hooligan x Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Re: Online Steampulp Game There is no magic, per se, but with lost worlds, Martian cities, and the wonder of the Aethernet, who knows what is to be unearthed next? If everyone is having difficulty with their builds, I am open to revisiting the base points. As long as we have balanced builds based on the same points, another 50 points won't destroy my unique vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably trim down his points if necessary, but you know how that is. Is anyone playing a archaeologist or librarian or researcher-type who wants to be my "chain holder"?

[/quote'] I can do it, Bill. I don't have much of a board persona to build on but a researcher should be easy. You're building a vorpal bunny, aren't you?

From what little can be determined, he is some sort of magical imp or djinn who was imprisoned inside a small, indistinct lamp until such time as he was freed by his current master. Why was he imprisoned thus? And why is he forced by powers beyond understanding to obey the holder of the lamp? No one is entirely certain, but it's probably because he's an angry, ornary little cuss who's sole goal in life seems to be to break stuff and hurt people. He was obviously some sort of criminal or thug in the mystical world, and was stuffed into the lamp as punishment. His current circumstances might be some sort of mystical "parole". Personality/Motivation: He's... well, he's kind of a dick. Just don't ever say that to his face. His sole motivation seems to be to break stuff -- which he is shockingly good at (especially for something so small and harmless looking). Most of the time, he just hangs around, eating carrots and making snide comments. But when his master cuts him loose, he is a fearsome warrior indeed, able to chew through walls, trees, rocks, and people with equal ease. Powers/Tactics: Rush in, break stuff, hurt people. He is a big hammer, and everything looks like a nail to him. If the bunny is ever killed (and he has been, a few times), he vanishes in a puff of sparks and smoke, only to reappear again in roughly the same place a few hours later (cursing and stomping his feet angrily). He sometimes likes to pretend to be some sort of walking dead creature for a few days (or weeks) afterwards, just to frighten (or annoy) people. Campaign Use: Combat wombat. When a fight starts, set him loose and watch the carnage. Otherwise, all he's really good for is making snarky comments (and possibly sneaking around, since he's so small). Appearance: The Devilbunny looks pretty much like an ordinary rabbit. He has long ears, a twitchy nose, big thumper feet, short white fur, and a cotton tail. To those who are magically sensitive, though, he radiates magical (with just a hint of something darker) energy. Oh, and he talks (with an American accent).

teh bunneh Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Re: Online Steampulp Game Couple of things: 1. Obviously, he's built on way too many points. I could probably trim him down, but y'all know how hard that can be! Suggestions are appreciated. 2. A little cheatery: His DR shouldn't go into an EC. I realize that. But the Bunny defies your petty rules! 3. Since he's basically a genie, somebody needs to play the "master" who found his lamp and accidentally released him.

teh bunneh Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Re: Online Steampulp Game This is a joke I've posted before, so forgive me if you've seen it before... A young man was walking along the beach. He's angry because some bully's been kicking sand in his face. Suddenly he comes upon an old lamp, half buried in the sand. He picks it up and wipes off the sand, and suddenly *POOF!* sitting on the beach next to him is a tiny, adorable little bunny rabbit. "What the heck is this supposed to be?" the man wonders out loud. "I'm a Devilbunny," the rabbit answers (to the man's great surprise). "I was hoping for a genie," the man ventures. "I'm better than any stupid genie," the rabbit says. "I'll completely destroy anything you want. Just say my name, and the name of what you want wrecked, and stand back." "Nonsense," says the man. "Try me," says the rabbit. "OK..." he looks around. "Devilbunny, this piece of driftwood..." The words are barely out of his mouth when the rabbit leaps into the air. Before he can blink, there's nothing left of the driftwood but some sawdust drifting in the breeze. The young man grins -- he's suddenly got an idea... He picks up the bunny, goes over to the parking lot, and finds the bully's car. "Devilbunny, that red convertable," he says. Again, the bunny turns into an engine of destruction. Within seconds, the only thing left is a lone tire, bouncing down the beach. The bully runs up and stares at the destruction. "What the hell did you do to my car?" he demands. "Wasn't me," says the young man, pointing at the little rabbit grooming himself nearby. "It was the Devilbunny." "Devilbunny?" the bully demands, growing furious. "Devilbunny, my ass!"

hooligan x Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Re: Online Steampulp Game Bunneh, I think I'd prefer if you ran the Devil Bunny and the Major Nelson so that all PCs will be equally vital.

Basil Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Online Steampulp Game I'm going to echo an earlier post --- do I have a "board persona"? Courteous responses are very welcome.

casualplayer Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Re: Online Steampulp Game Ok' date=' anyone? Bueler?[/quote'] It sounds awesome, but I have wanted to be sure I could commit before I committed. I've been subscribed and snooping all along. I'm thinking of a scoundrel gambler who often says precisely the wrong thing at the worst possible time. Clever, charming and prone to epic fail tact.

BoneDaddy Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Re: Online Steampulp Game I'm in. I'll have BoneDaddy, AKA the DeadFather, in by Tuesday. A student of old world magic in the vain of Leland, Waite, and Levi. He has seen too much, and has access to powers undreamed by mortal men. (Real magic powers? Not on 125 points, no, but a reasonable facsimile thereof.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
