Interest Check for a short Fantasy Game

    Hello, everyone! I'd like to try running a short fantasy game, to see how well I will do. If I do well enough I might try running a proper long game later.

    The game is meant to be short – basically just one or two random encounters. Thus I am looking for one to three players.

    There will be no dice rolls – success and failure depend on character actions and is influenced by things such as skills and equipment.



    The story:
    You've heard from a reliable source that the young lord Greywood is in need of a few adventurers, and you would like to be one of them. You are on your way to Castle Greywood to meet the lord when you have a random encounter...

    That's it. Pretty simple story, little more than an excuse for the game.



    Character Sheet:

    Name:
    Race:
    Gender:
    Sexual Orientation: Optional
    Appearance:
    Background:


    Skills and Spells:
    Note: The more specialized a skill/spell is the more powerful it is. For example:
    A Fire Mage, an Elementalist and a Wizard all cast Fireball. The fire mage's spell will be the most powerful and destructive, the elementalist's would be in the middle, and the wizard's would be the weakest. However the Wizard has the largest repertoire of spells, while the elementalist is limited to just elemental spells, and the fire mage is limited to just fire spells.


    Inventory:
    Note 1: The amount of coins the character has is included here
    Note 2: Starting with magical items is allowed, but remember: Everything has two sides. Starting with powerful magical items is no exception...


    Long-term goal(s): Optional for this game, will be mandatory if I make a proper long game

    Example of the difference between long-term, medium-term and short-term goals:
    Eric is looking for his missing mom. Finding her is his long-term goal
    Eric has heard about a certain mage in the city of Stormwind who specializes in Divination. This person might be able to help him find his mother. Going to Stormwind and meeting the mage is Eric's medium-term goal
    The city of Stormwind is on another continent. The best way to get there is by ship, however such a trip costs 2000 coins, which is nearly 1000 more than Eric can afford right now. He needs to earn enough money to afford the trip – this is his short-term goal


    Fetishes:
    A list of fetishes you would like to see and, more importantly, a list of fetishes you do NOT want. They apply only to your character, so two characters can have opposing preferences. For example:
    One character could like anal and find watersports disgusting while another character could like watersports and find anal disgusting.


    Random Number:
    Pick a random number above 0. No decimals


    If there's enough interest I'd like to start the game some time next week, so no need to rush making a character.

    Any questions, opinions, or suggestions?

    For a short game, I might be able to do something. Curious if all our characters are westerners or they could be like foreign travellers. I think I might have something, already. Unsure.

    Well, this is a fantasy world where magic allows teleporting at great distances, and it is even possible to be from another world – portal magic that allows travel between worlds is rare and thus expensive, but it exists. As long as the character can travel on land it should be fine.

    Well, it is supposed to be short – just one or two encounters depending on player choices - but if a player decides to spend 10 pages slowly seducing and then fucking a character – I'm not going to object...


    Player characters start on their own. They could meet and even work together, but they don't have to. This means that it is possible for a character to finish the game ahead of another – it's up to the players to decide what they want to do.

    Name: Kagami Yura
    Race: Human
    Gender: Female
    Sexual Orientation: Heteroflexible
    [​IMG]
    Background:

    Deep within the shadows, the Kagami family lies in wait. When brought into the light and out in the open, their enemies quickly discover that it doesn’t make it any better. Both in and out of darkness, they aren’t any less dangerous. Doubling as soldiers and secret police, they operate effectively and with little restraint.

    Samurai more concerned about carrying out their master’s will than how they accomplish it, even their patrons have been disturbed by the lengths they will go. Even if it means leaving the homeland to carry out their objectives.

    When given the order, Yura was actually happy to accept the mission, having mostly settled into a quiet life, off the battlefield and off any rooftops, it didn’t take long for her to admit that after her arranged marriage and having her children, what she missed most was just good old fashioned combat. Decorated soldier and assassin, she lives to test her weapon skills with extreme prejudice.

    Skills:
    Spear Mastery
    Diverse Weapon User(While not an expert, she can handle a sword and bow, competently. Understands how to properly use western swords, but is average with them. Katanas she can fight much more effectively with in comparison)
    Lockpicking
    Athletics
    Stealth

    Inventory:
    Gold: (Not sure how much is good to start with) 100?
    Flexible light armor
    Eastern clothes
    Spear
    Oriental Steel Sword
    Short Blade(Hidden, obscured at the back of the waist by clothes)

    Artifacts:
    Season of Rage(Oni Mask):
    Capable of granting the wearer, impressive physical might and even a resistance to flame, the greater danger lies in that once put on, it’s an effective weapon when against massive numbers in the battlefield, but not to be used frivolously for just any reason, lest you risk offending the warrior spirit of the mask with using it for a stupid reason...

    Long-term goal(s):


    Fetishes(Probably forgetting a ton. Too many things to list off the top of my head)
    Anal
    Rough
    Non-con
    Incest
    Impregnation
    Rope
    Killing
    Non sexual torture
    Oral(Receiving)
    Mind Control



    Random Number: 7

    Just setting a baseline down to, come back to and figure out the backstory later. Not sure how many skills she should have or if it matters that much if it's only going to be a short game. Also not even too sure about the imagery so that may still change. I overall like it though, so maybe not...really can't say.

    So, no idea if this will end up going longer or not. I won't be against it, if it does. We'll just see how things go.

    She looks good so far.

    I too am not sure how much gold would be good, but 100 seems fine.

    Name: Joshua
    Race: Human
    Gender: Male
    Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
    Appearance:
    [​IMG]

    Background:
    Joshua is from a small order of mages that practices a very unusual style of magic. Called "Beast Magic", it allows them to mimic the spells and some of the abilities of creatures that are not normally available to humans. The downside to this magic is that using too much of it at one time (or using a particularly powerful spell) can leave the user in a feral state that can only be broken by consuming raw meat (which usually comes from whatever they've used their magic to kill) or mating with a humanoid that is physically compatible. He is being sent out on his first quest to practice his magic in the real world for the first time.

    Skills:

    Book Smart
    Linguistics
    Quick Study
    Beast Magic Mimicry(If he sees a monster perform a magical ability, he is able to copy it and use it himself)

    Currently Known Spells:
    Iron Claws: His fingernails can cut through fairly heavy armor.
    Black Dragon Breath: Spits out acidic miasma.
    Hunter's Speed: Bursts of super-speed and agility.

    Inventory:
    Gold: 50
    Wizard Robes
    Walking Staff
    Spellbook (To write down the effects of the monster spells he learns)
    Magic Quill (produces its own ink)

    Long Term Goals:



    Fetishes

    Face/Tit Fucking
    Cum Marking
    Dom/Sub Situations (Can be either depending on what state he is in)
    Impregnation

    Overt focus on pain
    Watersports and scat

    Random Number:
    12

    Name: Beatrice
    Race: Human, aged 42
    Gender: Female
    Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
    Appearance:
    [​IMG]

    Background:

    In her youth, Beatrice was a skilled adventurer. But, due to circumstances, she was captured by monsters - that event has left its mark on her and somewhat twisted her character.

    She eventually retired and married an older teammate. She gave birth to a few kids and lived a happy married life. Eventually, her husband passed away, her kids grew up, left home and became adventurers, leaving her alone.

    And now, with her children gone, she was free to do what she desired... and with her husband gone - no one held her leash, anymore. The busty MILF sold the house and donned on her adventurer's armour again. And she went for one last adventure.

    Not for glory or riches, but to fall... for she longed for the times of her captivity - to be dominated, used and abused... to be in peril, to be blackmailed, to be conquered, to be enslaved for the rest of her life. She would embrace that fate - but before that, she would get as much fun as possible...

    Skills and Spells:
    very skilled swordswoman, skilled seductress, a skilled warrior, knowledgable, survivalist

    Inventory:
    Clothes, jewellery, basic adventurer's inventory (rope, tent, clocking devices, etc.), sword, 10 000 gold coins

    Long-term goal(s):
    Short term targets would be to have some good sex.
    Long term target would be to get herself enslaved, to be fucked stupid in some forgotten place, to fade from the world.

    Fetishes:
    BDSM
    slavery
    thigh-highs
    high-heels
    rough
    scat

    Random Number:
    5
