I would like to try and get in on this, since I believe you said there was still room.

Nathan Perchesky the swashbuckler
Description: Nathan always had trouble sticking to anything that didn't involve, danger, ungodly dangerous stunts, and violence, so when he joined the army, and found it boring, he deserted, ending up here looking for adventure and the chance to beat someone up while spouting horrible (or witty) one liners the entire time he does it.
Clichés: Swashbuckler (4), Soldier (4), theif (2)

Hope that works in some general sense.

[EagleV]

You can join, just post something about you joining the group whenever you see fit

[tehstefan]

Something like this?

I overhear the conversation, and walk over, asking "Hey, there room for one more here? Sounds like you could use the bodies at least."

[Katsuun]

The detective wandered around the tavern, slightly confused, while listening to the mans offer. After mulling over it for a second, he responded:

"Yes, well that's a mighty good deal your offering me there, yes I will join you in your endeavor. And once I'm done, perhaps you could help me with my own little spot of trouble?"

He examined himself, then realized he had several important things missing from his person. He turned back to the old man, gesturing with his finger for emphasis.

"I will need a magnifying glass, silver handle, a trench coat, plaid if possible, and a pipe with a supply of tobacco, if you would be so kind."

He then turned to examine his fellows... and shuddered. He hoped he could do it on his own, if at all possible. Some of them scared him witless, especially the undead one.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

"Okay, full list of stuff I need: Two six-shooters, a cowboy hat, a cloak, a robe and pointy hat (stars optional) a staff, some of those old-time magic tomes, a lab coat, generic lab equipment, odd chemicals, and some beakers + vials."

[NUKE9.13]

I shall put the extra die in Space Pirate.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Are we really making a list of equipment?
If so:
Lightsaber + batteries. (required, not essential: Space Pirate)
Plasma Blaster + batteries (required, not essential: Space Pirate)
Dark red robes w/ flame motif (required, not essential: Fire Mage)
Captain's hat (required, not essential: Charismatic Leader)
Grapple with rope.
Matches and kindling.
Rations.
Bits and Bobs (knife, string, compass, screwdriver, little pieces of metal, chewing gum, and other small objects that any decent space pirate has in his backpack.)

"Can we bleeeding go already? Or are we going to sit here blabbing all day?"

[EagleV]

You don't make a list of equipment. You say what you want, and you hope you get it.

[NUKE9.13]

You don't make a list of equipment. You say what you want, and you hope you get it.

Well I should have most of that stuff already. Unless our characters are naked. All he might not have would be batteries and his hat. Which he's asked for.

[EagleV]

Everyone has posted, so it's time for turn two.

Now, you'll have to convince the old man to buy stuff for you. I will use clichés as I think they would fit, please PM me if you disagree.

You don't have stuff to start with, to keep it fair.

Results:

4d6: 6 [4d6=2,2,1,1] (tough luck, I'm sorry)
"What? I would give a firearm to an undead? Go rot in hell, ye smelly dog"

4d6: 15 [4d6=5,3,1,6]
"A sword? Well, you won't harm anyone, your arm will fall of before you use it, and I promised."

You are now the proud owner of a simple iron sabre. You can name it if you wish.

"A new staff, some test tubes, a good six-shooter, and one of those old western hats."

"Two six-shooters, a cowboy hat, a cloak, a robe and pointy hat (stars optional) a staff, some of those old-time magic tomes, a lab coat, generic lab equipment, odd chemicals, and some beakers + vials."

Difficulty:

Cliches:
Cowboy half (again, charming), Sorcerer half (look into my eyes...) = 3 dice
(Yes, I know those test tubes are impossible, but a high enough roll might grant you something similar)

"I can give you this stick, but for magical powers..."

3d6: 12 [3d6=2,4,6]

You now have a dead twig, a beer glass, a set of darts, a cloack and a pink wool cap.

Spoiler: Armok (click to show/hide)

"What is the location, and other properties of the castle, what obstacles will we have to face in order to get there, and do you posses any other exposition about this plot?"

Difficulty:
Location 10, Obstacles 20, Other info has no target - amount of info depends on roll.

Mathematician (half, for calculating how much you can ask) (rounded up), cook (smelling good, like pie)

4d6: 11 [4d6=6,1,2,2]
"Well, they say everyone who dwells there sooner or later gets caught by a lady of ice. Her eyes deep as the mountains high, her skin white as snow, her body smooth as my Barbara used to be when we played in the fields..."

You get a map, posted below. Very incomplete, but you can tell me 'mark this thingy we found there' and I, as your humble servant, will.

"Some triple C fusion batteries and a decent hat"

"Lightsaber + batteries. (required, not essential: Space Pirate)

Dark red robes w/ flame motif (required, not essential: Fire Mage)
Captain's hat (required, not essential: Charismatic Leader)

Grapple with rope.
Matches and kindling.
Rations.
Bits and Bobs"

Difficulty:
Rations, tinderbox and rope are granted for the whole group, grapple isn't. I mean, you have a cowboy, who needs a grapple?
Futurestuff and batteries (I take it these are the C fusions?) 25 each, robes and hat 10 each, but even if you fail that, you already have clothes, so don't worry.

Clichés:
Space pirate (half, for merchandizing), Charismatic leader

4d6: 15 [4d6=6,5,3,1]
"Well, I can give you a longsword, but what in hell a lazer is..."

4d6: 15 [4d6=4,4,6,1]

"Flame motive? I still have one of those, there you go"

4d6: 11 [4d6=3,5,1,2]

So you're clothed and basically have the ancestors of your modern weaponry.

[Katsuun]

"Yes, this will do quite nicely. Thank you, kind sir, we shall begin posthaste."

Taking the time to carefully don his trench coat, smooth out any wrinkles, and light his pipe, he began inhaling on it as he turned to his fellows. Palming his magnifying glass, he began to appraise them as he asked:

"So, what to do from here chaps?"

He would follow them once they reached a consensus on their plan of action.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

Blast, but that cloak is magnificent.

"In any case I say that we need some kind of transportation, possibly airship."

[NUKE9.13]

Ah-guh-buh-What?
What is this slab of metal?
Does this pipe thing use ammo?
I bet this 'sword' don't even have 'The Force' auto retrieval built in!
Bah.
"Thank you ever so much, old man. One question, please. How do you change the colour of this here blade?"

[EagleV]

Added map. Also, My respect for everyone who ever GM'd a forum rp can only increase

[tehstefan]

Walking up to the man, I ask him "You think there might be a way you part with another sword perhaps? I need a weapon after all."

[SingularByte]

I'd like to join too.
