Lions & Labyrinths: Christian Knockoff D&D! [OOC]

[Zjaum]

Hey!

I had a question: Zjaum, Your character Abigail is walking around with a bible. Does that mean that the old and new testament have been written and printed, and that Christ died on the cross? If we were to walk around a biblical Israel, Christ wouldn't have been crucified, right?

This is a fantasy world where everyone is Christian, at least supposedly. Now, things might change, and there might be "magical portals" that take us to biblical Israel, or to places where there might be -gasp- nuance and conflict, but in this specific town, everyone is a Keys-for-Kids-style Christian.

Alright, sounds good. I'll try my best to get my religious extremist to fit in. Thanks for the heads up.

I will try to get something up tonight.

Good thing I read this before I posted in the IC, I was planning on having Bridget discover that she had the wrong book with her after an acidental mix-up resulting from bumping into a daoist. I guess that's off the table, at least before we find a portal?

Is it one character per player btw?

Would it be okay for my character to be the actual apostle Paul? It’s okay if not, he can just be based off him, but I thought I’d ask.

I based my character on a saint too, but I hadn't thought of making her the actual her until now. It's kinda tempting though.

Hey, I posted something. I hope that my post isn't too bleak / serious. I tried to keep it as short as possible, and I hope that I didn't mess up any plot details.

I controlled the paladin outside, mostly because I thought that it was a good idea to get that out of the way, because I'm not sure whether I should post every single interaction I have seperately.

If there was anything that I messed up, please do tell me about it, and I'll get it fixed ASAP.

I keep character limits off until a few people go absolutely nuts. No one has yet, so feel free to add another.

Sudbrazil, your rolls are {9,2,12,2,1,11,3,14,4,12}, or, alternatively, {12,19,2,2,20,10,2,18,18,13}.
Helowi, your rolls are {6,3,7,10,12,1,15,19,12,19}.

Nine go to your stats, and the remaining one is your health.

Thank you kynd sire.
Just one thing: I dislike leather armour as I believe it is wrongfully interpreted aketon. May I treat mine as such just for fluff purposes?

[Helowi]

Just added in my stats.

Hey Zjaum, would this be okay?

Hey Zjaum, would this be okay?

At the time of Paul, the whole world wasn't as Christian as this world seems to be. Just a thought.

Hey Zjaum, would this be okay?

I mean, we already have "Paul the Newcomer" as our very first entry, which is very similar to actual Paul. If you want to include actual Paul, you're going to have to have a lot of background research. For example, if I were roleplaying Jesus, he would never take up arms against or hurt any living person. While accurate, this would put significant hampers on my RPing.

If you are aware of these limitations and are okay with the criticism, we can say that I copied the apostle Paul and pasted him in this world, at any point you'd like.

Jesus did curse fig trees, overturn tables and whip people with cords....

There's also the unacknowledged Thomas writings about him slaying a dragon.

btw, is my character accepted

Yes.

All right, I'm updating in the IC. I will embellish in the OP, but here's how my the last dice RP I was in worked:

Every dice roll you want me to make will be followed by "Action:" in bold. You don't need to worry about insignificant stuff or dialogue, but stuff that will change or progress the story should have this format. Examples:

Action: Abigail tries to move through the town square unnoticed.
Action: Roshanak attempts to seduce become friends with the guard to obtain secrets.
Action: Marcella covers her ears to avoid hearing blasphemy.
Action: Peter attempts to lop off the soldier's ear.

In response, I will roll a die. For stats (dice rolls en masse), I used this site. The site I'll use for individual dice rolls is this. I either add or subtract the roll to your most relevant stat. The range in which the roll falls determines how the story plays out. Depending on the difficulty of the attempted task, the required sum might range from 10 to 40. Examples:

Response: Roll: (I had Abigail's stats, but apparently they were deleted. Will remedy soon).
Response: Roll: 17 (added to Roshanak's 10 Joy). The guard has a pet bird at home, so they find commonalities in wing trimming and grooming.
Response: Roll: 13 (compared to Marcella's 7 Peace). The blasphemy is too loud, and Marcella is forced to entertain a differing viewpoint.
Response: Roll: 9 (compared to Peter's 1 Self-Control). The soldier is easily able to parry Peter's attack but is unable to capitalize.

For this first update only (hopefully), I am going to make Bridget lose, if only so she has an excuse to join the party.

I wouldn't think so.
