Hahaha holy shit..just realised that my class (Berserkers) fight while on Magic Mushrooms and there's a whole section of stuff to deal with when I take them..
Ogre berserker with massive strength hopped up on shrooms..
This. Is. Going. To. Be. Hilarious.
Right, since I've said that, lemme be the first to link a completed (I think) character sheet. Some bits are unfilled (Initiative, since we're not using it in this game, Weapon DP because that depends on the fulcrum I'm holding it at the time). And If I've worked out my calculations right my ogre can (and apparently actually must, due to the stupid way they handle these things - his STR well overshoots the point where you start taking penalties for not using a weapon one-handed) wield a 2H hammer in 1H...
I give you Stupid-Shit, the batshit-crazy Gruagarch-Ogre Berserker on shrooms. I've totally hammed the character skill/gear-wise and thus he's good for nothing but combat (and rape, with that Wrestling bonus..and massive STR-based bonuses to Smithing skills if I ever, ever need them), but hey that's the point of the game right?

Hey, something in FATAL that is kind of sorta maybe not quite historically "accurate".
It has been theorized that the "berzerks" of the Viking age may have used some form of psychoactive substance (Amanita muscaria is one possibility). However, given the lack of evidence from that period of time, it's still speculation, and there are many other theories such as mental illness, post-tramatic stress disorder, booze, or simple historical exaggeration.
Of course, FATAL goes with the retarded route of having your character trip out on magic mushrooms, and uses something that could be an interesting class feature into something stupid.

I was going to join this and have it be my first foray into the tabletop RPG world, but then as I read the thread I changed my mind.
Instead I'm going to watch this adventure unfold, because it sounds like it's going to be fantastic. God fucking speed to all of you.

Yeah you might find Pathfinder or D&D easier systems to get started with, if someone runs a game in either of those. FATAL is complicated to the point of uber-autism.

I got myself a wagon, an ox, a bastard sword, some armor and went ahead and paid the 300 SP licensing fees to buy a 500 SP female slave. It said that slaves cost different amount based on race but I couldn't find prices so I paid the base cost. My slave is a female Ogre named Body-Bumper. I still have 325 SP left what should I spend it on?
I also just learned that because I'm a middle aged dwarf I can morph into a butterfly for 1d10 days.

I'm fully armed and armored, I don't think I need a bodyguard. But I am hoping to expand my stable of sex slaves.
If we start in another tavern fight it might be a good idea to take whatever makeshift weapons are there.
Appreciated, but I think I'll watch a couple games before I jump in for now.
I have a couple friends that play D&D and thought it was something I couple just jump into. I want to be a bit smarter about it now though, after seeing this ahahaha.

D&D you potentially can jump into, depending on your group- They can hand you a cookie cutter character and make it easy for you. FATAL not so much, haha

Hmm, maybe I'll ask my friends to help me learn then. I think one of them runs games about half the time. Only problem is they do it irl and live four hours from me now.
Thanks for the advice and everything!

Here's my basic character. I've only got 4 Silver Pieces so I guess I basically don't have jack.
If I can reserve any skill points I have, which I haven't calculated yet, I will save them for if I get a weapon. If I can't, I will put them all into any form of unarmed combat that just involves walking up to someone and raping them.
Oh, if anyone else is into the whole immediately murdering everyone for no reason idea, please chuck me a dumb blunt whack people over the head stick or something.
Which will be the very first thing I do, to whatever non-player character is closest whenever the action starts, with a preference for anyone who I can take a weapon from. This is suicidally retarded of course, but whatever.
Oh, two salient points. I'm a slave and have dementia which I rerolled something just to get. I think those have implications. Anyway if I have an owner, I immediately murder him, or alternately if he's as much of a retard as I am, join up for whatever murder spree he's going on.

We can delay things if you guys want to get more people or if you need more time or anything like that.
Otherwise, I'll make my first post around 7:00 CST.
