Fantasy Forum Fun, or that game from the three spells thread.

This will be a roleplaying story game, I don't want to do turn based, so we'll let things go organically.  If you can't post for a while you might just get dragged along, or we could all end up sitting around waiting for you.

 

The Characters:

We can have up to four players, those players can pick from the below characters, all characters get four things to start with, all get two personality traits, the rest depend on what you are:

A Prince or Princess:  You have to be nice, polite and you get to be a leader.  You get an item and a spell, and you are a pathetic human.

A Cat:  You are a cat.  You will get some basic cat abilities to choose from and a cool spell, but you are not a fighter, you don't hurt things that much with your claws, you can be brave but you are not a ninja.

A Bear Cub:  You mean well, and you are a bear, but you are not a big bear.  You like Princes/Princesses and try to get along with everyone.  You have great common sense about the outdoors, and have an idea for just about every situation, at least the less strategic ones.  You get bear sense and an item.

A Bird:  You are small and bright, you sing happy ditties and are upbeat, except when you are scared.  You get 2 bird traits.  Flying you get free, it is a nice one.  You are not fast though, you are a pretty little songbird.

A Dragon:  You are big and tough.  You have a cave and treasure, but you never-ever take your treasure out of your cave.  Ever.  You like Princesses and small animals, you might like the taste of a Prince, who knows?  You are great at dealing with big problems, but sadly the little ones are often the key.  You get two Dragon traits.

A Pony:  You are loyal and brave, you love your Prince/Princess and follow with them wherever they go.  You have secrets, but you never let them out.  No one must ever know you are more than you appear.  That is the way of Ponies.  You get a magic ability and an item.

 

Tell me what one you want, I'll respond with choices for you to pick from.

How to play:

Like an adventure RPG, but no dice or anything.  No fighting to win, sometimes you have to fight but that is just a step you don't get to win or lose fights.  (fights kind of go on until other stuff stops them)  Use your creativity, be silly, help people.  I will answer any questions and post relevant details when you act.

I'll post a start, then relevant characters take it from there, sometimes there is a choice, other times you just get to try stuff until something happens.

 

Go ahead and sign up.  Four person limit.

Im calling the dragon

I suspect I'm not invited, but if I were, I would be the Dragon first, the Cat second, and maybe the Bear Cub a distant third.

Can I be the ickle birdy? :)

You are welcome to play if you are cool about it.

There isn't much strategy to this, it is rather silly and inconsistent.  As storyteller I get to do pretty much whatever I want, and the players get to do things at my mercy.  If you can have fun with that you are welcome.  Arguing will not be tolerated (and by that I mean it will be ignored).

We have a Dragon (Foote) and a Bird (Ameena) so far

We need a Prince/Princess and either a cat, bear or Pony.

If you want grab one of those.

You want to know what would be fun? Having a Ronway randomly appear at some point in the game and tossing in a random element...

I hope is Helium. Makes everyone talk in funny voices.

Maaaaaybe we shouldn't give the dragon Helium.

Hindenburg.

That is all.

Edit: I am an idiot. Hindenburg was filled with Hydrogen. Sorry. Helium is delightfully unflammable. The Dragon approves.

Aren't you the dragon?

Curses for taking my use of element as an element from the periodic table. I obviously meant an element from the Ronway Table of death, destruction, doom, chaos, and fluffy bunnies.

Do they have big sharp pointy teeth?

I have the strangest sense of deja vu right now…

It is the Ronway table after all, who knows what it holds on it's cold, dark, motionless surface.

Is that the same table you place SotM on?

Ronway may play a fluffy Bunny, that is allowed.  He can have a power of Ronway.

His other ability is to be tasty and always covered in Barbecue Sauce.

Sadly I don't think I will actually be able to join in, as I only have a half hour before I dissapear until late tonight. Then tomorrow I will be playing a game or two with my younger sister, so I probably won't be on very often. Perhaps I will join the next one if there is going to be a next one.

 

Edit: And in that game, I will take the super awesome Bunny! I dare someone to try and eat me!

Same, busy until tomorrow night.

However, I REALLY want Ronway to run one. Maybe start one on Sunday.

I will probably sit this one out, unless you desperately need someone to take the role of the cat (the bear is probably too much for me) and nobody better than me can be found.  (This is exactly the basis on which I usually apply to jobs - "sure I kinda suck, but would you rather have an empty chair?"  Amazingly few employers seem to be desperate enough to require even my services; the economy must be improving after all.)  In general, I do not enjoy silliness, and I really enjoy having more autonomy than you've suggested this will involve.  But I might end up doing something very similar to this myself at a later date.  Whatever my other faults, imagination is the one quality I have always possessed in spades; I'm nearly always the gamemaster in RPGs, and I do pride myself on dedication to creating a compelling world and story.

Okay, for choices:

If you have a personality that you really want that you can't fit into the options just let me know and I'll work with you.  Also if you have a cool idea for an ability for your character, let me know.

Foote the Dragon:  Pick one from each of the four categories.

Personality1:  Cranky, Shy, Short tempered, Cowardly

Personality2:  Brave, Wise, Sly, Boisterous.

Dragon power1:  Fire breath, fast flying, super eyesight, Big (slower flight but tougher)

Dragon Power2:  Super Strong teeth, agility in flight, two heads, super strong tail.

Appearance: dragons can be all kinds of colors, with different wings, they can have horns and look fierce or silly or anything in between.

 

Ameena the bird:  Pick one from each of the four categories:

Personality1:  Shy, giggly, Boisterous, Narcissistic.

Personality2:  Absent Minded, cocksure, Jumpy, brave

Bird ability:  Lull song (lull anyone who hears it), super sharp beak, super quick flight, talk to any Fauna

Bird Ability2:  Shrill (when you want to be), flashy colors, incredible eyesight, really tough

Appearance:  not much guideline here, you are small though, and shouldn't be too flachy and beautiful without taking flahy colors.

 

Miaow!

(That's me being a cat. Because I want to be the cat. I hope that was clear.)

I cannot suspend my disbelief enough to believe that a Meerkat is an actual cat, this is game is absurd!
