Game Master AdamWarnock

A killer stalks the streets of Black Barrow, a provincial town on the edge of a dying kingdom. Can our heroes solve the mystery, or will the town fall to chaos as the people panic?

Haha. What a way to die :)

I will add in the fighting stuff but I am thinking it will be something learned by accident or necessity. But I will make that decision after I get some sleep. Otherwise things will get weird.


GM: I think Carver's a local boy who'd like to get to one of those big cities but hasn't established himself enough to do so. Also probably owes the lord some time for the education.


I am working on a forestkin dwarf oracle (went a slightly different direction than I was originally thinking). The site just ate my profile before I could save it, sigh. Will get back to it later today - have to do some work now. (I do have most of it saved elsewhere, but not all of it!)

In the meanwhile, here are my answers to the questions:

The Questions:

Who are you and how are you doing?
I'm a woman from the East Coast of the US. I work as an editor, which means I'm in front of my computer a lot. I'm doing pretty well, thanks.

How often do you tend to post?
I aim for once a day.

What kind of tone are you looking for in this game? (I'll be honest, this one's going to be on the dark side.)
I'd kind of figure it'd be dark, with the grisly murders. I'm hoping for dark-but-interesting, not just gruesome for gruesome's sake, and with lots of good roleplay to go with it.

What do you expect out of your fellow players?
Respect, good roleplay, and not getting so caught up in rules-lawyering or number-crunching that we lose the story. I will also admit to being a writing snob; I value good grammar and well-done style.

What do you expect out of me (the GM)?
Pretty much the same as for players. Also, being willing to move the story along when needed, without railroading players.

What is your comfort zone? Where's the line for you in RP terms?
I prefer to avoid overtly sexual content, and I'm not into gore for gore's sake.

How do you see your character progressing as a character?
Kress is a little naive (not entirely so, but somewhat that way) and wants to know what the Maiden of Night's purpose for him is.


Kay I added to the background to fix the typo, as awesome as it was, and put why and how he fights with his fists only.


@Krasimir: Thanks. I'll look over it when I get a chance.

@Saxikath: Well, I hope that my writing does not disappoint. I've been trying to write a novel, and I've found that PBP can be good practice.

@Digger: Thank you for the clarification. I still need the questions answered, however.


DM: Er, which questions? The DM questions from character creation are on the post with the submission. The newer questions, he's a local boy, and has been practicing in town for just a bit. New doctor, indentured to the local lord who paid for his schooling.


Sorry, I got you and Gideon's player mixed up.

@choyakuyama: Still need the answers to the GM questions.


It seems like there's not a lot of interest in this, at least not enough to justify leaving this open. Recruitment is closed. I've sent messages to those who still seem interested.
