CHECK OUT THE OOC! Jump in, no approvals necessary.
What the hell just happened? This started out as just your average happy medieval-fantasy tavern thread . . .
Character Creation
- First, choose one other character that's already been created (probably the one who posted before you), and declare your character's relationship with that character. (Brother/sister, unrequited lovers, assassin/target, wizard/golem, etc.)
- Or, of course, create your own, as long as it's simple and concise.
- It'd probably be best for players to discuss this OOC first.
- Then, choose your character's Need from a list (To be a hero, to crush your enemies, to amass a hoard, etc.)
- Or, again, create your own, as long as it's simple and concise.
- Choose an object (a flaming sword, a catapult, a demonic summoning spell, a cask of 800-year-old dwarven booze)
- Or . . . you know the drill.
- Describe your character in few words: appearance, personality, etc. Leave out the backstory for now: another player may come along with a cool idea for a relationship.
This character creation style (and the lists involved) is mostly ripped from Fiasco: Dragon Slayers. (which is a pretty fun thing)
EXAMPLE
Name: Susan Frogkin
Needs: To rule an army of undead
Object: A big-ass iron warhammer
Relationship with [insert character name]: Former cellmates
Although the character sheet is miniscule, players should strive for narrative, development and interaction in the IC.
The character sheet should (theoretically) develop as the character is played. Your Need is the goal you must attain using the other characters at the inn. Your character knows at least two other characters, for better or for worse.
As GM, my role would be to keep a clear and understandable environment -- as well as the occasional NPC as needed.
Gameplay
You're in a medieval tavern. Since the start of this RP, things have snowballed just a bit. The tavern might have burned down. It also might have been overrun by zombies. But still -- just your average tavern thread, right?
