Good day to you, dearest reader,

What I seek today is an opportunity to learn. I have created a character that serves perfectly as a main antagonist in a story. I have been playing with the idea of leading a long term RP with a group of adventurers, but before I can do that I wish to practice first.

The idea is this; I'm looking for people who are willing to indulge themselves in a short-term RP in which a small group of adventurers go forth to eradicate the source of strange events that are happening in a nearby area. The plot won't be the most mind-blowing experience, I must admit, but it will be good fun none the less, and I get to practice my DM skills!

So is anyone willing to help a fella out?

EDIT: we have enough people for the group. Thanks for showing interest!

This is cool... :D I'd be down for it! I could make a character for it! Can you give us a teensy bit of world info? Humans, normal D&D races, or furries, tech level, etc. :D
You know I'd be down yo.

You're too fun to pass up another chance at badgerin' ya. :)

I'm in dire need of an adventure!
*raises hand* I've actually never been on a rp adventure so I'd certainly be interested to take part in a practice one.

Sweet! I had not expecting so much reactions! Thank you! :D

The world I had in mind is heavily inspired by D&D, but feel free to implement any race you like, including furry! As for the technological advancements, the world I had in mind would be at the very beginning of the technological age. Steam powered items are a novelty and only the richest of the rich have them for now. There's pistols, muskets and so forth, but things like airships are not invented yet.

The area and quest are as follows

A small farming community that lies close to rocky peaks are having trouble. Even though it's summer time and harvesting season, ice and snow have been slowly creeping out of the peaks onto the farmlands. According to the farmers in distress, the icy stalagmites don't melt in the sun and are very hard to shatter. They are extremely worried, for some unfortunate farms close to the peaks have lost their harvest and thus their income. What is worse is that creatures made out of snow and ice roam the frozen areas a well, so any helpful mage who claims to be able to melt the ice cannot get close enough without any creature taking notice of them and becoming hostile.

And so the farmers send out their plea for aid, in the hope some brave adventurers would come and aid them in their time of need.

EDIT: I'll also be adding in a dice system when it comes to certain moves the NPCs do. Nothing too complicated, just a simple roll to see how much chance there is an attack will hit.

Also I won't be implementing any stats, since I'm horrid with numbers. I'll let you decide whether you would like to add in appropriate modifiers.

And finally, a quick question. Where would you prefer this RP to be done? On the forums, via PM or a group, perhaps?

AN ADVENTURE YOU SAY? DRAGONBORN AHOY!
This character needs more excercise

Groups/forums. I have a tenancy to read PMs and then walk away from them.

Awesome! I'd say making a thread on the fantasy forum will suffice. A group would be more suitable for branching action. :)

I would like to mention that it's always super awkward at the beginning of a D&D campaign when every single character meets everyone else and then all trust each other with their lives instantly. ;) So if anyone wants to set up a tiny bit of history with my orc paladin character I'll be making, just let me know! It doesn't need to be extensive or anything! :D

I'd be totally up for that.
Eeee this is exciting. :D. I'd probably have to create a character, because I'm not sure which one of mine would work well for this, but I could totally do that.

Alright! Forum it is! I'll make initial post tomorrow morning, and when everyone's got their character ready, we can progress. I'll create an area where everyone can meet up and get to know the other team members a bit.

Oh, I'm so very excited now!

The thread is up! Feel free to post whenever you feel like it. The story won't progress until every character has participated. Until then, feel free to mess around in the starting area or get to know each other's characters. I'll make sure you've got time to do just that.
