I think that because this is Fighting Fantasy, we can aim for quite a camp and pulpy backstory?

Um...Mannath stumbled across and rescued Tarrian from some evil lair?  She was chained in the treasure room, and he picked the lock to her shackles rather than the treasure chest?  They fled together, and ever since she has sworn herself to protect him.

In reply to Tarrian (msg # 21):

Lol! Fair enough, but no hanky panky though, this is PG. Just good friends...!

Yeah, it's Fighting Fantasy!  Three men go into the woods with a girl in a chainmail bikini, and all they do is look for treasure.  If we made it sexy it would scar my inner child.  :)

Perhaps the big scary female warrior sees the scrawny cut purse as a younger brother she never had.


Oh by the way hi Sam glad you got on board this will be fun and welcome Tarrian

The rules to FF can be summed up on one A4...I'd forgotten that.

Piece of blooming huge and lovely chocolate cake, with frosting on top, and possibly also a cherry or three.

We just need to figure out how the humans became adventure buddies with the elves, and we're all set to go!

Hi brother for and elf you don't half think of your stomach .... Let them eat cake

You thought it would be fun to arm wrestle us in a tavern bet.

You lost but everyone had fun doing it so we joined forces.

Simples!  Squeek

oh, and who plays Tarrian?? :) Introduce thyself (I won't call u wench lol)

How about my brother let it slip he was a Mage in a village where he was seen as a devil follower. Before we knew it I was standing on the gallows next to him bow in hand with a baying mob around them. You two happened along at the right time and helped knock a few heads together allowing us all to escape

You're flattering me, so it's okay to call me that.  I'm Verity, from the UK.  : )

And I love both the arm wrestling contest and the gallows rescue, pick one!

Greetings Verity! :D

How about you rescue us, THEN we go to the pub and have an arm wrestling match :D

Hi Verity I'm Jason and from London

Love it.  Sorted!

Hey Jason, I'm from London too!  I'm in Kings Cross.

Bet that's noisy and cold living in a train station. Are you related to Paddington Bear?? :)

I'm from Essex (NOT a chavvy part!!) but now live over in Wiltshire.

We're all Brits!  I guess maybe Fighting Fantasy was a UK thing?

I'm over in west ealing. Yeah a group of players that will all be posting in the same time zone

What about our GM though????

Irish in Dublin. :)

We're doomed.


Doomed!!!!!!

In reply to Vithrain (msg # 40):

To be sure!

Lol, I'm from Worcestershire, so it looks like we are a load of Brits and one Paddy! Excellent, and unusual for rpol which tends to be dominated by Merkins.

Happy with the background ideas. To clarify: I rescued Tarrian from a monster's lair then some time later we rescued the Elfy brothers from a baying mob then got drunk with them in the pub. Sounds good to me!

Never seen a drunk elf before wonder what that looks like ?

Yes a full UK team... very unusual but a nice change I always find it difficult in games where most if not all are in the states... the time difference really buggers up the game for me sometimes .... When I log on two or three pages of posts have gone by while I've slept and it takes a lot of effort to catch up.

Yeah, that's especially a problem during fight scenes. So this should be a blast of fresh air :D

Lets jump on in! Game on GM.

Turn to Act 1 now. :)

Will try to get an IC post in later today.
