The Genre: Tales of glory is a 1940's adventure rp in the vain of two-fisted tales and diesel punk movies like Indiana Jones, The Mummy and The Rocketeer.

The Plot: An ancient Egyptian text has revealed information on a ring said to be the greatest treasure of all time. The ring of Renenutet. It is rumored to have the ability to turn any metal into gold but that remains to be proven. Despite the risk of this being a fools errand, several groups have set out on an expedition to find and retrieve the treasure. One such group is referred to only as The Company. The Company was formed by American billionaire industrialist Vincent Valencia. Mr. Valencia has allocated a very sizable chunk of funds to finding the ring and keeping it safe in his well guarded public museum and vault. He has hired numerous skilled freelancers to fly to Egypt in his customized zeppelin. It's in the world's best interest that The Company finds it before the Nazis, otherwise the tides of war will certainly shift away from our favor.

The Characters: The Company is seeking patriots, adventurers and anyone willing to do dangerous work for a lofty paycheck.

(more info on character skills will be included in the OOC)
-The Archaeologist Adventurer
-The Ace Pilot/ Mechanic
-The Street Smart Local Guide
-The Doctor

The Breakdown: I'm thinking this rp would work best with a small group. 5 characters (including myself). It seems like you guys would prefer an app process so I think we'll go that route. Basically you'll put together a mini-app for as many or as few of the characters listed above as you want, then if you're accepted you'll flesh the app out for the actual game.

Did you grow this idea in a lab just for me?

I am going to have not even kind of the time to do this, but I hope you get a ton of interest so I can join it in six months or so. :3

I know I'd personally prefer an application process, even if I do turn out not worthy of whichever position I choose . Though, it really depends more on how much traction and attention this gets, after all. You have me intrigued, I can tell you that!

+1 Application Process
Would all applicant characters have to be American?

@Naril Haha I'm glad you appreciate the genre as much as I do. Feel free to shoot me a message when you get more time.

@Vashonn That's probably the best way, I'm just terrible at saying "no".

@DeadbeatWalking Nope! In fact one of the roles will be for an Egyptian to act as the street smart guide/translator. Characters can be from anywhere as long as they have a reason to be hired to the crew.

Also I just posted a list of the available roles in the opening post, if anyone is interested in taking a peek. If this gets enough interest for me to make an OOC, I'll add more info when it goes up. :)

@PepI think you should make it an application process because yeah, you can pick and choose who you want rather than just taking whatever kind of thrown-together CS. I find this game interesting mostly because it's unique and different. All of those movies you named as inspiration were great movies. I am stuck between the ace pilot or the local guide. I see myself leaning toward local guide as I continue writing this lol. So I'll try for that.

Also remember the rule here, 10 will be interested, 5 will actually join, and 2 will write CSes. Try to get a fair amount of interest lol.

@Holy Soldier Yeah I think if there's enough interest I'll go the app route.

How would you guys feel about a mini-app just for the sake of character approval, with the option of submitting to more than one trope. For example you could submit a mini-app for the Archaeologist and the Ace Pilot. That will give me more options and improve your chance of being accepted. Then once accepted you'll flesh out the app.

In my head that seems fair, but I could be wrong. haha.

@Peplol You could give that a shot. In my opinion, if people can't fill out an advanced CS period, then they're not advanced and shouldn't be in the game but I'm a different GM-style. XD

You could always ask your applicants for sample posts, Pep.

@PepI'd definitely be interested in taking the Doctor spot. Just let me know how you would like me to apply.

I'd be tentatively interested in the pilot slot. Alot of my childhood was spent reading books about a certain British ace!

I am interested, but I don't know if I have the time to commit (due to other RPs). But King Solomons Mines is one of my favorite novels and I've basically been neck deep in Indiana Jones merch since I was like seven. So, yeah, adventure pulp is muh shit.

Keeping the torch lit!

If one or two more people show interest in this, I'll put together a detailed OOC. :)

Yeah sure. I'm curious enough about this concept to see it get developed into a proper OOC.

I've been eyeing that archaeologist adventurer. I thought this RP wasn't going to get more interest!

I think another role that could be added is "The Muscle" lol. There's always one whether it be the Egyptian bodyguard lol or another nationality.

Good Idea!

This sounds absolutely amazing. Let me know when you decide on an app format and I’ll definitely fire something in for it.

This seems really interesting, let me know when you put detailed OOC together :)
