    So, let's experiment shall we?

    The idea is simple, we're going to play a Tabletop Game here, on the site. Mainly, I want to see how well a storytelling system works on a forum and maybe figure someway of improving it if possible. We will be using Cortex Plus, a system most notable for the Firefly RPG and a few other games based on TV shows. It seems appropriate and is a little more complex than Guardians of Equestria, which seems pretty simplistic for me.

    The plot is as follows:

    You have been tasked with finding and containing the Nightmare Entity. This is a magical manifestation that created Nightmare Moon, born of her anxieties and aggressions. It's a vicious creature and it must be dealt with somehow...

    Or, maybe you plan to utilize it? Who knows.

    Now, if you sign up for this, we'd have to run through Character Creation in Cortex so your Bio will be the biggest and most important thing to think on as it'll give me more excuses to add more perks to your characters as well as how the numbers should be shaped to fit them.

    Tell me what you think?

    Were talking about a full pen and paper like rpg? If yes I'm game. Don't know the system yet, but it can't be that hard.

    It's based on the idea of creating dice pools to improve your chances of a high result.
