You mentioned speaking to Lucifer about their RP combat system, and that they had a more in depth document than what was mentioned in the episode. Would you and them be willing to post the full rules here, or a link to them?

Hello, dear listener! I talked to Lucifer and found he hadn’t yet put the file on Google Drive, but has done so at your request, so feel free to feel special.https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQjjifb_iCDCxwC0w2UZw8fngneYt__DXehkQNU7wJRe1Zstg7BuJiXTsd77ESPul1cwULpB6kakrQg/pubI’ll also paste the contents here for easier reblogging:

Alright time to learn the roll system! Let’s say you roll 567.

• 5 is the accuracy, depending on the creature or character the accuracy may change. Generally base accuracy needed to hit is 3, meaning you need to roll 300+ to hit.

• 6 Is your base damage if your attack manages to land. These can be modified by the DM if they feel reasons be worthy enough or how in-depth they feel the RP can be. 

• 7 Is your Crit Chance, with Crit if you manage to roll 7, 8, or 9 as a third digit your base damage is doubled.  Again, this is something that can be changed with the DM if they feel it worthy or wish to be more in-depth with their RP

• Now let us say you rolled a double digit like, 57.  Don’t lose hope, you can still use the first number as accuracy, and the second digit number as base damage just there is no chance of crit. Some DMs may simply say no its a miss, and that is their choice it is their RP after all.

Over the years there has been many changes and people adding their own unique spin on my roll system I made. Such as:

• Defensive stance: Instead of rolling you tell the DM you are prepared to dodge or block an attack, with this you gain a +2 to your evasion. ( Can change depending on DM. ) Meaning if the DM needed 300 to hit you, they would now need to roll 500 to hit. Remember though this forfeits your roll.

• ITS OVER 900!!!: With this if you ever roll a 900+, 9 becomes your base Damage, second digit is added to your base damage, and third digit is crit chance. In the end it looks like this, Roll a 957, so it would be 9+5=14, 14 x 2 = 28! YOU DID 28 damage! HOLY BAGEEBERS BATMAN! (Again DM’s don’t have to do this, this is something others have made they thought was fun, and I would agree as the creator of this system.)

• Charge Attacks! This is a system in which you forfeit your rolls for up to 5 turns (Or less depending on DM). You can not heal nor attack at all during these 5 turns, you may be healed by others, just you can’t do anything. At the end of the 5 turns, you may unleash a devastating attack. Roll 5 times or the amount of times you waited to charge, minus the accuracy (Or with depending on DM.) And add it all up for a massive attack.  So example: 355= 5, 672 = 7, 311 = 1, 237 = 6, 555 = 5 (5+7+1+6+5= Math (24) )

And there you have it, feel free to play with it as you wish. I may have thought it up, but I am not controlling how it is used. Be open and explore what cool twists maybe you can come up with. Enjoy and Have fun in your RP plots! This is Lucifer, signing off!

UPDATE

Healing:  Heals work just like damage except you skip the first number as you can’t really miss with it.

• EXAMPLE: Roll a 672 You heal someone for 7

• AoE Heals: Your heal is reduced by half, So in the case of 672  The heal being 7 it would drop down to 3, in the case of halves we are going to round down. So everyone around the healer is healed for 3. (Can be changed by the DM if they so choose.)

• Health: Base health is usually always 30. Any changes are all up to the DM, as no one is going to believe a Rat’s health compared to a fully armored man is going to be the same. DM’s may play with the health as they see fit, I have seen people do bosses with 300 health - Lucifer Wargard (Gilgamesh)

Episode 039 – RP Combat Systems

Nothing's more fun than beating on your enemies as well as your friends, and that’s why we have roleplay combat! In this episode, we discuss numerous different combat and sparring systems used in scenarios or at fight nights, from the simplest /random rolls to tabletop-inspired character sheets and modifier calculations. Whether you’re just getting started, or looking for new ideas to upgrade your current system, there’s something new to learn — no dice, pencil, or paper needed.

Find out more about the RP Rolling System (created by Lucard DeLioncoeur of Omega) discussed in this episode here, and the FFXIV DnD adaptation (created by Sorenson Asgard of Gilgamesh) here!

Episode 038 - Open-World RP Events

There’s a whole great big world out there in Eorzea — so why not get out of your house (or apartment) and roleplay in it? As it turns out, sharing public spaces isn’t always as easy as just avoiding Shout chat. In our discussion of open-world RP events, we discuss the advantages and drawbacks versus housing areas, popular event locations, the etiquette between different chat modes, and what can happen when public RP events clash with the game’s general population.

idk if the editing is off or smth, but emi continously being interrupted is very frustrating to listen to. just smth to think on

Hi! Emi here!

It looks like a track got misaligned during editing, and that’s what you’re hearing. Rest assured that wasn’t what it sounded like when we recorded it. Sorry for the mistake! I’ve got a fixed file uploaded to our Google Drive and we’re working on reuploading it to the website and the podcast platforms.

[musecastxiv]

Have you ever considered an episode relating to combat RP, from free form narrative combat to roll -offs to whatever other system you might know of? I feel like the whole thing can be a bit of a mess, and there are enough variations you could probably do a full episode on it

That is literally the subject of our next episode (#39) ;D

Episode 037 - Roleplay and Privacy

Ever get the feeling you’re being watched? Even in our fictional lives, all of us participating in RP value a certain level of privacy when it comes to in-character interactions, and feel hurt when that privacy is violated, unintentionally or not. Join us as we discuss the roles of the various out-of-game platforms for sharing, the pros and cons of livestreaming events, and how to make sure you’re doing the right things by your fellow RPers.

Voice RP Special - “Operation Archon" Deleted Scenes

We interrupt your usual serious business RP discussion to bring you a very special treat! MuseCast XIV host Remix Sakura and our friend Ryssrael perform an all-original, voice-acted audio play, in the roles of Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn and Raubahn Aldynn.

Operation Archon was a momentous — and stressful — event in history for the Eorzean Alliance. So stressful that the Admiral couldn’t seem to handle it without getting drunk, much to the chagrin of the Flame General. How does he handle her overly-emotional rants and monologues?
