The Slate Region is a new Pokemon RP forum set in, obviously, the Slate Region, a large region connected by air and by sea to the other regions, but not involved directly with them. The world is still under construction, but there is enough material present that play is ready to commence whenever there are users to play.
Featuring:
- - - A full region, complete with a game-style map. While not all areas have been written up, when all the details have been decided upon we will have a full 31 routes, over ten separate cities (with the standard 8 gyms) and a host of sites along the routes to stop and visit.
- - - Staff-lead plots. The Staff is able to, and encouraged to run overall plots for the players to take part in, both on their own initiative and through player-acceptable Contracts. Once we get underway, there should be many ways to get involved with the world at large, beyond simply travelling from town to town and collecting your badges/ribbons.
- - - A well-fleshed-out system for battles, trainers and Pokemon, complete with a dice roller. If you enjoy Pokemon RP, but wish there was potential for more competition, look no further. Slate uses a simplified d20 system in order to run battles, allowing for those with a more competitive streak to fight to win -- without hurting other players' fun!
- - - The ability to use all Pokemon currently available in the game, along with (eventually) access to Move Tutors, for a full customization of your Pokemon's moves. In addition, Pokemon can have up to 7 moves, instead of 4, and can also have a separate list of HM moves (usable out of combat) so you don't have to sacrifice your offensive power for the ability to Surf.
- - - Once we get enough users, there will be a bi-monthly Pokemon League battle tournament, with the winner earning the privilege of fighting Slate's toughest of the tough: the Elite Four. The tournament will include Player on Player tournaments, hopefully exclusively once we have enough players.
- - - Currently looking for Staff. The world has not been fully fleshed out, and any staff who join before everything's finalized get to have a formative hand in shaping the world of Slate. So, if you're interested and think you're well suited to the job, we'd love to have you!
Now, that probably read like a list of features for an MMO, so let me just say: the RP is still the focus. The fact that there should always be some sort of Plot, either player or Staff-directed, is something that can't be stated more, as should the ease of getting involved with one of those plots. Myself, and the rest of the staff as positions are filled, would be completely happy to work with you to get you totally immersed. It's our job to provide you with an entertaining RP experience, right?
If I've caught your eye but you have some questions, you can reach me on YIM, as wespangalaxies@yahoo.ca, and also on Slate's IRC channel, #slateregion at irc.lunarnet.org, or on our CBox.
Thanks for your time, and I hope I've convinced you to give us a try!
