    Ya. as I've said before my friends simplify things a lot too. They don't care at all about storyline. They just kill everything in sight. I haven't given up yet though. I'm gonna set up the next mission of our campaign on sunday. Eventually it will build up to a HUGE battle between a city and a group of evil dragons. They have to escape from the castle that's under attack so they can go behind enemy lines and take out the dragon leader. I'd just like to see them TRY to fight out of that situation. Also I was planning to somehow add Bahamut to the storyline. Haven't quite gotten that far yet. I haven't gotten around to which Final Fantasy my FFRPG will be based on, but I'm thinking it's probably going to be Tactics
  3. the deep fried twinkie was thought up in the southern states. they deep fry everything there.
  4. And here I thought the deep fried twinki would always be the most unhealthy food in the world.
  5. I've heard of Chrono Crusade before but never had a chance to see it. What is it about?
  6. Actually this is my first time hearing about Foxfire.
  7. Using explorer now. But I'm probably gonna switch to Mozilla. Less security gaps
  8. oops. I was thinking of a different character's full name. I believe the answer is Himura Kenshin

    I just checked my GN. The symbol is a spiral with a bunch of writing around it. It's too small to read though.
  10. No matter what you come up with somebody else is gonna use it sooner or later. I thought I had come up with an original name when I came up with Azura as my online screen name and my D&D name. But about a year later TES III:Morrowind came out and I found out that THEY STOLE MY NAME for one of their Deadra. Now whatever website I go to already has the name Azura used. That's why now I stick to either Skyre or Krylose.

    Basically there is the Dungeon Master (DM) who makes the adventure map(usually a dungeon), storyline, monsters, traps, etc. The others play as adventurers going through the story trying to achieve their objective(finding lost treasure, saving a town from invading orcs, etc.). Of course there are many battles. Battles work on a grid(almost always squares, but hex grids are ocassionally used). The player Characters(PCs) and the monsters take turns based on their combat speed(Initiative). During a turn you can move, attack, cast a spell, use an item or ability, or a combination of these. These usually invole rolling some dice. Campaigns are a series of related adventures that connect to make a deeper storyline. There are many different types of campaigns. Some are serious while others funny. Some are battle-oriented while others storyline-oriented. This last part usually depends on how well the players Role-Play. Most games are somewhere in between. ***example of battle oriented play*** (aka. kick-in-the-door style) "DM-There are some orcs in front of you. It's seems like they don't notice you. Player 1-I'll attack them. YES!! I rolled an 18!! Awe. only 4 damage. DM-The first orc does 6 damage to player 3. Player 3-NO. Now I only have 3 HP left. DM-Player 2's turn. Player 2-I'll shoot an arrow at the orc in the back row." ***example of Storyline oriented play*** "DM-You spot a scouting party of orcs. They are around a campfire and don't notice your group sneaking up on them. Player 1-let me try to strike a blow against the unwary foe. DM-Your sword shimmers through the air, connecting with the orc but not striking a critical wound, 4 damage. The others draw their weapons, confident that they can take the 2 of you down, not noticing your archer encircling them. DM-The closest orc retaliates against player 3, cutting a deep gouge in your chest for 6 damage. Player 3-The fiend will pay when I get a chance to deal with him. DM-The archer is in position and ready to strike. Player 2-I draw my bow. Focusing on shooting a single arrow into the orc near my comrads." As for time, It takes some time to learn the rules. It also takes about an hour to make your character (varies depending on which RPG you play. Time also increases if your making a background for you character), about 10-20 minutes to level-up your character, as well as a few minutes to get the right items and equipment for your character. It takes a considerable amount of time to make your own quests/missions. This is usually done by the DM. Character Development varies depending on which RPG you're playing. Basic character development consists of choosing a race and a job(warrior, ranger, wizard, thief, etc.). After that you need to give your character abilities and equipment(weapons, armor, torches, arrows, spell components, etc.). Also you want to think up an idea of how your character looks and give him a bit of a background story. That's all for now. P.S. sorry for the long post.

    I happen to play D&D a lot with my friends. But they just like to bash in the door and kill anything in sight. They completely take away the point of my intricate(in comparison) storylines. So I'm planning on starting a campaign for Final Fantasy RPG and I'm gonna play it with people online via MSN Messenger. Preferably people who like to roleplay but any are welcome to join. If interested please send a PM.
  13. I see that there isn't really a section for Table-Top Role Playing Games so I'm starting a thread about them anything from custom quests to custom classes to even jokes about RPGs can be put here.
  14. Posters and Wallscrolls for the upcoming Final Fantasy VII-Advent Children usually sell for about $30 online. I bought one for $2. -edit- $30 American $2 Canadian
  15. I can't belive I haven't posted a thread for this yet. This is a hilarious cartoon about the future of video games. Basically all storylines have been used already(all of the good ones at least). So game developers are forced to make crappy games like "Mario does the weekly shopping", "The Legend of Zelda: The Lampshade of no Real Significance", and "Final Fantasy CDXLIVDILCIVDLIXXDVIXILLIII.......etc". The second one is about how the three of them get an invitation to E3 where the heads of the 3 top game companies (Square-Enix, Konami, Capcom) try to assassinate them for making fun of their games. As usual, you can see them at flashplayer.com.
  16. actually since its downloading so ******* slow I'll probably have it for thursday/friday.
  17. lets see. they always turn around faster than me. that's mainly because they jump a lot and for some stupid reason you turn faster in that game when your in mid-air. They use snipers and rockets a lot. I know how to dodge rockets effectively(although I often die anyway. It a freaking rocket launcher). Also they seem to get a lot of head shots(even if at close distance with a sniper rifle while I'm shooting at them). another thing they do is seemingly appear out of nowhere. I'll see them strait ahead of me one second, they'll assasinate me the next. If they happen to do that by jumping over me from a platform (which is usually the case), for some reason my motion detector doesn't pick it up.
  18. Me and my friends like to play Halo/Halo2 a lot. My problem is simply, "WHY DO I NEVER BEAT THEM"(With the exception of Ryan). If anybody have any advice to give me about this game, Please Tell Me!!!!!!!
  19. I didn't finish it. I said I started to download it. As I was saying earlier I couldn't find the individual episode. I'm found a ten episode torrent though. All ten episodes are over 1000 MB, so its gonna take a while to finish. Also my internet is going incredibly slow today(2kbps, that would even be slow for dial-up). So far I have about 8% downloaded. I'm gonna leave it running overnight and while I'm at school tomorrow, so that'll take up over half the download time.
  20. PS1 Final Fantasy Chronicles GBA Sword of Mana Harvest moon PC Final Fantasy XI-Chains of Promathia Wow. I haven't gotten many games In the last few months. Hopefully I'll get a few for Christmas. P.S. - Does anybody know the release date (if its even coming out) for the PC version of Halo 2
  21. OK, OK, OK. I'm downloading it. Now please call off your flesh-eating ogres.
  22. One Ring to Rule Them All 3 is finally finished. If you haven't seen the first two yet, What's Wrong With You!! Go to flashplayer.com
  23. I'm a big Final Fantasy fan. I've seen a lot of web videos based on Final Fantasy. My favorite is Final Fantasy A+. It's about a bunch of students learning how to fight they're homework, as well as the evil teacher. You can see it and other great webcartoons at flashplayer.com. My second favorite is "Chocobo Robo Voice" aka Final Fantasy Tribute. It a hilarious video with lyrics to the chocobo theme. "Fi-nal Fan-ta-sy is an R-P-G..." and so on.
