A group of friends meet to playtest a new roleplaying game that has come out. The system is humanocentric. It also favors physical characters over magic. Magic in this system is too slow for use in combat, save for strategic mass melees. And mages gain little experience from combat. So they...

I've come up with a new roleplay idea. I like litrpgs but I know not everyone enjoys the number crunch. I've got an idea where OCs will go through games of sorts, combat, puzzle solving, ect. This will be done in arcs and there will be the possibility of character semi-death. (As with a lot of...

(Tried getting this off the ground a while ago and it kind of.....never did. So second time's the charm!) Sooo....I saw this image a while ago and...I think it speaks for itself. And I....un-ironically think this is a brilliant crossover idea. Scooby Doo's all about unmasking people, that...

Dark clouds slowly crept across the sky above, the pitter patter of scatter rain hitting the cobblestone streets adding to this gloomy day in Terberis. The usual hustle and bustle of the main city market was unaffected though, the common folk not letting a little rain get in the way of the daily...

Gaia, the Lonely Skies Gaia is a world where the elves live in their high trees, dwarves in their mountains, and humans in their kingdoms. Over the sky they it has become common to see the presence of magic zipping through the air and the touch of gods carve the land... however, there is one...

THE WHEEL OF AGES HAS TURNED... The cycles of creation see deities start close to their creation and very involved with the world, but as time goes on gods grow in power and vision and knowledge and most importantly DISTANCE from the worlds they create... eventually, they ascend into beings or...

Still interested?', or something like that. The last month and before have been unpredictable for...

Have you ever heard that expression: I’d give anything for (weath, answers, immortality …. whatever)? Usually the something is their soul or something they truly can’t afford to part with. You know, like their left (body part) or the family jewels - and we aint talking geology here. Well...

You awake in your cell to an unnatural silence, raising your wrists against the bed restraints that are... surprisingly undone. It is strange, being able to leave your metal surfaced bed without someone in a white lab coat at your side. Getting a clearer look at your room, you can see that the...
