HokumPocus RATS WE'RE THE RATS WE ARE THE RATS

Member Seen 3 mos ago







You woke up surrounded by a myriad of trees in all directions. Around you, faces that you find strangely familiar are sprawled across the leaf covered ground. You were just playing a tabletop game with your friends a moment ago, what the hell was going on?

And that's when you approached a nearby pond and let out a shriek. You were your character. The one you hastily put together. The one who was a test subject for the new and experimental campaign your DM put together. What the hell? What the hell?!! Turning around you realize that the blur of bodies are also characters from the roleplay. And judging by their equally terrified reactions, you're not alone in this mess. Adventures from The Place Holder, that's what that idiot called this campaign. He was terrible at coming up with names and begged everyone to pitch in. It wasn't limited to names either, as you clearly remember everyone having input several rules into the game. You freeze in horror, recalling all of the untested hombrew rules, all of the comedic ones, the ones that made the game stupidly and bewilderingly difficult.

Of course, your memory wasn't perfect, and it was his campaign and not yours. Surely he had to have them all jotted down somewhere. So you called out his name. And then you called out his character's. And then you realized that everybody was here except for him, the only person with even half a clue as to what the hell this world consisted of. Shit.


Adventures from the Place Holder is a roleplay that takes place inside of a fantasy world, one where everyone and everything is hunting down reality warping artifacts known as Place Holders. Expect a general lighthearted tone that doesn't take itself seriously at all. Finding your former dungeon master is your initial goal, but things will take interesting turns during your journey. In order to spice things up, this roleplay will also feature a system where every player will get to contribute something to the world. Also the moist and sultry lordorgasmo came up with this idea not me

This has piqued my interest, I'll be lurking around to see where this goes.

Was this Jumanji inspired ?

I think Hokum meant that anyone can contribute by adding their own ideas. Weeabooland with cat girls (totally not my idea)? Sure! Self-insert sonic OCs? Sure! That kind of thing.

I'll ask Hokum on discord if he checks it before RPG in the case I'm wrong, but I think that's more or less what he meant.

@soren

sola is right, to be specific I’m referring to this part of the character sheet:

The DM was terrible at his job and let everyone toss their own ideas into this mess. What poorly thought out ideas did you contribute?: (Maybe a strange country, or a form of magic, or an artifact, or a legendary person. Have fun with this.)

to better represent the theme of “friends who made an awful rp for funsies but are now trapped in it whoops”

Okay, something is funky. I swear I'm subscribing to this thread, but each time I come back to it, I'm no longer subscribed. Weird.

@HokumPocus So, with the DM being brought up in the OP, can we get an input on who s/he is? I imagine our characters would at least have an idea of them from the character creation process to starting the campaign, plus whatever else e.g. friend of the DM or whatever.

Oh, sorry about that. Was trying to be brief but should have included that.

The DM is a bit of a “that guy”. He’s kind of dumb and kind of an asshole, but never enough to where you would stop roleplaying with him. He lives with his parents in a pretty roomy house, so he’s the guy in the group who hosts stuff 80% of the time, another reason why he hasn’t been kicked out yet.

DM guy, or Craig as he’s named, is a show off and impulse buys a lot of roleplay materials without actually knowing how to use them. The roleplay starts off on a day where he’s bought a very intricate and very difficult book and has decided to start crowdfunding ideas after realizing that he’s bitten off more than he can chew with being a DM.

@HokumPocus Right, I'll be working on a CS this week. Do we have an ETA for OOC launch?

As for everyone else, here is a discord link for those that aren't currently in the server. If I'm not around, just ping me and I'll give you access to Hokum's channel whenever I'm able to.

I've actually never done comedy... this sounds fun though. Maybe I'll just play the guy who doesn't get the joke... Hmm...
