Intro

Hello! I thought I'd run a RtD, I've done one before in the past that had some players but life got in the way so I'mma start a new one.

This RtD will have you as magicians, what magic you use is up to you. It will be in a standard high fantasy setting of elves and orcs.

How I'm running it

This is a rough guide and will probably change, I will make a post when they are changed

You get to post one action, please make it the first thing on your post, like 'I want to research a spell of SUPER AWESOME MEGA DEATH...' and that's the basics, you can also post how your doing after your action for example '...by going to my wizards tower and looking through my spell books'.

I'm using a D6:
1: Oh dear... something cocked up but REALLY bad.
2: Well that could of gone better, a lot better.
3: Failure, but the only thing hurt was your pride.
4: Success!
5: Success and strawberries!
6: EPIC SUCCESS.

I want to start with 5 players, rules for inactivity are I will wait 3 days for all players to make their posts or I will automate you. Unless I'm told before hand, you get 3 auto turns before you get pulled out.

If I've not missed something, please tell me.

What I want from players

Name: (Easy enough)
School of magic: (Something general, whilst it's fun to be a mage of explosions... it gets boring quick)
Personality: (Basically if your good evil or grey, as much or less as you want here)
Additional info: (Want to already have a wizards tower? Do you have a familiar? Do you like to eat turnips but only on Tuesdays?)

Example:
Name: Errot Gregory
School of magic: Runic - Can inscribe runes onto parchment to channel magical energies
Personality: A shinning example of a model wizard, always helping his fellow wizards in studies and willing to share techniques.
Additional info: A human mage, always accompanied by a 4ft golem made of rock, runes of magic floating around it.

Players:

Spoiler: scapheap (click to show/hide)

Name: Adokul Bearcharger (Random gen)
School of magic: Void
Personality: A shut-in, most don't know him and the few who do wish they did not.
Additional info: Has a large(Double a grown man)crab familiar which seem to be made of red gems.

Spoiler: Fniff (click to show/hide)

Name: Brandon Lundgren
School of magic: Demonic
Personality: Ordinary young man. Seems to suffer from bouts of extreme depression, though the bouts seem to be decreasing in number and increasing in distance, but that doesn't make him an optimist. He doesn't seem to understand how to use his powers, claiming they just happen based off how he feels. Sometimes, you wonder if Brandon's controlling the demons or if the demons are controlling Brandon.
Additional info: When Brandon feels a very strong negative emotion such as sadness or anger, there is a chance he will involuntarily summon demons that will attempt to destroy the source of the negative emotion.

Spoiler: Greenstarfanatic (click to show/hide)

Name: Alani Arnalei
School of magic: Earth/Stone
Personality: A shy girl. She often spends hours away from her hut, in the woods, and takes pleasure in the great outdoors. She usualy wears a green and brown cloak, to feel one with her surroundings. She's still learning her powers, and has accidentally destroyed a tree or two in her pursuits for knowledge, but she thinks she's getting closer to magic mastery. She's taught herself everything she knows so far.
Additional info: Alani has several stone creatures, such as birds and rabbits, that follow her wherever she goes. They are quite keen to being thrown.

Okay 5 players~ If anyone else wants to drop a profile down I'll throw it on a waiting list and put it in if I feel I can handle more players.

I'll be putting up the first game post up tomorrow (I'm GMT+0 btw) and we can get rolling.

@SeriouseConcentrate: Alchemy is fine.

Also quick question, how story driven is this?

Story wise I'll throw down a generic over-arching story, but you can ignore it if you want and do your own thing.

In the land of Allesia, it's all pretty dandy. Sure there's orcs, goblins and some trolls running around pillaging and even some odd fella's all dressed up in spikes and holding blood stained skulls but hey, the races of humans, dwarfs and elves are all working together at least!

In fact it's getting a tad boring around here.

In till one day you all receive a letter with a very spiffy looking wax seal on it. If you choose to read it you discover it from the King! Hot damn, he must want to make you the court wizard!

"Dear Mage,
                I am writing to you in a time of desperate need. My wife, Queen Julia,has been kidnapped from my very own castle! After a week of putting my knights on the task they have nothing to show for it. I ask you to look into this dilemma for me and will reward you with gold and appointing you the royal court wizard.

All I can offer you in ways of clues is that my old court mage, Rajak the Star Seer, disappeared 2 days before hand, he must be responsible! He had ties with the elves, never trusted them myself, your best bet I would say is to look into who his connections are, either in the capital city or the elves.

Please be careful, Rajak is a powerful mage and will have taken precautions to directly spying on him and his movements.

Yours Sincerely
King Edward the VI"

...huh, well how are you going to go about finding this Rajak?
