https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqlH7di8oI4&hd=1 In this thread goons post about rpgs -- or make up a character, get in Ye Tavern, and then I will bullshit up an adventure.
oh yeah, some npcs are actually the pcs of other threads, not everyone you meet is fake ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ you can shitpost about how extremely dumb rpgs are or heckle or whatever if you want ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ it's p loose but basically i will veto anything truly asinine if you insist on being a dumbass ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the (less than) fabled town of Cramstone, not so much is going on. Right now it's getting towards dusk and most people are closing up their Shops, going to Ye Tavern to blow the day's wages, or just going home. To the South, is the gate and road leading into the Wilderness. To the North, is the gate and New Road that crosses the bridge & leads to the town of Harper. In Ye Tavern the old timers & regulars have already been swapping tales of General Bullshit and Rumors, like usual. post chars if you wanna -- Other than that i've been looking at stuff like Cyberpunk & Traveller. Pretty decent. Got stuff like rules & roles and poo poo like that. Somebody said traveller is p much you sit on the bridge of your space ship in your underwear drinking coffee and trying to get good prices on trade goods, where cyberpunk is fuckin style. Drips it, imo. Either one lets you rig up interesting bullshit and pull off different, cool situations, but def coming from completely opposite directions, different paradigm. Kinda think cyberpunk is better, but it's not like either is bad.

Name: ix Skills: Fire Stuff, Mysterious Nature, Charades Expert ----- Nobody really knows what ix is beyond it being a curious creature. People tend to not look into its beady little eyes for long, lest they become unsettled. It doesn't talk as far as anyone has ever known, but it's quite good with gestures. Folks tend to understand it with no issue for some inexplicable reason. The small size creature is adept with fire--scarily so. Who taught the little creature? Perhaps its an innate ability? ix is, at least by appearance, a magic user of some sort as its crown is topped with a comically large mage's cap. ----- Currently ix has taken up residence in a small dingy corner of ye old generic tavern, not drinking, or moving... or blinking.

character time? ok Character: Gerry Bimbledon Skills: knot tying, tailoring, blowgun proficiency Size: small Race: Gnome Gerry is a dour, freckled gnomish tailor whose business has fallen on hard times. The gnomes around these parts just don't seem to find his clothes fashionable these days, and he's considered closing up shop to seek fortune and adventure on more than one occasion. Gerry adjusts the belt of his old school (yet ever fashionable) gnomish tunic and adjusts his wicked sick pointy cap before slipping into Ye Tavern to take a seat at his favorite bench and order his first of several drinks for the night. Getting a buzz and observing the antics of the patrons provides a strange sort of entertainment which takes the edge off after a long, stressful day.

Gerry puts away that tankard of grog like it's as easy as breathing and sets it aside for later refilling. "Dunno whether I'm less surprised the bleedin' duke forgot his high society politeness coming through town, or that the rudest stooges in the hamlet got pissed someone came through thinkin' they were too good for a patdown."

"The inn's plenty fancy for them types." "Coulda learned the bridge was still out if they stopped." "Carpenters should have it fixed day after tomorrow, but they're so important the whole group musta took The Old Road." "They ain't came back, that's the only other way." The drunks all nod ominously. Everyone knows the abandoned road is full of poachers and wolf packs. The old timers, tho, don't like the sound of it. "Earl shoulda took care of it years ago." "Strangers going out around that way won't come to good." "Lake's holy, but the far shore's accursed. drat kids is fools for trying to hunt out there." "Mark my words, sonny, if'n nobody goes out there t' drag 'em out, they won't be seen again." The consensus, judging by the general jeers, is nobody believes in that crap anymore. There is something in the lake, that part is real, obviously. But people make a living poaching game and come back fine. "'Course there's rumors, pops. Creatures in the woods," -- the intimidated drunk glances at ix -- "and cults, but I been out there and never saw nothing but old statues." "Sometime Preach heads out there." There's some noncommittal grumbling and the conversation turns to more important things, like the price of grain and how the mines are doing. -- Gerry knows offhand if you head towards the bridge, but before you cross the river that flows out of the lake, there's an old overgrown road that tracks east the long way around, past the lake and near some steep hills and cliffs, then back northwest towards Harper. The New Road & bridge are actually old as hell and only called that because nothing really new ever happens here. But the Old Road is much, much older. Cramstone only has the one priest, and he does take that route to go out to the lake and do priest stuff every once in a while.
