Bay 12 Games Forum

The age of heroes.

This is a multiplayer rpg forum game, which is basically roll to dodge, but with some extra dice rolls. You are hero in the world of Quellath who, after many years of war, are finally setting out on a journey of discovery, magic, !!FUN!!, fighting, etc. There is lore in this world, lore which I have worked on since I was very young, but all of the made maps are lost and outdated, except for one which is just outdated, and not lost. Yet. So no maps until I make a proffessimonal map. You can be whoever you want, there are plot holes waiting to be filled, and the story will be revealed as we go. There is a human empire with no less then 18 provinces, free human kingdoms, nords, dwarves (lots of these) elves(few in number), high elves/ Undarak which are [CLASSIFIED], and playable orcs. Because peace, man.

There are gods, human gods are as follows:
1. Viteyar, god of the harvest, food, and the hunt. He appears as a male human.
2. Ibaldur, god of war, battle, and revenge. He appears as a male wolf.
3. Dunja, goddess of love, peace, and marriage. She appears as a female human.
4. Ikris, godess of wind, destiny, and strength. She appears as a female dragon.
5. Ysella, godess of the sea, fish, and water. She appears as a great sea serpent.
6. Lucmera, god of the earth, the stone, and the riches below. He appears as a male dwarf.
7. Auna, godess of nature, animals, and archery. She appears as a female elf.
The last god is Ybius, king of gods, and god of light and darkness, as well as life and death,  good and bad, ying and yang, and in balance in general. He appears as nothing but that which is.

Dwarves have their own gods.
The mason.
The smith.
The shieldmaden.

The elves have a ancestor honering system, but no gods.

This is essentially a rtd game with a focus on roleplaying and not dying, as well as the fact that I'm using a twenty sided die. You get 20 free points for your character, each point can be put in a stat, and that will increase rolls by one per point. Whenever you try something, I shall roll the die, if you get 1-10 you fail, but if you get 11-20 you succeed.
No amount of points will save you from a critical fail, which will usually include you tripping over and injuring yourslelf, and a critical success will cause some baddassery to be included, as well as you doing better

So. What shall your adventure be?
( sorry if it's a bit rocky, this is my first forum game. It should improve. With time.)

CURRENT HEROES:

Commence discussions!
If you want to.

Name says it all.
Has anyone done this?

Who would like to play a succession game where you have the entire save for one/two weeks to do whatever you want?
Build a castle - fort, make an adventurer to be spoken of in legends, declare war, this is our world!
It'll be a big world too, very early in to it's life span.
So, who wants to become world famous?
In a df world?

...that makes it sound less attractive...

We are sick and tired of outdated imiges. So, Toadyonethegreat, can this forum host imahpges? Please?

I'm planning a communtiy fort, but we need to build a prison. The ultimate prison. There can be no escape for this creature. Escape is not an option. If it gets out, we're dead.
So.
I need to build a horrible god thing which cannot be destroyed, can see without eyes because it's dozens of eyes are actually big toothy jaws, lots of tentacles, and if a dwarf goes near it they will go so mad that it is impossible for them to calm down. This needs to be the most horrible, evil thing ever created. If it gets out, the world is doomed. Of course we need to get it in there... I know! It can pretend to be a dwarf who comes here as a migrant, and we find it and unleash the beast. It cannot be killed. Prison is the only option.
Sooo... Any help?

Interest check: proper dwarven fortress

This succession fort is basically where we need to make the most dwarven fortress ever conceived. To do this, we need to build as many megaprojects and style thingummies as we can bring ourselves to construct. We will also need to embark on a proper mountain peak, with a volcano nearby, and connection to at least one biome with an aquifer. These are for megaprojects, and true dwarvenism.
There will be no winning with cheap tricks, we will have the greatest miliatary ever.
Starting from year two. We are the true builders of the world. The eventual aim should be to build the grandest throne room ever, and get a king / queen. We need to think before each construction, "would i like this if I was  a dwarf?"

So who's with me?
