test drive meme!

Interested in playing at Knights of Legend but want to get a feel for the players/characters/world? Already in the game but want to clown around with other muses to see how they would fit here? Now's your chance!

The setting is our world... but all the legends are real, because magic has spilled over the centuries from a Dungeons & Dragons fantasy dimension called the Shadow World into the modern one. If you have a canon character, they too have spilled over through cracks between dimensions - and remember little to nothing of their past lives, except in some rare cases. How much they remember is entirely up to you! Canon characters can either have recently arrived in this world, or already be settled and accustomed to it. Original characters are natives of either this modern+magic dimension, or from the Shadow World - in which case, they too lost memories on their journey here.

Either way, your characters have joined up with the Knights of the Silver Dragon: a large secret organization dedicated to protecting this world against the evil creatures arriving from other dimensions - and protecting the innocent dimensional travelers from cultural misunderstandings and prejudice that they face here.

Compiled from various memes at

bakerstreet . Deal with it.

How it works:
1. Post as your character with Name | Canon if applicable in the subject line. You can choose the scene and prompt yourself or leave it blank for others to decide. Current players can make threads too, if you'd rather tag them!
2. Others respond to your prompt or after going to RNG and entering numbers 1- 15 for a prompt. The Gamemaster will provide everyone with at least one NPC at random to interact with!
3. Respond and play it out!
4. Part of the fun of KOL is using dice rolls to determine success or failure of actions taken! For the purpose of this meme, don't worry about having a character sheet or stats for your character - if the GM or a fellow player asks you to make a roll to determine something, simply randomize out of 20 and compare it to the number they give you to see if your character succeeds or fails!
5. Play nice. If someone doesn't want to play something out, respect their wishes.

You may use threads from this meme for your application samples!

1. Arrival; Your character wandered into some mysterious mist in their homeworld... and abruptly finds themselves in some part of our modern world, with either all, most, some, or none of their memories missing! Play out their confused first steps in this new world. Get creative about where and what they arrived in the middle of!

2. Popo Shut Us Down; Oh crap, get to the getaway car! You may be innocent or have actually broken the law, but either way, you've got to escape those sirens because the cops don't know or care that you've got a license to kill and now you're wanted. Car, boat, chopper, whatever you want, just flee the scene together and fast!

3. Anger Management; Maybe they said something insulting to you, maybe you just don't like their face, but either way you're hit with the overwhelming urge to punch this person in the face. So you do. And everything rolls on from there. Do you get in an overly dramatic fight full of fiery explosions? Is a friendship shattered? Who knows!

4. Camping in the Wilderness; This has to be the worst mission ever. No fancy hotels for you. Just a tent. Don't get eaten by an owlbear!

5. Monster of the Week; You and the other character are on a mission together when you encounter some kind of hideous monster! Start a thread, and the GM will crash with some kind of randomized beast. :3

6. Trapped! One of the characters is trapped, whether behind bars or an unbreakable glass. Drama and/or epic breakouts ensue.

7. Apocalyptica. It's the end of the world!!11 Evil mages, horrible cults, the tarrasque, world war iii, you choose. The world needs some heroes, so maybe you should get on that.

8. Animated Bulldozer. Some wacky wizard cast a spell on a bulldozer, and now it's taken on a life of its own and is tearing apart the town! Shut it down! And then you should probably get on stopping that wizard, too.

9. Critical Failure. There's failure, and then there's critical failure - the result of rolling a one on your d20. This is an epic level of fail often reserved for slapstick comedy, but sometimes having really horrible consequences. You just set fire to the book you were attempting to do research with. You just tripped and fell face first into a moat full of crocodiles. Here's a solid example.

10. Weapon Training! The Knights handed you a gun - and gave you access to a massive armory full of every kind of medieval and modern weapon you can imagine. Make use of the combat rooms and get in some sparring time!

11. Godmod; The other character just gained the ability to spam spells of massive destruction. This could be bad.

12. Savior; you've been tasked to save this person, no matter the cost. Maybe they're a stranger, maybe they're your closest friend, even your greatest enemy, but you have to save them. From who or what is up to you!

13. C-c-c-cellmates. Man, getting kidnapped stinks. Break out?

14. Texts From Last Night; Either go to tfln, and select one, or make up one of your own!

15. Shot By Your Teammate; In the heat of battle, accidents happen... and the other character just shot you. ~~At least you think it was an accident. Dun dun dun.~~

16. Attack the Darkness; A classic dungeon crawl scenario! Never split the party as you make your way through a dungeon full of monsters and traps, looking for some kind of treasure.

17. Passive Aggressive Post-It Notes; Living with your fellow Knights 24/7, whether at the castle, or in close quarters on a mission, means you're going to get on each other's nerves sometimes. One or both of you is leaving passive aggressive post-it's for the other. Either respond in only post-it's back and forth, or roleplay out a confrontation once the notes get out of hand! Feel free to use the Post It Note Generator if you so choose!

18. Awkward Brunch; You've all seen plenty of these scenes before. There are tons of situations that can make things ~awkward~ between two people. And now you have to have brunch together. Uncomfortably pull through.

19. Fashion Show; Joining the Knights means getting a fancy suit of chainmail armor in blue and silver to wear for your Knighting ceremony. It weighs a ton and is awkward as fuck 8D You and the other character are trying them on for the first time together.

20. Curses! You have angered a wizard/witch/powerful faerie/omnipotent entity/incredibly stereotypical gypsy/all of the above, somehow, because you're probably a horrible person. The next day you discover you've been cursed. The nature of the curse and whether it affected one or both of you is up to you.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[shawdowkind human sorceress, irish accent, kind of a nerd, really like cats & tangerine flavored lipgloss, afraid of ducks.]

[This is the actual worst. Andrew hates most missions in general, but camping??? Ugh, he can already feel about half a dozen bug bites on one leg alone. Speaking of which, he slaps at his arm uselessly when he feels another small, sharp pain.]

All the money in the world and they insist we 'rough it' for the whole week... [He mumbles to himself, idly scratching. He checks his phone for the millionth time and makes another disgruntled face when he sees that there's still no signal.]

Andrew, love... [Ella glances over at him, tugging her sweater tighter around herself.] Has anyone ever just come up to you and punched you right in the cock? Because if you look at your bloody mobile one more time, I will.

[He glances up at her sharply, eyes wide with clear fear at the threat.

Slowly, he slides the phone into the pocket of his jeans, his nervous gaze never leaving her. His hands return and remain ~~protectively~~ in his lap.]

[The fact that he is scared of her is very amusing to Ella, since she is painfully weak. But she nods, he is lucky she didn't threaten to break his phone. Wee lamb would have a heart attack, she thinks.]

Didn't you ever go camping when you were small?

[He doesn't mess around when it comes to the safety of his genitals. And a person doesn't have to be strong to do enough damage, okay. He figures that ignoring her questions will likely result in more threats of bodily harm so he swallows and replies.]

Sure. Hated it then just as much as I do now. [At least this time, he brother wasn't showing him up with all his eagle scout bullshit.] You mean you actually like being out here?

No, I think it complete bollocks and I'm going to buy a boat and charge it to Wynn because I'm pissed off. [She makes a circle around her face with her finger. Her very, very fair face.] Do I look like I like nature? I'm cold and I'm damp and I'm five seconds away from inventing a spell that blows up every insect in a three mile radius. And did I mention I'm freezing? But every time you look at your stupid mobile it reminds me we're basically in hell.

[He opens his mouth as if to try to speak, but closes it quickly and looks at her curiously.]

Wait- can you do that? Blow up all the bugs? 'Cuz that would be great. I'm getting eaten alive over here.

No. [She pouts, clearly not at all pleased by this. Her familiar, a tiny ginger and white kitten, headbutts her leg but she ignores him.] I've not found a spell for that. If they get close enough I can electrocute them though.

[His shoulders slump slightly, obviously disappointed in the notion as well.]

Guess that's something. More than I can do.

Could've packed bug spray. [She smiles, finally, and leans over to root around in her bag, popping out with a little bottle that she tucks into the kitten's collar before he pads over the Andrew, blinking balefully at him. The animal's expression basically reads: say thank you or I'll scratch your eyes out while you sleep. Aodhagán is a sweet kitten.]

[Andrew isn't exactly afraid of animals, but he's not besties with them either. So after he gingerly takes the bottle from the cat's collar, he pats it awkwardly on the head.]

Nice kitty. [And a glance up to Ella.] Thanks. And sorry for being such a tool. Being out here makes me anxious- like Wynn's gonna realize the mistake he made and kick me out.

[She snorts.] Doubt it, love. Your nerd magic is pretty stellar.
