  Ultimate Role Madness Hellgame (aka "Mintleaf can't count to 3")
Posted by: wingedcatgirl - 11-10-2022, 07:00:16 AM - Forum: Signups - Replies (29)

Navigation: Game thread


Story:
Welcome to chaos. "Chaos, chaos!"

Rules:
  1. Listen to us when we say things.
  2. This is a mafia-type game. In the day, everyone picks someone to eliminate. At night, the scumteam picks someone to kill, and anyone with night actions chooses what to do with that. You get your win conditions in your role PMs.
  3. No godmoding, puppeteering, etc. Your character is your character, other players' characters are their characters, the NPCs are NPCs.
  4. No editing posts. If you made a formatting mistake, holler a mod. If you made a wording mistake, double-post.
  5. Please no turbolurking. Try to post at least once per day. Ideally more. If you need to drop out, drop out, we'll find a replacement.
  6. This is a murdergame. You might die, you might roll scum. Please don't enter as a character you're not okay with those things happening to.
  7. This game is definitely not balanced. We tried to at least discourage massclaims.
  8. Speaking of not massclaiming, private game-related communication with other players is not allowed outside of designated channels. If you're not in a masonry, a neighborhood, a scumchat, or a deadchat, there will be no DMing here or on Discord. You can still freely use the Murderverse OOC thread and the Discord channel, of course. (And obviously you'll be able to do whatever you want once the game ends.)

Roles:
  • oh god oh fuck there's so many of them
  • Each player is first randomly assigned an alignment, then randomly given two alignment-appropriate roles from the above list, at random.
  • Most roles may appear up to three times total if the RNG wants them. Masons may appear four times.
  • In the highly likely event that you have multiple night actions, you may only use one of them per night, except for Announcer, Messenger, and Necromancer, which you may use alongside other actions.

Cast:
This game will have a minimum of 13 players, and no maximum. Signups will be open until a period of one week (168 hours) has passed and 13 players have signed up, then one day (24 hours) after that.

  Toontown Showdown 2
Posted by: PointMaid - 11-02-2022, 20:04:25 PM - Forum: Signups - Replies (30)

Welcome to Schadenfreude Studios! The studio with the biggest animated blockbusters anywhere! Literally, we will blow up your block and animate it. A family-owned and operated studio for three generations!

As always, we're on the hunt for new talent. And what better way to find out who's ready for the spotlight than to have all the applicants compete against one another? Be careful, the competition can get cutthroat!

Judging you in this competition, and in life, will be the co-owner of the studio and co-star of the Schadenfreude Sisters Shorts, Lotta Schadenfreude, and one of our oldest and most beloved stars that have been with us from the beginning, Mincer Mouse. You'll have to try to impress them to have any chance of winning and becoming a STAR, and these two enjoy it when the competition gets rough and ready. Do you have what it takes? It'll be a test not just of physical stamina, but mental ingenuity as well.

Please pick up your studio map and remember to stay on the studio campus.

Map

Good luck, and watch out for falling anvils,

Lotta Schadenfreude [PointMaid] [Image: 685797_pgvPR4bH.png]

*

Toontown Showdown 2 is a Dangan-style murdergame, meaning there are no roles; anyone can kill if they choose to do so. In addition, players will take part in challenges for a chance to win nightly immunity.

GAMEPLAY
* Each day, the main soundstage will have another set constructed and you will be given a new map for it and allowed to explore. After which the challenge will begin and players will have to do them within the time limit. The challenge responses will be judged by Point and Hammer. Both hosts will choose the winner(s), who will receive nightly immunity.
* During night phase, players will PM both hosts on what actions they want to do. The maximum cap for nightly murders is two. If multiple players PM kills, they will be chosen randomly. Do note if no one sends in kill PMs, one random player will be killed off during the day.
* Once day phase begins, it's investigation and voting time. Players look for evidence with actions that are RNG-based from 1 to 10. 1 failing miserably with the possibility of evidence getting destroyed and 10 being where things go way too well. Players will have until the deadline to investigate and vote.
* After investigation/voting time ends, the soundstage set will be re-done and you will be given a new map. And like before, explore and do challenges, investigate/vote, repeat on and on.
* Murders can happen during the day. But you'll be visible during the day if you do so unless you and the other player are in the same room.

RULES
1. Since this is a cartoon-themed murdergame, only cartoon characters are allowed. They can come from animated TV series, shorts, movies, anime, and comic strips. If you must play a non-animated character, please run it by Point and Hammer first.
2. Standard murdergame rules apply. No godmodding, no turbo-lurking, be nice to your players, no editing your posts (double-post if you need to make a correction), remain in character in thread, don't post in thread if you're dead (or give off hints on who killed you).

  The Hazelton Murders Sign Ups
Posted by: ThatShiningOrange - 10-31-2022, 21:00:28 PM - Forum: Signups - Replies (6)

The Hazelton Murders
You and 9 other people are brought into a pleasant town named Hazelton as investigators to solve the murder of the town's mayor, Charlie Pines. 
Gameplay
Gameplay would work similarly to Murder in Small Town X, where players participate in RNG style missions to find clues each day, with the player with the most amount of points would become the Lead Investigator for the day. At the end of the day, the Investigators choose two people to go to two different locations in the town. (One person is chosen by the Lead Investigator, the other is chosen by majority vote.) One location will provide another clue for the murderer's identity, and at the other location, the murderer is waiting to kill the other person.


Rules
1. All forum rules apply.
2. No Godmodding.
3. No turbo-lurking. If you sign up, try to post at least once an in-game day, preferably more. If you cannot participate for any reason, contact me and a replacement will be sought for.
4. Whilst jerkassery and the occasional off-color comment is okay, NSFW, inappropriate, or outright disruptive stuff is not.
5. This may not be a murdergame, but your characters still have the chance of dying. If you're not ok with this happening to a character, please choose one that you would be okay with them being killed.
6. @LavenderDream is my Co-GM, when you're sending DMs, remember to include them as well.
7. Less a rule, more a reminder, this is a heavily experimental concept, so little things may be tweaked here and there sometimes, but I promise nothing game-breaking.
8. This is more hybrid game than murdergame, because despite having murder, the murderer is an NPC as opposed to a player.

  A Thread About Nothing (aka the Seinfeld thread)
Posted by: Kennifer - 09-11-2022, 15:54:24 PM - Forum: Media Discussion - Replies (3)

Because I know I'm not the only one here who loves Seinfeld.

So talk about your favorite characters, episodes, scenes, lines, yada yada yada.

to start with my favorite character is George. I love that he can be so sneaky and petty and manipulative and still remain incredibly pathetic. Like his little rundown of his life in "The Andrea Doria" where it's just one unfortunate incident after another (usually caused by one of his schemes backfiring). Though my favorite George moment (as well as one of my favorite moments of the whole series) is the scene in the cafe near the end of "The Marine Biologist". The whole "The sea was angry that day, my friends..." scene. It's classic.

Other favorite episodes of mine include "The Yada Yada", "The Puffy Shirt", "The Contest", and "The Chinese Restaurant".

So yeah let's talk about the show about nothing. :D

  Choose Your Own Adventure
Posted by: Lofour - 08-27-2022, 08:02:40 AM - Forum: Forum games - Replies (3)

Took from one of my TV Tropes' forum games. In this game, someone makes a CYOA-styled post with 2 or more choices, and the next person chooses the choice they like, continues the story with it, puts 2 or more choices on their post, and so on.

Example:

User 1: While venturing through the woods, you come across a temple. What do you do?

A - Enter the temple.

B - Ignore the temple and move on.

User 2: A - Enter the temple. You enter the temple and see some statues holding gems. There is a sign on one of the statues that say, "Steal this gem and perish from this world." What do you do?

A - Take the gem.

B - Leave the temple.

C - Get a gem from the other statue.

User 3: C - Get a gem from the other statue. You ignore the statue with the sign and go to the other statue to grab the gem. However, the temple suddenly begins to collapse once the gem is in your hands. What do you do?

A - Leave quickly with the gem in hand.

B - Put the gem back in its place.

Rules:

- The protagonist cannot die.

- New stories may be started after a number of posts have been created. However, the story must have an ending, whether it would be a happy ending (the good ending), a downer ending (the bad ending), or a bittersweet ending (a mix of the good and the bad endings).

I'll start: You have been ordered by the King of Troperia to find the magical Emerald of Truth, which is said to give the person who keeps it magical powers. It is located in a small castle in the forests of Amplapia. When you arrive at the forest, you see a dark cave with an ominous red glow. What do you do?

A - Investigate the cave.

B - Ignore the cave and move on.

Signup Thread | Murderverse OOC Thread

The game is over. The Innocents and the Survivor escaped safely.

Plot:
You found a letter in your mailbox advertising a spa getaway, and thought to yourself, you deserve a vacation. So did 14 other people. And then one of them FUCKING DIED. Now you have to figure out who's killing you all off - before they overwhelm you all.

Mods of this thread are us (@wingedcatgirl), @Caret, @Despair's Archon of Memes, and @MadameButterflyKnife.

Rules:
  1. Listen to the GMs when we say things.
  2. This is a mafia-type game. In the day, everyone picks someone to eliminate. At night, the Death Cultists pick someone to kill, and anyone with night actions chooses what to do with that.
  3. No godmoding, puppeteering, etc. Your character is your character, other players' characters are their characters, the NPCs are NPCs.
  4. No editing posts. If you made a formatting mistake, holler a mod. If you made a wording mistake, double-post.
  5. Please no turbolurking. Try to post at least once per day. Ideally more. If you need to drop out, drop out, we'll find a replacement.
  6. This is a murdergame. You might die, you might roll scum. Please don't enter as a character you're not okay with those things happening to. After all, you accepted everything that will happen from now on.
  7. ... this game is hopefully more balanced than MitM 1 was. But we'll see. Hopefully any unbalance is still the fun kind.

Introduction
After a long bus ride, you've finally arrived at the luxurious underground spa. You take a few moments to drop your things off in your room and check over your itinerary - it looks like today is a free day.

It's fairly late and night will fall soon, so it's not like you have time  to do anything really elaborate - why not take this opportunity to mingle with your fellow vacationers? Or just relax in the hot tub.

The Stubborn Unicorn inn stands at the heart of Kirkdale, one of the few Rashboldian villages that joined the capital as one of many floating islands. The inn itself is lively enough, with a lot of locals and a handful of visitors eating, drinking, and making merry.

You found yourself sitting at a table near a window that overlooked a large meadow, alongside a few other adventurers much like you. An envelope was left open upon the table, with a short message within:

"If you're reading this, you're one of the adventurers I, the Snide Snake, chose for their quest. Stage one of this quest will occur here on Rashbold. You will seek a key, gold with a ruby handle, which will be necessary later. I know little of who has it - only a "wrathful monarch, sitting upon a throne undeserved". That's what my messenger said, anyway. Good luck."

-Mysteries of the Floating Islands-

It's been about a year since your homeland became one of many floating islands above a cloudlike floor. Initially, there was the shock of being newly nestled in an unknown realm, but, after a mere month, bridges were improvised, and flying steeds and ships traversed the perilous ravines. In time, it almost felt like nothing happened.

It wasn't until the letter arrived that you truly remembered your old way of life, your old neighbours and landscapes. The letter was a short note, but still more than a little impactful:

"To the potential adventurer,

"I know who broke the world. Go to the Stubborn Unicorn inn in the town of Kirkdale, on the island of Rashbold (the one with the big cliff and the castle). You won't meet me. Further instructions and allies await.

"Yours truly,

"The Snide Snake"

This letter did indeed intrigue you, and it wasn't too hard to go to Rashbold. There was maybe even something you wanted - or needed - to do. Undeterred, you found your way to the inn, a timber-framed building among many of its kind upon a cobbled street, and strode inside.


----

Welcome to my fourth attempt at an RP here. To condense the above paragraphs, you're all in a fantasy land consisting of floating islands of all sorts of terrain and culture. There's an overarching plot about trying to figure out what caused the lands to become like this, each island has its own big story, and there are loads of dungeons and settlements to explore. Now, let's get on with the basics:

The Engine
For each action you wish to take, simply submit it in an emphasised way. For example:

>Punch the Skeleton King

Please only use this for non-trivial actions that require GM input. (Entering a building is a valid use of this, for instance, if you don't already know what's inside.)

Actions that are tests of skill will use a modified version of the "Roll to Dodge" system of scoring, done on a D4:

* 1: Failure with consequences (the Skeleton King blocks with his sword, slicing your hand severely)

* 2: Failure with no/light consequences (you miss and stumble)

* 3: Adequate success (you land the strike, knocking him back)

* 4: Great success (you land the strike, breaking one of his bones or dropping his sword)

Rolls can be modified with items, abilities, and the various situations you find yourself in.

A successful roll grants you 3 XP. Being at an advantage for that roll reduces that to 1. Being at a disadvantage increases it to 5. Whenever you accumulate 15 XP, your XP track resets and you Level Up.

Whenever you level up, you may do one of the following:

* Increase your HP by 10.
* Get one of your items, spells, or traits improved by the GM.



Character Building & Restrictions
The character building form is located here:

* Name:

* Gender:

* Species: (Pretty much anything goes. If you think your species warrants a little explanation, explain it here. Keep in mind that, to enforce variety, only one character of each species may be in play at any given time. Humans are the exception; there can be three humans of different ethnicities in play at any given time.)

* Appearance: (Make a note of anything that isn't covered by the species - distinctive marks, clothing, ect. Just keep it at 50 words or under. I would prefer no images, but it's not a deal-breaker if they're included.)

* Backstory: (Write out your character's backstory in around 100 words, maybe more or less.)

After that, I'll build your character. Each species has its own equal mix of positive and negative traits (except for humans, which are unavoidably a blank slate). Further traits will be provided by your character's backstory. You will also have a starting inventory of 3-5 items, including sets of clothes. (Note for aspiring spellcasters: your starting pool will be 2 different spells at most, but you can have up to 6 different spells at any given time.)



The Different Islands, summarised
This is a list of the main islands of the RP. These are the ones that can be casually visited via bridges or easilly-attainable other means. Humans are present on all of them. You can make up more, but don't expect to visit them.
  • Rashbold, the Royal Kingdom: This sleepy kingdom is under siege from a huge dragon, which burns down villages and farms like there's no tomorrow. King Edward Rashbold does his best to calm the citizens, but isn't any closer to dealing with the winged menace. (Western European High fantasy. Lord of the Rings and such things.)
  • Ozubené, the Clockpunk City: Full of amazing inventions, bustling colleges, and sinister guilds, this largely-urbanised island hides a lot of grime under its colourful surface. (Renaissance-ish Urban Fantasy. Dishonored and Assassin's Creed are major inspirations.)
  • Ferbyldlan, the Wonderland Queendom: Fairytales and metaphors come alive in this fairytale realm, where even the strangest of things can show up and ask you to join them for tea. Good luck finding a way to go there, though. (Narnia, Alice in Wonderland, ect.)
  • Kuyama, the Shogunate in the Mountains: A war between two daimyos was brought to a halt by the obvious circumstances of "Where the FUCK is everyone else?". But, between the heavy tensions between the two lords, a lack of resources, and the general incompetence of the Emperor, the peace may not last much longer. (Sengoku Japan, mostly influenced by folktales and such.)
  • Cheng'en, the land of Three Kings: In the remnants of a great empire, three warring monarchs have taken the scraps of what's left - and have every desire to rebuild the empire in their image. (Think Journey to the West meets the War of the Three Kingdoms.)
  • Risam, the Oasis Kingdom: The dead have stopped staying dead in the desert sun, as pretenders to the Pharaoh's Throne scramble to blame one another and devoted priests accuse one other of heresy. (Ancient Egyptian-esque. Mostly inspired by Magic: the Gathering's Amonkhet block.)
  • Bir-Amal, the Sultanate: Nestled in the middle of a scorching desert, this tiny nation prospers from a bountiful well, providing water since time immemorial. But, with signs of the well running dry, the locals are starting to panic. (Arabian fantasy, mostly based on 1001 Nights.)
  • Qullachaka, the Besieged Temple: Once a bustling city surrounded by villages, Qullachaka has been swiftly reduced in size by plagues, conquerors, and new wildlife. The only surviving community leader, a renowned priestess, does what she can to help her people from her temple. (Incan-inspired, no fictional reference point)
  • Columnasos, the Classical Empire: In a realm of high-pillared temples, togated philosophers, and overcrowded pantheons, only one empire, led by the famously egomaniac Alessandrus Ioulous, rules its people - whether they like it or, more likely, not. (Ancient Greece and Rome, mostly based on Magic's Theros plane.)
  • Yakni, the Young River Valley: The peoples of Yakni have far more change on the horizon than just the whole floating island stuff; the discovery of iron smelting a few years back, for instance, has made farming easier - and weapons stronger. (Inspired by the Mississippian culture, no fictional reference point.)



Current Party Members (three required to start):

LOCATION: ???

[The last thing you remember was watching the news.]
[A psychotic cult calling itself "the Virus Fragments" was quickly rising in numbers and wreaking havoc in Alpine County. The main building of the renowned MAE Robotics and AI Institute had been set ablaze, its trusty administrator nowhere to be found. You had initially dismissed this as fearmongering, the mainstream media blowing things way out of proportion as usual—until the Fragments broke down your door. What happened next went too fast for you to process; all you can remember is one of them shooting you in the eye with a blow dart, and then blacking out.

Now, you've found yourself shocked awake, crudely tethered to the wall with electric wires. Several others are there with you, some conscious, some unconscious, all hooked up to those tubes. The room is dim, lit only by the occasional candle. Where the hell are you?

Suddenly, you hear footsteps. Looking up, you find a staircase on the opposite side of the room, with two sharply-dressed individuals descending it. The copious red accents on their clothing betrays them as Fragments—were they the ones who brought you here?

The man with the mustache is the first to speak, his glasses flickering menacingly in the candlelight.]


"Greetings."
Rules

  1. @MadameButterflyKnife is my co-GM, so treat her the same way you'd treat me. If she says something, listen to her.
  2. No turbolurking. If you sign up, then for all intents and purposes, you must participate until you die. If, for whatever reason, something comes up that prevents you from being an active participant, PM me or Knife and we will remove you from the round and search for a replacement. If you don't post for 48+ hours without giving us a reason for your absence, you will be removed from the round and replaced.
  3. No godmodding or puppeteering others' characters. Your character(s) is/are yours, others' characters are theirs. Easy enough.
  4. Editing posts is strongly discouraged, as it can be used to hide important information. You can just as easily make a second post correcting anything that was wrong in the first one, or holler a mod if a formatting error happens.
  5. If the pace of the game is too quick, I'll install a slowmode. Just try to be chill, alright?
