Twilight Princess: The RPG

I've made a new Zelda Interest Check. Though it's not Twilight Princess, it's still in the same universe and uses a more lenient system. Feel free to make your interest known!

Legend of Zelda: Chain of Fate (Risus-based Zelda RP)

Three pieces to a whole.
Power. Courage. Wisdom.
A tyrant. A hero. A princess.

These three elements are as fundamental to the inner workings of the world as physics itself. Throughout the ages, there has always been a Hero of Time, an incarnation of Ganon, and the Princess. Ganon will always seize control of the land. The Princess will always be subjugated by Ganon. The Hero of Time will always strive to defeat Ganon and rescue the Princess. Recently, however, the cycle has been disrupted. Through unusual circumstances, no Hero of Time has arisen and the Princess has disappeared. With no one to stop him, the Demon King Ganon has risen to power unabated. Though he is satisfied with such an outcome, something sinister is occurring in the land of Hyrule completely unrelated to Ganon's machinations.

It seems this violation of the cycle has serious consequences. Now, a band of heroes must find a way to not only defeat the Demon King, but secure the safety of Hyrule from this mysterious cataclysm.

This is an RP loosely-based off The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's plot, but set in an entirely different form of Hyrule. This Hyrule shares little to no similarities with most other instances of the land, being similar in name only.

We will be using Risus, (http://connect.ala.org/files/Risus15.pdf) a very RP-friendly and rules-light system. In Risus, nearly everything is governed by rolls of 5d6, ensuring that players can fluff themselves up as much as they want, without worrying about mechanically gimping themselves. All in all, Risus is built for a play-by-post experience, and is perfect for a casual player.

Twilight Princess: The RPG

Considering how the GM has been absent for a LONG period of time, I'd say the game is over. If you all want, I can create a new thread with a similar idea, but a different, more RP-friendly system.

The Elementals (Chemical elemental characters)

Yeah I'm really confused by the Saya post. When did she get on the train?

@Xenonia

It appears she's been riding on top of the train the whole time. And then she jumped in through the window Chrome wasn't using and was immediately attacked by Jaden and the rest of you, for some reason. And then she began wondering what her good friend Kami had planned for her, for some equally-obtuse reason.

The Elementals (Chemical elemental characters)

@Scarlet Angel94, could you please stop with the gratuitous Japanese? As a third-generation Japanese-American, your Super Friends-tier replacement of random words in a sentence with bastardized translations is immensely offensive to me and my parent's language.

If Saya can speak english, make her speak english. If Saya isn't speaking English, then put her dialogue in [brackets] or <carats> to indicate that she's speaking a separate language. That's what pretty much every writer does when trying to demonstrate that their character is speaking a foreign language, and it's much less offensive than making it seem like your character has a severe brain disorder.

The Elementals (Chemical elemental characters)

WAIT I thought they were already on the train?

@RomanAria

Who, Jaden's friends or Jaden's posse of merry murderous magical girls (i.e. you)?

If the former, they're currently at the Midnight Pub & Cafe. If the latter, they're on a train headed to London.

The Elementals (Chemical elemental characters)

@Xenonia
Oh, my god. And you say I'M jumping the gun. I jest, I jest, in case that isn't expressly clear. Remember what happened to the last person who actually liked Chloe. He wound up dead of chlorine poisoning.

@RomanAria

Pah, how many people have actually liked Chloe? Dozens!

How many have wound up dead from chlorine poisoning? One!

Statistically-speaking, Radito Danito is in the clear, here!

The Elementals (Chemical elemental characters)

So, wait, how did the Japanese chick figure out that the group is headed to Italy just from hearing "Down the street towards the Ink Well Coffee Shop...."? That's not even in the right compass direction!

Massive Multiversal Crossover

I don't recall every stating anything like that. It's important, yes, but it doesn't hold the multiverse together or anything like that, and neither does the location it's placed in.

@VitaVitaAR

I must have misinterpreted what information we were given, my apologies! But yeah, I'd say trying to keep such an obvious endgame goal as "unambiguously evil organization wants to destroy the unambiguously good organization by collecting Macguffins" a secret was a silly move.

Massive Multiversal Crossover

Or they could be grabbing, I don't know, parts for a superweapon? Which could just be to destroy Yggdrasil? It's been stated from the start that they're not in this for power or money even if they might get some of that on the side, they're absolutely going for the destruction of the UMMA. Taking out Yggdrasil is the logical way to do this.

I'm not saying whether anyone's guess is right or wrong, but seriously.

I'd much rather reveal things organically rather than just post everything I have in mind. The only mistake I can possibly think of is not exactly clarifying what object is intended to do the destroying of the UMMA, but I didn't want to just tell everyone that.

@VitaVitaAR

Hey, wait. Isn't the Yggdrasil basically at the epicenter of the multiverse, and acts as sort of a junction for multiversal travelers? Wouldn't attacking it with sufficient force to destroy it be basically like launching a SCUD missile at a beetle on a tree trunk? The UMMA would be destroyed, but I certainly think the multiverse would be heavily damaged as a result.

Sort of like destroying a Mass Relay in Mass Effect, you know?
