The following list of roles may be included. Others may be added before the official start, which will be made clear at that point:

 

Upon death, all players must choose to continue in the "afterlife" as either a Tree Stump or a Restless Spirit. Once an “afterlife” player’s alignment is revealed, that player will leave the game, i.e. "Noobmaster, Town, has left the game."

7. Necromancer – At night, the Necromancer may choose any dead player to revive from the dead.

Days will last 48 hours (inclusive of d1).  Nights will last 24. 
 

This is a hammer game. Failure to reach a majority lynch by deadline will result in a random player chosen to die. 

 

Phase page numbers and VC’s will be posted in the OP.

 

Votes and Unvotes need to be bolded, in black, on an individual line. Unvotes are required.

 

If you do not intend to use a Night Action, notify me that you wish to holster so that the game can move forward with no delay. 

 

Some actions or roles may be limited to 1x, 2x or 3x.

 

Some actions or roles will be "Pass Alongs", meaning that the user has one night to use the role and must then choose the player to pass it along too. If a player receives more than one Pass Along role, they may choose only one to use.

 

If a player dies while holding a role, that role will not be passed along and will be removed from the game. This will be announced at the time of death, i.e. "NoobMaster69, Cop, has moved on to the afterlife."

 

EMO outbursts are forbidden. If a player has an issue with the game or another player, take it up with me. I won’t hesitate to take action against anyone playing against the spirit of the game. 
 

RL talk and circumstances shall be kept to a minimum. Opening posts and d1 chit-chat are to be expected. Past that, discussion of events outside of the game is prohibited. if you have a situation that requires subbing out, take it up with me. Otherwise, stay focused. 

 

This is not a bastard game.

The Dragon and the Swift is a new chapter told in the fantasy setting of what was previously (at least to me) known as the world of Suras. I choose to rename the planet to Areth for a few reasons, including copyright. because I did not invent the name and only use the aspect of the project that I created. Suras also has two definitions, one that describes a chapter or sections of the Qur ān, the other describing the portion of a leg known as the calf. Neither of these has anything to do with this fantasy world, so a change was needed.

 

However, the vast majority of what folks will remember form the old adventures is still in place and expanded upon. I dug up a few of the old graphics for posterity:

Yes, the maps are terrible, but then I never claimed to be a mapmaker lol. The Sinta Blade graphic was graciously created by Sinister Death and looks great to this day. I'm still searching for other graphics on old drives, etc., and will post them if I find any. 

[DPR]

The basic plot of the story revolves around the adventures of a nation of a sea-faring population, better known as pirates for lack of a better term. The above Sinta Blade is their signature weapon. 

 

There are a host of other nations, some good, some bad and a particular grudge held by the Elsidol Empire toward the pirates, of Corsair of Sel Erratz. u

 

The stories take place in a number of locations, mostly tropical, but also in temperate and tundra environments. 

 

I changes the magic system to revolve around psychic abilities interfacing with animal life and the souls of those who have passed. It was previously centered around an element known as "bonestone", but I didn't create that (I can't remember who did, but it was a compelling idea and maybe at some point they'll want to write their own story!) so I reimagined the entire thing to better fit the overall plot I have in mind.

[Gudrean]

Is this a mafia game or an adventure game?

[Ithillian Turambar]

It will be a Mafia Game. It will probably be a very good Mafia game with twists and turns. Apparently these are very cool Pirates.

[Turin Turambar]

Are they space pirates? 

[Ithillian Turambar]

Space Pirates would be science fiction I think

 

 

[Turin Turambar]

So true. Fantastical creature pirates?

Okay, I'll stop spamming. 

[Shad_]

Definitely interested in playing this.

I Juuuust Saw this topic today, I actually still have that image even after I purged my Photobucket! (I'm pretty sure the original 3d files are toast though. The jpg I have saved on my disc is about 5-8kb so it's not going to get any better quality then what you've got).

That said, I did find these two things.

 

I think this was was an earlier iteration of a weapon I may have been working on for you?

 

And I can't recall if this thing I have simply called "Flick Dagger" was one of yours. 

 

Either way, these things are nearly what.. 18-22 years old now? This goes back to my Morrowind/Oblivion modding days. lmao

[DPR]

Yes! The Flick Dagger! These are great!

[Leelou]

Can we play this when I’m back from vacation? 

[Turin Turambar]

If Verb plays makes his character have some skibidi for the lolz

[Leelou]

That thing is weird lol

[Ithillian Turambar]

He will rand The Arch Pirate Skibidi 

 

It will be a completely random thing that that happens.
