Alrighty. I'll think of something. Thanks Botherer. I hope times work out for me to join as well. I'll wait for your other applicants to discuss times as well. |

Interested here. Saturdays are not so good for me, but I'm good with Wednesday evenings. So, a few questions. 5 about the game itself, and 3 about the story: 1: Is this an ongoing campaign you're recruiting for, or is it one you're just starting? (For example, the snippets you posted. Were they from this game or a different one?) 2: How many players are you looking for? 3: What kind of experience would players need with the system? 4: How will this be played? IRC? MapTool? PbP? 5: Are starters allowed to have TM or Tutored moves to start with? If so, how many? 6: You mentioned the Sages are recruiting people from all over the world, does that mean people from typical, modern society as well? 7: What's the general age range you expect your characters to be in, or are the Sages even picky about this? 8: Does this take place in the Pokemon world presented in the games/anime/comics, or is this another world entirely? I will consider what kind of character I want to play and reply once these questions are answered. Edited by TheAmazingPeanut, Apr 13 2011, 12:02 PM.

To answer the questions... 1 - I'm basically using one campaign plot that I thought of for two separate, completely independent groups. Why? Because I can. (The snippets I pulled were from previous sessions of the group I run for my friends on another server, but this group is starting from Ground Zero.) But a flat answer is that this is a fresh group. 2 - I guess I'm looking for five players in my group. Five seems to be a nice number, as at the moment I got four Trainers and a Pokemon actively playing in my other group. 3 - Range of experience? I'd prefer that there be SOME experience with P:TA, but if someone's new I'll help ease them into the system. (I intend for the prologue to be something that'd explain several of the basics to the group, as well as the aforementioned special mechanics.) 4 - I'm gonna be running on IRC in the /tg/ server (I'm sure directions on how to get there are SOMEWHERE in here, though I'm not quite sure where. If you use Mibbit, for example, the port is irc.thisisnotatrueending.com:6667 and the channel where we'd meet up in beforehand is #pokeymans ) 5 - The Sages are recruiting people from all over the world; so your character can be from normal, modern society. However, all of the characters are gonna start off en route to Vermilion or Saffron City, dependant on where they choose to start out. 6 - There's no age range for the characters so long as it's within reason; I wouldn't expect an eighty-year-old man to be running around slaying bad guys if they can help it, nor would I expect a magically gifted baby to be smiting evil. Just use your intuition and the general limitations of human ability on this one, I guess. 7 - The characters will begin in the canon Pokemon world, then be brought to the new world in an as of yet unforetold manner. I can't believe I forgot to address half of these questions in the starting post. *If you saw me when I first read these questions, you would also see the giant red palmprint now embedded into my forehead from facepalming so hard.* I hope I answered them sufficiently. (Editing this into the main post.) |

Thanks for the answers. Somehow I just keep coming up with more questions to ask, but fortunately these are quick ones. In my last post I edited in a question about TM and Tutored moves on starting pokemon (apparently while you were in the middle of posting). I am also wondering about Dream World abilities, particularly if it's even possible to catch pokemon with these abilities (and if our starters are allowed to have them).

Hehe. That makes me consider trying to make a pokemon as a character. But... I believe that would raise all kinds of RP variants and mischief I'm not sure I'd be able to handle ATM. ^^; So if you'll have me and times work I'd like one of your five spots. If I don't work out I'll step down. Also thanks for answering all those questions, that helps me work on my story too. I'd kindof like to know what some of the other players are considering in their characters before I make a final submission but I'm thinking like a young kid gifted in aura. When I say young I mean like 9 or ten. Would this potentially be acceptable given a good back story of course? |

One more question: The Capture Specialist's abilities that apply to Pokeballs, these will work pretty much the same on Containment crystals, right? |

Capture Specialists' features apply as normal. However, due to the nature of Containment Crystals not breaking (and rather only forcing you to expend Energy Shards to continue using them if your first roll fails), some of the features of Capture Specialist I'm gonna modify if anyone actually takes it up. |

Okay. I was going to attempt to go Capture Specialist/Engineer (and maybe Artificer or Researcher later). I figure in a primitive world like this, technology brought from the mainland would be one of our best assets. Even if I can't bring anything from the mainland, I can at least kludge something together from what's at hand that would be beneficial.

If my opinion is worth anything, Botherer does a good job at GMing, especially when you remember that he's relatively new to it (I've played various systems with him since early September, which is when he was first introduced to PTA). And shenanigans is definitely the right word for it, but I think he's overreacting a little; a lot of those shenanigans originated from the PCs, not himself. But that's not to say there will be a shortage of silliness from his side of the screen. Anyway, I wish you all the best of luck and hope you enjoy the game. I'll probably watch you guys play as well, though maybe not too much. I'm in his other version of Fallen, so I don't want to spoil anything for myself. |
