Hello, and welcome fair gamers to a little experiment of mine. I have been playing some DnD lately, and I realized DMing is a lot like running a Forum Game. So, I decided I'd try doing a game DnD style. What will I do? Well, I'll reveal the first story after enough people join in. Also, I'm doing all the rolling so you don't need dice and I don't need to accuse cheating. Now, the ultimate forum game question: How do you join?
Well, to join, you give me this:
Name: Your name, Derpy. Bio: Describe yourself! Have some fun with this! Affinity: Your element your are associated with. Race: See Races below Class: See Classes below Preferred Weapon: What weapon class you would like to use.
Name: John Menon Bio: A generic hero used to make an example. Has no characteristics unto himself. In fact, he may be a Doppelganer. Affinity: Fire Race: Chanian Class: Avatar Preferred Weapon: Blade
You get:
Name: John Menon HP:28 MP:10 Afiinity: Fire Race: Chanian Race Perk: Cleave(Gains an extra attack when killing an opponent) Class: Avatar Class Perk: Divine Strength (+3 to damage) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stats Strength: 8 Perception: 5 Endurance: 8 Charisma: 2 Intelligence: 2 Agility: 5 Luck: 5 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Inventory: Weapon: Shortsword (1d6) Armor: Double Leather(12 AC, -3 Acrobatics) Other: Lume's Everburning Candle
As for the classes...*cracks knuckles*
Mercenary For-hire adventurers that make up the meat and potatoes of a team. They excel in direct combat, taking direct hits and dishing out damage with melee weapons. They dabble in gunplay, but will not use magical force. Magical equipment yes, magic itself no. Weapon Proficiencies: Pistol, Auto, Polearm, Bladed, Blunt Armor Proficiencies: Heavy, Medium, Light, simple
Pirate A sailor of some sorts always seeking booty. Some seek causes, some seek money, others seek chaos, all bend the law to do so. After all, raiding isn't illegal if it's "eace keeping". Whatever they do, they do it with style, with swagger equaling effect for them. Weapon Proficiencies: Blades, Polarms, Pistols, Cannons, Rifles Armor Proficiencies: Coats, Simple
Musicians The living body of a muse. Their memory for songs is limitless, and at a glance they can play a song like a non-musician with decades of memorization and practice. They are the only ones who can use the mysterious musical weapons. Musicians, rock out! Weapon Proficiencies: Musical Armor Proficiencies: Simple, Exotic
Syntical Synticals are one with the shadows. They can-and often do-steal from others to make ends meet. They are masters of gunplay, but not so much with anything else. Weapon Proficiencies: All Ranged Classes Armor Proficiencies: Light, Coat, Simple
Avatars Avatars are exemplars of their chosen deity and believe those who follow others are in the wrong. Their powers remain so long as they remain aligned with their god of choice. Weapon Proficiencies: Polearms, Blunt, Bladed, Rifle, Sniper Armor Proficiencies: Heavy, Medium
Wizard Masters of magic who enter combat doing whatever they want with it. They can strike many foes with a single use of magic, weakening entire hordes for their allies to slaughter. Proficient Weapons: Staffs, Wands, All Magic Proficient Armors; Simple
Vansibanes Hermits who live alone, only associating with those who they trust implicitly. Their magical knowledge is rivaled by none. Magic oozes from every pore of their body...and in some cases, so does stench. Proficient Weapons: Staffs, Bladed, Pistols Proficient Armors: Simple
Cleric These are the guys you always need, the guys who can heal. They combine medical knowledge with healing magic to cure their allies any way they can. After seeing so many cadavers, they have become largely atheist, even in the face of Avatars. Proficient weapons: Blunt, Staffs, Pistol, Sniper Proficient Armor: Light, Simple
Races:
Cheezburgians: The cat people! They have heightened senses and are very agile, but are not as strong or durable as other races.(+3 PER/AGI, -3 STR/END)
Youtubians: The race of cyborgs! They are more intelligent than average, but their robotic enhancements slow them down. (+2 INT, -2 AGI)
Chanians: The huge gorilla people! Their massive size gives them more strength and endurance, but they are dumber and less charismatic than average. (+3 STR/END, -3 INT/CHA)
Trollix: Galactic politicians that happen to be dragon men! They are luckier than average and more charismatic, but their scales make them less agile and they cannot see well. (+2 CHA/LCK, -2 AGI/PER)
Behemel: The largely hated space nazis! Their aggressive tendencies make other races hate them and they are largely unlucky , but they are more agile, strong and durable than others. (+2 STR/END/AGI, -3 CHA/LCK)
Collective: The once rulers of the whole **** universe! They have good eyes and can sweet-talk well, but they aren't as strong or lucky as most. (+2 PER/CHA, -2 LCK/STR)
Balcheans: The warmongering frogs! They are stronger and more agile than anyone by average, but are easy to squish and can't see well. (+4 STR/AGI, -4 END/PER)
Tropers: The gem-laden race of infinite wisdom and beauty! They are smarter and more charismatic than others, but their gem skin makes them less agile and their gem eyes make it harder to see. (+3 INT/CHA, -3 PER/AGI)
PHEW. So, now we wait for about...six people to make characters!

@Demyx: ...he called Chronos a gorilla. You juggle the spearman's corpse.
@Shadow: The goblin snarls at you.
Goblin: You heard Gobnik, cat! You not get me to repeat! Now you die!
The goblin taps his staff twice on the ground, turning into a huge, black humanoid with two sets of arms. Two of his arms hang from his shoulders, while the others are crossed across his torso. He has huge white goat horns and deep red eyes.
Goblin: Me Intet now! You will die!
Just after doing this, the goblin erupts into black flames, the form turning back into the little goblin and the blackened form of the creature falling into a pile of ashes. You hear a booming voice from far away.
Voice: Slaves who would profane the image of Intet will be punished...by Intet.

"Avo help us, I've head of Intet, his a big time Skorm supporter. I guess I was off with Krona being the one who attacked you Mishka. But, that is bad because we could try to reason with Krona but not Intet."

@Shadow: After the shards of the fourth wall deal one damage to you, Mishka seems to be thinking, then shakes her head.
Mishka: No, Mishka would recognize Intet. Mishka was slave on Intet until Mishka escaped. Mishka think Shadow was right about Krona.
@Everyone who tried to talk to Intet: Unfortunatley, none of you rolled natural 20s to have your voice carry that far and do not get a response from Intet. However, Mort rolled a natural 20 to listen and spot and he can somehow see a mountain far off in the distance that the booming voice came from.

"Yes we should go on, but I have a bad feeling that Intet and Krona mite be working together. But that is weird, even though they are on the same side I highly doubt they would work together."
"So what are Intet and Krona doing? We attacked the goblins first and for all we know, Intet just wanted to test our skills. Krona attacked Mishka's Sun Temple because Dark and Light are polar opposites of each other. It's their war. Why should we attempt to fight against a god just because 2 people are from gods who don't like Skrom that we don't even know the intentions of? Skrom didn't attack Atlas, did he?"
I call upon Atlas to give me an answer about Skrom.

Seeing Cronos trying to contact Atlas the other god of light, I try to contact my god Avo and ask him if he was one an ally of Atlas and two if any of the Temples of light have been attacked.

@Chronos: Atlas tells you that when he encountered The Guardian seeking to take his role, he engaged in a conversation with him and decided he was doing a fine job as god of the Chanians. Atlas tells you that The Guardian knew of Skrom and Intet, Intet being the old god of fire before he descended into demonhood and Skrom is the current, rather innefective god of Darkness. He does not think Intet and Skrom would work together, as Intet swore war on all the divinities when he descended.
You all continue into what looks like a destroyed goblin tribe. There are many collapsed tents and hundreds of Kobold bodies litter the ground. There is what looks like a ruined temple and a larger, standing tent by the back of the whole mess of grue.
Mishka: This Mishka's village...Mishka will let adventurers search as they please.
