first draft ( nothing offical just putting an idea out there)

[Ralkmere]

This RPG takes place in the time fame of the middle ages. ************************************* Rules: 1. This RPG will take place in the Dungeons and Dragons universe, if you don’t know what that is basically its about the same as lord of the ring movies, minus the gay love. If you didn’t watch or read about that then as said before it will be about the middle ages and dark ages, with swords and knights. 2. You can be an Human, Dwarf, Elf, High Elf, Eladrain, Orc, Oger, Dragonborn, Halfling, Tiefling, Gnome and half-Elf, half-Orc. Do not make convoluted characters with weird enhancements. People with weird, contrived, enhancements to their body, or weird social standards will be deleted from the RPG. In short...no cyborgs, gods, religious idols, or nut job( you can only reference a god only if your class permits it, in the world of D+D there is religious tolerance so no bashing other religions, breaking of this rule will lead to an permanent kick from this thread.) ---Dragonborns are for EXPERIENCED and APPROVED posters only. ---Tieflings are for EXPERIENCED and APPROVED posters only. --- Any character (or class) that’s from a “different timeline” (also known as, DTC) is for EXPERIENCED posters only. the main requirement to getting a DTC, is by having one accepted character and after a number of posts, you can then request to have a DTC. 3. Your arsenal of weapons can only be weapons from the D+D franchise; you can even use the confirmed weapons from middle ages and back. You cannot be or be a relative to someone that makes guns and accessories. Guns in general may become available later on. You can also customize your weapons too an extent. SEE THE WEAPONS SECTION 4. You can't arbitrarily kill other players, I know, it sucks. you can't control them either, but something like "they nodded" is fine, just nothing too drastic. If someone gives you permission to kill, that's cool. 5. You can control a group of characters, but do not create 1000's of characters and do nothing with them. Make them as you need them. 6. Do not be Overpowered. There is a difference between Skilled and Overpowered. A soldier with the rank of Private would not have the skill set necessary to fight off a group of enemy soldiers. However, an experienced veteran would. 7. Be balanced, If you have a curable disease, you get injected with cure for said disease, YOU HAVE BEEN CURED. 8. Try and participate in the story. 9. Characters must act as any character should. ---Orcs are a combatant race ---Elfs and Eladrin are a methodical race ---Humans are a cunning race ---Dwarfs should ACT like Dwarfs. 10. No Sex! Affection is fine...but all out sex is not permitted. Exception is granted to plot building devices. 11. No 21st century weapons and No 21st century references. A general concept such as company names is fine but specific product placement is NOT ALLOWED. ---No television shows ---No products (iPods, Xboxs, PS3s, video games, etc.) ---Company names are fine ON THE RARE OCCASION, as it has been established that various companies that exist today have been around sense those dark times. 12. Do not stall the story. Your character will be RPed as necessary to avoid the RPG from being put on hold. 13. Characters must stick to their affiliation. If you want an Orc character, prepare to play the role of the bad guy. Exceptions are granted on a case by case basis. 14. Spells cannot be made from other franchise ( example, the ki blast from dragonball z, or spells from harry potter books/movies), and there is no “Death touches” of any type. Only a few select spells can Alter time, if you are planning on using it, you going to need a really good plan and convince me its worth it. no spell can be done more then once per post unless doubled casted(which is an advance move); you cast a spell, it takes time just like catching your breath, spells can fatigue the body just like running. Yes there are loops holes to get around this rule, feel free to use them sparingly, if you over use the loops your will be put on a spell limit and may even be forced to forget spells. A General rule about spells and what you know little/nothing about don’t use them that way you’re free and clear of any wrong. 15. If a person makes a spell or item, your not allowed their made spell or item unless given permission. 16. The only execptions to these rules listed above is my approvel or 17.also anything to do with foresight is also forbidden. We can only guess at best, the future is always changing.(seeing the future is only for the poor and the low brow with no creativity) 18. Have fun ************************************* ************************************* Character Template: All fields must be filled out or the character will NOT be approved.

Key Posters are *Do not ask to be a Key Poster, You are chosen to be a Key Poster Peace has spread throughout the land, as newly enacted common laws forcing Halflings into slavery. The Paladin across the land has rejected the notion but propaganda to silence them, from the royal has caused increased tension .An increasing amount of Orcs association among the common has become accepted by some as other still reject it. Crime as increased all over makes living in rural areas even more dangerous to the point where small villages have begun to pay for military watch. The city-state Ragolith as begun to denounced all Paladins as other members of its military clam to have been denounced.

Please make a seperate thread

[Ralkmere]

will do, sniper, this is what i got so far, and your thoughts would be?( XD now i just got to think of a good name for the rpg )

[Grunt hive mind]

Can I make my own religion? I did that once in D&D.

[Ralkmere]

what do you got in mind? i am going to add some gods. although having a god mainly only effects those of divine nature.

[Hells Sniper]

I still don't like the idea of having it in the D+D universe... I feel like what you have here is just too much.. (backstory, classes, ranks, Rules 14-15) and again if this is Medieval Ages, Rule #11 is not needed. I don't think it will work... Honest Opinion.
