SHROOMS ARE TRUE POWER!

Lots of RP scenarios are designed with a definite goal or end in mind.

Not so here. The concept here is to include a variety of "arcs" controlled by the omnipotent Narrator (me waii), while the player characters gallivant about questin' and fightin'.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE JOINING:

Joining: Your OC appears in a strange home. Feel free to describe it any way you like; the only requirements are a little fireplace that's devoid of warmth, an old writing desk, an older armchair, and the Enigmatic Man who sits in it (Whatever you do, don't describe him. Just dont.).

Anyhow, afterwords go poof into the land of (BLANK), find a nice spot to go adventuring and maybe make a town or something. How are you going to make a town alone? Go meet other OC's, and enslave some golems or something.

It's all up to you, chaps. I'm just here to tell you what's in a room and how NPC's react to your goofy shenanigans.

Rules: Don't be an asshole. Keep humour to a respectable level. In other words don't CUPCAKES NINJA PIE ROFLMAO SO RANDOM, and don't make jokes about Your Mom. Please inform me of your intent to join in this thread before joining. The Enigmatic Man doesn't like surprise visits at all. Don't commandeer the story from me. My story. Bark. Grrr. Well, it is your job to shape it, but don't godmode. Wait for NPC reactions, unless they seem fairly unimportant, like some douche on the street or something; stabbing the big dragon and killing him in one shot, or running up the the Enigmatic Man and performing an arousing striptease that makes his head explode (If he has a head. We don't know.), or other stuff along those lines, will get you booted, and probably banned. So yeah.

SIGNUP TIME

OC SHEET

Name: (Obvious)

  • Age: (Also obvious.)

  • Gender: (If they have one.)

  • Species: (Be original. Humans are allowed, but hey; we could use more lizardmen and mermaids.)

  • Appearance: (Describe your OC. I'm not looking for a portrait of words, so things like eye colour and shoe size can be left out; clothing and skin and such are good.)

  • Combat Prowess: (Offense specialty, essentially. Can your OC cast Magic Missile into the darkness? Swing a five-foot sword?)

  • Personal Traits: (Alot of things. Personality to speech quirks.)

  • Philosophy: (Any religion? A specific moral code?)

  • Biography: (Before they got appearified into (BLANK), what did they do? who did they live with? etc.)

Let's get it started. grin

I think more people will be interested if you brush up a little more on grammar and formatting. That tends to be a turn-off for some people, since a illiterate GM, even an observer, can make roleplaying difficult.

Also, give some time. It sometimes take a few days before interest piles up.

I'm already in three RPs, so I can't join right now.

... this reminds me a lot of a previous RP, where everyone basically had free-reign to remake the universe.

It didn't last, but I'm have interest for this, so there you go.

By the way, RP levels up to level 37 and learns THREAD CREATION at 5 "Interest".

Or is it just a joke that isn't information, unlike the 5 interest one?

I tentatively admit to having curiosity.

Also, I'd like to offer to spellcheck the OP.

[up] I would've done that, but I've only bothered to skim the OP, as it doesn't describe the setting or premise, just the goal, which I got from the title.

[up] I think "interest check" and "sign-up" are interchangeable here, but I'm not sure.

I'll PM you the new n' improved OP posthaste.

Half of it is, at any rate. Here's a rundown on some the basic stuff.

  • I should've told you about line breaks. Put two backslashes (\\) at the end of a line
    to do
    this. If you don't use these or asterisks (*), then it won't recognize paragraph breaks.
  • Also, italics are made with two apostrophes. ''Text'' = Text. Bold is with three, and five will give you bold italics.
  • You make bulleted lists by putting * at the very start of a line. If you use two or more,
    • you get
      • this. Note: (As with a lot of other tricks, you can't copy-paste these directly. If you copy the bullet, you'll just get an awkward-looking paragraph.
  • Finally, to Pot Hole to tropes that are one word, put {{}} around the trope (inside the [[]]). This also works for pluralizing tropes: {{Magic Missiles}}s (with a space) = Magic Missiles.

(Dude, I should write manuals or something. tongue)

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't interested in joining (hence this post in a thread called interest check) so here goes nothing

INTEREST!!

Btw it would easier for me to make a character sheet if I knew a bit more about the setting and such

So I have to put my character sheet here, right?

Name: David Taylor Age: 29 Species: Human Appearance: Well, starting out, he's white, tall, his weight's in the middle ground and he has brown, mildly spiky hair everyone seems to like. Moving on... Combat Prowess: Guns. Vide biography. Personal traits: A little sarcastic, but serious at the right moments. (Unlike that game where the characters have 9 hours to live, but there are puns every time you examine something) He's also a good thinker and imaginative. Philosophy: None? Is that allowed? Biography: David was a private detective from L.A., solving crimes with his crime-solvability ability, and such. Then, he got appearified into (BLANK), and the rest is up to the Omnipotent Narrator.

See, I was original by not being original, I think. Well, whatever.

[up]It works. Hop on into the Main Thread and introduce yourself.

[up][up] I left the setting blank because it is influenced BY YOU. An area is introduced by either me for plot reasons, or where YOU think your OC should start. Don't worry about geography, I'll handle that.

Meadow? Feel free to describe it. Shore? Describe it too. Small rock floating haphazardly in lava? Technically impossible, but you can do it anyway.

One of the reasons I want this to live is to see how everyone imagines everything. It's not just an RP, it's also an experiment.
