The cycle repeats.
Creation led to the development of Knowledge, men striving to become all powerful. Knowledge led to Destruction, as brother killed brother and man razed what they had built. Destruction led to Magic, the souls of men seeping into the ground. Magic led once more to Creation, and a new era of men, magic, and creature began.
And so the world was reborn.
Man is no longer the sole inhabitant of the great continent of Durian. Magical creatures, sentient creations, and beast turned being all now inhabit the world. Five great cities have risen, and seven empires vie for power and control over Durian. Armies have fought, wars have been won and lost. Even now, war drums sounds over the hills as another great battle approaches.
You are a citizen of Durian. Whether you come from one of the five mega cities, or from one of Durian’s endless hamlets and secret dungeons, it matters not.
You find yourself in the town of Nifu, just off the coast of the mainland. Why you are here, only you know. Are you a soldier, seeking pay? A mage, pursuing knowledge? A spy, perhaps, looking for the next bite of juicy information. Whatever it may be, you will soon find yourself aiding three others as Fate deals you a most unfortunate hand. Will you die, becoming but a drop in the ocean that is life? Or will you survive, fight for what is yours, and see the end of an era?
For you are neither the beginning nor the end, and the cycle must go on.
Hello there! This is a game I’m setting up that is going to have elements of both a gaming and a written RPG. A group of four players will traipse the continent known as Durian, fighting monsters, uncovering plots, and earning sweet loot.
As to how it will play out, it will play like a normal role play here on the site while you’re exploring and talking to NPC’s and each other. This is where the majority of the game will (should) take place. Once you get into combat, then numbers take over. Everyone will have a character sheet, and the game will play like an RPG, with dice rolls and stats. If you’re thinking at this point, “but I don’t want to do maths!”, fear not! I’ll be handling most of the legwork there. All you have to do is say what you want to do and I’ll do my best to see it happen.
This interest check is to see how many people would be interested, since it kinda crosses the gap between the tabletop category and the casual category. Regardless, the OOC should be up in a few days, with all the info you could possibly need to start the game and more!
(Though seriously, it’ll be a LOT of information. Most of it is just details for if you’re interested in learning how the game functions. Like I said, most of the game should be played as any other game in the casual section, so don't worry!)
