Mm. The writing bug has me again. And as it began to itch no-Name suggested something that might appease it, in a somewhat serendipitous manner.
Another play at ANTI-HEROES. Which is a fucking stupid idea.
But with a rebranded new name and look because it'd be nice to see new faces playing.
But I'm willing to play it out again until I get bored.
The Rules
Spoiler for The Rules:
Those who played the original game ought remember them. There were variants in Helm, Dominion, House of Spades, UNFOUND, Singapore...
The basic rules are best explained here, and if any confusion arises for newer players it can be discussed in this thread.
The chapters of the game are being posted in the Whisky Nocturne - The Volumes thread, which should only have posts by myself that detail the events your characters are involved in.
Keep conversation and discussion of the game here.
Character Submission
Spoiler for Character Submission:
Once again, this ought to be familiar. To begin the game there will only be five players to ensure I don't get swamped early on (though this will inevitably occur), and preference will be given to players of games like the first Anti-Heroes, Helm, UNFOUND, Dominion, and all the other similiar doomed ventures. Newer players should still feel free to post a character sheet, as players may be revolved or supplemented later on.
Character Name:The character name...obviously... Gender:I get confused easily. Age:...obviously... Appearance:This is physical appearance, not clothes. Be modest. Favoured Weapons:Try to pick some that will fit in to a genericky faux-Wild West context, and remember these aren't necessarily the ones you'll end up with. Mostly this is whether you'd sooner fight with a rifle, pistol, gatling gun...or maybe even a more savage affair with a tomahawk or spear or lance or somesort. Talents:The skills your character has; not too many, ego-freaks. Persona:The attitudes, the mannerisms, the general personality of your character.
Background and Premise
This is the story Anti-Heroes Blond was going to be. Perhaps. With a variety of new ideas and the usual mish-mash-up of various cultural influences.
Primarily it is the story of a maverick band of misfit army-convicts who are let loose in the warzone, trapped between the forces they once fought for and the enemy. There will be jungles, there will be savages, and they will be wildly, wildly Lovecraftian gods to combat.
An old-school adventure story with plenty of ridiculously fantastical adversaries and mishaps for the intrepid players to overcome.
This really marks the beginning of a shiny new era for Forum RP Games, along with - I hope - an array of sparkly other new games that I'm pushing people to do.
Most crucially this game is about me proving to the staff that I can make what was Arcane Arena into an active, fun old joint with plenty of kooky cats having a pretty jive old time in as it should be, rather than the stagnant inactive wasteland it became.
And of course, proving to the staff that I can do this marks Stage One of my inevitable rise to the position of Head Admin. Your joining up and participation with this game is a vote for me as GodKing of all DV. And if that isn't encouragement enough I don't know what is.
So fill in a neat little character sheet from above and post it here, whether you're new to it all or not, and just watch as the fun unfolds. It's easier than my rambling makes it look.
Easier for you. Not for me. I have to write fucktons. ._.
