NOUN PLACE! I HATE TO BE THAT PLUMBER.
« on: March 29, 2013, 08:50:37 pm »

WELCOME to NOUN PLACE. A GAME about NOUN PLACES. And PLACE NOUNS. NOUN PLACE. PLACE NOUN. NOUN PLACE PLACE NOUN PLACE NOUN. NOUN PLACE. Would take too MANY WORDS to EXPLAIN THE RULES. I have CANDY get in the GAME.

...

Alright, I have no idea where this is going, but I kinda want to see. The game will be a very simple dungeon crawler, so simple that instead of using random rolls, it'll be a plain skill-based success system. Basically, does your (rather nonsensical) skill fulfil an arbitrary criteria? Is it high/low/even/odd? If so you pass.

The meat of the game will be the dungeon, with each room being based on a noun and a place for some odd and nonsensical exploring. So you could end up travelling through the Imperfection Parkcentre to the Canceler Shore past the Discriminator Playhouse, facing suitable challenges on the way.

If anyone is interested (God knows why), then we'll start as soon as possible. The maximum number of people I'll take is... the number of people who are interested, I guess. If the game gets too unwieldy or people take too long posting their turns I'll probably put a cap on the number of people and introduce a queue/permadeath system or something.

NOUN PLACE! ST. MACMASTER'S GENERAL
« Reply #10 on: March 30, 2013, 01:04:05 pm »

NOUN PLACE NOUN PLACE PLACE NOUN NOUN NOUN PLACE PLACE NOUN PLACE.

MAN, what an AWESOME PARTY. Did you SEE the ANDREWS SISTERS? So HOT. And then JEFFERSON started SINGING like a BOSS. BEST PARTY EVER. Too BAD you got PISS DRUNK and FORGOT everything. EVERYTHING MAN. EVEN when WASHINGTON took off his TOP and DANCED DRUNKENLY. THAT WAS AMAZING. BEST PRESIDENT EVER.

Now you've waken up in the TOASTER HOSPITAL. A HOSPITAL for TOASTERS? What WACKY and INCONSIDERATE FRIENDS you have. BEDS full of TOASTERS line the WALLS. TOASTER DOCTORS move between them doing DOCTORY stuff. There is a DOOR to the NORTH labelled 'FREE CANDY'. The WESTERN DOOR is BLOCKED by TOASTERS. The SOUTHERN DOOR has a SHINY BRONZE PADLOCK. What's BEHIND the DOOR? I don't KNOW, but it must be AWESOME. The EASTERN WALL is covered in SICKLY GREEN CURTAINS. EWW. Who PICKS these COLOURS? It's like VOMIT MIXED with SNAIL SNOT.


...

After the greatest party in the existence of parties, everyone wakes up in some kind of hospital for toasters, though not everyone was at the party. IcyTea, for instance, was totally getting it on with the Andrews sisters, while MonkeyHead was merely chilling in his cage in the hospital, which was then broken open by the drunken antics of the party-goers. Either way, only fame and fortune awaits all of you, for you have found yourself in NOUN PLACE, a mythical and legendary dungeon that makes as much sense as the US Presidents travelling through time to host the greatest party ever.

The current room everyone finds themselves in is a TOASTER HOSPITAL. Beds are lined up in neat and orderly rows, with sick and broken toasters lying on them while mysterious hospital machines quietly go beep and boop every couple of seconds. The door to the north is labelled 'FREE CANDY' in crudely drawn black markers, which is good because nobody seems to have started with any candy, only a random and no-doubt useless item. The western door in this room is blocked by a large stack of dead toasters, each carefully wrapped in toaster body bags. It'd be a grim and sad sight if, you know, you were a toaster. The southern door to the room is locked with a large bronze padlock, the kind that are invulnerable and are impossible to open without a key. It's probably not the door you all entered from, especially when that jerkbag Andrew Jackson can bend time and space. Besides the toaster doctors wandering around tending to their patients, the only thing interesting in this room is the line of curtains along the eastern wall, through which you can hear a different set of beeps and boops.

"Come on, Sasha! Where there's candy there must be crowbars!"
Rip down the curtains, then go through the free candy door.
