Alright, in this forum, we have karma points, as you all have seen.
Well, what are we going to do with them? Give like 9,000,000 to each person? Give them to the homeless? Throw them at babies?
No.
Jeff had an idea to use them as a sort of "currency," and acquire thing with them. And we think this is an awsome idea.
So, without further ado,
THE KARMA SHOP.
Basically, you can buy things on the site with your karma points for your character. Simply message Werdmath with what you want to buy, and he will take your karma, and add the item to your karma equipment! You can equip and unequip items to you character as long as that character is NOT in a campaign. You can gain karma points by getting exalted, or during campaigns, at certain points. We hope this will get more people into roleplaying.
BEWARE: If we find out that you are creating multiple accounts to gain more karma, we will suspend your account first. If you do it again, it's a one week ban. Again, and you are PERMANENTLY BANNED. If you create another account and do it again, we will BAN your I.P., BAN your character, and make sure people all over the world will know of what a douchebag you are.
This shop will open in the next few days, after we get set aside, and will be posted in the Karma Shop section in the General catagory. Be patient, and don't worry about us starting Drew's campaign early. You will have a chance to buy things before the campaign starts.

first off, most people already have tons of karma. Additionally i believe there should be some table for us to go by that gives examples of what we can buy. and lastly, we should be able to purchase things while in game as well. It makes sense that you could in theory get better while playing. You may out of context get some knowlege on how to fight better (+1 to attack). Some things will need to be approved of course, or at least pended for later. All of the sudden insight seeps into your brain giving you a bonus to combat while contending with an evil liche is feasable, having a +3 keen vorpal rapier suddenly apear in your hand is not ( which doesn't meen you can't find one lieing around while out of quest).
most importantly, we must all talk this out to find a balanced way to do this.

I like the insight bonus idea. But I'm with Tim in the fact that karmic equipment should be purchsed before a campaign. A problem I see is karma hordeing (sp). People use their karma on games but one player is stingy and hordes. Many games later those who were using their points get equipment and then the horder unloads his point creating an uber-character that unbalances the game.
For this I propose to the administrators two (2) solutions. One karma limits: probably the easiest thing to do is have a DM set limits on the amount of karma one is capable of spending. Or two: a karma equipment pool. This one is iffy at best, but a character could be allowed to "carryover" equipment he spent points on and upgrade it with other points. This wouldn't harm a long term player but may leave newer players disadvantaged.
well that's my two-cents

The thing Nick and I talked about was that the person DM'ing for the characters campaign had full dictatorship over Karma Item Usage and Spending. I believe that players should only be allowed to buy Karma Items from this person as well.
Also, for your keen insight and overall postmanship,
*ULTRA-GUNDAM KARMA POINT PLUS HAPPY FUN TIME*
+10 Karma
