Guildfall: The Darkness


Imagine if RolePlayerGuild was a large mega-city. Picture the different sections of the site as sections within that city. Now imagine that the Guildfall event at the beginning of the year was a series of disasters that has left RPG crippled and on the brink of annihilation. A virus outbreak, earthquakes, an ominous Black Fog and the appearance of a dark, Sentient Ooze. All of these things have caused untold amounts of chaos and destruction within the once-thriving city. However, on top of all this, Mahz, the esteemed and revered leader of the city, has gone missing without a trace. Now, trapped within the place that they used to call home, survivors have been forced to defend themselves by fortifying the Casual & Advanced Sections of the city. Most of the other sections are either blocked off or uninhabitable, whilst the remaining few are too dangerous to survive in. What could have caused these sudden destructive happenings? Who could be behind it? And what is the reason for this attack on a city many have come to love?

Play As Yourself! That's right. In this RP, you can decide whether you want to role play with yourself as the character.

RPG Welcomes All! RolePlayerGuild is home to many people all over the globe of all colours, shapes and sizes. With that in mind, your character can be from any race you'd like. Be it a Demon, Fairy, Anthro, Vampire or any other race you can think of! (Gods/Demi-Gods excluded)

Play As Your Friends! Providing you gain their permission first, feel free to create a character sheet based on any of your friends who have joined the site or even introduce them as NPCs. Who knows, maybe they'll even join up themselves?

Freeform Sandbox-Style Play! Take charge of your own actions within the city. March forth into the Free Section to fight the infected hordes. Prove yourself as a fighter by entering the Arena Section and take part in the eternal battle that rages on between members. Attempt to discover the secrets behind the Sentient Ooze or the cause of the Black Fog. Or you could even venture down into one of the many vast chasms caused by the earthquakes, who knows what you'll find down there?

Missions & Quests! Missions and Quests will handed out by myself for you to complete in order to advance the story. Only once a number of missions have been completed will the story then progress, helping to make sure that nobody gets left behind. (Creation of your own side-missions is possible, provided they are accepted by a GM first)

PvE & PvP! Within the remaining sections of the city, you will find many opportunities to do battle against the NPCs that threaten your continued survival or amongst yourselves. The Arena Section of the city is specifically PvP-based with the only way out being death. (PvE missions set within the Arena Section are the only exclusion to the No Exit Rule)

GM/Assistant Spots Available! I'm hoping to make this RP quite extensive, meaning I'll need help to run it. I am looking for a Co-GM and at least 2 Assistant Mods to help with the smooth running of this RP. Please PM me if you wish to apply. (Prior experience preferred but not required)

Always Open! If all goes well, then new players should be able to join at any time and easily pick up the plot at the same point as everyone else. It is my wish that always being Open will encourage a healthy amount of players to take part in this harrowing tale, based on the Guild's real life experience.

Hilarious and interesting! The potential for certain members to make cameos is tempting enough for me to want to keep my eye on this one! What other plans did you have in mind?

Hey! It's great to see that this has some interest. I've just got back from a surprise birthday trip away so I apologise for the minor absence.

As for plans, the main idea is to have players explore the accessible parts city on their own primarily. I will write up missions that will initially ask the questions such as: What is the cause of the Black Fog? What is even down inside those chasms? Who is enforcing the No Exit Rule for the Arena?
However, as players, it will be your ideas that progress the mission on. So communication will be a key part of this RP.

There will be some missions with more concrete goals and clear paths on how to achieve them but I hope to have those rather few and far between. These missions will be say...re-opening a blocked off section. Which will then bring all new problems and missions and a new part of the city for you to describe.

Once you have completed a sufficient number of missions I will write a World Post. Which is something that will effect the city and draw attention to certain parts of the city, asking more questions and giving others the urge to go and explore.

Finally, I've been toying around with the idea of a level system. Nothing too hectic, it's as basic as Casual, High Casual, Advanced, Veteran, Mod, Admin. These levels will improve your standing and renown throughout the RP, allowing you to do and know more. The higher your level the more dangerous, but important, your missions will be and the more information your character will be given in World Posts. I haven't yet decided whether to implement this so level progression hasn't been decided either.

Glad to hear it! I'll begin writing up the OOC. Hopefully I'll get it posted tonight.

If any of you are interested in the Co-GM or Mods positions, please let me know. ^^
