This is gonna be fun.. and confusing. I'm leaning more towards confusing. But it's OK. I have RP'd before. I'm a pro. Well maybe not. Whatever. I don't care. Or do I? I don't know. Wait, I'm confusing myself now. Yes, yes I am. God damn it. Argghhhhh.
So first scene is in an Inn/Tavern. The name of the tavern is wait for it.....The Golden Bear.
I'm amazingly awesome btw.
i would like venture to ask if we could have OOC's for both the RP's just so that people in the different simultaneous stories dont get confused when someone from the other stroy posts up a thought or question in here.
i would keep this one for the main Story line as a whole, key events and genral feed back as a whole can go here.
story boarding and questions in the separate OOC's and story itself in the RP
or perhaps i am the only one who forgets to look at who is talking and goes simply off the tone of the post to know who i'm talking to.....
Actually, you have a valid point there...It's like having only one OOC for two RP's. It's going to get confusing pretty fast...
And speaking of confusing, that's the way the intro post is. What do we do from there? What's the background? :(
When you post in here, if you are RED TEAM post in red. If you are BLUE TEAM post in blue. If you are imnothere post in green. :)
Let's get started...
Scene 1: The Characters Meet
Duration: Early evening through to the wee small hours of the morning.
Activity: It's an inn! Lots of drinking, gambling, and laughing.
Goal: Establish characters and make connections. Meet the other players. Start accumulating power words.
Tone: Jovial, friendly, raucous, crowded. Absolutely adjust tone for your character's perspective.
Environment: The inn is warm and comfortable. Outside, the weather is getting worse and worse.
GM Controlled Character:

1. Gark, The Barkeep. Grumpy and old. There's a darkness to him, but it's hard to put your finger on exactly what it is.

2. Haffys, The Barkeep's Son. Handsome, flirtatious and a bit vapid.
Ends: The characters elect to spend the night at the inn.
*special* The ale is really very good here. You should compliment the staff.
Er... So these powder words... I'm kind of confused as to how exactly they work, even though I've read that particular post. I'm supposed to write down stuff spoken to me and keep track of it?
A question about power words: We accumulate them?
Like if we gain 3 in the first scenario, we can use them in the 2nd scenario as well?
Make a note of adjectives and nouns that a character controlled by another player or myself says to you. String 3 of them together to make a form of magic. Please note that nobody is going to conjure fireballs or things on that level, because otherwise you would be wizards and not blacksmiths and soldiers and criminals. But the words will have an effect, and you get to decide what they do (tell us on this thread).
Once you use the words they can't be used again.
Don't panic about it, this is one of the things we are testing here. It may not work, we are about to find out. :)
Absolutely.
little Gwen should be known by any of the people who pay any attention what so ever to street people. she is a dirty ball of sunshine. think Orphan Annie but without the sass. or the Matchstick Girl. anyway i'm there by the door, anyone can come talk to me.
Hope its ok I took liberty of having Cale know Haffys. If not I'll edit.
I find it perfectly fine.
Really wanna reply to Arathorn's post but kind of feel like I should give others a chance to post first.
Very cool start guys... :)
Just for Bole, I know your mainly moderating and new to RPs at the same time so credit to ya, but just a tip. When you post as a GM character, put it in 3rd person not 1st.
I.e.
Also: Power Words, do the adjectives and nouns have to be related to us or just directed at us? For example in that post could I save loon?
Eh I'll give others a chance since I'm getting off to go to sleep anyways
hey boleslav could go you a bit farther with that character status and quote all the players bios, will make it easier to check what other players look, like if we can go right to the first page instead of skimming through all 20 pages to find the person we are looking for
broUK you can toss her away from you if that is what your char would do at this point. i didnt see your conscious level till after you stopped to help me. she is an innocent so she wont blame him at all. i know i'm really pulling at heart strings there. i didnt want you to feel trapped into doing something your char wouldnt. if he really does want to help her that is great and i'm happy to go with it ether way.
Yeah, my character has a soft spot for needy children, considering that he had a rough time of it himself...
Noted, I'll get onto that.
Everyone else seems to be writing in 3rd person so I will do that too. Good feedback, thanks!
They need to be directly spoken to you, and yes, you can use loon. ;)
Gark is using the Power words IDLE, FOOD, & BELLY to bring about painful but temporary stomach cramps in Aevalaine. He's not doing it maliciously necessarily, he's just a cranky, foul tempered old git.
i love the way the stories are differing already!! all the different sides of people that are coming out
Gwens remidieal english question for the day:
in a sentence you "verb the adjudicated noun" yes?
ie verb noun adjudicative adverb the swiftly running stream was blue
did i color code that right?
I couldn't agree more! The stories are going to infold in different ways.
I don't want people to panic over the words, and your question is far from remedial. In your example sentence I'd say you could add swiftly, running, stream, and blue. But definitely not verbs or prepositions or articles or pronouns.
By the way Gwen, did you notice Brotherhood gave you the word "death":eek:
yes i have death and some other dier words. so no "you"s "i"s or "me"s right? because i was counting them as nouns.
Gwens humming is her using the power words warmth inside food on Haffy. she would like something to eat that will warm her up all night long.
Bree gave me something like that as well...
So I got the words wine, stronger, and brought. How would I use those words within the RP so that he would have magically brought over some stronger wine than the regular sort?
