[QUOTE="Sparky, post: 1690675, member: 13681"] This thread is dedicated to light-hearted one-shots and short, pithy vignettes to divert the associated participants. [b]Tale-spinners in the limelight: [/b]Hella na Haerad, played by doghead Mustafah-al-Rasheed, played by DrZombie Slate Vaslet, played by Ferrix Elial, played by Wizwrm [b]Tale-spinners in the wings:[/b] ... played by Gnomeworks ... played by Otakkun Stumbin Reck - The Badger of Arrowyn, Bearer of Sorrow, Thorn of Mishael, played by Sparky [b]Retired tale-spinners: [/b][b]Theme, Adventures, Story and Characters: [/b]The heroes in these tales are travelling with a massive caravan of nomad traders headed to the fabulous Kingdom of the Vale. Each adventure is a story told around the campfire some night along the way. Each adventure must have a Location, a Conflict/Villain, a Goal, a Twist and a Title. The first player (first by virtue of posting) kicks things off with... Player 1: [b]There we were[/b], deep in the sewers under Varan... (Location) Player 2: [b]Surrounded by[/b] the minions of The Dire Count Suvaris von Kelpsucker... (Conflict and Villain) Player 3: [b]As we[/b] sought to rescue the Tavern Keeper's blind pet basilisk. (Goal) Player 4: [b]Little did we know[/b] that the basilisk wasn't so blind anymore. (Twist) Player X: [b]This is the [/b]Tale of the Keeper, Count Kelpsucker and the Calcified Cloaca. (Title) The bolded words will always be used, but the first Player is not bound to describe the location. That Player could very well have described the goal, "[b]There we were[/b], rescuing the Tavern Keeper's blind pet basilisk," and left the other bits to the other Players. Any player who comes up with an alliterative title (all the major words start with the same sound - if not the same letter) that encompasses the adventure's elements will get an XP reward. The DM is very much in-cahoots-with-and-at-the-mercy-of the Players. In a fun way. Like a low pressure, light-hearted round of Iron DM. [b][b]Character Generation:[/b] [/b]For simplicity let's stick with standard SRD races and classes and a 30 point buy. While I don't intend to be the only DM here, I'd like to lay the ground rule that Players make and post their own rolls and that we keep meta-discussion of character stats to a minimum. I've really enjoyed that in other games and I think it will help maintain a certain degree of mystery. And away we [url="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1690681#post1690681"]go[/url]!
