Just a note... Im not a GM so there is no need to send me sheets. O.O
I want no ordinary lover. I want a storm. I want sleepless nights and endless conversations at four a.m. I want passion, I want madness.
I want someone who's able to make my whole body shiver from a distance and also pull me close to make sense of all my bones.

Ah... Sorry, BeeP, I sort of assumed, as Ember said she was after a Co-GM and was going to be picky about who she chose, and as you had the main female lead!

Personally I think you'd make a great choice for Co-GM, but it's up to the two of you (obviously).

Please check out my latest A/A post.

I haven't officially named a co-GM yet, although unofficially, I may denote some GMly duties to Vampyre here and there.

And we cannot just relax and let it go. We've learned to cope in ways you never had to." ~Author, Piers Anthony

I have my hands too full with Salem, Mass Exodus, Survival, and (potentially) Durmstrang when it gets started, so I dont really have the space to take on Wonderland too. XD

Which reminds me... I need to hunt for Alice pictures so I can do her sheet.

Tagging the White Knight, with a sheet to be provided shortly.

My O/Os. My A/As.
Games I seek:
Savage Worlds of My Little Pony <- Just what it says. Free supplement for SW. (Or any other MLP RP!!! :D)
Eclipse Phase <- Posthuman grit SF, open source, downloadable from their web site. VERY deep worldbuilding.
Cold City <- Espionage meets the Lovecraftian supernatural. Allies in post-war Berlin chasing down the results of secret Nazi experiments
a|state <- Post-apocalyptic sort-of-steampunk, sort-of-high tech roleplay in a massive, decaying, broken-down city-state.

Think I'm hitting a bit of a slump, but I'm not coming up with much in the way of awesome and will relinquish the White Rabbit role.
It's all good, and it's all in fun.  Now get in the pit and try to love someone.

I'm interested in the White Rabbit.  Is a female version all right?

Okay. Thanks for your interest.

Yes. A female version is fine.

Spiff! 

I'd like to stake a claim then.  'll work on her CS.  :)

I should have a Red Queen for you tomorrow. It's all pending my ability to find a suitable image for her honestly.

*giggles* Blast. Bunny-girl was going to be my first choice...

But then again, given the PM conversation we had, Ember, probably better I stick to the big nasty reptile!

Our lovely White Knight offered up this solution to the Kings.

One possible alternative way to look at it:

While Alice met the White King, the Red King spent the entirety of the book asleep (she sort of met him, she saw him at one point).

The Kings might exist but simply not be active on the chessboard. Which makes things tougher for everybody who feels they have to accomplish something since there is no possibility of a 'checkmate.'

Which I quite like. This means I or our queens can NPC or mention them in our posts without having to actually worry about them.

I thought I'd see what you lot thought about it. 

Also, if Koka and whoever ends up as our white Queen wants somebody to play their King, I have no problem with that either. Personal experience in the past has just pitted the kings as hard to come by and retain in my mind.

I think that is an excellent solution. Let's face it, the biggest move a king makes on a chessboard is a Queens-side castle.

Just out of interest, I had a look to see what position on the chess board the J would occupy...



I'm guessing a rook on the Red side. (Seeing as the Tweedle Twins are the white rooks. I think the Crow is one of the red  pieces?)

I'm trying not to get too far into the whole chess thing. But yes. A rook sounds about right.

Yeah. It barely even factors in my mind, when including the cards as well. Elements of it, sure. But as more of a background thing.

*chuckles*

Okies.

Oh, incidentally, a couple of other characters people might want to consider, for when all the other characters are taken:

The Lion and The Unicorn.

The Lion and The Unicorn were the first characters that came to my mind when I saw this game.

I totally forgot about them. But you're right, they would be good additions.

The walrus and the carpenter too.

I'm fine with NPCing them or if someone wants to play the King I'm fine with that.
Question though... if I NPC the Red King can they turn out to be a rather masculine looking woman (perhaps she fools most people) or even someone that falls into the category of "other"? Or must it be a male to truly be King?

Nah. I'm very 'lax with gender roles here. Last Wonderland group I was in, the Red Queen was a drag queen, and I loved it! So I have no problem with a masculine woman being a king.

Awesome, thank you :)
I might go ahead and do up a sheet for them then... just to keep things clear.
