Cyber-gropia - TTRPG Chat RP Sign-up

[RapeU]

RB tried this a while back with a spa theme and it would have worked if the board didn't get hacked (semi long story but short version is someone targeted RB and the admin couldn't save all posts which made people bummed out and didn't want to do it anymore.)

Anyway, how RB did it was there was a central thread that started the scenario. Whenever a situation was created to start a roleplay between victim/rapist, a new thread was created and then linked to the central thread. Once a roleplay was finished, the victim and rapist would return to the central thread where a new situation can then be created.

As far as metagaming is concerned, I trust people to draw a distinction between what they know and what their character knows, and only use the former when it helps move the story along, not to just give themselves superpowers and whatnot.

Like, if the GM asks for a perception check and you roll really badly, the GM says "yup, everything seems fine", I trust players to not go "I immediately whip out my weapon", but instead buy into their character not knowing anything might be wrong.

As for using separate channels - if and when I have the time & energy to run both groups, that would be fine, but I am pretty sure I wouldn't be running both groups simultaneously, it would need to be separate nights for each, at leats until they start to run into one another.

So far, if I've got this right, we have:
@LaLa71 and @BlackMilkAngel declaring their interest in a Rebel Group;
@Shocker and @Writers_Bloque declaring their interest in a Corpo Group.

The poll has 2 more votes on it, but I don't see a definite declaration from those voters in the thread yet, I think?

@Vela Nanashi if you want to be in the game, you could easily be a rescuer (Rebel Group) or enabler (Corpo Group) who doesn't get involved in the actual rapiness, but is part of the team to do other things and help out with the others' plans/difficulties? Just a question of which team you'd prefer to be helping.

@RapeU - this isn't about playing on the boards, we'd be using Chat, as a "TTRPG Games Night" regular session. We'd probably use this thread to coordinate out-of-character stuff, and setting up characters, things like that. What you're describing is closer to what I set up as "The Academy mass RP" thread(s)

I did have an idea for a character, but not sure if she/it would fit into cyberpunk entirely, a molecular machine swarm/cloud that can take the shape of a female or male, who can heal and make things, would work for whomever can get her what she wants, she can't be a victim since she enjoys surprise delivery of genetic samples, so they may think they are raping her, but she does not see it that way. If I have to choose she is probably on rebel side, but she could facilitate making someone last for a lot more enhanced interrogation by healing them by rebuilding their flesh... Mentora/Mentor would be her name. Feel free to say no though I am incapable/unwilling of playing a human though.

If this is relevant for you: The two group specific rooms could be private rooms that you have to be invited into, or password protected public rooms. Either way, it should be easily possible to exclude one group from seeing what the other is doing.

[RapeU]

Going to be difficult to do chat in real time, but I suppose I can try and see.

Yeah, that would be a bit more far-future scifi than the setting for Cybertopia, which is more 50-ish years in the future kind of thing.

If you want the gender-switching thing, maybe a cyborg with cyberflesh that can switch between two modes would be doable. "Cyborg medic" as a core to allow the healing role would make sense. Then we could use your ability and equipment points to approximate some of the other things?

[Vela Nanashi]

I will think about it The gender switching was not the most important thing for me.

[Vela Nanashi]

I will say it in here too, I made a dice roller in mchat, it will get more advanced with time, maybe you can take it for a spin and then tell me what you would like to see added to it.

[KittyUmbrass]

Okay, TTRPG gang!

The poll has closed, and there's more votes for the Evil/Corpo "rapist" crew so that's what we'll try to get going first.

There were 5 votes in total, so if everyone who was interested in running a character of that persuasion could post below with their basic character build, that'd be great.

You need a +3 Core ability that might be their background, physique, etc.

You have 5 points to spend on skills - you can change these between missions. Each point is a +1 on the skill you choose (and you can choose literally anything - but the more points, the more specific the ability should be). Your starting maximum level for an ability is 2

You have 5 points to spend on equipment (weapons, tools, tech, etc). This can also be spent on a drone or pet companion who can help in certain situations. The same +2 max applies for tools, and a +2 equipment should have a specialised use as well as its usual function.

Skills and equipment should be near-future themed, for example: no teleporting or dimension-shifting but stealth suits or hover boots could be reasonable.

Once we've got that, we can start figuring out when is a good time to meet up in chat to play the game!

@KittyUmbrass completely missed the poll, but I’ll put a character together.
