Count me in.

Lex-Kat · 03-21-2010, 05:56 PM

In, with a warning. I know nothing of this series, or whatever it is.

Deathslayer7 · 03-21-2010, 06:16 PM

Abhorsen's The books will be explained now:

There are two Kingdoms in this. The Old and New Kingdom. In the Old Kingdom magic works, in the new New Kingdom it doesnt. And technology does not function in the Old Kingdom while it does in the new, and any technology that gets too close to magic stops functioning (usually Free/Dark Magic). These Kingdoms are divided by what the they call "The Wall." Near the Wall magic works as well even if you are in the New Kingdom.

This will be where the WW takes place: the wall (mainly) as well as the Old/New Kingdom.

Usually Necromancers raise the dead, but the Abhorsen (a title) is a necromancer who puts the dead back to sleep. His weapon of choice is a sword as well as seven bells which can control the undead (hence the seven bells in this game). In addition he can slip into "Death" itself which has nine layers to it. The farther you go, the more dangerous it is.

The Great Charter is based on the seven bloodlines (which i wont get into too), which allows Charter magic to be used by forming symbols in your head. This is balanced by Free Magic which is not bound by Charter Magic. Necromancers use Free magic to raise the dead. The dead raised by a necromancer can be classified into groups, with the highest being "Greater Undead." From there it goes down.

That was a quick rundown of the book's basics. Hope it helps.

Zombieninja · 03-21-2010, 07:34 PM

In, but I ca't roleplay too much

Aemoh · 03-21-2010, 10:16 PM

In says I.

I don't have a clue about the source material, but the game mechanics look fun

Jontom Xire · 03-22-2010, 04:27 AM

In, but I recommend re-ordering the rules description to put the Players and Bells first. I opened the spoilers in order and got completely confused. I still don't have a clue what that spoiler is about. I'll need to re-read the rules starting with Players, then Bells, then the other rules.

The Bookworm · 03-22-2010, 08:54 AM

In, hopefully with RP of some sort.

billtodamax · 03-22-2010, 03:15 PM

I'll be in.

Mordokai · 03-22-2010, 04:25 PM

The books are unknown to me, but the lore intrigues me.

Therefore, I am in. And I'll find the books to read them some time in the future.

BishFish · 03-23-2010, 04:04 PM

In if there's any room left.

calar · 03-23-2010, 05:11 PM

Finally another WW to join. In if there is still room.

Orzel · 03-23-2010, 05:17 PM

I'd like to join if there's space.

Deathslayer7 · 03-23-2010, 05:51 PM

there's always room.

I'll update the first post when i get home unless my other lazy narrator wants to do it.

*cough* sanity *cough*

Sanity702 · 03-23-2010, 09:16 PM

Lazy? How am I lazy I have been studying for o-chem all day today! and I can't edit your post.... Or can I

Oddity · 03-23-2010, 10:32 PM

Lets do this!
in

Sanity702 · 03-24-2010, 12:21 PM

Do not be affraid to join even if you know nothing of the serries it shall be a fun game now join!!!!!!!

Deathslayer7 · 03-24-2010, 02:43 PM

yes i demand more dead bodies to be sacrificed to be raised as undead!

So get your free limited health care plan while you can.

*not responsible if the health care plan doesn't suit your personal needs*

Fin · 03-25-2010, 12:55 PM

In, with Cake!

Shadowcaller · 03-25-2010, 01:18 PM

Let's see if I can manage to keep up this time. I'm in.

The Bushranger · 03-25-2010, 07:33 PM

Count me in.

rakkoon · 03-26-2010, 04:25 AM

I still don't understand any of the rules but in as cannonfodder.

cd4 · 03-26-2010, 06:07 AM

I think I will join after working out the rules, it looks like a standard game with the exception of if a role dies then someone else gets a limited version of that power.

rakkoon · 03-26-2010, 06:30 AM

Okay, rules seem fair. So if I get a bell, I can't pass it along to a friend, right?

Deathslayer7 · 03-26-2010, 10:07 AM

correct.

and if there are questions about the rules, I'm happy to explain.

@cd4: correct, but this can work in either favor.

Deathslayer7 · 03-28-2010, 09:53 PM

okay recruitment closed. Will recruit AL replacees now.
