Murder in the Dark

[Kelne]

Well, now that I've got some time on my hands, I'm dusting off the plans for a number of RPs. First amongst these is a murder mystery, shamelessly based upon an obscure piece of fiction. All those who are familiar with the name Roberto Brake need not apply.

As of yet, I'm undecided whether to make this a chat or board RP. It will likely depend on the people who sign up.

So far as setting and system go, it'll be based in Doma City itself, and I'll be using the windows system.

Any questions, feel free to ask. <p>"80% of my so-called friends would happily push me in front of a bus. Of course, the next time I saw them, I'd be driving the bus." - David McPhale, as Rob Muldoon</p>

Windows system?
where's the reference to that?

Also, due to time differences, I am mostly a Forum only person....

[Seethe347]

Here is a link for Window.

I might be up to this if it's a board RP.

Apparently, I had seen the windows system before: It is the system I used when role-playing my absolute first RP in my life using my very first character. I did not even know it is called "Windows" then...

Tempted to join, yes yessy...

First gen I assume?

And while I'd love a chat RP, I'll admit I'm not likely to be free for that on.... weekdays. And weekends are unavailable after the upcoming Saturday/Sunday. So board RP?

[Seethe347]

There is one thing I need to know about Window. What limits your stats and skills? You know how in Philsys you have 21 points to distribute to stats and 20+2*INT+2*WIS for skills? Well, does Window have a rule to that effect, or do you just use common sense?

Also, a little more specific information on the background of the story would help me.

I'm interested, but it may take me a day or two to convert my character sheet because I'm rather busy this weekend.

You can see the philsys version [url=http://p068.ezboard.com/brpgww60462.showUserPublicProfile?gid=thelorax21>TheLorax21</A:] at: 5/14/04 4:56 pm

Go ahead and use it. It's the system I tend to use anyway. <p>"80% of my so-called friends would happily push me in front of a bus. Of course, the next time I saw them, I'd be driving the bus." - David McPhale, as Rob Muldoon</p>

[wkz]

So, when is this murderer going to stalk us and/or we are going to stalk him? And will we all be dancing our merry dance in the dark on the boards?

and who is Roberto Brake anyway?

To belatedly answer Lys's question, it'll be first gen. Board RP, since that's the unanimous consensus amongst those who've signed up.

Seethe: Windows is a pretty common sense system, really. There are no hard and fast rules on allocation of points. Go with whatever values for stats and skills seem appropriate. Pervy's guide is very handy for this. In hindsight, a windows sheet isn't even strictly necessary in this situation, as I'm quite capable of working out sensible values on the fly.

To be honest, I've decided to do the initial concept as a spur-of-the-moment chat RP, as I feel it fits better. No matter, however. My diabolical mind has already come up with something equally sneaky. Or so I like to believe, anyway.

If there are no objections, I'll be starting things off tomorrow. The hunt for the murderer will be conducted by the patrons of an inn on the city outskirts. I'm afraid that's about as much information as you'll be getting until the RP itself.

Oh, and Roberto Brake is the protagonist in a mystery series I read on another forum some time back. I'll provide a link when it's all over. <p>"80% of my so-called friends would happily push me in front of a bus.

There is no fixed system used for 2nd Gen RPs.



... That is all I have to say.

[SALSAlys]

I'd like to join with Jessamin Copperhead, buuuut... I'mma need to do the sheet in a snap when I have more time! ^_^;; I'm at school comps at the moment, but shouldn't take that long to write once I get home.

[Celeste of Elvenhame]

Is there still room for people to join up, this has caught my interest. <p>---------------Celeste of Elvenhame ---------------

[Seethe347]

Here is the Philsys sheet for the character that I want to use.

[TheLorax21]

What time tomorrow were you planning on starting this? My sheet may not be converted in time, but I'll try to have it done if I can. The philsys version is already linked in this thread.

Edit: The sheet is converted and posted. [url=http://p068.ezboard.com/brpgww60462.showUserPublicProfile?gid=thelorax21>TheLorax21</A:] at: 5/17/04 6:13 pm

And that be char, though I'm editing char sheet a bit later. But that's the gist.

[Kelne]

Apologies to all concerned. I'm easily distracted sometimes. If anybody feels that I'm moving too slowly at any point, feel free to kick me.

To answer Celeste's question, yes there's room for you (and all others who've applied).

I will kick things off later this evening. <p>"80% of my so-called friends would happily push me in front of a bus. Of course, the next time I saw them, I'd be driving the bus." - David McPhale, as Rob Muldoon</p>

Dear wkz

I'm reading the RP, right?

And I notice that you're laying out the bar and the NPCs, declaring the 'only nekojin in the bar', ect.

That's the GM's job. Leave the details to him, he establishes them, not you. Or are you trying to take over the plot? <_<

I have the tendency to do that... describe locations that is...

[TheLorax21]

My apologies to all participating in this RP but I will be on vacation for a few days, with little or no chance to post. I will be gone from June 17th to the 22nd. Sorry for any inconveniences this causes.

[wkz]

Yohoo~~ ...... Anyone there?

[Kelne]

Alright, I'm not on it. Inspiration, that ever-fickle mistress, has deserted me once more. My apologies to all, but my heart just isn't in it, and I'm closing it down.

Should I so much as consider beginning another board RP without a lot more advance planning, someone is to shoot me. <p>"I didn't want to crush Moyle. I didn't have to.
