he is right.

[Talarion]

Personally, any FSN RtD would be good with me. :3

[tomas1297]

A FSN RtD is more complicated, requires previous lore knowledge from the GM and is unlikely to actually appear out of nowhere.

Which is why I passed the other RTD to Cerapa and I'm going to host the FSN RTD with 5 players (2 mages, 2 servants, 1 supporting character. 4 wouldn't be enough and I don't feel like running a game with 6 or more)~

 Reserved spots for Caellath, Talarion and who else?

[Caellath]

Tiruin, he has to be there with me and he is always up for a RtD.

I have to have someone to tease in-game

[tomas1297]

Tiruin, he has to be there with me and he is always up for a RtD.

Yeah, thought so.
 Also check your PMs.

[Caellath]

Yeah, thought so.
 Also check your PMs.

Checked and was writing an answer.

[zomara0292]

Here here!
I am joining in this too.

[tomas1297]

 You know what? I'll just have 4 players. 2 masters, 2 servants. that way I can focus on immersion and pay more attention to each character individually. So no more wait lists.

[Caellath]

@GM: Change this thread into the OOC one. So we can pick Masters and Servants here and discuss the game.

[Caellath]

As far as a character goes, I'd either go for a:

-Master. I like being an evil mastermind mage.
-Servant only if I got to be Archer.

I'd be a d**k in any case.

[tomas1297]

 I guess you can choose roles right now.
 The character classes are in the OP.
 Since the masters don't always summon who they want to summon, I guess the servant players choose what class they want to be and the masters either get or don't get the servants they want. But I guess you can talk to each other and decide what you want to be now.
 So...

As far as a character goes, I'd either go for a:

-Master. I like being an evil mastermind mage.
-Servant only if I got to be Archer.

I'd be a d**k in any case.

 ...If you want Archer to be on your side, you need to either be the servant or force Tiruin persuade another player to be Archer.
 And in any case, you'll probably want to have at least one Archer, Saber or Lancer since these are the main "direct combat" classes and are easier to negotiate with than the rest.

 Character sheet templates soon, I'm adding lots of explanations.

Edit: Also, I won't let you play Berserker.

[Caellath]

I'll wait to pick my character when Tiruin comes. After all, we really need Archer in this game or we'll lose a lot of fun and his characters do not fit into the ass stereotype.

So I may have to be Archer, for the good of roleplaying and a large amount of snark and cruel retorts.

[tomas1297]

After all, we really need Archer in this game or we'll lose a lot of fun and his characters do not fit into the ass stereotype.

It is good to know that we can agree on something.
 And by that I mean Archer being the best character.

Spoiler: FSN spoilarz. (click to show/hide)

I mean, goddamn, he almost defeated Berserker by himself. He's probably the third strongest servant after Gilgamesh-Archer and Berserker.
"You told me to hold him off. But it's okay if I kill him too, right?"
 God-fucking-damn.

[Caellath]

Well I'd say that...

Spoiler: FSN spoilers (click to show/hide)

Gilgamesh-Archer may be more powerful, but Archer could simply mop the floor with him. Do you remember in Unlimited Blade Works when Gilgamesh finds Archer holding Tohsaka hostage?
Archer had already said that he was at 1/10th of his powers and then he threatens Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is usually smug as hell, but he just shuts up and glares at Archer.
Then after some time weak Emiya almost kills Gilgamesh by using his Reality Marble. And Emiya has less than 1/10th of Archer's power. Which means Gilgamesh was actually afraid of Archer's threats at that time back in the castle.

[tomas1297]

 This is a TL;DR explanation of the setting, courtesy of Caellath:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The setting of the game is Fate/Stay Night's version of the Nasuverse. This link works well for any Servant or Master with knowledge about the War of the Grail. http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Fate/stay_night

TL;DR: The Holy Grail is a ritual in which 7 Servants plus the 8th, Avenger, are summoned. It is a Battle Royale with the Holy Grail - a vessel rumoured to grant any wish - as the ultimate prize. Only when the last Servant is standing the Holy Grail appears and due to that fact killing the Masters is optional but highly advisable.

Servants are extremely powerful spirits who can take a physical form to affect the material world. While in spirit form they are like ghosts, but they also save some of the magical energy they extract from their Masters to stay in our world.

Masters are magi. Each magus usually spends all of their lives studying and training for the Holy Grail War. Each Master is granted a command spell (usually seen as something akin to a tattoo etched on the skin of the magus) with three uses.
Each use allows to bend the Servant's will to one order of the Master, even if it happened to be impossible by normal means. For example, if the Master happened to be in danger and far away from the Servant, if he used the command spell and called for his spirit, the Servant would be teleported to his side, even if such magic happens to be impossible normally.
As long as a Master has a command spell, he can take a Servant that has no Master, either by killing him or being released in some way. The Masters use only two out of the three commands due to the fact that the last order is to fetch the Holy Grail. After losing the command spell, a Master is useless for his Servant and the latter usually searches for other Master after killing his last one.

 Since a lot still hasn't been explained, Caellath will be your Mr. Exposition.

 Character sheet templates:

Spoiler: If Master: (click to show/hide)

Name:(serious name. Actually, keep everything serious. Try spending some time on this. Minimalistic character sheets on a story-heavy game are kind of insulting to the GM.)
Age:(Self-explanatory. The magi participating are usually heirs of different families of magi, so the character should be young-ish.)
Appearence:(FSN magi hide magic from humans, so they should just dress (and act) like a normal person would. Also they're genetically humans so no blue hair or red eyes, please.)
Personality:(I encourage roleplay since I'm going to try making the RTD immersive and quite story-heavy, so try to not be boring. Also, I have to have you on the same side so your characters should have good goals, even if they're the anti-hero type.)
Bio:(This doesn't have to be too detailed, but try to not rape the F/SN cannon. You can, and should, reveal more during the game.)
Strategy:(I will use dice to generate your skills, basically representing how skilled/prepared your characters are. This tells me what playstyle you want. You can tell me you want more direct damage skills, more support, recon, if you want your magic to have a theme, basically anything you can think of, but no exact abilities - just the basic playstyle and theme.)

Spoiler: If Servant: (click to show/hide)

Class:(One of the classes mentioned in the OP, you can't pick Berserker or Avenger. Your characters class is also their name, by the way.)
Appearance:(Servants aren't human so your character may have unnatural eye/hair colours and they are from a different age so they wear traditional high fantasy stuff.)
Personality:(I encourage RP so try not to be boring. Also Saber, Lancer and Archer by default have at least some sense of morality and honor, even though Archers tend to be dicks while Avengers are always evil to some degree. Berserkers are always BATSHIT INSANE, but you can't play them.)
Bio: What the servant achieved in his/her life, why he became a servant and so on. Important for RP reasons. You should leave a lot out and reveal it through RP.)
Strategy:(I will use dice to determine your abilities, but if you want your character to focus on, for example attack more than defense or something like that, this is where you tell me. It should fit your class so no ranged Sabers, no kung fu Casters and etc. You can also tell me if you want your abilities to have a theme or something, though I will try to match them with your character anyway. You can ask for pretty much anything, but no exact abilities - just the general strategy or theme.)

 I may have work to do soon and go to sleep after that, so I'll leave it to you to sort out who wants to be who and I'll leave it to Caellath to point out canon rape and answer questions about the setting as well as why you might want to choose this or that.

Edit: You know what? Those who are familiar with FSN should play Servants and play Mr. Exposition while those who don't know about the setting should be inexperienced Mages, because that makes sense in canon.
