Fin de Siecle: How many RPs have you seen involving Great Power Diplomacy at the end of the 19th century? A lot, right? Well, this one's different. Fin de Siecle is a tightly-moderated RP scenario for four or more players, with high-quality writing, explicit goals, and a ranking system so you know just where you stand. It's not just fooling around - you must out-fight, out-trade, out-negotiate, and out-betray your competition. Do you have the will to power? If so, follow the link and sign up today!

Don't worry, I'm letting you be quite grey, if you want. Just don't go to levels of assholery deign of Lobo

I'm considering powers right now. That's always fun for me. I'm debating between lexiconcy or pupgolem creation.

Oh, lexiconcy? The one where you can write the names of things and make them appear? Wtth some restrictions, it could be playable without the risk of godmodding. But to be honest, I never really liked those "catch-all" powers. They sorta make everything a bit easier to resolve.

I personally find it nice to toy with powers that may seem limited in extenct. For example, my character will be the Guardian of the USA, a classic flying brick (Flight, Super Durable, Strong), but without the usual secondary power, be it laser beams, or freezing breath and etcetera.

For example, if a comet is falling down on a city, my character couldn't just shot it out from the sky, and he would have to devise an alternative solution: bring it away with supestrenght? Or crush it to pieces? Or maybe throwing an object at it to deflect it?

But that's just my way to choose powers. Feel fre to use Lexiconcy if you like. Just regulate yourself.

Yeah, I usually limit myself with strange restrictions. For example, limitation to natural material or some such thing.

But thibking about it, I'm liking golem creation more and more. I'm imagining two dozen wood golems assaulting a fire demon, getting lit on fire, then going to attack its cultists.

Sounds nice enough

I usually play as someone like Bruce Wayne or Lex, no superpower.

Meh. Max Payne trumps them Both. He hasn't got a peak physique or hi-tech gadgets, and by the third game he's even somewhat overweight and suffering from alchol problems.

But yet, this fat ex-cop only needs a gun, some ammo and a couple of painkillers to seriously fuck your shit up in slo-mo.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

*Shrug* Perhaps just Sou'Frica, then? I mean, lots of white folks, no brown folks, if you catch my drift.

Perhaps, perhaps.

(I'm not including South Africa because I have the feeling that no one will play a South African, sadly. I'd actually feel good if someone roleplayed a black character, for once.)

Admittedly, blacks still keep getting the short end of the stick there.

I thouht blacks were supposed to have longer sticks than white people.

While it isn't a personal concern for me, I'm a tad pleased to note the U.K ranks higher than the U.S.

[Agritum]

Due to the Scotsmen, I guess.

My mum's Glaswegian, so I'm find with that.

Ah, not far off then. I'm out the fifth, with my ability to post spiking after the eighth. Perfect timing.

I'm already out.

If you need help picking a superpower, you could always go here and hit "random page."

[Ionian Knights]

Is there a pirate roleplay?

[Tiltjuice]

Is there a pirate roleplay?

Space pirates count?

no.

Actual Pirates roleplay, with Port Royal, and other Caribbean ports.

It'd be interesting, seeing how people would do on a vessel..
