Inkheart Roleplaying Game

@Ctharis Accepted, flesh out as the story progresses, a picture is worth a thousand words and helps the rest of the party visualize Deckard.

Inkheart Roleplaying Game

Character Sheets

Basic outlines of each character, as well as who is currently playing the role.

Silver-Tongue [0/1] One of the main companions in the group, this characters narrative job is to apply descriptions and direct the flow of certain NPC's dialogue, as well as the description of areas when the party arrives.

Outsider [1/2] Usually seen as the rogue, the job of these companions is to apply friction to the story, be it through complications of travel (A heavy storm, washed out bridge, bandits up ahead, or detours) or physical enemies that hinder the party. This does not make the outsider the antagonist, merely they build the groundwork for antagonists, giving drive for the party. The enemy descriptions are generally loose, allowing for each other poster to flesh out the characters as they interact with them.

Hero [0/2] Thought of as the star, these characters generally focus most if not all of their narrative direction on themselves and the things they directly interact with. most commonly a close range narrative, their posts are expected to be long, thought out, and epic. Driving the story, and closing chapters.

Friend [0/X] A supportive narrative, most commonly found fleshing out story, and moving the story around, giving extra details, complications, or surprises to the narrative, such as unexpected powers from a bad guy, a fair coming to town during the parties stay, or simply directing a disgruntled bar patron into a fist fight with the hero.

Besides the Silver-Tongue, no character has a specific class they play, to put it in D&D terms, the Silver-Tongue is the wizard, and everyone else is fair game. It is recommended that at least one person be a figure good with a sword, one with a bow, and one with stealth, to fit into the normal themes of traditional fantasy roleplay. Magic users are on a case by case basis, as magic is very light. Notes about races, Humans are the only natural race born to the world, anything else was read into existence by Silver-Tongues at some point. This means that no two races are the same, as each may be drawn from different lore and story. Fey are the most common, as they are prevalent in most early lore.

Post character concepts below, as well as Narrative Classes you would like.

Inkheart Roleplaying Game

Set in the universe drawn out by Cornelia Funke, the game will take the same thematic elements and powers proposed in her original work. The game will take place in traditional fantasy setting, middle ages, light magic, ect. with the exception that there exists Silver-tongues in the world. The basic roles that need to be filled are the silver-tongue his or herself, a hero, an outsider, and the friend. These will be drawn out more specifically in the character creation section.
The basic duties of each character archetype is such, the outsider brings enemies, or hazards, writing them into the story when appropriate, being generic in their initial creation, such as [A shadowy figure leaps from the shadows, turning its attention towards (Heros name) it charges."]
The silvertongue fleshes out the enemies, defining specific details and combat specifics [Drawing a blade of shadow from its own form, the creature lets out a howl, leaping into the air,]
And the hero and friend function as those who defend, [(Heros name) steps aside swiftly, drawing his own blade, and avoiding the charge. He says to the party "My friends, be cautious, a shadow beast attacks!"] At this point the beast has been loosely described, given a means to fight, and a general attitude [Shadowy, brutish, savage, but knows how to wield a sword] and the party plays out the combat in traditional play-by-post means, either winning or loosing depending on how the narrative directs it.

This system allows for a fluid creation of events, while ridding the need for a DM, but there will still be a moderator, who will OOC post if things get out of hand or the story seems to grind, and will post a narrative in the voice of NPC's, giving direction to the party.

It is recommended that you have read or understand the basic concepts outlined in Inkheart, as the will help everyone be on the same page.
More details to follow.

Hey, old user returning, any interest in a Medieval setting RP?

Glad to see the abundance of interest, I will finish drawing up some core world info and description of the opening setting, Ill be posting it all here when its done

Hey, old user returning, any interest in a Medieval setting RP?

Yeah, medieval ones are my favorite ones to do, this one is gonna be fairly low magic, mpst magic used is gonna be frowned upon. (Old world magic users were responsible for a number of ecological disasters and the commonfolk never got over it. The two countries involved are both for the most part lawful neutral (to put it to an alignment chart) and the war was originally started over territorial disputes. Every seven or so years as the countries individual resources dwindle they agree to a truce, which is promptly broken about three years later by one of the countries over minor things (import taxes too high, noble from one country scorned another, ect) the RP would start about midway through another 7 year war, this one started by an assassination of one of the kings sons, the other country pleading innoceance. RP'ers could be from either country meeting by chance after the battle of Dragonbridge in a now neutral zone between the two countries

Hey, old user returning, any interest in a Medieval setting RP?

Thinking about doing a medieval aged RP centered around a country that's in the middle of a war with neighbor country. Think France/England 100 year war, but with an occasional evil wizard mucking up the battlefield. The RP wouldn't be inherently combat heavy, thinking more drawn towards a group of people trying to bring the war to a close, or stop a tertiary power from taking advantage of the situation. I've started a very rough drawing of the map and will scan it in at some point, as well as portfolio's on all the main figures (Kings, Dukes, Generals, ect..) Any one interested?

Hi there!

I used to RP on this site back when I was in High school, thought I'd come knocking on this old forums door! Hoping to find a RP to type away in!
