Dip yourself in the fluid and rise as a Chrome Mage, garbed in your robe, sheen-er than any silk.

About
Chrome mages are able to harness power from many potential sources to overcome obstacles. Gameplay is extremely variable and customizable. Combat and survival RPG adventure. Gameplay sessions will be in 1 hour blocks. (additional blocks may immediately follow)

Current Players
Taking on one player now. (I will not be taking on dibs or waitlist, but I may offer another spot up for grabs at some point.)

Create Two spells. Each with a source, influence, form, and variants thereof. (you may wish to announce you are making a character and then edit your post)

Steadfast: Cooldown. Get slightly stronger if stored extra. ("Wild" 3 mins x1, "Winding" 10 mins x2, "Surprise" 30 mins x4)

Glorious Incandescent Lightning Spear
Worthless Loving Pacifist Turret

never heard of those, I am very grateful for you telling me, what do they do?

[Shadestyle]

I assumed we created spells to which you assigned effects, this is a game with predetermined effects?

[GameBoyBlue]

Lets try it, you come up with meaning for the parts of the first spell, I'll do the second.

[Shadestyle]

Glorious (Can be used 3 times total, once each 2 Minutes) Incandescent (Holy affinity, Extra Damage) Lightning (Lightning affinity, Extra Damage) Spear (Throws a magical spear.)

Worthless (Can be cast every 2 Seconds) Loving (Immune to redirection or charm) Pacifist (Cannot attack the living, bonus to attacking the non-living) Turret (Creates a Metal Magic turret full of munitions depending on the spell)

This work?

[GameBoyBlue]

I can work with that. With some tweaks.

Here it is in my verbage system:

Secret Wild Incandescent Holy Stormy Thunder Spear

[GameBoyBlue]

That's a mouth full

=-= Tutorial =-=

A wild goomba appears! It lunges forth! Post dodge within ten minutes to avoid damage and 5 minutes for a counter-attack. You failed to dodge. Respond how you wish.

Thanks for playing!

Dude, expecting a thirty-minute turnaround is insane even if I'm playing...

Other than that:Your system is cool.  Your player count is not as cool.

[Shadestyle]

Nah, it's cool, i should not have been away, i was celebrating an early mother's day.

I assume I need to be here next time, or what?

My dm style was grown on the GameFAQs forums. Turn around was pretty hi there.

You are in a forest. It is night. You hear sounds and you are cold. What do you do? Note, this is storymode, no timelimit to respond.

Worthless Turret to blast down a tree, Lightning spear to catch it ablaze, I warm myself by the fire until morning.
