Personal stuff for roleplayers

Hey everybody I had an interesting idea a while back, but the new day has come was chosen over it.

How bout we do a raider based campaign that is more fast paced and objectified then some of the others.

It would play out that we consist of a small raiding party consisting of those who join and we attack caravans in a stealth attack type deal.

The challenging part would be that we came from a tribe that doesn't like technology so we would be using very basic melee weaponry or bows and slings.

possible squad members could be similar to classes in other RPGs

there would be a close combat warrior armed with his choice of spears, rudimentary swords, bone or leather armor, and knives or clubs or varying sizes and appearences, which of course can all be customized and thought up by whoever gets the role.

A thief meant for sneaking and unarmored. Poisonous daggers and arrows would work well here.

A shaman to create healing powders, poisons, salves, drugs, and other items.

A monk adorned with crazy warpaints and knuckle dusters or chains and ropes.

An archer with obsidian arrows and such.

The list goes on people, and I always liked the idea of cunning and tactics winning out over guns and brute force. The simple tribesmen/women would have to go against armed caravan guards and could be up against stacked odds, but most assault would be night fighting or in ruins full of cover and hiding places.

There would be a good amount of room for character customization such as paintings, tatoos, bone or rock carvings, intersting armors/clothes, even animal totems or pets.

If you guys like my idea tell me and if enough people agree to join I will start an OOC for characters and thoughts and then the game itself
 
Aw... shoot!

I am just toast. Thanks everyone that helped anyway...

Gonna see if i can join somethig. I'll fix it how.
 
ok good thats two, but one or two more would be best. I'd be honored if Welsh or Zoe joined in.

Also I won't call us the Khans, but how bout the mongol tribe?
 
PyroPhoenix, that is a bloody great idea, im loving the sounds of it already. Im going to have to make a character based on throwing...

"taste cold hard rock! Brotherhood scum!"

Id be a tad screwed if they are wearing power armor though :(

Anyway i like the idea of being very primative and being a semi-bad guy for a change.

So im in, if you want to email me, my email is kentucky_Jo@hotmail.com

Hope to hear from you

Ok sweet just one more person

About now would be a good time to call dibs on a class.

So first come first serve to you guys.

Also If you wish to make your own class I have no problem with it, just run it by me and I will approve it.

On another note I would like a vote to whether or not you guys would like the shaman to be able to make gunpowder for primitive bombs against the more heavily armed and armored that we can't go toe to toe with, or as flash bombs for diversions so our theief can take out a rearguard.

Also dare I suggest a basic pipe rifle or is that too much. Such would be muzzle loading and fire simple spheres of rock or metal.
 
im thinking keep it uber primative. No guns, no gun powder.

Perhaps the shaman knows of a way to attract those grenage bugs, or knows how to make those stun powder balls (both of which appear in Tactics)

As i said earlier, im thinking of going a character whose main strength is throwing.
 
Heya guys.

Even if it reminds me a lot of Fallout Tictacs, it is a nice idea, Pyro. You can start the thread, but keep it low tech (no gunpowder, and the raiders will have to figure out what those things they scavanged from the caravans actually do - it can be hillarious).

Cheers

Zoe
 
Yeah, im thinking Zoe is on the right track, keep it totally tribal and primative. No guns, no ammo, nothing pre-processed (leather/metal armor, stims, man made drugs ammo, land mines...that sort of shit)

Completely low tech and probably a totally unique belief system, about the world and the great war.

There would need to be a set tribal system and tribal lands, im getting full on excited about this.

Hey Pyro, if you need or want any help with this, just give me a yell, ive had a bit of experiece with creating a fallout world and would be happy to help.

Sweet, you just gained the last player that you needed Pyro, lets jump start this thing and get going!

Just a heads up. Over the next two weeks I will be pretty busy and after that, gone for about a month +.

THus I am shutting down Kilrick for now. Wastelands can continue if one of the mods wants to run it.
 
Gosh, long time since I have followed up on this thread.

Gunslinger is irregular- he's doing lots of personal stuff. I had him posting on the zombie story for a bit but that's kind of fallen off. I plan to get to it after the semester is over.

Zoe- has taken serious personal time. As far as I know she's off all the boards. It might be permanent.

Pyro- I think your story above was a great idea. Why not start it up?

As for me, sorry I have been slow to post. Exams and dissertation stuff has kept be busy for the past couple of weeks. I got a few papers to grade and a proposal defense on Monday. Hopefully I will post up this weekend.
 
I would actually be interested in getting into more rps, such as Kilrick. Though I have NO idea what the progress is in Kilrick at the moment, I kind of want to see the older post-apoc Middle East roleplay resurrected. You know, the one between the GLA like Islamic army, IDF, mercenaries, UN troops, etc. The story had some good potential.
