-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay! let's start this! I will be the GM (Game master, the one who runs the game) This is a soft-core RPG so EVERYONE is invited! Here is the game http://www.elfquestfanart.com/index.php?topic=430.0 (http://www.elfquestfanart.com/index.php?topic=430.0)
this game is also a practice of trust, you can lie and the only consequence is YOUR loss of enjoyment... Dice rolling is not necessary but can be helpful, if you don't have a dice nearby you can roll one at any of the multiple "online dice rollers" (just write that to google and you'll find one) if you roll a dice you need to write the number before your character action. example "5. Marut tries to open open the latch" two times a week I will count all the numbers and IF all the numbers combined are bigger than a number I say before a scene, you unlock a new area! if not, nothing bad happens, you simply fail to open more stuff near the Holt... and since this is a test, no one can die in this game...
Here is one online dice roller, I've set things up for you so you can just click "roll again" to roll your dice https://www.random.org/dice/?num=1 (https://www.random.org/dice/?num=1)
So? are people interested? you can tune in whenever you want and leave if you feel so, no one is forcing you to stay. A couple of times a week the game moves forward, and I would LOVE seeing characters interact with one another! just no sex or gore, and please, be nice...
Those interested can write here the character they play! it can be a cannon character or your own character (or even you in EQ form). if you have any questions ask away!... and don't feel intimidated, it's all going to be very laid back and simply fun!..
Speaking and stuff
easy ways to separate speaking, action, sending and off game (stuff directed to me, like questions), happens like this...
- Action, stuff that character does, body language and such...
Marut strenches as he stands up from the old nest, he was sleeping in...
- Speaking, stuff that character says...
"That sure was a good nap! well, better start hunting soon!.."
- Sending, stuff that character sends, you have to specify if it's a closed sending or an open sending...
Strongbow's closed sending reaches only Cutter..
¤You know, I sometimes hate your guts...¤
Strongbow's sending reaches all...
¤Everyone to Cutter! he needs our help!...¤
- Offgame, something you need to ask me or other players that is not part of your characters action, speaking or sending...
(Hey guys! my character really needs to pee! where do they go to take a leak?)
So that's that! hope you found that useful!...
And again, the RULES!
- Be nice to others
- No killing, gore or sexual stuff (prey animals can be hunted but please keep the violence at minimum)
- Go throw a dice in some online dice thrower if you feel like it, but you don't have to!

1. So did I understand correctly, that the dice roll total resets after every week?
2. If the total doesn't add up at the end of the week, do we lose the specific "reward" (like, finding something new at the holt) forever, or can it be achieved later?
3. How many times can a player throw the dice in a week? Or is it just once/week?
Post by: Berit on November 27, 2017, 01:50:34 PM
1: yes, the dice rolling event resets weekly.
2: The tribe can achieve the lost reward some time later. if the total of the group dice roll adds up then the tribe gets a new area to explore and adventure in, otherwise they get nothing or might sometimes find items or such to use as they wish.
3: The player can throw a die once per character every week.

Also not good with coming up with characters. Isn't there some kind of worksheet to roll for different character traits? Is that around here somewhere?

Huzzah for bigger tribe!...
Post by: Vaeri on December 04, 2017, 06:31:33 AM
or does roll for the characters only apply outside unlocking events and stuff? i just want to clarify so i know i understand.^^
Post by: Berit on December 04, 2017, 10:35:23 AM
You may also roll dice (if you want) even if it isn't a group activity when your characters are just hanging about, then they can spot smaller items, prey animals or interesting twigs, stones, stuff like that!... stuff that I'd love the character to interact with! (Tidemist threw 6 underwater so she found the Snapjaw and scales and stuff even as it was not a group activity, lots of stuff because six is a biggest number on the type of dice we are using! if she had thrown 1, she would not have found anything that time)...
Post by: Vaeri on December 04, 2017, 03:39:41 PM
And chatacters during a non group activity can only roll once per week, which is defined as monday through sunday?
