Right. Apologies for taking so long to respond again, but with those two one sentence responses I think we need to move this discussion to someplace more... dynamic.

Since we got one no to GMing, and one maybe if you look at it from the right angle, I can just be the GM. And since you both answered the first question but not the second I'm making the executive decision just to go with Eberron.

As for more dynamic discussion, the entire point of the delay was for me to pull up my pants and create a Discord server. Channels and roles have been set up, though you'll need to join the server for me to assign you roles. I'm generating a one use link for both of you, and sending it via Private Message. I'm hoping the discord server will allow things to pick up the pace a little bit. You'll need to wait for me to assign you a role before you can comment on anything, but aside from the existence of the channels there is nothing much to comment on yet.

OK, so we're talking 7pm Eastern, 5pm Moutain, as a the earliest start time. Weekdays preferred by Selden, but not Wednesday.
I will note that the Pathfinder 2.0 playtest won't even be out till August and it will take time to slap together the house rules, so circumstances will change for many of us before then.

I do have a worry, and it mostly comes from the line "four or five would probably be a good idea... and of course a GM". That is the basis for a standard gaming group... but that wasn't what I was proposing.
My original idea was a group of four to five people, with each character from a different world, and working on a round robin system of GM responsibility. If you guys read and digested all that, that's great. If all you saw was "Looking for a Pathfinder 2.0 game"... then we might need to sit down and talk some more.

Given the lackluster response gained from the initial proposal, I'm all for changing the direction. I could slap together four to five worlds, and just let the players choose from them. This would loose the round robin approach while maintaining the original vision proposed. Alternatively, I could just do one world, though if I do that I would prefer to just do a furry conversion of Eberron rather than create anew for various reasons.

If you guys want to stick to the original idea, we need to expand our feelers and search in other communities (I'm rather introverted, my original soap box stand only covered three plus one stand alone friend). This does mean we might be working with some nonfurries.
If you guys want to go with the idea of must me being the GM, than I would like you two to decide which of the two approaches you would prefer me to do since so far you would be the only players and I would hate to loose you.

First thing, thank you both for your response.

Second thing, the person responding on Discord said they were mostly voicing words of encouragement and believe that we're both in different timezone... so that's a bust. So as of yet the only respondents are you two.

Speaking of which, I'm Eastern Standard Timezone. This is about the time we should double check such levels of compatibility before moving forward. And considering the ruleset we're going to be using isn't in playtest until August there isn't any rush, just a reminder to keep on moving towards the goal. Speaking of, second thing to do would be to decide on a method of communication; I favor Discord now-a-days, and it does hold the advantage of creating one subchannel per to world facilitate design talk, but I know some have trouble using it for voice chat.

I guess there is also a question of how much further recruitment should be done. I've tapped those communities I feel comfortable doing so with... and where I didn't find silence I instead found concerns about availability. So as of yet it's just the three of us; three isn't an impossible gaming group but I'd feel more comfortable with just a little more... unless you both think that would make things unmanageable for such a creative endeavor like joined world building.

Role Play Theater / Pathfinder 2.0 Crazy Gaming Group Idea

« on: April 11, 2018, 08:16:27 PM »

I created a journal in FA advertising interest in... well the topic says it all. Link to the FA journal here.

But, since this is a forum and not a chat room, I can post the text of the journal directly.

I picked up Starfinder thinking that it would be my gateway back into playing RPGs again, instead of just gorging on the source books and never playing a single session. As of yet, no Starfinder games... so I'm starting up early for Pathfinder 2.0. Playtest isn't even out till August, so let's set up a gaming group now.

Trick is, I want to be a player, but I also want to world build... and somewhere in the middle of contemplating those contradictions, I came up with an idea that would all both me and everyone else at the gaming table to be both. I know round table GMing isn't a unique idea, but normally you play in one world. But, what if, all the player characters came from different worlds? And all those worlds are connected by a hub, let's say on the astral plane for the sake of conversation. And at least at the beginning time will be spent exploring the hub and those worlds to make sense of it all, with each player stepping in to introduce their creation. From there, decisions have to be made... but I think it could be a lot of fun.

Of course, ground rules need to be set. I personally think the GM can control their character during exploration and downtime, but they should probably hand it over to another player during combat encounters; everyone's a GM in this situation, so riding two characters at once shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Also while some stuff needs to be kept hidden, certain mechanical elements of the homebrewing should be shared upfront. Not just for balance issues but also meshing the worlds together; if one person has a Science Fantasy world while another has an Urban Fantasy world, they'll both need to agree somewhat on how the homebrewd Computer skill would work.

...and yeah. Until I have someone to bounce ideas off of, that is the extent of my pitch. This would, of course, mean a level of dedication to actually pick up the Pathfinder 2.0 Playtest in August, and possibly the full setting whenever it is finalized. But if you're interested there is no reason not to start planning out the fluff now. I'll pass links to this journal around and see who I can get to bite, but eventually those who do bite will need more flexible venue to talk in... once again, though, something to discuss once people are interested.

I'm a little hesitant to post this here, mostly because I've been gone for so long that I probably won't know the majority of the people who might respond with interest. But I know know so few people anywhere so that is a hesitation I'm going to have to put aside.

Also, aside from basic premise, little has been decided. So once we actually have a group of people, stuff like table rules will need to be discussed. There's so far there has been only one maybe interested party. I have one stream I might drop a link into with the streamer's permission... and after that, maybe a second discord. If I can't get three to five interested people out of that I'm not sure what I'd do.

Art Gallery / Re: Bodybuilding Contest With Daren The Werefox - Group Commission

« on: April 05, 2018, 07:58:10 PM »

*blows epic levels of dust off account*

Caleb's commission information doesn't mention his additional character rates, but assuming it's the normal 50% base cost I'm in.

Question is, which character do you want?
Raf Cian because it's a Crimson Flag community thing... and he'll likely come with the Auto Buffer for some of those looking to catch up to Daren.
Or Ryan Galen, for actual muscle definition and maybe that friendly rivalry between him and Daren that is probably only in my head.
...guess you could also choose Cyrus Cian, but he doesn't have any ref's for Caleb to use. So I wouldn't recommend it unless you really like the idea of blue hair.

I'm more concerned about who would fit into the end product than any particular character getting representation, so I'll let Daren decide. I'm only offering one, so I'll be curious to see who he most desires.

The irony is that after a display that blatant, the guards would actually believe their story.

I'd like to see your rendition of Ryan Galen as a Cerberus.
You've drawn Ryan Galen before here.
While you know what a cerberus is, I typically picture right head being white and his left head being black... that is of course assuming such colors matter for a sketch. If it does, and you need help keeping track of the character's left and right from your left and right, use this Aywas reference here. Otherwise, I leave details on bipedal or feral (and corporeal or incorporeal) to the artist.

Hmm... well that's one way to get around the upper limits of mass problem.

Hopefully there are other solutions. Like lots pumping your mass as large as you can go, getting a lot of food and exercise at the new size, and then pumping it higher once you mass naturally increases underneath the cloak.

...mind you, given that under the "cloak" they are all animals, that might not be a solution at all, but I'm holding out hope.

Is it just me, or does Julian look a little more buff?

I see what you're talking about, but it might not mean anything. It's been 130 comics or so since we've seen Julian, and Virmir's ability to draw muscle tone on toons has improved. Just look how Nick suddenly had a muscle tone in comic 282.

The maximum mass seems to be limited? Well that crushes the dreams of me and some of the taurs in the room.

Oh, and yes. I do agree that this is totally connected to the so called "true power of the goddess" that the True Starist were wielding.

I do think we need to hold off on calling it a red racial ability. Check with some arctic or fennic fox mages first... there are arctic fox mages, right?

First thing, it goes without saying, but I approve of the third panel. This certainly explains what the True Starist where doing. I guess it's a good thing that Lucian was branching out from his fire magic specialization. I wonder though how often we'll get to see himself and others buffed up, though. Probably with a healthy balance of shrinking and other shenanigans, knowing the writer... actually knowing Virmir the entire comic has been a build up to this page.

Oh, and I don't think we have to worry about Julian suddenly discovering this talent. He's far too specialized with fire magic, only using other forms of magic by way of artifice. Mind you, I can see the situation in the capital getting out of hand enough that Lucian ends up rescuing and curing his father. Lucian might not abuse the size perfecting qualities of this new form of magic, but Julian certainly would to some extent.

Well, we have had another feature patch, so I guess it's time to see if there is any interest in the forum.

The Crimson Flag Guild still exists. I'm the Guild Leader, but the only other player is Draykin. I can't promise anything major, but I'll continue to invest influence when I can and build up the resources. Who knows, it might be a fully built guild eventually.

With that said, it's the Crimson Flag Guild, not my personal bank guild. So if you want an invite, shoot me your name so I can invite you. My unique ID is Benjamin Mahir.7986
Character names...
Raf Cian
Ryan Galen
Benjamin Mahir
Demra De Grenth
Fimnai Kizarmn

Those are my eighties. You'll catch me on one of those sometimes after daily reset most days. Who knows, maybe Crimson Flag will become more my main guild that Relics of Orr.

I just want to say that X-Ray Tetra appears to be our only choice. And not just because of that link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_Tetra

A completely different link lists many animals that potentially have X in their name, but many of them are a super order or genus. Almost none are an individual animal aside from the X-Ray Tetra. It's almost like someone in zooalogy just REALLY doesn't like the letter X.

Seldragon and Calebgon having an fish eating contest. Expressions can be very flexible, though I think it would be most funny if Calebgon was surprised at how much Seldragon was eating. You know, make it look like the infamous glutton might actually loose. Suggested background/foreground would be various fish stands in various states of having been/waiting to be devoured.

Seldragon: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11482075/

Yes, I am blatantly using the references those two provided.

Season One: I liked it, but it also had the benefit of doing everything for the first time.

Season Two: Could have been better, but I really liked the idea of continuity in general so it did eventually grow on me by the time it ended.

Season Three: This took forever for me to accept. At first I thought it was a prequel to Season One. It took me forever to accept that it was just an alternate universe. It was certainly OK once you get past that and it's few awkward opening episodes.

Season Four: I LOVED Data Frontier. I can understand that some people may have been a little put off, but that's them and I'm me. It divorced itself rather thoroughly from the mythology of the first world, so unlike Tamers there was no confusion at the beginning that this was an alternate reality. Beyond that I liked all it's concepts in general, all the way up to it's ending... actually have a little bit of a fan fiction idea mostly inspired by this season.

Season Five: ...I've yet to watch Data Squad. The switch over to Disney/ABC Family took me off guard.

Season Six: ...also haven't watched this. Only really found out about it recently and I'm not sure where I could see it.
