The title really said it all... I've been thinking about an RP set in the Slay the Spire setting. The only things I'd say we change are that we don't have to be one of the four canon characters, we can be whoever we want to be!

There wouldn't the roguelike aspect, or the cards. It'd purely be a small group adventure to the top of the Spire. Our heroes will have been trapped within the Spire for centuries in an endless loop to try and reach the top. Try as they might, they've never managed to truly escape. They thought they were alone with their curse, but Neow has called for a shift in the Spire's rules, and he has brought together our heroes to tackle the Spire together.

Our heroes would start with the usual amnesia upon waking up in the hellish depths of the Spire before the Great Neow. As always, he would remind them of their curse, their challenge, and send them on their way. The only memories they have are the skills they've mastered over the hundreds of years of repetition. It is muscle memory, a constant nagging in the back of their minds that tells them that they've done this countless times before. Yet they cannot remember.

I'm thinking of a group of 4 players. Would anyone else be interested in such an idea? We could retain the quirkiness of the original Slay the Spire, or we could add a level of horror and darkness to it which would really nail the grim situation our heroes find themselves in. Perhaps we could find a strange blend, where insanity has found a strange order within the Spire.

@Whoami Sure I'll throw my hat into this I like the premise.

This seems really cool. Color me interested!

I am Dog. Hello. I would like to join.

So, our whole end-goal is getting up that spire?

Have you played the game or know what it is? We're basically doing that, but in roleplay form.

@Whoami Do I have to be familiar with the game to play?

I saw gameplay before, but I don't know much about its lore.

There isn't really much lore in the game aside from what is drip fed to you by the setting. There isn't so much that would require any prior knowledge, as I'm gonna be ad libbing a lot of it to make a cohesive story.

But the premise isn't going to be super complicated, and the character sheets aren't going to need to be absurdly detailed. Essentially just gonna end up needing a picture, a name, a personality, and their sort of class archetype. I'll put up a template later today.

So will this mainly be a combat-orientated RP?

Well there will undoubtedly be combat in it. But I kind of want to explore the moments in between to, covering the strangeness of the Spire, its denizens, and the eldritch workings of the place.

@Whoami I am quite the very excited.

Here is the character template. I have it in an code version so you can copy paste the format and replace all sections wrapped in dashes (--like so--)

CS TEMPLATE [+]

--CHARACTER NAME, TITLE-- [+]

[color=--COLOR--]

--CHARACTER NAME HERE--

--CHARACTER TITLE HERE--

[/color]
[color=--COLOR--]Character Archetype[/color]
--What role your character fills. Are they a warrior archetype, or some version of a warrior. This is essentially their class.--

[color=--COLOR--]Personality[/color]
--What personality does your character tend to naturally adopt the most among their many resurrections?--

[color=--COLOR--]Blessings[/color]
--Does your character have some sort of divine or otherworldly force that benefits them? Try to keep this reasonable and not overpowered.--

[color=--COLOR--]Curses[/color]
--Does your character have some sort of unholy or eldritch force that detriments them? Like blessings, these are optional. Don't feel the need to make curses absolutely cripple your character... Unless that's what you're going for...--

[color=--COLOR--]Relics[/color]
--Has your character resurrected with a powerful artifact? Relics will be acquired as the RP continues, but I am willing to allow a maximum of one starting relic. Once again, this is optional, and I was ask that if you do take a relic to start, that it isn't overpowered or unreasonable. Try to justify why your character would have this relic upon being resurrected, even if they might not remember why they have it.--

[color=--COLOR--]Gold[/color]
--50-150-- (delete this -->)Your current gold is reflected here as merchants and other denizens of the Spire might be willing to trade with you(<--delete this)

Yup that's the one :P

@Whoami I'm thinking I'll play something along the lines of a nimble thief who aspired to be a treasure hunter in life.

I'll get it done tonight.

Oh boy, can't wait to go murdering.

@Dog !! MURDER HOBO ALERT !! MURDER HOBO ALERT !!
