What's new
Ninpocho Chronicles

Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.

Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.

Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.

The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.

This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

Current Ninpocho Chronicles Time:

So unless you've been under a rock you might have heard/seen that this month is NC's 11th year Anniversary. And the actual date of the Ninpocho name registration was in fact TODAY the 23rd of April.
11 years, man, that's crazy. 11 years, that's almost an entire generation of people on one site alone, some have been with us through the whole experience, starting right there at the bottom with Shane and the others.
These days some might say it's a completely different site, a completely different experience, one for the better, I hope.

A lot of changes have come, especially recently.
And while I understand some might not appreciate some of these changes I hope you will at the very least tolerate their existence.

While the Dev team is hard at work on system revamps which come every so often, at different teams they are working on so many more different things, cool neat little things that has the hopes and dreams of making the experience here on NC that much cooler or brighter, ways to better the flow of Roleplay, things that help smooth things within the writing experience, information better provided and hopefully lots more fun.

I can say frankly that I'm pleased with where NC is at the moment, and as I look forward I see a lot of happy faces, people helping in their own little way, be the newcomer going through the Academy classes pushing their superiors to do threads with them, or be it the older players interacting and having fun with players, engaging everyone in great plots and missions, it's purely amazing to see so many talents in use on one site, where we roleplay as ninjas.

    Our very own Shinrya Kitsune has been working hard on a bunch of new themes for NC.
    And while we aren't going to make any of them a primary/default we still believe they should be worthy additions to the arsenal of the site.
    So we welcome three new themes "Green" "Purple" and "Blue"
    These three themes can easily be chosen within your Control Panel, and then Board Preferences, and then in the dropdown menu there.

    The great part about these themes is that they are MOBILE FRIENDLY
    So if you're browsing NC a lot on your phone or your tablet we recommend switching to those themes.

    With that in mind, I will pinpoint that we will continue to try and build and optmize CA Vintage as the people request and as time progresses we hope to make CA vintage more mobile friendly.
    In the meantime we're still also working on a black theme for those wanting to ease their eyes in the dim of night.

    ANOTHER PROJECT
    Which a bunch of very active players have been working with me on is none other than an official WIKI.
    Yup, an actual in-server wiki directly linked within the site.
    The idea is to have a certain location where all the happenings of the site can be written down, plots can be updated and major characters and clans can be written up in there.

    The Councils of all villages are currently working on editing their individual pages, adding plotlines, history and all of their individual information in there.
    I can say that the whole thing already looks amazing. A great project for any site with as much lore and history as NC.

    The wiki will be made public tomorrow as the Councils continue to work on it.
    The location of the wiki will be the same as the current "New Player Guide" as the Wiki contains the exact same information. And some more.. Lots.. Lots more!

    GUNS
    Their back, well, they never really did leave, only left the building for some grocery for a bit.
    And they have returned with some clarifications.

    Please read the following Spoiler for details on the clarifications on guns.
    Guns have been a historic taboo since the inception of the site, this was due to the fact that many players and staff persons had different visions regarding how guns should be handled on the site. For years players have requested that guns be added to the site to enhance their role-play experience. This administration has decided to abolish this taboo in the hopes that the player base can be mature about using guns in this RP setting. Every type of gun will not be allowed because some types of guns conflict with our RP setting too much and we as an administration feel that their presence would harm the site more than improve it.

    Guns that Can Be Used:

    Weapons that will not be allowed include:

    To answer some questions that players have had before regarding these limitations please refer below:

    Isn't a Revolver a Semi-Automatic Weapon?
    • A double-action revolver also requires only a trigger pull for each round that is fired but is not considered semi-automatic since the manual action of pulling the trigger is what advances the cylinder, not the energy of the preceding shot. [LINK]

    Your List States You Can Have Rifles, Can I Have A Semi-Automatic Rifle?
    • A semi-automatic weapon is a weapon-type we are not going to allow on NC and remain taboo. There are many other ways you can cycle to your next shot without doing so manually (like you would for an old fashioned musket for example) such as pump-action, bolt-action, or lever-action firearms.

    I Know Next to Nothing About Guns But I Want to Use One Without Breaking The Rules. HELP!
    • Just contact any Admin or Council-person and they will point you in the right direction.

    Rifles and Shotguns are the Same Thing!
    • No they are not, the following link gives a fine example of the differences between the two in brief terms LINK

    What About Really Old Weapons Like Muskets?
    • Yes, you can have a musket if you want. You can have a blunderbuss, derringer, pepper-box or an arquebus as well. As long as it is not a semi-automatic weapon, a laser or an automatic weapon we will probably say OK, just ask an Administrator before you apply if you have an unusual weapon that is not listed here. We as a team could not list every possible scenario so we made an effort rather to give you as a player a list of some of the more common weapon choices someone wishing to use a gun will make.

    *** The allowance of guns is purely aesthetic for players that do wish to use guns rather than bows, in the end there will be no mechanical difference between guns or bows in our battle system, meaning that guns will be considered RANGED WEAPONS.***​

So I hope you'll all have a drink with me, and celebrate tonight. (NC does not advocate the digestion or consumption of any alcoholic beverage - please drink responsibly)
For NC is now officially 11 year old, soon he'll be entering the teens and we'll all be driven to hell and back as worried parents.
