Delwyn, and the Masters of the Universe
On the planet Eternia, the evil Skeletor and his army of darkness have taken over Castle Greyskull, the mysterious castle, and imprisoned The Sorceress of Greyskull. Skeletor has begun draining The Sorceress of Greyskull's powers as he bids to claim the powers of Greyskull and become master of the universe. Mighty warrior Delwyn Mane, the most powerful man in the universe and his companions accidentally find themselves on Golarion, after being teleported away to another world by the evil Skeletor.
Delwyn swiftly finds allies. First, a girl who talks to the earth -- and wishes it would shut up.
Soon, the pair come across a wandering captain who commands only himself.
What adventures do our intrepid trio enact? Find out... in
Realising he was the only person on Golarion that could help Delwyn, Sir Corvus agreed to join the group.
In reality he agreed to lead the group but as he is so magnanimous, he allows the lesser lights some of the spotlight and will happily pretend that they are a group of equals.
OK. This isn't exactly what I had in mind, but since it's a PbP we'll go with it. I'll start up the first Campaign thread tomorrow after I get back in town. A little better explanation of what I meant to communicate is:
Every character writes up a Novel Title, and back paragraph about an adventure starring their character. This gives a capsule of what the character is good at and likes to do.
Then the next player in line ties his character as a guest star to the player in front of them numerically (In Tabletop games we go left to right)
Then the third player in line ties his character as a guest star to the first players paragraph.
That is the back page of the novel. It then goes down the line.
Player 1 is star: Players 2 and 3 are guest stars
Player 2 is star: Players 3 and 4 are guest stars
Player 3 is star: Players 4 and 5 are guest stars
Player 4 is star: Players 5 and 1 are guest stars
Player 5 is star: Players 1 and 2 are guest stars.
So everybody is the star of one novel, and the guest star of two. Ties the party together without singling out one individual. If you guys want to go through this exercise you can (It is really fun in tabletop) but if you just want to get started I'll start the game tomorrow.
A few house rules:
1. When you level up roll two of the appropriate dice and take the best result.
2. When you cast healing magic, roll an additional die and discard the lowest. (NOTE: This doesn't apply to Channeling
3. Got rid of the old Flat footed till you've acted rule. If you're not surprised you're not flat footed. I feel this gives initiative too much clout.
If I think of more I'll post them tomorrow along with beginning game thread.

Then I think nobody got it :)
although I must admin that this explanation is perhaps better than the one in the other OOC thread.But I'm for it ... a little creativity never hurt anybody :)

I got it!!
(slightly) bad news though: I'm off for a week (snowboarding yay). So I'd say, let's write those introductions first, I'll write mine before I leave. If I get the possibility I'll try to come online but I just don't know for sure if I can.
Game thread is up, but we can still do the background exercise. I'll be able to work it in.

Not yet. If you're still interested come on board. You could be one of the patrons on the floor (Read game thread for details), whom broke his wrist in the fall, and is now climbing to his feet, seeing what is going on.

Hark...there is a post on the game thread bringing you into the game if you're still in.
