The Fortress
« on: August 25, 2009, 10:34:35 am »

As I must leave for a few days(though with a laptop), I am starting this idea, and making it into a game later.


The plot:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You and the rest of the army of many civilizations are assaulting a dwarven fortress. You are part of the special squad. The fortress has been condemned by buttertoast, the council of nations as it has been messing with stuff better left untouched, such as mass kitten murder, and plotting to flood the world, with magma, water, or both at many occasions.

As you enter, the floor drops out from beneath you and the rest of the squad, and after a short drop you find yourselves sealed in a room with no way of escape. The walls are an unusual alloy of steel with a faint light blue tint to it. It looks nearly indestructable. It appears the dwarves have made an alloy of steel and a very precious material.

For weeks you tried in vain to escape, all the while faintly able to hear the commotion of normal fortress life.

Then, an hour of pain and screaming coming through the walls.

Then silence.


Whatever happened, the stress of it damaged the room, and the floor crumbles beneath you. You fall again.

Blackness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I only want serious RPers with alot of experience.

Signups are through PMs.


I will try to continue this over the next few days, but it might not be possible. However, I should be back and able to run it full-time by monday. I hope.


Edit: I will judge worthiness to play based on your application.

I am back, and not a single player?

It is now open to discussion, but I have a very good reason not to reveal certain details yet.

A quick note on the plot: the player-characters will survive unharmed, but any number of plot-NPCs will die in the fall leaving only the small handful of players to take on the game. The NPCs will probably break the players' falls quite nicely.

Sign-ups are due ASAP.

If there is no intrest after a few days, I will reveal the entire setting and plot, but will not run the game.

I would join, but I'm not really an RPer and I haven't been feeling motivated to do anything that takes up a lot of time.......

It would play like a RTD without the dice, so you might have time.

And I guess I overstated the RP part.


I just need people who know the basics of stuff. The kind of person who knows not to metagame.



Thanks for helping me realize that what I understood as good RPing might not be what others think, and that I forgot to mention the game-format.

If it isn't strict RP, and has a bit of a RTD feel, I'm in.

I do not have a lot of experience.
I will not have a lot of free time.

That said, this sounds like it could be an excellent game. I would join if you would have me.


Have you read Vaoilis RPG? Is it anything like that? If so, I'm in. I do have enough experience to live in your world, instead of playing a character.

For that viciously bad pun, I'm gonna introduce a NPC named Vlynndar just so that I can kill him of in a cruel and unusual way.
Watermelons are pretty important.

I am hoping to get something like multiworld's turn style, only without using a die to determine outcomes.

Okay, there is a fairly decent amount of intrest, so I will start the game tomorrowish, leaving one turn or so for new players to join(it's hard to distinguish unconsious from dead with only a glance).

For those interested, I will be trying to stick with the current default DF universe, not specifically using anything from a mod.
