The Great Malvolio Comes To Town! [Daredevil Mini-CYOA]


A probably very short, definitely very silly CYOA about the mind-boggling acts of death-defying do by the Great Malvolio! So far he's survived a trip off the edge of a waterfall. Made of jet fuel. In a swan boat. Full of swans.

Game: Just a Matter of Time
System: Black Crusade
Format: PbP
Players: 6
Description:

You and 5 other powerful servants of Chaos are about to be teleported onto a disabled Nurglite ship that has just come drifting out of the Hadex Anomaly, the place where time goes to die. All you need is one artifact. Unfortunately, there's a whole ship's worth of anomalies and madness between you and it. If you escape, you'll be free to carve your own path into the Screaming Vortex and beyond. If you don't, you'll be spending the rest of eternity reliving your horrible death.

No pressure.

Stop me if you've heard this one: A spirit of light, an undead assassin, an artificial dragonoid, and a warrior with a living sword walk into adventure. Super chill Saturday live game 2-3 times a month, usually around 6pm (US Pacific, GMT -8). Highly character-focused, where the story is really an excuse to travel between set pieces and good roleplaying moments. Also, applying with something other than a living member of one of the common races is not strictly required, but will probably help your chances.

System: Werewolf: the Forsaken Second Edition
Format: PbP
Players: 3-7
Contact: irc.synirc.net at #upnorth, or PMs

1867. Montreal, Québec. The first tracks of rail are laid facing the north, to connect the township of Saint-Jérôme to the city of Montreal. The French-speaking peoples of Canada are increasingly outnumbered and pushed from the urban centers by Anglophonic immigration. The Laurentian Mountains stand as a barrier, a shield to a great wide Up North that has been mainly untouched, filled with darkness but also opportunity, well known by hunters, trappers and furriers, but also something else: Lurking in the darkness are the creatures of the night, such as werewolves. Now, civilization is coming, and here at the frontier, what better place is there for such beings to thrive?

We've all played games before. Most of us played MMO's before. We all know how strange Player Characters can be, with their out of character knowledge, and other things. So how about for something a little bit different?

This time, YOU are the NPC's. Specifically, you're the NPC followers of a sadly less than competent newbie player. Have fun, and try not to get yourself killed. After all, reviving you is awfully expensive.
