Paths: The Beginning
« on: September 24, 2011, 05:16:03 am »

First of all sorry for the crappy name.

Anyway, the game is about surviving in a fantasy world...kinda. You guys will pick a character, and we'll control his life. Just like any other suggestion game, k?. One more thing, I'm going to try and run a serious game.

Character Sheet
Name:
Occupation:
Age:
Backstory:
Starting Locations (not going to tell you at all about these places. Gotta learn that yourself):
Elos
Herus
Palat-Eskos
Kyrium
Alimbas
Urma
Dejl

If no one posts any sheet, I'll default to my own.

Q&A
Spoiler: And the RTD? (click to show/hide)

Name: Semah the Wise
Occupation: Village Shaman
Age: 47
Backstory: Semah has been trained for the path of the shaman ever since he was born. They say he knows every single of the Three Hundred Secrets of the Twilight World. They say he walks with spirits and can put a hex on a man so potent not even the foulest of the thunder-walkers can remove it. They say Semah can take the form of a bird, that he can speak to animals, that he knows every thought that passes through your mind.

The truth is somewhat more humble - though who truly knows what that blind eye of his conceals?

Name: Soren Grey
Occupation: Gambler
Age: 19
Backstory: As a child, Soren had the enormous misfortune of having his hometown burnt to a cinder by a rampaging, likely bored, Chaos magician. Soren has since had a unique talent/curse: "luck" behaves oddly around him. Seemingly-random events conspire to grant him advantage, it seems, allowing his "skill" as a professional gambler to develop.

You are Soren Grey, a gambler in trade and mind. Luck has always been on your side and it had been useful over the past few years.

Your in the city of Gatus in the country of Herus. Gatus is a coastal city famed for its golden glass.

(3) Right now you're in an alley with the way to the streets blocked by two men...they aren't happy with that game of dice you played an hour ago. (6) They aren't armed with any weapons, but you know they don't need them; they're bloody Swiska monks.

(1+1) To your back is a huge and smooth wall.

There is trash all over the ground and you can make out something on the ground near the wall.


Stats
Health: As good as gold
Hunger: You just ate
Money: 100 coins, well you think anyway. kinda hard to count when you have two monks trying to kill you.
Location: In an alley, in the city of Gatus
Time: Around...midnight?
Skills:
        Unnatural Luck: +1 to Certain Situations

Tell them that if they think we've been cheating, we'd have gladly played - hell, we will gladly play a game on any dice they have. Hell, we'll even let them roll. It's just luck, and it would be very unreasonable for them to harm us over it.

This, and examine the object on the ground.

You tell them that you haven't cheated and that you'll play any game of dice with them, with their own dice. And they can roll. (5) Seems their not so foolish after all. They get out some dice and play another game. (4+1) You once again, win. They hand over 10 gold and leave. One of them curses as he leaves. Well at least your not dead, eh?

Now, what was that thing you saw...(1) A rusty copper mace. Well that wouldn't have helped you at all. Now what?

Find an inn or gambling den, then count money if you find an inn.
