Subject: Player list
Thanks to everyone for their interest, and Im sorry to those of you I couldn't take on, but I wanted to keep the group manageabe.
At this time, Eol Fefalas, Admiral, Almerin, Steelight and Celeste are going to be players in the game, with Tek and Jozan1 having laid claim to first 2 reserve slots (don't worry, people will die). If anyone that didn't make it in wants to be on the reserve list, please let me know, as I'd love to have you. Cheers.
Those that are in, please just drop a quick post here letting me know you're up for it if you're around. Fantastic ice cream trucks.

Subject: Answering questions,
In order.
At the time, the USA is still in a great deal of national debt. The deal with Fantastico was beneficial to both sides and given it's complete isolation and lack of cross border traffic it's given the Americans no real problems. While officially they have no business in the city, whether they actually do or not is another matter.
The world in Fantastico has become only slightly better on the large scale. Computers are more widespread, networks are stronger and almost all available technology has become more efficient. Cleaner transport (electric cars, monorails) were popular before everything went to shit. While no one ventures into Central Park anymore, it is clear there was more going on behind the scenes. However, if there are any robots/mutants/lasers/flying cars they're locked up in long abandoned labs and in the minds of their missing inventors.
Yes, yes and yes. While the whole city falls to shit, everyone is doing everything. Picture it as almost post apocalyptic but localised. You have cults, gangs, armies and inviduals all fighting for the causes they believe in. Just about every one of them wants Fantastico HQ, as it's the most technologically advanced and safest structure left on the island. Fantastico still holds up in it, benefit from its fortress-like nature.
Also, it's Mr. Fantasi V, Fantastico is the company name. Just thought I'd clear that up, because I see that becoming confusing.
Also, tentative player list later today, as have heard from all the invitees. I might have to draw names from a hat.

Topic: How does this go again?
Subject: asdf
The good part of playing by post is that you don't have to be together. Generally things go in turns of sort, where the DM posts a large sweeping update, followed by the players posting reactions and leading into the next update. Non-combat posts generally are large things that cover a great deal of time (so it doesnt take six pages to get through a town) and combat posts tend to be short "I light my face on fire and headbutt the goblin" posts.
Edit: I should note, they're usually longer than what I described. You should find a good thread like CWWLLO for good examples.

Subject: Afraid not
Im afraid that would just be too seldom for how I want this game to go. If at any time your schedule permits more regular posting, don't hesitate to look for a slot in the game, but as of right now I'd like a once a week minimum for all posters.

What's your favourite colour? Also, PbP takes a bit of getting used to, the best way is probably to just look at some of the threads, and remember the DM rolls all the dice.

Subject: City Fantastico Awesome Character Creation Thread
In the far, far distant future of 2015 great and awesome things were afoot (that's right, past-future tense!). Fantastico (formerly Fantasti Co.) a large, multi-faceted and strangely tax exempt company purchased Manhattan Island, seceded from the United States and declared itself an independant nation, barricaded and unreachable by any outsiders. City Fantastico, as it is called, initially flourished under the leadership of Mr. Fantasti IV, the ancient CEO of Fantastico. Under his careful watch (and on his dime) City Fantastico showcased some of the most remarkable events of the 21st century; a steroid fueled Football league, unrestrained scientific advances, the largest World's Fair in the history of earth and a robust film production facility ushered in a golden age for the newly formed nation. Crime was at an all time low, fun was at an all time high, and the nations best economists predicted that as long as Mr. Fantasti IV was there to guide them, nothing could possibly go wrong.
They were exactly right.
The year is now 2023, three years after the sudden disappearance of Mr. Fantasti IV. His son, Mr. Fantasti V "leads" the country in his absence, but he is hardly the man his father was. Fantastico's control on its own country has slipped. Large lavish stadiums and high rises have given way to slums and gang violence, Central Park remains overgrown with bizarre plants, the results of abberant science left unchecked, and the large military for hire that once maintained the safety of the city has abandoned their posts. Long since ostracized from the remainder of the world, large portions of City Fantastico have fallen under control of local factions, all locked in a power struggle for what remains of the wealth, power and knowledge that once fueled the great city. Barricaded within their fortress like HQ at the centre of the city, Fantastico's Executive Board makes a desperate play to regain control of their city.
~-----------~
I am looking for 4-5 players to play in this game. It's an original world filled with influences from just about every video game, comic book, action movie and particularily drunken adventure I've ever played, read, seen or had. Here's a quick list of things you should know about playing it.
- The system is a combination of homebrew and d20 modern. The characters are completely homebrew and once I have the players in I'll give out character creation details. Suffice to say, if you can think it, you can make it (within reason, you are still humans, you are not robots, or mutant winged things, Yet. Seeing how I made this specifically for the game, I am open to suggestions if you want your character to feel a specific way. I want this to be fun. And Awesome.
- This thread is for open recruitment, but I have a few players I've invited in advance, as it's been a while since I got to play with them. This isn't really going to be a first come first serve situation, and I don't want to seem like an asshole, but I'm going to pick what players I'd like in this game. If I didn't invite you, it doesn't mean I don't want you, I only invited 2-3 close people I haven't gamed with in a while. There are open slots.
- About once a week for a post is fine. Will move faster if posts come faster.
- This is not to be taken SERIOUSLY. I want this game to be fun, over the top and awesome. I want cliched characters, dramatic actions and both pre and post-mortem one liners. It's like pulp fiction action porn. Yes.
- While it's close to being free-form, there is a rules system in place. You might not understand it, I might not understand it, but its there.
- The story I've got for this, I actually like it. I've put effort into it. If you're not willing to do the same, I might not want you in this game. Decent posts, of decent length, with minimal spelling mistakes (I mean, spellcheck) should be considered a minimum.
- Always remember Grugg loves you.

I'd probably have made casual conversation with anyone on the boat who was trying to talk to me. I'd have mentioned my destination but probably no specifics as to why. They'd probably guess something from the fact that I have a guisarme with me though I suppose.

They removed Mysticism, which in Oblivion was useful for about one spell, and moved all those spells into different schools. I beleive they also combined athletics/acrobatics into one skill.
The list of improvements far outways any concerns about skill reduction. Especially if thats all I am losing.
