Thramzorean Posted May 5 Clone Share Posted May 5 (edited) Hit points? Traits/Drawbacks? Spheres stuff: 3pp okay? Any specific no-goes like Oaths? (no Vancian magic in a Dying Earth themed game - loving it 🤣) Edited May 5 by Thramzorean (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Samreeth Posted May 5 Clone Share Posted May 5 Is catfolk okay? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namo Posted May 5 Clone Share Posted May 5 (edited) Are custom traditions OK (with DM approval, of course)? What about Advanced / Legendary / Exceptional Talents? (note that there would be only a few available at this level; but this can impact planning of a build too) Edited May 5 by namo (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no Vancian magic in a Dying Earth themed game - loving it 🤣) Max HP all 3 levels, then 1/2 Max +1 thereafter (4 HP d6, 5 HP d8, 6HP d10, 7 HP d12), 2 Traits, or 3 with a drawback. 3pp spheres content allowed after GM approval. No Oaths/Aristeia. (The irony being totally lost on me until just now lol) 7 hours ago, Lex Samreeth said: Is catfolk okay? Yes! Catfolk could conceivably be Violetlander para-humans created to serve the Cat Lords of the Violet City, or Steppelanders unrelated to the various magic felines, or something else entirely! 7 hours ago, namo said: Are custom traditions OK (with DM approval, of course)? What about Advanced / Legendary / Exceptional Talents? Yes, and Yes! Custom Trade Traditions have blanket approval.

relekorlagunis Posted May 6 Clone Share Posted May 6 Would Android be an acceptable racial choice? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be a human offshoot of the para-human Spectrum Satraps, the only surviving part of a polybodied Porcelain Prince, one of the Violent Mechanisms (colloquially known as Vomes,) or something completely different!

TheGSE Posted May 6 Author Clone Share Posted May 6 Also, I kind of meant for my advertisement to go live on the first of next month instead of end on that date, so forgive me while I fill out the setting details. The core game concept I need the players to have their characters buy into is the goal of reaching the Black City, whatever your reason. In service of this goal, you have joined the caravan of the Cat Lord known as Jaya, who intends to be the first of his kind to open a trade route between the Violet City and the Black. Players can download a player's guide to the UVG here. It's mostly mechanics you won't need to bother with, but does include factions of the Grasslands and a brief synopsis of the various points of the crawl.

Perhaps they are Redland Wine Vampires, or a result of faith in the Blue God, or a secret third thing!

Whitehart09 Posted May 6 Clone Share Posted May 6 Could I use the Soul Weaver Spheres class but instead of souls they are colors? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Doctor Posted May 6 Clone Share Posted May 6 Is a Collective Wraith something you'd be willing to tolerate? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namo Posted May 6 Clone Share Posted May 6 (edited) The Collective Wraith would match pretty well (though not perfectly) with Porcelain Princes from the setting. Quote The defining features of the Porcelain Princes are their masks, obscuring their bodies’ original unique identities, and the fact that they are one personality and soul with multiple bodies. Pretty close to your GETE concept, I'd say. :) But of course the mechanics are something else, pretty complex.

It's mostly mechanics you won't need to bother with, but does include factions of the Grasslands and a brief synopsis of the various points of the crawl. Do you have any more information on the setting or lore? I've read through the player guide and it is mostly mechanics (like you said), but I can't quite get a handle on things. People live around a circle sea, there is a long plain and then a black city. Not really enough for me to understand who we are and our place in things. I tried the random prompts from the guide and got a Decapolitan ambassador (what is the decapolis?), driven by sheer industrial greed (does this place have an industrial economy? Factories, technology? What kind of resources?), carrying a translucent dinner plate-sized force disk (what is that?). Also, how much of the game will reflect the player's guide? Should we expect a survival-focused exploration game? Or are you just using the setting for your own thing? Will we use the equipment listed in the guide?
