(OOC) How does one join SoC?
| 260988
| Er, SoC is a faux VRMMORPG made from 90% Handwavium. just think of a character and like, put them in and give them handwavium [Skills] and stuff. As for joining in, there are times where it's more optimal to join in, such as the beginning of a quest, but that doesn't really stop you from dropping in the middle of one i suppose, even if it's something like "We both just happened in the same place".
| You just join. It's like normal /cyb/, but in a video game inside of /cyb/. Only difference is that we do dice rolls while fighting enemies and stuff, but other than that, you don't need to do anything special. Sure, we do have levels and stuff, but it's more just for fun, and to make it feel like a game. We don't actually do leveling up and stuff.

Well, in the big dungeon raid things, I literally just exploded out from inside a random statue, and joined the team that way. We're not that strict.
-GG
| If you want to join the current quest, we just got finished fighting, so you should be able to find some good entrance opportunities.
-GG
| The 4 things above me more or less perfectly answer your question.
Speaking of SoC i really need to get back to DMing it...
Tbh i kinda miss it..
>morphine_blues
| Alright, would it be possible for me to get like, a summary of what all has happened inside of SoC already? Just like the major events as well as the lore of the universe? I just don't want to bring anything into the game that is out of place. I have an idea for what I want to do, and possibly even a larger story arc for my planned character that may lead to me DMing later, but I wanna make sure I know the lingo and such first.

Ah ok dis is gonna be mouthful so just bear with me pls.
Story wise nothing that you should concern yourself with happend
But the lore is kinda long

| Black and white is that its an MMO thats *IT*
Now to start off there are two kinds of players.
Old and new.
The old players are anyone that are lvl 60 or higher,
They play the game like a role-playing game.act out their characters and stuff.
The new players are usually anyone *under*60 (cuz you know, your lvl can tell one how long dis dude has played)
They play it like an actual MMO.
Effectively the news play it for the gameplay while the olds for an adventure.

| The news came in steadily but not slowly.
So to accommodate the news the devs started puting in less role-playing themed stuff.
Although they still did it was not as advertised due to most of the player base would be considered new.
Note that there is no bad blood between the two groups.
Now onto the devs n stuff
(cont)
| The devs are... "different" in each of their approach.
So this one could add in Gothic Victorian themes
While this one would do Utopian space age themes.
Each does it differently.
| While im at it here is the backround thread.

Sorry for the spelling errors.
I usualy do that while in sleepy.
| Okay amazing! This was exactly the information I needed. Thanks g/u/rl, I think you'll like what I have in store for the game ;)
Oh, one more question, though I think I know the answer. Can somebody's character hop grids, or do they have to stay on the grid they are on, and if they can hop grids, do they retain their level and gear or do they have to start again? If I'm level 70 on the fantasy grid and I go to the space grid, what happens?

| The last thing is...difficult for me to explain.
The game is set *after* the game.
Effectively there were 4 GMs me, cry ,cyphir, and maskur (who is not on /u/)
So it was one of the better homebrews i thought up.
I put it on a DnD website and would also play it at home with pals.
The game takes place *after* all the campaigns and stuff happened in said DnD site.
So people like the magpies were actually the original RPers
(cont)
| My idea when i introduced it to /u/ was.
"the first heros grand tale is finally over.
Now a new generation of players take their mantle"
Dont pay any mind to the old factions, im treating them more like a backround thing.

Oh the grids.
Ummm.
You cannot take any tech to the fantasy grids.
And in the post you cannot bring *anything* from the other grids,
Because the post are more focused on survival gameplay.
That should sum it up.
>morphine
| Okay, gotcha.
And uh, two more questions: Are there guilds, and which grid is the most recent quest on?
Also, I think your DnD game and your story behind how SoC came to be is absolutely amazing man :)

Adventurers, assassins, mercenaries, trainer, mage, founders
Those are the guilds.
Founders is just settlement stuff.
Trainers is... Not important for now.
I think its on a magitech?
It started in primaria.
Not sure though, Xnbc is DMing that one.
>N3
| >>261490
The quest board comes from Primaria, since that's where I usually would see quests being made.
As for where in actuality it is.. I'll have to ask N3. The quest is set in its own place, inclusive of any grid. Don't know if that's okay rules-wise — because if it's not, then it's set in the Fantasy grid. -xnbc
| Alright. Made my introduction...I'll be back soon. ;)
-Pirat3

A little heads up. If it was set in the fantasy grid, I wouldn't have my rifle OR my bombs, and probably not any of my other gear either.
It would make sense for it to be set in magitech, since, you know, everyone can have their gear there.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just thought the bombs were, you know, good ol' regular bombs.
That doesn't excuse the rifle out of the question though, so I might've missed a bit of detail here and there — apologies for that. -xnbc

| Just a question, I was thinking about joining it but to be honest I haven't been reading any of the threads so I have close to zero idea what it is or what is even going on with it. I would like to join but I guess some details about what SoC actually is, as well as how to join and how to play would be pretty nice if you don't mind. :)
