Hey folks. Please put any ideas or sugestions you might have here.

The way I see this going is that because this is not the game world the enemy keepers wield forces that potentially number in the hundreds, correct?  Ranma has no hope of ever facing one on one odds, and is given his personality I wouldn't expect him to want to have hundreds of minions whose names he doesn't even know. 

Thus he is going to try and increase the quality of his troops as much as he can.  This includes such things as getting better fitting armor for his rookie black knight(not quality like Hed's, rather a simple servicable set).  Training up his troops in small unit tactics as well as weapons training, as Ranma must have at least some knowledge of weapons use.  These each give an edge, but only a minor one.   To really grant the qualitative edge he needs to balance their quantitative he needs innovative ideas. 

I like the idea of a "caster", the type in Outlaw Star.  The "caster" is a gun that fires bullets that carry an enchantment, and certain types pack serious firepower.  Ranma doesn't need it to be a gun though, enchanting the arrows to carry spells like lightning or fireball in advance of the need allows you to in essence store up spells against future need.  Even though this hasn't actually changed your raw power at all, when the battle starts your foes suddenly face a rain of attack spells of an intensity that should be flat out impossible for any spellcaster, even a keeper, to manage.  This could have not only tremendous damage potential physically, but also to morale.  Who wants to charge forward next when the first wave was completely obliterated in a rain of fireballs with not a single soldiers able to even strike a blow.

No Psyckosama, no updates.

He's apparently been on one of his sabbaticals. Maybe he'll come back to this, maybe he won't.

We'll see.

Silence has fallen, have some respect for its passing.

There aren't any other people who post. For a while this has been damned near a one man show... >_<

I was introduced to this story via a link from Spacebattles.com.  Please continue the story, as it is turning out very interesting and fun.

One stunt for the three armies attacking is using smoke cloud spells so that they mostly fight each other, with Ranma's forces only dealing with the leakers.   By the time the main forces consolidate, the Overworld forces attack, and damage the rear units badly enough to force them to retreat.  One scene where the wanna-be Black Knight is cornered by 3 Bile Demons, he says that he has been trained by a Reaper, and attacks.  With better training and no fear, he can drive them back, but larger numbers mean he cannot win.

Of course, this still leaves the Keepers with their Hearts still intact, meaning they still have a power base, and will plan their next attack much better.  Zeldon will have watched the attacks, and his plans will be much deeper.  Maybe one of his daughters will seduce and mind-control Ranma, and she slowly comes in control of his Dungeon.  The concubines (and Reaper?) have to rescue him from the mind control before they too are bound with tattoos of slavery.  If Ranma manages to free the Paladin, she would make an interesting warrior, not a harem type.  Depending on how the Black Knight turns out, those two could hook up.

You could even have Ranma setting up a kind of 'truce' with the Overworld, where Ranma allows people to have their darker emotions allowed out, but if someone wants to leave, they are also free to go.  No more slave raids, and anyone who wants to go home to their families is free to do so.  The Overworld gets a place where people can indulge in darker emotions (and see the results), no more slave raids, and several missing people are returned home.

I'm back and hopefully will remain... if reality doesn't start kicking me between the legs again
