Fate Accelerated: Dragon Campaign (OoC)

[Feathersnow]

Okay. I'm moving the chat to here. I talked over some world building in the Discord, but I'm nit sure we want to use that for the game.

Ideas discussed-

1) This world is a fantastic version of late 1st Millennium western Europe, with mythological beasts taking the place of human nobles.

2)Our Dragons represent a pact of various interests trying to reunify society to return it to a golden age of competent, effective governance.

JNA your dragon does not have any stats btw.

EDIT: Done.

And I guess the East Asia art of blending calligraphy and painting is where all this weird "ink dragon" idea comes from. And this is probably the shape Axeszanyreth will take...

Nyan put up a Discord link in the recruitment thread for brainstorming and rules questions. I don't think we'll use it for actual game play, but it has a record of what we discussed.

[ahyangyi]

Removing the long name aspect because I have too many aspects.

Removing the long name aspect because I have too many aspects.

To be clear- you should have five, a High Concept, a Trouble, Dragon Type, and two others.

[Feathersnow]

I am working on building an initial post for the IC, but my partner's car just died so I may be distracted.

Just wanted you to be updated.

Glad you keep us up to date! Good luck with the car. I wish I could just trash my car sometimes if I didnt absolutley need it xP

[Kaworu]

I forgot to add this topic to my subscriptions xD :( Hope you didn't wait too long for me? It's night now in Poland, but I will try to catch up tomorrow, okay?

Didn't wait at all. I was going to start today, but IRL intervened.

[Feathersnow]

I have an IC. (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?653756-Fate-Accelerated-Dragon-Campaign-(IC)&p=25696227#post25696227) Please feel free to ask any questions here or Improvise as necessary

[Kaworu]

Okay, I understand literally nothing zD I need like, I dunno, some background or something? :D

[Feathersnow]

Fair enough.

The highlights-

This area used to be a Unified empire under a Demigod named Sargelus. He died 120 years ago, leaving three claimants. The living situation for veryone in the area since declined, and the two are not unrelated.

You represent a group of dragons, who are basically the equivalent of high level nobles (Dukes, Bishops, etc) in this Empire. You want to set things on a better course, probably by Installing Tianzhu as a new Emperor.

[ahyangyi]

Hmm, wanted to learn more (e.g. what are the other claimants, and whether Sargelus was also a minotaur). I wanted to ask these questions in IC, but it would be a bit weird if these are common knowledge in-universe.

[Feathersnow]

Sargelus was a Demigod who surpassed all limits of form and appeared to each viewer according to his will.

The three claimants are a Minotaur, a Doppelganger, and a Rakshasa. Each controls a large city and the surroundings spread out through the Empire.

[Feathersnow]

Anything else I can post to help you get into this game?

[JNAProductions]

I'm kinda at a loss as to how to get started. Not sure what can be done to help.

[Feathersnow]

I'm kinda at a loss as to how to get started. Not sure what can be done to help.

Fair. And thanks for being honest. I'm willing to negotiate and incorporate Improvisation from the party. But the basic premise is "you are a powerful dragon in a divided empire being attacked by Centaurs. The local regional king is doing less than nothing to help."

Tianzhu privately discussed a personal goal of becoming the new Emperor

[Nyan]

If everyone would be on board I had intended to write a post today basicly inviting you to my place in whatever capacity. Gather the party to discuss the matter so to speak with allitle introduction. If only to kick start the conversation :)

It should be in a bit.

Sure thing!

[Nyan]

There. Hope thats good to get us going. You guys can introduce yourselves name and appearance if you like.

Also like I stated in the ooc bit in my post if anyone is inclined to perhaps discuss a past interaction with me im all ears.

[Kaworu]

Oh noes xD I forgot to subcribe the game topic xD Sorry, gimme a minute... xD

[Nyan]

want to point out ooc that neither of you can actually see Tianzhu yet. since he is well...behind the huge curtain x3 Just letting you know so we are all on the same page. Sorry if that perticular detail was not clear enough in my descriptions.

Ill post sometime tomorow :)

[Kaworu]

Ah, okay, I will edit my post :-P

[Feathersnow]

I'm liking this interchange so far. A clash of larger than life personality. Let me know if you need me to intervene

[Nyan]

I do apolagize for the delay. But post is up now! Hope nobody got to restless :P

[ahyangyi]

Er, I rolled with wrong command in the IC thread; reroll here:

[roll0]

[JNAProductions]

You can use d3-2 for the Fudge Dice.
It makes a spread of -1 to +1.

So, [roll0] would generate the same result as [roll1] applying modifiers as needed.

[ahyangyi]

Good point. At first I tried to use 4d6, and saw no obvious way to directly add up the results. Then I realized I can just roll 4d3, but forgot to rethink about it.

Then perhaps I shouldn't have rerolled, since the original roll result was decipherable (and using the new result feels like cheating). I'll edit the IC post to reflect this.

[Kaworu]

Hm... I kinda wonder if the appropriate approach in this context shouldn't be Clever instead of Quick, but I am no GM? ;-)

[Nyan]

Hm... I kinda wonder if the appropriate approach in this context shouldn't be Clever instead of Quick, but I am no GM? ;-)

I would be inclined to agree. From what I understand you are trying to formulate a plan based on what the centaurs of capable of? Giving us a potential advantage to use in the future yes?

[Feathersnow]

Yeah, definitely clever

[ahyangyi]

Yep, should be clever. Post edited!

[Feathersnow]

Good work so far, I'm not sure if I should interfere yet.

[Nyan]

Ill post tomorow :)

Im having super fun with this btw.

Oh also dont worry gm you will get to play some too i promise xD

[JNAProductions]

I've not much to say at the moment, but I exist. :P

[Nyan]

Gonna have to post tomorow instead. Stuff came up. :)

[Kaworu]

AAAAAA :O :O :O :O :O

I still haven't subcribed to the IC topic T_T I am so sorry, gimme a minute.

[Feathersnow]

Seems like we are forming a plan!

[Nyan]

Posting sometime tomorow evening :)

[Nyan]

Posted. Hope that my delay hasnt caused any issues. Have had a rough week but I should be in the swing of things now.

[Kaworu]

Per me, it is okay ;-)

[Feathersnow]

I had a rough week, also. Going to move things forward soonest, sorry fir the delay.

[Feathersnow]

Still alive, intend to post tonight after work. Sorry for the delay.

[Kaworu]

It's okay ;-)

[Nyan]

We seem kinda disjointed with kawuro saying he is going now. ahyangyi saying tonight.

I was kinda thinking we would all go together?

[Kaworu]

Hm... I mean, I kinda do not see my character participating in a big party when they haven't really done anything yet to celebrate? :-P I mean, this is kinda... silly? xD

Sorry, I hope nobody is angry? ;-)

[Nyan]

Lol. I dont care either way. Just trying to figure out how we are traveling as a group or nah.

As for the reason to party...Tianzhu set it up for you guys to celebrate your mere arrival. And of course as a show of prosperity and wealth as plenty royalties tended to do back in the day.

[Kaworu]

Ah :D so we are celebrating our arrival :D Wasn't aware, it must have slipped my mind... xD But, you know, I am not really sure my character is aware... xD

Oh LOL, sorry xD I feel like a weirdo now xD

Im not exactly sure where to pick up the ball so to speak. Where are we more specificaly? Is anyone aproaching us upon our arrival? Are we landing outside the nearest town? Whats going on in the area atm?

[Feathersnow]

I was thinking we split the party. You and Trixie are going to rally the outlying districts while A&A rally the Burghers. Any ideas how you want to approach that?

[ahyangyi]

Considering both Azzelfet and Axeszanyreth are sneaky guys with escape tricks, I guess we'll just fly into the town at night and talk to them?

Also I think we more or less assumed we all have some shapechanging powers (between dragon form and human form), right?

Iirc, Tian Zhu has a trouble that he doesn't, but it is the default assumption, yes

[Kaworu]

Oh, so we are shapeshifters :D Cool :D

[Nyan]

Iirc, Tian Zhu has a trouble that he doesn't, but it is the default assumption, yes

Its not a specific trouble. But yes you could ceirtanly invoke my trouble of my arrogance to prevent me from doing so. But he can. He just most likley dont want to lol.

Sorry for the double post.

Let me rephrase the question.

Where are we? Like are we in the sky nearby the first town closest to my border? If so how does it look like? How big is it? Are there any people around? You have written we split up but given us nothing to really interact with.

All i feel i can do now IC is like "I arrive at the town." And then ill have to wait to see what happens next.

Or are we just gonna do a wide description of our actions rather than go in to detail and playing the scene out?

Ah. I see. I'm a little more used to collaborative world building than traditional RPGs. I will need to adjust. I will write a scene of you arriving at town with NPCs for you to play off of.

Please be patient.

No problem. Take your time.

Any progress or are we gonna try some other approach?

[Feathersnow]

I got sick, but I will try to post later tonight.

[Nyan]

Just checking in again if everyone is still around. Its easy with holdups like these ppl tend to lose track of the game. You other players still keen on playing more? cause right now it seems like its mostly me being active.

[Feathersnow]

I've been ill, but this game is at the top of my pile to update.

[Kaworu]

I still wanna play :-)

[ahyangyi]

I had a busy week, but will try to work it out.

This is still at the top of my update pile. I plan on getting something up today, but I keep getting distracted
