>>36294244
This is a fantastic goddamn idea, and I recommend everyone look at it.

We said we'd restrict the +bonus to 3 and under at character creation, though.

Items! Glorious items, it was what we were discussing.

That image in the OP made me remember Facilier's sweet mask that he materialized in that song.

Would Masks give +1 to deceit or persuasion depending on the design?

>>36295013
His mask is enchanted, though. Why would a mask make you more persuasive?

Playtests are hosted here; https://app.roll20.net/join/585117/yX0x1w

I'd love to hop in the playtest as long as it doesn't disrupt anything. Is that a possibility? Character is a monkey Charming Guy that was already submitted to the forum.

>>36295034
Deceit, I could see. Hides facial twitches that give away your lies.

>>36295064
We're... kind of nearing the end of the line.

>>36295034

Is it? To me it kinda sounded like he materialized it to put on a scarier show. Because, y'know, musical number.

And a mask with the right design could be awe-inspiring, or just make people less nervos. I know that sounds a little counter intuitive, but a guy with a good expression and voice control, with an innocent-looking mask could probably pass as a trustworthy guy.

Also, remember: Mirror Kingdom. Most characters coming from there would come with facial scars, and so far they've given penalties to Persuasion. Maybe masks would be a way to mitigate that bonus, at the cost of taking up an item slot?

>>36295083
Okay then

Any idea when the next one is?

I said I wasn't getting a name 20+ threads ago, but fuck it. I've made enough of an impact.

What I've done:
>Initially brought up Pirate Lord Hook
>Fluff and songs here and there
>Japan Fluff doc
>Character Creation doc
>Asked what if we split up physical and social Strikes and I'm really fucking sorry
>Brought us back on track with Item creation and two traits

>>36295079
I could see a mask giving +1 deciet. Persuasion makes no sense, though.

>>36295092
Mitigating the penalties from being hideous could work, though. Negates the -4 from Scarring but gives a -1 to persuasion due to man in a mask being kind of untrustworthy?

>>36294778
Good traits, I'll 'bin these when we update the traits pastebin.
Remember: +2 for Diamond In The Rough, and requires at least a +1 item for Not The Face!

>>36295013
More like intimidation...

>>36295117
You're really only supposed to namefag for the point of easy navigation of your work, mate. Nob, Knightfag, Dread and Sverd are the only namefags with a valid reason for their namefaggotry, because they have continous and ongoing work that's easier to figure out with names.

>>36295127

So basically, a +3 to persuasion?

What if...

>White Mask: Takes away half the penalty a character might have if hideous or facialy scarred

I don't know about you guys, but I would have a lot of fun making different masks with different bonuses and effects. For some reason, that strikes me as amazingly fun.

That sounds more like a GM fiat thing though. If you guys are up for throwing up some fun mask ideas I'd appreciate it, but it's clearly not the essential

>>36295201
I'm sure as hell not going to stop you from adding more things to the game. Go ahead, worst that can happen is we'll find some of it unbalanced or nonsensical and take a few out or rebalance them.

>>36295199
Then I guess he needs to step up his game and start producing stuff to live up to it. He's put in a contract with the Friends, now...

>>36295201
Many cultures have shamans and magicmen don masks to aid their magic powers.....a mask with a bonus to certain Occult applications?

>>36295201
>>36295237


>Demonic Mask: -4 to Persuasion, +3 to Intimidate.

>Totem Mask: +2 to Occult is trying to contact spirits. -3 for Persuasion

>Regal Half-mask (Covers only your eyes and upper face): +2 Persuasion against nobility.

For that one I was thinking about things like those masked balls and stuff. Doesn't make much sense, but eh.

>Beast Mask: -5 to Persuasion against non-beast characters. +5 to persuasion against beasts

>>36295288
All of those are gr8 except for the Regal half-mask, which doesn't really make much sense. You'd just look like a tool. Still, it's DISNEY, so it could work.

Requesting song topics to stop me from writing another song about Sverd.
I know there's probably a thousand unfuffilled requests but I need a constant reminder of what people want songs about because I am forgetful.

>>36295288
Drop the bonus and penalty on the Beast Mask to 3, and it should work. Try to avoid huge bonuses unless it's a plot item or literally magical, which is rare and hard to come by.

>Trial and Error: You receive a mild bonus (+3/4?) to any skill test you've significantly failed this session.

>>36295201
>We Wear the Mask!: When your face is covered, you can be anybody. As long as you wear a mask, you can apply a +1 bonus that stacks on top of whatever bonus that mask gives normally.

>>36295222
Cue "The Shadow Man went down to Georgia."

>>36295334
You must take Judas Priest's "A Touch of Evil' and rewrite it so that it's about Sverd and Elsa's wonderful and terrible bedroom adventures..

>>36295402
Oh come on, that doesn't even fit with either of their characters.

>>36295435
'A Touch of Frost' or some shit like that.

And no, we'll never let you live this down.

>>36295365

Fair enough. New ones incoming!

>Thief mouthpiece (Think that whole "tissue over mouth" thing from the arabic places):
-3 to all Social Rolls against merchants. +3 to Intimidate against merchants. (Possibly also a diplomacy bonus against other thieves)

>Blank Mask: +2 against Insight. with the right level of Craft, can be transformed into any other mask.

>Innocent Mask: +2 for deceit if the target is not hostile.

>>36295459

>Blank Mask

>No One was, in fact, just bullshitting everyone with a really good mask and god-tier drawing skil

>>36295452
That could mildly fit with their characters if we go under the assumption that Elsa instantly stops being elegant and regal when alone and that Sverd turns into a whimpering pile of shit during the same time. I'm still not going to write it, though.

>>36295459
What does an 'innocent mask' look like?

>>36295452

What, the TV show?

>>36295508

Write about characters going over a training regimen A-la "Make A Man out Of You"

>>36295508

Smile!

A non-creepy smile.

Probably drawn godly to be the best and most sincere smile ever put into anything

I took a quick look at the rules for Beast characters, and I have a suggestion.

Trait:
Beast of Burden: +1 to Robustness, and +2 to Robustness for the purposes of carrying loads.

>>36295508
I think your interpretation of the song is quite different from mine then, where the touch of evil is merely dominant and kinky.

>>36295523
There was a show by that name?

>>36295556
I believe we already have two reenditions of "I'll make a man out of you", neither written by me, and I've written two separate songs about training or inspiring an army. Also two OTHER songs about the PC's army rousing themselves at a final showdown kinda thing.

And I quote.

"I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame

In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil

Aroused with desire
You put me in a trance
A vision of fire
I never had a chance"

>>36295201
I like it. Ideas incoming:
Surgical Mask: +3 to Science rolls for the purposes of healing physical Strikes
Bandanna Mask: +3 Stealth in the Wild West
Lifelike Mask: Requires a high Craft skill (rolled with Agility) and expensive materials to make, but lets you look like anyone you've had the chance to study. Works for one person, can only be worn by one person (has to be molded to an individual face)
Captain's Hat: +3 to Intimidate non-captain pirates, but Captains will see you as a rival and the EITC will kill you on sight
Admiral's Hat: +3 to Bluff non-captain members of the EITC, but Captains and above will call your bluff and have everyone attack you and all pirates will kill you on sight

>>36295615
Yeah, that just sounds dominant and kinky to me. What's it sound like to you?

Also, 'a dark angel of sin' is pretty much the best thing a lover can call you, is it not?

Literally every line is groveling to the un-named touch of evil or talking about how horny the singer is.
I honestly can't think of something Sverd is less likely to do.
Except maybe be an asshole to somebody on purpose.

Dark Angel of Sin is also probably a horrible insult to Sverd.

>>36295708
>ragnarok online

>>36295724
Don't worry, I have plans. How does obedience to the Queen he is sworn to sound?

>>36295651

Just because Sverd is a sub doesn't mean he turns into a begging slut when in the bedroom

>>36295724
Perhaps, but I'd personally LOVE to be called a dark angel of sin.

>>36295750
I refuse to endorse shipping or smut of any kind, especially of my own characters, but if you had to make some that'd be the most logical way to go about it.

Does that include converted/overthrown Kings? Because I don't see Jafar giving anyone a doggy treat anytime soon.

>>36296026
.......who is the true King of the Hunters? The Man?

>>36296046
It'd be The Man. If it was Muntz that'd be one goddamn easy goal.

>>36296026
I'm thinking of him becoming a Hero when the party overthrows an evil king and the new good King pats him on the head.
>"Good boy, Floofy."

>>36296072
He'd be a Hero when he proved himself as a superior hunting dog. Hero goals are there to give your final direction as a PC. I hope your second one is a little more long-lasting

Did we ever decide that players had to Tier Up at once? I thought that was a good idea.

>>36296101
Yeah, pretty much everyone agreed with it. Really helps out party cohesion.

>>36296101

Yes we did.

>>36296101
>>36296118
>>36296145

Does that mean that everyone only tiers up once every goal is fulfilled, or does every goal have to be fullfilled at the same time?

Thse later could be problematic

>>36296174
>every goal being fulfilled at the same time
Yes, we decided that people should have to take down multiple different Kings halfway across the globe at the EXACT SAME INSTANT or else they could never tier up.


It's when every goal is fulfilled.

>>36296174
Your group tiers up when everyone's completed their Zero goal to On-a-roll, and when everyone's completed their On-a-roll goal they tier to Hero.

Well, yeah, I know. I'm saying theoretically.

On-a-Roll: Earn the title of 'Good Boy' from a King.

FIRST OFFICIAL 40 OF THE GAME
WOO WOO

Sverd nervously approached the gates to the throne room. This was his moment. He could restore peace to the land. He had trained for months, and prepared the perfect thing to say to his Queen. Elsa had been... broken ever since the death of Anna at the beginning of the Great Frost. As he reached for the doors, Sverd felt something deep inside him, something that he barely ever permitted himself to feel: pride. He was going to be the restorer of Arrendelle and bring honor to his clan once more. He flung open the doors, prepared to see a tattered ruin of ice and snow. Instead, he was met with a beautiful throne room, with small snowmen flitting about, polishing silver and cleaning the furniture. Also, it was warm. Surprisingly so. He found the source of the heat, four large fireplaces, all lit, and though it strange. By all accounts, Elsa was unaffected by the cold. He looked around and found her, wearing a beautiful purple dress, off in a side room, talking to an ice sculpture of the legendary Princess Anna sitting on a snow pedestal.
“Visitors coming, visitors coming,” she muttered to her icy sister. “Now I be alone. I get lonely now. But I’m not really alone. I have you. You’re just… quiet, that’s all. And cold. But I’m cold too. We’re all cold here. The last time I had someone warm to talk to was back before…” She faltered, a shadow passing over her face. “Before the way things are now. There were a few, though, but not anymore. Now they’re cold too. They thought I was being bad, but I was just being me. Being me is hard. It’s lonely. But I still have you! I’ll always have you, even if you are quiet now. I tried to make you loud again, but it was wrong. I made another girl who just wants to be you. She’s cold also. But now we have a visitor! He will be nice, and noble, and pure, and won’t think I’m mean at all! It will be great! We’ll have so much fun!” Elsa turned around, seeing the armor-clad knight. “There he is!”

Transcript for the third playtest: http://pastebin.com/sWj8Y87v

some notes: we need to divide up exactly what the difference is between Athletics and Acrobatics. We need to decide if Legerdemain and Mechanics can both be used to pick locks. We need to decide how throwing explosives works.

That's about it. Pretty entertaining session, though. Not sure when the next one will be -- probably Saturday, but no guarantees.

>>36296673
Could you... could you write the song? I couldn't do it justice

I love that this started out as joke smut, and now I want to write a legitimate story about Sverd restoring Elsa's sanity.

Tip for Small/Tiny characters-- Scurrying up someone's pant legs as a distraction or attack is a perfectly valid move.

Also, when will the next playtest be?

>>36296713
I already have m8

Song archive is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oQniqbLaTCF7V19fnXP0_zUW7GFr3ESziGM6U5mEcC0/edit?pli=1

"The next Ten Minutes" is set up for this, and "I still believe" could work as well. I haven't written a song about the actual speech because I think that's something that would be better put out in, y'know, a speech.

>>36296704

Oh, yeah, you never specified rewards, man. Or is that resolved next game?

>>36296730
never mind, missed the announcement

>>36296704
Athletics - Burst down a door, push your way through a crowd, win a foot race, throw a javelin, win an arm wrestling competition, etc.
Acrobatics - Chase someone across rooftops, balance at the edge of a cliff, dance, weave your way through a crowd, dodge an axe above your head, pole vault, etc.

>>36296798
they aren't really continuous since this is random scenario playtesting, but here;
Everyone gets ~$2000 in atlantean money (so 1920 dollars). Bart gets 6 Lessons, Vergil gets 4, Jermiah gets 6, Raymond gets 6, Anitelu gets 5. 3 for escaping 3 dangerous situations, any others for completing your Ideals.

For next playtest, we should make sure to test character development, as that is an area that we haven't really tested at all. Also, let's try to make more novel items that do more than boost a stat.

>>36296900
That kind of requires multiple connected sessions, which means I need more than two days so that I can plan a campaign and finals are coming up so that could be a bit difficult. We'll see.

A shame these tests always happen during the afternoon. Between evening classes and 2nd shift work, I'm SOL on the playing front.

>>36294966
New to the threads. Are we using Fantasia? Does Satan rule all, having crushed those annoying bells? Have animated brooms overrun absolutely everything? Who got the grapes?

>>36296977
Well, what time would be good for you then?

>>36296995
The only thing we're using from Fantasia is Chernobog, I think. But yes, he's puppeteering the whole world to be an existence of constant torment to amuse him, allowing heroes to rise and inspire then be crushed by the cruel world.

>>36297024
Late night, like around this time onward.

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor: No story.

The Nutcracker Suite: No story, but stuff like it might happen in the Fey lands or in the Aurora's territory.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice: Mickey might be dead, Yen Sid has stuck around but he's lost a lot of his power.

The Rite of Spring: The dinosaurs stuck around. They've got their own island now, even!

Pastoral Symphony: Doesn't really have a villain besides Zeus being a jerk. Hercules might have overwritten it.

Dance of the Hours: It's just a musical performance. There might be a traveling music troupe of hippos, elephants, ostriches, and crocodiles, though.

A Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria: Should be pretty obvious.

I'd like to remind everyone that I have once again tricked a group of playtesters into spending three hours beating up a wizard and his minions.


>>36297121
I should probably actually put up the rules for Chimeras, shouldn't I?

>>36297196

But at the same time, you're also demonstrating legit ways to incorporate magic in the setting.

You win some you lose some.

Sverd, would you mind if I wrote a couple songs for Sverd? I'm thinking of converting a couple songs from Next To Normal, because they just fit the story of Elsa talking to frozen Anna so well.

That's all Polynesia is, a group of very small islands, all too small to be shown on a map of the world, and all very far apart.") and his piratical exploits and lifestyle ("Contrary to popular belief, the Pirate Code isn't actually a collection of rules or laws.....they're just guidelines, to tell you the truth.").
>Captain Anitelu and Bart steal an Atlantean submarine.

>>36297196

If you could please post those rules. I might try and spend tomorrow creating some example characters and reworking some of our old examples that have been outpaced by the ne crunch. It might be nice to have a small stable of premades to offer as examples to be dropped in, ready made.

>>36297258
Hmm... I'll take a look.

>>36296567
Maybe because it's one of the most DISNEY AS FUCK pieces of fluff we have.
Think about it:
>Honestly good, handsome knight meets damsel in distress
>consoles and inspires her as she moves back into an elegant, graceful queen
>eventually understands that he needs her much more than she needs him
>go on to save the world

There's so many elements of DISNEY in that.

>Street rat turning a pistol in a hand grenade, disarming bombs like a pro and making a perfect roll to drive the train
>Talking Guinea Pig doing all the occult legwork, disarming bombs, picking lockpicks and scurryig up a bad guy's pants to bite him in the nuts
>Cowboy shooting bad guys, talking down bad guys and fighting on top of a running train like a real cowboy
>Polynesian pirate captain taking down a man with a strongbox, bagging himself a waifu and pumping the BBEG full of holes
>Angry drunk pirate throwing people around like ragdolls, tanking like a boss and going WWE SMACKDOWN on the bad guys

>>36297217
You mean like the magic incorporated into every piece of Disney media with a very few exceptions?

>>36297342
And then we've turned it into ice-whip femdom.
God damn it.

I never really saw it as whips and shit, just Elsa making parts of her body really frosty to Sven's shock and her amusement. Maybe some ice-bondage. But that's it.

Hm. Should probably add that you share the locomotive method of both your base animal and your altering animal.

So there you go. Noncombat characters can be useful. Just don't skimp on Agility if your Robustness is low.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the paddles.

>>36297520
I think we're over it now. Hopefully. The last few threads have been kind of lacking for fluff.

>>36297520
we don't have any fluff but we haven't been lacking crunch. try scrolling up literally one page.

>>36297538
cry me a river that you don't get to play a super speshul magical snowflake

>>36297541

I don't know, a couple threads ago we were just making characters, talking fluff, and had a pretty good time.

>>36297538
>(Also ignoring the fact that Disney protagonists are very, very rarely in groups of more than 2 or 3)
Adaptation hiccup.

>>36297389

Can the size shift be optional?

What if we took the Genie race power (manipulate 1kg of matter) and made it into a Will powered magic wand? It would be nowhere near a starting character, and would probably need Occult to use properly.

Other conditions can be time limits (until midnight) or limits on types of mater (no lead into gold).

Also, I'm not a wizard. Fuck wizards.

>>36297583
Sounds fair. What kind of occult check/rank would you need for it?

>>36297583
Works if you have to spend a Will point on it. I'd say that's a mid-tier item to be found in an Inner Circle's possession, though. Occult TN25 to use?

>>36297577
I.. guess? It really depends on the GM and on you -- if you want to stay at your size, who's stopping ya?

Once the weekend arrives I will hopefully contribute a good amount of fluff to these threads. I've burnt myself out a bit in the past couple days, and I know that several of our more polished writers are also incommunicado for a while, which has lead to a slight drop in fluff production.

I suggest that we add modifiers to people's defenses. For instance, a strong huntsman might be hard to intimidate because they wield so much power and have so much bravado, but easier to persuade, because they are dumb

>>36297445
I was thinking more some light bondage, just being very dominant, maybe some spanking

>>36297618
Please, let's just let the frozenshipping die. It's getting a bit weird.

>>36297541
I've been trying man. It's been a pain to write all these in my phone. Or does rumor mill not count?

>>36297643
Eh, maybe we just need to leave it alone for a bit. It's still hilarious if you don't get too deep into it.

>>36297541

Yo Sverd, here's some fluff that I don't think has been put in the catalog yet:
Coctail Hour: http://pastebin.com/JzXuezMF
Scars: http://pastebin.com/7HgGxELg
We also missed this one:
Ursula and the Giant Lobster: http://pastebin.com/0i56Ma8C

>>36297643
Is it now? I think it got wierd after it outlived a thread. Yeah, I'm done with the shipping though. I do like the personality for crazy Elsa that I made though.

>>36297675
I am not sure why you're linking that to me, I don't catalog the fluff. I just write songs. Thanks for finding bits of fluff we missed for Plane to archive, though!

>>36297675

Or Plane Crazy. Or whoever does fluff catalog.

>>36297644

While Rumor Mill is all right, story fluff is always appreciated as well.

>>36297675

Cocktail Hour is in the catalogue under the name "To the Hunt" near the end.

>>36297608
>>36297612
You guys are alright with that? Yeah, TN25 is fine. I just forgot to put my name back on.

Going to bed. Fight the power and get shit done, anons and names. Peace.

>>36297675
Renamed To the Hunt back to Cocktail Hour for your convenience.
Lobster added to the pot.

Has anybody updated the Traits and Powers lists for character creation? They're pretty old, especially considering how many new ones we've gotten done.

And maybe even a rudimentary items list?[spoiler}

>>36297832

Thankee much, man.

>>36297832

Thanks for compiling everything. It's been great being able to read through everything.

>>36297867
Nope, but I'll do that tomorrow.

>>36297867
>>36297877
No worries, least I can do for the project.

>>36297913

I feel ya.

Hopefully I should keep my work going apace on the Almanac.

Question: should I just incorporate the Villain Rumor Mill into that? It seems that so many realms are influenced by who's ruling them.

How are other tech gaps addressed besides Atlantis vs Everyone Else? Do the European kingdoms import rifles for their military? Does Agrabah have a secret television network to watch all of Genie's favourite pop culture from America? Do pirates have ironclads?

Also what's up with the way Japan is split up.

>>36297952
A unified rumor mill would be pretty spiffy.

>>36297966
JAPANESE
CLUSTERFUCK
The spirits that are totally-not-from-princess-mononoke have control of the mainland. Everyone has to kind of skirt around the edges -- the forests are large, and the animals hungry.

Tech gaps; I think we're just not bothering to explain it. European kingdoms are almost universally ruled by magicians who don't want rifles in the hands of their populace, and Atlantis has a tight grip on tech production as it stands.

Pirates don't have ironclads, but only because their ships FLY.

>>36297966
Guys with less technology typically have more magic. The Horned King keeps Prydain a place that's backwards even by European standards, but he is a noteworthy sorcerer and possesses vast legions of the undying Cauldronborn.

>>36297907

Don't forget-- I made an EITC Setting Trait:

Cut The Red Tape: Your knowledge of the bureaucracy decreases the time needed to navigate it.

Spend a Will point. Gain +5 to Deceit or Persuade attempts against members of the ruling government. (Kings and Gods excluded).

>>36298051
Did we not agree to the convention that anything involving will points was going to be a power?

>>36298155
>>36298051
>>36298155
OOPS

Sorry about that. It's actually listed as a Power on my character sheet, but I just typed it out wrong.

>>36298234
Ah, I see.

Anyhoo, about to head to bed, but one thing I forget: what do new traits and skills (upgrades and new) cost in lessons?

>>36298259
Depends on the progression speed.
assuming medium:
Medium Progression
Skill: 2 Lessons; Trait: 4 Lessons; Attribute: 8 Lessons; New Power every 10 Lessons.

>>36298295
Thanks.

>>36297643
Just wanted to say thanks to Nob for stopping the shipshit. Taking a PC and moving it into magical-realm land isn't cool and just drives off new people who see that shit. I'm not sure if it makes it better or worse that the actual creator had nothing to do with the shipping, but it's still shit when it moves from comedic elements to writing fucking smut and discussing how exactly this one PC someone else made and an established character would fuck.

Sorry, felt this should be put out there though.

man this thread is dead.

>>36299004
All the namefags are asleep and the spammers are upset at shipping being frowned upon now.

Anyone still up and working on something?

>>36299238

Atlantean writefag here, still plugging away. Should have something done when it's done--schedule for the next couple weeks has cleared up as this week's run its course.

Did we ever actually decide on throwing explosives and thrown weapons in general? That shit needs to be expanded on.

>>36299452

It happened in the 3rd playtest without any problems.

Gonna start writing as soon as I pour through this transcript. Which might be a while.

Accidentally forgot the most important words

>>36299806
If it's just starting danger and not boss levels, then:

Easy
- Mirror Kingdom
- Sultanate of Agrabah
- Pleasure Island
- Land of the Leopard
- Island of Naboombu
- EGHC
- The Free Creatures
- Kingdom of the Red Flower
- EITC
- Imperial Republic of Atlantis
- The Sunless Empire
- Royal Colony of Virginia
- The Old West

Middlin'
- Land of the Bear
- Archidocesis
- Fae Lands
- Pridelands
- Sher Khanate
- Shadowlands
- Pirate Kingdom/Never Never Land

Difficult
- Kingdom of the Cauldron
- Olympus
- Arendelle
- Dino Island
- Hunnic Empire
- Subjugate of Kaa
- Spirit Realm
- El Dorado
- Ursula's Islands

Poor Life Choices
- Japan

Death Flop
- Bald Mountain
- The Charred Lands

>>36299806
I was going to make a map for that, but then school happened
Low:

Virgina
Atlantiean Republic
Sunless Empire
Hunter's Club
EITC

Agrabah (Desert)
Sherlock Khanate (Jungle)
Spirit Realm (Magic Bullshit)
Shadowlands (Deals)
Pridelands (Famine)
Land of the Leopard (Jungle)
Neverland (Lawlessness)
Pirate Kingdom (Lawlessness)
Mirror Kingdom (Surveillance)
Land of the Bear (Bear)
High Danger
Arendelle (Cold)
Olympia (Titans)
Fae Lands (Fairy Bullshit)
Archdiocese (Inquisition)
Eldorado (Jungle, Homicidal Xenophobia)
Kingdom of the Cauldron (Black Fog, Skellingtons)

Kingdom of the Red Flower (Jungle, Fires, Hypnosis)
Pleasure Island (Hypnosis, Transmogrification)
You dead:
Bald Mountain (Chimbochumble)
Charred Lands (Firebird)
Of course, it all depends. Cities are safer in places like agrabah, less so in the Archdiocese. Capitals are always very dangerous, because you're very close to the king.

Many thanks friends this will help the party immensely in figuring out where they wish to go

>All of the fluff is about "Sverd"
>Who the fuck is Sverd, I haven't seen Frozen, is he from that
>Sverd is one of the writers

This setting came so close to not being a circlejerk.

>>36300561
Sverd's the only guy writing fluff, and nobody else had any ideas of what he should be writing about. He's expressed multiple times that he wants to stop writing about himself.

>>36297107
YOU FOOL! NOW YOUVE SUMMONED HIM!

So, has anyone else noticed that we all change into paranoid assholes around 9pm GMT and don't change back until the morning? What's up with that?

>>36300623
Gremlins, no doubt.

Why do we have three goals?
The first goal lets the character go from Zero to On-a-roll.
The second goal lets the character go from On-a-roll to Hero.
What does the third goal do?

>>36301211
It's something you aim to do once you're a Hero. It also has some mechanical effects, but just read the 1d4chan page and everything will be clear.

>>36297024
And the Firebird and the Dinosaurs.

>>36301509
Just checked the 1d4chan page. It's not in the Goals section and it's not in the Tiers section. Where is it?

>>36301631
Acting in accordance with your goals let you regain Strikes and Will Points. Also, it gets you Lessons. When you are a Hero you can'advance further, but satisfying one of your goals still gets you this.

Do Katanas exist in the setting?I would say not but I'm 100% sure

>>36302258
A few of them don't really need changing but You've Got a Friend in Me and God Save Emperor Francis obviously do
Does anyone have any other suggestions for anthems?

>>36302246
It's a jack-in-the-box. I don't think he's going to be conquering much territory.

>>36297538
Different segments. You can't seriously claim that just because they're in the same book of short stories, W character from X setting and Y character from Z setting are clearly both in the same setting and should be able to interact with each other. Hell, the rules of their universes might be completely different.

>>36302287
Sure. Unless he's actually a player in the Under-Empire. Then he might have SERIOUS power: he's larger than most of the inhabitants, and willing to be a dick if it get him what he wants.

Also, Power of Friendship could be a thing.

Also also, Hundred Acre Wood when?

>>36302354
Kaa's got Christopher Robin hypnotized into imagining all sorts of playful cuddly creatures for him to eat, kid's a wellspring.

>>36301971
I think it's intentonally vague, but you can totally get away with using Goals too. After all it's not as if you fulfill hem all that often.

>>36302354
>Hundred Acre Wood
Sevral threads ago: we talked about it a lot.

>Disney movies only
>No spooky supernatural Rasputin led Russian Empire

>>36302413
The general consensus is that the "dark power" he kept bringing up was the Flaming C, and he's currently sitting at the foot of Bald Mountain having a lich party.

>>36302394
Oh, alright then.

I kinda looked at the first thread and went "eh, too silly". Then you folks went and proved me wrong.

/tg/: getting shit done. Again.

>>36302442
I would like to imagine he is persuading his lich buddy Frollo to crusade into Russia

>>36302452
>Frollo
>Having anything to do with witchcraft
Surely you jest?

>>36302455
But Rasputin is a monk first and an evil wizard second. Frollo wouldn't suspect a Christian Monk would he? It would be unbelievable to him that a follower of Christ could be a wizard

>>36302455
>Rasputin
>A sorcerer and not a Saint of the Holy Church.
Those green flying things are angels, anon. You don't see it? What, are you some kind of. . . heretic?

>>36302476
>>36302462
>Implying Frollo is a good Christian

He would see a bit of magic and go straight to witch burning. Also, Rasputin was a shitty monk and would definitely not be the kind of person Frollo would consort with

These threads have been somewhat exhausting to keep up with, but it's most definitely been worth it.

>>36302493
>Frollo hates magic with a passion
Nob's identity is finally revealed.

>>36302575

Frollo also hates anything fae, inhuman or even vaguely unusual. Clarisse the Beast would be hunted down by his Inquisitors if they knew she existed.

>>36302493
Frollo is a smart christian. He's also a lich that worships Chernabog, so being buddy with another Chernabog's priest doesn't seem like such a stretch.

Items should be split into three categories:

Zero items are common and provide small bonuses. Perfect starting gear.
On-a-Roll items are rarer and possibly magical in nature. Powerful, but they often have drawbacks and conditions to them.
Hero items are one of a kind. Thier value is immense. Like Excalibur or the Lamp.

>>36302915

Is there the possibility of family heirlooms included amongst a starting character's gear? Like an On-A-Roll item passed down through the character's family or perhaps stolen or "acquired" in some other way? I fully agree with your item system, I'm just curious.

>>36302928
That would be up to the DM (Disney Master) to decide.
Personally, I would say either
>No, or
>That and nothing else.

>>36302975

That's definitely fair. I remember that there had been some talk several threads ago about giving items "prices" based on the bonuses they give, with the price equal to the bonus. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but if it is, I think that would make the idea of a character having an heirloom item of some kind more possible, as the "price" of the heirloom would mean that the rest of their equipment would have to provide lesser bonuses to compensate.

>>36302997

For example, a new character is allowed to start with six points' worth of gear. They could either have three two-point items, or a four-point item and two one-point items, spread between armor, weaponry and accessories.

So what is locked in and what is still up in the air?

>>36298295
Do you use the lessons up? I mean, can people get 2 traits OR an attribute or 2 traits AND an attribute with 4 lessons

Going to try and get some writing done at work again today, and will keep archiving and starting threads as needed.

>>36303045
I suppose they are like spendable points, yes.

>>36303045
Yes, you can spend Lessons how you want.

>>36301866
You're the best, Plane Crazy.

>>36303010
>>36302997

What are we going to do about items like horses and boats that provide benefits that are not in the form of pluses to skills? Stick with our convention that if the GM doesn't raise an eyebrow at it, you're in the clear?

>>36303767

I'm not really sure. I don't perfectly recall the conversation. Maybe modes of transportation like horses, boats, Atlantean Autos and the like are best left to the DM's discretion.

Maybe something like each character is allowed one mount and each party is allowed one vehicle?

>>36303767

Well, horses and boats are not the same kind of mechanically game changing equipment that swords and armors are: the GM should just let the players have the necessary means of transport.

>>36302061
>>36302301
>>36302286

Wasting a cent to post at work and tell you that it will be done.

FINALLY SOME SONGS TO WORK ON

>>36303901
>>36303902
>Maybe something like each character is allowed one mount and each party is allowed one vehicle?
An elephant could carry the entire party and a motorcycle could only carry one or two people. For insurance against rules lawyers, better we say that each character can only have one form of personal transportation and each party may only have only form of transportation that can carry all of them and possibly more.

Also, thought I just had: what do we do if a player wants to be an animated object? Like, anything between a teacup and a fullblown ship?

>>36302590
They do, as far as I know.

Did we record the rules for Chimerae? I need them for science. Science and playtesting.
Also, anybody near GMT willing to run a game this weekend? We britfags want to play as well, and we can't go at night, we're too busy manning the fort against paranoid fuckers who think every new person is a wizard.
>>36304045
Come on, I think we should have SOME limits on races. Like, I know pretty much everything can fit into a Disney movie or a fairy tale setting, but RPGs aren't movies or books. Lord of the Rings would be a terrible campaign.

>>36304045

That's a really good question. I could see enchanted objects as characters, but they would have to be limited in their enchantment and their size, perhaps. They would also have a slew of disadvantages as well, but might be really interesting to play. They could have a natural trait to "hide in plain sight" as well.

>>36304045
Animated objects are going to be hard. Not sure how to implement it.

>>36304176
Well, if you give me a GMT that would be good for britbongs I can try to run one Saturday. It's just difficult because no one is running playtests but me.

>>36304367
Mind running a game from 4 until 8 GMT? Preferably text.

>>36304397
I'll see what I can do about 4pm GMT. That's 11:00EST, and running for 3.5hours would put it at 3:00EST. Workable.

>>36304176
>>36304230
>>36304367
Even if we don't leave it open as a PC race, we should still have rules for them in case the players find themselves in a certain castle in France or some shit like that.

Another few item questions I just thought up: some items have benefits in the form of pluses and some drawbacks not in the form of minuses. How do we determine their effective values?

Robustness requirements, for instance; a greatsword you use Robustness for anyways and the bow's requirement of 8 Robustness isn't much to ask for, but the shotgun's Robustness requirement of 10? There are a fairly limited number of builds for which a shotgun is the superior ranged attack option, and perhaps we can reflect that by having its bonus be effectively one lower for the purposes of starting items.

Then there were some items that had drawbacks with no numbers at all, like the pirate captain hat that gave you +3 to intimidate against non-captain pirates but caused other captains to consider you a rival and for the EITC to mark you for death. Sounds like a net zero item to me; should we have all items with non-numerical drawbacks have drawbacks so severe that they feel like net zero items?

Can we think of any non-transport items that have benefits that are not pluses?

>>36304465

You're really making me think in this one. Crunch and mechanics aren't my strong suite.

>>36304465

Well, if a character has a pen/pencil and paper, they should be able to take notes/write down what they see.

>>36303045
You spend them, but record how many total Lessons you've earned, every time you reach a certain interval of total earned Lessons you get a new Power.

We may want to up the requirements for a new power on the medium progression, one every ten seems... fast. That's like every other session, given that in all the playtests so far we've run into ~3 dangerous situations, and ~2.3 is the average lessons per person.

>>36304176
Chimera rules: http://pastebin.com/B8SkUwWB
If either of your animal choices could fly, you can fly.

>>36304839
Many hands make light work, even with unskilled ones.

>>36304881
Right, so how big a deal should a non-numerical item be before we start putting rules or guidelines on starting the game with it?

finally back
what happened to the concept of magic? id thought we were starting to make progress with it and discuss how to make it viable and disneyfied , i come back and the first thing i see is
"Lets Calm Down" as if Spergwar 3 has just happened.

did we just continously rage and make polls until whoever wanted no magic was happy, because they had D&D PTSD?

i just think its a wasted opportunity that a world that uses magic almost as much as wizards do, and is often seen or described as "magical" cant have magic in its mechanics.
feels like such a wasted opportunity.

>perhaps try it again once were done with the base?

im suprised we havent sperged over items yet.

>>36304995
You mean other than the repeated shitstorms started by trolls who want literal caster-edition wizards in? The ones who went around rigging polls?

>>36304995
Feel free to come into the IRC room where we're discussing magic options. (By which I mean the room people forgot existed after I mentioned it, and I'm still waiting for some company in there.) We can start working properly on a magic expansion together, fellow magicbro. Don't discuss it here, though, you'll make people mad.

but this is what i didnt get

we have undead skeletons created by a cauldron, we have merlin who is a literal wizard who would no doubt try to teach any good soul hed find magic at this point
we have frollo who for no reasons other then it happened to rasputin + badassery is now a lich

yes no-one should start with magic, and yes it shouldent be like d&d because it was never like d&d. disney has the excuse for martial heroes to do amazingly op shit.

the point is that we have learnt from d&d's failings and after seeing the amazing work everyone here has made, we are clearly capable of making it balanced and limited.
are we going to let one fucking terrible mess of a system not only ruin but prevent every possibility of magic in any game in the future.

clearly not, given some of the magical work i've seen around here.
There's no good way to balance that number of options without breaking the other classes or making it something impossibly dangerous, difficult to acquire, and especially; LATE GAME.

then limit the magics power/crunch,make certain magic types work only with certain roles, or just see the concept at a different angle in terms of what types to have.

You helped make the crunch, you are clearly one of the best people to figure out what number can make the difference between useless, useful and caster edition.
dont dismiss it just because people dont have the same foresight as each other.

anyway good luck with the items, il see if i can sort out the magic problem
what were the specifics that annoyed you with peoples ideas/solutions

>>36305217
My personal ideas, as the current anon working on the magic splat, were that magic would come in two forms for players: Items, which would generally cast support spells and be useable by any character, or Alchemy, which was mostly a Smart Guy thing, not because others couldn't use it but because you needed to be smart.
For example, Jafar wouldn't be a wizard, he'd be a Sensible Guy with a Serpent Staff that granted him the abilities to cast Scrying and Hypnosis a limited number of times each day. Meanwhile, Grimhilde was a Smart Guy who used Alchemy to make the poison apple and her Magic Mirror to cast Scry an infinite number of times each day.

>>36305254
Oh, and Jafar had an Artifact in the form of that scarab. Artifacts being powerful items that are unique, almost indestructible and basically just plot devices. For example, the Cauldron.

>>36305299
I'm using Mibbit now. Network is AsyloIRC, room is #DVVmagic.

>>36305355
your room/channel hasnt appeared

>>36305426
Just go into chat, select that for the network and type in #DVVmagic for a room. If that doesn't work, shit.

I know we talked a lot about the big villains, but what about henchmen?
Are Jasper and Horace still working for Cruella?
Is Lawrence kicking back on benefits from his deal with Facilier?
What about the LeFou, the Stabbington brothers and all the assorted minions?

>>36305862
Rumor mill it!

Very nearly done with a Mahrikatohka origin story, but thinking I may save it for the next thread. Bumping in the meantime.

are shadow servants people who have literally given up everything including humanity; mind, body and soul to serve the Friends

So, I have a question - are Toons going to be considered another species? Whose working on that splat right now? Anyone?

>>36307311
we got rid of toons a few threads ago

>>36307399

Yeah, that's what I meant. Is there anyone working on it right now? My assumption is that it's totally on the back burner, but since we've been discussing items and the magic splat, I wondered if there had been more thought put into it.

>>36307430
We've been focusing on the items and magic. Because wizards.

>>36307454
And magic items. Because wizards.

So, in the next thread, can you include a link to Mibbit and the chat room address #DVVmagic as well as saying the network is AsyloIRC? We need more people working on the magic splat.

>>36307454
>>36307486
Oh Christ, have we reached the sanity curfew? Is this the part where the thread turns into a war between trolls and Wizards?

>>36307278
I view the Friends On The Other Side to be the major spirits of the Other Side, and the shadow servants to be the minor spirits. Mind you, I also think that there's a massive range of power within the Friends; the most powerful are comparable to a lamp-bound genie, while the least powerful can only cause things to happen that could have happened coincidentally.

>>36307488
We could. Why? Its a bit of a side project.

>>36307518
Because you're nice people and also because you don't want new guys who want to be wizards provoking the trolls when they could just be redirected from the start.

>>36307503
>between trolls and Wizards
>saying that as if Wizards and people pretending to be Wizards were not the trolls themselves

No, we haven't. Magical items can certainly be included in core, so long as we're reasonable about it. Magic items like Jafar's staff have to be hard to obtain (impossible to obtain at chargen) and if they aren't just a stronger version of a mundane item they must require an Occult check of 25.

>>36307598
No, I'm saying the way that every thread after a certain hour of the day seems to turn into "random trolls accuse any new posters of trolling and then shove them out, enforcing a secret club mentality." You're guilty of this yourself, I've seen your posts.

>>36307657
I assure you, that is just us being paranoid about wizards. If new guys are willing to get with the program, then they should be welcomed, for there is absolutely no reason to turn them away.

>>36307712
Then stop being paranoid about wizards, man. Seriously, if you know you're doing it then stop doing it.

>>36307657
Maybe it's because around this time the trolls come out to bait paranoid people. It's not use turning people away: it's them.

>>36307733
We must keep our guard up or they'll destroy everything we've been working for. This project is too important to let a couple of wizards obsessed troll destroy it.

>>36307749
So, you just assume anyone who walks into the thread being curious is a troll? How paranoid can you get?
Besides, even if they were trolls, maybe if you didn't take the bait then they'd go away.

>>36307787
Then ignore them. Do not take the bait. Instead of taking the bait by yelling at the bait about how much you're not taking it, just don't take it.

>>36307733
It's a reflex at this point. If a beloved family member flicks their hand in your face, it doesn't matter that you know damn well that they would never hurt you, you're going to flinch.

I really wish that the wizards had never come to this thread, so that I, and others, would not have this fear and would respond to every new idea with a courteous manner and no hesitation.

>>36307805
>>36307840
So now it's our fault? Do you have any other critics you want to make? Maybe something about how we need to add more magic options or change some rules?

>>36307787
You let them destroy it by paying attention to them. Think about it. We could have been writing fluff, making rules, finishing the game, getting this done even more than it already is. Instead, we were arguing with each other.
>>36307854
You could just do it anyway. There's nothing stopping you. Just think before you post reflexively. Once you've typed up your insane rant on why somebody's a troll without any real provocation, just think to yourself "Do I have enough evidence for this conclusion?" Innocent until proven guilty, bro.

>>36307886
You see what I mean? Somebody critiques you about something, and you assume it's a troll.

>>36307919
Maybe it's because most of the time you are trolls.

>>36307919
And if you weren't a troll, you'd shake your head and leave us to our errant ways.

>>36307955
>>36307958
Good comeback, nice job, way to go.

>>36307854
Still, that flinch is something that happens instantly and reflexively. Unless you instantly and reflexively type up a paragraph on why somebody's a troll, you can stop yourself, answer their question in a civil manner. If they keep flinging shit even after that, then yeah, they're a troll.
>>36307958
I'd love to, but I have an interest in seeing this project finished. Also, wow, you just went from normal, pretty cool guy to paranoid dickwad in under ten minutes. Are you an internet werewolf or something?

>>36308004
>>36308009
And now the mask of the reasonable poster is slipping, showing us who was behind it all along. Are you hapopy now? Does coming back here, day after day, just to troll us, make you feel any better about you pathetic lives?

>>36308004
You don't offer constructive criticism, you don't offer new ideas, you deliberately brought up a controversial issue without acknowledging the reasonable compromise we've found for it and you don't acknowledge that the presence of an actual troll leaves our behavior semi-irrational at worst. Why should anyone give you the benefit of the doubt?

Is it alway the same guys? It's alway around this time of the day: everything is going great and then suddenly BAM, a couple of retards start making stupid suggestions and criticizing everything we have done.

>>36308054
Both of those posts were within one minute of each other. There is no way that they could have both been the same person. Also, one is me and the other is an even bigger faggot than I am.
>>36308100
I've been offering constructive criticism and new ideas throughout the threads, thank you very much. I'm not nocturnal. And for the record, there is a troll. It's >>36308004. That doesn't mean he's every single poster.

>>36308125
Always the same, always at the same moment: one or two trolls desperate to destroy us in anyway they can.
>>36308100
Always the same ideas, always the same posting style, always nagging about this or that, trying to sound reasonable and wise and caring, always asking for the befit of the doubt. Fuck that, we know it's them.

>>36308147
It's not exactly easy to tell anon from anon, anon. Hell, that's why there's so many namefags in thread in the first place.

>>36308166
Have you considered that I'm one of those posters and just don't believe the other guy is a troll? I have a habit of expecting the best of people, I admit.

>>36308195
It's possible to tell if two posts are from the same guy, though. Just look at the time when they were posted. If they're within one minute, different people.

>>36308166
>>36308196
>>36308215
No, I already know there are two of you: there were two of you yesterday, there were two of you the day before that and there will be two of you tomorrow. You have been haunting us since we rejected the generic fantasy idea.

>>36308266
I've been here since before that. I just saw some guys coming in and didn't immediately assume they were trolls. You guys do what you want, but you'll isolate these threads and prevent new people being interested. To prove the point that I'm not a troll, I'm just going to stop replying and stop trying to end the paranoia. I can see logic and reason won't get past you. I'm trying to convince Cold War America that not everyone in Russia is Satan.

Maybe some actual discussion of mechanics and fluff will stop the constant arguing. You guys think we should stat individual types of mook or do you think we should just stick with the generic templates? Because the current templates say nothing about resurrecting or being immune to persuasion, so they can't be used for the Cauldronborn.

>>36308325
Well, goodbye then!

Anyhow, magic items. We accepted the idea of a magic wand earlier; it copied the genie power of being able to manipulate 1 kg or so of matter, and required a TN25 Occult check. So how do we scale up the Occult checks for more powerful wands? +5 for every doubling of the affected mass?

>>36308408
I could see that working. By the way, I bring news from the magic splat on our interpretation of how magic items should work:
We have a spell list, but you need an item that can cast a specific spell in order to use it. For example, you can't cast Scrying at will, but if you possess a Magic Mirror, you can. We also believed that with most items, anyone could use them. That way, we don't deny magic items to people with a low Occult skill.

>>36308370
I'd say give specific mook types specific traits, if it warrants that.

A better question; should Lackeys get one action or two, like PCs?

I think this wizard paranoia has gone a bit far: just say that magic isn't being debated right now and give them the reason. If they go "hurr durr apprentice Mickey", then you can disregard them.

>>36308370
We never did get to the Cauldronborn, did we?

The consensus so far is that the rate at which they resurrect is dependent on both how they were destroyed and how thick the mist is in the particular area. So I think that every area is going to have a mist number that calculates how long it takes for the Cauldronborn to come back, and that every strike beyond the first adds a multiplier to this time (2 strikes takes twice as long as usual to revive, 3 strikes 3 times as long, etc.)

>>36308408
>311 / 20 / 47 / 5
nice idea

bump limit reached

>>36308370
Straight from the 1d4chan page:
>Depending on who they are working for, Mooks may also have all kinds of weird and mystical abilities. After all, the demons that make up Chernobog’s army are hardly normal thugs.
Are you so desperate to stop use from finding you out you can't even read the entire rule before criticizing us?
>>36308408
Finally some peace. Now, do you think every wand should have its own fixed TN, or should there be only one wand of that kind and the higher your roll the more matter you can influence?
>>36308473
>spell list
>scrying
shit nigga what are you even doing?

>>36308513
Calm down. You can only cast Scrying if you are in front of and staring into a Magic Mirror. You can only cast any spell if you are using a magic item. For example, your magic wands you were discussing would let you cast Telekinesis.
>>36308513
Yes, and we haven't statted a single one of said mystical abilities. Now, shall we make a game or keep flinging shit?

>>36308553
Then start statting, so we can see if you are actually trying to help us or if you are just here to troll us into losing more time.

>>36308513
Not sure about the wands; it could go either way. Maybe all wands can influence more matter the higher you roll, but any wand might have a limit on it where you can't use it to effect any more than a given amount of mass.

As to the spell list, so long as it's just a list of effects that fit the nature of Disney magic, we have nothing to worry about. Taking a look at it myself, though.

>>36308635
You better do that, Knight: I may be willingful to give them the befit of the doubt they keep asking for, but we must be careful with that we allow them to get into our system.

Is there gonna be a Nightmare Before Christmas Nation?

>>36308680
Technically, it's among the lines of a pocket dimension, but yeah, Bug Day is the only holiday now.

>>36308680
Everybody celebrates Bug Day, anon! Don't you want to celebrate Bug Day?

TOUGH. SHIT

>>36308680
Nightmare before Christmas is specifically not on earth. It should have a seperate plane, like hell

>>36308680
>>36308730
Dream Realm. We already decided that a long time ago.

>>36308757
Speaking of dreams....are there any Straylafags about? If nothing else, magic will be a potent tool of the wicked, and I for one would like to know what sort of magic the Aborigine Dreamtime could throw at a party of PCs.

>>36308757
Oh ok
By the way, you know what we should add?
KEYBLADES

>LEL I TROLL U
Go away wizards, you're drunk.

>>36308831
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting

>>36308831
Yes, we should have keyblades....the players should find them in the hands of the long-dead skeletons of the fools who tried to defy the Kings.
