Hey there folks. Just popping around to see if there would be interest in an Overlord Quest being run.

Well, first, what's Overlord?

Overlord is a Light Novel/Manga/Anime currently in production that has a number of fan translations, who have currently translated up to Volume 8 of the series.

The premise for the LN is rather simple and common among anime these days - a player who stayed to the end of a DMMO-RPG (Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), a Virtual Reality MMO, is alone in his guild. All of his previous friends have moved on or remain only in word. He is the only player to remain to the final moments of the game. At 00:00, the game will end, yet when the clock strikes midnight he isn’t ejected from the game.

In a panic, he finds that the menus don’t work and all of the NPCs begin to gain sentience and speak, rather than the basic coding that they were given previously. It’s at this point when he (and the reader) find that the MMO has become reality.
>>
>not a quest for the overlord games
Every freakin time
>>
>>42557631
No offense but I'm 95% sure you wouldn't be able to do it justice.
>>
>>42557631
Eh. Wrong Name, fuck it! The show must go on!
---
Now. The Quest I have in mind would explore a bit more of the MMO aspect of things translated to the “real” world the player is transported to. You see, Ainz (the protagonist) begins at the maximum level of 100 for the game when he is transported to the New World, and as such he faces little resistance in his machinations for that realm.

Now, leveling in the LN is different than what most MMOs. Each class has a maximum level of 5, 10, or 15 depending on the class, and some powerful races have ‘Racial Levels’ they must take before even gaining a class, which reduces their versatility. Now, most of these mechanics have only really been explained in broad terms in the LN, so I would be taking liberty in creating much more for this. So, knowing the above, the player would begin with 10 levels of experience, perhaps having finished a beginner class or having 10 levels of his race or some combination of the two.

Furthermore, the player will begin with a ‘guild hall’, which is a dungeon that the player’s guild has cleared and turned into their home. Ainz’s hall is deep, has a multitude of NPCs of equal caliber to him, and much more. Our MC’s, however, would be a single level deep, with maybe one or two NPCs, and some basic defenses. In the MMO, it has been described that it is quite difficult to obtain a guild hall, but I imagine if our previous ‘guild’ had simply taken a low level dungeon as theirs, it’d be much easier.

Currently this is just something I baked up over the last week with some random thoughts, and figured I’d toss it out to see if anyone’s interested or had any input.
>>
>>42557653
Sorry bud. Maybe next time.
>>42557656
It's likely that I can't, but I can give it a shot. This is just something I want to do because my current tabletop groups are KIA.
>>
>>42557661
Just fucking do it, if you feel that you can do it well. If people like it, they'll participate. If they don't, they won't. That's how it works. There's not much point to an interest check thread if you're not going to be brainstorming ideas or discussing anything else.

Just make sure you streamline character creation so people don't drop out because it's taking too damn long to get to the action.
>>
>>42557661
If you're gonna go through with it, then I recommend not giving the players too much of a choice, putting up a couple starting race options with simpler races that you know what to do with(make sure they're aware humans have no racial skills but can get more job levels), and if there's someone in among the players who knows about the LN and suggests a different one that gets a lot of support then go with that.
>>
>>42557717
I never said that I wasn't going to? I stated I was going to give it a shot, and if people didn't participate I'd just let it die.

And character creation is probably going to be Name -> Race Type -> Race -> Class -> Martial Abilities/Spells

>>42557780
Likely I'd run with a selection going from Human/Demi-Human/Heteromorphic (Probably just call it Monstrous), explain the pros and cons of each in the post, then let the players have a selection of five from each of those, with write-in allowed. Classes from the LN seem to run the gamut, so I'd likely just toss up basic Vanguard/Cleric/Mage/Thief/... for the first class, and when the player levels up for the first time they can select where to take the level. I know that in the New World things are done differently on the surface, but keeping it close to how the LN explains YGGDRASSIL will probably help with streamlining the process.
>>
>>42557945
id follw the quest if you make it
>>
>>42557945
You seem like you already know more or less what you're going to be doing. Are you then going to use this thread to run it?

Are you going to keep running the thread past the end of the first session for those who want to stay on and refine the character's stats with Chair-level min-maxing?
>>
>>42558043
>Chair-level min-maxing
Including the fetishes?
>>
>>42558043
I might later, if it's still up in a few hours. I have a two hour drive here in while and I'd rather not run a thread for an hour, take a two hour break, then resume. At least not for the introduction.

If there's interest, hell to the yeah

>>42558097
It's a secret to everyone!

>>42558097
Yes.
>>
So. While I'm around, what races do you think we should have up for selection?

Currently I have -
Humanoid (No Racial Levels):
Human
>No bonuses/negatives, simply allows you to gel with society fairly well and blend into the New World because humans are the primary race.

Dwarf
>Reduced finesse and Agility and increased Phys/Mag defense

Elf (Wood/High)
>Doubly enhanced Phys/Magic Offense (depending on which you choose), and reduced Phys Defense & Resist

Halfling
>Increased Agility & Mag Defense, doubly decreased Phys Defense

>Write-In
...
>>
>>42558458
That's probably fine for human races. You honestly don't want to have too many options in character creation, or else there will be no consensus. If you have four races from each of the three types, that's already twelve options.
>>
>>42558625
That issue is solved by having people vote for the TYPE of race and then the race itself is a secondary vote, so you go from 3 options to 4 options.
>>
>>42558654
Who is best maid and why is it CZ?
>>
>>42558654
No Lizardman choice?
>>
>>42558684
Are lizardmen humanoids? I don't think so.
>>
>>42558458
>elves get phys bonus, dwarves don't

balancing is a bitch
>>
>>42558684
Those would be demi-humans. Humanoids are "Humans but..." races.
>>
>>42558676
[Spoiler]Solution best maid. Go die.[/spoiler]

>>42558684
Lizardmen are classified as demihuman(oids). Working on them right now!

>>42558705
Right? Dwarves will get some phys heavy racial classes though.
>>
When this quest eventually dies (which it will. They all do), somebody better drop an "alas, poor Yorick".
>>
>>42558458
To be clear, I plan on using a letter based system going from E->D->C->B->A->S, with minuses and plusses (Example: A bonus to a C attribute would increase it to C+, doubly would be to B-) though it is not mechanically thought out yet.

Demihumanoid (0-10 Racial Levels)
Goblin
>No racial levels, doubly increased Agility, increased Resist, doubly decreased Phys Defense, decreased HP. Hated by New World society as a pest.

Troll
>5 racial levels, increased Phys Attack, doubly increased HP and Resist, reduced Agility and Mana. Regeneration and Blood Lust as racial abilities

Minotaur
>5 Racial Levels, doubly increased Phys Attack, increased HP, reduced Agility and Mag Defense. Has Terrain Mastery II(X) and Gore as racial abiltiies

Lizardman
>No racial levels, increased Phys Attack and Phys Defense, reduced Mana and Mag Defense. Has Terrain Mastery I (Swamp) and Elemental Weakness(Cold)

>Write-In
>>
>>42558751
In any case, I'd be up for this is you do hold it, assuming that the time-zones work out. Make sure not to overdo it with the waifus though one or two is fine, and try not to put much focus on the actual characters from the LN's.
>>
>>42558676
>Implying Solution isn't the best Until EvilEye becomes one
>>
>>42558802
Are fey a thing in this setting? Ive never watched, so i wouldn't know.
I do, however, know that as far as unseelie go, dullahans are probably the most badass ones there are. Dullahan mc when?
>>
>>42558458
How about some of dem heteromorphic races that have to take racial levels?
>Slime
>Skeleton
>Ghost
>>
>>42558783
Yep. That's the joke. I've failed to carry two quests out thus far, though each has reached 20+ threads before I was suddenly slammed with a new workload and by the time I got back to the quest I had lost the creative spark/interest.

>>42558828
No characters from the LN will be making appearances in this quest.

>>42558837
Maybe if we have some sort of reincarnation mechanic. Things like Momonga don't work at the moment because he has like 40 racial levels.
>>
>>42558458
>>42558802
Out of these, High Elves and Minotaurs seem to be the most fun, though I'd readily support >>42558837 if it came down to it, since there IS a Dullahan in the LN's.

But honestly, I'd rather there be options for Angels, Demons and Dragons. inb4 we become evil Touch Me
>>
>>42558866
They're the next category! I won't be including ghost, but feel free to write it in if you want to.
>>
>>42558837
Supposedly in the MMO there was like enough playable races to fill a dnd monster manual.

The answer is, probably
>>
>>42558868
>I've failed to carry two quests out thus far
Which ones?
>>
>>42558828
Do ogres fall under trolls? What about mermen, scyllae, harpies and centaurs and other animal/human hybrids?
>>
>>42558930
Golem Quest and Lizardfolk Civ. Not recent ones, been a while because I felt bad about dropping them.
>>
>>42558802
Not so sure on the whole letter based system, but I could deal with it if we actually got an Overlord Quest.
>>
>>42558868
Momonga took racial classes in Skeleton Mage until he got to Necromancer and then Overlord. Nobody said you can't level your race instead of your class. Would be a good addition. Think about it, Race levels give you a more pronounced bonus on the race's boosts and maybe some race-specific skills.
>>
>>42557631
Fucking YES
>>
>>42558933
Why are you asking me?
>>
>>42558939
>Golem Quest
Oh, shit, I think I remember that.
If it's what I'm thinking of, I think I'm gonna enjoy this one.
>>
>>42558969
Misquoted. Meant to quote Yorick.
>>
>>42558894
>Implying evil Touch Me isn't the absolute best fucking thing we could make
I'm so pumped for this lol.
>>
>>42558802
Read as >>42558933, except not misquoted.
>>
>>42558933
I imagines ogres would have some intelligence malus as well
>>
>>42558802
Are you still working on the Heteropomorphic races?
>>
>>42558802
What would vampires be?
>>
>>42559157
They are undead, so heteromorphic, I assume.
>>
>>42559074
All are possible write-ins. I want to provide basic choices. If something is missing and it gets popular, I'll write it up after voting is done.
>>42559109
Mana mallus, likely

>>42559145
Yeap. They're a pain because of how complex they are with 10 racial levels. Just taking forever.

>>42559157
Heteromorphic. You guys ask about these guys right when I hit them in my write up.
>>
>>42559051
>>42558894
I was under the impression touch me-sama was some kind of living armor. What was he really?

also OVERLORD QUEST FUCKING YES! Cocytus bug race and slime girl race?
>>
>>42559195
He was a dragon, I assume. Pretty sure it's the same for Sebas.
>>
>>42559209
Sebas is definitely dragon/dragonborn/somethingdragonsomething, and Touch Me might be as well. I've heard some say he was human.
>>
>>42559195
If he was living armour, how do you think the armour stayed in Nazarick?
>>
>>42558802
These will be imperfect as I'm thinking of these as I type. They will probably have more abilities once I think of them.
Heteromorphic (10 Racial Levels)

Slime(Pick a color)
>10 Racial levels, doubly increased HP, Phys Defense, Mag Defense, and Resist. Decreased Agility and Phys Attack. Gains Form Mimicry(Imperfect), Resist Mundane Weaponry II, Resist Elements(Color Determines) Elemental Weakness(Color Determines), and Form Manipulation as racial abilities.

Skeleton Warrior/Mage
>10 Racial levels, gains Phys/Mag Attack triply increased (Warr/Mage selects), Phys Defense increased, agility increased, gains Resist Mundane Weaponry I (Blunt), Longevity VIII, Immune(Disease, Curse, Mundane Necessities), Spell Weakness(Divine). Further abilities chosen after selection.

Vampire
>10 Racial levels, gain Phys Attack doubly increased, Agility triply increased, Phys Defense Increase, HP decreased, gains Resist Mundane Weaponry I, Longevity VIII, Form Change(Bat,Rat,Wolf), Immune(Disease,Curse,Mundane Necessities), Spell Weakness(Divine), Blood Frenzy, Natural Weakness(Sunlight)

Posting these now since they're so long. Angel and Devil are next.
>>
>>42559209
>>42559195
>>42559243
>>42559235
Touch Me was explained to have won his armour as part of a competition he entered, and it was described as being almost to the level of a Guild Item. I would bet on him being some kind of draconic race because of his nobility.
>>
>>42559244
>Posting these now since they're so long. Angel and Devil are next.
>Angel and Devil are next.

Fuck yeah. Let's spec into healing and watch as we become immortal. Our way of dealing damage would just be hitting shit over and over while they're trying to do even a sliver of damage but failing, since our healing would out-speed their DPS.

I'm actually not caught up to where they're at in the LN, rather far behind.

>>42559296
Probably have them offensively oriented, with negatives on their defenses and a number of infiltration abilities

>>42559313
Aren't they at Volume 8, Chapter 2? Again, not caught up so I'm going on hearsay.

Devil (Imp)

>Write-In

Do note that a lot of these are going to have specialization options once we get to a vote further in, like the Devil’s Mantra. These are the base abilities for each race.
>>
>>42559496
Compared to other players with his equipment and level
>>
>>42559510
>Angel
Should read Angel (Angel). I know it's wierd but it's correct.
>>
>>42559510
Heteromorphic seems to be really great. For me, it'd have to be a tie between Vampire and Angel.
>>
>>42559510
Could you expand a little into the whole tier thing these skills seem to have? Like Longevity IX and Natural Flight III.
>>
>>42559496
I thought he was only underpowered compared to others of his level because he put literally EVERYTHING into his final attack.
>>
Going on that drive now, and unless you want a dead QM I'll have to hold on more discussion until tonight (on US East). Someone please archivr this properly and ill see if I cant be back to start this on this thread tonight
>>
>>42559606
No, he got it by accident. He's underpowered because instakills were shit when literally everyone had auto-res items and the only other worthwhile things about him were his abnormally high spell-count(most of which were probably useless) and because he didn't optimize at ALL. Remember, Ainz is the only PC we've seen, so who knows what kind of shit other people had. Hell, Touch Me could cut through dimensions.
>>
>>42559606
I think it's because with sufficient damage and speed you could beat him pretty easily in a straight-up fight, since he's a pure caster.
>>
>>42559595
Essentially each tier makes the skill stronger. Flight I is a bird. Flight IX is a seraphin.
>>
>>42559659
Alright then.
>>42559635
Why wouldn't we want a dead QM? Having a skeleton run Overlord Quest would be magnificent.
>>
>>42559635
actually having a dead qm doesnt seem too bad considering the MC is a skellyton
>>
>>42559784
>MC is a skellyton
Not decided yet
>>
>>42559527
Nigga, his equipment was ALL fucking Divine-class P2W items, that most people only get maybe 1 or 2 of through years of play.

His equips raised him from high mid-tier to mid high-tier in terms of power, but that still puts him below the people who actually optimized.
>>
>>42559739
>>42559784
And I already like my prospective players
>>
Which would be better for this quest? Overlord (Anime) Quest, or Overlord (Light Novel) Quest? There's already a plain Overlord Quest.
>>
>>42559845
Definitely light novel, just way more detail and info all around.
>>
>>42559878
I just thought of Anime because of a higher degree of accessibility, but alright then.
>>
>>42559845
The Anime is just a less detailed version of the LN, unless I missed some major difference somehow.

>>42560914
What made you decide to use a letter system? I'm assuming that we can increase our stats at level ups, right? Can we create new spells? How easy would it be to expand our base? Do we start out as a new player who got confused by the mechanisms for exiting the game and thus stayed past the server shut down? What level do we start at?
>>
>>42560914
Do we get to decide on what the NPC's are like, and can we make more? We had a guild, right? What happened to them?

>>42560914
Can we theoretically have 100 Race Levels?
>>
>>42561027
The problem is that we don't get numbers in the LN, just the bars for each character, so rather than saying you have a stat of X, I feel a "rating" would be more descriptive. Obviously that translates into numbers at some point, but I'll explain that later.

Certain increments of class levels will increase certain skills. Considering each skill has a max 'rank' of 18, you cant really increase it every level.

Yes, spell creation/learning is a thing.

Expanding will be fairly easy to begin with, though it gets harder as your base gets better obviously.

TBD

Level 10. Options are currently 10 Trained levels, 5 Trained/5 Racial levels, and 10 Racial levels

You'll be able to roughly design one.

>>
>>42559878
>>42559902
>>42559904

My view on the anime is that it's basically a commercial for the LN. I mean, they condensed an entire chapter (Longer than you think for those who haven't read) into a single episode. Personally I think you could easily get a season out of the first three volumes, but that would be taking everything from the LN and translating it into a visual medium, which as we have seen numerous times isn't the easiest challenge on the best of terms.

There's also the fact that taking LNs and making shallow anime from them is kind of a cash grab in Japan at this point. Deep anime doesn't sell as well and costs much more to make.
>>
>>42561563

>>
>>42562104
Probably in the aging sense only.
>>
>>42562178
That's what I meant, but yeah, probably should have worded it better.
>>
>>42562104
I'm sort of modelling it after the tiers they present within the LN. I - IX is the norm, while X is in the realm of the gods.

In the case of Longevity I, that is actually something dwarves and elves probably have. It means you're a less likely to get sick and your lifespan is expanded by 100%

Longevity IX is immortal to all things except death by combat or other unnatural circumstances.

Thanks mate. I appreciate it.

Unfortunately gonna be in archive trawl mode until this starts running earlier, but I'm gonna cast my vote for Vampire.

Not that anon, but kek, that will be even worse for me.
But that's fine, I suppose I'll be archivereading this quest then.

What a plebian.

>>42562539
Are you seriously suggesting that you trust /tg/ to be a convincing angel?
>>
>>42562643
I have faith in /tg/. If it doesn't work out, I'm sure we can at least make a decent fallen angel
>>
>>42562539
>Angel
>Implying we won`t fall in 3 threads It was for the best
>>
>>42562539
Angels are waaay overdone.
>>
>>42562674
>>42562690
Ah well, 'tis better to rule in hell than serve in heav'n.
>>
>>42562714
Being overdone does not mean it's bad.

Overlord and Dungeon Meshi are the only Japanese things I am interested in right now. Notwithstanding food and attractive women
>>
>>42562874
Overlord is fucking awesome dude, You'll definitely get quite a few people.
>>
>>42562874
Like >>42562484 asked, do you have a twitter for this? It would certainly make this easier to keep up with.
>>
>>42562874
Overlord is basically the most /tg/ thing to come out of Japan in years, unless I somehow missed Record of Second Lodoss War or some shit like that.

We're all on the spook train to scarytown, bud.
>>
>>42562874
I'm kinda tempted to try to be chuuni as all fuck in this. I mean, the people in Overlord recognize what it is, but seriously, just think of all the possibilities.
>>

I'll make one, deleted the old ones:

Pastebin will be following in an hour. Driving again.

>>42563051
Chunni is fucking cringe worthy, Go back to fucking /a/.
>>
>>42562763
It just means we need something that isn't fucking angels.
>>
>>42563500
Bug person like cocytus vote here!
>>
How about we do a Kraken or some other type of rare mythological monster?
>>
I want to fuck the trap elf
>>
>>42563892
Too rare for a low level like us.
I say go for something simpler like wolfman/werewolf, gives a nice flexibility and versatility while keeping things relatively streamlined. If it works out, we could go for something more exotic in a newgame+
>>
>>42563892
How would that have worked as a player race in an MMO?
>>
>>42559385
I enjoyed the scene.

Probably because it hit close to home
>>
I think it would help us pick if we came up with some kind of goal we are working to. Even just an idea of what we wish to play.

Then we can pick a race fitting of that.

Like say undead warrior paladin. We protect people from the grave.
>>
>>42563120
So is this going to be a regular quest or a civ or what?
>>
>>42564188
Quest with civ elements.
>>
>>42564641
So, you said something about a pastebin?
>>
>>42565011
Workin on it. Taking longer than expected because of shitty wifi.
>>
>>42564641
So like Blorp's Ogre civ quest.

>>42565667
Not that anon, but it's a sad day when you can't even mention gnolls without someone going "furfag"
>>
>>42565667
I'm automatically labeled a furfag for wanting to play a gnoll?

>>42566049
Half Dragon yay or nay?
>>
>>42566522
Fuck no, That's like the epitome of a mary sue anon.
>>
Maybe it's too extreme, but how about play as Human?
>>
>>42566522
No way. Rather a Devil or a Slime.
>>
>>42566567
That's crazy talk, go get your head checked.
I can actually see that being fun.
>>
>>42566522
I would want Devil, vampire, Skeleton or Lizardman.
>>42566567
Boooooooring
>>
>>42566522
Half-X is a bit of a copout in my opinion. Vetoed.

>>42566567
GASP! HERESY!
>>
>>42566613
This goes for half-elves, half-orcs, half-splooge etc. as well. I'm not just hating on the dragons!
>>
>>42566613
Not them, but it can be fun to play a classic at times.
>>
>>42566595
Regular human without any bonuses in the land of magic and monsters? You should struggle really hard to survive. How this is boring?
>>
>>42566636
I have no problem with humans. Was just jokin'.
>>
>>42566636
It's boring and this is supposed to be an overlord quest afterall.

We should be a spoopy wraith.
>>
>>42566665
Lol
PC are of similar power no matter their race, everything just goes into job levels instead of race levels.
A Human PC is more of a Mary Sue due to being such an outlier.
>>
>>42566669
I took this more of playing in the world where Overlord is taking place. We can do what ever we want it, as long as the Gm allows it.

We could play a human leader wishing to take the world over with talks and dealing making. We could even play it like the Overlord game and have minions swarm things. Granted what race wouldn't really matter to much.

Personally I'm a fan of Skeleton or vampire. More so for Skeleton do to it being more of the style I like. We go around be a hero and have crazy adventures to build up our rep. Then upgrade our base with the new followers. Something about a tireless knight kicking ass it fun to me.

I just realized that if what the QM said on Twitter is true, the quest is gonna start at around 5am for me. Life is truly suffering. And who knows how long it'll last.
>>
>>42566792
I mean literally human player in his own body with his own skills, not in-game character.
>>
>>42566832
You are correct. This will likely be an open ended quest to begin with. I like tossing you guys into a world, giving you tools to work with, and then just reacting to whatever shit you come up with. It slows my pace down by a good amount, but I feel it leads to a more sandboxy experience.

>>42566878
I was actually mislead when I said that. Game should be starting in roughly an hour, with a short break in 1.45 hours.
>>
>>42566906
Go play a peasant adventurer in DF without putting any points into skills or attributes at the start.
>>
>>42566936
On the time, that's much better. Still kinda harsh, but I can deal.
>>
>>42566963
I like when game is challenging.
>>
>>42558837
One of the maids is a dullahan but you need to raise your racial levels in zombie and so forth as you evolve to get dulluhan presumably.
>>
>>42566936
The MC going to be female or male? It's best if yo udecide since it gets ugly if yo ulet us usually.
>>
>>42567289
MC has already been decided on being male with a male character. I figured that one out already!
>>
>>42567331
Whew! You dodged a bullet there.
>>
I vote wraith as well. I wish a game like yggdrasil really existed.
>>
New plan. Quest starts in 15. Minutes. Riding this one by my fuckin coat tails boys. Will post the link in here and on twitter when the thread is up
>>
Also ive been the 1st, 100th, and 200th reply to this thread. Fuckin hell
>>
>>42566872
What? Just because our actions are the same doesn't mean we are the same. Events change and so do the people we meet. Also it's a sound plan. We can go murder people if that will make you feel better.

I wanted to be an undead paladin not a caster.
