What I mean is that you don't actually tell us about the world. Like at all. Or why the PCs are together, which is kind of important so that we don't have another Alterverse situation.

[Sanure]

I mean, it's not that big a deal, don't worry. Just a pet peeve.

Well, If it adds to the fun of the game, then I will gladly add in Accuracy checks.

I'd say the beginning lore will be fleshed out once we're all actually done with sheets.

Most info will be in the IC. Other than that, The main reason you all are together is because of [character specific reasons] of joining the Church of St. Esbel's adventurer Unit (most of who are very very bad people, but the PCs don't have to be.

The world itself is full of monsters, dangers, and conflict, most of which is caused by the Church of St. Esbel (but this is OOC knowledge.)

posting to maybe join, if i have time

[Twinwolf]

The issue with most info being IC is that then we don't actually know anything about the world our characters live in until we start. We could make a character who is then entirely invalidated because of something we weren't told.

I'd say the beginning lore will be fleshed out once we're all actually done with sheets.

The stuff I'm asking about is the things that we actually need to make our characters which is not even hinted at in the OP.

[Shadestyle]

I don't know any of the lore outside of the OOC, and I still have an Ok Character.

[Twinwolf]

Yeah, but some people want to include lore in their characters. Which we can't do if we don't know anything about the lore.

[Shadestyle]

I included Lore in mine, i just kept it vague and nonspecific.

Why not just ask if your idea fits?

[SOLDIER First]

also is it possible to craft a girlfriend

[Shadestyle]

Sure, if you want to absorb enough souls to no longer be normal boyfriend/othergirlfriend material.

...Vague and nonspecific does not really help.

For example, we were told most characters lived in "Esbellern". What the heck is Esbellern? We were told that there exists a church of St. Esbel. Who's that? What does the religion they follow actually worship? How big is the church beyond the whole resurrection thing? There are several basic setting things that weren't even hinted at.

I'm sorry if this is annoying, but how am I supposed to make a character if I know next to nothing about the world they live in?

[TheBiggerFish]

Eeehhh.

This seems like a bit too much of a hodgepodge of ill-defined mechanics for me to jump at it.

And that is a sad statement.

Oh? So your calling trespassers a hodgepodge of ill-defined mechanics?

No, this mess of stuff on top of Trespassers' system, which mostly works, is a mess.

[Sanure]

Esbellern is the Capital of Valkain. Valkain is the main continent of the setting. Frostfell Wastes is the northern part of Valkain, called the Northern expanse by the Valkain people. The church of St. Esbel is the main faction and governing body of Valkain's Religious aspect. They worship the conqueror king Esbel Falketh, who united the continent under his reign. Yes he was evil. Yes the church is semi-evil. Yes you do work for said church, Probably, mostly.

TBF, I honestly don't care if you think it's a mess. The system was modified so as to fit the theme of the game. Theme of the game, is Fantasy Grimdark. Join at your own risk.
