Fighting In Tunnels

[Monte Carlo]

Hello.

 

Fighting In Tunnels* © is my exciting new fantasy game. in it, you play the part of intrepid adventurers fighting monsters. In tunnels.

 

Please post your characters, the ruleset is quite flexible. Although it is a classless system you may give your characters an archetypal descriptor (i.e. Tunnel Warrior). I, of course, am the Tunnel Master.

 

When we have four characters I will begin. Honestly, it will be awesome.

Does figthing intergalactic slime-monsters in wormholes count too?

^ Please stay on topic, whelp. The expansion you describe is extremely good value for money DLC that will be released later.

What metaphysical restraints are placed on character generation. Will there be magic, or is this purely a fantasy game. Are the tunnels large enough for morphing into a dragon?

It is my pleasure as Tunnel Master to answer sensible questions and address issues concerning splendidly named characters.

There are no metaphysical restraints and you may use magic. Being set predominantly in tunnels, spells that involve light sources and oxygen supply are useful. Some tunnels are very small, some are very large -characters capable of metamorphosis might wish to use a range of creature sizes.

Will you be releasing the source code and ruleset under an open licence?

[Oner]

This game is all about feeling good about playing it - if you wish to post stats then I'm sure we will all be happy to peruse them. Remember that tunnel fighting often involves confined spaces, dual-wielding Maglites are an excellent combo of light source and blunt kinetic trauma. I am intrigued with why the Sturzenfurzen family chose Tunnel Fighting, it is a type of activity usually undertaken by the lower orders.

Ah, but don't do those of lower birth rise to nobility because of their adventures? The St

I am Tunnel Fighter, raised by my parents Nook and Cranny to fight in tunnels. I am however, ideologically opposed to fighting and have a phobia of tunnels. I have only one stat, Awesomeness, and in that I have 100 out of a possible 10.

[Oner]

Yay, two of us. \o/

[Monte Carlo]

OK, a claustrophobic tunnel fighter and a stat-obsessed tunnel munchkin. What could possibly go wrong?

[Oner]

You told me to post them. ;_;

[vault_overseer]

Tunnels, eh?

 

My character is called Keith Flint. He's a two horned devil with spells like: "Running without moving", "Speaking without saying anything", "Drawing attention" So he's pretty useless at fighting and stuff, but he's great at distracting enemies and drawing attention.

 

Here's him in a tunnel: http://22.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp0zebZ1...zn70jo1_500.jpg

Can I be Drizz't?

[kirottu]

Will there be tunnels of love? For, you know, battle of sexes and other fighting stuff.

[Oner]

Sensei, can I change characters? His name's Tarry and he's a pretty swell guy.

[kirottu]

Oh, I want to be a Tunnel Wizard with talent towards water element. I could make those tunnels dripping wet.

[kirottu]

I would be particularly helpful for stealth oriented group that decides not to go to the main tunnel filled with enemies and go through smaller, narrower and little bit smelly tunnel almost right next to the main tunnel. No one would get stuck on my watch.

I'm trying to keep myself from going there... trying really hard...oh shi

With your 17 inch "magic wand"?

 

[Aristes]

I'm a tunnel cruncher. I can't actually cast any spells or use any weapons, but I spend hours and hours discussing the chances other adventurers have of surviving upcoming encounters.

 

This is a splendid idea, MC. I tip my hat to you, sir!

[Trenitay]

I want to be a tunnel hermit. I live in the tunnels. I can't use any weapons effectively, but I can deal lots of damage by ambushing enemies in my tunnel home.

[Aristes]

I don't know. I think, in all seriousness, maybe I wouldn't mind being a cleric in the service of the tunnel. I mean, it's so completely alien to us. Your life is forever constrained by the stone. There's a small joke about 'falling up' in the Orzammar of Dragon Age, but I think the out and out fear of the outside would be terrifying to someone who had been underground his entire life. You could draw from different types of powers, such as stone, silence, and darkness. I see the cleric could have classic powers of healing and buffing, but he could also have the powers of scrying. He could speak with the stones to learn what has transpired and what lies ahead. He could see patterns in the darkness, giving him hints about what has been and what's to come. He could hear voices in the silence. etc etc so on so on One thing that I like about this idea is that it can be far more mystical/mysterious than the typical DnD core class.
