Posts from Divine Journey

Where to begin? Perhaps, from the moment this game first appeared on the forum. I don’t remember exactly whether Arandor was talking about his dream or simply sharing his thoughts, in which, if I’m not mistaken, HeroesWorld users set off on an expedition together. And, essentially, my creative mind needed just that grain of information to get fired up with the idea of running such a game, and soon I posted my thoughts as a message on the forum. The game mechanics I came up with back then were not elegant and were quite primitive; however, they were enough to run an engaging game where both the players and I enjoyed ourselves. And if, back then, when running the first game, I abandoned many ideas for the sake of a simple gameplay, then when the second game came along, Vegtam, who was its host, wasn’t afraid to implement his ideas, resulting in an upgraded version of the first game. If back then all players were essentially equal and most went by their forum names, then the second game introduced character sheets and classes, which diversified the game and gave each character (player) individuality. Unfortunately, due to a certain incident, the first section of the expedition was permanently deleted along with all its cultural heritage, so to speak.
This game is first and foremost an attempt to revive players’ interest in the "expedition" and, for those who haven’t played it, to show how it all works. Perhaps, after some time, someone else will take up hosting it.
Now let’s move directly to the game mechanics.
- Beginning. The game starts with registration and creating character sheets. Since this game is not in its usual format—i.e., it’s set in a fictional setting—a list of playable races will be provided below, based on which you should create your character. Some of them are limited, as are classes, so it is highly advisable to announce your choice before writing your sheet.
- Character Sheet. Once you have decided on your character’s race and class, you should come up with some information for them.
1. Name. Again, since this setting is fictional, I will provide some real-world analogues you can base it on.
2. Biography. Any information about your character.
3. Image (optional but recommended) that would match (at least partially) the description of the appearance (if such a description exists—it’s also optional; you can simply upload a picture) of your character.
- Game Process. Once all character sheets are created, the game begins. Here I can either please or disappoint some players—the mode is very freeform. Your group travels through various locations and sometimes stops in different places where you can interact with NPCs—buy various items, take quests, and so on. Players roleplay their characters (i.e., they speak as their characters and address others the same way). Conversations and roleplay are, again, very freeform. Due to the impossibility of players having a stable online presence, any skirmishes will be resolved automatically, without the player’s direct involvement—just as before, I will calculate each battle and post the results in the thread. Although they are conducted turn-based, I will try to provide more literary descriptions where possible.
- Character Attributes. Each character has attributes (what fantasy would be without them?), which determine their capabilities. Here we have a fairly standard set: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, and Wisdom. And here is how they are implemented for this game:
Strength. Primarily determines the ability to wield certain weapons/shields. Additionally, it increases melee weapon damage—+3% to physical damage per point.
Dexterity. One of the most important attributes, as it affects many parameters:
+1% to critical hit chance;
+1 to evasion;
+5 to accuracy;
+1 to action points.
Constitution. Determines how long a character can take damage before dying. Also required for wearing heavy armor.
+10 to HP and +1% to damage reduction per point.
Intelligence. Primarily important for characters who use magic, but not only.
+10 to mana and +10% to spell effectiveness per point.
Wisdom. Represents the character’s experience and worldview.
+2 to spirit;

Elements:
To one degree or another, every living creature in this world is imbued with the magical energy of various elements. (Percentage bonuses from elements do not stack with others, affecting only the final result; exception—Earth). The element is chosen during character sheet creation.
Among them:
Primary Elements:
Fire - +25% to any damage dealt.
Water - +10% to mana amount, +10% to HP amount.
Earth - +20% to physical damage absorption.
Air - +25% to action points, +50% to evasion.
Wood - +15% to block chance.
Secondary:
Lightning - +25% to action points, +10% to any damage dealt.
Metal - +10% to physical damage absorption, +5% to block chance.
Ice - +5% to HP amount, +5% to mana amount, +10% to physical damage absorption.

Playable peoples/races. Initially, I started to describe the history and culture in more detail, but eventually concluded that the descriptions weren't turning out very well, so I kept it short. In any case, you can always ask me for any additional information.

Disciplined and taciturn, the native inhabitants of the Empire are characterized by a stern disposition and a rapid rate of development, both in terms of personal qualities and the state as a whole. They are excellent warriors and mages, tacticians and strategists. They most often have chestnut or light-brown hair, sometimes black. Eye color is brown or gray. However, being home to many other conquered peoples, the blood of the empire's natives has been mixed with others repeatedly, meaning not everyone fits the typical image.
Possible elements: all.
Symbol: a lion devouring the sun.
Characteristics:
Strength - 14
Agility - 9
Constitution - 14
Intelligence - 14
Wisdom - 5
Special traits: +25 hp, +25 mana.The Rosicrucians are a polite people who live by a strict code—a set of rules of conduct in which courtesy, justice, honor, and dignity occupy the most important part. The art of magic has very few adepts here, but few can compete with the Rosicrucians in the art of wielding conventional weapons, especially fencing. They are also wonderful musicians and artists. Blonde hair and blue eyes are the trademark of this people.
Possible elements: fire, lightning, metal.
Symbol: a cross adorned with roses.
Characteristics:

Constitution - 12
Intelligence - 12

Special traits: +25% to accuracy and +10% chance to block a hit when using swords.
To many, the culture of this people is simultaneously wild and incredible—there is no government in its usual sense and practically no laws; everything is built on business relationships and power. Three castes: the wealthy, warriors, and slaves. The first conduct business using money and protect their lives and property with it; the second live independently thanks to their skills; and the third are those who have neither money nor power. Women have long been nothing more than property, such as a house or a horse, and this is quite normal for them—they are raised this way from childhood, as were many before them.
Distinctive features: dark skin, black eyes and hair.
Possible elements: basic
Symbol: lunar crescent.

Special traits: +5% chance to deal a critical hit.

Celestial Empire

The strength, height, and build in which the inhabitants of the celestial realm are inferior to other human peoples are easily compensated for by speed and intelligence. Refined and elegant, both men and women possess enchanting beauty, a flexible mind, and a broad outlook on the world.
Skin color is light with a slight yellowish or pinkish tint, hair is black and straight, eyes are brown.
Possible elements: all.
Symbol: a dragon soaring into the sky.
Characteristics:
Strength - 10
Agility - 16
Constitution - 9

Lunarion

Isolated from the rest of the world by seawater, the elves live on an island, spending their days in self-development and mastering the secrets of the world. For various reasons, whether a military campaign or personal interest, many leave their homeland, encountering representatives of other peoples. Tolerance and calmness are some of the qualities people find when meeting them.
Possible elements: water, lightning, ice.
Symbol: a knight riding a dragon (western type)
Characteristics:
Strength - 11
Agility - 14
Constitution - 11
Intelligence - 14
Wisdom - 8
Special traits: 10% chance to learn an additional point in a random characteristic after making a kill.

Wild Elves

Having no culture of their own, wild elves usually either isolate themselves somewhere in the forests and lead hermit-like lives, or make a living in human states. Possessing unsurpassed physical flexibility and acoustic perception, their craft most often becomes bounty hunting, theft, or shadow security for influential persons. The average lifespan is twice that of humans, and they do not become as frail in old age, maintaining clarity of mind.
Possible elements: water, earth, wood.
Symbol: none.
Characteristics:
Strength - 10
Agility - 19
Constitution - 10
Intelligence - 10
Wisdom - 2
Special traits: +50% to evasion.

Dark Elves

Once they owned a huge part of the continent, enslaving numerous peoples through conquest; however, the moment of uprising, when the oppressed overthrew their masters, marked the beginning of their oblivion—since then, the hunt for the dark ones has not ceased, and even today a good sum can be earned for their killing in any large city of the Selentit Empire. This led to very few dark elves remaining; however, the need to survive sharpened all their skills and weeded out the weak, leaving only the strong representatives of the race. They are good at everything, and their lifespan reaches five hundred years.
Skin color varies from purple to gray, the iris is either red or yellow, hair is white.
Possible elements: fire, ice.
Symbol: full moon.
Characteristics:
Strength - 15
Agility - 18
Constitution - 13
Intelligence - 15
Wisdom - 6
Special traits: Can use two weapons without penalty. No more than one in a group.

Nyx

A cruel and cunning people dwelling underground. Brute strength and the ability to see in the dark are their two strongest sides. They have a very harsh culture, and they treat representatives of other races with contempt. Among all other things, they lack hair entirely.
Possible elements: earth, metal.
Symbol: a hydra hidden in darkness.
Characteristics:
Strength - 16
Agility - 10
Constitution - 15
Intelligence - 9
Wisdom - 4
Special traits: +20% to physical damage.

Aristocrats

A race as ancient as history itself, often associated with vampires due to a number of similarities. Elongated fangs, the ability to feed on blood, and no need for food, water, or air are undoubtedly integral parts of aristocrats; however, unlike vampires, they are not dead (though they have a peculiar physiology), they have no need to sleep in coffins or earth, and furthermore, they do not fear daylight. The name perhaps comes from their appearance—pale skin, slanted eyes, refined facial features, an elegant body. For some unknown reason, all men have white hair, while women have black. Eye color is red.
Possible elements: none
Symbol: hourglass.
Strength - 16
Agility - 16
Constitution - 8

Symbol: peak-shaped mountain.
Characteristics:
Strength - 16
Agility - 8
Constitution - 19

I don’t think there will be any difficulties, as even fantasy worlds have similar features, and yours is unlikely to be too different from others. Besides, there will be a foundation that is quite enough for a normal profile (some general descriptions, without going into deep, elaborate writing), and everyone will be able to choose something suitable for themselves. Some details can be clarified personally, etc.

Reven, half of the RPGs are set in original worlds, and often the descriptions of these worlds are quite brief. However, players don't seem to mind and write stories, often even verbose ones. So, everything is fine. Just make sure to specify the technological level and time period, similar to what is in the setting.

Incomplete?
Well, I was going to point out some real-world analogies to make it a little easier to understand. However, it will be difficult to compare it to a single time period.

Well, it's a frugal approach, in a way. And yes, I meant something along the lines of what you said – analogies that make things easier to understand.

Perhaps it would be easier for me to navigate a more familiar reality or one of the well-known universes. However, I'm not afraid of Reven's original world. Let him just outline the races and the magic system.

Ideally, it would be great if each player could control their character independently during battles, but given the number of players and the fact that most of them are not online constantly, this is extremely problematic. Therefore, I will most likely use the same system as in the first two games, i.e., a turn-based system. Of course, the descriptions of events will be different and more literary. This is one of the problems with using magic, for example.

Added 5 minutes later
I did have one idea, though: to implement most of the battles through quests that are taken by a certain number of characters. And to conduct the battles, say, in Skype (in text groups, not conferences), where each person would control their actions independently. For example, Arandor rushes into battle, takes a lot of damage, and shouts in Skype, "Amka, heal me!" or something like that. I think it would be great, but again, there are problems with implementation due to the inconsistent online presence.

Everything is fine, create your world, and we'll somehow come to an agreement on how it's perceived.
The idea with Skype is good, but it's really hard to implement properly due to the online aspect. Although, I can be available for most of the time on weekdays, for example.

Will it be standard fantasy, or will it have some interesting additions and features? By the way, the idea with Skype is interesting. :3

"Amka, heal me!"
