<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ed/FFCCKing-InnArtwork.png)</div><br/><strong>Everyone's A Hero</strong><br/><br/><em>“Welcome, adventurer!<br/><br/>“The setting of this group game is a fantasy starter town where an endless train of would-be heroes inexplicably show up and take their first steps toward saving the world by chasing rabbits away from the watermelons and learning how to cast ice bolt. It's meant to be a lighthearted farce, resembling a low level fantasy game or MMO rife with fan service and sex.  This will be a “real” world so no quest icons, no gold sellers, no human players behind the screen. Our world is just naturally incongruous.<br/><br/>All kinds of character archetypes would be welcome, from half-angel orator to drow assassin to heterochromatic bunny-eared summoner of eldritch horrors. The game would flow loosely guided by quest-style events with reality show-style simple objectives, with the ultimate goal of teaching your would-be heroes the very basics of trouncing ooky spiders and taking their loot.”</em>– Dhi (Jan. 15th 2015)<br/><br/>This was the concept a friend of mine pitched a few years ago and it just stuck in my head and never left.  I absolutely love the idea so I asked if she would mind if I took it and ran with it and she said, “Go for it!”  Okay maybe she didn’t say exactly that, but it was close enough.  If you would enjoy a light hearted romp with low powered characters where a farmer’s daughter may award you for chasing off the nasty kobolds threatening her turnip patch with a little more than a kiss on the cheek or where the studly woodsman may offer you a cord of his wood for finding his lost tools, then this is the place for you.<br/><br/>This is not a game about an MMO or a Keep on the Borderlands Basic D&D adventure, but any of those tropes will work as will so many others.  The key is to make it fun and light-hearted.  I expect leopard skin loincloths, utterly pointless and revealing armor, odd ball pets, and any other number of strange and fun things that a starting adventurer could have.  Just remember, in this game the bunnies are dangerous, the wizards have only a spell or two, all npc’s are bi, poly and open to experimentation and if you don’t shake in fear at the thought of running into a giant spider in the dark forest you are way too powerful to be in this town and will be quickly shown the way to the city gate.<br/><br/>Sound like fun?<br/><br/><strong>Amberdale</strong><br/><br/>Amberdale is a small town bustling town at the intersection of the Eastern Trade Road and the Shadow Vale Caravan Route.  It is surrounded by farmland that has been cut from the Oldwall Forest.  Amberdale has one large inn and tavern, the Vine and Horn, which attracts merchants, adventurers and locals looking for news from the capital. There is a help wanted board just outside of the Inn.  Creatures from the Oldwall Forest and Shadow Vale are a constant nuisance to the citizens of Amberdale and the surrounding farmers and intrigues from the capital sometimes find the town a safe place to fester and take root.  Wardens from nearby Fort Castor do patrol the roads, but they are few and far between.  Amberdale does have a town watch.<br/><br/>Amberdale has everything a starting adventurer needs.  There is a smithy for arms and armor, a general store for equipment and provisions and the Vine and Horn, an inn and tavern for resting, drinking and other enjoyments.  There is intrigue in Amberdale too.  Nearby Kobolds, Goblins and Gnolls are a constant threat and the natural tunnels that crisscross under the town and nearby area are a haven for bandits, thieves and other critters that are no match for hardened adventurers, but terrifyingly deadly to those brave and fool hardy neophytes that come to Amberdale everyday to seek adventure in the surrounding farmlands and nearby Oldwall Forest, Forelorn Hills and Shadow Vale.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><em><span class="bbc_u">Places of Interest</span></em><br/><br/>The Vine and Horn Inn and Tavern<br/>Amberdale Cemetary<br/>Blacksmith<br/>Town Hall<br/>Amberdale General Store<br/>Town Watch</div><br/><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/a4/Fable.jpg)</div><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Outside of Amberdale:</strong><br/><br/>Ringing Amberdale are a number of farms.  Some common crops are wheat, assorted vegetable, grapes (closer to the Forelorn Hills) and gourdes (closer to Shadow Vale).  Typical livestock is cows, goats, sheep, chickens and fish from the local ponds and streams.  Just outside of Amberdale is the Temple of Casta.  Casta is the Goddess of Healing and Pleasure.  The temple was built over a group of hot springs that act as healing baths and places of relaxation for the weary.  It is popular with adventurers as the healing rituals of the priests and priestesses of Casta involve massage, acupuncture and the tantric arts.<br/><br/>Farmland gives way to lightly forested areas yet untouched by loggers.  Hermit shacks, hunters lodges, bandit camps, the occasional wizard tower, wild animals, kobolds, goblins and other creatures can be found in this area.  This central area is surrounded by the wilds.  Only the main roads and game trails are found this far out.  The local mine is located in the Forelorn Hiils and the sparse forest lands thicken into the Oldwall Forest.  As one approaches Shadow Vale the haunted nature of that place begins to show itself.  The trees are a strange grouping of birch and willow. The trees weave a tight canopy making for a perpetual twilight at the best of times.  It is said the dead are restless their and other dark critters sometimes ooze their way into Amberdale.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>FAQ</strong><br/><br/>Q: Is this a system game?<br/>A: No this is a freeform sandbox game.<br/><br/>Q: Will there be a main plot?<br/>A: No.  This is a game where you have to be proactive in seeking out scenes and stories with other players. The GM will not be making up NPCs for players.  I will include some possible story hooks in different locations that players can use or not at their discretion as writing prompts.<br/><br/>Q: What about combat?  How do we know who wins?<br/>A:  We are all adults and can come to an agreement on the outcome.  If you need help, I will have a random outcome table that can be rolled on to see how the encounter plays out.<br/><br/>Q: Can I be this big bad uber <insert ultra powerful whatever here>?<br/>A:  Nope We are all newbie adventurers here.<br/><br/>Q: Can I be <insert race, class, strange<strong>non-uber powerful</strong>whatever here>?<br/>A: Heck yeah!<br/><br/>Q: Can I be a villager and not an adventurer?<br/>A: Absolutely!<br/><br/>Q: Is this game LGBTQ+ friendly?<br/>A: Yes,  I encourage characters and players of any gender and sexual orientation and hope to have a diverse group.<br/><br/>Q: What kind of artwork can I use?<br/>A: My personal preference for this game is cheesecake fantasy art/realistic anime (a lot of Korean fantasy art and game are falls under this) and the like.  Some people are not big fans of manga style anime, but if that is the only image that really fits it will ultimately be up to you.<br/><br/>Q: Can I play a monsterous race?<br/>A: Sure just make them sexy, a beginning adventurer and give them some reason to be in the town and you can play whatever you want?

class="bbc_u"><strong>Rules, Warnings and Notes</strong></span></span></div><br/>First of all, thank you all for joining in this hopefully crazy fun, smut filled game of sexy Adventurers.  You have a lot of control over what happens here and there should be enough room for all kinds of stories that do not force you to to take part in anything you do not want too.  I imagine game play will fall to two extremes with plenty of travel between them based on what players want to write at the time.<br/><br/>On one extreme is a slice of life fantasy smut filled romp where your adventurer or townsfolk can sleep with everyone they want to and just jump from one smutty scene to another in orgasmic bliss.<br/><br/>On the other extreme you can run around (and away from) slaying gterrible little critters and monsters.<br/><br/>You can slide back and forth between these extremes all you want or stay firmly entrenched in one of them.  I am good with whatever you want.  This game is meant to be light-hearted, fun, casual, and not at all stressful for anyone!<br/><br/><strong>Some Quick Rules:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Consent is key (and sexy af).  Even in dub-con there should be some admittance that it is what your character wants even if they are unsure.  We are in the BDSM forum, please treat the game as such.</li><li>If a player can’t or doesn’t want to do a scene with you, do not pester them.  We all have different posting frequency and wants and sometimes they do not line up.  That is okay.</li><li>I have no required posting frequency, but if you know you are a slow poster or that you will not be able to post for a while, let your writing partners know.</li><li>Tag characters in your header you are interacting with in a scene for ease of reference and remember to update it when it changes.</li><li>If a scene is already started by some players.  Do not just jump into it without asking first unless the scene is tagged as OPEN.</li><li>In <strong>GM run scenes</strong> there will be a posting order.  If someone is being slow the GM will decide if they should be skipped for a round, which will happen to keep the scene flowing.  In your own scenes, it is up to the players involved to decide if a posting order is okay.  Make sure if you are not doing a posting order that everyone understands and is okay with it.</li><li>If you are jumping into a scene that does not have sex and plan on writing sex in it, make sure you clear it with those already involved in the scene.  If they do not think it fits then save it for another scene.</li></ul><br/><strong>Plots:</strong>You are free to make up whatever plot you want.  You can make up creatures or minions to fight if you want.  I am fine with that.  The only thing that I ask is that you do not use named NPC's without asking first and running the plot by me.  Do not do permanent damage to the Town.  You can damage your home or all you want, but if you plan on leveling a building you should probably ask me first.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Combat Encounters</span><br/>Everything is dangerous and should be treated that way if you are by yourself.  In a group you should be able to handle minor threats but they are still dangerous and will likely result in wounds.  If something is labeled as a Boss it will require an entire group to defeat it and their will be people hurt.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Wounds and Injuries</span><br/>Wounds and Injuries are plot devices and not meant to hinder your fun.  They will not stop you from adventuring but should add some flavor.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Sexual Encounters</span><br/>You can play an npc for another player if they want a sexual encounter that is not provided easily in game.  Your GM is not into BDSM so I will not be providing characters for those scenes, but that doesn't mean another player can't make up an NPC that is into it and you can play out a scene together.  All sex should be consensual.  See below for more details.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Some General Warnings:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>This game will have sex and probably quite a few kinks.  Your character can be shocked about walking into a room where two people are engaged in sex, but they should not be shaming anyone for it.</li><li>A player can stop a scene at any time..  Do not be offended if they do, be understanding.  Sometimes a scene takes a turn they didn’t expect or want or hits a trigger and we want everyone to feel safe and have a good time</li><li>The GM can help facilitate scenes but I have a limited capacity to do so and will not be able to accommodate eight different scenes at once.  We have plenty of players though so please plot together and be proactive!</li></ul><br/><br/><hr/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>MORE ABOUT THE FORUM AND CONSENT</strong></span></span></div><br/>I wanted to clarify my stance on Non-Con with this game and the forum we are in.  This game is in the Bondage: Exotic Small Groups Section which has the description:  Games of less than 1000 posts on multiple threads involving<strong>sex consensual with bondage</strong>and include nonhumans (such as furries, beasts, tentacle monsters, etc.).  I plan on holding this line firmly.  Every NPC will stop their scene if the character they are with is not consenting.  They can be nervous or scared or worried.  These are all normal in a sexual encounter that is new to a person.  If they cannot give consent or even think that this is not something they want then the NPC will end the scene.  Everyone can and should be understanding and ready for this to happen.<br/><br/>When it comes to NPC's there should be an indication from the adventurer that there is an interest there beyond the plutonic. This can be done many different ways, but NPC's will not initiate sex with a player without some form of consent.<strong>NPCS ARE NOT PREDATORS.</strong><br/><br/>If this is not what you want in a game as a player, that is okay.  I will not be mad if you decide to leave the game because if it.  We all have wants in a game and if this game does not fulfill them then you shouldn't feel obligated to stay.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>GM Announcement</strong></span></span></div><br/>Some of you have written with me before and others have played in games run by me, but we have a lot of players that have done neither, so I wanted to be very upfront about what you can expect from me and what I will expect from you.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>The GM (Me)</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>1.</strong>I cannot write a solo scene for everyone.  I have a busy life and I just do not have that sort of time.  To offset this, I try to leave a lot of writing prompts for players.  These are quests or scenes, or ideas that players can use as plots if they are stuck for ideas and need something to jumpstart the muse.<br/><strong>2.</strong>If I run a “main plot” scene I will enforce a posting order.  If a player lags behind, I will skip them and move to the next player in the order.  The skipped player can jump back in when able and we will adjust the posting order.  NPC’s will only post when they need too.  Usually to help move the scene along.<br/><strong>3.</strong>You can use the NPC’s listed in the NPC section in your own scenes.  They do not need to be run by me if the interaction is a simple one.  If it is something a little more involved, I may still tell you to run the scene without me if I think it is fine to do so.  If you are going into a shop to buy something, just do so.  If it worries you to use the NPC, then make up an underling to interact with.  I am good with that.<br/><strong>4.</strong>I do not have a posting rate requirement in this game.  We all have lives and sometimes they get in the way.  That is okay.<br/><strong>5.</strong>I have a Zero Tolerance policy for abusive, argumentative players, players that cause drama and players that make others uncomfortable in or out of game or in pm’s.  If I find out a player is making someone else uncomfortable, I will ask them to leave.  I don’t want to hear your reasoning as to why you didn’t actually make the person uncomfortable.  It is not up to the person making people uncomfortable to decide whether those people should or should not feel the way they feel.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>The Players (You)</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>1.</strong>Be proactive in finding your own scenes.  Don’t wait for players to include you.  Reach out to other players.  Come up with your own plot and see if others want to join in.  If you don’t join open scenes, don’t open your own scenes and don’t reach out to other players you will not have any fun.<br/><strong>2.</strong>If a player does not want to do a scene with you do not harass or guilt the player or GM.  It is their choice and just move on.  It is very possible it isn’t about you and there are other factors that are getting in the way of posting.  We have a lot of players hopefully everyone can find a scene they want.<br/><strong>3.</strong>If you are in a scene that is moving quickly and you cannot post for a while, let the other players in the scene know. Be open to being skipped if you think you are going to stall the scene.  Basically be courteous to those you are writing with.<br/><strong>4.</strong>If the game just isn’t for you or your muse dies and you decide to drop, please do not ghost.  PM me so I can move your character to an archive thread.  If you decide later to come back, you will be welcome.<br/><strong>5.</strong>Do not grief players in IC threads.  If your character is a self-described asshole be absolutely sure that the other players in the scene are okay with roleplaying across from that personality.  Do not just jump into an already started scene and start being an asshole.  It ruins other players fun, and this game is all about light-hearted fun.<br/><strong>6.</strong>Last one and this is a big one.  Don’t think that because we are on E it is okay to be rude or crass or overly sexual in OOC.  Do not use slurs or words that are arguably slurs in OOC.  Do not be an asshole in OOC.  Do not bring your life’s problems into OOC.  This game is not a licensed therapy session.  Its seems obvious, but I have seen all of the above in games and don’t want any of it in this one.<br/><br/>If any of this kills your muse for the game or you think will be an issue.  Please let me know and I will remove your character.  No hard feelings on my part.<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Character Creation</strong></span></span></div><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Step One: Image</span></strong><br/>My personal preference for this game is cheesecake fantasy art/realistic anime (a lot of Korean fantasy art and game are falls under this) and the like.  Some people are not big fans of manga style anime, but if that is the only image that really fits it will ultimately be up to you.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Step Two: Name</span></strong><br/>Serious or funny this is up to you.  It can be whatever you want.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Step Three: Occupation</span></strong><br/>For adventurers this should be at least equivalent to a class in a ttrpg or mmorpg.  The should also be at the beginning of their careers and not in the middle or the end.  NPC's own the shops in Amberdale.  You can work in them if you are more a villager than an adventurer but even you haven't rise to the point of ownership yet.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Occupational Do's</span><br/>Druid, Bard, Warlock, Blade Dancer, Cook, Barmaid, Clerk...etc.<br/>Bubblegum-Haired Necromancer, Human Pack Mule<br/>Words like Amateurs, Apprentice, Acolyte, Graduate, Neophyte in your description<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Occupational Don'ts</span><br/>Words like "Master or Master of," "Expert," "Best," "Professional"...etc.<br/>Titles like Warlord, Priest, Sargent, Knight, "Wizard of the Ninth Circle," Boss, "Owner of"<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Step Four: Favorite Mode of Attack</span></strong><br/>This should be<strong> one or two attack (or utility) moves, at most</strong>that you have.  Not an entire style or a group of attacks (unless you are a Monk with Flurry of Hand Jabs).  If you have magic, one or both of your "attacks" should be a specific spell. If you do not have the spell listed here you do not have it.<br/><br/>(When you describe a fight you can still talk about dodging and parrying and kicking and gouging and such but one or both of these attacks (utility moves) are what really do the damage and should be used in some form.)<br/><br/>And no magic items.<br/><br/>Some Examples of Modes of Attack for different characters:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Barbarian</span><br/>Rage of the Big Axe - Swings their axe wildly and with terrible force, but very inaccurate<br/>Battle Yodel - My yodeling makes all creatures around me want to attack me and only me to make the horrendous noise stop.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Thief</span><br/>Sneaky, sneaky.  Stabby, Stabby.  – They works best when they have the element of surprise.<br/>Ninja Stars!!!!! – Throws shurikens<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Cleric</span><br/>Spikey Mace of Everlasting Night Night - Bashing things in the head with piety<br/>Prayer of Ouchie Removal - Spell that heals boo-boos and makes the pain go away.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Wizard</span><br/>Bolt of Zappiness - Bolt of magical electrical energy<br/>Ball of Gooey Boom - Area effect spell that slows opponents and makes them smell like bubblegum<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Barmaid</span><br/>Mug Bash - Crack a drinking mug over someone's head stunning them.  Uses up a mug.<br/>Anti-Sexual Harassment Zone - Minor resistance to damage and mind control.<br/><br/>Now yours do not have to be this silly (Goddesses I hope they are!  ;D ).  Spinning Blade Strike.
