Just a band of friends hoping to make a mark on the world
« on: August 23, 2010, 04:42:39 pm »

A band of friends hopeing to make a mark on the world...

This game is heavily based on Qwertyuiopas' game 'Just some group of people, out to make a name for themsleves in the world...' Find it Here. . The main purpose is the same,its freeform although you can make goals for your characters such as making a town, becoming a famous individual by any means. Or owning a guild, discovering a new type of magic or becoming very rich.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your friends and yourself have traveled to the capitol of Ethyrum. However you have stopped. You would need money, fame, and materials to achieve what you were hoping for in the capitol. Instead you have settled where the mountain meets the forest. You are a week away from Epitaina and you seem to be in the middle of nowhere. However you did see a village two days ago. You have managed to build a building, by using a hand axe to chop down trees and tools to build with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Game lore.


Country names:

Ethyrum   -- It is a country that is ruled by a King and Queen. It has a great location, there is a place where mountains meet sea meet forest. That is where the Capitol is, being built of wood and stone in the forest where the castle is situated in the mountains, being carved from the rock.

Town names

epitaina- Capitol of Ethyrum, home of loyal palace. Is very large.

Magic:

It exists and there are several branches. You dont know the spefifics though. Anyone can use it with time, around a week to a month gaining the smallest amount of knowledge about it, it apparantly takes years to master.There is one known branch to you and that is alchemy, the  usage of magical ingreadients and mundane ingrediants to form potions and other mixes.

(This shall get more detailed the more you find out about the world.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your peasants have no skills, however you can steer them towards any goal that you would like. keep in mind that you are in a forest near to a mountain (1-2 days on foot) if you want to resorce gather. You must also eat and drink although you have a week of food and water. You can play this from the original to a dungeon crawler if I need to.

I was sad when Qwerty let his die.
In.

Character sheet
Name: Frederick XXII
Color: red
Reason: Frederick is the son of two serfs. After a hard 16 years of growing up on a communal farm, he saw a stage performer using "magic". Not understanding that it was just sleight of hand, he decided over the next few weeks that his life was meaningless. He ran away to become a great magician himself, and then better the world with magic. Not knowing where to begin, he eventually met up with a group of people heading for the capital.
Having spent most of his life on a farm, he is strong and has a good amount of endurance, but he is naive and knows little about the world. He isn't stupid, just ignorant.
number 1-7: 1

First action: Look for edible herbs and berries.

I suspect you've never tried doing many illegal things yet in your game. The second the CCS knows you're "active", they'll come down on you like the hammer of God.
