Night-Mare (free-form email: fantasy, modern, horror, grand adventure game) From: Nightmarestory@yahoo.com (JC) Date: Fri, 05 Oct 2001 21:44:46 +0000 OUTLINE Two Adults. One male and one female. Two Teens. Also one male and one female. Two Children. Once again one male and one female. Six total people. All Six awake together in a room, unsure of where they are, and even more frightening, unsure of who they are. They must be someone, they must have some history, yet currently it is not known. Will it ever be known? Will these people learn to live and work together? Will they ever escape from the NIGHTMARE? ------------------------------------------------------- INTRO The above tells pretty much what this game is going to be about. I assure you there will be an ending to this game, although at the present time I can't tell you when it will be. This is something new I'm trying. Throughout the game the players will learn more about their characters............, their histories, what they are capable of, what they fear............ Make no mistake, this is a story-role playing game unlike any I've heard of before, and one that I think will appeal to both old and young alike. The game will contain elements of fantasy, science-fiction, modern, horror, and of course adventure. This is a fiction based game, so people who wish to play need to keep that in mind so I don't hear any "that's not possible!!!" Or "That doesn't make any sense!!!" Your characters are all from the year 2001, but that doesn't mean that's where they will end up <grin>. You will be confused at times, the whole idea of starting not knowing a thing about your character sets that up. Players should be able to post often. -------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO JOIN What I need from you if your wanting to play. (Best to copy and paste into the email you send me.) 1. Your first name. 2. Your gender and birth date. (month/day/year) 3. Your Role Playing and PBEM History 4. Other games your currently involved in if any. 5. What drew your attention to the game. 6. Which Character you think you'd like to play. (The female adult, female teen, and male child are still left.) 7. How comfortable you are with allowing the storyteller (me) to have final say on almost everything. 8. How well you think you could play a character that you know nothing about, and incorporate what you learn throughout the game into your role playing. 9. Comments/Suggestion of plots you'd like to see. Also any questions you may have for me. 10. Comment on your fave past character that you've played in any RPG or pbem, and tell me that characters high and lows. -------------------------------------- HOW TO MAKE THE FINAL CUT What I will look for. 1. Writing ability (yes, answering those questions will tell me that). 2. Experience (New Players are welcomed, but if your wanting to play one of the children I would like you to have a good background in both role playing and pbem games........ as playing children is no easy task to pull off.) 3. How well I believe you'd fit into the group I'm planing. 4. How well I think you can handle this type of game. PS. IF, and I do say If becuase I hope the game can stay free-form, but IF a rules system is needed at a later date and time the Fudge system will be used. I'm more interested in storytelling and role playing, as opposed to strict rules and roll playing. Referenced By Up
