Topic: The Global Sketchpad - OOC Thread

Let's try a completely freeform roleplay. Make up the world and characters as you go. The only real guideline I provide is to maintain a sense of scale (which is difficult if players get too power-hungry tongue)

Discussion, coordination, and random cheese goes in this thread.

Oh, goody!

I'll never know if it was worth the pain, but I still loved it more than anything in the world - it was my life.

Re: The Global Sketchpad - OOC Thread

First post is up.

You can build off of it or do your own thing, either works smile

Re: The Global Sketchpad - OOC Thread

My piece is short, but I just had to write it big_smile

SkyWarp: to The Legend, an old roleplay we had. Stonehawk was one of the major characters and defined a lot of the storyline tongue

omg humidity, join space again:p

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: The Global Sketchpad - OOC Thread

Humidity, up to now there are a few references to The Legend, but it's nothing drastic so you won't feel left out much tongue

I need to find a way to get into this story, other than my raven piece. Everyone seems eager on getting the story in a faster pace, while I was just creating surroundings tongue Although I guess that could be a nice role for me too big_smile

Re: The Global Sketchpad - OOC Thread

Bring in Amalar or something tongue

And Humidity, rejoin Space tongue

Re: The Global Sketchpad - OOC Thread

I have decided to restrict Amalar to his original story-version and to not use him in roleplays anymore tongue


I see the raven's been brought into it, perhaps I can elaborate on him after all. That'll be for tomorrow or Saturday though.

Re: The Global Sketchpad - OOC Thread

Yes, you can fork The Global Sketchpad.

No, this doesn't mean classic Sketchpad is closed.

Yes, Paradise Lost is a roleplay.

Re: The Global Sketchpad - OOC Thread

Sounds fun big_smile



:EDIT:

What kind of technology does each civilization have at the time of Paradise Lost? I'm guessing that the Monks have the least, then Alchemists, then Pirates (1800s?) and then Utopia has most modern weaponry?

Re: The Global Sketchpad - OOC Thread

Yeah, that feels about right. Sanctus Petrus balances its pre-medieval technology with divine strength, with the respective deities intervening on their believers' behalf as much as permitted by the Edicts of Guthix. Nordenstadt's mostly medieval technology is balanced by powerful magic (e.g. weather control tongue). Salamandastron's technology is about 1700s-early 1800s; they have a vicegrip on most of the Western Sea, balanced by their fish-out-of-water situation farther from the coast. Utopia's technology is ultra-modern, think 2142 or so, but they have no real naval presence, their hypertech navy eradicated by a massed Nordenstadt assault on their shipyards in the second year of the war - not to mention they are the least economically developed nation among the four right now.

Sanctus Petrus is a monastic civilization, so they have not much in the way of combat technology. Warrior-monks fight with their hands, or occasionally with staves or maces. That doesn't mean they're pushovers, though - after all, who needs technology when you have God or gods on your side? tongue

Nordenstadt's war tech was elaborated on a little in my last post; that should give you an idea of what they have.

Salamandastron has swords, awesome ships, black-powder firearms, cannons, and now repeating rifles.

The Bloodmoon Order has a motley collection of stuff salvaged from the ruins - industrial machinery that survived the warfare, as well as a collection of projectile and rocket weapons ranging from pistols to heavy machine guns to mounted railguns for safehouse defense. The few intact buggies, as well as other vehicles jury-rigged from scraps of wreckage welded together and an electric motor and some guns strapped on, compose its fast-attack force.
