Who else thinks D'rek's initial thought for this game was: "How can I use all the alts - ALL the alts?"

It's not like I pulled this completely out of nowhere... I had a vague idea of running it sometime and a couple jot notes written down somewhere with some mechanics ideas. Definitely nothing close to what we have now though. It's kinda fun winging it a bit on the setup

[Inane Babble]

I think a few of those alts in the other thread may not be player characters.

Just a guess though.

I was thinking of printing this out , taping it to the wall, then using a dart to place my vote.

Why when it is quite obvious when Fener is one of the alts..

[bubba]

D'rek do you have a picture of the map by any chance?

[Tattersail_]

Ignoring the Fener jibe hey Bub?

There is no map. It's just a list of locations. You can move from any location to any other and there's no special qualities about any of them.

[Path-Shaper]

A bar of light appears in front of you, and slowly widens into a luminous page. You and your Servant gather around it to read the object.

Let it be decreed that the Fourteenth Holy Grail War has now officially begun.

We, the Holy Order of the Grail, officially allege that all Servants have now been summoned. The classes present in this battle shall be as forth:

Archer
Assassin
Berserker
Builder
Demon
Duelist
General
Guardian
Lancer
Monk
Sabre
Sorceror
Summoner
Swordsmith

Let he or she who is worthy win this challenge and benefit humanity through their heart's desire upon the Grail.

Any speculation on who would best fit each role?

Ie archer could be Robin Hood..

[Inane Babble]

Archer - Robin Hood
Assassin - Hattori Hanzo
Berserker - Kratos
Builder - Daedelus
Duelist - Zorro
General - Zod
Guardian - Starlord
Lancer - Phantom
Monk - PI
Sabre - D'artagnan
Sorceror - Merlin
Summoner - Noah
Swordsmith - Hephaestus

Err, I don't think I am in the right ballpark here

Some of those are good guesses. Some are not

Heh, Noah as Summoner. "I attack you with two giraffes and two bobcats!"

[Path-Shaper]

Something to clarify for everyone:

Unless your actions say otherwise, you can do *every* action you have in the same phase that they are listed.

ie, if you have:

Quote

NIGHT

Summon Two Lions (magic) - stuff

Summon Two Anteaters (magic) - stuff

Summon Two Giraffes (magic) - stuff

You can get six animals in one night!


Furthermore, when the resolution order is ambiguous, I will resolve them in the order you supplied them! (standard Guard >> Heal >> Find >> Kill applies as usual though)


(from now on all examples are going to be Noah-themed)

How Noah fights:


You throw a ball of magical fire at him? "I SUMMON THEE PAIR OF OTTERS!"

Assassins come bursting through his windows? "COME FORTH, TWO SURINAM FROGS!"

Too powerful! Surinam toads would make all other alts die of disgust immediately!

Well Noah is the guy who saved the surinam frogs before dinosaurs and unicorns, so of course he is a sick mother fuc badass and has two of those toads in his pockets at all times. Especially in a city where there may be assassins lurking.

[Path-Shaper]

FYI - I have moved the Servant RPMs up into the first post of each PM thread (makes it easier for me to look up abilities). There's also a couple cases where I added the magic or divine tags to abilities that didn't have them previously (but should have).

Okay, heading home! I should be able to mod from home, just slowly (read thread on phone, update excel sheet on computer, bake cake intermittently) so you won't be stuck without me until tomorrow morning!

[Andorion]

Checking in. Took me long enough.

Heh, why mess around with frogs? Summon a couple of Black Caimans

[Gust Hubb]

Crow and parrot summon for me please.
