Chronicles of Elchandaar. Recruiting Closed
« on: September 30, 2012, 08:43:54 am »

Welcome, to the chance of a lifetime. The chance to grab a spot in the chronicles of Elchandaar.


Elchandaar is a roleplaying game, run on a Homebrew based on a throw and keep system. It's running in a richly detailed, original setting, and is now looking for a handful of new players. That is, because two of our players sadly had to take on their duties in the military, and thus we rarely get enough players on the table to run a session.


Note that this is not technicaly a forum-game, as it is not taking place on the Forums. The current players however, consist entirely of forumites, and we are hoping to stay in that tradition. The actual game takes place on the IRC-channel #botg on newnet.net (same server as the bay12 channel).


Usual playtime is Saturday afternoon, european time. Character sheets are shared via dropbox.

[Spoiler=what is dropbox?]
Dropbox is a programm that stores files online, and makes them accessible from a list of computers. If you decide to join the game, the GM will send your dropbox account an invite, and you will be able to access all files needed for the game.


Note that dropbox is OPTIONAL. If you do not want to install it, though it is recommended, you can still access your character sheet on the wiki. However in that case, you will have to keep track of your health on your own, and the GM will keep track of it on his own, same goes for when you gain exp and increase your stats. Since there have been problems in the past where the GMs sheet did not match the players sheet, dropbox is the prefered method.



Interested players, please visit us at #botg on newnet.net or via PM


There, all your questions will be answered. If you wish to give this game a testrun, refer to Istrian, our GM. Or if he is busi, I guess any of the players will do.
We will run you through character creation, and once enough people have expressed interest, Istrian will run one or two test-session, so you can check wether this game is right for you, and so we can check if you are right for the game.




I am looking forward to your interest

One thing of importance to be noted is that this is a non-heroic setting. PCs and NPCs are treated exactly the same rules-wise and universe-wise, PC-dom does not give a special higher status or ways to get around laws and traditions. A well-prepared plan is worth more than being the world's best master of a trade.

As part of making a new character, I require that there be some kind of connection with an existing PC, to ease joining in the game. This is to be discussed with the players.

A connection should be no problem. Many of the characters traveled a lot off-screen, so still almost all character concepts are possible

the long starting post might seem intimidating, but rest assured, the mechanics of the game are simple.


character creation is the thing that takes the longest, and we'll gladly guide you through it. after that, the game is smooth sailing, in regards to mechanics

Game looks great and there's a huge amount of variety in how you can play it and what kind of character you will make.

This DOES seem interesting... But I'm not sure of the difference between timezones. I live in eastern Australia, so what is the difference there exactly?

depending on wether you are in the east or the west, it's between 8 and 10 hours ahead of us




if you dont mind playing from midnight to 5 am, sure


but to be honest, australian time is probably the most incompatible

there have been 4 people showing interest so far, 2 of which joined, and one is still undecided.




I am only bumping this to keep it in sight of people, else the threat would sink too fast, because the people who want to join dont post here, they jump on the IRC channel.




also hey, shameless self-bumping works, considering we've been going at an actually stable rate of 1 recruitee a day.


if zako was not in australia, there'd even be a fifth. so get your head out of your ass, stop stroking your e-peen all over who has the coolest forum game going on, and keep calm
