Dungeon Keepers: TSW OOC Thread

I'd say that the title gives you about all the information you might need concerning this thread. It's for discussion about my roleplay Dungeon Keepers, which becomes essential when intercharacter interaction becomes involved. It is here that I keep my compendium, a source of all knowledge concerning our characters, minions, realms, what have you.

Link to IC thread, where all the necessary information is:

Get gabbing, people. Ask me questions, like "Can I be *x*?" or "What was *x* like at 1818 since Ican't use Google?" or even "What were you drinking when you came up with this?"

You said on the Sporum that I could have a Rogue Construct who came through the portal, but need he start out as a human like all our keepers? That wouldn't work out well, since a construct can't exactly have imps and just grow more powerful by building a dungeon.

Naw, he doesn't need to start out as a human. Since he won't get exponentially more powerful as time goes on and will stay relatively the same, you can start him out as whatever you have planned.

wasn't the first version of this by one of the guys from the roleplay thread? N-something? Neonus? I seem to recall him making one a long time ago, and the later version building off that.

I-I... am kind of interested. I'm not entirely sure what to do with my dungeon keeper or what kind of creatures to make (maybe steampunk/clockwork robots), but I think I want to set up a dungeon maze in the Grand Canyon. Kind of like cave system inside there?

I want to make my third creature integrate into the dungeon itself, turning my dungeon into a kind of genus loci. That'd be really, really cool. 'it's okay guys, there's nothing her ohgodthewallsjustmovednowthere'sahoardofmonsters!'

yeah!

@Jester, your imagination is the limit, aside from my general rules. You may by all means have a steampunk army in the Grand Canyon, but your robotic legion's pastime could very well be limited to terrorizing Native Americans. And the closest person to you right now is probably Cursive.

Remember to put compendium descriptions at the bottom of your posts, please.

I'll post something soon as I think of something. I'm a bit busy atm.

Huzzah! A new age approaches.

I should mention you have not covered Rogue Constructs sufficiently in the IC.

And are we on our own for figuring out how to gain power?

I'll look into Rogue Constructs. As for gaining power, is it not said in the OP that we gain power as our Dungeon is built and expands and we conquer?

yes, but we're starting at square zero. No dungeon, no imps, no nothing. Are there any rules about how we find the imps, or what?

I think my guy is turning into a nature dude, with an affinity for cold. Should be interesting. I think I'll have to steal something from the golden compass in that case, though...

I knew that. And we are left on our own to figure out how to do that as a mere human. Sounds like a challenge. Of course, I suppose it would vary from Keeper to Keeper, and place to place.

Speaking of places, I can't decide where to put my Keeper to start building my Dungeon (eventually). It can't be too heavily populated, so major cities are out of the question. But it has to have strong marine activity. I'm thinking of somewhere connected to the Atlantic Ocean, so either Eastern America or Western Europe. Even just a general region would do. My knowledge of geography is too small to decide on even a general location.
Connected to trade routes, Atlantic Ocean, small city/medium town, coastal. Anyone with any idea what part(s) of the world I might possibly find such a place? I don't even need a specific town. Just a vague location.

the area around the southern tip of Alaska is full of small towns, has a massive trade role(once you mine up some gold), and has obvious potential for maritime power.

Plus, then we could meet up, and try to kill/ ally each other!

It is a challenge, yeah. Two two main options I see are using magic to summon imps (Which I will allow) or bending humans to your cause.

As for location, I believe Tripoli, on Africa's northern coast to the very busy Mediterranean, would satisfy those requirements. I'm no expert but I believe it has some potential.

@Phoden, was mentioning your Keeper's junk really necessary? Also, you have magical armor and weapons and some power without having any sort of Dungeon which a Dungeon Keeper needs to have things like magical gear and powers.

You didn't mention Africa as a spot, BBeast. The slave trade would still be in business, with thousands of Africans from further inland being captured and shipped across the Middle Passage to the Caribbean, Southern USA, and South American ports.

The abundance of slaving ships would mean you could easily capture a fleet and dominate the seas, and you could either assist with the slave trade to grow wealthy or practically destroy the market, which would have a big impact on the Americas, at least.

Edit: Got ninja'd by cavalier. In Phoden's defense, I for one interpreted his post as saying that his magical armor and junk wasn't working. I think Carmina Rege was just making the realization that the powers he had possessed on Outremar suddenly vanished.

Edit 2: Nevermind, Phoden made another post I hadn't seen at the time I made my first edit.

there were also like 300 typos and the 'paragraphs' were so short they practically didn't say anything. C'mon, phoden, put some work into editing your stuff!

It may be possible that Phoden doesn't have English as a first language. Either that, some kind of mental deficiency (for example, dyslexia), or is simply lazy. He has expressed that he can and enjoys reading our long and literate posts. My guess is second language.

But why guess when you can ask? Phoden, if you don't mind us asking, is English your native language?




My potential options are: Canada (Newfoundland looks promising in my atlas, with several sea routes passing it) or Africa (with its heavy slave trade activity). I'll look into it. Any further insight is appreciated.

... 1800s... sea stuff...

dear god do you want newfoundland. They have all the boats. Trade boats, fishing boats, and even a few military boats, I think, left over from the war of 1812. And when I say fishing boats, I mean like an armada

like

just objectively way too many boats


EDIT: I am going to be Tekkeitsertok, native god of caribu, hunting, and the earth. Why? Because I want to lead the inuit on a rampage to regain their lost land.

This is gonna be fun.

Here, have a shitty post from yours truly.

How exactly would I get started on the production of imps?

come up with a MAGIC method by which you can call them, begin casting spell to call them, call them, ???, PROFIT!

Also, weren't you going technokeeper? 'Cause if so, you should make automatons in place of imps.

Just sayin'

Thanks to the inspiration derived from Joural and the guy that posted before me (Element?) I HAVE SOLVED ALL OF MY PROBLEMS.

Now to think of a way to wreck Joural's hippy army... shouldn't be too hard...

I'm kinda interested in this so I won't make any promises but I may post something for this later.

My main language is dutch. But English is my second best language. Bless god for those old Zoro series.

Cavalier.

If you remeber from the previous rp. Carmine was a lot of using souls for power.

Yes element. My first post was that as Carmine was launched by the portal on earth all his powers were drained. This is why he got hotter as he felt as his daemonci skin dissapeared

I hope this was clear. But in my posts I write how Carmines armor is daemonic 'looking'. But not daemonic. Its just pimp armor 'just metal'. As mentioned he had no powers and became completly human. But he used his old sword with some rituals and such to suck up the soul of 1 man. This gave carmine a little bit of power.

This ofcourse is just equal toa very very very very very very very weak wizard.

So after 1 soul all he could do was shoot a very small fireball. Looks like putting on a tooth pick on fire and throwing it.

So No carmine isn't strong. If he was strong why would need help of a human?

And don't wory. I am not oping him.

Because by the time you read this all will be clear to you because I will post in the Ic and you'll see.

Because I am not going to rp as Carmine.

He is just needed to build up my real character.

@Phoden, Alrighty, that clears it up a ton.

@Crim, I'll look forward to your entrance.

The creation of an imp depends on other people's posts, yes? If making an imp takes 7 posts, then there'll need to be seven posts that aren't mine?
