Here is the actual rpg: http://foru.ms/showthread.php?p=38838975#post38838975.
Well, im back to make another rpg. Note that this is not a freestyle rpg, but will utilize the GURPS 3rd Edition System.
Campaign Setting: The game will be played in my own world called Elyarith, and will be using a map I found on the internet here: http://www.wotmud.org/directory/maps/mainmap.jpg (the actual book that this map derives from has nothing to do with the rpg). The characters will be located in the city of Illian, on the south-most peninsula of Elyarith. Other than the three core books (GURPS, 3rd edition Basic Set and Compendiums I & II), the only other books that may be helpful (but not necessary) are GURPS Psionics and Martial Arts. Those are the only source books I will be using.
Pieces that may not be used for PCs:
Advantages: Magical Aptitude. Also, all Occult and Paranormal Advantages from Compendium I, except for the following: Animal Form, Extra Life, Immortality, Mindlink, Non-Reciprocal Damage, Psionic Resistance, Reciprocal Rest, Shapeshifter, Special Rapport, and Super Luck. Furthermore, the advantage Altered Time Rate may not be used.
Disadvantages: Sadism, No Physical Body, Astral Entity.
Skills: Magical Skills, Occultism, Theology (excluding Christianity), and all guns, high-tech vehicles, and anything that would not exist in the medieval period.
Also, the chapter on “Magic” may not be used for PCs. Anything that is considered related to magic directly (spells, magic items, etc.) is not allowed. There is no getting around this rule, and character may be penalized if they pursue a career in magic after the game starts.
Lastly, I am not sure if I got everything, I am not perfect, so I may add things to the list as I am reminded of them.
Character Creation Process: Players must design their characters using 150 character points, with a disadvantage limit of -60. PCs must be human. PCs may be of any “alignment” except absolute evil.
Come up with a character concept as well. Include some background on your history, personality and tendencies. Are you a member of any guilds or militias? Provide a description as to what you look like (body features, what are you wearing, and weapons and other items carried) according to what you purchase during character creation.
Dice: All dice rolls that are normally made by the players are still made by the players, even though this is a forum. Show dice rolls on a separate line with a space on top and bottom.
Starting Wealth: According to the Wealth Level you chose, your character gets a certain amount of money to start with. We will refer to this as “gold”. The average starting wealth for this world is $1500.
Other Rules: 1)) You must find a reason for your character to want to participate in this mission, and to reasonably get along with the rest of the group in and out of character. 2)) Swearing may get no harsher than “bloody”, “flaming”, and “dang”. 3)) All posts in the rpg thread are considered in-character. Everything that has little to do with the rpg itself must be posted must be done in the OOC. As for the in-character posting, all dialogue must be in quotations. All game matter such as dice rolls, actions, and such may be in normal text. 4)) You may control ONLY your own character, and you may not control NPCs as freestyling rpging allows.
Game Start: Please get me your character sheets to me as soon as possible via PM because I may have some questions. I prefer that all character sheets are done in Microsoft Word. I do not want faxed copies, or have to link to other websites. I’d like to start the game as soon as possible. You don’t need to complete your entire character concept right away before starting.
When your character has been permitted to join, introduce yourself as a player, and tell us a bit about the character you will be playing. Then, introduce your character (in-character) in the game thread. You may ask any questions about characters here in this forum.
As a note on my GMing style, it will be important for you to read carefully what I write. This will not be a vanilla campaign of hack and slash with easily identified enemies who will stand in front of you for a fair fight. Not everything will be as it first seems, there may be some traps, and some villains and monsters are intelligent too. That being said, I want everyone to survive, prosper, and enjoy themselves!
In your Character Concept I want to know the motivations and interests of your character, and some of its history. I will try to incorporate as much of that as possible into the game.
Thanks for your participation, good luck and good gaming!
