Custom Made d6 system for Digimon [GM Seeks Players/Playtesters] Newcomer Friendly

Noice. Love it. Definitely have my eyes on this one. OUO

To a New World

Observers, that is what we are. When we enter into a new world, our perspective is either too great or too small, making it more difficult for an organic experience. To fix that, why not be creators as well?

This RP will be a little bit different in that you, the player, will also be included in the world building. That way, a better understanding of people, flora, fauna, physical laws, relationships, etc. in the world can be reached. However, you won't have limitless creative powers. First of all, an agreement on the general setting must be made. Once we establish a few (or a lot) of the larger facts, you will then build the setting(s) that your character grows up in. Twist is that you won't know everything about what other players have written about their locations depending on the level of communication in the IC world. You'll know what your characters know and you won't know what your characters don't know. Once we've established characters, settings, and miscellaneous baubles, it's onto the RP.

Happy RPing!

Ineloquent Premature Answerings and Concerns

1. I will be the GM, but I will most likely need a Co-GM as well. Both GMs will only be able to participate in the world building and will not be able to make characters. However, the GMs will know everything and have the benefit of knowing the dramatic irony.
2. We will be using mediums other than the ol' RP Guild. In fact, we might not use it often. Google docs will most likely be employed. Be sure to use an alt email for privacy concerns.
3. It will be tempting, but don't share any information unless your characters are somewhat close by each other. You can share any information OOC to speed things up (use Messenger, the Roleplaying Guild Mail, email, carrier pigeon, etc.), but any IC information shared will be shared IC. (I'll try to explain this more later).
4. One character per player, with possible exceptions (but don't go crazy). If death comes along, you can create a new one. (We'll iron out the kinks on death later)
5. Travelling characters that know the world are more than welcomed. However, be warned that you won't be able to make any too detailed world building if your character doesn't stay in one place too long and has impressions based on rumors and small talk.
6. Once individual character's settings are made, the GMs will fill in the blanks from there. There will be a post gap, unfortunately, while the GMs are creating a more cohesive setting. We will try to be as respectful as possible to you the player's original material.
7. This RP will be on the more experimental side. As such, the RP won't be perfect.
8. At the absolute max, I'll be accepting eight players, and even that's a little bit of a stretch.

The bard decidedly did not look back when he disappeared into the crowd. As he continued to walk through the somewhat busy traffic, he found himself thinking about the scene he'd witnessed earlier. The face of a butcher, the woman, George knew that face from somewhere earlier in the day, but he couldn't fully recall it. After stuffing the entire layout of the city inside of his head, some of the memories from the morning were buried under the myriad of mental maps and possible escape routes. George brushed it off. He'd remember later. Anyways, it was much more important for him to create a story than try to remember a single face of a criminal. In addition, He'd never found it savory to rat out those involved in the creation of a great story.

His stomach growled.

"About time to get some lunch, but a snack on the way couldn't hurt," George thought to himself. After reaching back into the pack tied to his back, he procured a small, half-bitten dried root and chomped a small piece of it. Unlike most of the other roots, this one was rather ordinary. It is rather tasty, however, and is good substitute for meat in a stew. George wormed his hand back into the bundle to place the root back and continued to walk while loudly munching on the root.

in his recollection, George heard a particularly popular tavern in this area renown for their exotic meats. After walking in that general direction, George finally found the tavern and opened the door. An awash of aromatic, meady, savory smells spilled out of the gates. No wonder why this place is so popular amongst the townsfolk. Just by smelling the meat George could ascertain the quality and value of the meats. He walked into the amber glowed room which housed a couple dozen tables and chairs that were packed with travelers. Notable was the bar, the array of smaller kegs and the door frame next to it, and the stage set prominently at the end of the somewhat short tavern. George sat down by the onto a round seat and looked at the bar tender, smiling.

"What fine meats do you carry? George asked in his usual aloof manner.

"Cow, mutton, pig, raccoon and venison. The common meats are 3 silver each. The raccoon is 4 silver. The venison 6." The bartender replied. George nodded. Then with a dramatic gesture, he pretentiously positioned himself to make a request

"If you may listen, can I interest you in a bargain for the raccoon?" The bartender gave George a dead-pan look. He was listening.

"I am a bard, and as you can see, one who is not afraid to play the fool. For a night's pantomime, I would request to barter for a venison, some coin, and a majority of the proceeds from the performances." The bartender looked at George plainly.

"Even split of the proceeds," the bartender pushed.

"Seven eighths"

"Three fifths."

"Four fifths"

"Five eigths," George pretended to have a moment of thinking and began slightly nodding. In the bartender's eyes, he could see a spark of joy in the bar tender's eyes.

Nonchalantly, George calmly said, "Seven tenths."

"Two thirds." George held out his hand and grinned widely.

"Deal." The two shook on it. Afterward, the bartender pointed towards stage. George nodded, stood up, and placed himself onto the stage. Nobody paid attention to him. After unwinding the tightly bound pack and the attached lute on the floor, he took out a decently sized pipe and a bard's hat. From the ground, George stood up and faced the preoccupied audience. With a deep breath, George began softly on his pipe, but gradually, he was louder and louder. Although not perfect, the sweet music of his pipe whistled throughout the entire tavern and created a cheerier haze within the room. Soon, after through a few traditional tunes and some of his own compositions, it would be the lute and stories that would be next.

George scuffled through the alley ways, taking turns this way and that with backtracking to get a better feel of the layout. On occasion, he would immediately exit the alleys and explore the main roads simply because something didn't "feel right." On others, he would scale up the walls in secluded areas and take in the overhead view simply out of whimsy. He didn't always know why his intuition worked the way it did, but his hyperactive gut was, after all, trained in both city and forest. Eventually, in about an hour or two that George couldn't track, he'd gotten a full grasp of the city, confident that he could make a dashing escape if things ever got too hairy. He jumped off a couple of crates and began walking off towards the main street before he heard a drunken voice beyond a corner just behind George.

"Alright, y'know th' drill. 'And over all yer coin, else I'll stick ya wif' ol' betsy."

@Overlord Thraka

Another poor soul getting mugged in the street.

"Do 'as 'e said."

@Overlord Thraka

"Ah, a twosome I see," George thought. However, before he could take a step towards the alley's exit, something peaked his interest. A single, granular word spoken by a strangely feminine voice.

"No."

@Overlord Thraka

Once those words reached George's ears, the grinding of stone beneath foot and the surprised grunts of two men travelled through the alley way. Carefully, George looked into the alley way and saw the lightning fast exchange that was occurring. Though, it was more of a butchering than an exchange. The man err... woman (George couldn't tell at that moment) moved like both like a snake and a bear, precisely dodging the attacks of the thugs while delivering skull smashing blows in retaliation. Although George was somewhat excited to have a new tale right in front of him, his stomach churned a little at the continued carnage the clear winner was giving. By the end of it, the person's boot was dug deep into the skull of the larger man, and a sizable puddle of mixed blood expanded to reach the walls of the cramped alley space. George raised his eyebrows while rapidly blinking his eyebrows. Mid-blinking, he jolted away from the corner and ran towards the main street without a sound. He never ignored his instincts when they began screaming.

A little bit into the past, moments after George turned away from the corner, Mergoux looked in both directions of the alley way to ensure that there were no onlookers at that moment.

Also, if it's fine with you @Overlord Thraka, I'd like upload a post that takes into account my character's slight retcon and the beating Mergoux gave those thugs.

@Lucius Cypher I finished retconning my previous entries. I had to change my first post and my most recent post since George wouldn't be sleeping in the rooftops in the morning. If there's anything wrong, I'll change them back to the originals (or close to them at least since I forgot to back them up).

@Lucius Cypher
Hmm... I'm a little bit confused about the time. When I first jumped in, was it supposed to be morning for most of the characters? I can change a bit of my previous post if that's the case.

@Haeo Wonderful! Even though babies may demand everything from you (with the most annoying crying ever), they'll always be the starlight in your eyes! Congrats!

Blessings to you and your new family. :D

Hmm... are you able to see on the doc? Also, are there any connectivity issues?
