DUNGEONS & DRAG-QUEENS: CAPED COSPLAY!

No D&D knowledge at all, nope!

3 is enough to start with. The other two are optional and can join as we go.
I'll make a Game Post later tonight, and we'll go from there. That should give stragglers a chance to join last minute.

Okay, let's get things rolling, shall we? I've thankfully had some time to mull this over with some of the other players, who are playing via cellphone texting one-on-one. They will effect your game, and you all will effect there game.

My thoughts of making it strictly modern day just sort of clash with the whole vibe of this game. So it won't quite be. Kind of fantasy medieval meets steam era, with big cities.

Game Post 1
The setting is a quazi-slapstick medieval fantasy world. Anything mythical or fantastical exists in some form or another. You will be in the farthest north-eastern tip of the country named Rumpturnip. A county that was plagued by a zombie infestation for the last 100 years. It is a sovern nation, south of Frankfoil, north of Ferngullythemovie, and west of the vast wasteland that was once Essenogglefruit. To the east lies the Great Sea.
It is the Age of Steam, and you have all just finished a day's work on the railway system leading to Hubland City.
None of you have special abilities to begin with, you're just working class joes. None of you are known except by your co-workers and families who are all in the slums of Hubland City.

Together, after said long day's work you are in the tavern named Loose Noose. The tavern is well-lit, and merry. The townsfolk of Bakerville are overjoyed by the fact they're finally joining Hubland City by train. The long horse ride to the big city was a terribly long journey. Promises of trade and tourism in their quaint little town has kept the Loose Noose lively ever since the railroad began construction.
The four of you are acquainted, and are sharing a small round table to yourselves while the townsfolk dance about to the swinging music played by Bards.

To play, each of you selects something to attempt (similar to other forum RPGs) and we go from there. I will of course roll 1d6 to determine the outcome. 1 being worst case outcome, and 6 being best case outcome.
You can literally decide to do anything that makes physical sense to you. If you can justify it, go for it. If it's completely unrealistic, don't bother. Remember: The dice decide what happens. You only get to decide what you want to TRY to do.

Inventory for everyone starts with the following:
-1x Sledgehammer (1d6 attack damage) Worth 15 gold
-1x Filthy Coveralls (-5 Style) Style determines how much people will like/associate with you. Worth 1 gold
-1x Filthy Hat (keeps the sun from your eyes!) Worth 1 gold
-1x Filthy Boots (no rough terrain damage) Worth 1 gold
-20 Gold

Game Post 2
The only two to remain at the round table are Neele Diamond, a studly sort of man that women swoon over, and the AVERAGE Wes. The barmaid arrives, her chest barely contained by her girlish frock. "Good patron, can I refill your ale?" However, it is the daring swill known as Burning Devil that Neele requests and at that, the woman gasps politely. "My good sir, that is a real man's drink. You are as manly as you are handsome! What a tragedy it would be for anything to happen to your swoon-worthy good looks! At once I shall bring you this drink."
At that, the barmaid timidly backs away and whispers to the barman.
All the while, Alex leaned against the wall, shifting coins between pockets. The strange eyes of predators watching him carefully from across the facility.
The AVERAGE Wes hums and huffs about his drab attire, eyeing some of the brightly coloured sundresses of the dancing women here. Then, Wes notices a man at the other end of the bar. The man kisses a woman in a pink dress on the neck and wanders into the bathroom. The man is wearing suspenders of GREEN! Easily +2 Style. No one else has entered the bathroom in some time. It is likely he's alone in there...
While the rest hang back, Rhys is quick to head into the crowd and shake hands, kiss cheeks, and dance the night away. He is so liked that the barman is inundated with free drinks for this fine Rhys chap. All four of you will be drinking for free tonight.
Along the many happy greetings, Rhys meets the stranger who is smoking a pipe next to the fireplace on the north wall. The man is draped in a wool blanket, and seems to have lines of concern etched into his face. He is unmoved by Rhys' cheery niceness.

Also to note, the Loose Noose is your Inn at the jobsite. The company you work for is paying your expenses in town for sleep and food, so you do not have to worry about paying rent.
