"Somewhere in the concrete jungle - an impossible infrastructure from a time before history - there exists a network of blossoming civilizations at near constant war. For a long time the Milkmoon family ruled all by fear from their castle built on top of an ancient bunker. Using the knowledge found there they built themselves mechanical bodies. About 5 years ago the dragon people of the northern city Burmat found another repository of technology and built tools and vehicles, but they didn't keep their findings secret and now every wealthy city has the means to challenge the Milkmoons. Loyalist forces have kept them at bay so far, but just barely.In this world each who learns has the capacity for simple magic like pyromancy and illusion, but another kind of magic lurks in the jungle. An old, cynical magic, one so subtle that it's lain unnoticed since the fall of the old world. Long has it been quiet, but as the cities grow they encroach on desolation. As new technology heals misery, misery grows jealous and the concrete begins to stir..."...Welcome to 4taba RPG! This game is an experiment, so the rules may grow or change as it becomes necessary. I've never done this before so feel free to suggest improvements. All you need to know to play is as follows...CHARACTER CREATION:i) Decide your first skill. This could be anything, like theft, cookery, bartering, swordplay, ventriloquism etc. You will be able to pick up new skills during the adventure, probably.ii) Assign experience points. You start with 50xp to assign to... STR: Strength, good for violence and other things DEX: Dexterity, helps to dodge things and move fast CHR: Charm, social skill and likability [Skill 1]: Replace with chosen skill. Must be at least 5. HP: Health, must be at least 5. You also have a DEF stat for passive defense, which starts at 0 and is entirely determined by your gear.iii) Draw a picture or write a physical description.iv) Write a backstory. It doesn't have to be much, just enough to get to know them.ACTING:An action is anything that involves interaction with the world, like traveling, fighting, talking (to NPCs) and examining. If the action depends on your stats, the GM will roll to see how you do. E.g.:> P1: I distract the shopkeep with the story of how we defeated the wolfmen>GM: #1d20+5CHR = 7 vs #1d20+12INT = 24 ::: 29% effect>GM: Your nerves get the better of you, you try to talk but all that comes out is "I killed a dog". The shopkeep looks away in shame and immediately notices your friends stuffing packs of crisps into their jackets.Actions will be executed by the GM in the order they're posted once or twice a day (maybe faster if this picks up). Multiple actions can be contained in a post (move), and once your move has been executed by the GM you can move again.The game will start when we have three or four players. If you're reading this in the future and want to join in we can probably figure something out.
>>1does the picture in OP have anything to do with the setting?
Do you think more people would join in if I made this simpler? Granted any simpler and it wouldn't be much of a game, more like a roleplay sandbox or a CYOA, but a sandbox isn't necessarily bad since the most fun part is probably roleplay/worldbuilding. Kinda sad since the barrier for entry is already so low though.>>14It looks like how I imagine Autumn Milkmoon, one of the Milkmoon daughters. This one was the inspiration for the "mechanical bodies" bit.
>>15interesting picture. how are the milkmoons still in power?
>>15now that i think about it, >>>/v/ has been pretty dead since the original 4taba died. this could explain the lack of interest, as those who might have been interested have already long left.
