Tacitus he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Okay, I'll just jump right in. Here's the idea: People. Each from a different planet or realm or dimension, whatever you want, but each person has a form of Magic unfamiliar to the others. They're Magically Plopped (that's a term now) into a new world, left to survive and forced to cooperate with these strange people and learn about the magical arts they are proficient in. We'll see how it progresses after the characters basically learn how to not die. But that about sums it up. Good? No good? The most beautiful thing you've ever beheld? A monstrosity that should be banished to the nether realms? Edited January 29, 2021 by Omi the Counselor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Experience he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Interesting idea. Are we supposed to make our own magic that our character uses or use one that already exists? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 So, is it something where we as people know each others magic, but the characters don't, or is it secret to everyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacitus he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 You can choose. Either we as can know about others' magic, or we can learn about them at the same time as the characters, it doesn't matter too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 The sun is bright and shines on a grassy plain that runs for miles and miles, trees occasionally popping up from the ground. Clouds periodically block the sunlight, casting shadows on the plain. One such time, seemingly no different from all the others, a cloud blocks out the sun. When it has passed a man is standing there, wearing all black. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacitus he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 A tall, short-haired man stands, and finds himself in an unfamiliar landscape, covered in the grass that fills it. He knows there is no place near his city that resembles this place. fearing what dangers may live in the unusual plain, he brings himself lower to the ground, and searches for any sign of people. Any sign of civilization. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shard of Reading he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Quote I totally want to do this, it seems really fun. Now to come up with a original magic system. I'll figure it out as I play. Yet another man, short and stocky with a thick beard wakes up, sitting up in the long grass. He looks around and is surprised as he does not recognize any of the terrain. Seeing someone in the distance he begins to walk towards them. "Ho there!" He called. "Do you have any bloody idea where we are?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacitus he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Verdin jumps at the sound of a voice. Looking around, he sees a man. He sighs. Evidently, he wasn't quite as good at hiding than he had thought he was. He stands to his full height, coming out of the tall grass. Answering the man's question, he calls, "No, I'm afraid not. But I am glad to see someone. Do you have any idea how you got here? I can't recall". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Elrym sees others in the distance and crouches down, hand on his sword. He thinks he knows where he might be, but it had been years since he had visited the plains of his homeland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacitus he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 "Ah. Do excuse me. My name is Verdin. Verdin Vuurda. Yours?",Verdin asked, glancing to the sides of his vision. He was anxious. He could feel another presence near them, and his senses tended to be right. An animal, stalking it's prey? Another person, without memory of how they came to be in the plain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative_Null Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 A sound drifts on the wind, like a melody that's too beautiful for human ears, and a girl is there. Not as if she appeared, but as if she's always been there and no one noticed before. "Memory is fleeting", she says, in a voice that sounds as if it would be better suited to poetry than prose. "Remembering isn't the important part anyway." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goob he/him Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Suddenly, a tall man in a black cloak appears, holding what seems to be a hammer, except the head is made of a strange glowing metal. He looks around, and a frown appears on his face. "I haven't messed up a Crack of Transportation in years..." Turning to the strange group of three, he says in a commanding tone, "How far are we from Xahelis? And who are you?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
