Many here were really good, though they didn't like the Sci/fantasy sometimes. It does get dicey when you mix Sci-magic (right ECGordon ?
) you had better have your barbarian together.
That said I am going to post a secenario or two. You can play with your own handle, or have a made up handle (charactor), I have many, but only 4 reamain for now. Everyone by now has seen me post under two of my handles. For now I think we will start with "ghost stories". No resurrections allowed if your dead, stay so.
But some quick guidelines to be pretty wary of breaking.
1. No GODS! There is no reason for your charactor to be god like because if you can "do anything" then nothing is a challenge. That goes for 'Q' and the lot unless you make a 'flaw'; call it the superman syndrom - you have to have your 'kryptonite flaw'.
2. If you call upon the gods, the rest of the cast needs to support it, i.e. they agree that you got your god to answer, doesn't mean you don't get what you asked for...it justs means that it may not have been what you really wanted.
3. If you 'set someones charactor up for a move' don't kill, don't wound, don't 'be omnipotant' i.e. you can read that he is "hurting inside" but you have to have a logical reason why you would know this. You can't just "read minds".
4. Your Charactor is never dead, unless you kill it (i.e. you write the scene in which your charactor 'dies a noble and beautiful death.' though try to aviod too many of those also. sometimes death is just ugly....or the charactor is.
Now they may be "old timers" you haven't met coming through, and if they 'role play' I won't tell on them. They have to introduce themselves in another thread elsewhere; that is post the handle and claim it. Then I will verify them if need. Or some of the other posters can verify, since basically all of the mods here have met them before.
Ok, otherwise the idea is simply to play a 'game' by playing a charactor. The charactor can be totally not like your handle, though sometimes that can cause confusion.
