One Piece: Grand Line 3.5

[DragonTrainer]

Kitchens and Classrooms

So far, there's only five pages and I have doubts that it's gonna update any time soon. Still, it might be worth a look if you're interested. >_>

[ThePhantom]

Well, the movie's over, on to the next island.

New Map!

[John Cribati]

"That Mecha Game" is Gurren Lagann. Or maybe Gunbuster.

[Kato]

Okay, I'm getting confused... or maybe I'm not, but I think I need to...

We got... Rika(?), the girl who talks without spaces from the movie who will play along, we got DM, who ironically is not the DM but will be joining the team, maybe, and we possibly have Pha... er, Phi, who doesn't care for RPGs but fell for DM first sight and will also start playing, probably more long term since it won't be of much use to introduce a 'newbie player' and just keep him for one adventure, I guess...
Right?

[Lizard Lord]

While I have a feeling Phil will play Usopp, I can't figure out who D.M. and Rika will play. Not for this adventure at least.

[The Zoat]

I've got a feeling Phil will play Sanji, Rika will play Chopper, and DM will play Usopp.

[Kato]

I've got a feeling Phil will play Sanji, Rika will play Chopper, and DM will play Usopp.

You do remember Chopper is not in it for like... heck, I have no idea, fifty episodes? But she might be the kind that keeps switching around characters like the most important characters from each arc... or something.

[The Zoat]

I figure they'll switch about for a while.

[ThePhantom]

High craft(shipbuilding) eh. That points to either Usopp or Franky, but given the fact that Phil's and Rika's characters are from the same place, likely Usopp.

[Welf]

While I have a feeling Phil will play Usopp, I can't figure out who D.M. and Rika will play. Not for this adventure at least.

I think Rika will play Kaya, since she wanted to be a doctor. Also, she has the classic backstory of dead parents. Then changes to Vivi and later to Robin? between Kaya and Vivi she might take Yosaku or Johnny; both suddenly show up and are old friends of Zorro. D.M. could take Jango and wants to introduce him as as grey character who changes to the good guys, but it doesn't work out. He then takes the other of the Johnny/Yusako pair.

[Kato]

Wasn't there some minor doctor in the arc responsible for Kaya's health? I forgot... Not much of an idea for the other, though... maybe a villain? I always liked Black much more than I should I think. He was the first really good villain and I'm sad we never really saw him again.

[ThePhantom]

So, Phil is Usopp. Question answered.

[Kato]

So, Phil is Usopp. Question answered.

Well, the easy one... Though I guess Sanhi seems to be more fitting for his character. Than again Usopp is one of the few not-hax crew members and Phil is new to to the game, so...

[lord_khaine]

Ahh, brilliant introduction of Usoep, i really like the way him and his 80 million followers were done :)

[ThePhantom]

Well, Phil's lack of knowledge of RPG explains here why he's always the weakest member of the straw hats.

[DragonTrainer]

What do you guys think of the banner?

[lord_khaine]

Not bad, Of the people on it, then i might considder finding a picture with a better angle on Zorro though, but thats just a minor detail, and it does look good.

[ThePhantom]

I like it, it gives a hint of what the characters are like, and what the comic is.


------

Whoa, didn't see that coming. Its rare when a player is the villain when the rest of the party isn't.

[D_Lord]

Well this could be interesting.

[lord_khaine]

Interesting twist, now it really seems clear that Gm will play Sanji later on, to complete the monster trio.

Anyway, missed a "not" in being able to swim

Not really, actually. If you say "in exchange for five dollars," it means that you're giving up five dollars.

[lord_khaine]

But if you say "in exchange for being able to swim" , then you get something, but in the exchange you become able to swim.

[John Cribati]

But if you say "in exchange for being able to swim" , then you get something, but in the exchange you become able to swim.

Saying "I get X in exchange for Y" means that Y is what you give up. So he gives up being able to swim. If he'd said "in exchange for my ability to swim," you would have parsed it as "I am giving up my ability to swim," wouldn't you?

[Aidan305]

Oooh, paranoia reference. I like it.

[DragonTrainer]

Just out of curiosity, how many of you have watched this video?

[ThePhantom]

Well, most of those wouldn't show up until merman island.

[Welf]

It's the return of the mutant dice. Explains so much.

Also: what did Luke mean when he said Lysop might be the most broken character ever? Lysop was always the weakest character in the series, so I'm curious how that will work out.

Yeah, but he can take a 4-ton bat to the face and keep going, so even though he's the weakest, he's still pretty strong, in a sense.

And to be fair, Ussop and Luffy actually fought each other, and Ussop didn't do too badly. You could say it's because he knew Luffy's strengths and had time to prepare... but who exactly does that remind you of? *cough*

[ThePhantom]

Besides, Lysop is there first ranged party member, and has different damage types, like fire.

Also he's the weakest member of the strawhats, which are among of the most powerful people in the world.

[DragonTrainer]

I originally intended for Usopp to take on the Artificer class, but... he doesn't make golems, now does he? In the end I decided that a 3.5 version of the Grenadier class might suit him better. >_>

I may later decide that the Alchemist class for the system they're using also implements elements of the Artificer class to account for all the handy dandy inventions he comes up with. ^_^
