~'Medieval' The Forum RPG~ (Adventure Awaits)
« on: January 13, 2012, 06:11:15 am »

 Welcome! Whether you choose to be a brave explorer, an honorable warrior, a wise mage, a cunning assassin, or a ruthless warlord. A hardy Dwarf, a noble Human, a nature-loving elf, or a battle-hardened Orc. Good, or Evil. Adventure awaits!

You can find the OOC Thread Here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=98987.0

What is Medieval?
 Medieval is more-or-less, a Stat Based, Play-by-Post, sometimes not-so-serious Forum RP, with no real set goals for playing that has seen quite a few iterations on various different forums over the years. (I think it's been about five years since the first Medieval, to be exact.) As you may have guessed while reading this, I've quite recently decided to give it a try here.

You, as the player, start as a budding adventurer (Or whatever it is you choose to be), and are free to explore the world. You could make a living searching dungeons and caverns for riches, or weapons and equipment. You could join the military, either fighting wars under the command of your superiors, or working you way up through the ranks until you're in command yourself. You could set sail and explore the lands beyond the borders of the known world. You could work as a mercenary for hire, or maybe lead your own organization of mercenaries, leading them into the battles others won't fight. You could be a charming merchant, on a quest to become the richest of the rich...

Or maybe you're the type that would want to be a deadly assassin, making your living slaying kings. You could be a bandit, taking from the rich and poor, and then giving it to yourself. You could be an evil Necromancer, bent on destroying the living with an army of your own undead. Or, with time, you could become a powerful leader, and, with excessive use of magma, conquer the world!

Really, if you can think it, you can probably do/become it.

Due to the nature of the game, you don't have to team up with any other players if you don't want to. You can act almost entirely independent of everyone else. (Unless your character runs into them and you decide to interact with their character.) (And if you do want to team up with other people, it'd be best to do so with people with similar posting times/habits to yourself. If you'd want to post and play often, you probably wouldn't want to play with someone who only posts once a day, you'd be stuck waiting for them when you could be out there killing things!)
And, while this, as an RP, isn't some wacky, fourth wall breaking adventure: It also isn't exactly an entirely serious one. References, subtle cracking of the fourth wall, and all around bizarre happenings certainly aren't uncommon, and if that isn't your thing, Medieval probably won't be either.
Lastly, you have no control over any NPCs, places, events, or especially players outside of your own character's reactions with them. So playing the game does rely a bit much on my presence.

How Does The Game Work Though?

I think that's it, although I have the feeling I messed something up, or left something out... (I hate that feeling.) This post will probably be edited a lot over time as well, but;

What are you waiting for? Make a character and begin your adventure! Or, if you have any questions, you can ask those too.

The max character limit is 40,000, so you might want to make an OOC thread, or reserve two or three posts in this thread to hold character sheets, depending on how you're doing them.
Could you add an example sheet to the OP?

Thanks.

There is a blank character sheet in "Stats, Skills, and the Application". If you want a filled out one as an example though, I'll get on that now.

Okay SeriousConcentrate, although I'm not sure there's much need to reserve a spot. (Unless I'm underestimating the amount of people who would like this game.)

Now, in traditional Medieval Fashion: (I guess it's more of a tradition of mine than a requirement, I'm sure you've all read the main post.)

Character's Name: Melritch The Mad
Character's Age: 243
Character's Gender: M
Character's Race: Lich (Human Undead)
Character's Appearance: A robed skeleton of average stature.
Character's History: Melritch does not recall much of his life as a meat sack, other than that he was born to a family of circus performers. His discovery of his gift for magic did not come until he was 13, when his family's backward little village was raided by marauders; he fled into the wilderness, but was followed by one of the thugs, desperate, Melritch somehow set him aflame inadvertently. Traumatized by the affai, he  spent the rest of his life searching for a way of escaping death, something he achieved by binding his immortal soul to a small gem which'd serve as a phylacteracy. Many would call him lmad or even outright insane, but Melritch cares not, for he finds great mirth in having outlasted his enemies, every single one of them so far.
