Interest Check: The Dark Eye
Checking to see if there would be any interest in a game of The Dark Eye RPG (Fifth Edition-English Version). If I run it I would take a maximum of 5 PCs and run a combination of official modules in conjunction with my own adventure. All released official supplements such as the Compendium and Warring Kingdoms would be allowed. Posting rate would be 1/day, 5 days/week, and the game will require involved roleplay. A copy of the rules will also be required, though prior experience is not.
For those not in the know The Dark Eye 5e is the latest edition of Germany's most popular RPG and earlier editions were used to power such classic PC games as the Realms of Arkania Series, Drakensang, & Blackguards. The most current edition was released a few years back in Germany in German and subsequently also translated & released in English. The game world/setting is low powered medieval fantasy and the rules reflect this; magical items are extremely rare and characters must make do with their own training's and abilities.
The game thus has a large skill & professions list allowing many types of characters, from warriors, knights, ladies in waiting, burglars, pastry chefs, farmers, wizards, hunters and many more. Character generation is done via points rather than classes, with professions used as suggestions/recommendations. However if I do run this game I will require professions to be mandatory to provide structure, but of-course you will still have plenty of points left over to customize characters.
There is also a free quickstart available there to tell you the basics of the rules.
Note: This is only an interest check for now, to see if there is a player base here.
