    WHAT IS THIS GAME SIMON

    It's the Sheryl Crow Role-Playing Game. Read the information above, it contains all the info you'll ever need. If you don't like the layout, then you can go ahead and download the pdf (it's a freebie) from right here. It's a quick read.

    WHAT'S THE PREMISE

    Man, can't you read? We'll be going with the base setting - all the player characters are trying to meet Sheryl Crow. One step further - you're all in a band, and Sheryl Crow is your muse. Maybe you're a Sheryl Crow cover band, that's your call! The point is, Sheryl Crow is your objective. Maybe other things will happen. That's the magic of the Sheryl Crow Role-Playing Game, we come up with the story together.

    HOW WILL THIS WORK

    Like any other play-by-post! We'll be using this as the IC and OOC thread, probably post in a different colour for in-character shenanigans. When the time comes to make a roll, I'll let you know, and then you can describe what you do as you roll. If you succeed or fail, don't worry, I Will Walk With You, and narrate the outcome. Who knows what insanity will occur during the game? Not me, that's for sure.

    HOW DO I APPLY

    Go over to Orokos or Invisible Castle and roll 3d6, no dupes! Whatever you get, assign one to each of Skill, Stamina, and Sexiness. That's your character. Post your rolls up, along with your character concept - who you are, what you do, why you love Sheryl Crow. Think of cool things your character will say, and what they will do, and what they'll carry with them.

    WHEN WILL WE START

    I'll give it a few days for people to apply, then I'll pick the people who want to meet Sheryl Crow the most, and they'll be in the band. I'm looking for four people, but if it's really popular, we could do more. Maybe, if you're lucky.

    So go on, get applying! You know you want to.

    Simon, if you'd do all my rolling for me (it is a real pain in the ass from my phone) I would play this game.

    Roll me some stats and I will make a character to fit them!

    If the players Sheryl their way into the heart and mind of Dear Sheryl, perhaps they will become Agents of CROW

    until then, they've just gotta sheryl it to the max

    THE LACK OF INTEREST IN THIS GAME IS A CRIME
    WHY IS THIS GAME NOT HAPPENING

    DON'T BULLSHIT ME BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHY

    SHERYL CROW IS INTO ME OR PERHAPS I JUST HAVE A VERY COMPELLING THEORY THAT SHERYL CROW IS INTO ME AND I AM GOING TO MAKE LIFE ITSELF WISH IT HAD NEVER EMERGED FROM EXISTENCE IF IT TAKES THAT TO GET YOU PEOPLE TO PLAY THIS GAME

    WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU STARING AT

    RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA: 3#1d6 1 4 1

    FUCKING REROLLS: 1d6 6

    SEXINESS 1

    SKILL 4

    STAMINA 6
    LOOK AT THOSE STATS YOU IGNORANT SCUMBAGS

    THIS GAME IS EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER NEEDED AND INSTEAD OF PLAYING IT YOU'RE GARGLING PROCESSED ANIMAL/VEGETABLE SLURRY WITH ALCOHOL AND DRUGS AND FASCISM AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE WHILE YOU ARE FALLING ASLEEP TO FOX NEWS

    I AM FIFTY YEARS OLD NOW SHERYL CROW

    I ATTACK MY VERY EXISTENCE CONSTANTLY AND AGGRESSIVELY SO THAT I SHALL NOT FEEL THE DEEP VOID OF THE FUTON I HAVE OWNED FOR TWENTY FIVE YEARS AND THAT I HAVE ALSO NAMED SHERYL

    THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO NOT WANT THIS

    RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    I AM HENRY ROLLINS

    Horseshoe, you are not Henry Rollins.

    Rolls:

    Chargen: 3#1d6 2 5 2

    Reroll a 2:

    Reroll a 2: 1d6 4

    So, a 2, a 4 and a 5.

    Stamina: 4

    Skill: 5

    Sexiness: 2

    I think.

    Kim Pine, disillusioned with her role in Sex Bob-omb as the drummer, has decided to become the most awesome country guitarist in the world, after seeing Sheryl Crowe live.

    The performance changed her life. Her ambition is now to become as hot and sexy as Sheryl herself, while improving her staying power and fabulous finger fretwork as a kickass guitarist in the Crowe Country Style.

    Yeah, you were driving some really gay looking compact, and a skinny-ass speed-freak that you'd just knocked over beat you up and stole your car.

    GHOST. RIDER. GHOST. RIDER.

    Those were the lyrics to the song you contributed to the soundtrack.

    THAT SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR AND UNFORTUNATELY THOSE WERE NOT MY WORDS BUT I LIKE THE SONG AND COMICS ARE QUITE ENJOYABLE AND SOMEWHAT INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGING WHICH I FOUND THE CROW TO BE IN A CERTAIN WAY BUT IT WAS ENJOYABLE TO COVER THE SONG GHOST RIDER AND THERE ARE MANY MORE WORDS INTO THAT SONG THE WORDS WHICH CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH AND WERE VERY GOOD LYRICS BUT MOST LIKELY THOSE THAT BECAME MOST MEMORABLE WERE INDEED THE WORDS GHOST AND RIDER SPOKEN IN THAT ORDER

    SOME PEOPLE SAID IT APPARENTLY HAD A QUOTE DANZIG SORT OF VIBE TO IT AND I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE MIGHT THINK THAT BUT IT WAS THE ROLLINS BAND DOING WHAT THE ROLLINS BAND DOES AND OTHER PEOPLE'S COMPARISONS ARE INCONSEQUENTIAL TO THE PERFORMANCE BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT MILEAGE IS BULLSHIT AND WE ROCKED IT HARD EXCITED FOR THE SONG AND THE PERFORMANCE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JUST US IN ONE OF THOSE BIZARRE LABYRINTHINE MUSIC STUDIOS WHERE YOU ARE ISOLATED INTO A BOX TO SING WITH YOUR BAND

    What would be a good combo with a fictional musician gone country and Henry Rollins?
    You need ... Like, a DJ or a black metal drummer or jazz bassist.

    Hmm. Rerolled stats roughly a million times to get no dupes: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/search/777934/
    3, 4, 5.

    I'm seeing an adolescent black metal drummer who took 5 hits of blotter acid while staring at a Sheryl Crow poster. A vision of Sheryl begins to speak to him ...
