I'll play! But...I'm with Rika and very confused about what all I read.

Medieval Stargate.

I'd be interested in playing, were it not for the annoying restrictions of Australian time.

I'm baffled about where to even begin. The lady in red with all the undead caught my eye and I thought about making a necromancer type character that is very vain and emotional, but...the magic options don't fit in with it...and the the elements are confusing.

Making a character isn't too hard if you don't let the cards confuse you. Apparently you can just make up whatever you want with inspiration from them. I did this before and ended up with at least a half-making-sense character, so most of you can probably manage.

That said, I think I deleted that file, and I don't know whether this will be email or IRC, and I don't know who I'd be playing with, so withholding for now.

I'm going to look at the Wiki, but it does sound interesting!

Hmm... perhaps I shall join! I have no idea what kind of character to make, but maybe staring at those Vision Card thingies will help.

Also, I can really only play if it's by email, because my playing times are very intermittent.

Shiri, your old character is still there on the wiki.

I've added steps to the front page for where to begin. The most important things are:

• Tell me if you're interested in playing by chat or email or either, and if chat, what times work for you. I don't want you wasting a lot of time making a character for a version of the game that might not end up happening! (Might actually run two, one each way, if there's enough interest.)
• Read the wiki. Learn about the game and world.
• Join the space. I'll make a page for your character.
• Follow the directions for making a character on the Heroes page. Yes, it really is that freeform, open, and unstructured. This is about creativity, not stats. It's all designed to inspire, so don't be confused by an element whose purpose isn't clear: just go with it, give it a try, and let the inspiration find you. Do it in any order. Just jot down notes and fill in the details later. Let inspiration and creativity, not structure and limitation, be your watchwords.

The biggest obstacle is overthinking it before you try it.

seems interesting with celina and others who are confused

Heheh, it really isn't that confusing. Just read the articles, such as the Heroes article, etc.

I finished my character already!

GO FINISH/START YOUR CHARACTERS PEOPLE!!

I am impatient. :'(


EDIT: Also, getting on #Lusternia and getting tips and advice from Gwylifar and us is helpful if your really stuck.

I don't know where to start

Hey, I think I'm starting to understand it a bit now that I've read through everything there is to read. I realised that if you only read a few pages, you confuse yourself more. Anyway, do we just edit our character pages whenever we feel like it?

Mine is pretty much done as well.

And yeah, just edit your page yourself filling it in with the details.

So for the powers, we just do what we want and see if the gamemaster approves of it and how many points it takes?

Pretty much anything within reason I imagine. Take a look at my page, I made up my own powers. 20 points evenly between elements/powers/magic.

Yeah, just think of some trait or ability that fits your character and is a bit out of the norm.

vorld: Just read/skim the pages till you get an idea of what you want your character to be. Also, join the Wikispace and send Gwylifar a message so you can get a character sheet to edit. Read Heroes go down especially.

You can just write rough notes and leave it to me to assign points, or you can try doing it yourself and I might change it or disallow it. Whichever way works better for you.

I'll be around in #Lusternia on irc.deathwyrm.net:7000 for those who feel like getting into IRC. (Though the next few hours I'll be GMing my realspace group so I won't be responsive.) But you can also just leave me messages or make notes on your character page.

Just don't forget to vote on the IRC-versus-email thing. Everything else hinges on that.

Hm. So for these Vision Cards, we can just use any images we feel are appropriate? (Asking because I have a Tarot deck that I absolutely love, and I'd like to pull from that.)

Yep!
