THE DRAGON”S HOARD
PbP
EN WORLD

2007 SERIES


The Folks that brought you The World Below now proudly bring you a new beginners edition of their hit arcane game- The Dragon’s Hoard. You and your team will compete against three other teams(Provided by the DM) to collect 3 flags and survive a deadly dungeon. There will be occupants, traps and adventure along with surprises good and bad all in the spirit of entertainment and good planar family fun!

This season’s theme will be a ruined city and the surrounding environments. Teams will enter the arena from four opposite corners noted by the colors of Red, Purple, Blue or Green. Each team will carry a flag of that color. Within each quadrant is another flag uniquely marked. To win the event one must only collect three flags and present them to a Dragon’s Hoard representative. These representatives can be found throughout the dungeon.

To collect a flag, one can either find flags through exploration of their and other team’s sections or “attain” them from other team’s misfortunes. These misfortunes include accidents from creatures, traps, in-fighting and of course ambush. Though there are clerics on call at all times there is no guarantee one will survive the Dragon’s Hoard Arcane Game ™. If a cleric of this event is called in to resurrect you, you will be penalized. Penalties are given by a spin of a wheel. They range from gold, magic and even removal from the game.

Employees are often clerics and also maintenance and Animal Handlers. There are also reporters and judges that can be found within the dungeon. There will also be various constructs used to monitor the events within the game. Though not covered by the same laws and rules as other employees, we take it personally when we must rebuild them again.

TUNNELS
Within Dragon’s Hoard: Ruins there are many tunnels and secret passageways. Most of these are for you use and discovery, if found and won. However, there are some tunnels for employee use only. There are penalties for illegal use of these tunnels. These range from instant death to rejection of the game. These will NOT be marked. You may learn which are which by trial and error.

EN WORLD VIEWING DISCLAIMER.
Maps will be in common use for this game. Maps of the arena, battle grounds, rooms and lairs. These will be provided for ease of both the DM and players. Please keep this in mind if you have a slow outdated dinosaur of a computer like the DM.

We hope you watch, participate and enjoy the newest edition of Dragon’s Hoard: The Ruins Arcane Game.

In plainer words, this is my own version of the X-Crawl Roleplaying game. The team made of you and three other players will compete vs three of teams made by me. This is designed to be fun with humor.

I would like to rewrite this as a Storyhour also. I see a great deal of humor being possible here.

This is not to say I wish for funny characters only. It is a contest and the other teams are looking to win.

This said, the first four PCs completed and okayed by me are in.

ECL 5?

love the setup, i want in

Sounds like fun. I'll try to have a character up by tomorrow, but so far I'm thinking of a mildly pyromaniacal evoker.

I'm calling this spot. I'm thinking caster of some sort, or maybe rouge

Edit Actually I just thought of it. I will be an elven warmage

i dont know yet, scout or mild spellcaster

I'd be interested in either submitting a cleric or pyschic warrior for this game. What type of pantheon are you using? Standard D&D?

Here is my character, I've not done background and equipment just yet, but will put that up at sometime soon. If there is something about my character you don't like (mostly likely the traits, flaws and extra feats, but you did say use the books so I did) I've no problems with fixing it

Background:[sblock]
Thamior has been alone ever since he could remember. One day he awoke in a field, remembering nothing, not even his name. Thamior thought hard long and hard trying to remember who he was, and what he was doing, but he couldn't remember anything. He then named himself, Thamior Amastacia was what he named himself. That was a year ago, and over time he had began relearning things that he used to do outta of necessity. For reasons unknown to himself, Thamior had always hated goblins ever since he awoke. Any chance he had he would hunt them down and slay them.

Use anything presented in the ten books I okayed. They are basic books that covers most aspects of the game that I have.

If you wish, you may create your own god but remain to only using Domains given from those books.

I have hinted at and will say here- this is a slightly planar-type game.

Just curious about the Flaw /Traits you have. I recall that being Iron Kingdoms. Are those from the ten books andthus I am just blanking on the book it orginates from?

Looks good. Background would be appreciated. It appears the first contestant is in.

Also- Equipment. I am being generous at 50,000 gold each.
