Whew. Busy day over. I love both takes on how we could get slightly animalistic featured peoples in this setting. They should be limited, at least to some extent, and leaning into the exploitation and prejudice against them (and possibly reverence in certain cultures) is definitely a great idea. Even if they are a very small population that still allows multiple players to take on that role, should they wish. It would make more sense after all that a small population facing prejudice from the rest would try to stick together when they do find one another, after all. As far as airships goes in a steampunk setting I'd always visualize

I've seen the pathway thread... It definitely sounds complicated by my standards. It doesn't exactly tell me much about what would be an actual "start point". Whether we start together or separate would change how my character appear in the story, whether she is an engineer in a train that somehow carries other people who are supposed to meet and fate brought them together OR the team is already in a bar together at the start and drinking before leaving on some insane adventure. Just example but you might see what I mean. I may have found some potential (human) ideas that I could use but I just still don't understand how the setup will b

-Balls; I love the idea of that divide between the fringe or frontier, and the civilised folk or even those trying to emulate them on that same Frontier. The working men and women contrasted with the rich land and business owners holding events like they're in the centre of civilisation, far from the frontier. -Heists?- a complicated plan with little to no chance of going off correctly. -Horses; Maybe unnecessary to add, but the Frontier can't be all trains and zeppelins (though I love them both, especially with our aesthetic.) I imagine civilisation being incredibly reliant on the technology and industrial side, while the frontier/

I believe that is part of the point of the Pathways set-up and of course the OOC areas she set up for the games.

Bad fun

Not giving up is good. By the way, I did my deeper search on moreau and what takes people have on the internet (And what adaptation I could find through images and media). Now, I know it depends on the RPers' tastes here but it does seem like anthro characters COULD work in the setting. The issue is that in that story, they are locked to their own city for people to see them. (Like a zoo of sort, I guess?). So one of the anthros COULD be stuck in that city. Now, whether she manages to escape or somehow finds her way out is debatable. The real question I have though is about the setting itself. I know what the theme is about, how dark we

Figured I would check. The system as I seem to understand it does seem to be built around characters sticking together, and it not being as easy for a character to wander from one group to another, but figured I would check before group 2 really gets to figuring out its world and if/how different it is.

Good fun

As we build the worlds, if one goes in a direction that appeals to players in the other group, we can change groups. I can accommodate up to 6 players per game, so there's room for movement to/from either game. That's the risk you take with any TTRPG, really. Finding a group willing to commit to the long term game is difficult. I've started more online games than I can count on multiple sites and I've only ever finished a handful. That's just how it goes. But I'll never stop trying.

Meanwhile in the Starwars world: Lop. Nuff said. Even Star Wars is trying to appeal to me with furry characters and I'm all there for it. (Not a huge fan of Star wars otherwise, with how bad the last movies were but the general idea of the good old movies are fun.) I would totally go Lop mode on that if it came to it. Gotta enjoy them nice anthros.

Unfortunate it is impossible to create polls in the middle of topics on EcchiDreams. If it was, might have made one to test interest in what I should read (preparing either as a GM or player) and maybe see how practical it would be start/help start. Not something that would happen anytime soon, but maybe a someday project. Though if I do find myself with a free slot again, may someday recreate the Star Wars club.

I know I am not planning to leave anywhere unless something goes terribly wrong. Sadly, from what I saw, a lot of stories, especially multiplayer ones, die pretty fast. I don't want to be a sour apple but I've been on Ecchidreams for years now. Long enough to see things rise and fall many times. I'll help however I can and we can hope for the best.

I guess one more thing worth clarifying there on this thread. Guessing the groups are permanent then, barring any unexpected emergencies forcing people to drop out (hopefully everyone there is committed to sticking through it, unless something like that comes up)? Assuming it isn't trouble for you, two worlds could work in that case. Don't have a problem with it if that is the case. Just figure someone getting shuffled around is the most important reason we might want to keep it to one world.

Absolutely, I concur. Zeppelins. This precisely gets to the kind of technological tension and kind of struggle to forge a better future in the frontier that I most associate with westerns. Leaning so heavily on Izzy's Prudence Lawton as my character concept does, I'm voting this is whoever Prudence broke from. Are the Unbound analogous to the early Protestants and Unitarians? How violent is the schism?

I like this group

Hi, everyone! I'm alive. Sorry I wasn't around most of the week, but I'm back. Okie-dokie, first up, I want: Airships : aesthetically, I would prefer zeppelins and hot air balloons over anything more scifi or fantasy. Automatons : I think it could be neat to treat automatons the way trains are often treated in Westerns. They are emblematic of the blight of progress, pushing out simple folk and making their lives harder while the wealthy robber barons control their manufacture and use from distant cities. I'm thinking *The Octopus* but with clockwork track-layers, coal shovelers, and even steam-driven oxen pulling Union-P

Here's a different, brilliant take. I like it, Izzy.

Honestly, I could see this working as an almost Jekyll/Hyde formula type thing. Injected with "Essence of Bear" for strength, "Essence of Wolf" for tracking/pack hunting, etc. The effects are initially temporary as the experiment begins, a boost to the soldiers for a single offensive, something that wears off. At the same time, the effect is designed to be used as a gas, dispersed over a large area to affect multiple targets at once. But these were things more like a drug, designed to weaken their opponents... "Essence of Tortoise" to slow them down, "Essence of Rabbit" to make them skittish and more likely to run than fight. Obvi

Well this is going to be rather short to start. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of anything that I strongly do not want, I am rather open minded. Though I will mention it if someone else suggests something that falls in that category. I would have to think a little more about things I would strongly like, I am rather open-minded. But following Isabella’s advice, won’t list things I am just okay with or kind of like, have to consider if anything falls into the stronger like category.
