A new idea: Trialing Warfare
Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:49 am
"HALT!!" The order echoed across the field as the General stood in front of the legion of men that stood to strict attention in front of him.
~~
This is a new type of RP idea I have been thinking about (sorry if you know others who have done this before but as far as i am concerned I came up with it) This was probably born out of playing computer games too much but here goes:
~~
"As you all know the enemy are encroaching rapidly." The servicemen nodded as the General paced in front of them. "The time calls for a new approach. 7 of you are being promoted, it is mandatory and not an option.
"2 of you will be placed second below me and help to control the main push. The rest of you will take teams of 4-6 men and attempt to flank the main force of the enemy."
~~
Ok as stated I need 7 men to play the promotees. I will be playing the General. Basically what this RP will do is ask you to be able to write for a team of 4-6 players rather than just the one though the focus will be on your leader (main char). I don't know how well this will work but if it doesn't then we will break back down to playing the individual chars.
~~
"Your men will follow you to the pits and back if need be." He glared at the assembled men untill they shuffled and shifted their gaze. "I will keep in contact with you via these mirror~gems" He held a red object in the air which glinted "For preference you may choose the colour of your gem" He winked at the nearest soldier who grinned nervously.
~~
Sorry for switching between story and OOC mode but I like to get a feel for the chars and for as much to be RPing as possible.
As stated you will be able to contact me and the other chars via gem (they project a small image of the char who is contacting you and the surrounding area) though you may also team up with others as well. you may disobey me if you wish but I'd prefer that everyone didn't turn evil ok?
If you really don't want to play a leader then you may just join a players team.
~~
"Everyone clear?" The men nodded in the affirmative: none would oppose him even if they wanted to, not yet anyway.
~~
Basic Info:
Era: Medievaly kind of Era
Magic: small amount but nothing world-changing
Enemies: Mostly human but with a few monsters thrown in for variety
Natives: Human and wild animals (mostly canine)
Character Specs:
This will be complicated but initially all I want is your Main Char
Character sheet is unspecified but include what you think is neccessary (inc gem colour ). If additional info is needed I will ask. The teams will either be done by me or by individual players (we'll take a vote later). Characters should be human or humanoid (no dragons I'm afraid though halfs are acceptable provided they are more human in appearance)
I like my RPs to be as user friendly as possible and to this end any suggestions, be it for minor plotlines or badguys, PM me and I'll consider them. If they are practically possible I will try to incorporate them into the RP story.
The General's Char sheet will come soon.

"Good Luck Men!!" The General yelled before selecting the victims...sorry volonteers.
