Alpha Omega Forum

Open RPOL game.

2012-04-27T22:49:51-05:00

Hey all.

I don’t know how many dedicated AO players are left, but if anyone is interested, I’m running a small introductory game online.

Don’t be expecting a work of genius or anything, as this is my first online game.

Create an account and send a player request (or private message) on Rpol if interested.

Toodles.

Here I thought the game was dead

Greetings from the Lab!

We’ve been quiet but…

Since its creation, we always envisioned Alpha Omega expanding to mediums beyond table top RPG’ng. For the past year we have been working hard behind the scenes to make this happen.

The next evolution of Alpha Omega will take it beyond the game table and expose a wide audience to the AO universe. As you know from your own adventures the world of Alpha Omega is vast with limitless storytelling opportunities. Where Alpha Omega is going next will allow us to tell the AO story on a much bigger canvas.

We hope you will hang on for the ride and in the meantime enjoy the world you helped create, expand your gaming group, invite your friends and spread the word.

There has never been a better time to explore the AO universe.

Guess not just no longer supported.

Anything new?

2012-01-16T01:56:35-05:00

Love the setting. Love the rule set, even if it is super crunchy. But, when is new stuff coming out?

I mean the forums are still up and the main page is as well, so I assume that mean MSL is still in business, but come on, we need some news. Good or bad, we’re grown ups we can take it.

GENCON 2012

2012-04-16T12:40:42-05:00

So, I talked to KainSolo to see if AO would be run at GENCON this year (2012) He said he hasen’t heard anything yet. Does anyone know is the Living (Campaign) modules will be run this year, or whats going on? I know I’d LOVE to be able to bring my character back for some more campaign fun especially if KainSolo is running.

Sincerely

Paladin

Virtual/Augmented Reality

2012-01-09T04:28:45-05:00

For those that are willing to tackle this, I have several questions regarding virtual/augmented reality?

1) What distinguishes virtual from augmented reality?
2) Is this reality handled in a similar fashion to the virtual world found in the Matrix movies?
3) Is question 2 ultimately the GM’s decision on how handle the virtual world?

I ask because the virtual world will factor heavily in my next campaign and I want to understand it well enough that I can answer any player questions and handle any curve balls (wanting to be a virtual god) the players will throw at me.

Earl the Grey

2011-12-08T08:41:48-05:00

The streets are deceptively sleepy at night. Casual inspection shows the occasional street urchin and a few homeless scavenging for anything to help them survive the next 24 hours. However, the dark corners of this fair city pulsate to their own subdued heartbeat, and there is activity aplenty if you know where to look. There is no long term planning when you live on the streets, it’s all about lasting another night and getting out of sight before the day begins so you don’t offend the delicate sensibilities of the day walkers. Don’t get me wrong, the day walkers are not a direct threat to the night walkers, they just get distraught when coming face to face with the seedy underbelly of what their precious “city” looks like when the lights go out. And the threat they pose is by calling in the authorities, those who enforce some arbitrary rules placed on society… without really understanding society at it’s core.

I walk that thin grey line between the day and the night. I see the hustle and bustle of the daytime society. I am part of that “scene” and I interact with those who only see the city in it’s bright moments; when the sun shines, the towers gleam and the people walk about in their finery. Here, in this world, I am Konrad Killian, the guy you come to when you need something found or something done in a less than savory manner.

At night, and in the dark corners of the day, I am called Earl the Grey. A street name that conjures images of a ghostly character who navigates the questionable portions of the city. Blending, moving, disappearing as needed. The grey, not part of the day or the night, but the twilight glimmer of hope that joins both worlds.

Welcome to Alpha Omega my friends, let me be your guide to things both fantastical and unimaginable.

Flamethrower Ammunition

2009-09-21T18:16:47-05:00

Forgive me if i missed it (it’s late here and we’re finishing up the Character Creation process), but i cannot seem to find any flamethrower ammunition. If this is incorrect, could someone direct me to said fuel? Thank you.

Field Ranks

2011-11-14T15:20:32-05:00

I did a search of the forums but came up with no clear answer. According to the book, you need 10 challenging uses of a Field’s Skills before you can buy ranks in it. This has the side effect of making all Field training time and Trust free. Is this the intention, or is the discount only applied to challenging uses over the minimum of 10?
