The Masters

[Anomaly]

Well its good to hear, none the less.

I'm busy with the Tournaments at the moment, though there in something of a lull. Anyone have any news?

[Godean]

I've got some news... I need a match >.<

[Shelus]

I have good news...

Ghost Rider comes out today.

Other than that, been very cold so I might not even go. ; ; Oh well.

[Anomaly]

Oh yeah! Defiently have to check it out. It has two of my favorite marvel characters in it...Blackheart and Mephisto. Maybe not staple Ghost Rider villains, but defiently big players. I just hope they do them justice on the silver screen.

Unfortunatley I have to wait for Saturday to see it...meeting up with family and going to make it a sort of all day event. But oh well...probably be too crowded on opening day anyways.

and what kind of match would youl ike Godean? I'm a little busy, but i'm sure there's someone here that could keep you...entertained.

[Godean]

a little sparring one on one, hopefully to start at somepoint around tuesday

[Dark One]

Im back once again im having a hard time ever getting online and when I do I only have time to get on my on forum and get off but im hoping now I well have more time. Seeing that I do not have a job any longer. Other then that what’s been going on.

[Anomaly]

what, is everyone too afraid to take the 666th post in this thread?

Anyone seen Slim around? I'd like to talk to him.

And sorry Godean, its Tuesday and still no ones stepped forward to spar with you. I'd have a go at you myself but our last battle ended rather abruptly and I'm involved with both of the tournaments. You might have to look outside of the club for this one.

Sub-note: Ghost Rider wasn't that bad, all and all. Beat the hell out of Hulk, Punisher, and the Fantastic Four movies...but then thats really not all that hard. I'd say its on about the same level as Blade. The first one, not the crappy sequals.
My only real problem with it is who they had playing Johnny Blaze and the fact that they replaced the ten foot tall rat tailed demon of pure darkness that is Blackheart with a weedy little shat in a trenchcoat. Got the voice dead to rights, but the look was just crap and the last battle was extremely anti-climactic.

[LocoColt04]

Slim's last login was on the 13th, though his last post was long before that.

It worries me a bit, especially with the tournament and his unfortunate lack of posting. =/ I wonder what he's been up to these past couple of weeks...


Also, yes, Ghost Rider was a LOT better than I expected it to be. I had set such low expectations that I found myself actually enjoying it. It was definitely anti-climactic at the end, but it could have been SO MUCH WORSE. I was pleased.

Not a great movie, by any means, but good.

[Zardoch]

I'll be seeing GR later tonight (at the IMAX no less, buwahahaha), so it's good to hear that. But on the IMDB boards it is hell with kids running around. They're all like "CGI sucks!" or "Cage sucks!" and after they're through with that they finally just scream "This movie sucks!". You have no idea how annoying it is to see so many people bash something that's just a movie. On the bright side I've seen a lot of members give the movie two thumbs up for being a good popcorn flick. Definitely not oscar worthy, you wouldn't suspect that from a comic book. But something still enjoyable and entertaining. And to hear it's better than Blade (for which I liked) chances are I'll enjoy it as well.

[Prodigal Madness]

My only complaint about Gears of War's "extreme gore", is it splatters your screen and takes a while to fade... And that people blow up a bit predictably, time after time.

/sigh

[Godean]

I wasn't a huge Ghost Rider fan actually. I don't know, I mean I know it's bassed on a comic book, but it seemed too comic book like too me, not enough character development, fight scenes were too short. It was way to 2D for me. It wasn't bad, but I was kind of dissapointed.

[Anomaly]

Meh, maybe they'll make mroe of an effort on the second one. The second spider-man movie was better than the first after all and regarldess of the shambling plot or poorly developed characters, Ghost Riders been at least successful enough to warrent a second movie. Maybe they could base it around Vengeance.

[Prodigal Madness]

Just saw Hannibal Rising, as my dad wanted to see it, and I thought it'd be nice to treat him to something.

Was enjoying the beginning/middle of it, then the end of it was a bit...distasteful. Towards the end, it seemed to me like he was more of a lucky thug, than a thought out, methodical killer.

[Anomaly]

Haven't seen it. I was dissapointed with how they chose to end Hannibal in the movies, so I've kind of decided I'll wait for the DVD release before seeing Hannibal Rising.

Meh...

Seems to be a bit of a lull in our activities. Trap and I are still working on her EPIC story RP...she's done a lot of really good work and I'm afraid I've not done much of anythign yet I was wanting to get some ideas from all of you, however, before I pushed on with my work any further.

So here's the deal...the RP is going to be High Fantasy, and while that does entail knights and mages and all that, I was wanting to see a few new and unique job classes for the puproses of the RP. I've got a couple in mind, but they're more race specific (as there will be multiple races). I was wondering if any of you might have some ideas or suggestions as to job classes you'd like to see.

Other than that, new info will come as it comes. We're not rushing this project as it needs to be solid from the word go.

Aside from all that, not much else going on.

Nice sig Behemoth. Makes me want to create a new sig and ava set.

[Zardoch]

I don't think any sequel or prequel can really touch the original Hannibal movie. And personally I don't think it really needed one. Red Dragon had it's moments as I was interested, but it didn't really go along with the original. It was more like an episode from Law and Order: Criminal Intent.

As for the Ghost Rider movie I saw at the IMAX, I've really already said what I liked and disliked about it, lol. Simply put though I gave it like a 6.7/10. A watchable fun movie, but had way too much holes and way too pitiful villains.

Anyway, when do you think that RP is gonna be up? I might be able to find some time to get into it.

P.S. - Yeah, this is my official ava and sig now. I'm done creating new sigs, lol. It's such a pain.

[Nekoness]

Did any of you saw Shelus on lately? He not appeared here for a guite long time and I start to worry about the guy.

I'd like to help with the new RP if Trap or you need the help.

[Lucid]

Well, like Anomaly said, we need more ideas for unique races and/or classes, because I've only really come up with the basic kind of RP races and classes.

[Anomaly]

Anyway, when do you think that RP is gonna be up? I might be able to find some time to get into it.

Oh, not for awhile yet, though I do hope to at least have all the basics ready and prepared within the next few months. Plot is mostly taken care of...its actual play dynamics, like job classes, race specifics, and weapons and abilities that need working out.

Did any of you saw Shelus on lately? He not appeared here for a guite long time and I start to worry about the guy.

Not seen hide nor hair of himself since he reclaimed his weapons. It's my understanding he was going to have a bit of a battle with you, but he, like Slim, has been known to slip off every now and again. Don't worry too much on his account.

[Zardoch]

Well, like Anomaly said, we need more ideas for unique races and/or classes, because I've only really come up with the basic kind of RP races and classes.

I created a new race two weeks ago you might like, lol. Want me to PM you the details?

[Prodigal Madness]

If you could get a bit in depth as to what you want for the stuff(I'm mostly up for races, but I could take a crack at the other stuff)... Like how much do you need? Detailed physiology, or just the basic stuff? A racial history as well, or just a enough so you can fit it into the world?

Been in a fun depression spell, so perhaps giving my mind something to sit down and tinker with might help.

[Anomaly]

I created a new race two weeks ago you might like, lol. Want me to PM you the details?

Looking more for job class suggestions, but I am curious. I remember the race you created that had ice in their veins...he was rather cool.

Actually, the information for each race is quiet extensive, physiology, racial history, customs, religion, coming of age ceremonies, region that they live in (though for this you'd need a basic knowledge of the world that Trap is crafting).

Really I think we should ask Trap if she wants anymore races...I think we already have seven or eight. I don't want to spend too much time on races and not enough time on developing the actual RP elements.

[Zardoch]

Eh? The Crysterian? Lol, yeah he was. But I made an even cooler race then that . In fact I'm thinking of writing a book on it so I'm deciding on whether I'd use it for public use or not.

As for some classes, if you could PM me the ones you already have and some notes on what you're looking for I have no doubt I could create some for ya.

[Prodigal Madness]

If you're interested in having more unique classes than the standard, let me know how many, and in what detail. Same for the weapons/abilities.

I'd be interested in seeing those races on the TM home site, if you'd not mind sharing.

Oh, and I had some spare time on my hands, and posted again(after how many months? x_x ) in our battle there, Ano.

[Anomaly]

Well I can post up the info that Trap last sent me on the offsite forum. you lot have access to that.

There's a lot of stuff to go through though, and most of the races are still a little sketchy. (looking at your basic elf, human, dwarf, troll, beastman set up right now)

But yeah, I'll post up what we have so far.

[T.G. Oskar]

Well, well, well... I just wandered over these lands and couldn't just resist to barge in when I heard that you had a wee problem with something. Job classes, in particular. See, I have always liked the job system, and despite having a particular liking for the standard classes, I have tried my best to unify those concepts and toy with the names and characteristics.

While I do not belong to your faction, I humbly offer to give up a piece of advice or two about the matter. I'd await if your leader, Anomaly, accepts or declines that offer. As always, I await the answer in any of the threads.

Have a nice day (or night). I expect to be welcome here as always, despite our differences.

[Anomaly]

*shrug* It's not a problem.

While this is a Masters only project, I don't think My Lady Of Abominations intends to exclude outsiders from joining in once it's complete. Having said which, I don't know if Trap would welcome your advice or not.

Hmm...if you have any ideas you don't mind parting with, however, feel free to pm them to me or Trap Meridon. If she doesn't mind your help on the project, neither do I.

[Lucid]

I don't know if I want alot of random, non-Masters people joining...if we are to include other people, then I want it to be very limited, mostly because the Twins portion of the History is a story I've worked really hard on and I still plan on using it and so I don't want people to steal my ideas. >.<

But I welcome advice on the job classes. I just don't want anything too far out there...

[T.G. Oskar]

Well...I wasn't expecting to join any of your club activities, but since Anomaly often lends a hand with things in our club, so I decided that some advice would be a good way to "pay up" the favor.

I would like to know what kinds of job classes you had in mind. You can use the basic class concepts, and rename them: that's a good way to give some uniqueness to classes. Or, you can restrict classes, depending on what kind of emphasis you want to give to the story. A basic overview of what you have would be of very much use.

[Prodigal Madness]

BoD is apparently useless for all their boasting. Yes, I'm disappointed by this turn of events.

I post a battle challenge, and get no takers. I was preferring to test it against against them, but I guess I shall ask here. Are there any who would care to test out the latest evolution to my original RPB guy?

Ano - This'll be a twist I doubt you'd have thought me to go to.

[Zardoch]

While the BoD love boasting and bragging a couple of them CAN back it up. Don't boast yourself when I'm sure you'll have gotten their attention now. Then again Raven I doubt would fight you again after the duel battle of me and him versus you and Shelus.
