The Obliging Wench Tavern - OOC Chat

I understand, lemme know if you're not feeling it but I think we can homebrew it up to par.

And the setting will be homebrewed./ I'll try to have a draft up soon of the premise of the setting for everyone to see but it'll be of my own make drawing from what MB made before. 

[Floofenstein]

Oh, excellent, homebrew setting! I really don't like most of the dnd settings so whew.

And ah, good! I'm sure it'll be fine.

[Ceberskie]

Hahah don't worry won't subject you to that clusterfuck

[DreamsnThings]

for what it is worth, the previous group this server was based on did PF1e if im not mistaken, and had a discord server we used both for rolls and side discussion (small chance I may be getting things mixed up since I did a lot of play by post ttrpgs, correct me if my wires are crossed)

[Ceberskie]

It was indeed. Only reason I thought to change it was to give the club a wider appeal since 5e is alot easier to learn and keep track of than PF1 especially when you're doing play by post. 

[DreamsnThings]

ah gotcha, I skimmed through the last few post and thought Id mention the above... though it seems like i assumed I needed to chime in when I really did not x3 sorry about that

[Ceberskie]

Haha its all good! all input is good input at this point lol.

[love_and_poprocks]

I do Pathfinder, DnD and Fabula Ultima so I’m down for what ever route we decide. 

[Ceberskie]

Fabula Ultima? What on earth is that haha

[love_and_poprocks]

My boyfriend irl got me into it. Well it is a tthrpg that is actually really fun and roleplay based. Same as DnD/Pathfinder but a little more complex or easy depending on your view. I recommend looking it up. 
 

 

@Ceberskie though I like a good homebrew game so that is always a fun time. 

[Ceberskie]

Interesting I'll definitely look it up! 

[Ceberskie]

It's more of a custom setting and lore than a full on rule set but I definitely want to adapt as much of the OG rules as I can. MB had a good thing going I think! 

@love_and_poprocks

[love_and_poprocks]

Yeah he did! I would love to know the premise of the story 

[Ceberskie]

Im working on it as we speak! As I mentioned in a previous post, my goal is to create a central hub for a large group to socialize and do as they will and then smaller groups will take on missions of an episodic nature with an overarching story that everyone participates in. That way if someone needs to drop out their character is still a part of the team and can come back whenever they are able to. The current goal is to build a setting and premise that suits this and creates an environment for the storytelling that we're all looking for while still providing all the smutty opportunities a bunch of degenerate RPers could hope for.

I can’t wait to see it come to fruition.

Agreed!

[love_and_poprocks]

That being said I’m in between three possible characters. 

Teifling Rogue

Half-Elf Cleric

Human Witch/Necromancer

Depending on what everyone decides I will choose to better fit the story. 

[IsabellaRose]

I prefer rules light systems for pbp; I find 5e, PF, and crunchy games to be far too clunky for pbp. I'll bow out if it's going to be 5e or PF.

 

[Ceberskie]

All totally workable! I'm working on the deities right now to give them a smutty spin. A necromancer would certainly be interesting hahaha

What are some alternatives? I've never played with any light rules systems.

It depends on the feel you're going for. A Lot of people like Tiny Dungeon, Maze Rats, Troika! and Mork Borg. If you want a minimalist old school D&D d20 experience you can try any of the OSR games, like Black Hack. If you don't care about keeping the d20 feel, any decent fantasy PbtA game runs a lot quicker in pbp - Dungeon World is the most "like" D&D, but Fantasy World is a more PbtA version of Dungeon World. In a Wicked Age is supposed to be pretty good, but I haven't played it.

Personally I've found a lot of success running pbp games using a real basic Cortex hack. But most people who enjoy 5e/PF like the piles of options and don't want a free-form system where you can make your own options, so that's probably not really a good suggestion. 

[Ceberskie]

Well let's ask the group! Would yall be interested in trying a more lightweight free form system like that? 

@MagnificentBastard

@Mysthero

@Floofenstein

[Floofenstein]

I'm not against trying new things, might be neato

[Mysthero]

I'm down. You already know my thoughts on systems that don't offer healthy rp opportunities @Ceberskie lol.

[MagnificentBastard]

I won't vote since it's likely I won't play. It depends on my free time and how things develop.
