The Unknown: A Game of Fear, Ignorance, and Adventure

[Zemalac]

I wasn't planning on limiting the number of players in the game. Anyone who wants to play can. The more paranoid, scheming adventurers we have, the more fun this is apt to be.

Though I will probably rachet up the lethality a bit if the number of players gets too high.

 

[Dastardos]

Zem count me in, if that's all right with you.

 

[BoVinE]

Paranoia sits fine with me.

 

[Dragonrabbit]

It seems to me like it'll be awfully crowded on that there boat, which is fine until someone gets seasick...

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

Pfft. I have all 8 of my sea legs intact!

 

[MasterSqueak]

I'm in.

 

[Zemalac]

I've added dwarves to the list of races by popular demand (as in, there was one guy insisting I add them, but he was very persuasive). They aren't in their usual fantasy role, though--no miners and underground cities here. You'll find them in the sky instead.

Advantages and disadvantages will be up in a few hours.

Nice, I'll sort something out once they're in.

Is it still too late to join? I'd understand if it was

That's the plan.

Nah, it's not too late. After I post the advantages and disadvantages I won't accept new players for a while, seeing as we already have something approaching fifteen, but for now you can still join.

EDIT: Actually, with you we have eighteen players. Setting up all the missions and conflicts for this is going to be intense.

If it's a burden, I'll leave, but... this looks friggin' awesome!

Of course it's a burden. But not so much that I won't let you play. The more people we have, the more complex, epic and bizarre events will become, which is what I'm going for here. I'll have to do a little bit more work, but it'll totally be worth it.

I'm accepting players up until the point when I post the advantages and disadvantages (which will be in about an hour now--you got in just in time).

 

[Zemalac]

Advantages and disadvantages are up. The Unknown is closed to new players until further notice.

Let the games begin.

Can we make our sheets now? Or how exactly does character creation work?

^Points up^

Read the advantages and disadvantages post. Third post from the top. It tells you what to do.

 

[Dragonrabbit]

So how many do we pick of each exactly?You know what, screw it. I'll pick what I think you want and then you can beat me with a stick telling me to pay more attention next time.

 

[Sdaw]

If it's a burden, I'll leave, but... this looks friggin' awesome!

and i have to be gone for a while so while he gets stuff sorted out there will be on less person. (family trip)

so i'll set up a character and then leave for several weeks, then come back.

 

[MasterSqueak]

I sent my choices in.

 

[ThreeWords]

I'm in, but I have a question: exactly how odd is the Painted Elf sense of humour? Are they like the elves of old mythology, light-hearted and unpredictably malicious, often at the same time, or are they more like hyperactive jesters?

Both, actually.

That probably needs some explanation...

You know how I said that they change their customs (taboos, etc) without warning and without reason? There is a widely-held theory among the more exasperated scholars that they do it because they think it's funny. You can't really tell their motives: they might be malicious, or they might be enjoying a joke that you don't get.

Does that help?

It does indeed, and don't worry, I know exactly the kind of character you mean, but I wanted to check if I was right. Now I know, my decision is made and my character in the making

The Painted Elves shot up about 90 degrees on the awesome scale.

My thoughts exactly

and more snip

I'm curious as to how many people are planning as playing as Painted Elves, I know I made one, and I'm assuming you two did as well. Anywayz, I hope we don't end up with 15 Painted Elves and 1 Dwarf...
