[LFP] Text-Based Adventure, Befinning at 715 PSat

Edited 1707090704
I currently have 2 and need a few more. I posted it for more players but have had surprisingly little feedback, and can’t seem to find it. At any rate, this is just in case there is actually interest in the adventure, and I just don’t list it right. Embark on a  text only  odyssey of the mind and spirit in "Labyrinths Beyond Worlds," an adventure that weaves together the threads of destiny, power, and the eternal struggle between confinement and liberation. As you traverse the realms of this high fantasy saga, you will encounter enigmatic characters, confront moral quandaries, and uncover secrets that challenge the very fabric of reality. In this text-only journey , your imagination is the canvas upon which the world comes to life.  The maps you'll navigate are but humble sketches, the charm of their simplicity leaving room for the grandeur of your own visions to fill the gaps. These rudimentary guides are not a measure of the adventure's worth but a testament to the collaborative spirit that fuels our shared storytelling. For those among you with a talent for cartography and a desire to enhance the experience for all, your contributions of battle maps are welcomed with open arms. Your creations will become part of the legacy of "Labyrinths Beyond Worlds," helping to shape the terrain upon which many will tread. Prepare to forge a hero of your own design, starting at level 7, with all official sources at your disposal. Craft your character with care, for they will not only face the challenges of this adventure but may also become woven into the fabric of future tales yet untold. Your creations will be cherished, their legacies honored, as they continue to live on in the worlds I craft. Join this journey with the understanding that your characters, your ideas, are seeds that will be planted in the fertile ground of this and other adventures. They will be nurtured, respected, and given a home where they can flourish and inspire. Are you ready to step into the labyrinth? Will you rise to the call of adventure and leave your mark upon the worlds beyond?     I have recently discovered that there are people who enjoy the text only games, which takes away from one of the weaker aspects of my DMing game -performance. Still can't fix my non-existent maps, but I can tell a good story.  Gather round, brave adventurers, for the tale I am about to tell is not for the faint of heart. It is a story that begins in the most unassuming of places—a place where the veil between worlds is thin, and the whispers of the past beckon the bold to step forth into legend. You find yourselves in the common room of the Gilded Griffin, a tavern as filled with rumors as it is with the clinking of mugs and the laughter of its patrons. The air is thick with the smell of roasting meat and the warmth of the hearth. Yet, amidst the merriment, a sense of anticipation hangs heavy—a feeling that tonight, the very threads of fate may be pulled in an unexpected direction. As you each nurse your drinks, lost in your own thoughts and the comfort of shadows, a cloaked figure enters. With purposeful strides and a gaze that seems to pierce through the dim light, they approach your table. From within the folds of their cloak, they produce a parchment—an invitation sealed with wax that bears the sigil of an eye encircled by stars. The figure speaks, their voice a low thrum that cuts through the din of the tavern. "The Archmage seeks those with courage enough to tread where others dare not. Within the Ruined Castle lies a gateway to the Maze of the Blue Medusa—a realm of wonder and terror, where the very walls breathe with ancient magic. Will you heed the call to unravel its secrets and face the labyrinths beyond worlds?" As the figure departs as mysteriously as they arrived, you are left with the sealed invitation and a choice. Will you join forces and accept this quest that promises the allure of untold mysteries and the danger of a labyrinth that has claimed many a soul? Or will you let this moment pass and remain within the safety of the known world? Prepare yourselves, for should you step through the castle's forgotten gates, you will embark on a journey that will test your mettle, challenge your convictions, and change your destinies forever. The labyrinths await, and within them, the chance to become part of a story that will echo through time. So, what say you, adventurers? Will you take up the Archmage's invitation and begin the journey into "Labyrinths Beyond Worlds"?     Please throw together a quick character, it's a serious adventure, but you shouldn't spend too much time stressing about it. I will select 5 people, probably in order of appearance. Note, however, that I will not accept you if your response doesn't include  text only adventure  somewhere in there. 
Guys, this is 715 PST today; slap something together with the intention of having a good time. This is my first time running this story, so this is going to have some bumps along the way anyways. I’d just love some People to for the ride.

Dearan L. said: Ill embark on an  text only adventure  but will it be here or on discord or?? Hey buddy, this adventure has filled up, but let me know if this one interests you: In the bustling heart of the city, where the market's vibrant lifeblood pulses strongest, a peculiar menace casts its shadow. The sun, a golden sentinel in the sky, bathes the cobblestones in a warm glow, yet the air thrums with an undercurrent of discord. Adventurers, weary from their recent forays into the wilds, find no solace here. Instead, they are beset by a flock of birds, each a master of aerial artistry, swooping and diving with unnatural precision. These winged thieves, emboldened by an unseen force, target the adventurers' hard-earned baubles, their deft wings and beady eyes pilfering with the finesse of the most skilled cutpurses. The heroes, though drained, are not bereft of their wits or might. With the keen eye of a hawk and the swift hand of an assassin, they fend off the feathered marauders, safeguarding their possessions. Amidst the chaos, they discern a pattern to the pilfering—a dance choreographed by an intelligence that belies the simple minds of birds. As the last of the avian assailants retreats into the sky, a trail of scattered feathers and trinkets leads away from the market's heart, beckoning the adventurers to follow. ___ To answer your question there will be discord for developing the adventure (very slowly in most cases, but quickly when we're all on at the same time); we can also use it to shoot the sh*t while we're playing (I may not talk much because my son will probably be asleep- but I write plenty). If you're interested in it, I'll start putting it together. 
Hey! I'm interested in a   text only adventure.  This looks like a great time. Do you have room for another in either of these scenarios? 
Hey bud, your actually be number 1 on cursed symphony and we’d set it off once we’ve got a gang. Text moves pretty slowly, but I think I’m getting more efficient; either way I’m excited for this one too! give me a character concept; I can’t remember what I said, but I think level 3 for this one; one uncommon magic item. Everything legal no need to ask, unofficial stuff just ask but probably yes if it’s not ridiculous Helrunar said: Hey! I'm interested in a   text only adventure.  This looks like a great time.

Sweet! Thank you, I'm going to send you a couple questions whenever you get a chance. Just let me know and looking forward to it. 
I shall wait patiently! If you have friends that you like playing with, that makes my life easier, if not we just wait til it fills up Helrunar said: Sweet! Thank you, I'm going to send you a couple questions whenever you get a chance. Just let me know and looking forward to it.
