Forum Games and Roleplaying / Rise of The Rat-King: Risus Fantasy Adventure (OOC and Planning)
« on: December 06, 2015, 03:31:26 am »
So for me, school has ended for the year and as a result, I have a lot of time on my hand. Because of this surplus of time I have decided that I would like to give GMing a Risus game again. The game will use the free roleplaying system Risus and be set in a fantasy world. I do have a problem however, I am unsure as to how I should run the game. By that I mean that I am unsure as to whether I should run the game via Play by Post (on Bay12), IRC or Skype/Roll20. And so I would like to ask you, the people of Bay12, two questions. These questions are: Are you interested in playing a Risus game run by me? and, Do you think that the game would be better played via Play by Post, IRC or Skype/Roll20?

Other Games / Duelyst
« on: October 22, 2015, 04:12:48 am »Quote from: From the Wiki
DUELYST is a competitive strategy game focused on tactical combat, squad building, and ranked ladder play. Each battle is a 1v1 match between two online opponents. Gameplay in DUELYST is turn-based, with players taking turns to play cards from their hand to cast powerful spells, equip mighty artifacts, or summon deadly minions to move and attack on the battlefield on their behalf. Each match is fast-paced (less than 10 minutes) with a simple winning objective: reduce the enemy General's health to zero before they can do so to you.
Choose from 6 Factions to play, each with their own unique minions and positioning capabilities.
Build your custom squad from over 300 battle units, spells, and artifacts.
For latest Patch Notes, see Duelyst Patch 0.48.0.
Available for Win PC, Mac OSX, and Linux for Winter 2015.
Has anybody been playing this? It entered Open Beta today and I have to say that I've been impressed with what I've played so far. The game is exactly as it says above, a competitive turn-based multiplayer game and it's really fun and really pretty. Unfortunately I'm awful at it, I've played three games and lost each one but still, fun.

What is your name?
Are you male or female?
Do you prefer cats or dogs?
Finally, what is you nemesis's name and gender?
Yeah so I'm making an ISG my art skills are terrible and my writing skills leave much to be desired so I decided to put them together and see what happens.

You wake up slowly. You are cold, the air smells of damp moss and you are lying on a stone floor. As you regain consciousness and begin to stand up you notice that your regular clothes have been taken from you and you are clothed in basic clothes befitting your station. You blink and look around the room, it is a shaped like a square with all but one sides having a stone portal leading outwards what each portal leads to, who knows? You begin to take in other things about the room, unlike the smell would suggest the room is actually in good repair and the quality of the masonry is excellent, most likely dwarven work, you also notice that you are not alone, five other people stand in the room looking as confused as you. What do you do now?

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Fantasy Adventuring Party OOC and Signups (6/6) Waitlist Available
« on: April 10, 2015, 08:51:07 pm »
Hi everyone,
So as the title would suggest I am interested in, attempting, to run a forum game at the moment. I would like about 5 players, give or take a few. The game would be set in a generic fantasy land with goblins, elves and dwarves and the players would adventure throughout the world going on dungeon crawls and killing monsters. The system that we will be using is Risus a system that was brought to my attention by another thread that was created yesterday.
If you would like to join please either post a complete character sheet or an IN.

Other Games / 7DRL Challenge 2015
« on: March 06, 2015, 03:31:24 pm »
So, it's that time of year again. Yep, the 7DRL is on! If you don't know what this is then this is a helpful description from the 7DRL Challenges website:
So, are any of you guys going to join? Are you going to judge? Or are you just going to play some of the games?
Quote
A Seven-Day Roguelike (7DRL) is a roguelike created in seven days. That is, the author stopped writing code 168 hours after they started writing code. A 7DRL can be created at any time during the year. However, general agreement was reached that it would be fun to schedule a specific week for a 7DRL Challenge.
What is a roguelike game? The genre began with the game Rogue, which was created in the 1980s. According to Wikipedia, roguelikes are a sub-genre of role-playing video games, characterised by:
randomisation (for replayability),
permanent death (once a player-character dies, the game cannot be restored at an earlier point), and
turn-based movement
– although, of course, there are exceptions to each of these principles in various roguelikes.
For historical and practical reasons, most roguelikes depict the game world using ASCII “graphics,” although some newer roguelikes use graphical tiles. Roguelikes typically involve dungeon crawls, with many monsters, items, and environmental features. Brogue is a good example of a contemporary roguelike.
So, are any of you guys going to join? Are you going to judge? Or are you just going to play some of the games?

DF Community Games & Stories / Bërûl Ngotol(The Bastion of Ghosts) - Survival in A Wasted Land[Succession Game]
« on: March 05, 2015, 04:50:28 am »
The year is 1050. The goblins and dwarves are warring as they always have. The dwarves have been all but wiped out and only a few remain. This is their story...
'Owen' Razesïngiz scrabbled along in the dirt. He was walking back to his group, like the stories his father had told him they were seven in number. They had scavenged along the old fortresses that they had found and fitted themselves out in copper, they had found some small stills along the way and brewed themselves a drink that was hardly fit to be called grog. But they had survived. Unlike the other dwarves, unlike his parents, and his friends.
He remebered the day that the great dragon had come. It had torn through his small family fort, killing infants and destroying their meager military. Everyone had died, everyone except Owen. He had escaped through his cowardice abandoning his fort even as his friends and family screamed out for help.
He had walked alone for quite a while after that, until he met the others. They were a ragged bunch, covered in dirt and armed with stolen goods, but they were the last of the dwarves. Followed by stray animals they came upon this place and it is here that they decided to settle. It was here the Bërûl Ngotol was founded. In the language of the Dwarves, Bërûl Ngotol means The Bastion of Ghosts, Owen and his fellows named it this because that is all that the Dwarves are now, ghosts...

Hi guys,
So this is a new succesion fort that is going to be run by me. The rules are simple, you claim a turn and when it comes to your turn you play for a year until zipping the save and handing it along to the next person. There is no intentionally destroying the fort but apart from that anything goes. The world we are playing in is a pocket world with 1050 years of history, the only two remaining civs are the Dwarves and the Goblins who are perpetually at war. I will take the first year, updates will come soon.
if you would like to claim a turn or dwarf please add your name and I will add you.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / A Memory of the Dark - Interest Check
« on: February 06, 2015, 04:32:48 pm »
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become Legend. Legend fades to myth and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Fourth Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose above the rocky mountains of the Spine of The World. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning. The wind traveled down the slopes of the mountains throwing dirt and rocks into disarray. It swept through a small mining village that had begun to form on the mountains slopes. It passed over a land that was once a lifeless plain, but now bore a large arrangement of wild flowers. It passed over a great monument, a Sword shining with Light, that symbolized the great victory over the Dark One, and then, it stopped.
Hi guys, this is an interest check for an RPG based off the WoT series. If enough people join, around 5 for the moment, I will release the character sheets and we can begin. It is based after Rand's defeat of the Dark One and focuses on rebuilding the nations after his death and Tarmon Gai'don.

Play With Your Buddies / Let's Play Nethack
« on: January 31, 2015, 04:50:25 am »
Hi guys,
Nethack has got to be one of my favourite games ever. It was my first roguelike and is in many ways is what led me to Dwarf Fortress. I figured that I might as well run a Let's Play of playing it. At the moment I can't actually post images very well and so this will be all text until I can add some pictures.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I create my character a female, elven Ranger named Gilrael. I've never actually won the game before but my best runs have always been with either an elven Ranger or Wizard. Because of this I decide that my best chance to actually do well comes from using a build like this.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Let's Write a Story! [Collaborative Story]
« on: January 25, 2015, 09:23:12 pm »
So, I have an idea. My idea is that of a collaborative story, a story that a community writes together. I got the idea from a game that was being played on some sort of space email internet game. I figured that the one of the best places to do this would be Bay12 because you guys are really bloody cool. This is the reason I have started this thread to write a story with the rest of Bay12.
So this how this is going to work. Every post someone writes a piece of writing, in length it can be from one sentence to a few paragraphs. When writing extra pieces the only constraint is that it must be related to the prior posts in some way. This does not mean that you can't create an entirely new character/plot but it has to be able to be related to the rest of the writing in some way. I think that should be it for now, I'll start us off with a single sentence and see where it goes from there.
A compressed version of the story created by flamboy99 can be found here.
Rules:
1. Each post must be related to the prior posts in some way. This does not mean that you can't create an entirely new character/plot but it has to be able to be related to the rest of the writing in some way.
2. You may not directly contradict another persons post.
3. No sexual scenes of any kind.
