Forum Games and Roleplaying / (SG) Sargon: the First Vampire (Prelude to The Modern Gothic)
« on: June 27, 2017, 07:20:07 am »
You are Sargon of Akkad, the first king of the Akkadians, and you are nearing the end of your life. You feel Death inching closer and closer, and your old, frail body feels on the verge of collapse with every single breath you manage to steal for yourself, prolonging the inevitable one moment at a time.

Even if you weren't on the verge of death, you know your weakness is beginning to show, and that means one thing. Those in your court are growing ever eager for your death, and they're making moves to ensure it occurs sooner than later. Your son is eager for the throne, and your advisers and guards have begun to disappear, to be replaced with strangers that your subjects assure are trustworthy and loyal. Things are changing, and deep in your head, you know your end is coming.

You are asleep in your grand quarters, and your paranoia began to subside enough to allow you to sleep. Before you close your eyes for your possible final rest, you see a winged shadow hovering above you. Anxiety and fear grow in your heart, which prevents you from drifting into the slumber you so desire.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / 6/13, A Year in Hell: An Apocalypse World RP (0/6)
« on: May 03, 2017, 10:44:04 am »
Way to play: Discord, primarily voice chat. May use text to describe scenery or actions.

The Rules/Characters playable: Apocalypse World/Official Playbooks only, all allowed. Every Playbook is unique, only one of its kind may be picked, and once it dies, it is permanently removed from play. We will learn who plays who in session zero, but you will each pick two, to act as a second life and possibly second character, if your first character lives that long. Playbooks not picked will be used by me as Antagonists.

Setting: New York CSA, Modern Day:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_metropolitan_area



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rikers_Island
You begin in Rikers Island, either as an inmate, guard, or other civilian employee. An ominous fog covers the island, along with the entire CSA, at exactly midnight of Friday the Thirteenth. All communication outside of the CSA is disconnected, and you are all isolated. It will be like this for 14 months, until the next Friday the Thirteenth. During this time, you'll face hostile people, insanity, and monsters straight from Silent Hill, along with the Omniscient and well dressed Master of Ceremonies, who will make it his job to challenge you, and to provide himself with entertainment as you fight to stay alive. It'll be a long year, so good luck!

Schedule: we play once a week in the morning, possible days: Mon-Fri. Possible times: 7 AM-3 PM, US Central Standard Time. Occasional intermissions because I'll need to take dogs out occasionally.

Thank you, everyone. I will now make my god of punching. I will punch out a titan for you, Max, for being so helpful.

Cool, thanks! One more question. In Fortress Mode, can I imbue a singular dwarf with it?

As the title says.

I remember playing Adventure mode awhile ago, and I loved playing as someone who roamed the countryside and beat everything to a pulp with my bare hands. How do I mod myself to become a true god of punching? I was weak, for obvious reasons, what can I use to tweak the numbers to make him stronger?

This is basically a rough draft of a series of short stories I want to start up. This takes place in a run-down district of Monopolville, a metropolis in the near future of a world like our own, but rather strange and surreal. This story series tells the misadventures of one of many gangs, the Ragenauts. These people are neither heroes nor villains, just people who banded together in a place that went straight up FUBAR to best survive. Critique would be much appreciated, and thanks for reading.

Far too short to give any sort of proper input as regards to plot, but:

If it's first person, the beginning feels too impersonal. Did the protagonist make their way there? It doesn't seem like you've decided whether or not it's from the viewpoint of one of the gang members. Sort that out. Consistency is key.

"something to be worthwhile" is very clunky and should be fixed.

Are the called Ragesters or Ragenauts?

Territory 'running thin' doesn't seem right - it's not being used up, it's presumably getting crowded. Use something that more suggests crowding.

Grab suggests they're scavenging, not occupying a building.

a yellow tape of'quarentine' here
You've both misspelt quarantine and you're missing a space. This is also just poor english - "Sure, there's yellow quarantine tape over there, and a blood-splattered 'help' over there, but that's from forever ago." would be much better. I've added the 'from'.
Thanks for the critique. I think this would be far better off as an animation or comic, it was hard to write up what little I did. I was trying to use bad grammar artistically, because I'm trying to give off the idea that these people don't know proper grammar, and that they've made up their own gang slang, but that was even worse. Trying to do that while also properly telling people what's going on will only hold the book down. I'll leave this idea for later. Thanks for reading.

Yes, I'm quite sure. I designed my character to not be the most likable, and creepy.

Name: Yor Igor
Race: Hunchback

He has long hair and a large set of mutton chops on his long face, both of which are Raven black. His white skin is like scarred porcelain, with cracks and cuts both deep and shallow,  with a nightmarish, acne-ridden face of innumerable jagged, wicked teeth, and black, Beady eyes, deep in a Neanderthal-like brow.
Status: Resident since the town was founded.
Occupation: He Works as a Gravekeeper, tending the flowers and burying the corpses.
Starting position: I will let the dice decide.
Primary power/ability: Corpse Whisperer: He can speak to and understand the Undead. The Undead are magnetically attracted to him, and tend to follow him wherever he goes.
