Life is a straight line, from cradle to grave you put yourselve into certain routines. It's hard to tell sometimes where foregone logic that you didn't even compute was your leash or your life guard and should you act against the shiver of social anxiety seeps into your head like dripping honey. It was an existential night, that was for sure, and you can't remember if you like the rain or not. You're sure you said you loved it at some point but you haven't left the house since it started.
Tonight the darkness beyond the street lights were more interesting than TV. Out there was something you couldn't see and for a brief moment you had a fantasy that it was something new and unexpected. When the rain cleared; there would be your salvation. You closed your eyes and thought about it hard, picturing it like a lovers face and when you opened them.....darkness. The power had gone out.
The basement was gone and the breakers had vanished, instead despite how many times you closed and opened the door the stairs to your shoddy underground abode were now replaced with an endless descent into some discarded reality that somehow had loaded into itself in.
You descend
Down into the Dungeons
OOC
Overview:
This is a dungeon game, you will descend into an otherwordly dungeon to explore. Meet crazy monsters, expeirence odd events, loot and maybe...die...or become a god?
This is more focused on the game than it is on writing, so this is taking the title of CASUAL rp literally. The game comes first above the prettyness or tidyness of your writing, but I will still expect good content and a certain quality of grammar and spelling. You'll meet genies, you'll hit gremlins, you'll wonder why you left your comfy modern home to get pissed on by angry gnomes in the dark only to find you can't go back up the stairs without hitting an infinite loop.
Rules:
1: post at least two paragraphs standard and below 7 peferably.
2: you are expected to post at least TWICE a day. If you don't have an excuse to post, you get time wounds which are lower your max HP permanently. You will eventually die. You recover from time wounds weekly if your posting keeps up with standard.
3: you are not expected to put out great material, your posts can be just "ok" this is part game, not a novel....BUT...if you do post consistently well, expect rewards for good RP'ing. Keep in mind, the content of your posts will always supercede form. (plot/character development over fashion)
4: this is a game, expect to die or prospers by your own decisions or...by the decisions of others.
5: typical rules, don't metagame, power game, god mode ectr.
6: when you post: include a summary of your game actions in a hider "I hit the monster with my crowbar" and include a mention of any players-including me- you've interacted or talked of.
How it functions:
All characters have 5 points to spend on main attriubes(below) with a base being 1 for all starting off. 2 points to spend on skills-further down-
Strength: Determines how hard you hit, what you can lift, swimming, climbing and general physical work.
Dexterity: Determines how fast you move, how accuracte you are in throwing stuff, jumping, rolling, percision tools like scapels, lockpicks, quills ectr.
Endurance: Determines how healthy and sturdy you are physically. taking hits, resisting stuns, coping with bad smells or conditions in general. Endurance allows you to use things you can't normally use for a short period if higher than 3-1 point for each post- such as armor that's too heavy or shooting with a broken hand.
Intelligence: how well you compute stuff, dosen't determine what you know. Being intelligent gives you hints-or sometimes outright answers- to certain puzzles or scenarios. You may deduce things that fly over other people heads such asn artifact having egyptian symbols on it and not just "funny old pictures"
Will: determines your resistence to sanity effects, mind control, fear effects and so on. Will also, gives you(when higher than 3) an extra point in endurance/strength when you are in a life threatening scenario and about to die eg: you get stabbed. You gain a final chance to roll endurance against bleeding to death.
Skills:
one point equals 1 specific area: EG: french history, classical physics, mechanics, marksmanship (guns), nutrition.
To be a qualified proffesional level in a feild you must have 3 skill points in it. Exotic info: like french history, only requires 1 point and you are considered learned...well..learned enough on it.
Inventory: your characters get 2 inventory items of a mundane nature: can be found in a normal person house such as a flash light. A desk lamp. A chocolat bar, ectr.
you get to take one useful item with you: a handgun and 1 clip of ammo for example, or a first aid kit or a backpack.
Without any sort of backpack your inventory space is 3 items-depending on size-
MOVING
Moving can be odd in forum games, and, not wanting use DnD rules that many of us may find over bearing who haven't read it before. Basically, you say something with intent "we walk to the end of the hall" then you can talk or do whatever you're are doing in the post as you.
If I interrupt you, then you didn't make it because something blocked you a monster attacked ectr. If I don't, I will simply update you that you are now at the end of the hall.
