>.< My head hurts. Count me out, sorry.

Can we use Risus rules? It's a lot less confusing.

If what Gmer says is true, then YES, please. I'd still like to participate, I just don't have the spare cranial space for all that D&D info.

Under D&D 3.5, you have to fill out that huge character template.

Under Risus, you only have to fill out your character's name, what he/she looks like, and put ten points into various "clichés" or skills that you can use throughout the RP.

Is Risus in any way similar to these?
No, seriously though, Risus sounds much better.

I tried to say Risus was simpler, but you DIDN'T LISTEN.

Sure, go for it. Make a Risus character.

Does Risus have the same races, or any races at all?

I'm pretty sure that it does, although different races won't have much of a gameplay effect.

I can haz linc to Risus roolz?

Sure thing

It's really simple. Basically assign ten points to skills, like "Healing Magic", "Hitting people with blunt weapons", "Stealth", "Gourmet Cookery" (don't do the last one) and that's pretty much it. The higher the number, the better the skill.

And yeah, for gits and shiggles, we'll have the same races. Why not? Elves, Half Elves, Humans, Halflings, Dwarves, Gnomes and Half-Orcs all sound fine.
Tell you what, I might even cook up some little bonuses to make it have an effect!

Your link got 404'd.

Try this.

So we have ten points to spend on our skills, and all we need to put down is our name, race, gender, skills, and appearance?

If it's that way, I'm totally in.

Basically.

This will be awesome! By the way (this is a questions for the Doggy), will this RP have any action?

Name: Garrett Duklip (keepin' it simple )

Race: Elf

Gender: Male

Sneak - 4
Short Blades (daggers and short swords) - 4
Pickpocket - 2

Wait... you can sign up for characters already?

Name: Sylthan Sunfire
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Age: 1873
Appearance: Although ancient, Sylthan preserves the face, voice, and overall appearance of a twenty-five year old. He is tall and very muscular. He has long brown hair with perfect blue eyes, and a short beard that slightly hooks at the tip. He wears a green robe, the sleeves and sides cut off - revealing his muscles. He wears a pair of moccasins as well. He has a long green cape with the image of a large tree sewed into its fabric. At his waist is a beautiful golden shortsword, at at his back is a silver bow with strange looking arrows.

Abilities: Language of Nature (the ability to speak to both plants and animals) - 2, Marksman - 3, Blade - 5

Hope that works!

That's far too broad. What sort of magic does he specialise in? The other two are okay, but "wizard" just seems a little like a catch-all.


But of course. There will be plenty of combat, but also political intrigue!

Save me a spot i wont be able to make my character till late tonight

So how many characters do we need before we start this?

Ezekiel Demsver
Half-Elf
28
Shortsword-4 Stealth-3 Light Armor-2 Theft-1
All set?
Also: do we get to pick equipment?

Will the characters be going into the wilderness? I like the woods....
