Rp idea, needs work and a Co-GM.

Awsome!

[Lockon Stratos]

Alright, now we need Juhou no Yami characters. That's my main problem with stories. I'm lousy at making villains.

[Lockon Stratos]

Is it possible to change a thread's title, or do you have to start a new one? I reaaally don't want to have to repost everything.

[Diamond Dragon]

You can ask a moderator to change it.

[Lockon Stratos]

I've got it! Ultimate Warrior!! Ha ha, I'm a genius. *gazes off into the distance... then turns around and asks what day it is*

I like it, but why Yakuza? What was he doing in Japan in the first place? Anyway, I think you should organize your bio a little better, too. Like most everything else on this RP, good idea, just needs a little cleaning up.

[raider~joseph]

He was living with his parents and I will answer your questions in time.So about the villians?

[Lockon Stratos]

Toss me something. Also, your character is approved.

I'm not going to rp this one, but i do have an idea.

Since Sun Tzu is the inspiration for this one, why not use examples from his book as scenarios for the campaign? I do actually own this book (somewhere in my house), and you could use principles like "cutting off your enemy's supply train or lines of communication to their leaders" as specific missions given to the characters by their commanding officers.

Also, there's a difference between common knowledge and common sense. The contents of The Art of War may be common knowledge to those who've read it or had officer training, etc, but it might not be common sense to those who have not.

Some people are more adept at that sort of thing than others.

Hope this turns out well!

EDIT: wow, a RP based on the Art of War. And the Israeli military thinks role playing is bad for its personnel.

I was thinking of that kind of thing myself when I was having the brainstorm that created this idea.
P.S. I have to ask, how do you know about the Israeli military's view on RPing?

[josh_manga]

I can't remember, read it in somebody's blog somewhere, i think someone who lives in Israel wrote some kind of comment on it in response to somethingerother.

I think the comment was along the lines of how they had to disguise their playing, or play only off duty, off base, and not call it D&D.

EDIT: Did a google search, here you go. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3052074,00.html

Looks like your basic stereotyping of a broad spectrum of people who just happen to share a hobby, because "some of them are simply detached from reality".

Alright, here's my attempt for a villain.
Name: Unknown, Uses Alias: Nolan Randolph
Title: Oni
Affiliation: Johou No Yami
Age: Unknown as well, guessing to be in his late twenties based on appearance
Appearance: Tall and slender, brown hair and eyes, wears a cloak and hood combo when he can.
Weapons: Uses a Kanabo(A Japanese war club) and chains.
Skills: Has inhumanly fast reaction time. Incredible tactition.
Bio: Past is a mystery, even to himself. Has no recollection of who he is, or where he came from. Johou No Yami found him in an underground fight arena, and offered him the ability to search for his missing past.

Not great, and probably will scrap if I can't figure out his past myself.

Anyway, is this dead yet?
