"You feelin Lucky Punk!? Huh!? You wanna peice of me?! Roll for initative MONKEYBOY!"

*that was how it all started. In retrospect, I begin to wonder if all the heck fire and holy schlock that i've seen these past months has been real.......or my mother had been right all along, and those Role playing games have now been the death of me.....and this is hell....In either case, Im stuck here, on an Island of Undead, with only my three companions as back up, my sword arm cant take much more of the constant and futile hacking and slashing....and I begin to wonder if the Cavelry will ever arrive...But how did it come to this?? And why? maybe in looking back I'll be able to make sense of all of this..*

*In a small suburban neighborhood....in Littletown U.S.A...Four people sit in the huge basement, as roiling white smoke covers the ceiling from the hundreds of candles....some fresh, others only piles of waxy goo.....All around them are scattered source books....Impliments of LARP'ing....Drinks, and Empty bags of potato chips.....in front of them lies a large, totally clean sqare of floor, with dice all around it, as they carefully guard charicter sheets near them, the fifth person, a new game master, sits alone on a high chair, as they look up to him, he is an adult, while they are only teenagers....when in reality, they are four of the finest role players in the world....effortlessly creating worlds and destroying them in a heartbeat....the darkened Game master speaks..*

As you look down the alley, you see somthing strange, a roiling blue portal of some ineffable sort...you cannot see beyond it, no matter how hard you try or use your powers....the bodys of the Strange wizard's minons lie all around you.....what do you do???

*They all look to one another, there is a clattering of dice rolls...then they all speak in unison.....and it is the last mistake they will ever make*

"We enter it."

*Suddenly, there is a flash and a bang of light, they are startled, but there is no time for fear, as they are set unconcious, as the world all around them whirls, the darkly clothed man smiles*

"And so it begins.."

OOC: We need Four main charicters, Someone to play the villian and his Right hand Woman, and a few assorted hangers on.

My Charicter.

Name:Jimmy Rayner
Charicters Class: Paladin
Age:16 OOC, 27 IC
height (Out of Charicter/In Charicter): 5'5/6'7
Wieght: 150/255
Qualifications:Has been playing RPG's scince age 4, Long time Supporter of the S.C.A, Uber-Geek
Pasts, Historys, and et-cetera do not matter here but you may add it if you like. We wont be using Dice rolls at all, nor will we be using stats. These charicters must be FEASABLE, And their players must have had at least a LITTLE In Real life Role playing Experiance.

This is thrusting geeks and Roleplayers into the minds of their charicters. They have no idea why they are here, and can only rely on their wits, having lost most of their special equpitment. Though they arent exactly Threadbare, They have no idea what happened, and would most likely be disoriented.

Let the games begin.

(Editing Note: For those of you curious about the wierd way I Started off his story, It will be explained later. ^_~
 
OOC: this looks quite interesting.. how about a girl for a companion?

Name: Lillian (everyone calls her Lily)
Age: 17 OOC, 26 IC
Height: 5'7/5'9
Character class: Fighter/Mage
Qualifications: Loves RPG's and has been laying for 10 years.
Hair: Aurburn
Eyes: Green
 
B.A.- "All right, So what you're asking is if your character survives a point-blank blast of fire breath in the face, which causes him to stumble backwards off a three hundred foot cliff landing in a pool of molten lava?"

Bob- "Well, yeah, does he survive? He's got plus one armor."

B.A.- "Sorry Bob, he's toast."

Dave- "Damn dude, you were robbed!"
 
KODT???

Im curios!!!

Ahem...

No collection of the world's finest Hackmasters would be complete without Brain Van Hoose...

Brian is 27 years old and lives alone. He manages to make a modest living operating a fee based gaming website and selling painted miniatures. Brian is typically quiet and utters only three word sentences unless a rule has been broken or his character has been maligned. Even though Brian can't remember his own phone number, he can recite entire passages of various rule books from memory. He claims to have a girlfriend but no one has ever seen her.

http://www.kodt.com/images/Brian2.gif

His character is Teflon Billy, a magic user with a serious affinity for fireballs... heh.

"Bouncing-Betty fireball coming online!"
 
Hmmm...

I'd be willing to be your main bad guy, only question is this. Is he another RPG'er like the others or is he in this real world and the all consuming bad guy? I'll lean towards the all consuming bad guy unless you tell me otherwise...

Name: Jeriz Vormitag- Better known as "The Slayer of Men"
Magic User/Fighter
154 years old
7'3" (Magically Enhanced)
Black Hair and one pupil-less eye, the other is missing and covered with a metal plate.
Job?? Darklord of Evil in this world. Wants to conquer and enslave everyone, etc. etc. etc. the typical bad guy things, until I can come up with something a little more sinister... Okay done that, he wants to capture our wayward heroes when he hears of them arriving to use their souls as a way to reach our world and enslave that also.... like?
 
ooc; Im glad other people enjoy KOTD as much as I do. *G* We have our Companions!

We have a BADGUY! (do it how you want, I want SOME Strangeness)

Posting will begin on FRIDAY!

and yes Inkubus. I do mean all the major magical equptment...

Though you can keep your +1 armor. ^^

:D

Though please brush up on your spelling. we may need to be precise.

Any other people who want to join, Go on ahead! But you will either have to be Real KODT chars or NPC's. ;)

I need to do a bit more story writing.

"While trekking through the old ruins you find a worm infested book-"

"I burn it!"
 
Later...

B.A.- And as the creeping horror of the abysmal terror of the depths crawls up from the slime below, it grins wickedly as your flamethrower...runs out of fluid!

Bob- They won't die! They just won't die!

Dave- Must. Have. Hackmaster!

Sara- You were right! Staying in the back of the party with your eyes closed does work!

Brian- Heh. Wait 'til they try the magic items,...
 
I'll play a bunch of NPC's. I love making a whole bunch of characters.
Shaman's
Cleric's.
Store owners.
Tavern keepers.
Bar Tender's.
Kings.
Guards.
Things that a story can't do without, but are pretty pointless to be played by different people. I'll be the role playing whore, lol.
 
Im yer daddy and yer......Well no thats too sick.

OKAY PEOPLE!


IC:

*As they fall down the huge gaping blue glowy pit straight out of a bad science fiction movie, they each undergo a -change-...Turning into their charicters and losing most of their ultrapowerful equpitment..as the +12 hackmaster floats away glowing like it usually does..They all fall on a hard, cobble stone floor, taking three points of damage.. (kidding!) and mostly being knocked out of their wits...when they finally regained their thoughts, they would find themselves in a small Cottage of sorts, moderately furnished, no distinguishable weapon hoardes about, and only a big mirror in front of you, you cant unlock, knock down, or magick the door open, until everyone is awake....The Young Paladin Theoran, Played my James, awakens with a severe headache and looks around, shaking his comrades*

"Uhm...guys? you Okay??"

*He is still disoriented, and hasnt noticed the nature of his companions yet, Let the games begin!!!*
 
Evil Awaits our Heroes....

The slave crept down the hallway as quietly as he could. Vormitag was in a bad mood and that bode ill for all around him who were not important. He had already tortured three prisoners to death and flayed five slaves to the grave for looking at him funny. The slave kept creeping farther down the stinky, dank, wet, and torche lit hallway towards the sounds of laughter and screams of pain where his lord was keeping court today. Looking around the corner ot make sure it was safe the slave ran quickly to the side of Vormitag to tell what he had been told to report so he could run away.

The man whom he was running to was just a little busy at that moment pulling ribs by hand from the poor sod hanging from the ceiling by hooks set into his flesh all over his body. All the while Vormitag was laughing at the poor man's screams for mercy as he used his magic to keep him from bleeding to death. The slave reached him just then and said these words.. "Mi-lord, the Dark Mage says there have been visitors sent here." as he said them Vormitag's one eye opened wide and his hand slipped and crushed the poor souls heart ending his life none to soon. Looking at the now dead man hanging from the ceiling, and the slave who just interupted his fun. "Fool" was all Vormitag said as he turned and crushed the slaves skull in his left hand as he left the room.
 
OOC quick question

do you want us to play our characters or the KODT group, because if the KODT group is open then can I be Dave?
 
ooc: Your charicters. Other people can play the KODT Group if they want to, but mainly stick to your chars unless (In neales choice( You chose to play them outright.
 
Oww!

"must have been some party...."
My head is killing me, and my body feels like I asked the quarterbacks girlfriend out in fornt of the defensive line.Some one is shaking me... "Shhhhh.....James?" is that you?" I look around but I have no idea where I am. All those Geraldo episodes about cults and stuff just fly through my brain as I try to piece together what happened. I scramble to my feet and regret it instantly. The world spins underneath me and I end up on my knees again. I shake it off and get up more slowly. "Okay guys...where are we?"
 
Brian/Teflon Billy

Brian recovered slowly, groggily shaking his head. "What the frick was THAT?!" He gave a sudden start, his eyes widening. "And why is my voice all..." He looked down at himself, and spoke in a hushed voice, "Did somebody slip a REALLY good VR set on my head while I wasn't looking?"
 
Lily awoke with a splitting headache. Muttering under her breath she sat up. The world spun and she had to stop herself from losing her dinner. "Damn, thats the last time I drink anything James gives me" standing up she held onto the wall for support only to realize there was no wall where there should be. She promptly stumbled falling over a chair and landing right against Brian. "Where are we?"
 
*He blinked about for several minutes, taking in his surroundings, and sat down promptly in the nearest chair* Kyle? yah I think it's me..or at least..*he blinked, noticing his own voice change*Brian...Lilly...Kyle.....Call this really frikkin crazy....But I think we're in the game...*He was surprisingly calm about it, but he was obviously panicking* Holy shit...we're In Hackmaster!!! *he said this in some sort of exclamantory way, and stood up* B.A. FELTON IM GONNA GIT YOU FOR THIS!!!
*he exclaimed in a very dramatic manor, the kind one would expect from a very good role playing game his eyes flashing and his manor very heroic* HE introduced me to that DM...HE Is the one responsable, I swear when I get my hands on him he's gonna wish he was in the clutches of Cthulu!!! *he seethed for a long time, until kyle was able to calm him down, he finally sat, her soothing him a little bit, in her clerical way she had always been able to do that to the berzerker Rages of Theoran. he sighs* This is really really wierd...
 
Brian

"Uh, Jimmy, ix-nay on the ulhu-Cthay! Remember? There is a base 5% chance to bring any of the Great Elders right down on you, just from saying their names! And, DEFINITELY don't go saying astur-Hay!!! 33% Cumulative per utterance!"

Brian stood, examining his new body, trying to become more adjusted to his surroundings. Trying not to stutter, and looking away from her, he answered the only female in their group, "Lilly, damfino where we are." He had not played with her long, and had not had time to get used to her beauty.
 
Vormitag

He strode down the hallways of his fortress in a very black mood. Recently he had suffered a reverse to the south, but Ashkagar had already taken care of that. He smiled at the thought of his right hand woman, remarkable in many ways, truly a person for whom you would kill for a second look of, and some had done so.

Stomping up the stairs to the North East tower in the keep, he ran over the many things that the now dead slaves message could mean. "Hmph! The only way to get a straight answer is too ask the damn Druid himself." he thought as he reached the door.
 
OOC

OOC: Please give some descriptions of your characters as they have become in this gaming world. Their character names would help, too.

Since I forgot to do that, too, here is Teflon Billy:
http://www.kodt.com/images/kill5.gif

This cover illustrates one of his finest moments, as Teflon Billy tricks the Swack-Iron Dragon into drinking a polymorph potion, turning it into a beetle. Billy is the one in the foreground, giving the glass of 'wine' to the dragon.
 
*James Facepalmed, groaning quietly*

"Forgot Man. Remind me to kill felton later..."

*He took a long look at himself, Theoran, The Paladin-in-Training, Was a moderately handsome man, with a deep inner strength and Likableness (Read; CHarisma 19!!!) he had a hardset face that usually looked serious, but was right now, very surprised, fraimed by dark brown hair. He was a well muscled man, with a long scar trailing down his chest from his first encounter with a dragon...he wore a longsword scabbard at his side, but regretabbly, the Hackmaster which once resided there was gone, along with most of his other weapondry, he wore a green tank top of sorts, and long black trousers, on his feet were, he said thanking The gods, his Mighty boots of speed, which would be a sweet asset, though he realized, he had nothing else on him (One peice of magickal equpitment.) that could be of any use, save the absolute basics, he blinked at everyone*

Whoa.

This is Sw33t...
 
Lily smiled at Brian the glanced at everyone else. Her character was a strong and wise one. She stood at 5'8 with auburn hair and green eyes much like herself. The only major difference was her ears came to a point characteristic of her elven character. She wore a simple pair of leather pants that clung to her as a second skin and a matching top that showed her midriff. She carried a simple long swoerd much different from her normal enchanted sword. Sighing softly she looked to everyone "Ok so we are in the game. Now what?"
 
Kyle

5'10 black hair blue eyes.
A warrior for his Luvia God of Justice.
Luvia is a Blind god (as is justice) and because of his do gooder status has been refered to by non belivers as the "wuss" god.
Kyle is a soccer fan and gamer who likes to drink and party. Kylen is a Cleric who serves the cause of justice with a healling heart and a wicked mace.


"In the game..? I'm not sure if thats a dream or a nightmare." Kyle hefted his mace and looked at the others. "But I have to admit Lily thats the way I always pictured your elf. And James your paladin and Bri thats has to be Tef." Kyle..er Kylen looked around. "So whats the way out of here and whats the object of the 'game'?"
 
looking into the cottage notices a stasis spell and rummages for the counter spell... wonder if the blasted spell will even work
