ATTENTION EVERYONE!
We are going to play a game, Bay12. This isn’t your standard, imaginative, innovative, exciting fantasy game that is fair and awesome. No, that’s not good enough for Bay12. Instead I propose we play a different type of fantasy game, an awful, random, cruel, brutal, bloody, downright evil game that the dungeon master has no experience in whatsoever. It’s a dungeons and dragons clone, but without many of the obvious things that make Dungeons and Dragons the main fantasy game of several people. Think of it as living in Boatmurdered, if Boatmurdered was more random. That’s right, more random.
Of course in order to play this game we need to have a background story worthy of this game/role-play. And no I’m not going to simply copy some awful fan fiction from the internet. The story is as follows:
IN A TIME LONG AGO, BUT NOT IN A GALAXY FAR AWAY.
IN A POST APOCALYPTIC MEDIEVAL LAND GONE WILD.
LIVES TWO MAIN FACTIONS, WHO ARE ONLY REALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU.
THE GODS, WHO DECIDED THAT THE WORLD DESERVED TO BE MESSED WITH IN EVERYWAY POSSIBLE.
AND THE HEROES, WHO LIVE TO “SERVE” THE PEOPLE BY LOOTING EVERYTHING.
YOU ARE ONE OF THESE.
THERE’S ALSO ALL SORTS OF WONDERFUL FANTASY CREATURES, INCLUDING DINOSAURS.
NOW, LET US PLAY!
If you are either wondering where the actual story is, or why that didn’t make any sense then you can either live with it or find a better thread. Seriously, there are a lot of them.
Since this is a Dungeons and dragonsesque game we have classes, not stats though, this game works more like the Dwarf fortress system of fighting. Here are the classes:
AHNOLD: The AHNOLD is your standard hack and slash warrior class, with one goal: To kill stuff with a big weapon. Also voiced by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wields more traditional knight weapons (axes, swords).
Shizard: A wizard like character that specifies in all magic’s, magic is potentially random and has a large chance of blowing up your face. (Uses infinity figure dice)
Thieving bastard: You steal things, backstab people, and run away. Truly the most heroic and lawful good people in the world. (knife, dagger, legal technicalities)
Malsurgeon/Apocalyptic death bringer: The white and black magic classes. White magic can heal, yet can cause mutations. Black magic is basically death incarnate with a bit of luck, or it can simply summon a small angry duck that has a hat. (surgery for idiots book and infinity figure dice)
Summoner: You summon things. That’s really all there is to it. You can also shapeshift, but it’s incredibly risky. (Doesn't wield anything).
Useless old fool: The most powerful class, has the ability to randomly do something that anyone else can do each turn, this can
range from victory to attacking your enemies with a spell that makes them much more powerful. (A walking stick). (False teeth of doom).
Bard: You can play a mean lute solo that can be useful or useless; you can also kill people with your awful poetry and fanfictions. (Lute). (Poems). (Access to every fanfiction ever).
You can use other dungeons and dragons classes, and custom classes if you explain them and they’re not too overpowered.
And since this is a fantasy game, we need more than the standard human race. Here are the races.
Human: Find a mirror, look in it.
Elf: Find a mirror, act like a pansy, somehow point your ears, become a nature loving yet people eating hypocrite and then look in that mirror.
Dwarf: Find a mirror, shrink, witness thousands of awful atrocities, grow lots of facial hair and then look into it.
Jal’kratha: Interdimensional amphibious Turtles that have a long snout and wings made out of titanium. They can hover for a while and are about the size of a regular turtle.
God: This can be as you want it to look; this will be explained in depth very, very shortly.
Orc/goblin/troll/demon: You’re an ugly looking guy with nothing to lose. Expect lots of racism against you.
Small shiny pebble: You are a pebble, unless another character carries you everywhere, then you might as well be dead.
Now there is five god spots available, gods are basically immortal super beings that exist to ruin your day. As a god you can do anything but stuff that will instantly end the campaign. This includes killing heroes and other gods. However, all NPCs are open for murdering *hint hint*. If you’re a god you have a devil of sorts which will do the opposite of your goals. For example if you try to mess with thieves then your devil will make everything double in value.
Here is a small character sheet, use this for your characters.
Name: Your characters name.
Species: Your characters species.
Class: Your characters class.
Abilities: Your characters abilities, I will let you make these, but abilities that are too extreme will not be allowed.
Bio:What your character looks like, what it does, whats its motivations etc.
Rules: If these weren’t here this would be total chaos instead of total chaos fun!
1. Sessions are every three days, miss one and your character will be on vacation for the duration of that session. Miss two and your character will be on a really long vacation for the duration of that session. Miss three; your space is then open for someone else. That is of course, unless you have a legitimate reason.
2. Breaking the forum guidelines is an obvious no no.
3. Don’t do anything that will ruin the campaign/ end it immediately.
4. Don’t make anything to overpowered that will basically equals an instant win. If it’s slightly overpowered I will counter your overpowered thing, if you continue to do it then I’m simply sending your character to a void of dark oblivion until you can come out. There is no escape.
5. Have fun, yes, I mean both types of fun.
6. All of you can’t pick pebbles as races; all but one of you can however.
7. I swear to god if anyone becomes a Dragon tamer or starts falling in love with Dragons they will have to face the greatest horror known to this role-play. Well, it’s up there in the top hundred greatest horrors.
Everything else will be explained in the first session basically.
Spaces:
Gods:
1.Kleth'Arash (Karl marx).
2.Gnite'kram (Furtuka)
3.Armok (Zrk2)
3.
4.
5.
Heroes: (There can be an infinite amount of these).
1. Alexander Kyrby (Exkirby).
2.BD (Bdthemag).
Well everyone, have fun and good luck. We will be doing this on the actual thread,
since we don’t really need mapmaker for this. Actually we probably do need mapmaker for this, however there'll be a post of what basically went on in the session and any interesting quotes for reference and sigging purposes.
Until i'm experienced with maptools enough to deal with the campaign, we will be doing it using Quakenet (
http://webchat.quakenet.org/ ). Search #repercussions and it should work out fine.

Important notice regarding gods! There's been some confusion about gods and their exact powers within the game. So here's a list.1.Gods can't kill other gods and players.
2.Gods who have created NPC's can't use the NPCs to break number one.
3. Gods can however cause suffering and indirect harm, for example. God 1 causes a cave-in, trapping hero 1!
4. Your devil can and will interfere at times.
5. Going onto the mortal realm will cause your devil to appear there, and hinder you greatly.
