I took a little time to edit the chat once we were done. I edited it to remove the smilies, excess “lol”s, and
discussion. I also moved around a few posts to make the chat easier to read (There was more than once where more than one thing was being talked about between members, so moving a few posts made it much easier to follow.)
(22:00:08) Guardian_A: Some quick ground rules before we get started.
1. Please don’t
the boards. Give us a little time to answer your questions before you post again.
2. Don’t ask the same question multiple times, we will do our best to answer questions in the order they are asked.
(22:00:37) Guardian_A: The Battle Reporter RPG forum started out as a hand full of posts a couple of threads and a single RPG. Since that time, it has grown to more than 1500 posts, close to 30 threads and three active RPG’s. What started with a simple set of rules and an idea has evolved into what is possibly this sites most active forums. With that said, welcome to Battle Reporter’s first Live Roleplaying Discussion!

(22:30:16) Son_Of_Khaine: Somewhat Goth somewhat
(22:31:38) Guardian_A: I've alswys felt that killing a character should be a profound event and should help progress the storyline along.
(22:31:57) Son_Of_Khaine: It will when i do it Guardian
(22:32:21) Rockgollem: Killing a character especially is a part of a Guard story that should never be missed
(22:30:37) Rockgollem: World Eaters is the army for you
(22:30:50) Son_Of_Khaine: Yes it is Rock yes it is
(22:31:15) Son_Of_Khaine: so before we contuine any questions reguarding Mouth of Fire?
(22:32:13) Son_Of_Khaine: when i was comign up with this i read alot of the last chancers books
(22:34:17) Guardian_A: As everyone knows, I’m the storyteller of the “City of Roulette” RPG. This storyline has grown and evolved into something that has surprised even me. It was originally supposed to be a way for players to try out their characters while they waited for an RPG that they wanted their character to join. Instead, it has turned into an elaborate storyline that has included close to 20 PC’s and countless NPC’s in the three chapters up to this point.
(22:34:46) Son_Of_Khaine: Its our most popular RPG and our best Gmed
(22:35:12) Guardian_A: Thank you for your vote of confidence
(22:35:26) Rockgollem: Is city of roulette dwarf only RPG?
(22:35:34) Son_Of_Khaine: No
(22:35:40) Son_Of_Khaine: anythign and everything
(22:35:52) Rockgollem: Ah, then I shal l strive to join if possible!
(22:35:52) Guardian_A: City of Roulette is an open RPG where all kinds of character are welcome
(22:36:43) Rockgollem: http://darkmonkey.org.uk/4/Main/870
(22:36:50) Son_Of_Khaine: We have mutiple story arcs to choose from or you can try and froge your own
(22:37:09) Son_Of_Khaine: lol rock
(22:37:10) Guardian_A: We've had a couple of Night Goblins, verious kinds of elves, Orcs, Ogres, Vampries, Humans, Skaven, and Dwarfs. So yeah, any character is welcome
(22:37:27) Rockgollem: Insanity ensues!
(22:37:39) Son_Of_Khaine: Also murder and arson
(22:37:50) Rockgollem: Ah indeed, indeed
(22:37:54) Son_Of_Khaine: and kidnap
(22:37:59) thepowner238: ok Gman... I think its time to bring Marcus back
(22:38:02) Son_Of_Khaine: and blackmail
(22:38:15) Son_Of_Khaine: and thats just my charahcter
(22:37:57) Guardian_A: At times. Needless to say, the City Guard of Roulette have their work cut out for them
(22:38:05) Rockgollem: I shall try to brush upon the background a bit, and see how it goes from there
(22:38:48) Guardian_A: We'll be looking forward to seeing you there. Feel free to PM me if you need/want any help getting started.
(22:39:02) thepowner238: OK.
(22:41:02) Guardian_A: To be honest, the Roulette RPG has taken a lot of time and effort to bring it this far, but its finally hitting a point where its taking on a life of its own. Its nice to come online and see that they story is slowly carrying itself along
(22:41:32) Son_Of_Khaine: The Guild is a good example of this
(22:39:12) thepowner238: cUZ IF YOU REALLY SEARCH BACK IN YM POSTS WITH HIM
(22:39:16) thepowner238: whoops caps lol
(22:39:17) Son_Of_Khaine: Yep direct your pms at the most dashing and handsome meber here (myself
(22:39:45) thepowner238: Then I said he'd take three days to amke that shield. Its been 3 game days, so perfect timing!
(22:40:14) Son_Of_Khaine: I thoght i burned him?
(22:40:32) thepowner238: not Marcus Sicklemeyer
(22:40:51) Son_Of_Khaine: ??? Guardian?
(22:41:39) Guardian_A: SoK, your character brurned part of the Telean part of the city, Marcus wasnt among those burned out of their home
(22:41:48) thepowner238: I dont know how Marcus can fit in the storyline however......
(22:42:01) Son_Of_Khaine: Ah thats right
(22:42:32) Guardian_A: Every character brings something new to the story. You shouldnt have any trouble finding your way
(22:42:51) Rockgollem: Don't worry...
(22:42:58) Son_Of_Khaine: A new friend is ariving soon maybe you can ally with him
(22:43:06) Rockgollem: He will....
(22:43:08) thepowner238: A new friend?
(22:43:12) thepowner238: oh ya rock
(22:43:13) Guardian_A: Thats one of the great things about the Roulette RPG, you dont have to get carried away by the story if you dont want to, you can just set around the bar and tell stories with other characters if you prefer
(22:43:40) thepowner238: well maybe me and rock can collaborate on that one
(22:43:47) thepowner238: see what we like
(22:43:52) Rockgollem: perhaps
(22:44:01) thepowner238: work together as buddies and save the world!!!
(22:44:34) Guardian_A: Actually, I give out extra experience for characters working together and helping each other
(22:44:04) Rockgollem: I am unsure as to joining yet, so no guarentes
(22:44:19) Son_Of_Khaine: nothing to do with you two
(22:44:24) Son_Of_Khaine: its diffrent
(22:44:27) thepowner238: Or cast the world into darkness and we all die
(22:45:25) Rockgollem: AH,I already have doomsday scenario built out for both WHF and 40K... except for the Chaos....
(22:46:41) Son_Of_Khaine: after discussing with my costar wernot sayign anything
(22:46:59) thepowner238: anything about what?
(22:47:14) Son_Of_Khaine: nuthin
(22:47:38) Rockgollem: Shhh... Iz Sekret Boss!
(22:47:51) Son_Of_Khaine: so any questions?
(22:47:55) thepowner238: not going to say anything about nothing? But you must have something to not talk about
(22:48:02) Rockgollem: I think they've all been answered
(22:48:12) Guardian_A: SoK and myself have the beginnings of something new in the Roulette storyline. But your just going to have to follow the story to find out what!
(22:48:47) Son_Of_Khaine: any questions?
(22:49:06) Guardian_A: You guys are welcome to ask any questions you have or any ideas for future projects if you want?
(22:48:53) Rockgollem: Not from me
(22:49:10) Goth: Ive got answers to my questions
(22:49:36) Rockgollem: No future idea, since I have no idea that this idea for your RPG is, Guardian!
(22:50:20) Son_Of_Khaine: so anyone have any questions reguarding anything RPG related?
(23:00:42) Goth: How much time a week do you GMs spend on the ROGS?
(23:00:58) Son_Of_Khaine: about 4 hours a week
(23:01:00) Goth: RPG
(23:01:07) Guardian_A: Myself, probably about 30 minutes every other day
(23:01:08) Goth: Ok
(23:01:18) Son_Of_Khaine: guardian types faster
(23:01:24) thepowner238: lol
(23:01:28) Guardian_A: Thats not including the time I spend reading other peoples posts.
(22:50:41) thepowner238: whens the next discussion?
(22:50:50) thepowner238: or is that still on the drawing board?
(22:51:34) thepowner238: if we do continue, every 6 months sound good? by then the Threads should have grown
(22:51:48) thepowner238: or 3 months?
(22:51:33) Guardian_A: Consider it on the drawing board for now. But I think this chat has gone over well enough, that there WILL be a next time.
(22:51:35) Son_Of_Khaine: instead of goth having to wake up at 5am
(22:52:25) thepowner238: I wanna give kudos to goth though
(22:52:29) thepowner238: for waking up at 5am
(22:52:40) thepowner238: *virtual high five*

(22:51:08) Son_Of_Khaine: were going to try and help our european friends next time
(22:51:22) Son_Of_Khaine: which means that we go off there time
(22:52:45) Guardian_A: I'll be playing it by ear for now, but I think SoK's idea to do it once a month might be a good idea
(22:53:39) Guardian_A: Well, let me be the first to thank you all for coming, we enjoyed having you all with us
(22:54:01) thepowner238: enjoyed having you guys talk to meh!

of staying on topic and we managed to cover everything we had planned in a reasonable ammount of time. The fact that there was talk about another chat in the future and everyone had fun says a lot about the event. Heck, we already have one new RPGer/character out of the deal!
