"Hail, and well met traveler! Might ye be an adventurer?"

You've found a new home for your Play-By-Blog roleplaying games!

This style of roleplaying game provides the reader with the chance to enjoy an epic adventure story as well as allowing the player to guide the action and direction of that story to any one of numerous possible outcomes.  As a result - the adventures are limitless!

Realms of Adventures Play-By-Blog games are constructed so each and every adventure the players participate deeply and impact the outcome of the story greatly. The players assume the role of central characters in the world in which the story takes place. From the beginning of a scene to the end of a major story arc, the players guide their characters through various situations by means of simple blog post comments. 

How Do I Get Started?
Read the following rules of the game and then just Sign Up! The initial information will be sent to you via email.

What Core Ruleset Is The World Built Around?
Realms of Adventures is built on the Open D6 Gaming System. Originally developed by West End Games, the D6 Gaming System was originally designed for cinematic gaming. The system really gained notoriety when it was paired with the Star Wars RPG under the direction of West End Games.

Open D6 Gaming System is a versatile and particularly lightweight game mechanic that lends itself to any style of game play. The system works best with cinematic and exciting games that demand fast-paced action and death-defying feats!

In addition - Realms of Adventures accepts gaming resources from ALL major published role playing games. If there is a game world, or genre your adventuring party would like to explore, contact Realms of Adventures to craft a campaign, host the game, and function as Game Master so you and your friends can enjoy the game! 

More importantly - Realms of Adventures ultimately is bound only by your imagination!  If you can conceive of a character, creature, item, skill, spell, or scenario - Realms of Adventures was built to handle it.

How Does The Game Progress, Are There Turns?
The Game Master posts an initial scene in the form of a blog post. The Player(s) will post a reaction as a comment to the blog post, when it is convenient to their personal schedule. The Game Master and Player(s) interact within the comments for a short period of time.

Once the scene is wrapped up, and it benefits the progress of the story, a new blog post will be created by the GM. Every turn during the adventure follows a set format.  The GM will explain the current scene with a description of the location, any items or objects of interest, any creatures or non-player characters in the scene, and any possible (easily visible) exists.

Players make decisions for their characters, and climb as much as possible into the role of that character. The choices that you make are made on the fly, as the story progresses, and will impact all the other players - along with the very fabric of the world itself!

How Do I Impact Another World Through Blog Comments?
The players will submit their actions by comments to a blog post. As the players interact with the surroundings, items, creatures, and other players - the scene changes. Players must focus on guiding their character through the perils of the adventure each day via blog post comments between the Player(s) and the Game Master. The scenes will usually contain tricks, traps, riddles, encounters and combat.

Each turn that players complete will reveal more of the world in the following blog post. All the blog posts could be short descriptions, or several paragraphs of information used to describe surroundings, objects, creatures, non-player characters, events, and other players.

As a player, your job is simple: to react. When the Game Master sends the next part of the story by blog post, you read the story post and then figure out what your character would do in that situation. Some players may have a hard time writing more than two sentences when they begin at play-by-post role playing.

After using the system below player responses usually become much clearer and include a lot of insight into their character. You won't need to respond to every question on the list every time you post a turn. The list should help players as they sit down to write.

• What does the Character see from his perspective? Be descriptive; use lots of adjectives.
• What does the Character think about what he is seeing at that moment? Will it affect him in the near future? Will it have long term effects?
• What is your Character going to do about what s/he sees? Talk? Run? Fight? Miscellaneous Action?
• Who is standing near the Character and how will this affect them?
• Does having someone else nearby make your Character think or act differently versus if he was alone?
• What does your Character feel inside? Does this make him happy, sad, angry, and murderous?
• What does your Character say to the people around him? His friends? The bad guy? To God? To whoever else is around?
• When you say that, what reaction should the Character expect? Are his words going to be friendly in tone, defensive, hostile?
• What equipment does your Character have at his disposal that will help him in this situation? How is he going to use that weapon or object and what does he hope to achieve? Is he proficient with that weapon? Is it the best weapon to use or the best piece of equipment for the job? Why or why not?
• Finally, what does your Character do? Before he acts write what the Character is thinking at that moment so we know what is motivating the Character to do that particular action.
