That's right! For those of you who know him, for those of you who hate him, THE SPECTRE HAS ARRIVED. If you browse the comments on the Paranatural site, you know that I tend to comment a lot down there and am usually leading the way with nonsense nothings I whisper to the wind or something dumb like that. I enjoy games and comics and other dumb stuff. I'll probably toil around here, but I mostly yell at the comments. Like, I quite literally yell at my computer until it types words for me.

OH! I also am supposed to be here to generate interest for a Paranatural tabletop rpg loosely based off 4e rules. Post about that if you're interested.

Hey there, and welcome! The forum is struggling to stay alive these days, but that just means we're twice as glad to have you. Don't be afraid to try and spark new conversations, because we're a little starved of those lately.

There's been a lot of interest in RPGs here in the past, but we've yet to have a full blown tabletop style adventure. I personally don't have much extra time for that kind of thing these days, but I'm happy to support that project and I could very well end up joining in depending on various uncontrollable factors. Either way, I'm always happy to meet more roleplayers! I was nearly convinced that the forum had breathed its dying breath when our last RPG fizzled and died due to an absent GM.

Yeah, I know the forum is dying. Actual DnD type game is what I was holding. Should an 'RP/ Role-Play" need a writer I can handle. The Paranatural tabletop wouldn't necessary be conducted on forum. I'd likely post the rulebook by means of PDF for download. This is just to ensure there's some interest. I plan to be at least semi-active here. The key to not letting the forum die is over posting. If I see a topic, Ima jump at it.

Do so! I spent months following that philosophy, only stopping recently from lost hope. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic right now, though; thanks for that!

Out of curiosity, do you have a lot of experience with super-power style RPG systems? I understand it can be quite a challenge to make them work satisfactorily.

Edit: Kinda funny that this would be my 1000th post, hehehe.

Cool. I was just gong to do a 4e base. I found that the homestuck fandom actually did one a while back using it and I figured it wouldn't be awful. I just planned to use 'tool type' as the class system. Manipulator, Creator, etc. Magic items would be dropped in favor of just having tools providing various stat boosts. Leveling up would be the spirit gaining more energy while in the tool. This means retooling is declassing and level resets. At paragon path (lvl 10) you could either release your spirit for effects (undecided) or keep them contained to power up the tool. Spectral energy can be used for range, but costs health to use. Ghosts may also be available as a race, but tool use drains health similar to Spectral energy.

Happy 1000th new friend!

Thanks!

That is a very intriguing base system you have there, I have to say. You've got at least one person really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Cool! If we do decide to shift forum location, I'm working on spectrebox.lefora.com
I think it'll be multifunctional so we can get a healthy stream of members from both paranatural and elsewhere. Plus, if a section is Paranatural dedicated, it might help Zack get more followers.

List of stuff to do for Paranatural:
-Make Paranatural Tabletop
-Make active Forum
-Make an actual Insolent Children band that will impress Zack enough that he'll use it if there's ever a short video or something
