~ Winds Of Fate - A Thief's Adventure ~ (1.0)

I've added a few more places of interest on the zero post of the IC board, and still adding a few NPC's to the zero post on the character's board as well.

There will be several NPC's that you can use as a bit of origin or siding faction for your character, which you may be acquainted with or find or have employment with. The two I have thus far are Lord Vargas, a fence and black market merchant and small time syndicate leader of sorts, who operates out of the Faded Lantern Tavern, and Madame Margarette Fontaine, A brothel owner, fence, and organized crime ringleader who is in a semi-competition with Lord Vargas and his small enterprise.

They are both small fish compared to the Black Hands, which is another group that will be off limits to characters, and non playable as an origin or backstory option.

You do not have utilize these NPC's as an origin or alignment, I am merely adding them if you should so choose to add them to your circle for a bit more girth into the character creation phase. You would not have to belong to either group to do business with them, though they are competing vendors/groups, but belonging to one or the could potentially open or close doors down the way.

@Kassarock well I am leaving it up so you may certainly use it. I plan to for my own character as well. I have an opinion that writing whatever post up I'd like to is unfair to the character. It helps to keep them honest with their flaws, and the nature of things such as flintlocks, etc. But I will make it entirely optional. At any rate it is, and always was, only to be a sort of guideline for posting, and in no way needs to be concrete, it may be altered or tweaked a bit by each player, and only given to add thought to random possible outcomes, which often seems limited to me in a sense when playing by post, if that makes sense. I am looking for more spontaneity I guess..

Completely optional.

UPDATE

@Vertigo
@Finris
@FailingForward
@Aristo

I am going to make the roll system optional, for those who would like to use the system to augment your posting please do so, and if not you certainly don't have to. It was meant as a basis upon which to help keep your character's actions honest and less than heroic. These characters are meant to be less than epic in their feats, and I set up the system to help keep them honest. This should make things easier on everyone. I will leave the system up for referencing, just in case you need to know how difficult certain tasks would be given your current statuses and effects.

I hope this helps..

@Finris No worries. Everyone seems to be a bit busy at the moment, and I am still adding information. I added a few NPC's and I am now going through adding some places of interest and things like that so take your time. I'd much prefer well thought out characters over hastened ones.

~ Winds of Fate - A Thief's Adventure ~ (Semi-tabletop/ some success rolls)

I am placing this here as it is semi-tabletop in nature, it is also up in Advanced. The RP is story driven, but does require some mod rolls and success rolls to help guide posting.



I'm looking for a small to large group of descriptive, active role-players (stressing the active part heavily) for a mid fantasy style adventure RP. Open world-ish in style with an overlying plot and side plots. The RP is intended to remain open and ongoing and hopefully will remain so for a very long time. I like underachievers who turn into remarkable and unlikely heroes in a tact and witty story style. It is also intended to be for a mature group, for 18+ writers only. There will be bounties and rewards (money systems, market items, etc.) as well as purchasable goods to suit the adventurer. I will also keep up an OOC thread to keep everyone connected outside the storyline, and to give everyone opportunities for side quests and other things as well.

The premise thus far is an open ended adventure for a group of 4-6 underachieving, less than par, or just down on their luck thieves that are from a guild or come together through some mishap in the story and embark on adventures set upon them. These characters will all have to deal with some sort of flaw that is unique to each player that will hinder them constantly. My character, for example, is a lush and addict.. Mid-fantasy, as in slim on dragons and mythical beasts, but still outside the realms of reality. This RP will have some success rolls, but only to augment or direct the flow of your post and the successes of your characters during certain situations and should only be used to add a certain unexpected flair for your characters. The big driving force here are their flaws.

Human characters only please. Some magic acceptable, etc. I can answer questions as to where the line is... I would like for the environment to be both gritty, and filled with sharp wit and should make for a fun read as well. The idea is that somewhere in the very beginning of the story they are either all caught and brought together in front of the ruling establishment or are summoned from a guild, who are then sent on a perilous, and lucrative journey. Along the way they will either get their shit together, or they'll fall short in epic failures.

I also like to add visual aids and all sorts of goodies to add a personal flair and ambiance whenever I have the time to do so. I am an artist getting my BFA so I get busy at times but when I add stuff it's usually good.. Things like maps or images relating to areas or places of interest, charts, tables, etc..



The RP will be very in depth and will center on character and group development over time. The plot will be extremely loose and will be greatly determined by the group as a whole.. Anyone interested please feel free to pm me any time. I am looking for committed, well written players for this. At least one to two posts per week..

Still accepting new applications for characters. Apply in OOC thread please. If submitting a character please post it in a hider.. Thanks in advance!!

Here is some additional information about the RP and Roll Mechanics to help give you an idea of how this all works...

MAPS OF THE NINES

I will update these locations accordingly over the course of the RP as it unfolds. Please check periodically.

PURCHASABLE GOODS

ROLLS AND MODIFIERS

Attack rolls - 1d10
Injury Mod - -2 for the duration of the injury.

Skill Rolls - PointsxD2 ( if no skill points exist for skill player rolls 1d6 but must roll a 4 or better for a success. If successful in same action several times the GM may award character with this skill, adding 1 point, accumulating over time. Please make the GM aware of this as best as possible.)

Flintlock Mod - -2
6-8 = hit, 3-5 = poor shot, 1-2 = catastrophic failure

If you roll a perfect 10, the -2 modifier is negated, The shot is accurate and finessed. (Head shot, or similar)

Flaw Mod - -2 on first roll, if successful, mod drops to -1 (hold my beer!)

Intoxication Mod - -1 for duration of affect. Must be added to roll if this flaw already applies to character but reduces to regular mod -1 if roll is successful.. (good luck!)

Unfamiliar Weapon - -2

Pickpocketing - 1D100 (Silver)
All Successes - 1D20 (Gold)
Zero Successes - Failed pick, alerts the mark as well, resulting in confrontation.

@Kassarock You most certainly could. All of these characters are meant to be underdogs, underachievers, that sort of lot. You could play a commoner who hardly knows anything of fighting or stealing, or is perhaps just terrible at both. The premise does revolve around a group of thieves, or petty criminals, so you would to figure out some sort of way to be incorporated in with the group. At some point in the near beginnings everyone will be thrust into a group by some means, most likely incarceration for some sort of petty or high crime.. at which point the group will become established and will embark from there.

Red Dead Potential: A Western RP

I would also be very interested. I have a character that I could tweak a bit that should do fine.. that is if this is still going to be a thing. I just started GM'ing a new RP as well, but I have ample time to write. I took a permanent leave from work to focus on my art and writing so it is fitting that I stay busy with sort of business anyway.

I also Have Maya 3d, and can produce visual aides when I have time. Settings, Saloons, Towns, whatever. I also do traditional and digital paintings and sketches so if I have time to do so I would be happy to help.
