Bard Quest! The succession legend.
« on: February 20, 2016, 09:42:03 pm »

    Now that DF Adventure mode is finally fleshed out to the point I'd hoped it'd be someday, I've been enjoying playing it for a few days now. I've failed to make a successful bard twice now: The first falling to stupidity, and the second to a sneak attack by a Midnight Man's Wife. Alas poor Nydhart Silverytongue, I had such high hopes. That gave me an idea, it's not entirely an original idea, but I think it's going to be a well received one.

    Yes, it's a succession adventure! You have one week to train up a bard and
become famous. Writing songs and poems that will spread around the globe!

The rules are simple and few:
Quote
  • Sign up for a turn
  • When your turn is called, download the save and create your bard. Spec however you like! Warrior bards and pacifist bards will be judged only by their output!
  • Post your bard's name, hometown, and civilization before you begin!
  • Play for a real-life week or until your demise, whichever comes first.
  • If your bard does die, please post a screencapture of his death scene.
  • After a week, if your bard is alive. Retire in the nearest town!
  • Upload the save and link it for the next player
  • Tell the story of your bard!

This world was set with no historical discoveries by default, so everything is up to you to discover, record, and sing about! You are the historians and the entertainers of the world!

Nope. Feel free to have demigods running around singing songs and bludgeoning things to death with their harps and lyres. It might well be necessary just to be able to have some combat skills to go with your musical ability. This world is still very wild!

I'm going to have to drop out for a while. Going to be very busy soon. Maybe I might take my turn later, but I'll definitely be watching. :)

Was supposed to be this week, but I got preoccupied. If I don't fall asleep, I'm going to spend tonight making up for all of my turn I haven't done yet and then it should be ready to pass off by Monday. Let me just set this to notify so I don't forget.

Certainly! I'll add you to the list. It looks as though my bard will not be getting famous this turn.
