Evex_Wolfwing Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Goodbye Innocence They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more. The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you. Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers. Come Tenno, you must join the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a goose Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Guys, I'm pretty humble. That means that I'm not going to brag about how Fatal Error gives you the ability to be whatever you want (the species there are guidelines), you can use almost any mask (including immoral ones), you can have up to nine character profiles, and you get to be trapped on a post-apocalyptic world... where you get to fight against aliens. I'm also not going to mention how a particular member called Stormageddon will join it if it wins, and will create an insane Toa of Gravity who lives in a hole, wears a Suletu, and may or may not be called Steven.But I'm not talking about those. Which, surprisingly, leaves me with nothing much to say.

Waves gives you a massive, open world where you have free reign to go anywhere - there is nowhere off limits (and I mapped as far north as you can travel in the RPGs time space so yeah. ) and plenty to still explore.

Your doctor would fit in perfectly fine though, no problems there.-Toa Levacius Zehvor Edited June 10, 2012 by Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lorax Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 To be honest, I think Frostelus could be allowed in almost any of the current entries. I wouldn't have a problem with them in Transformation. While they may not be on all of the "allowable species" lists, they aren't on any of the the "banned species" lists (except Troubles of the Dawn because that only has toa and Matoran).Since they're not an overpowered species, I don't see why most prospective GMs wouldn't let you play them. Allowing Frostelus in an RPG isn't really unique or a major selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Chronicler Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I have a feeling that Grochi's idea for an RPG isn't going to go well at all. Six staff and three staff helpers are enough to keep me busy keeping up. Any more staff, and I think I'd go insane from the work needed. You'd think that by increasing staff, you'd have less work overall, but from what I've seen in the preparation stage, the reverse is true. Grochi... good luck with it.So Far, I'll be voting for Kirse and Transformation. The third is still an uncertainty.

Cosmic Titan Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 As always I'm disappointed that none of the RPGs allow Makuta, in any form. Because honestly what is the harm in a powerless, guilt ridden Makuta trapped in the body of a deceased Toa?Obviously way too much even if the Makuta is from a parallel world. :(Anyway it looks like some better RPGs are surfacing. I really like the concepts of Surrender Unto the Hive, Goodbye Innocence and The Shifting Sands even if Dreamland and Rust aren't being resubmitted.But the Waves of the South is still my favorite of the current submissions.
