Blueborn 21 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 A Few people have been enjoying some role-playing on forum and i thought to create a topic just for it, so people can join in and have some fun. Feel free to join us. If you see an opening to join, go for it! The more the merrier. The Idea: Play-By-Post is a form of Role playing that happens usually online, on forums, and is similar to acting, for you take on the role(s) of your character(s). The major difference is that it is performed through writing(posting)rather than acting out. Things you will need: An imagination A Friendly attitude Understandable grammer Rules: Keep to warspear themes. Follow the story-line as it develops. No abuse of any kind. Please try to keep out of story-line chatter to spoilers, so others can decipher the plot without getting confused with it. Players create their own characters and descriptions of events and their surroundings during play, and not another players. Consider the following possible post in this spoiler from a character named Bob attacking Joe: Bob punched Joe in the chest, knocking him over. This post makes the assumption that Joe takes no further action to avoid the attack from Bob and that he will drop as a result. These types of actions are often called "autohits" as they "automatically hit" without allowing for a response by the affected character, and it is against the rules for such actions (commonly referred to as the 'no power playing' rule). Alternatively, Bob may be required to write something like the following: Bob swung a punch at Joe's chest, attempting to knock him over. This allows Joe to respond to the action without contradicting the post. Playing with multiple characters:Best way to do this is to state each character before entering the dialog. As example.. Born: Jump and leaps out of the way of the banshee's claws. " Watch out!! I'ts furious! " Banshee: The feeble shaman escapes my talons and glares at me with fear... such ghastly eyes. With an ear piercing *screech* I lunge forward for yet another attempt. Going offline.Players stating "OFFLINE" are retiring from the story until later on. We all cant expect to be on 24/7 to keep the story flowing after all.Any offline character can be used as long as it does not take great effect. Alternative plots are encourage when the bulk players of the storyline are offline. The story so far: Born and maleshaman decided to setup a cage trap with vodka as bait with the intention to catch a developer. But instead, the pair caught themselves a turtle and is now being hunted by an unknown creature that is pursuing them through the forest. Maleshaman: "Ah, Thnx Born! He isn`t holding my feet anymore... Wait a minute, where the hell did he go then?" Maleshaman looks around with the torch. "....hmm ....!Born, beside ya! watch it!!" Born: Hearing male yell out in warning born quickly jumps to the side in fear, just in time to see beak like jaws snap shut just where his toes would have been. "Phew.. It was just the turtle male" The woods grew quiet instantly with an eerie echo of a "thump" ringing out into the night air. "Did you hear that male?" Born said in a whisper. The story continues...

Maleshaman 15 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 As I sprinted towards Born I heard him ask his question. I replied: "No, what sound Born? I looked down at the turtle and questiond myself: "why on hell was this poor turtle in the cage trap?" I looked at Born and asked him if he seen anything suspicious around here. "Born, have you seen anything of interest around here? Maybe it will help us understand who our attacker is" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maleshaman 15 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 As I managed to stand on both my legs again, I stood up and walked towards the impact crater. "Cough! Ugh this smoke smells dreadfull!" A strong scent of burned wood was all around the forest, I`m certain that us 3 aren`t the only ones that smelled this As I looked better, I spotted our mysterious person laying on the ground, with nearly inches beside him the destructed tree. "Hey, Born! It`s all good here. Our mysterious person is still alive" As I said that I was feeling the pulse of this person. I opend his hand to take the piece of paper. "got the paper Born!"

Maleshaman 15 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 ....! I took a step back as our mysterious person introduced hisself. "That sure was a close one, stay still for a moment, I`ll help you with those bruises." I made a silent prayer to the spirits of the mountains. By doing this my hands started glowing and I could heal Ninja Owl. "How does that feel?" I asked Ninja Owl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever he was trying to keep secret must be written on this paper. I had to make a decision... "Ok guys, listen. Clearly something is persueing us in these woods, I`d suggest that we go to this 'safe place' that Ninja was talking about. What do you both say?"

Blueborn 21 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Born looking rather miserable and wet he see's male fumbling with his hand but it does not register in his mind. " I Hear them also.. but they are a fair way off.. or so i think " Born looks around his surroundings and see's some light through the tree's on his right. He knows it isnt the settlement but his hopes are high for a decent shelter to be where they light resides.. " Over there! Perhaps that light may be from a shelter of sorts.. " To our viewers May be a good moment to introduce yourself if you wish to join. Are you a traveler with some shelter you could share with us weary travelers? A Cave and a fire to protect us from beasts and the elements perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustling through his robes, born produces his pouch of gold. Male joins in on the conversation... Looking up, I reconise the familair face of Azebu.

Azebu 92 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Right, I'll have to check what I can do. Azebu goes to his storage. Meanwhile, a cat comes out of the basement. Okay, I've found relatively fresh heart of female mature boar, and a bunch of sausages made from various forest mammals. Few first aid kits I scavenged, in mint condition, in handy form of backpack. Also, three bentos I've found today, yeah. These are free. Now, the heart and sausages are, hmm, 200 coins. I see you seem in a bit of hurry? I can offer you a teleport to my main store.
