Roll to Become a Hero: See, bees are trained to fly haphazardly
« on: December 25, 2016, 10:47:39 pm »

It is a dark time in the lands as the Demon Lord's armies have begun to lay siege to the human kingdoms, war rages everywhere and news of another battle being lost, another village be slaughtered, comes more often then news of a victory for the human side. It's a time where heroes are needed, and when many will step forward to try and become those legendary heroes legends are told about, songs are sung for, and people pay respects to even hundreds of years after their great acts. With the rise in number of adventurers striving towards carving their name into the history of this world a bastion for these would-be heroes has been founded near the heart of the continent.

Founded in the ruins of the old fort, Fort Gelden, is a base for a group of these heroes to be. Previously scattered, or perhaps off on their adventures a group of six has gathered here to carry on where the legacy was left ...

-----------------------------------------

Roll to Become a Hero is a fairly simple game wherein the objective is to become a hero by meeting three requirements, the first of which is to reach Level 10, the second to commit at least one Great Act, and to come to own a Legendary Item of some sort. Throughout the game you will take part in various missions chosen from a small set I offer to you each time you complete one, during these missions your aim will generally be to gain experience, items, and attempting to commit a Great Act worthy of the title hero.

I will be taking six players in total for the moment, three of the slots are currently "Seeded" spots which are for players from the game before it was rebooted into this. If not enough of the active players from it sign-up then a sheet will be used to fill the spot.

So here's him.

I can do anything I want, as long as I accept the consequences.

By my count, you'll have to be waitlisted regardless of if someone gets that third "seeded" spot. But by all indications, this is going to be lethal as shit, so feel free to waitlist. :D

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

You are not, there is a waitlist and people should have a fairly high chance of dying all things told :v Put in a sheet, you might end up in the game sooner than you think.
