[OOC] Freeform Fantasy Roleplay (Anybody can just jump in.)

[Assallya]

*grins* It's not your fault. These things happen. I've never once seen a freeform thread ever make it out of the tavern without some form of confrontation.

Now, you throw dice at people and they lose control. Then there's the very real possibility of failure or even death and suddenly everybody becomes respectful of conflict.

Heck, you want to try something really special. Try playing a tabletop game where death is permanent and you aren't issued a new character when you perish. That is absolutely terrifying and as a result damn intoxicatingly engrossing.

The fun of free form haha. I think after this confrontation we should be able to pretty easily band together. :)

[Infamous Empath]

@Assallya That's the best kind of game. i included a Jenga tower. if the tower falls, whoever pulled the last piece dies (in a normal d20 campaign). or loses their mind (in the one set in hell). or is caught by the guards (in the one set in paradise where they cant die).

Hey, yeah I don't mean to railroad or anything but I have to admit that my original plan has kind of gone awry. Originally I was hoping that all of our characters would meet in the tavern and become something of a party. The Mad Jester was originally just meant to be a villain for Hrothgar to feud with, a goal for him to pursue after. Anyways my point is that our characters should probably all meet and we should all probably get out of the tavern and do stuff. The Mad God and the Jester as well as the Infamous should make good villains, so that's fine but we need to do other stuff too. This is the first role play I've game mastered in years and I am enjoying it but I've made a few mistakes.

@aspie3000

If you want everyone to band together, Alice could end up on either side. If she's captured by the party instead of killed, she'd be forced to work with them and that could be pretty fun to play out, or she could escape and be a villain too.

[Infamous Empath]

The Infamous is a power-player; regardless which side he joins (he can "pretend" to be on either side), ultimately, his goal is to control everything. However, its been several years since he hasnt had any superpowers so if they were ALL taken from him, he could become quite the team player all of a sudden (after some complaining and lashing out of course)

@aspie3000

Added a little character to the character sheet and included the spells Caligate knows.

[aspie3000]

@Vesuvius00 Actually, I like that idea. Hrothgar probably won't know exactly where the Ghosts Deep cave is deep in the black forest, he might need her alive to show him the way. Also, I have a way of beating your character in a fight which doesn't make her look like she's weaker than mine.

[aspie3000]

Also, villains don't really have to join the party if they don't want to. I just meant that the characters that make sense to join should. Someone like the Infamous for example doesn't make sense to join unless it's against his will or there's something in it for him.

[Infamous Empath]

exactly, so if Loki took all his powers away (his minor half a dozen non-combat powers), that might make The Infamous want to join the group to fight him. I've already RPed out his entire life to his death(s) before, so there wont be any out-of-character behavior for him because I know where his final destination is. I just thought it would be cool to have him lose everything :P

[aspie3000]

@Infamous Empath Okay, I'll have Loki take his powers and cast him out of the cave in my next post. Where do you want me to drop him?

[GingerBoi123]

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! This seems fun! I have a sort of thief/rogue idea who has an idea of what morals are. Mostly

[Infamous Empath]

well he is used to hell so... do your worst :P @aspie3000

[GingerBoi123]

So, do we not need a CS? Is that what I'm getting from this?

[Infamous Empath]

no CS is needed. just jump in.

[Jd524]

Nope, you can just join in. I don't think it's necessary to put one up, you can if you would like to though. :)

[GingerBoi123]

@Jd524I think I'll do a picture :)

[GingerBoi123]

Can anyone give me a brief synopsis of what's happened so far if that's alright? Maybe a pointer on where to jump in?

[GingerBoi123]

This okay for my character?

Raven

[aspie3000]

@GingerBoi123 Yes, it's fine.

[GingerBoi123]

@aspie3000Cool thanks! So, any idea on where to jump in? I'm not sure what's going on right now. Lol
