A Bard's Tale - Multiplayer Thread RPG

[Bjorn]

Hello, folks. This is a little MTR as I call it, (Multiplayer Thread RPG) that I wrote. Sign up your chracters here, and you will be able to participate in the story.

               A Bard\'s Tale
                                       -------------
     
                                         Overview

A worn Bard limps into a bar in Hydlaa one day, and sings a tragic song on how an evil cult kidnapped his party and
sacrificed them to their \"god\". He tells how he barely escaped them, and began the long journey back to civillization.

                                            Base
Players start in the Hydlaa plaza. They can post anything they want about themselves. Players must have atleast 1 casualty
in the whole story; preferably 2 or more. Any player can develop the story as they please, but they have to stick with the
current plot.
Players post a description of their character, and a brief history on them. Post your clothes, weapons, armor etc. Every
player must post strengths and weaknesses. Try to balance them both out, for if you make your player invincible, you will
not be allowed to continue the story.
