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 [community profile] 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.

Starting to think we might've planned this badly. [STARTING TO. HAHA. No really though. She is Piglet. They are fucked.] S'posse that you didn't notice anything rope-like before we came in, did you?

You mean aside from the trip wire that got us into this mess?
sorceresslite: (you're like a long game token)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-09-22 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. I don't savor the idea of ripping my dress to braid you a rope. Which probably only works in books.

Only one way to find out.
sorceresslite: (but your claim to fame)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-10-04 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Well fine. Ella attempts some ripping but the dice know she is a weakling (strength 0, that will always be funny to me) and nothing happens.]

Or... not. Maybe we should switch places, I'm not going to be much use up here. [She makes a face.] Otherwise I think we may die up here and people will find our corpses one day.

You're assuming anyone else is foolish enough to venture in here.
sorceresslite: (before we made it whole)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-10-04 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
S'not like we're the only two people in the world that would think "oh let's go down the creepy dark tunnel under the graves, it'll be a laugh!" Though you may be right, they probably won't find corpses, but skeletons.

Hopefully not animated ones. I'd prefer my bones get t'rest when all is said and done.
sorceresslite: (you fuckin' did it)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-10-04 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
I could probably booby trap your body, but you'd have t'be dead first. [She shrugs apologetically.] Which is just a wee bit counter-productive to being alive.

Alright, alright, let me at least give it a good try. [ he looks around for hand holds of any sort, and tries to heave himself up ... but he goes sliding right back down. repeatedly. ]
sorceresslite: (and you could see it)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-10-05 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Ella is not smiling and amused at his repeated failures. She certainly isn't, that would be rude. She might have giggled a bit though...]

So, basically, we're all manner of fucked then?

Seeing as how I'll doubt ye'll get more than 15 feet without me?

Most like, yes.
sorceresslite: (you fuckin' did it)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-10-07 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey. I'll have you know I could get a good sixteen feet on my own, thank you. I am the one that can electrocute people, remember. [And look at her not moving because... She doesn't actually believe any of what she just said.] Seriously, have you got a plan?
oftheband: (pic#6166979)

[personal profile] oftheband 2013-10-09 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
If you did, do you think I'd still be trying to scale this hole?
sorceresslite: (and you could see it)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-10-10 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Possibly. Seeing as you clearly love me and your struggles are amusing me... [She shrugs, like people have clearly done sillier things for love and Ella's own personal amusement.]

There should be a longer rope out in the horses' saddlebags. We're not far from the entrance.
sorceresslite: (you put it all together with a blindfold)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-10-12 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her nose wrinkles and she looks like she thinks that is a bad plan, she is small and delicate, she would be the first person to die in a horror movie. Maybe the second because she is ginger instead of blonde. ] Fine. Don't die when I'm gone, or I'll kick your arse. [ Pushing herself to her feet, she brushes off her dress. Someone is probably stalling... ]
oftheband: (pic#6166979)

[personal profile] oftheband 2013-10-13 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm like to die of starvation if'n ye don't get a move on, girlie.
sorceresslite: (before we completed it)

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-11-01 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ She huffs the most indignant of huffs and scowls. Girlie. Huff. And she stomps off, though very quickly it turns to delicately picking her way back because she doesn't want to wind up in her own hole by herself, but she nimble as that Jack bloke, so that's handy. (Dex nat 20) Now she's just got to, you know, carry out the rest of this plan. ]

[ THE HORSE AWAITS OUTSIDE. nothing horrible happened to it yay ]

[Look, the way Ella's imagination runs, she was expecting to find a husk of a horse because it was inexplicably devoured by ants like in that movie she watched at two in the morning on SyFy when it was still SciFi and didn't have Sharknados.] Good horse. We're on a rescue mission now. Where is your rope, then, hmm?

[YOU BET SHE IS TALKING TO THE HORSE while she roots around for the rope.] I'm gonna take that ten quid, or whatever it was, and buy meself an order of chips. I'll get you an apple, too, y'fatty. Maybe a carrot, whatdya say, love?

[Aren't you glad that Ella's got your back, Edain?]

[ i think this calls for a handle animal check, don't you? y/y ]
sorceresslite: (that keeps the game goin')

[personal profile] sorceresslite 2013-11-01 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[So.

Well.

Yeah.

About that.

She sure critfailed.]

[ as she roots around, the horse starts nervously prancing in place... and suddenly it bucks away from her and starts trotting off 8| GET AWAY GURL ]
