Thanks for the review, I worked hard on this and its would be fun to see it in the new system.

Sure, make the mechanic understandable its the top priority, but  tell me when you will try to fits it. Maybe we will get new ideas how to make it less powerful.

Rowan was so surprised, he didn't notice the player at all. 

"So much new players!"  his face shine when he saw the group around here. "Its so fun to meet so much new faces on my first days. Hello Zeke, my name Rowan. Atem Nirhim Anashim Tovim" he add slowly  "It will be honor meeting you", it seems difficult for him to pronounce some words.

 

"Ok, lets start fighting!" he cheer and start running toward a group of three boars while is sword Hovering behind him.

 

 

~Wild boar 1: 4/4

~Wild boar 2: 3/3

~Wild boar 3: 4/4

"Ho god, could not believe though you are NPC" he murmured, his face blushed a bit as a big smile shown on his face.

He never got confuse between player and NPC before, this game is so good.

"Wa, you are not seem depressing at all! My name is Rowan Seni" he respond in friendly face "Most of people call me Rowan, you can whatever you want".

 

{can you describe how your character looks like?}

{no problem its time to add a bit of humor}

 

 

"Yes please. I would like you to teach me about skills" he answer, then frown his face a bit. Not in every game the NPC call you newbie.

He then open his inventory and saw 25 col and a boar eye's, he has no idea what they are used for.

 

Then he turn to the other player voice. Is that...a girl?  this game is definitely the best game he played so far.

Wait...but what if its not a real girl? its could be an old man that picked a girl character! I should act cautiously.

 

"Sure its will be great" Rowan smile. "I'm just learning how to play from this NPC. You will probably get boring from this".

 

~ obtained 25 col and one met

{I didn't spend any skill point, i just get in the game now I got 17 on loot dice! do i get something good?}

 

Rowan didn't hesitated, before the pig was able to get up he turn the sword in his hand and make a quick jump toward him then stuck the blade in

his back. The pig fail again and made a series of howls and snoring. Then he Push the blade deeper into it back until the

pig vaporizing into the air.Then a board massage appeared before him "Congratulations! You Level Up!".

 

{i really level up lol. btw i am level 2 right now}

 

~Attack success! 

~Enemy attack failed!

 

~Life: 17/17

~Orhalimi: 4/5

 

~Wild boar Boar: 0/5 - Death! 

 

• Rolled a 7 on the d10 (battle) dice.
• Rolled a 2 on the d10 (mob) dice.
• Rolled a 11 on the d12 (craft) dice.
• Rolled a 17 on the d20 (loot) dice.

{its that ok?}

"I could do it to. I though you will give me some value information" Rowan choose a boar that was separated from the others and start walking

to him, "You know like skills, battle techniques or tips..." talking to himself more then to the NPC "I will probably learn it later. I heard there is a glowing Swords around here skills that can be use".

 

Then Rowan waved his sword in the air and start to run swiftly toward the boar. 

 

{now seriously i don't know what to do in battle. I should just roll out and write the results?}

 

 

So, there is a really cool virtues and flaw that anyone puts in their characters. But beside that....no one care that I am really skinny or coward when i role the dice. 

 

This is a known issues in a lot of role play settings  ^_^

But, the FATE roleplaying system come with a great idea!

 

ASPECTS

 

What is aspects? aspects its a unique....definition for character (and possibly other things) that can be used to make the game more 

dynamic and interesting. Like our flaw and virtues.

 

Its working like that, every player got a limit number of aspect points that can be used to make one side of him shine for better result,

or reduce is results to get the points back. Every aspect can be used to get better results or get aspects point back, its just need to

be in role-play and make sense.

 

I will give an example (my English is not that good, but don't let it bother you):

 

 

I got 2 aspect points and 4 aspects (flaw and virtues): i am Nimble, Dumb, Perfectionist and Friendly. 

 

lets say I fight with a friend, and we are fighting a mighty NPC.

 

The NPC attack me in with a strike that can hit any normal person. but I am not normal person, I am Nimble.

So i decide to give myself +1 to role by using 1 aspect point.

now by using my nimble aspect of my character I describes how she avoids in the last moments.

 

Lets say I am attacking now, and I want to make the perfect strike (Perfectionist)! But by trying to make it perfect i make the strike

even worse.

So now I decide to give myself -2 to roll. now I got 2 aspect point back plus cool describing of me trying the perfect attack and fail.

 

Lets say now the next turn my friend attack. So before my turn end I use my Friendly aspect to cheer him up,

and pay 1 aspect point to give him +1 to his next attack.

 

the last example will be using "bad" aspect to get good result. I can say the NPC try to outsmart my moves, but I am to Dumb, so its

kind of didn't work out like he expect and I got to myself +1 to defense (by using anther aspect point).

 

I hope you got the idea.

 

Aspect point don't refiled without using them to get negative effect, but they will return to the max points allowed if you pass it in the end of the scene.

Also to prevent ambush we can say that players got aspect points by making the subtraction number meaningful for the result.

The different between hit and miss, between critical and normal hit and etc..

 

In Fate system peoples use aspects for everything. players have aspects, boss have aspects and even items got aspects.

More than less, the gm can use the player's aspects to make the battle interesting and pay him aspects points.

 

But I think for us it's better to start with player aspects only.

Boss and items are part of the game, the only dynamic things around here are the players

(and the gm involving doesn't seem to work to much in play by post games).

 

So....What do you think? :smile:

Ok! now i get it (going to mark this post).

Because the skill tutorial give a wrong idea about the parry (I understood that I can put points into that) and didn't mention that i can put skill points into evasion. 

Actually its sound fun if I can get bonus to blocking only if i am parry ^_^

 

Thanks a lot :-)

"Yes" Rowan answer slowly, he is doing a good work by preventing his accent to interrupt the system commands.

"I am ready", he add again, not sure if he support to add this sentence or not

 

 

From what i understood Evasion is really hard but can give you counter attack, parry use your battle die and blocking its hoping that he will get low result :P

So fix me if i'm wrong, parry is a post action that automatic reduce the damage by half if the enemy manage to hit. 

Then i can try to counter and make half damage to (even if the enemy miss because its count like a good parry).

So...if i get parry level 2...the enemy get -2 when he try to hit me while I am parry?

 

Evasion just add to my chance to get away passively without any disadvantages if i am not parry, but i can take only 1 level on it.

 

And blocking its just the bonus that i get from the items?

 

Sorry for the mess I making for you ^_^

Rowan Couldn't believe his good luck. a NPC swordsman, ready to teach him the game.

As the NPC walked toward him he realize that he will have to talk with him in english, I hope the system will catch my accent .

 

Rowan wear a a long white leather shirt and a blue pants. The system call it "Cloth Armor", he called that crap.

His hands were covered with black gloves and one of them was holding a black sword with red sheath.

 

"you show up really fast!" he smile at him. He probably not understanding me.i need to use keywords to active it.

Rowan smoothed his hair and grab his sword with both hands. "I'm  ready to start" he said very slowly, hoping to sound to sound clear as possible, "Lets Fight!".

Thanks Cindel.

this document help me a bit :-)

I was hoping to find there more about battle technique, Especially parry and evasion.

 

Can't for the next update, keep it up.

(I think writing the floor number in the quest title will help a lot to ^_^)

yea that sound right.

 

I looking for a note that will clarify the battle for me. Especially the different between parry block and evasion.

I think got the idea but there is result list for that rolls right? 

 

 

The sun was in mid-air in the green fields outside.

Rowan walked calmly while waving his sword in all directions.  "Ani Lo Yahol Lehakot Leshahek" he though, 

feeling the sword in his hands was like his dream realized before his eyes.

 

Rowan looked like an average boy with brown hair scattered around his head, warming countenance and deep brown eyes.

He has already spent 10 full minutes inside the game, Of those five in the Beginner's Town.

He got sick of it fast. A lot of depressing and lacking in humor players and are thrown all around the corners.

Such a good game should not be wasted sitting idly at the bar.

 

He didn't buy anything, read the instructions manual or look at the map. 

Simply pulled out his sword and went outside, hoping to understand how to play in this game.

 

{I am a new player so anyone who want to help me improve my roleplay / show me how battle work is welcome}

Hey guys, i'm only 2 days here and already love this site.

You made a really cool staff here, keep it up!

 

 

Also i though about 2 things that can improve the experience of the users around, especially the new fellows.

 

1. First, all the rules are really great and seem cool. But my problem is that feel like they are scattered around the forum with million of post ><.

 

I mean, I read  almost all the tutorials then i discover some new rules in the floors section. then I find out a new rule support and feedback forum that all the items should be list there.

 

Also there is a legend about "all in one" post that should explain the most of the mechanic, the link is broken and i couldn't find it :-(

 

I think the best think to do is to list all the links to relevant rules, post and examples for new players in one pose.

More then that, make an example post about RP fighting while using block, parry, evasion and even looting. All that while showing the roll number result. I still didn't find out the the parry and evasion result list ><

 

2. One more cool thing that will make the things around here more awesome, Its to write near each quest in the title in which floor is the quest. Like OOP\PP that you made. Its will make thinks more cool around here.

 

All this suggestions is a feedback and not criticism. You already made a great site and its deserve more views.

But right now its not so newbies friendly , and I think you could lose potential players because of that.

I wouldn't stay if I didn't like RP and SAO some much and had some RP experience.

 

that only my though from my experience here so far, so don't get me wrong  :-)

Beside of that I already though about a great idea for the mechanic. I will post it around soon ^_^

That's what i said, killing should be arrange with the player, or else its not really nice (or with really good RP reason).

 

And....about the items ?

Speaking of question....how many item i can carry without skills ?

 

And how player killing work? someone randomly join to OOP and start killing people?

Hey, am good to RP with anyone. but i am not so good at it :-)

Sure! i made character yesterday but it fall because i need to upgrade my flaw

not sure if they are not deep enough or not good enough

Username: orhalimi
Real name: Rowan Seni
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height: 1.76 m


About (History/personality):

 

Royan born in average family in Israel.

He lives there and he had about almost everything he need.

He found some insignificant work around the area, looking for his own way in life.

 

But somehow it's not-so went to him. he felt different, not like everyone else. All this journey of chasing the money, school and university wasn't him at all. 

Lucky, it didn't break his spirit, and he began to search in other places: religion, spirituality, and hobbies.

But the thing that made him really happy was PC games.

 

He still felt like a child, enjoys archery training and kills Orcs with the sword. And when he heard about

SAO. He was among the first gamers who bought it on his country.

 

Finally a real world .... not as this relentless dream. Not like seemingly pursuit after the uncaughtable  in the horizon.

"Finally....a reality"

 

"LINK START!"

 

 

Virtues:

 

Friendly: he doesn't look like a threat and not many hated him. he is a good listener and a friendly fellow. he has the ability to make you feel comfortable.

 

Optimist: he got a good optimistic look on the world. It's hard to depress him and easy to cheer him up.

He does not need a reason to be happy, he inside SAO, the coolest game in the universe.

 

 

flaw:

 

Amnesia: He fought everything...almost everything from the last year he was trapping in this game.

Interesant

Uncharismatic :he doesn't look bad, he just . From the first look he is looking like no one, noting special, noting shine. It's hard him to convince people to listen to him or follow him.

 

Childish- He has a very childish perspective on the world. He is naive, believe in tales and sees everything as a part of the game.

 

Tongue-tied : English is not his main language. He came from Israel and he knows well how to speak Hebrew.

But it doesn't help him in this massive online game, when (almost) everyone around communicate in English.

Sometime he feel that its not fair, he can barley express himself compare to other players, and sometimes they even get him wrong.
 

 

 

Virtues and flaw:

 

Leader spirit: those who will follow him will discover he is a great leader. He knows how unite people and make them feel they all important. Everyone has a role and everyone is part of something big  If they just let him lead them.

He got a talent for this, But sad part is that it remains a spirit .he doesn't know how to take the leadership, 

they will have to give it to him.

Ok thanks a lot :smile:

 

I edit the title so i can ask some more questions:

 

1. What prevent the players from refresh the page everytime to get good results? 

 

2. And one more thing, I got some basic about the character creating and things around, but i saw players here rp

with themselves and decide which monsters and loot they get. how they know which monster they encounter? How to act in battle and what loot they got?

I mean, the world its SAO world.

But what about the outside world? am I playing someone that bought this game and got trap like the anime? or you guys made something special about the background? 

Yes, its will be nice to make some contracts in my background.

Right now the mechanic seem a bit complex, but I believe I will get used to it

Hey hello everyone.

My name is Or and I'm 24 from Israel.

 

I really like SAO and RP (in the next weekend will manage MAGE larp on Israel :-)!

I'm also like piano, games, anime and more geek staff.

 

I want to join to...this, but my English is not my first language so I wonder if I got a place here 0_o .

 

BTW this forum got Q&A? because i didn't understand how all this things work here >_<

 

that all ^_^
