The General Roleplay Discussion Thread!

C&G: Crepe commonly disappears from time to time, be it due to work, school, or social life idk which, but either way it serves well to be patient. If the RP goes on hiatus and gets closed, I can simply scrap my duo and save them for another time.

[Unionhack]

TA2: S'all cool, Mars. You're the boss.

C&G: Yeah, I'm not complaining. We've all got stuff to do.

S&S: So I recently got Shadowrun Returns which is a Cyberpunk Fantasy game with many similarities in setting and stuff wit S&S and I'm thinking of using the editor to make the story of Silicon & Sorcery into a playable campaign. Meaning everyone's characters can be NPCs. :D

[BetaB17]

S&S: Oh my I can only imagine how some of the characters would be perceived..

[Unionhack]

S&S: Well, here's a little preview. Keep in mind I'm still learning to use the editor and Shadowrun's art style may not be accurate to the exact specifications of people's imaginations. I'm trying to be as faithful as I can be. There aren't dark elves in Shadowrun so I may have to get creative.

Spoiler:

On the left of the image is Brondar, with his signature SMG. At the top is Rosa, with her hood pulled up as per her character description. On the right is Arthas with katana in hand, since there are no arm blades in Shadowrun Returns. The character at the bottom is my player character Orpheus.

[BetaB17]

:

Practice makes perfect. As you adjust, your style will evolve Also.. that doesn't look like a katana.. maybe a dagger.. or even a kunai<_< but not a dagger

TA2: I'm fine with a skip

[Alarra]

S&S: Oh, that's really cool, Winter! Can't wait to see the others.
Similarly, I plan to make our TA2 characters in the character creation of ESO once the NDA lifts if there's another beta, or when the game comes out, whichever comes first; I played around with that a bit this weekend.

[Unionhack]

S&S: It's a katana, it's just not apparent at that angle. And thank you, Alarra. :D

TA2: I could totally make some of the characters on Skyrim too.

[The SheoDovah]

S&S:Winter, that is excellent! I look forward to seeing how you'lll do the rest of the characters. Although Brondar reminds me of a supermutant. Once Corrine, Nirnuta and Náheia have interacted a bit at her place along with any others that are going to hers for a drink, we'll have a timeskip then. If the others feel it is okay for one. If there's little to no interaction, i'll see if the others want to timeskip to avoid keeping everyone waiting.

TA2:I look forward to seeing your version of Psyfalia, Alarra as well as the other PCs. Although Katien may be your biggest challenge due to "Her" appearance.

[BetaB17]

TA2: Actually, it probably isn't as hard as you may think<_< a male figure with obvious feminine features, that or do the opposing and just do a female with just a touch of masculine feature

S&S: I'm simply waiting for Justice to make a post. Post-interaction, Caius will just head towards his sister, anything to that point really isn't too important to me<_< though.. Caius may want to snatch up an old biker helmet.. just to stay true to his character(also, Naheia should expect a 'talk' between the two )

[The SheoDovah]

S&S:It's a bit late for a talk as she is in Corrine's car and i think Corrine will depart in the next post or the post after that. I'm guessing he is not happy with her or he feels sorry for her. I really can't tell with Cauis due to his nature.

[BetaB17]

S&S: He didn't need to talk to her ASAP everybody is going to be gathered up later anyways.

And don't expect a complement or any sympathy from him<_< he knows little what she went through, plus she lost only her father(and Valsha), he's lost everyone he could ever consider as family when but a child>_> but to digress, if anybody would get an actual complement from Caius, Rosalie would get it.. being apart of the few members he holds to a set esteem and respect. Proof of this is that he openly unveiled his identity to her>_> and for a bounty hunter.. identity holds alot of value

[Kerr]

S&S: Very nice Winter. I ripped off was inspired by Shadowrun when I was making S&S. As I'm sure you know by now a big reason of why it was Cyberpunk Fantasy was fear of nobody wanting to join Cyberpunk, another part is that Shadowrun is cool. Although I've always hated the idea of "humanity" and similar systems in Cyberpunk RPGs. That you can only have a certain amount of Cyberware before dying. The only reason they exist is for balance and I hate it so much.

I used a primer to help me plan some things. Threw in some references here and there too. Hell the PCs basically are Shadowrunners. I've been meaning to play Shadowrun Returns since it came out on GOG, I know I will do it eventually. Hopefully the music is as good as the music from the SNES game. Although the Cyberpunk RPG I'm most anticipating is Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red. I want it.

[The SheoDovah]

S&S:He's going to lecture her isn't he?

All Roleplays i'm in: My net has been playing up a lot of late so my activity has dwindled as a result. I can't do anything about it. I apologise for this and it will resolve it self soon as it always does whenever it behaves like this. I think it's the [&@%!] [&@%!] weather that is causing it.

[Unionhack]

S&S: It's more along the lines of the more cyberware you have, the less essence you have and therefore the less powerful and reliable your spellcasting abilities are. At least that's how it is in SRR. I think it makes sense; magic is kinda a natural thing and if you just load your body up with chrome, you become less of a natural being and more of a cyborg.

[Kerr]

S&S: Essence in Shadowrun, Humanity in Cyberpunk but they are basically the same thing. It might not be how it works in the game but I know in the tabletop essence impacts more than just magical talent, once you run out of essence you die. It is a concept I strongly hate and made clear that it doesn't work like that in S&S.

[Unionhack]

S&S: Ah, makes sense. In SRR, you simply aren't allowed to go under 1 essence so you can't go full cyborg. For example, I'm trying to replicate cyberware as accurately as possible for the S&S NPCs: Arthas has a Datajack (.5 essense), advanced cyber eyes (.5 essence), and an enhanced reflexive neural network (to reflect his upped reflexes, 2 essence) which brings him to 3 essense. He could maybe get a cyber leg after that but it would bring him to 1 essence and that'd kinda interfere with his spellcasting.

[Justice knight]

S&S: I'm simply waiting for Justice to make a post. Post-interaction, Caius will just head towards his sister, anything to that point really isn't too important to me<_< though.. Caius may want to snatch up an old biker helmet.. just to stay true to his character(also, Naheia should expect a 'talk' between the two )

Well Rosalie has left, I was actually waiting to see if you would post anything to stop her just walking to Damien's....

[BetaB17]

S&S: I went back to read the post... I misinterpret it as she went and 'left' the building<_< but I guess you kind of can't do that when your already outside.

Oh well, it wasn't something critically important. More or less a congratulation plus, he still has his side of the promise he needs to see to

[Alarra]

TA2: Oh, yeah, I'm fine with a timeskip too anyway, after the Raylis/Arellius conversation like you said. There wasn't really much I was going to do with Niralie at the baths - just have her fall asleep, but that's unimportant enough that it can be mentioned after the fact. As to checking on Niralie's shoulder, we could do that after, maybe. When would it skip to?
Oh, and won't you have to finish the Ordinator/Maurzol scene before the timeskip as well?

[The SheoDovah]

TA2:Psyfalia will sleep as well due to how tired she is. May as well do a timeskip as there is no interaction going on.

S&S:I'm up for a timeskip if it's just me, Music and Alarra that are the only ones that are left as i don't want to keep everyone waiting whilst the trio drink.

[Unionhack]

S&S: Instead of flooding the General Roleplay thread with my ideas, any ideas, progress, or suggestions on the S&S Shadowrun Returns module can be viewed/posted on my creative thread instead. If you're curious, go check it out (though all I have up right now is a list of playable characters).

[Velvet LeChance]

S&S: So I recently got Shadowrun Returns which is a Cyberpunk Fantasy game with many similarities in setting and stuff wit S&S and I'm thinking of using the editor to make the story of Silicon & Sorcery into a playable campaign. Meaning everyone's characters can be NPCs.

S&S: I think I'd buy this game merely to play this S&S campaign remake. Sounds pretty cool.

[Iamgoofball]

any of them:

So I'm tempted to bring Robent back for something.

Spoiler:

Complete with pig rape backstory.

[Dirty Spaceman]

I dunno. On one hand, I would love to see the return of Robent. On the other, it might detract from the pure legend of the original.

[Unionhack]

S&S: Yeah, I think it'd be pretty neat if I end up finishing it. Check out my creative thread for more info, yo.

So, uhhh.... Timeskip?
