Message: <blockquote data-quote="LostSoul" data-source="post: 5187838" data-attributes="member: 386">Rechan, would you like to try out a little exercise?  Basically it'll be like this: You make a character for The Shadow of Yesterday; I tell you what I'd do to create those Questions.  I picked The Shadow of Yesterday since it's a traditional game that I've played and it employs flags to great effect.  And it's free online: <a href="http://tsoy.crngames.com/" target="_blank">Main Page - TSOY</a>Let me know if you want to try it out.  I have a setting ready to go, the setting of a game I played in.[sblock=The setting]In a world ruled by demon kings, in a vast fantastic city governed by wise, magical, and totally indifferent immortals, one thing ,and one thing only, matters: treasure. Whether you are an intelligent talking monkey, an esoteric assassin, a pirate who has pulled into Oudison Harbour to escape demon-king fleets, an outsider has only one way to fend of the predations of a greedy criminal underworld: treasure. Can you find love, happiness, or a little grace in Aupothert? Key Words: Elric, Damon Runyan, Heavy Metal Comics, Roger Dean album covers, Glorantha's Pavis, The City-State of the Invincible Overlord, Kafka's "The Castle," Borges' "Labyrinths," Manhattan/NYC, Las Vegas, the pirates of the South China seas, the illustrations to Exalted. Aupothert (OWE-po-tert) - Far from the big empires that have collapsed into dust, ruins, or shifting tides of madness - Sheltered from the raging Great Ocean by the Desolate Sound - The parks, streams, clearings and forests keep the Demon Kings at Bay - The Governor's Island was a fortress island but the confident Qin have removed the human conscripts and dedicated it to peace. But they still haven't thought of some way to make practical use of it. - To the west of the mainland lie the ruined empires of the continent - The Western Bridge is the only connection between the Island and the the Mainland. - The Eastern Bridge leads to the Shanties, a collection of slum hovels populated by those who work on the Island but cannot afford to live their or enjoy its pleasures. - The Island is ruled by the haughty, beautiful, immortal, and completely indifferent Qin. For centuries they have tended the parks, squares, lakes, rivers and chanted their holy songs. While around them has grown a huge, cavernous, decadent city addicted to wealth and thrills. They continue in their daily round as if in a dream. But woe to any human, demonspawn, monkey, assassin, or pirate who so much as sullies one of the sacred precincts.[/sblock]</blockquote>
