The Campaign Builder's Guild

OOC: I'm going to wait for a few people to join, then I'll continue the meeting. Your character doesn't have to go straight to the meeting place, but as soon as that many people join I will start the 'meeting'. Also, please give a good description of your character in your first post or two. You can be any humanoid fantasy creature you want. However all characters should not be very powerful but leave room for advancement as the story continues and they gain experience. Have fun!
All of the characters receive this flyer.

Hear ye! Hear ye!

The embattled nobles of Bytrios plead with all those who are decent and heroic of heart to come rid them of the creatures that infest their lands. A bounty of 500C will be offered to any who make assistance.

Baron Ambrozy.

The barbarians of the north are a cruel and primitive people. Though they are skilled in combat as any other, they stand two feet taller than normal humans, and all, including the woman, are extremely muscled from a life surviving in the roughest of terrain. The barbarian tribe calling itself the Winged Beasts fought a two day battle with the wretched twisted tongue orcs. They fought for control of a valuable valley. The land was abounding with natural grain, it also held a large waterfall leading into a lake on the north side of it. Though the barbarians fought hard, for every orc they slew, ten more came out of the from the ground. They slew thousands of orcs before the last man had fallen. They were overrun.

Seth, a young barbarian, though matching in stature with the strongest barbarian, was thought dead on the field of battle, though merely unconscious. When Seth awoke he was horrified by the slaughter before his eyes, went into a frenzy. He searched for half a week looking for the tribe of twisted tongue orcs, but never found them. The greatest dishonor for a barbarian was to be deprived of the honor of dying on the battle field. This was especially worst because all of his clan died in that fateful battle. Seth was enraged at himself as much as the orcs, he couldn't believe he survived alone. He decided that he would go out into the world, discovering for himself the other ways of life that he had heard about. He had no home here, and didn't want to stay only to be reminded of his shortcomings. So he left, and became a traveler. He traveled all of the southlands, seeing wondrous things, as well as coming into combat with the foulest of creatures. Seth could never hold his blood lust for orcs though. He went berserk in combat when he fought against orcs, only wishing for their extinction.

But now Seth is traveling to Bytrios, in search of adventure. Seth could never stand staying in any one place any length of time, unless absolutely necessary. It took Seth two weeks to come to the large town. It was situated on a river running north to south. It had high walls, that could not be climbed easily, as well as guard towers placed strategically along the walls. Seth stood about 7'3", taller than any normal human, and was extremely well muscled. He carried his weapon, clothes and supplies only. Which consisted of dark animal skin pants and vest, with a large pelt that seemed to be a cloak. On his back was the great sword he always carried and could never be seen apart from it. The sword was created from mithral, the hardest and rarest metal of all. It was recovered when his clan slew an ice dragon after it awoke in a lair near their camp at the time. The beast slew many of the tribes good warriors, but the treasures they found were worth it. Before Seth left his northern home, he hid most of the treasure away in a cave, sealing it as he left. The barbarians couldn't do a whole lot with gold and gems. Seth took a good amount that he could comfortably carry. Most of what he took has now been spent. Seth has become used to the many stares he receives, he looks crude and primitive indeed. That was the look he received as he came to the gate. He stood in the line of mostly merchants for the better part of an hour. When he finally made his way to the front, he was looked up and down by the guards several times with great suspicion.

"What business do you have hear?" the guard asked as he measured up the man.

Seth held up the flyer he had received two weeks ago, not bothering to talk to him.

"Well, if that is what you are really here for, then welcome. The rules stated on the wall over there are to be obeyed at all times. Now, be on your way." The guard called out "Next!" before giving Seth anytime to talk, not that he was going to though. He stopped for only a brief moment to look at the list of laws. He left quickly, seeing things like "Do not kill anyone, Do not steal from anyone else, Do not harass city officials," and other nonsense like that.

Seth made his way through town, only stopping to get more dry rations for the road, and then headed for the main part of the city, a walled off corner with a small castle in the middle of it. After he passed through the guards at that gate, merely showing the flyer again, he was lead through yet another set of walls to the main castle. Which from there, he was lead into a waiting chamber.

OOC: I'm going to wait 'till there are about 5 or 6 people, then I'll continue the meeting. Your character doesn't have to go straight to the place, but as soon as that many people join I will start the 'meeting'.

what system is this using?

No system, just play-by-post. In combat I'll roll for your attempts and damage. Just post what you are doing. That make sense?

so it's free-form?

I might join.

Me too, I could go for playing a game for a change.

I'll play if I can be a race that stands about 2 feet high and seem more like humanoid praying mantises than humans.
(for those who know, think miniature Thrii-Kreen.)

Can I be a big buff and slightly furry brute who acts as a mix between his friend and his ride?

sure. I'll be the magic-using, two foot tall bugman who rides his slightly furry, big brute friend like a mount. :D

Only one rule, don't tell me to giddy up (mush and lets get the hell out of here are perfectly fine though). :P
