...
Oh, and I might have gotten away with elevating one of my NPCs to godhood, or nearly so.

As for a new IR, I'd be for Eberron, or at least, I'd be if I had the book yet. A near future IR could also work, and dispel a few concerns (and most likely create a bunch of new ones).

I think the difference is that the Maths in the 3rd IR to be frank mattered a hell of a lot less, Edena improvised a heck of a lot with a passing nod to maths,Creamsteak crunched the numbers and lived by them, that put a lot more strain on CS for much the same results. The maths should either be simpler than the IRs or we should just admit its a game of DM whim and let the DM arbitrate as desired.

The very second I finished reading your spreadsheet with all your PL working towards an artifact, I think I said something out loud along the lines of, "Damn... it's over already."

That was part of my frustration. PL calculating wasn't bothering me so much... but I just don't think I could handle it at the time. A lot of proposed epic spells weren't working for me either...

That said, I would enjoy running/participating in a different kind of IR. I'm not really sure on setting (I wouldn't like real world stuff because I would feel horribly ill-knowledgeable), but I could see possibly trying out Eberron. Would be nice if we could get an all consuming game master like Edena though, even though it frustrated me to no end that he basically ad-hocked every decision, I still couldn't wait for more and more and more.

Yep, real world world is too challenging to me, and to be honest I don't enjoy modern world games so much. It woudn't be Industreal Revolution anymore but Magical Revolution and that's IMO horse of different color.

So any idea where Edena is nowadays? Anyone want to point him this thread.

Not to push him to moderate another game of insane amount of work, but just for old time's sake.

Hey everyone!

A friend of mine saw this thread and let me know about it. Sadly these days I'm to busy with everything to do much enworld surfing, or even RPGs in general these days :-(

In any case, I'm off to college next year for Physics, so I suppose I'll see how things go then.

But it's good seeing you all again!

Really nice to hear from you too.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Been seeing this thread around just not motivated to post in it Still lame as usual. But for the rest, still rpgin with Janos/ HOSkoteinos and Venus and currently studying law.

And as for the girlfriend thing, I got one aspiring for Queen bitch of the Universe

Now we're just missing gnomeworks and Unvenelie or something. Maudlin has gone missing several years ago. Darkness however is still supposed to be a moderator around here.

I am seriously considering if there is the animo for it to start an IR up, not with all the math involved, just a bit. And with handling stuff through email that is secret (works better is my own experience). Is a bit of work but... Anf if possible co-host it with someone like Janos or something. (I'll let him handle the math and rulestuff Each to his own aye?). I'd like that in any case but it would be earliest in september or something and would need the neccesary preparations.

Offcourse we could have a map created, some nations appointed on it and everyone to create their own people and nation from a wholly personal point of view and do away with the whole human dwarf elf thing. This is one of the ideas most appealing to me to do away with the whole basic D&D principle to begin with for such a game. Or start on a existing campaign world like Erberron allthough I know #%@ about it as of the moment but might be compelled to look into it.

I'll check in here a bit later again.

Live for the Swarm!!!

(And btw yeah Serp and anab we played the field kinda a bit too well in the end Sucker all do-gooders )
