An Adventure Time Roleplay, Starring Original Characters


Somewhere, the war is over. Somewhere, people reel in shock at the appearance of GOLB, and sigh with relief at his subsequent disappearance. But the world has an occasionally annoying habit of continuing to turn and, sure enough, another day dawns on the Land of Ooo. And another. And another. Days turned into years. Heroes turned into myths.

And yet this isn't about the past. This is about now, where a group of brave new heroes rise up to forge their own legacy. Will it be a legend of heroic sacrifice and valorous deeds? A cautionary tale about the dangers of poor hygiene? A ballad sung by screaming guitar warriors about risking it all for love? It's a mystery.

Whichever way it goes, it starts with would-be heroes answering the call to adventure. Posters have spread across the land, seemingly overnight, which simply read:

HELP. HEROES NEEDED. BREAKFAST KINGDOM.


And you are a hero, aren't you?















Game Status
Currently the game is in the planning stage as we collectively wrangle characters. In character posting is due to start early January, 2020. Expected date for first IC post - January 6th.

Tag for the lovely people who have expressed an interest in playing:
@TruthHurts22 & @AmpharosBoy & @Lightning & @BCTheEntity & @Moyai

Hopefully character creation is clear enough to go through, and as ever, I'm open to answering questions, discussing ideas and collaborating. Either drop me a message in my inbox or, if you don't mind it being out there for everyone to see, post here. Once again, thank you for showing an interest in the game, and if there's anything I can do to make your game better, let me know!

Hey, just dropping by to declare my interest in this.
I saw the interest check and noticed that you weren't taking any new applicants unless a spot opens up, so let me know if the situation changes.

I have PMed you my character, Ucalegon; whenever you're ready to take a look at them, I will be eager to receive your thoughts about them.

Shall do @Ryik, consider yourself Top Of The List. Life is difficult at the top, but I'll trust you can handle it well. Honestly, if it looks like there's a possibility I can handle additional players, I may even be able to open things up a bit once things get going. I just don't want to risk biting off more than I can chew for my first game, and a small group is going to be part of that.

Thanks for the character submission @BCTheEntity; I've PM'd you back with my thoughts and a bit of Extra Homework, as it'll be a few weeks still before I'm back from my own personal version of The Nightmare Before Christmas and whatever horrific things I'm required to endure to keep up appearances for New Years. As an aside, and related to your character, I've got a thing about jellies and skellies. I had this whole idea for my tabletop group about an NPC called "Skelly Jelly", who was a skeleton trapped in a jelly. At some point, he is consumed by jealousy, and becomes "Jelly Skelly".

Here's an animated gif of him thinking hard. Most of my notes for campaigns are, it turns out, just weird drawings and sketches.


I didn't say good weird drawings and sketches.

@Ucalegon Oh boy, that is a fun concept. It's funny how you and I have had similar thoughts before, but I'm glad you like my chap either way; I'll have him shifted to the Characters tab lickity-split. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with, too!

I'm alternating between looking forward to and mildly terrified by. With your character up, hopefully that'll help inspire folks - it's certainly made me start scribbling furiously in my notepad to add some new elements to what I had planned.

@Ucalegon

A character for consideration, that can of course be discussed further beyond the CS itself either here or in PM. Do you want puns? A sad display of power from those above mortal beings? A numbskull who probably shouldn't exactly be trusted with a gift but was given it anyways for kicks, with a nemesis that probably takes things a little too seriously while also being pathetically childish at the same time? Well, look no further than...

In the opening post you mention rolling dices on your table, I think that is fine, but just in case you didn't know, the guild also has a rolling system of its own with public results.

Am supposed to be hard at work at the moment, so this is a quick post to say that I'm liking both our nutty friend and Swampy. On the dice front, I will play with it tomorrow and see how it goes - the system I'm mangling for this uses d6 that are marked with two blank faces, two plus faces and two minus ones. So as long as I remember which numbers correspond to which symbols, it'll work out.

Speaking of work, time to dash.

So, question!

What exactly goes into the Bonus Aspect? Like, I wanted to play a crafty, tinkerer type, so I want them to have a big backpack, y'know as you do. But I also liked the idea of them having a little animal friend, essentially a familiar but without the magic. Would I only have to pick one, or?

Quick reply because I've got twenty minutes of work time left then I'm going to roll into bed!

Personally I would say that a big backpack is a mundane enough piece of equipment to be bundled in with a concept of tinker, and have the animal companion be the bonus aspect. The backpack full of tinkering stuff could be like a knight's sword - it's a given that knight's have a sword, and thinkers gonna tinker, so you get tinkering stuff. If the backpack was filled with stuff not related to the concept (like a bag of... um, fish?) then it'd make sense as a bonus aspect because "tinker" doesn't often bring to mind images of someone carrying a backpack full of salmon.

Unless the concept is "bear tinkerer", maybe.

I may need to come back tomorrow morning and provide a better reply!
