Open to more characters.

Darkness... The afternoon sun was suddenly blocked out and nothing but darkness remained. A growl could be heard, dripping thickly frustration and disdain. Kelly slid herself out from beneath the vehicle, cursing it and anything else she could think to blame her misfortune on, even as she wiped the blackened motor oil from her face with a dirty sleeve. It would take ages to salvage the parts to repair small buggy. It would be a dangerous task as well, the raiders seemed to be more aggressive lately, and she would make for an easy target without her patchwork creation of rusted metal and engine parts she pretended was a serviceable vehicle. A spanner wrench crashed loudly into a pile of scrap on a cluttered work bench. "Maybe I can trade some fuel or some ammo for a little protection... Or labor, everyone has some gear they need fixed, the wasteland really wears equipment down." She brushed her straying red hair from her eyes and took a deep breath.


Would anyone be interested in some post-apocalyptic roleplay, possibly Fallout based?

yobo

I like the post-apocalyptic setting, but haven't played Fallout, so it would have to be a more "general" post-apocalyptic setting. Do you have any other thoughts about where you want the roleplay to go?

Just to let you know, I don't have much experience with roleplays, and none in a forum like this. But if you still wanna do something with this setting, I'm intrigued.

Meeka

The Fallout setting isn't a must by any means, it's just one that I'm familiar with and one that many people can identify with. A more generalized post-apocalyptic setting would be fine. I have nearly zero experience with forum roleplay as well, so you're not alone there.

yobo

I skimmed through parts of the Wikipedia-article on the first Fallout-game, and it sort of reminded of the Mad Max-movies at first glance. Spinning off your first post, a setting where vehicles are essential for survival, but fuel and spare parts are hard to come by and the desolated landscape is dry and strangers must be approached with caution. Maybe small societies has emerged around oil reserves or water. There could be scattered pieces of roads with tarmac left, but mostly you have to drive around offroad.

Does any of this sounds good?

Meeka

That sounds fairly accurate to me and as long as we both have the same basic idea on the setting I don't see any problem at all. Also, I ADORE Mad Max movies.

yobo

The Mad Max-movies are always great to watch.  :-)

Do you have any ideas regarding to what we would do in the roleplay? Like a quest or something like that. I was thinking about doing some sort of a traveler, maybe looking for something in an area he doesn't know very well.

Erotisch

Now this sounds like something I'd be interested in being involved in.   ;D

Fallout is something I've never played but going by the descriptions here, I don't think it would be too difficult to RP.

Meeka

It's great to have some interest, I'm going to think on specifics overnight, and maybe we can share some ideas tomorrow. I don't mind playing the roll of "pseudo-DM " and playing out non player characters and working plot elements in, if that would help.

Meeka

I was thinking that if there's at least more than one person interested I could turn this into a small group roleplay, say no more than 3-4 players including myself, as long as no one who has show interest so far has any problem with it. If we do end up going to a small group roleplay then I can set up the scenes and locations and play minor characters during the story, depending on how things play out. I'm fairly new to forum based roleplay, so I'm not exactly sure how everything is supposed to play out, but I am kind of thinking it doesn't matter so much as long as everyone is having fun. Maybe we can start with a small writeup on characters, nothing fancy, just a name, physical description, profession of sorts, and maybe some of their motivations or goals, this may make it easier to see how characters might relate.

Erotisch

Meeka, I'm going to pull out of this now. I'm sorry. I have just been placed on hold and I have to wait 6 months to reapply, so I'm going on hiatus for a few months until the time to my reapplication nears. You'll get more interest, I'm sure.   :-)

Meeka

Aww okay, I appreciate the interest, and if you change your mind this roleplay is staying non-adult so I think you can participate if you like. I'm sorry that you got placed on hold, I would still be happy to welcome you into the roleplay if your mind changes. I hope you have better luck in the future. Best wishes.

yobo

I have no problem with having 3-4 players involved here. Hopefully someone will jump onboard.

Too bad about your application, Erotisch. Hope too see you here again in the future.

Meeka

I'm going to go ahead and create an in-character thread for this roleplay. I'm thinking that things can start in a tavern of sorts, as most classic adventures do. I'll writeup an introduction and a description of the location, along with a short writeup of my character. Once you create your own description for your character, I'll add it to the post with mine. This way we'll have a starting point and an organized list of our characters and any other characters we decide to add. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on a better way to do this?

yobo

A tavern in a sort of a rough community sounds like a good starting place. I'll do some thinking about my character, and see if I can't come up with something.

And it sounds like a good idea to get a in-character thread started, that way it won't just die away waiting for more people. Something "more people needed" in the thread title will hopefully get some more people joining in.

Meeka

#14
I agree with that. My biggest regret so far is the thread title on put on this thread. I think many people are skipping right over it, not realizing the sort of roleplay request that it is, which is my fault. I'll put a link to the in-character thread in my original post here as soon as I create it.

And I just noticed that I can, indeed, change the title. Hopefully this generates more interest.

yobo

I noticed the change, almost made me miss the thread.  ;D

Meeka

How ironic! I have it and the IC thread bookmarked so I can pick up on new post easier. Luckily, it changes the information in there too.

yobo

I liked the opening in the main thread. Will get my character down on paper when I get home from work today.

Capone

Hey guys, just dropping my interest in here. I'll give it a more thorough look tomorrow. I'm seeing if we can get the non-Adult section more active so newbies will have more to do and anyone put on hold still has reason to stick around.

Meeka

The non-adult section does seem to be a little inactive compared to the rest of the site. Of course, no one can be blamed for this since this is primarily an adult roleplaying board, but non-adult is just as fun! I hope you decide to join us Capone and I look forward to your character Yobo. I'll flesh out the opening a bit more as I get a better idea of what sort of characters will be be playing.

Capone

Alright, my intro is up. Sorry it's a bit rushed. Real life is starting to interfere.

Meeka

No problem, feel free to take your time, I don't think anyone is ready to get started just yet anyway.

Capone

Right, so I didn't realize youtube links automatically posted the video in the forum. I removed it so it wouldn't be so...well, what it was.

Meeka

Haha. No worries. I thought it was a little odd also, but I assumed it was intentional so I wasn't too worried about it. I'm going to wait a bit and see if we gather anymore interest here, if not I'm going to get started with the two characters you both have made and if someone shows interest after they can be worked into the story in a different way.

yobo


vietatoSconosciuto

Ive played fallout 1,2,3 and NV to many times to count but this is something i would love to be part of

Meeka

Sure, we're always looking to welcome more players Vietato. When you get the chance feel free to go ahead and create your character writeup. I'm hoping to create the first in-character story post either today, or early tomorrow. I think most people who are interested have seen the thread at this point, so I'd like to go ahead and get started.

Sanai

Ooooh, looks interesting. Ill make a character soon if you dont mind.
What have I become?
My Sweetest Friend..
Everyone I know..
Goes Away in the End.
You Could have it All...
My Empire of Dirt
I will Let you down...
I will make you Hurt.

Meeka

Sure, feel free. I'm going to run some errands today and get the roleplay started when I get home.

Meeka

Hmm... Thread is pretty quiet today? Is everyone ready to go?

Capone

I believe so. I realized too late that a character passing out in a post-apocalyptic setting is invitation to loot his stuff and leave him for dead, but I'll be hoping for some kindness from strangers.

yobo


kingmaster1

ooh I hope I'm not too late to join, I am really interested in this. I can make a character soon if you will still allow me to join  :-)

Also I am also fairly new to this, so I was hoping someone could maybe PM me (if you can) and maybe fill me in on what I should do with a character bio  :D

Capone

I don't think we're doing character bios for this one. Go ahead and write in a post if you'd like.

kingmaster1

sorry if i sound kinda slow, but should I write it here or on the actual post?


kingmaster1

okay, hopefully mine is good. If you need me to change it I will though.  :-)

vietatoSconosciuto

sorry i didn't join in i had to away for a few days without my laptop  :-(

FrostShifter

Hope you don't mind, I just jumped right on in there. :D

Capone

Ah, sorry folks. I'd have responded earlier, but I didn't have this thread bookmarked it seemed. I'll get to working on a response soon.

yobo

Good to see this moving again, so I made a post as well.

kingmaster1

I really do love this  :-) and hope we keep it going  :-)

Capone

I wanted to wait for Meeka before posting again, but I might put something up tomorrow.

kingmaster1

yeah I hope she comes back, she did start it  :P so I would def, want her to be a part of the RP she started (also I got approved! this is awesome  XD )

yobo


kingmaster1


kingmaster1

I hope a little violence is okay, If not I will delete it and redo it  :-)

vietatoSconosciuto

sorry guys about how bad my posts are, kind of new to this but i love your post kingmaster and congrats on being approved.

kingmaster1


kingmaster1

I'm hoping that some people come back and help further this whole thing, cause it would be tough to start making people's desicions for them, or to just abandon them (still holding out hope Meeka comes back  :-\ )

vietatoSconosciuto

would be nice to move on could have alot of fun on the road

kingmaster1

I'm hoping Frostshifter and Yobo put a post up soon I'm hoping people haven't lost interest   :-)

yobo

Sorry for holding you guys up, but I'm stepping down from this one. Have written myself out of the story (at least for the time being, you never know what happens in the wastelands  ;)).

Have fun on your travel.  :-)

FrostShifter

Don't be afaid to give me a nudge every so often. But I do agree with waiting to hear from Meeka before we get to far along. I am excited to do this one. Naive young doctor with an uncertain future, sounds like so much fun! 

kingmaster1


FrostShifter


Capone

I'm gonna see if I can contact Meeka. She wanted to write a post to get things started, and it is possible real life has interfered. I think she had something in mind.

kingmaster1

anything you guys wanna do that keeps this going  :-)

FrostShifter

The bar brawls would be more fun if we can manage to have one where all the characters are involved. kind of a bonding experince.

kingmaster1

definitely, but would you want me to re-do my post or just plan some for later?

FrostShifter

You left it open enough for more to plan. After all they weren't the last of whatever gang you go going on there. :D

kingmaster1


vietatoSconosciuto

im up for some fights in town first but, i need to test out my new crossbow :), if were staying at the bar i might have to run in to the boyfriend again at some point.

FrostShifter

No preferance where it's held, mostly because she doesn't have a weapon yet. I still wouldlike to wait for capone atleast before I reply. :/

Capone

Can I request that you guys slow down until I can get in touch with Meeka?

FrostShifter

So I take it no word yet? That's okay. Afterall real life can consume. :D

vietatoSconosciuto

sorry for going to fast and how do you edit posts because i put 'Gregg looked for somewhere to sleep' when i ment sit instead of sleep.

Capone

Unfortunately you can't modify a post until you're approved.

vietatoSconosciuto

ok thanks you lot know what u ment to say. oh and if anyone would like to do a zombie rp ive done a interest thread thing so check that out  ;D

vietatoSconosciuto


kingmaster1

sure thing capone, we'll slow it down until further notice  :-) . I guess we can try and keep in the same town and work some of that out

kingmaster1

I hope that in slowing down people don't lose interest  :-(

Capone

Meeka sadly doesn't have contact info outside of the boards. I sent her a private message, but she hasn't responded.

kingmaster1

so, do you think we should keep going or wait until further notice?

FrostShifter

Just saying, I'm still here but waiting for an answer from Meeka.

kingmaster1

hi frost  ;D yeah I hope Meeka comes back or we can keep going on. I miss RPing this  :-(

kingmaster1

so, has Capone been on recently? cause if Meeka isn't coming back (worst possible situation) we should keep going

Capone

She hasn't responded, so I'm assuming life's gotten in the way. I start a new job and won't have so much time for multiple RP's, so I'll be dropping out as well.

Sorry.

FrostShifter

We can always start a new thread so that this one is here for meeka when she gets back. OR if we keep this one, Capone, Can you write yourself out so it'll flow better, perhaps? Just ideas.

Capone

It should work fine enough if your character, FrostShifter, tries to wake him, but he just waves her off and stays behind. He hasn't made any decisions to go with them, after all.

FrostShifter

Sounds good. Then I'll reply shortly and we'll try and get this running again.

kingmaster1

hmm  :-( well it was fun while it lasted capone  :-)


and I hope we can keep this going effectively

kingmaster1

okay I think I effectively wrote capone out, but if you ever want back in capone we may be able to fix it.

FrostShifter

Just gotta say, sorry my post was so short. I'm a bit distracted but I wanted to let ya'll know you can start traveling when ready.

kingmaster1


FrostShifter

Wow I don't know what happen to this last week. lol I'm off to check and hopefully reply!

Meeka

Hello again everyone. Sorry about abandoning my own threads, it's not something I generally do, I was just having some issues at homes and it was causing me a bit of stress. It's not an excuse for wasting everyone's time, I know, and I'm pretty excited that everyone seems to have taken their own initiative and started their own roleplay! Again, I'd like to apologize for wasting everyone's time, and I know that getting excited for a roleplay only to had it die out is awful. Hopefully there's no hard feelings and if I can do anything to help at all, please let me know!

kingmaster1

MEEKA!  ;D I'm so glad to see you back!, yeah we basically started this whole thing off with the unfortunate loss of Capone and Yobo. hopefully you can write yourself in (if you still want to be a part of this). We did want to wait for you but we have left the immediate town. welcome back BTW  :-)

Meeka

Thanks for the warm welcome back! I'm sorry to see the loss of Capone and Yobo, that's likely my fault. Give me a bit to read through the history of both the IC and the OOC threads and I'll see if there's anything I can do.

ileana

Heya,

if you guys (and gals) are still writing on this, I would be interested to join. I'd just have to read through the whole thread first, but the setting sounds interesting ;)

Ileana

kingmaster1

I would love to see more writers on here ileana, but it is still Meeka's thread so I should let her decide if we can add more   :-X

Meeka

I think that anyone can jump in if they decide to, it seems to be working well so far. I am back, but I have no intentions of taking over the thread or anything like that as everyone seems to already have things going on. I'd personally love to see more activity here, and hopefully no one will mind if I join the current roleplay at some point. The in-character thread is still listed as open, and I like the idea of an open roleplay, especially for people who are going through the approval process and can only access certain parts of the site.

I actually, after reading the whole thing, have an idea for a character that would be your counterpart, or rather Marcus'. So don't you just shoot her in a second or something *laughs*

I will post something that lies on the way to the next town, you guys can of course post a couple of times more, before you arrive at that spot if you want :)

ileana

Just a quick note, that I am still here. Just did want to give the others a chance to jump in before going on :)

If you guys are still taking extra adventurers, I'd like to take a stab at this Fallout RP. I haven't read the thread yet, but it looks damn interesting.

tell us what you think, more writers is always appreciated :P

Then I've got a perfect way of getting into the RP with where Julia is taking it.


Meeka

I've been meaning to post something myself in the IC thread the last couple of days. Unfortunately, I discovered League of Legends the other day and it has all but consumed my life as of late! Hopefully I can manage something when I can manage to pry myself away from it and actually do something constructive.

LoL will destroy you(r free time). Careful now. :D

FrostShifter

I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop out. Next week, college starts for me. with that plus work and art school, I'm not going to be able to keep up with a group roleplay. I'm to miss using Julia and Archie.

BTW, what I have planned won't kill her, so if you'll just like leave her in the next town, perhaps one day I can bring her back into play.

TheRedGuy

This RP still alive and well? After I get caught up on reading the happenings so far, It looks very fun.

kingmaster1

okay frost the part will always be here for you, it was fun while it lasted  :-)

Sorry to see you leave, but I'm sure we all understand. Please do come back one day - it'll be fun for all of us.

sorry ive not posted for some time its taken me a while to settle down after Christmas but once ive read through all the new post i will post something

Les Man

So it's been four days without activity on this thread, is the RP still going?  If it is, I could totally get into this, especially since it's an original setting and not based strictly on Fallout or Mad Max.  I'd even most likely continue RPing after I get approved.

What is the IC thread's name?  (I'm asking before I actually have looked with my own two eyes.)

Hope somebody responds, thanks.  Later.

doh!  thank you, Ileana.

...Okay I read it and I like it.  All the characters are cool and the story flows very smoothly and dramatically, I feel.

Hope you don't mind if I jump in with a semi-Postman-inspired character?

Hey guys I'm also a new member and I'd like to pass the time before approval with some old fashioned role playing, and some post apocalyptic action sounds right up my alley! Would you be down for letting another person in? I promise to be quick on the draw and diligent in my efforts to contribute to an entertaining role playing experience. 

Les Man

oy, I don't know, Sexomancy...

I might've killed it just before you got here...

I was actually gonna mention that earlier.  Even before Mr. Depressing (my char) I thought you guys had a "classic" mix already.  And no offense but Marcus seems like a really nice guy... but I swear he's psychotic... just a nice psychotic, lol

Hey guys I drew a picture of my character and posted it on the in-character thread but it came out much bigger than I anticipated. Since I remain unapproved, and unable to delete posts, if someone could delete if for me I would greatly appreciate it and I will try to repost with a much smaller picture. Much apologies, I'm trying to figure out the image posting thing and almost got the hang of it.

Les Man

#127
I don't believe we can delete it, it doesn't look like I can.  I don't personally really mind the big picture since you apologized, if it bothers anybody else though, we could ask one of the Moderators to fix it for you, Sexomancy.

You could also ask for a advice on how to make the picture smaller on your introduction/questionnaire thread and someone will most likely answer.

I also want to ask the group, would you mind if I post in response to Sexomancy, since it wouldn't affect your story yet?  I ask because I don't know if you are posting an order or not.

That is actually quite easy. When you put in your link you get a [img ] [/ img] tag to put in the URL of the picture. Into the first brackets you put the width of the picture you want to have. For example if you want it 300 pxl wide the tag you would use is

[img width=300]http://URL[/ img] without the space after the /

thanks! art school manages to pay off from time to time. you guys did a pretty good job of finding live model photographs for your characters, but if you'd want something more accurate to your descriptions I'd be happy to do portraits of the rest of the party as well. (Free of charge, of course).

kingmaster1

I would love to see what you could do with a picture of Marcus  :-) *if you don't mind of course)

I'd like to join in as well. That is if it's not too crowded.

kingmaster1

well, I don't want to start turning people away. I think we will be fine with one more character  :-)

Les Man

At the risk of sounding negative or pessimistic... I'd like it if some... more active players joined as well.  So, even though I just got, I'd like to say welcome aboard, too.

I'm wondering what happened to the thread's DM? I'd love to join, and the story looks great so far but I don't want to impose myself on the DM or anyone else. Okay, I'm writing myself into town now.

Les Man

I believe the original post-er disappeared from this SL before I got here.  I doubt she'll mind.

MrModular:  If you want you can introduce your character to "Vincent and the fireman" ...and then kingmaster1, who also seems active still can join, us ...then once (not if, when, be hopeful) the others join back in, we can pick back up on the finding-the-dead-doctor story-arc, or whatever it was exactly, heh.

It would be like doing a side-quest before the main mission in Fallout/Elder Scrolls lol

yeah, I know how you feel les. as for the DM was Meeka and she seems to be on and off (primarily off) and I kinda just took the reigns. hopefully the rest of the group gets back on, in the mean time feel free to wright on  ;D

MrModular

Hi kingmaster, I have a question. Do you guys go by a system of any kind for actions or turns or is it pretty much at DMs' discretion whether or not actions botch or succeed?

Les Man

haha!  yes!  Sounds like you play World of Darkness games maybe, lol.

Everybody here just tries not to do anything absurd, keep it within the confines of the setting and your character and... yeah, nothing, really.  Freeform, baby  :D

yeah, it's pretty relaxed around here. I say, if your in a fight (for example) it's your call wether you win or lose. If you fight another person's character talk to them about it before finishing the fight, but don't make the fight last too long.

MrModular

Yes, Les man! I played Changeling:The Dreaming and Mage: The Ascension quite a bit. Thank you for straightening that out for me, guys.  ;D

Les Man

Oh that's awesome.  I've ALWAYS wanted to play MAge, but never could find the crowd for it... Changeling I admit gets more interesting the more I hear/read about it.  I myself played Werewolf: The Apocalypse and ST'ed Vampire once (also played).

I've seen a couple others on here with an interest in Old World of Darkness (I'm a hater against the new stuff, sorry).  We should try and get something going maybe.  I know I'm still in need of a couple more good SL's.

Good luck on your acceptance.  I hope you get it!  (PS, they say 3 days minimum, but it may take four or five, lol.  Hang in there!)

Yeah, I see a lot of how even Changeling has changed with so many different races and whatnot. I always stuck with the basics. Both Games offer great set and setting with enough flexibility and variety to please anyone.

I was SL for a few campaigns on a couple more free form forums a while back, I'm just a little out of practice nowadays, Hoping to sharpen with time and practice here.

I see a bunch of people who've been approved who have come in after me, but no worries. I trust the Admin staff have their reasons and are busy enough. I still can't wait to get going though!  ;D

MrModular

My bad. By SL I meant DM. Curse this non editing. Sorry for any confusion.  :-[

Les Man

Ha, don't worry at all, I knew what ya meant, heh.

I kinda-ST'ed one Werewolf game online, but it was more like I bitched everyone back in line when they went goofball with their characters...  somebody had to, I still believe, lol

And a side note:  yeah at first I was like, "sexism!" because a bunch of Ladies got accepted before me, but after a while I chalked it up to females are just in general nicer so they would get through faster, lol, y'know?  But that's just my one, joking, little opinion.  The site's great.

Heh, yeah. It's a bit much to deal with a room full of goofballs in your kitchen, I can only imagine. Of course there was one time when I played Changeling using nothing but rock paper scissors. That got a little out of hand.

I wasn't going to cry sexist although I did see a fair amount of ladies get approved. Ah well, better safe than sorry considering some of the creeps skulking around the internet these days. Agreed no less, this is the best RP site I've been to, ever.

Les Man

Now I'm not really accusing E, it was just a "humorous observation" lol

As for the rock-paper-scissors thing... I've heard about that before and that just sounds insane.  How could that possibly work, I've always asked

Oh, no doubt you weren't accusing. I was humorously observing also. :-)

Rock paper scissors got weird quick.

Also, I see sexomancy has been absent for a bit. Are things generally this pace around here?

Les Man

lol... do the three of us want to start a different thread to RP in?  Or just keep it going between ourselves until things pick up?

or should I just be quiet and wait?  heh

I don't see why we can't keep at the existent thread. It will be there should the original posters come back.
