Hey there, fellow roleplayers of The Role Player Guild!

I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your roleplay adventures. I wanted to reach out and gauge your interest in something a bit different and exciting that I have in mind. I've been thinking about a new roleplay concept and I'm eager to share it with you all. So, without further ado, here's what I have in mind:

(Side-Note: Some roleplays may already work like this, but this will be my first time GMing one quite like this.)

Concept: Quest-Based Adventure

In this new roleplay, I'll be providing the settings, character sheet guidelines, and, a variety of thrilling missions and quests. The quests will come with specific guidelines for completion, such as character stats, special skills, and other requirements that your characters will need to meet. The best part is, I'll also lay out most of the rewards you will get for completing each quest, although there will be some surprises along the way.

How It Works:

• You'll create a level 1 character with a set of base stats. These starting stats will be the same for every player, ensuring a level playing field. However there will be starter missions available to all (1 to 3 post missions) that you can use to mold your character as you see fit. This will also give you a feel for how the leveling up / reward system works.
• Then, you'll form parties with other players to tackle more challenging quests/missions. Between everyone in your party, before you begin, you'll make sure you meet all the requirements for the chosen adventure. Then you'll begin writing, filling us in on how exactly you accomplished your goals.

Why It's Unique:

Unlike traditional roleplays, I won't be actively managing each individual quest as the Dungeon Master. This means that the roleplay won't get stuck in the middle of a quest if I happen to get too busy with real-life commitments. My role will primarily be in creating exciting new quests and building the world around them, providing you with a dynamic and ever-evolving setting for your adventures.

Within the settings described in your quest, you may do anything you like. Destroy entire environments for all I care. As long as your influence doesn't directly affect the world outside that area, it's all fair game. I'll decide after your quest comes to a conclusion, how exactly your actions may have affected the rest of the world/area around your quest's setting.

The Setting:

The world we'll be delving into is a fairly standard fantasy realm, but I'll be adding some unique twists and turns to make it more my own. So, get ready for unexpected challenges, curious mysteries, and a world ripe for exploration.

I'm really excited about this concept, and I believe it could be a lot of fun for all of us. But of course, I want to hear from you! If this idea piques your interest, or if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to share your thoughts in this thread. I'd love to know if you'd be interested in embarking on this adventure with me.

Let's make this new roleplay a fantastic and collaborative experience. Looking forward to your feedback and, hopefully, your participation in this exciting new journey!

Update: Here is the new thread. It's almost live.

1-3 starter quests where they go in solo to complete the mission, like rescuing a kitten out of a tree. they command all the NPCs, and you'll go in after the write up to see how deep the crater was? Only afterward will they work together?

Could be fun.

In short, yes. I think you get it. If you're interested in trying it out. I'll go ahead and start a thread and have it live by Sunday at the latest. I'll tag you when it's ready.

Okay, let's do this.

This sounds like a good time. Count me in.

Sounds fun, once you have your thread up and running I'll hop in

Haven't seen the thread yet....

Ah yes, I have been taking my time on it. It is technically posted, but it isn't finished. Here's what I have so far:

Hola @Expendable, @twannyman, & @rush99999!

I'm taking my time getting this RP up and running. There should be enough information there for you to start brainstorming up characters or asking questions.

This RP will likely be up and running with a decent number of missions to choose from by next week. If you have any ideas or would like to help CO-GM it, please let me know.

Thanks!

Sorry! The character I had in mind is not a mage or a warrior, so I'm re-casting.

Re-cast as you like, but there really isn't a need. If you're referring to the mission that required a fighter or battle mage, that was just an example. I haven't made any official missions yet.

What kind of character were your thinking? I could probably make some missions that would fit. They don't have to all be combat oriented.

I don't know she'll fit in with your narrative - a half-dark elf, raised by a mage (well, his housekeeper) and his man-at-arms in a sort of twisted revenge plot for being fired from his job as a court mage by the prince when he assumed the throne. On the prince's wedding night, he wound up in the wrong bed, and her mother delivered her to the mage after she was born.

This all sounds like spicy drama. I like it. But just to get the story straight:

her mother delivered her to the mage after she was born

This character's mother slept with the prince on his wedding night, carried the baby in secret, and after the baby was born, she brought it to the mage and the man-in-arms that raised it. And the baby, of course, is your character?

I think I followed, but I wanted to be sure.

Yup. And really the housekeeper (or towerkeeper?) Raised her. The Man-at-arms just trained her when she got older.

I was considering a battle junkie Arcane Pugilist. So maybe infusing his gauntlets with elemental magic, or perhaps a bit of mix between CQC and Magic

I'd be okay with your character turning out like that, but ...

All characters are going to start at level 1 with no skills or specialties. Your character's journey starts at the very beginning of their growth. They have the potential to become any type of character or class. Sure, their backstories may influence the decisions they make, which then dictates how they grow, but they don't start off with any magical items or special skills.

You can, however, obtain all the items and abilities you mentioned above by completing missions. Through doing this, you will be able to build this character from the ground up!

Cool that works, guess that also sort of write a backstory. An underground/legal cage fighter who is, initally, saving up money to go to the truth seeker but turns out he loveeees fighting

Hello!

I love the sound of this and would love to give it a go.

I do have a character in mind, but would have a a few questions in regards to character creation.

What kind of questions do you have? Also, have you visited the main thread?

Hi,

I did look at the main thread and some of my questions derive from that. If something is explained and I missed it, I apologize.

The character I'd like to play would be a half-elf (human/elf) that is studying to become a Druid. The concept is based on the D&D interpretation of a Druid, magic and changing shapes into animals. Of course I don't expect a character to start with any of those abilities and would love to work towards it in the game. I just want to make sure I match my expectations/plans with what the reality of the game would be.

Is there a detailed breakdown of the stats? Again they look identical to what D&D portrays and that's where my mind instantly goes, I just want to make sure I am on the same page.

Lastly, if the general concept for my character is acceptable I would love to work out where they could be from and why a Druid might by traveling about.

Thank you for your time!
