I've had this idea in my head for a while, so who would like to join an high fantasy RPG? Magic would be in, naturally, and everyone would control a single character. Medieval or quasi-medieval technology. I'll start with 8 people. The initial part (I'm not going to spoil any details of what I've got planned) would have you as part of a mercenary guild/group in a human town, but things may change. ((Once Part 1 starts, put Out of Context material in double parentheses))
If you wish to join, post:
