Thanks for your app Elfman! Something neat with some of the Anticanon of UVG is the Bluelanders are said to have fallen when their Blue God died and became a God of Rot. It will be interesting to see how this Bluelander may have escaped or accepted that fate.

A few questions:
- Are Aptitude and Hero Bonus the same thing? - Can I choose the skills I get from advancement or are they random? Is Learn limited to the acquisition of new skills or does it encompass expertise too? - Does "Sample List Skills" means that new ones can be added? - Is there a list of Abilities somewhere? - Does Hallucination represent mind magic, astral projections... this kind of things? Or just being really good at dealing with hallucinogenics? Or both? - Do Stats and Skills interact in rolls (for example Agility helping for Archery, or similar)? Other than that, everything is... really interesting. Last edited by Cap Ut; Jul 13th, 2020 at 06:41 PM. |

- Are Aptitude and Hero Bonus the same thing?
Yes, this was a case of me using two different rules drafts and forgetting a terminology change. I've fixed it in the document - Can I choose the skills I get from advancement or are they random? Is Learn limited to the acquisition of new skills or does it encompass expertise too? Generally the skills gained from advancement are random for, more or less, the fun of it, but choosing what you gain is also valid. You can also gain expertise by Learning, but it is in the more difficult category. - Does "Sample List Skills" means that new ones can be added? Absolutely - Is there a list of Abilities somewhere? Yes, I'm having to do a lot of clean up to make that list work well. I admittedly don't want to provide it right now so people don't try to build to abilities. I want to see what people come up with and we can either find abilities to match or we can create an ability wholesale to fit a vision. - Does Hallucination represent mind magic, astral projections... this kind of things? Or just being really good at dealing with hallucinogenics? Or both? Hallucination is actually a bad skill example and is unclear. I am replacing it with Psychonaut which is much more flavorful and covers everything in your question. - Do Stats and Skills interact in rolls (for example Agility helping for Archery, or similar)? The Skills tell us whether or not you are considered proficient in a set of knowledge, think like Martial Weapons Proficiency in traditional DnD. Archer says you are trained in archery, are capable in maintaining your bow, and can do your own fletching. More ranks in Archer the more you are able to pull of a Legolas. If you are a Skilled Archer, you add your Hero Bonus and your related stat (in this case Agility fits). If you are not a skilled archer, you can still try to shoot a bow. You will, however,only add your stat and you would roll at disadvantage. Every roll in SEACAT is 1d20+Stat+Skill > Target. A number of things can be done without a skill and is just a 1d20+Stat roll. A portion of the fun too though is finding how to apply your skill to the situation. If you had the skill "Office Worker" you can probably say that you are also a capable driver for the commute. This would apply to like a normal every day sort of driving test. However in the case of say, a Mad Max chase across desert terrain filled with obstacles, you probably would prefer the fellow with more focused "Driver" skill.

Application - UVG: Neon Wanderers & Porcelain Gods
Hello World!
This is my first post here. TLN has pulled me into this world of PbP and I'm fairly new to everything about this and forum-posting so I apologize in advance for any mistakes ^^;; Here's my character for this adventure: ![]() As for the system: I never played anything besides D&D 5e so it'd be most comfortable using that system. But I can try SEACAT no problem, it'll be a new experience and I hope I'll be able to adapt to this new system without much "whiplash". I hope we'll be able to tell many tales together! |

Greetings and welcomes, Povs! A friend of TLN's is an object of awkward fixation a friend of mine.
Your concept seems sufficiently skeletal for me. Am I detecting some hints of octarine flavor?

Nice to meet you, Grozug! Thank you for the warm welcome!
It apparently is a coincidence, because I didn't know about Octarine prior to making this character (I had to search to see what it was), as I haven't read any of the Discworld books (Something I'll have to do in due time!). Be prepared for many skeletal puns ![]() |

Getting some final stuff together for the subforum if there are any more takers out there!

Errrm, if applications are still being taken I'd like to...register my interest? I mean, this sounds cool, but atm I'm not sure if I can think of a character idea coherent enough to grab me : /
So I guess what I'm saying is, if there's still time and space available I'd hopefully like to fill some of the latter...but I'm currently not sure on if I'm able to do so. If there is still time for more applicants I should know for sure if I've got an idea in the next couple days, but if the game's pretty full or the plan is to start in the very near future then that's totally understandable ![]() |

I've still got a bit before I'm ready to go Eli, so go ahead and give it some thought and send something in!

Thanks for the reply LawfulNeutral, I ended up with an idea that is some sort of way
![]() Honestly not super happy with how this turned out; I really like the setting and the overall vibe, but I had a hard time finding a character type where I could imagine what being that character might be like moment-to-moment : / So while the character idea is complete for this stage, if it strikes as too poorly formed for inclusion in the game then that's totally understandable |

Hey,
This seems really cool and I’d like to participate if you’re still taking apps. I’m not familiar with the system yet, but I’d vote for SEACAT. Name: E.N.D.U.R.E. -30-22 (Friends call him Ender) Concept: He is the one of the last surviving projects from a monastery hidden beyond civilization whose religion was the creation of a techno organic AI system, the E.N.D.U.R.E. project. Is he a man brainwashed to think he’s a machine or a machine with the body of a man? Who can know? Want:To examine and experience life to further his programing and become “human”. Need: To further the program and eventually create E.N.D.U.R.E-31-00 Last edited by Aegis; Aug 5th, 2020 at 11:26 AM. |
