Let's Henshin! Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Question for members of Crane:As I'm sure many of you noticed on TFL's blog there were posts about hosting events, I actually think this is a great idea we could incorporate in the game. Think about it, if we each designate one of our Chars as a CRANE member(We'd have to create an in-game version first.) then could collaborate with one another to host games in the RPG. Perhaps something like an Island wide race or maybe a scavenger hunt. Then we could give the winners items, of course it couldn't be anything too fancy, stuff like armor made by Zyckel(one of TDC's chars) or a sword made by one of the Characters that I'm currently designing. So anyone interested? Edited December 8, 2011 by Toa Onarax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) I'm not that averse to the idea...As long as the games included something related to fighting and/or skills which can be used in it I would probably make a char. They could maybe make their own game or tournament which taught people basic skills needed on Mata Nui-fighting, how to make a fire, other basic survival stuff.However, we best move this discussion to my blog.

The Lorax Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Are there currently any PCs in the Le-koro inn/tavern/pub? I haven't been watching the topic since the giant pillowfight made famous in Mef Man's sig, so apopogies if I've missed anyone.Anyway, a couple of chars just walked in to ask for sightings of a toa of air with a mask of biomechanics and a boat. Any information would be much appreciated, but if there is nobody there right now, I guess we can talk to some NPCs.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalama and Ta Rahkshi Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm sure the community would like the idea of Player Events. I was hoping to run one of my own by the staff later on and see how it would go. Of course if I'm reading that correctly what you're talking about may be a little different than mine but the gist of it is close enough for comparison.Well what exactly are you looking at Ghosthands? You mean training people like tutorial wise for the BZPRPG in those skills or IC training people who might be interested in having their characters change professions? Ether/or works.

Franco Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) And so the army's NPC remnants end as Keinju disappears. Please do not attempt to have your chars make contact with him or the NPCs on that journey. I assure you if he ever does return he will be without his soldiers-I do not plan on using him for some time. However, all PCs in the army are assumed to be at Lake Pala with Kuyre unless you really wish them to be part of the lost army. Be warned that in that case, I cannot guarantee if said army will ever return and if so, when.Assume Lezuu never existed as well. I don't want to use him, either, and I'd prefer Keinju to be alone if he ever came back.-The Fearless Leader Edited December 8, 2011 by The Fearless Leader [Profiles] Wisdom. Restraint. Emptiness.

Pyroi Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Well, there are a lot of new toa around. Some might need training. It just makes sense...but it is very reminiscent of the Academy.

Toa Fanixe Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Maybe it could be more of a library, with the librarians being former warriors.

Let's Henshin! Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Actually on the topic of monasteries I believe, I have a great location in Ko-Koro. You see I said that one of my Character's, Vernadon, father was a scholar. While his father did travel a lot his home was located in Ko-Koro. I figure that perhaps we could modify it slightly so instead of a home, Vernadon's father could have been head of group of scholars living in a monastery or library.

EmperorWhenua Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Monasteries can have libraries, but a library itself seems dull.

Let's Henshin! Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Actually Monks tend to prefer hardships, and avoid materialistic items. Thus it would make sense for monks/scholars to live somewhere cold and not have heating instead just wearing heavier clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyroi Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Because Ko-wahi is very cold, and books are fragile...Too fragile...They just don;t last well in extreme enviroments. As such, the Makuta would just set it ablaze, a la the Library of Alexandria. Wouldn't want all of those newbie toa actually KNOWING what they're doing. Access Profiles.

EmperorWhenua Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Who said it has to be books? Plus, paper was never mentioned and doesn't exist in Bionicle canon, soooo... I've always considered literature to be carved on stone tablets. No worries about it freezing or burning there! But I'd be wary with having anything like a university, temple complex or similar.
