This is an ADULT game
Spoiler for my motivation to start this game: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
So, after really hitting a brick wall with a few, more rigid, game systems on RPOL, I've started to gain a yearning for something very narrative and "Use your GM cap" rather than "Consult page 20 of the DMG. Now apply the flight maneuverability to of the creature(s) in the aerial combat. which will be highly sought after yet thoroughly despised and misunderstood by many"
I have commitments to the latter that I don't intend to shirk, but I REALLY would like to have a game where I can just make a stage set, tell a story and have players take the stage as the protagonists and help write the script and direct the show. All this without having to consult manuals or rolls dice batches.
I need something more intuitive. So...
I'd like to invite a group of players to take part in my first attempt at freeform gaming. I have three concepts for setting and general character themes I'd be looking for.
I'll post these below, but you you can find a facsimile in the Game Information section of the game. If you like the idea you can look at the visible game threads and send a RTJ.
I hope to see a variety of new users that I might not otherwise have encountered in my strictly rigid rules gaming circles. I really want to go back to the roots of why I started RPG games, which was
role-playing and storytelling and meeting cooperative players.
There are three concepts for in game stories I have.
- The Seven Orders of Entities
A medieval fantasy setting revolving around seven ruling orders that control the world. Four of these orders are knights, mages, priests, druids. I'm hoping to have some input on the other three orders. The stories will revolve around the Everworld, which is the finitely wide mortal realm. There will also be some planar travel to infinitely wide worlds and even some that are sustained only by the willpower and imagination of powerful entities, dream worlds if you will. This will be more sandbox and will focus on both creating the world and interacting with it.
- Echoing Souls This game is more focused on a specific story-lines and parameters of the characters. It is loosely based off the works off Anne McCaffrey, both the Perne series and the Ship Who Sang. Each player that participates will need two characters.
- The first will be one from a futuristic space faring setting. Players will be either a brain or brawn to begin with. They will be paired with the opposite and be tasked to various tasks by an organized central ruling body. Fighting alien invasions, curing plagues, evacuating planets that will suffer imminent calamity are all possible scenarios.
- The second will be dragon rider and dragon. Same idea as the space faring game, only this will be more medieval scenarios but will a small amount of fantasy built in in place of technology. Magic is scarce at best and mostly unheard of otherwise.
- War of Sin and Virtue this game will have the players helping define 18 entities; the seven deadly sin, seven virtues, and four riders of the apocalypse. Biblical knowledge is not required, nor will be be more than crude inspiration. There will certainly be total departure from the biblical themes beyond these aspects. The world will be definitively a fantasy world, not a parallel earth.
This will be slightly sandbox but with an evolving world with events going on that the characters can choose to take part in or not. There will be three teams. The demons, the angels, and the riders. Players cannot be in both the demon and angel group and so must choose one to be in, if either at all. All players may be in the riders group as they so choose. All groups will take place in the same world. Characters will be very powerful and capable beyond mortal imagination, but still far from omnipotent.
If you are interested please RTJ with information about what game(s) you're interested in. Then tell me some about yourself.
