@Crosswire Sounds good and danke shein for the map update. Did you want me to write up a little description for Boogie's Beans, because I'm more than happy to do something similar to what you wrote for the Goody Basket?


Yes I'd love you and everyone else to write descriptions regarding what their lot/building looks like. You and @Utrax did a fantastic job on both of your descriptions! I've uploaded them both to the front OOC page with an updated map.



Unfortunately I'm gonna have to withdraw from this. I just don't have the time to commit to these characters the way I'd like to. Wish you all the best of luck, this cast looks really interesting so I'm sure this will be fun to watch :)


I'm very sorry to hear that Smarty, I hope all goes well and that you're able to return someday.

Eh guys, consider me out of this. I tried to get a sheet done but I just had no inspiration. If I feel it I'll come back. Otherwise, enjoy the RP


Nooooooooooo ;w;. Alright I understand Fantasy. I wish you the best of luck and hope you come back eventally.

I guess so lol, gonna start work on my first post when I'm feeling a little less hung over, will have it up tonight or else let Cross talk mad shit about me.

Also @MissCapnCrunch please add Bambi and Gretal to the characters tab to make 'em official


LET THE MAD SHIT TALKING BEGIN.

But yeah if the players who joined don't come back it's not too big of a deal, we haven't really started yet. Look forward to a post, I intend to harass Drag until it gets put out! :D

*Edit: Good to hear Soldier and Cap are around. Yaaaaaaaaaay!

Boogie for mayor! You have nothing to fear except Terror herself. Or itself. Whatever.

What was the conflict you'd been planning between Terror and Eissen, btw?

@Lexicon, @MissCapnCrunch, @Oddsbod, @Utrax, @Crosswire

aaaand we're off! Opened with an always pleasant murder but the night is young and after all, lots of Tales prefer the seclusion of the night life, so feel free to start posting and interacting with one another, I'm personally gonna try have Crier interact with several different people before the night's over and I hope you all do the same, try start some relationships and stories or just use the time to establish and build up your character

@Drag Sweet. Hmmm...maybe have Crier pay a visit to Boogie's Beans to see if Terror is around? Also, if you wanted, maybe you could use the envelope full of pictures that was left outside Crier's office as a convenient excuse to come knocking on Boogie's door? That would definitely get her attention. I shall try to have a post up no later than the end of the week.

I have the idea for my opener and a general structure. My goal is to type it tomorrow and have it up no later than Sunday. Kudos again on the nice intro post, @Drag.

@BishopAlright Bishop, do you remember what I said about your killer apple idea?

A character who exists solely to kill others with absurd powers, no real means of meaningful interaction, and a questionable background premise wouldn't go well.


The character you submitted is a slight improvement over the idea of a murderous, teleporting, over powered piece of fruit. If only because Count Edgelord here has a working mouth and could actually interact with other player characters.

Drac here has a tremendous amount of issues in how you've presented him. His personality is shallow, his background is brief and doesn't tell us what we need to know, he has too many powers, too few weaknesses that make no sense (Vampires are not vulnerable to silver) and more importantly he is not a Tale.

Vlad III Dracula was a real man whose actions simply inspired a bunch of really nasty stories that later inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1897. Tales come from a world of fables and folklore, so the fact your character is from the real world already makes him immediately unacceptable. It's like you didn't even bother reading what the intent of this roleplay was.

Stories about blood sucking creatures and folklore Vampires have been around long enough that they, plus Bram Stoker's novel could be used as the basis for an interesting Tale. However even if you changed your character's Tale it wouldn't change the fact he's badly written hot garbage.

One of the things we expressed asked for and have said, many, many times is that we want interesting takes on otherwise well known characters. A drug dealing Tinker Bell, vigilante gym-owning Mothman, a Taco-Truck driving Chupacabra. Those are all clever and intriguing spins to things.

Having Dracula as a darkly dressed, grim, blood thirsty depressive is the exact opposite of what we want. Edgy, dark, and broody vampires are a virtual stereotype at this point perpetuated by bad movies and lazily written books.

So in short you need to redo your entire character, from top from bottom if you want to even think about joining this roleplay.

@Bishop I love you so much man, you don't even know, it's the greatest stuff I've ever read.

I'll give you some credit, like Cross said this guy is better than the teleporting sentient fruit, but I'm not going to lie that really isn't saying too much.

The main problem I have with this character is you could slap on "Psh nothin personnel kid" and it wouldn't look out of place, with the rp we're trying to make some flawed, unique and interesting characters, your guy is very obviously out of place for two key reasons. 1. He isn't really a Tale, you can make a case for Stoker's novel but you don't mention anything like Helsing or his wives and even say he was the literal Vlad The Impaler and 2. His backstory tells us literally NOTHING about the character, who he is, where he came from, how he has these powers and his current job, it is pretty much a drawn out version of "He's immortal lol, fuck you" (I also just noticed his name is literally only "Count Dracula" which I'm sure makes for interesting conversation when he goes to the DMV or something)

Your personality isn't much of a personality either, and funeral directors aren't given corpses for the sole purpose of using them as action figures or something.

your weaknesses aren't very good, sunlight is all well and good but why in the hell is he affected by silver, does it trigger repressed memories? Did silver kill his dad??

He has quite a lot of powers, typically I'm going to raise my eyebrow at your intentions but with this rp I'm pretty willing to compromise, with the character you made before (as well as the other sign ups I've seen you make elsewhere) christ dude I'm not even raising an eyebrow I am fully making lingering eye contact towards you, I am dead certain you made this character with powerplaying and "xtreme cool" in mind

Unless you overhaul this guy or come back with a sign up that actually thinks outside the box then I can't accept this.

(Also they're called Tales, not Fables)

@Drag I admit, I was at fault coming with a half-arsed CS that I put up quickly. So lets start a new leaf.

Is the Deceiving Serpent in the Bible that deceived Adam considered a "Tale"?
If you look at it from this point of view, the whole Bible is a well developed fantasy world which teaches us morals and the right way to live. It could very well be considered a book of Tales.

@Drag@CrosswireI've been doing my RP rounds before the week starts up again. This game is next so I'll be working on a Hansel post. I plan to use two NPCs: Lil Bo Peep and Black Sheep (her "supposed" lost sheep).
