OOC The Island - OOC

[Beamohawk]

Could always try a more restrained version of the original rules, don't know if that would work anymore, but it's an idea

We could use bare bones GURPS, it's pretty similar to what we started with, just balanced and with ways to keep people from trying to godmode and whatnot.

Here's a reddit post that explains a bit and has a link to GURPS Lite: https://www.reddit.com/r/gurps/comments/b015q5/what_books_would_i_need_to_start_up/

I have all of the main PDFs and a couple dozen splats worth of content I have for casual reading (may as well make them useful). Even if you don't decide to use the system, it has really good advice that is system ubiquitous.

If we just use the 8 base stats and basic rules, it is pretty simple. The main reason it works well for TI is that it was built with homebrew'd worlds in mind. (It's also great for characters who aren't purely combat focused.)

Those sound like interesting ideas.

I think we should try to stick to the original TI setting. I really liked the diversity of the original races, such as Mares. And I loved the TI gods, such as Kaira Phune.

I still want to kill Khazhra

I finally got to the end of that list. You need a page number system in there! xD Recent site activity - The Island ~ Forum Roleplay

Also, I just realized that The Island will have it's 7th incarnation soon. 7I cover art when?

Like... Can I join back up? New character and all? (I will stay here this time... I swear!)

Hello again, been so long but I'm still interested.
I will try to be active, let's not let this RP die again, I mean, I have so many character and world ideas.

So, sadly, i believe we can call the island dead at this point?

 

[Droid15.24.3]

I've been making my characters in Code Vein, just did Regnil and his sister a few hours ago. I don't think I'll ever forget this world. I'll just pop in every now and again in the hopes this gets revived.

 

[Jerion 'Wyverntamer' Kràl]

I definitely won't forget the place that introduced me to DnD, this was the first place I ever learned of these systems. I'll also just be hoping this gets revived someday.

 

[Murphmario]

I'm all for a revival, despite not being in this originally. I just feel like it's one of the more iconic TCF/TO RPs.

I think about doing this again almost daily, but I'm just not home like I used to be.

Don't worry, I don't blame you for it. Life gets hectic. Just be sure to ping me if the opportunity arises. ^_^

Hey everyone, how's it going? Hope everyone is doing well.

Anyway, since pretty much my whole life is on stand-still, I was wondering if anyone wanted to do some nightly RPing? There are a bunch of options, including possibly resuming The Island in one way or another, or maybe getting group (if its not too big) to do some more tight-knit RPing of some kind.

Miss you all. Much love.

 

[Jerion 'Wyverntamer' Kràl]

I would very much be interested in that, though it might be difficult with timezones (or maybe good, it might be early in the morning for me).

 

[TheLastFlame50]

Considering the COVID-19 lockdown, nightly RPing might be nice. It'd be a change of pace from all the Minecraft I've been playing, lol.

 

[Charmander27]

Of those of you which have seen this, what sounds fun to you? Posting here on the forums, doing something a bit more structured elsewhere (maybe in an IRC, a voice chat hangout, or possibly on some tabletop software)? I'm really up for anything.

 

[Murphmario]

I'd be interested in joining this. Personally, either here or Discord would be fine.

 

[Cjjedik]

Despite not having participated in an RP before, I’d be interested as well if you’d have me.

 

[TheLastFlame50]

I found an on-again off-again DND group, so I'm drawn to the idea of something structured in sessions in some other format. I'm cool with posting on the forums though, as long as people are able to post relatively frequently so we can really get stuff going.
