I'll see eventually about getting at least a little more in on Azreal's thread too at some point. Ought to let him have a little fun before he gets stopped.

Guess we will start with this, while I think about things I really want. I expect I would probably agree with it, but more checking where the line is on cartoony or not, is probably good to have everyone on the same page. I do like Steampunk as a concept, but have only read/experienced a little of it, so good to get at least a general idea of the sort of technology you/we are thinking. Especially if we push more in that direction than Wild West or have characters connected to it.

Ah, good thing that was caught before anyone voted. Got that fixed.

Not sure if I have much to say in that area. Rather open minded, I would be surprised at this point if there is anything I strongly don't like. Will keep thinking about anything that falls in the strong like area, but not sure yet if there is anything will fall into that category, rather than just things that fall more into I think it is cool category.

Poll is up. I will keep an eye on this for new votes. See who/how many many vote. Give it some time. Again, this is a long term project, so won't rush into a choice, unless maybe a whole lot of people I enjoy writing with pick one option. Even then, that will just make me choose one to pick reading more quickly. Will take some to read and figure it out, especially I am a GM rather than player. Broke it up into three questions, whether you want to play as a player, GM, and if you are already familiar with the system. https://ecchidreams.com/community/topic/9930-poll-satais-library-of-mostly-unread-ttrpg-which-would-you-be-interested-in-playing-gm-or-player/

I briefly discussed this on the General Discussion thread. Over the years I have picked up a library of TTRPG books. Some I have had since childhood, some more recent acquisitions. I did read some of the childhood collection for fun, mostly reading the lore/player options/treasures/monsters sort of thing. But never played any game like this (though as of writing this I am preparing to get into one that is not part of this list). Dipping my toes into actually playing this sort of game. I decided to see how popular the books I had were, whether people were interested in playing them. This is not a short term project. This will take me some time, to read up and see how practical playing them are. Will see about giving vote options for playing as GM or player for each. Already being familiar with the game system is a big plus, but at that phase I don't consider it a requirement. If you aren't, will try to figure out the best way to bring you in later, as I figure things out (or we try to figure it out at the same time). People who already played in RPs with me are also a big plus, and may possibly influence the final decision, but the poll is open to everyone. I'll break it up into several questions. One for if you like the idea of playing as a player, one for being the GM, and one to let me know if you already are familiar with any of the systems. Copying list, with small notes I wrote on the other thread: 1st edition AD&D (a few corebooks and one setting box), plus a few 2nd edition setting boxes. MERP (Middle-Earth Role Playing), big mix of 1st and 2nd edition. AD&D 1st edition and some of the MERP was the part that was originally my dad's, but I built on the MERP. Rolemaster. Core books. Could maybe be called Advanced MERP, without the MERP built in (though it is compatible with MERP, and MERP books have stats and such for using with Rolemaster but can also be played with a few other settings or player invented settings). Mekton. A anime-mecha inspired system, setting invented by the writers. A more recent acquisition. Have not read much of it. Star Wars (West End Games). One I read quite a bit as a kid, developed at a fun point in franchise history, before the prequels were made. An early developer of the old "Legends" expanded universe. I had actually made a club dedicated to this. But without much interest, deleted it since I needed to free a slot to take over a different one. Babylon 5 (D20 system). Based on a (semi?) obscure sci-fi TV series in the 90s, source of 'Satai'. Bought the full set, should be fun to at least read at some point. Dune: Adventures in the Imperium. Game based naturally on the book series of the same name (like I said in the last post, a whole lot of licensed setting books, the ones that aren't are the exceptions). Maid: The Role-Playing Game (one of the few exceptions to that, along with Rolemaster and potentially AD&D). Single book focused on exactly what the title implies (though I believe there are some other options to play). Tenchi Muyo! RPG and Resource Book. Single book, based on the anime of the same name. One that has grown much more obscure with age.

I am not sure if we are just supposed to be listing our own ideas for now, or discussing each others too and other things. I still don’t expect anything to fall under no for me. The above works for me if Isabella and the rest of the group thinks it works. That sort of group for the characters works for me too, might help me cut down on the list of character types I was thinking between. But a surprising number might still fit, will work my way down to a single choice as we finish up the details.

Might make a separate topic in the club with a poll and link to it here when it is done. Since in theory it could lead to setting something up here someday. Though who votes might be as important as how many vote, and I know a number of them might be tricky for people to get into if they don’t already have books/familiarity themselves, especially ones that are long out of print and/or have a bunch of books. But I like polls and might be interesting to see results.

Will see about getting a response with some thoughts in tonight, whether starting the conversation, or building on the replies of others (a chance I will be able to during the day, but can’t guess how likely it will be). Office closing a little early today, that might help.

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.

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 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.

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.

Read over all this quickly. The one downside about having yesterday afternoon off, is work was much more annoying today. Thursday nights are also one of my worst nights for writing. But will see about getting something in the group 2 thread either tonight or tomorrow hopefully.

“Yep, just thinking about it for now. All the things I just mentioned. Not going to try to asking for it, unless you say you want it.” It was enough to think about it, make Mitsuko think about it. There was still a small chance of convincing her, but Jumi did not expect they would do that. Though they likely would do something else. She was not afraid or ashamed to try praying for it, but would only do so if Mitsuko wanted to as well. She was starting to really want it, feel a little frustration. She could wait though. Her eyes were of course too focused on Mitsuko. Probably better she did not see the apple. She could probably ignore the temptation to take a bite, but if she realized there was a chance it might grant her wish, that would just make her uncertain about pursuing it or not. Wonder whether it was reacting to herself, Mitsuko, or both. It was true there was a chance nothing would happen between those two. Jumi still thought there was a good chance. But she was drawn to Mitsuko’s other words. Her hand caressing Mitsuko’s thigh. “We will do other things for now. But keep going, I like what I’m hearing. Tell me more about what you want, how much you want it. How it makes you feel.” Something special just between them. Mitsuko might not want to rush into it, but it sounded like she wanted it. Jumi wanted to hear more, about what the idea of it made her feel. About Jumi specifically being able to do that to her. “Do you want it to be our little secret? Just us and Shinigami? Or if it is more than once, should I share it with them?” The other girls she mentioned, Jumi was mostly interested in doing it with Mitsuko. Though she did wonder what Shinigami would have thought, letting her do the same? Then there were girls like Nymphia or Alexandrine. Did Mitsuko like or dislike the idea of Jumi spreading it around. Maybe watching her do it to another girl, maybe while Shinigami took care of her? “I am sure he did not mean to offend you or make you uneasy. He may have believed it to be the safest option. You are not human, but with the three of you there he probably believed it best to treat you all the same. May have felt Jumi and Mitsuko would be uncomfortable in his presence nude. Especially as women before a man, even if the man had no lewd desires.” She was unsure how much Shinigami was aware of human day to day life, ways they might think differently. There was nothing wrong with it, she did not mean to lecture or judge, just help her understand a little. ”Are you more comfortable with nudity?” Was that it, or was it the light? Either way, she stood up, gradually disrobed and removed under garments. Showing herself to Shinigami. A step in the direction they were discussing, though this was more intended to relax Shinigami than excite her. Even if part of her hoped Shinigami found the sight appealing. She knelt down again, leaned in touched the mark. Was it a demons mark? Something like one? “Did that woman put this on you, or someone else? Does it have any effect on you?” If that woman did it, that made things much stranger. Or put her identity in more question. She had never heard of a human being able to mark someone like a demon did. Was it something like a demon mark, or just meant to resemble one?

Someone plays the mad scientist or student/heir to the mad-scientist who created them, one possibility?

As the last member of this group to comment, I support it too. Now it is time to go back to my list and which option works best here. With this group it will much more likely be a woman, but have to decide beyond that.

“It was appealing, something just for you.” Jumi prodded a little further. She could see Mitsuko getting into the idea, but that might have been the double-team idea she added. “Would be interesting. If she can it might be closer to what was offered. Make me into something like her temporarily, which I admit was appealing, why I said I was willing to do it. But if I ask now, might be given a smaller change. As I am, except down there.” To be human, except with both parts below. It was hard to say if Shinigami could do that. They might not have another chance for that. But she kept holding off. ”Who knows how much energy she will have after finishing with Umi, assuming she agrees. Umi could be getting it from Shinigami, the same time you get it from me.” She would not force it, would not push too hard, but would push at least a little more. Was this a fetish, some secret desire of her’s? She was not sure she would put it that way, even if she long wondered what it might feel like. To be on the other side. Experiencing it on the receiving side from Shinigami, now imaging doing to Mitsuko was very appealing though. Maybe it was beginning to become something like that, after Maxim’s offer put it into her had that it was at least possible. There was a power out there that could make it happen. “Just keep picturing it, if you like it. Me like this. Me like Shinigami. The two of us, the three of us. Whatever makes you excited.” She kissed and sucked the side of Mitsuko’s neck for moment, then sucked on the ear before whispering into it. “We just might do something no two human women have ever done together.” It was not impossible there were previous cases she was unaware of, but Jumi thought it was much more like she was right. That no two women had ever done it that way, with the proper physical organ uniting their bodies. That made her more excited. Ah well, it might have been cute to see Nall’s reactions, but Umi was not going to stop him from leaving. Perhaps he was shy about watching such things, no matter who or what the participants were. This was perhaps Jumi’s idea as well, give her privacy for this, if she was willing. A moment that did in fact consider special, but not in a way that gave her any reluctance to do it here and now. In a way, it might be more special to do it like this. She did not feel it needed any romance beforehand, or anything like that. ”It is how many Magical Girls are, I do not find it surprising. That they would have already done so, or be comfortable with us doing it.” She said to Shinigami, after they were alone. “If you find me desirable….” The hints Shinigami gave, between words, and making herself erect, did appear to imply that. Her not being aggressive about it helped. “…I am open-minded to it. Though I only have the vaguest idea what to expect. I understand only the basic idea.” She understood where Shinigami wanted that shaft to go. There would be thrusting. That it was supposed to feel good for both. But that was basically it. She also understood of course it was how a woman becomes pregnant. With a human, and demons at least, though she guessed it might not be in this case. Were there other examinations to make? It was hard to say, she was already convinced Shinigami was not a demon. But it was a subtle judgement, from years of study and working against them. Convincing an ordinary human, who did not simply take her word, would be difficult. There were things to learn in learning in Shinigami’s offer, but that was less about what she was and more what most women learned at some point in their lives. Things she had some curiosity to learn, even if she was not quite at the point of undressing and joining Shinigami in her bed.

Fell behind on that reading I meant to do. With the afternoon off, should see about getting at least some of that in over the afternoon, before the announcement is is made and group talk begins.

“Trying to revenge tease me now?” Jumi asked, mostly joking. As Mitsuko encouraged a wait. Jumi was not going to fight over it, but with it on her mind this much, it was a bit frustrating to not even give it a try. Was this something like the frustration she occasionally heard men complain about. Except maybe without some of the physical discomfort she heard they could feel if they waited too long to relieve arousal? “We’ll play it your way for now. But, I haven’t completely given up on seeing if we can do it here. Hard to wait for something like that. Especially if it looks like you want it.” Make it clear, she would respect Mitsuko’s opinion. But if she started wanting it bad enough, or Mitsuko changed her mind, there was still a chance she would at least try asking for it while they were here. Though there was no guarantee the request would be answered or accepted. She was going to cheat a little, whether it changed anything or not. “I’ve been imagining it since hearing that offer. Doing that to you. What it would look like, feel like, how you would react. You should do the same.” Tempt her to imagine it, see if it would change anything. It might not, but anything that turn Mitsuko on more was appealing. ”Though, yeah, if Shinigami can do that. Something else to consider. Her and me doing you at the same time. Been on the receiving end of that before. Seeing how much you liked Shinigami’s can only picture you dealing with two at the same time.” That was another fun thought. ”As for Umi. Well, Nall is keeping an on them. But have to wonder if the little guy will stay if something like that happens.” She gave a final thought on those two. While she had fun putting thoughts in Mitsuko’s head, considering what to do, if she had to wait on the idea she had. “I am considering it, in complete honesty I very well might do it, if Shinigami desires to do that with me.” Calm Nall down a little, before she made her final decision or prepared herself for it. That seemed to be best. He was kind of being cute. Not being human or even humanoid, Umi could only guess how he would react to the sight of Shinigami claiming her virginity. She was curious if part of him would want to watch, or treat it more like a human watching two animals mate in a documentary, something of interest or curiosity, but not arousing, if he was not too embarrassed to stay. It would be his choice if he stayed in the room, or watched the act. “I do not know Mitsuko well, you two would have a better idea.” Umi admitted, not really knowing, but not really concerned either. Her guess was Shinigami would not have offered this if she thought it would upset Mitsuko. “As for Jumi, it would not surprise me if she guessed this would happen.” She said, with maybe a slight hint of amusement. She then shrugged. “It is a temple. But this is the living area. We who live here are all family, by blood or by marriage. Such activities happen in many of these rooms. Granted usually by married couples, but again the temple has no rules one must wait until they are married.” It was possible maybe to be too casual, too often, with too many people. Or doing it with others after marriage. But as Shinigami had been welcomed here, no one would be concerned with Umi’s choice if they did it and anyone found out. They were among the more open minded of humans to…union…between human and non-human. As long as the partner was not a demon or other enemy.

Hmm don’t want to overthink things before having a better idea of what I will play. But might try to think up a little more for some of what I was considering.

These are the ones I am currently leaning towards, will cut down (or maybe consider something else) as setting/story is figured out and see what the rest of my group does for characters. These could all be either man or woman with rare exception(s) where only one gender really fits: Steampunk Character Tropes: Gadeteer Genius Mad Scientist/Inventor Explorer Western/Wild West Character Tropes Bounty Hunter Hooker with a Heart of Gold (yeah, that isn't going to be a man) Magical Native American

The idea was swimming in Jumi’s head, now that Mitsuko seemed up to it. “Don’t like the idea of annoying a god. But we are in the temple still, and he wanted to help. Have to wonder if he would help a little if asked.” Nobody else picked it up at the time, but had Maxim understood that reason she had been open to his offer. It did not seem completely impossible he might. At least for a little bit. A little awkward to pray for something like that. But it had occurred to has probably the one most likely way it could happen. He did not seem the type to consider it impure. “You want it that bad?” She teased. “Maybe if you want it from me enough, he would be more likely to agree.” She was not looking for a permanent change, but seeing Mitsuko like this made her want to consider the idea more. She ground her hips a little against Mitsuko, teasing her, maybe making her imagine it. “Shinigami may have been able to do it to you first, but if I get this chance, you are the one I do it with.” A first time of sorts for Jumi this time, if it was possible. ”I’m not a really close friend of Umi’s or anything like that. I would say it is possible at least.” She shifted to answer that question, while continuing to grind against Mitsuko. “Shinigami has a way with girls. As long as Umi is open to it, we might have to wait a while for them.” They both knew how good Shinigami could be. Jumi had to believe Umi would love it, if she let it happen. The only question was how it would happen, the initial steps would be hard to guess. Especially with Umi being a virgin with only a basic idea of how sex worked. Umi watched what Shinigami did, saying nothing about the comment about Mitsuko. She did not look away from the work of Shinigami’s hand, or the aftermath. “Ah, that is your proposal.” She was innocent, untouched by intimacy, but not stupid. She now understood exactly what Shinigami suggested. It was a surprise, but she showed no sign of being bothered by it. Did Jumi guess Shinigami had this interest, in making a point of leaving them alone? As for the suggestion to Nall, to go find them. She had to wonder if those two had a similar idea. He might not find it better to go to them. ”Many human women consider their first time to be something special. Some religions insist on a woman remaining untouched until her wedding night. Or for a priest or priestess to remain pure their entire life.” A brief thing that she was not sure if either Shinigami or Nall knew. “While this temple considers marriage a sacred union. The only way for an outsider to join. We are not so strict.” She had not planned to cross the line before marriage. But it was not forbidden. Now that Shinigami’s offer was clear, she was at least considering it. A sign to Shinigami that another human trusted her, to let have something she might consider special. Now observing the body, with Shinigami’s new offer made, it was perhaps accurate that there was some desire in her body as well, not doing it purely for Shinigami’s sake. ”I will not ask you to leave. But if this happens, if you are uncomfortable with sight, you are free to leave, if you wish.” She said to Nall, not having officially said yes, but making clear to both, she was at least open minded to the idea. It was far from how she expected this to happen, but if Shinigami wished it, there was a good chance it would happen. Like Shinigami, she did not really care if Nall watched what she considered a natural act.

Perverts, on EcchiDreams? Impossible.

Using the list of character types on the previous page, started to whittle that down to a smallish list of options I may choose from. But final decision will wait to see who I am grouped with and what sort of story the group settles on.
