1888


The Story of Hurston Macabre


Welcome to 1888, a guild wide cooperative story. This roleplay is a little different in that everyone plays the same character, a gunslinger living in a weird-western and horror fantasy world. Hurston is in a bad way, abandoned by his so-called friends to die. As the Narrator, I will post 'turn updates' describing the current scene and Hurston's status. The story is open ended and you may try different things to see what happens. NPCs and Locations Hurston can interact with will be in bold text. Read the rules, and jump in!


The Rules:




  • Any member of the forum may give Hurston ONE complex action per post.
  • This includes actions such as using a weapon, or any abilities Hurston acquires during the game.
  • This includes dialogue. Try and limit questions to one at a time.
  • Simple actions like opening an unlocked door, walking across the room etc. are free actions.
  • No double posting.
  • I am the narrator, so do not skip ahead in time, invent other characters etc.
  • I'm also the GM, so I reserve the right to alter these rules at any time.
  • All other guild rules apply.


Narration, Attributes, & Abilities:



Each narrator post (my posts) will have an inventory and a list of abilities. Abilities that are struck through have already been used. They may be used after they are cleared. He will also have some basic statistics to let you know how our friend is holding up. These stats may increase or decrease over time.

HP: Health Points, when they reach 0, Hurston is about to die.
Brawn: Physical strength.
Brains: Mental capacity, including intelligence and cognition.
Weird: Supernatural acumen. 'Magic' to the less informed.

This is based on a world I was going to use for another roleplay. Dig around the Polyvault in my sig, and you might find it. Thanks for reading.
