Knights of Legend | 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.  
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! Many people end up using this TDM as canon or partial canon to their post-Veil history!  As long as you get the consent of those you're threading with, that's perfectly fine. :)

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. The Floor is Lava; When spells go very wrong (or right?), sometimes childhood games aren't so funny... or imaginary.

4. Trapped in an Elevator;  Bad luck or part of a villainous trap?

5. Roadtrip; You and the other character are on a mission together but it involves some travel.  How will you handle life on the road together?

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. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes:  Whether mad science gone wrong, or dangerous magic, now there are people-sized tomatoes terrorizing the town.  Someone better do something about that.

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. Handcuffed Together; You've fallen prey to a set of cursed handcuffs, and now you and the other character are inseparable!  Literally...

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. Another Goddamn Squiring Party:  Squiring parties are exciting!  Until you've been to a hundred of them.. Maybe this one will get spiced up with some drunken shenanigans???

Robin, Robin, Robin. [He shakes his head condescendingly, catching the eye of his latest target and winks.] It's all about the chase. Where's the fun in just getting their number from the pre-programmed phone? Also? Kind of stalkery. You gotta let them see the goods first so they know who's calling.

[He turns to her, raising an eyebrow.] Have you been calling guys by getting their number from the phone?

No, because I got here five minutes ago. How desperate would that look? [ hint: about as desperate as u look ]
suitup: (I had an awesome thought)

[personal profile] suitup 2016-06-15 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
You say desperate, I say... being proactive. Phrasing is everything.

We'll see if it's everything, when you tell me just how many of them call you back.

I can't believe you still have so little faith in me. And when I've almost got Bingo too.

[He pauses, smirking expectantly.]

I don't want to see it. [ he's gonna show her ]

I'm glad you asked! [She definitely asked in her heart. He knows it. He pulls out a piece of paper from his inner coat pocket and unfolds it. On it is a bingo board with different shadowkind races written in each square. A handful are already crossed out, though he doesn't have bingo in any direction yet. The free square in the center simply depicts a high five.]

I call it Shadowchick bingo. If you read my blog you'd have known about it weeks ago.

Wow, that's almost a new low. I say almost, only because this one doesn't seem to involve any disguises.

Oh, it can. [He pulls out some costume ear tips from his other pocket and holds them up.] Is it racist to wear these to seduce an elf?

I think you passed 'racist' somewhere in the process of conceptualizing this card.
