Forum Games and Roleplaying / (SG) A second chance
« on: April 03, 2019, 01:09:20 am »
Darkness...
This is the only thing you see.
Are you dreaming? Are you dead?

Voices...
That probably means you live and are conscious.
You can't make out a single word, but it sounds wrong, somehow.
How they talk. You've never heard anything like it.

Black turns to gray...

Beeping, humming, rattling. And the voices. You don't understand what they are saying.

You try to open your eyes and are rewarded by a bright light, making your head hurt.
You close them.
You open them again.
A few more tries and you manage to keep them open and take in your surroundings.
Not that they make any sense...

The light isn't that bright. Your eyes just must have been closed for a long time.
Blank metal walls, tables with tools you can't name around you.
People - too tall and too thin - are standing nearby and talking in that strange - in that somehow wrong - language.
There are more beds with more people.
There is a door with a panel next to it.
There is a machine next to you. It's producing the sounds. The beeping, the humming, the rattling.

The strange people turn towards you, watch you.
You just stare back as one of them shakes their head.
They say something you don't understand.

You feel a prick in your neck.

The voices become silent...

The world disappears...

Darkness...

...

...

...


Soft wind on your skin. That's the first thing you feel.
You can hear it, together with twittering birds and creaking wood.
You feel awake, energized, as if you have slept better than ever in your life.

You open your eyes.
The sky looks different. Not blue. Teal.

Are you dreaming? Are you dead?
You have a slight feeling of déjà vu.

You sit up and look around.
The grass around you is blue.
There are two other people lying beside you.
They seem to be waking up as well.
You ask them where you are. They tell you they don't know.
You ask them who they are.

Who are they? And who are you?

Forum Games and Roleplaying / High Stone Academy Of Extraordinary Arts
« on: December 02, 2018, 09:05:34 am »
                                       
High Stone Academy
  Of Extraordinary Arts 

             Intro: Part 1           

One is never prepared for when tragedy hits and you are no exception.

Your life wasn't bad.
As most lives, it was filled with sad and happy moments. As most people, you had friends and family.
But then came the day you lost those most precious to you.
It happened while you've been away for reasons out of your control.
After an endless time of heavy depressions, you decided that life took enough from you.
It was time to end it.



There is a place in the mountains you used to visit often when you were young and you want it to be the last place you see before you go.
Slowly walking towards the cliff, the faces of the people you lost swirl through your head.

And then your thoughts go silent.

You can smell the air, you can hear the wind, and you step closer to the edge.



And then it appeared.

...

...



You stop and watch as the air in front of you begins to flicker.
You keep watching as, out of nowhere, a brick wall appears, floating in the air in front of you.

Is this real? Are you dead already?

The wall keeps becoming clearer and you can make out written words on a large plate at the top.

"High Stone Academy
Of Extraordinary Arts"

You have no idea what to do or how to react to this.

Or do you?

Forum Games and Roleplaying / [ISG] Reimagine
« on: October 20, 2017, 06:14:41 am »
Welcome to Reimagine, a suggestion game set in a world consisting of nothing but your own imagination!

If you don't remember something, how can you be sure it hasn't been there?

Nobody knows what happened, why it happened or how it happened.
The only thing we do know is that it happened, because we remember that we used to remember something.
And if we used to remember something, something must have been there.

But whatever has been there, now it is no more.



Whatever was there before obviously ceased to exist. All that's left is your small group of... friends? Followers?
Who of them is you, you ask? You tell me!
Whatever you are, you should do something about the emptiness around you. Why don't you try and think of something?

We will show them!

Intro
Somewhere in the middle of the big, wild, forest in the west, far off from any settlement or any borders, lies a round clearing.
It is not that large, but compared to the group gathered in its center, it looks gigantic.
There are 9 people surrounding what seems to be the leader of the group.
A bunch of carts and carriages were parked a few meters away, the draught animals grazing nearby.
The group's clothes look cheap and outworn, some have daggers or small swords strapped to their sides,
some the tools of their profession.

The leader looks around himself, studying the faces of the others.
He then begins to speak, his voice sounding pressed and a little higher than you would expect it from a human male.
Well, he is no human male. He is a halfling, just like the other members of the group.
The halflings eyes lie on him, tensely listening to what he has to say.
"Mean tallfolks. Chasing halflings out of town! Say halflings steal and spy. Halflings never steal! Halflings borrow! Halflings bring back... most times!"
Some of the halflings are nodding in agreement, some murmur about their unfair treatment in human towns. The leader continues.
"Greenskins are dumb and stinky, and tallfolks don't chase them away. They don't want us because we are cleverer than them! They invent lies to make others hate us! But we will show them!"
Rejoicing. He tells them exactly what they want to hear. He knows how they feel. They come from different settlements across the land.
There are some villages and towns with larger halfling populations, but most of the time there are only a couple of halflings living in a human settlement.
They have a reputation for being thieves, spies, and of course responsible for all the bad things that happen to people all the time. Well, their race tends to be drawn to that kind of activies, but most halflings are normal, hard-working citizens.
Unfortunately, small villages with their superstitions and prejudices don't make it easier for halflings to live there in peace,
and so it happens that sometimes halflings from different villages form groups and head out into unclaimed land to find a new future for themselves.
This group is one of those.
"We will build our own town! Biggest halfling town, bigger than all tallfolks towns! We will show them!"
More rejoicing. There is no going back. They won't be welcome anyway, and so the only possibility is looking forward.
"Let's begin!"


Hello there. I've decided to start a new ISG (Illustrated Suggestion Game). It's a village/colony builder, like most of my other ones.
I hope you guys will enjoy it. :)

Before we start with the first turn, I would like you to choose a leader from the group.
You can vote for one of the halflings and if anything should be changed - the name, age, profession, if he has any special armor or weapon - whatever you like)

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Where is everyone? (ISG)
« on: October 14, 2015, 07:41:24 am »
Where is everyone?



"Finally out of that forest. I've had enough of all those trees...", you mumble to yourself as you drive along the empty road.
You are on your way to a good friend of yours who's living on the other side of the country, a seven hour drive through mostly forest-covered nothing.
After four hours of driving, you slowly grow bored.
Just as you began to think about what you could do to change that, a sign comes into view saying "Al's roadhouse".





What do you do?

Reconquering
An illustrated suggestion colony (re)builder


Story: [Chapter 1]
Turns: [Turn 1] [Turn 2] [Turn 3] [Turn 4] [Turn 5] [Turn 6] [Turn 7] [Turn 8] [Turn 9] [Turn 10] [Turn 11]


Background Story
Year 2079

The world did not end in an atomic world war yet, and technologically, we keep progressing steadily.
Diseases are mostly defeated and the average lifespan is 190 years.
Weapons and wars are still our passion, and there are still hundreds of thousands and millions dying in dumb wars out there.
We have small colonies on Moon and Mars, both international projects, but still have no sign of alien life.

But that was to change drastically

One day, a big asteroid crashed into our planet.
All our precautions failed, and when we realized it, it was already too late.
The consequences were dramatic, tsunamis destroyed most coastal cities, and earthquakes did the same to many inland cities.
Volcanous spit molten rock and smoke into the air, leaving large parts of the planet in darkness.
Forest fires, all kind of people going crazy.
It was a terrible time after the impact.

And as if that wasn't enough, it turned out that the asteroid brought alien life with it.
The asteroid contained an organic alien virus, and it reproduced with an absurd speed.
Killing most of its victims, it also mutated some.
The mutations ranged from additional limps to complete "overhauls",
leaving behind scared cripples and terrifying monsters alike.

Many people died in the weeks after that, some fled into bunkers and cellars, metro stations and caves,
trying to survive in the vast underground we never paid attention to before.

Some cities were prepared for an event like this and built large bunkers beforehand.
But these bunkers contained statis capsules to freeze the inhabitants until the catastrophe was over and they could repopulate the planet.

There are about 10 of these bunkers spread around the world, each able to contain a few hundred people.

And in one of them, our story begins

Forum Games and Roleplaying / A random story - Illustrated forum game
« on: October 30, 2014, 08:31:24 am »
Hi there.

After I had to pause my last forum game due to lack of time,
I am now ready to start a new one.

It is fairly simple. There are no preparations made up front but one image.

The players will decide how they want to interpret that image,
and what the next step will be.

There is no fixed genre for the game yet. You can decide if you want, or you can simply make suggestions what should happen.
Who needs a genre, anyway? :P

If there are several suggestions and the players can't decide in one way or the other (voting, the loudest wins, whatever^^),
I will decide which suggestion I will follow.

Well, that's it. No limits.

Have fun!
Asgarus

PS:
The second post will be reserved for infos of the running game and important details, etc.
The third post will contain the first scene.

General Discussion / Nested spoilers?
« on: September 26, 2013, 03:18:52 am »
Hi guys.

Can anybody tell me if there is any way to create nested spoilers?
It is definitely possible, but obviously not in our forum...

Does anybody have an idea for an alternative?

Thanks.
