 I'll only be running this forum game from 10:00 PM to 12:00 AM PDT each day. You do not have to be present every session, nor do you have to stay until we reach 12:00 AM (but do inform me when you leave early). Since time is limited, I suggest that you check for updates frequently so you won't hold everyone else behind. Now with that out of the way, it's time to make a character:

Spoiler: Character sheet (click to show/hide)

(You do not choose a name, gender, description or bio.)
 You have 5 skill points
Skills: (You can put points into anything that could be a skill. You get +1 for each point in that skill.)
Items: (You start with 2 items)
Goal: (You beat the adventure when you achieve this)

Spoiler: Current adventure (click to show/hide)

When everyone has beat the current adventure, or when they simply grow tired of it, they get to decide what the next adventure will be (e.g. City gangster, Wild west, Fantasy countryside, etc).
The current adventure is yet to be decided by the players!

Spoiler: Dice mechanics (click to show/hide)

For determining the outcome of actions, I'll roll a d10 and add the modifier. From 1-5 it's a fail, while from 6-10 it's a success. The cost the number is to the extremes, the more of a failure/success it is.

PBP, I imagine?

PBP, I imagine?

That stands for play-by-post, right? What's the difference between that and normal forum-based rpgs?

Essentially none; they're almost always play-by-post. I wanted to make sure that this wasn't over IRC.

Okay. By the way, do you want to make a character?

Accepted. What do you think the setting should be?

[Powder Miner]

Let's go with the Korean War.

Very much so.

Items: Appropriate Vehicle, Appropriate Large Container of Booze

[Tomasque]

Let's go with the Korean War.

Hmm... that's way too specific, and it covers a topic that I hardly know anything about. Could you choose something else?

Accepted. What's your idea for the setting?

[Powder Miner]

Hehe, sure. Let's just choose some sort of modern war in general, or something. To be fair, though, I'm not really invested in any one setting, so I'd like to see what Immaterial has to offer.

[Tomasque]

Hmm... is close to 12 and we haven't even started. Do you think we could extend it, say, an hour just this once, to get things rolling?

 Also, we still need Immaterial's idea for the setting.

[My Name is Immaterial]

How about Wild West?

[Tomasque]

Okay. Sound good Powder Miner?

[Powder Miner]

Sounds fine to me.

Ain't you ever watched M*A*S*H?!
