ewuvi: the problem with Naruto RP though is that people control the 'damage' that their character takes
spudman: I know...I try to balance that out with what I write. In threads I run I roll for damage (though not all the time, I confess) and the DCs are pretty arbitrary. In threads I don't run I try not to let my characters get out unscathed.
spudman: We should figure out something though
[12:54:43 AM] ewuvi: yeah cause that's kinda why I dropped in the first place
[12:55:00 AM] ewuvi: it's fun to RP but the fights are ridiculous and depend on who is most willing to act like a sue
[12:56:33 AM] spudman: Right, at the same time though I don't think a standard d20 system quite cuts it. An elite ninja does not have a 1 in 20 chance of flubbing a dodge or block.
[12:57:25 AM] ewuvi: true
[12:57:37 AM] ewuvi: if we could like...pit stats against each other somehow
[12:57:39 AM] ewuvi: or something
[12:57:52 AM] ewuvi: I dunno, it's kinda why I mostly dropped out of it
[12:58:03 AM] ewuvi: willing to do Kyoko for RP reasons though
[12:58:43 AM] spudman: Well, phht and I are doing most of the planning at the moment. You could also volunteer your services in planning numbers for a system of sorts, if you like.
[12:59:01 AM] ewuvi: agh I'd be terrible!
[12:59:06 AM] ewuvi: like, the worst
[12:59:45 AM] spudman: I'll say this though, I don't think the fights have been bad so far. But having a system is a good idea, even if it's a loose one and is optional.
[1:00:19 AM] spudman: Well, I'll post this bit of conversation in one of the OOG threads, then.
[1:00:25 AM] spudman: see if anyone else is interested.
[1:00:35 AM] ewuvi: too bad you lost that team of ANBU
[1:00:39 AM] ewuvi: they looked like fun
[1:00:52 AM] ewuvi: (is looking back at stuff)
[1:00:54 AM | Edited 1:01:10 AM] spudman: ah, yeah.
[1:01:19 AM] ewuvi: were they in any missions?
[1:02:26 AM] spudman: Lessee....Tiger and Dragon, but that's noncanon at this point, I think. And the Sodegaura AU.
[1:02:36 AM] spudman: That never got finished.
[1:02:39 AM] ewuvi: yeah hmmm
[1:03:08 AM] ewuvi: I'd be willing to pick this back up again, wanna put those three up for adoption?
[1:03:16 AM] ewuvi: looking at their profiles, they seem interesting
[1:03:19 AM] spudman: serbii still hasn't gotten back to me on what she had in mind for Sodegaura.
[1:03:47 AM] spudman: Sure, why not. Gonna copy/paste this whole thing.
[1:03:53 AM] ewuvi: me and serbii can decide what would have happened in sodegaura
[1:04:03 AM] ewuvi: uh....maybe edit it down a bit?
[1:04:18 AM] spudman: but that sounds like work
[1:04:27 AM] ewuvi: I'll do it
[1:04:36 AM] ewuvi: eventually
[1:04:37 AM] spudman: nah, it's okay
[1:04:42 AM] ewuvi: aw hell just copy pasta
[1:04:47 AM] spudman: mmm, pasta
[1:04:53 AM] ewuvi: I don't think I said anything too embarassing...
spudman: I know...I try to balance that out with what I write. In threads I run I roll for damage (though not all the time, I confess) and the DCs are pretty arbitrary. In threads I don't run I try not to let my characters get out unscathed.
