The Grimoire Festival




"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 2000th annual "Grimoire Festival"! I am your host and Master of Ceremonies, Lusha Rayzwa! But you may call me Mr. MC!! To commemorate this monumental occasion, a normally forbidden reanimation spell has been cast, and we are proud to bring you the great, the powerful, "Merlin of Ole"! As one of the founding members of this festival, how do you feel about being here today, in the year 2018?"

"I'm honored to be here, despite my disappointment in the means by which this was accomplished. But I'll overlook this grotesque misuse of power, for the deed has already been done."

"Brilliantly put, oh wise one! We thank you for your participation. Now, on the show!!!

Trumpets play as...





This RP will be a competition where you, the user, control one character. Your character is a novice sorcerer/sorceress that has been selected for the honor of competing in a grand magical tournament known as the Grimoire Festival.

In this world, all spells and incantations must be kept inside your personal Grimoire
book in order to use them. You don't have lug a giant book around or anything, as you can summon your book from thin air any time you wish to add or remove new spells.

For the purpose of this tournament, young novices are placed in an uninhabited landscape. Their personal books have been confiscated, and they have each been given a brand new blank Grimoire. The object of the competition is to collect powerful spells and become stronger as a magic user.

Character Sheets will not actually be located in the Character's tab as individual posts. Instead, you will PM me, @Balthazar007 with your character sheet. Instead, posts in the Character section will be reserved for the addition of new Spells.

Your character will start of with three Magic Crystals. Magic Crystals are used to create new Spells. Once a new Spell is posted into the Character section, it can gain power by being 'Liked' by users on this site. Yes, even users not directly participating in our RP.

We will be using this site's dice roll mechanic, in a simple way, to determine outcomes of battles. Basically, a challenger can attack an opponent with an offensive spell, that the opponent then tries to block with a defensive spell, or with shear magic energy. This is done as one dice roll minus another dice roll. If the defender has any health left, then they can turn around and attack. This goes back and forth until one person has no health left.

When the battle is finished the winner can either claim one spell from the looser's spell book OR take one of their Crystals (winner's choice). Once a character is out of spells AND crystals. That user will be eliminated from the tournament.

I will act as the MC and moderator. I will be in charge of dice rolls and keeping track of health and every character's spells.

The tournament has three phases. One, the entry phase, where we accept as many new users as possible. Two the middle phase, where we stop taking new applicants and start slowly offering power ups. Three the final phase, where power ups are a plenty so that we come to a climax to find our champion quickly.

This RP may take many months to complete, or maybe just a couple. It all depends on how I'm feeling about its pace.

So what do you think? Yea or Nay?

I think there is enough info now for people to make a solid decision.

If three more people say they are interested tonight, I will have this RP up and ready tomorrow. I'm going to bed now. We'll see what we've caught when I wake up. :)

Hmm. Not much interest in this one. I'll consider making it if I can think of a way to simplify it a bit more.

I appreciate the support everyone, but I'm actually going to make this into a table top game that people can play in person. I may revisit it as an RP in the future. But for now, I'd like to focus on what I can do with it as a physical game.

Thanks though!
