REGISTRATION CLOSED

Adventures in Vue is a fantasy roleplaying game developed by myself in cooperation with an excellent team of beta testers: The Wanderers (Landeril, White Elk, Rodzaju) and The Blue Team (Dr.zli, Swizzle66 and fexen).

Each player joins a team, creates a character and fights it out for supremacy on the battlefield. Read the basic rules here.

Along the way, I provide a narration that offers twists and turns (often based on your own choices), context for the skirmish and manage the game (rolling dice for damage, moving characters along the map, etc.)

After completing a battle, your character will often gain a level, granting him/her new access to special skills, spells and stats, new character subclasses and more!

To make it even sweeter, several contestants take home free "GOGs". I will announce the rules for winning GOGs before we begin the contest, but each participant should have at least a 25% chance of winning a GOG!

Accepting 6 new players for pt. 2 of our adventure. If you are interested, create a character, post it here and indicate which team you would like to join and you're in! If you find the task daunting, let me know and I can make a character for you until you learn how the system works, then you can level him/her up as you choose! (Just indicate what class: Mage, Rogue or Warrior.)

If the Blue Team and the Wanderers return for pt. 2, we will resume the story where we left off. So it may be a 6 on 6. If not, it will be a 3 on 3 match. We'll see how it works out.

Till then, after creating your character, feel free to sign up for any of these spots:

The Black Brigade: The Black Brigade are a strange bunch, skirting the line between ruthless and righteous. They were involved both with the abolition of chattel slavery in the area and the perpetuation of black market dealings. It would be accurate to say they have a unique conception of morality, which often means advancing individual free will at the expense of all else, including: the law, the community's sense of decency and more.

Today, the Black Brigade is best known for its service in protection of The Ring, a Coliseum with attractions ranging from the cute and cuddly to all out battles to the death. Their service in defense of the Ringmaster and his patrons has made them a deadly fighting force.

Spots open for the Black Brigade:

1. CowboyBebop (Warrior: Xirdneh)
2. JudasIscariot (Rogue: Jack the Knife)
3. Sielle (Mage: Lewendor)

The Cobra Division: So named because they are the ones that get down on the ground and do the dirty work. Cunning and powerful, the Cobra Division is the deadliest special forces unit of the Kingdom. When called to work, they put all on the line in defense of the King and his realm.

Though often demonized by opponents of the King, the Cobra Division does not, in fact, have access to a file of information on each individual citizen in Northbrook.... just most of them. The dead ones? They throw those out.


Blue Team:

1. dr. zli (Rogue: Sly Cooper)
2. swizzle66 (Warrior: The Milkman)
3. fexen (Mage: Arc'Nak'Kar)

Wanderers

1. Landeril (Warrior: Exile)
2. WhiteElk (Mage: White Elk)
3. Rodzaju (Warrior: Heroditus)

Turns are run SIMULTANEOUSLY for all groups...

There are two parts to a turn...

Part 1. Movement turn:

You may do any or all of the following at this time:

1.) Deal with effects from last turn. (Choices/consequences based on your location.)
2.) Each character decides where to move (you don't have to move.) The map is then redrawn.
3.) Exchange an item with a character in your square.
4.) Consume a potion or use an item.

When you have decided, make sure to contact your team captain and have him post the choices for your group.

Part 2. Action turn: Here's where everything else happens.

You may:

1.) Use a skill or spell (or not)
2.) Attack an enemy within range (if your skill/spell allows it.)

When you have decided, make sure to contact your team captain and have him post the choices for your group. Ideally, you should inform him of your intentions during the move turn if possible, so he can carry out your orders without waiting for further contact, but this may not always be possible.

From there on in, it's all me. I will:

1.) Post story updates, if there are any.
2.) Update the map, if anyone died or changed locations due to a spell/skill.
3.) Post effects, depending on the spot you ended your turn in.

Which brings us to... a new turn! So it continues until the game is over.

Blue team and Wanderers, please sign in as well, to verify that you want to participate in the next game. I already have half of you down, just checking on the rest.

If we get all of Blue Team/Wanderers back, then basically Blue Team will be cooperating with one of the new teams and the Wanderers will be cooperating with another. So it will be balanced.

Your character sheet looks great. Just make sure to add the uses you have for each skill/spell in parenthesis. So it should look like Rage (1), Tank (1). Signing you up for the Black Brigade. Welcome! Exile signed up for the Wanderers. Welcome back, captain! Yup, your character sheet looks just fine. Welcome to Cobra Division!

The game won't start for a few more days, maybe a week, so feel free to look over the game rules (link posted in the first thread), to get a sense of things.

If you want to get a sense of how the game is played, you can also drop in on the current game thread here.

Thanks, and will notify you when we're ready to go!

Hi honey, I'm home.....

Welcome Heroditus, signing you back up!

Pfft. What kinda Captain would leave his team alone. Elk and Hero need their fearless leader!

Yes, indeed!

Player name: JudasIscariot

Character name: Jack the Knife

Class: Rogue

Brief Bio: Sly and shameless are two of the more polite words used to describe him. Jack is a conniving pickpocket who will do anything and try anything for fun and profit. Armed with a silver tongue and a rapier wit, he sets out to pilfer everything not nailed down and steal the nails holding the other things down.

I would like to join the Black Brigade, please. Sounds like my kind of team :D

Welcome to the Black Brigade! Character sheet looks right, just be sure to indicate how many uses you have for each skill in parenthesis. Like, Coat with Poison (2).

I think 2 for both of those but double check.

Signing you up!

Probably a week before the game starts, so feel free to peruse the blog to get a better sense of the game or even watch the current thread that is going on now. Welcome again!

I added fexen (Arc'Nak'Kar) to the blue team as he will be returning as well! We now have everyone from both the Blue Team and the Wanderers returning!

So now we just need 3 more signups to fill in the new teams!

No one else wishes to join the great The Cobra Division? Don't you want to join the team that already knows everything about you? It's like a family! And remember, a bonus perk is that you'll get access to your own file we have on you. ;)
