[Glossolalia Presents: RADLands] In which Marsh reaps what he sowed.

Seven days ago, the world ended. Not with a bang, or with a whimper, but with a sound like a helicopter being forced through a very small tunnel filled with bells that are also on fire.

Grab your shotgun and don your re-purposed sporting equipment - Ragnarok's come and it's time to mess shit up.



That's right, people - the first Glossolalia game has come to an end, and that means it is time for us to start anew. New setting, new story, new rules, and new adventure! So, if you kinda wanted to join the last one, but couldn't make it through the impenetrable wall of twice-convoluted backstory, now is the time to get in on the ground floor of the next game - just check out the expanded rules here, think up a character, and shoot me a PM or post right here in this thread.

If you do not want to make a character, but would still like to bip in occasionally/fuck with the players, then do I have good news for you! Characters who's names are written in Lime may be controlled by anyone who wanders into the thread. Anyone. Just make sure to post the character's actions in Sandybrown so I notice them.

For those of you who have already signed-up, and have a character you're already working on, you have one choice left to make before the game can actually begin. You must...
[Choose Your Starting Mission]

[The Third Heat] [Krosius, Dubh, Lockout, Dux, Scarlet St., Firetruck, Kayne Red Robe]
Estimated Location: Western Nevada
Description: In a diner in the middle of nowhere, supplies are running low, and tensions are running high. You have been trapped here for days now by a sandstorm that stubbornly refuses to pass. You are out of food, and running low on coffee. If you are to survive, you will have to brave the storm and find nourishment before the desert claims you.
Unlockable Ads: [Waster], [Desert Navigator], [Iron Blood]

[Mayfield is Dead] [Bearstranaut, Viscount Islands, Cheeseguy, Abdwhasit]
Estimated Location: Unknown
Description: When the crash hit, Mayfield was hit hard - the modestly sized city suddenly dropping more than a mile into the ground, its skyline sinking into the earth, its streets flooded with dirt, sand, and stone. Now, if you ever hope to see daylight again, you will need to brave the strange, mutant thinks lurking in the dark corners of the buried city, and forge a path back to the surface.
Unlockable Ads: [Acrobat], [Expert Forager], [Tunnel Lord]

[Hail to the Watch] [Antimatter, Speed Racer, Tommy2Hands, Neotoma, Marshmallow, Randeados, Orikaeshigitae]
Estimated Location: Northern California
Description: The neighborhood has changed. Since the crash, a wave of paranoia and violence has spread through the once-calm suburbs. Now you find yourself trapped in their hastily assembled jail-house, standing trial for crimes you may or may not have committed, and you are getting the sinking suspicion that these folks are not the sort to opt for rehabilitation.
Unlockable Ads: [Charmer], [Shank], [Burglar]

    I think this thread might inspire me to finally play through Fallout 3. I've had it since release but I got it around the same time as LittleBigPlanet and that game pretty much ate my life so yeah.

    Earl

    Physical [3]
    Phys Ods:

    Blind as hell[-2]: Your eyes either do not work, or are missing entirely.
    You lack the ability to see. If you have Mindsight, this Od is worth only [-1].
    Social [1]
    Mental[4]
    Mental Ads: Psycher, Mindsight [Psycher][2]: You are able to see with your mind, being fully aware fo the world
    in a (10 x Mental) foot radius around you. This "vision" is unaffected by light or dark, though fog and gasses
    still block it, and you may not "see" through solid objects (including normally transparent materials such as glass).
    Some sort of crazy ass magic man with machines and the stuff they do (Profession) [3]


    Earl was born a bright, bubbly, sight-having boy. Until he met fucking SNAKES.

    Bitten blind by rattlesnakes at the tender age of 23, Earl was terribly upset. "Good god" he thought,
    "They will not let me drive like this at all."

    Earl was, and still is, the best mechanic around these parts - or maybe ever - and was, and will always be "blind"

    He continued to work, fixing cars and pinchin' butts by smell, feel, and hear alone. It was insane. He fixed not only cars, but boilers, and rubix cubes, and tv's, and fish wheels, and brownie bakers, and cantankerous klinks, and cognizant cogs, and hoo-dads, and whatsits...

    He fixed everything.

    And then everything crashed.

    And Earl could See.

    Earl Could See.

    You're mistaken to think you're the first gunslinger.
