In the Kingdom of Curaw all is peaceful. Curaw is a small Kingdom in the mountains that has remained at peace for decades. But now two other countries (Thydor and Dames) are at war with each other. The other two countries have both been trying to win over Curaw's allegiance in the war but the King refuses, he prefers to stay up in the mountain castle in peace and mostly everyone of the Kingdom of Curaw agrees with him.
You will start in a town called Wyre. It seems like it's in the middle of nowhere but it has a very important role in the Curaw. It's main industry is lumber. It's set on a plateau halfway up the mountain, it has small river running down the mountains not far away from town. It has all of the stuff you would expect from a largish medieval town, Blacksmith, Inn, Tavern, Stable etc.
Please choose basic roles, no OP roles such as the King of Dames or an old war veteran, your all normal people from a town called Wyre. Actually I will use Jubals idea so you can pick classes out of a list, there will be no leveling system though.
Classes:
Woodcutter
Shopkeeper
Boatman
Young Nobleman
Craftsman
Priest
Thief
Tinker
Vagabond
Errand Rider
Clerk
Vagrant Traveler
Fisherman
Town Militia/Infantry Recruit
Lamp Lighter
Hunter
Blacksmith
Normal Person
If you wish to join, fill in the blanks.
Name:
Job/Class:
I will wait until we have at least 8 players until we start. Or if that takes too long 7 days will do.
When the game starts any writing by me that
involves the game will be displayed using Red.
RULES:
Please, don't control each other. Do the talking yourself. Even if you post a reply that is one sentence long it doesn't matter.
When your posting what you are going to do please keep it as simple as possible. No long
history lessons and stuff like that. When I ask what you would like to do a simple reply like "Chop wood." is enough.
No overpowered stuff when creating characters, you are normal people (In most cases) with
normal stuff, so on what feet said "No magic". (@Swift_Demon: You'd better hope Swift Sword is just a name.) Also, in-game, no overpowering stuff is to happen. You don't decide it's night, you don't decide it's about to rain.
Leave all of that to me. I control the whole world around you.
Please try not to name anything in the country, if there is a tavern in town don't name it, refer to it as "Tavern" until I mention it's name, I'm in control here remember that.
You may have an animal such as a dog/cat/horse/cow etc. No weird stuff like a mouse or a wolf. You control what they do for most of the time but as I said "I control the whole world around you." so what I mean is I can make your horse break a leg by stepping in a rabbit hole (I'm not that mean though ;) ) or I can make your dog get sick etc.
Now the most important rule is... HAVE FUN!!! ;D (That sounded a bit corny)
Just to let you all know, this is Medieval, not Fantasy so no elves or magical potions (So like Mount and Blade ;D) will be in this RPG.
Players:
Nightangel: Rico Malesta, Young priest (and total pacifist).
Is there a diceroll system behind this or is combat just freestyle roleplayed?
I'll do diceroll, just for the LOLz! ;D
Umm, so no-one wants to play? :(
My name is Rico Malesta, I am a young priest and total pacifist.
This can only end well. :D
XD LOL, OK. We have one. Any more? Come on, don't be shy. :P
I might consider to join soon, probably after Massalia is over... But can you explain me the game in three basic lines?
...Like Axiosa just without the skill system and level ups. Just tell me is you still don't understand.
I'll be Geoffrey Smith, the Blacksmith ;D
Edit[ Oh, and can I have an Alsatian please XD)
I apologise in advance if I don't post as often as I'd/you'd like. I was thinking about signing up earlier but figured I couldn't make a commitment in good faith. However, as it's been so long and there's not much interest so far, why not?
"The Wooden Dragon used to hold a story-telling competition every winter me boy. At night, all the folk'd gather round to hear the very best of tales from Wyre's best tale-spinners. The fire ye see lad, and the best mead in Curaw, it got the tongues a-wagging. I remember, me ol' grampa used to take me in there and set me upon his knee, a-sitting in a chair he was with a mug o' mead in hand and a pipe clenched between his teeth. We heard some rippers indeed lad, some rippers indeed."
The old man's eyes began to droop close, his breath fading to a wisp. A boy knelt by the old man's bed, clutching to old, weak fingers with tears of sorrow welling in his eyes. With a rasping intake of air, he continued.
"The old Wooden Dragon don't do that no more lad, does it now?"
"No grampa, it don't."
The Wooden Dragon had ceased to exist many winters ago, the winds of time and fate blowing away all vestiges of the old tavern until all that was left was the memory of the roaring fire and strong liquor, the friendly faces and thrilling tales of days gone by.
"Too bad me boy, too bad. I would have liked to hear a good tale, one... last... time..."
The boy inclined his head and began to cry as the first of the winter rains began to pelt down upon the thatched roof in soft cadence with his tears.
Suitably sad?
Anyway, the boy's name is Caradoc Madra and now he's grown up a bit. He figured the best way to have a tale worth telling is to get out in the wilds so he's started up a bit of a hunting/poaching business.
I'd like a bow, a large hunting knife and a small terrier to follow me around if that's alright thanks. I understand if I can't get any of that but I figured, better to ask and have it denied than not to ask at all.
@Othko What's an "Alsatian"?
@Pheonix Looks good, sounds a bit like your a hunter. It would have to be a short bow though. And yes, it's a bit sad.
A dog, also known as a German Shepherd :P
LOL!!! Now everone wants a pet. :D Alright than. You can have it.
I'm in. Don't have a name right now but I would like to be a Vagrant Traveller :) .
I'll call you Red Bird.
...I don't get it. ???
Four of us mate. I get the feeling you're gonna be pretty damned lucky to get many more than that. In fact, I think eight was perhaps a bit too much to expect. Perhaps you might post something in the shoutbox about needing two more players?
Too late, someone already done it. ;D
Name: Hugo.
Occupation: Thief.
looks great :)
A little background story so we could get to know you would be good. Remember though, I said "little".
What's the religious set-up, or can I make some up?
...Umm, there is only one God for Curaw, this God in god over all. Kind of like in the real world. His name... is... BOB!! No, just joking.
