Why is the sun like bread? It rises in the yeast, and sets in the waist. Haha! Isn't that so cute? Join my RP or more puns will come.

What's the difference between a Hollywood actor and a piece of driftwood? One is Justin Timberlake. The other is timber, just in a lake. Hahathisiswhati'mdoinginsteadofwriting

Hey, folks: I've just kicked off an RP, a fantasy where you can worldbuild as much as you can adventure. So if, like me, you like worldbuilding nearly as much as writing, check out Pilgrim's Caravan

That moment when losing a character in a rougelike makes you want to shed tears. No backup. It's gone.

Bio

Current RP I want you to join: roleplayerguild.com/topics/191461-car…

Hey y'all. I've been at this for about 10 years, and I've played a lot of kinds of RP. I like fantasy and sci-fi the most, just because they give me the most to play around with, but I'm cool with almost anything. I just like writing.

(I'm also trying to slowly break into writing as a profession, but apparently that's not enough work for me, so I'm here too. I'm starting to think this place is just where I get out all my bad ideas)

Are these pictures 'Too Anime', then? Ignore the modern clothing on the second one.

And yes, I'll resize the pictures later.


Eh, if it's important to you to use them, I can allow it.

@Expendable

Ilyana is approved. You went really comprehensive on those items, my gosh! But ye, I think she'll vibe well with some of our other characters, like mayhaps Myra.

@XoXKieroBombXoX

You know, your CS challenged me a bit. The whole 'cog for a head' initially made me feel like he's too steampunk for this medieval fantasy RP. But I do see that he is given life by magic, not science or technology, and it is a mage that brings him back as well. So, I think we can accept it under the grounds that he's essentially a machine man that is animated by mystic stuffs, and not a true robot.

I would ask, though, that we could remove the suit and bowler hat combo- again, it just feels too steampunk-y, and thus a little out-of-place in this genre.

@Tortoise, Are Anime Faceclaims permitted? I think we have at least one or two OCs with an Anime-adjacent picture.


In a previous RP I ran, I put a soft limit on anime stuff, so that the game wouldn't start to feel too much like an anime RP. I still have that sentiment, but I don't mind one or two characters with anime-adjacent pics.

Also, what would be more appealing to you? A Mage-Knight seeking adventure yet trying to flee past trauma, an Ex-Street Urchin with goals to become a Merchant Prince, an exiled Prince (the royalty kind) who wants to take back his dead father's throne, or a political reformer who wants more power to the cities and merchants in order to upend the feudal system?


I mean, you just listed four really good ideas. They all appeal to me; but if I had to pick one, I like the ex-urchin or the mage-knight the most.

Your Mage-Knight works well because a lot of people probably do join the Caravan to escape past trauma. And, honestly? I have a soft spot for both knights and for magic-warrior fusions. This one legitimately feels like a character I would want to play.

But the Urchin would bring an interesting new element to this RP, in that they want to become a Merchant Prince. I mentioned in the first post that the Caravan engages in a lot of trading, so having an ambitious merchant character feels like a good fit. Every city we go to, I can imagine them trying to establish connections and scoping out the markets.

Either of them, I'd say, could work really well here.

I'm just keeping an eye on this for now but fuck I am so interested. @Tortoise what is your worlds interpretation of kobolds, I'd love to be a plucky little reptilian who likes shinies.


Well, what do you want kobolds to be? Whatever you write first become the canon, so it's totally up to you. Like Magus said:

I'm kinda drawn into the prospect that we're building the world from scratch. It's so tempting.

Home from work. Gonna wait a lil while before I start up readin' through the sheets, mostly cause I wanna get the chance to work on my own. He's a half-vampire monk who can speak to the wind and the stars and gosh dang it he's the coolest thing I've ever done and I'mma cry if I can't work on him.

We're so eager for this game that we stayed up late working. Sorry for the long sheet.


There's no need to apologize! I prefer detailed sheets; I just know from previous experiences that players can't be forced to produce them. You gotta allow people to make it brief if they want to.

Question; are multiple OCs allowed?

If not, I'll settle on just one of my many ideas.

@Tortoise


As many as you can handle!

I'm interested. Can I still join or is it full?


It'll never be full, if I have any say about it.

My gosh, guys, is this what happens when I sleep?

I gotta go to work for a bit, but I'll be back soon-ish. It's a slow day, and I'm a lil sick, so I'll have a good excuse to make my escape and get back here :P I'll review y'all's sheets then.

Love this idea! Working on a CS ASAP.


Coolio! We've moved over to an OOC now, so you can drop your CS in there whenever you're ready: roleplayerguild.com/topics/189423-pil…

Can't believe I just missed this one at the Interest Check. I liked the premise, is there space to join?


Always! And don't feel any rush on your sheet, we can accept folks even after the RP starts.
