The Wizards Tower
"It has been standing there for over five centuries. Everybody that went in, never came out. It doesn't look like much, but rumors have it that it's a lot bigger from the inside. Illusions, traps and other dangers await those who enter, but it is said that the prize at the end is worth it! You ask what I'm talking about? You must be new here. I'm talking about the Wizards Tower in the Drangazi Mountains of course!
This roleplay puts five players (including me) in the Wizard tower of the Drangazi Mountains. There they will have to overcome many challenges and will probably bash each others face in on more then one occasion.
Now, you might think that this isn't something special, or even advanced. And you would be completely right by that! What makes it special and advanced is the fact that we will be using our own voices to give our character a voice. Voice acting in forum Roleplay is the idea.
So why a dank tower you might ask? The players need to interact with each other to really get their speech flowing. What more fun is there to vent frustration with your own voice because the dwarf knocked over a candle holder for the hundreds time? It also gives the players a lot of NPC's to work with because of illusions and such.
The website that we will be using is http://vocaroo.com/.
While you can directly record on there, I recommend downloading a program called Audacity. It's free and let's you manipulate your recording in many different ways.
When it's all put together, it should look something like this:
Yoran enters the room and his mouth falls open in awe. The room was huge and that might still be an understatement. "Bloody hell. This looks amazing," he mutters to himself.
This is my preferred style of doing it. If you'd prefer something else, do not hesitate to pitch it to the group.
Now, for your characters. This is a high-fantasy setting. Any race you can come up with is allowed to be used. (to a certain extent of course). The idea is that this group has been hired by an unknown figure to explore the Wizards Tower and find it's riches. The payment was in advance and was quite substantial. The letter accompanying it just said to go to the Wizards Tower and wait for a everybody else before entering.
Your character can be many things. A doctor, a wizard himself, a scholar, a fighter, etc. All skills are handy in an unknown space.
That is all I believe... Seems like it. So, let our voices be heard I'd say!
