Let's Play Kingdoms!
« on: October 28, 2011, 03:29:28 pm »

Ran into the Kingdoms RPG here on Bay12 and it has intrigued me.  The basis of the game is that you start off with a party of 5 characters (Warriors, Archers, Priests or Mages) and essentially try to become the evil overlords of the world.  Or benevolent saviours, as the case might be.

I'm inclined to make this a community effort instead.  First we'll need a party name, one that emphasises the general thrust of our party.

What is our party's mission/goal? - Personally I'm inclined towards a sort of witch-hunter party that goes after magical creatures (no wizards, perhaps?) but I'm open to suggestions.  Some sort of religious sect might be interesting to play, or a class set that is specifically unbalanced.

Who are our protagonists? - I'm open to players adopting characters, by the way.  You can just put your own char here, so for example I could have a character named 'Percy von Trubaldsome' without any issues.

Characters need some statistics:

Name: e.g. Percy von Trubaldsome, Tearakudo a'Valti, Erik Gunthersen, Jack Roberts, Konstantin Stanislavski.

Race: Human, Elf or Dwarf.

Gender: Male or Female.  Sorry, no neuters, unless your backstory is that of a castrati!

Class: Warrior, Archer, Priest, Mage

Attributes can go up to 18, but there are only 30 points to distribute.

Strength: What you would expect.  Melee weapons.
Agility: Dexterity.  Ranged weapons.
Intelligence: Smarts (?).  Wizard spellcaster stat.
Divinity: Favour with the gods, luck.  Priest spellcaster stat.
Constitution: HP and movement per turn.

Background/Personality: Purely fluff, but if I decide to do this as a story LP I'll take it into account.



Once we've got initial suggestions, I shall begin!

Looking good!  Need 3 more characters and more suggestions on party goals, then we'll begin.  If there isn't a clearly supported single goal, I'll use my judgement.  Let's aim for a start in... oh, eighteen hours or so.  When I'm back from work.
