[Interest?] As stillness settles stone (MAZE RATS)

Hi. Some of you have played with me before. Here's your chance to do so more. Those who haven't, here's your chance at a first time.

Based on a typo that @psybermagi made, in an excellent Tiny Dungeons game that they are running right now, I want to run a new adventure using Maze Rats. Things I'm thinking about: ghosts; dwarfs; stone golems; echoing deeps.

Any interest?

I know they say there is no such thing as "Bad Publicity" but being known as the typo guy on a PbP forum is not my idea of a good marketing campaign. But thanks for the "excellent Tiny Dungeons game" plug. 😊
Sounds interesting but I'm full up ATM so good luck 🤞 and have fun with my typo 😃

I'd be interested! I'm interested in Maze Rats, and I dig darker tones.

@qralloq, @satanicpanic, we have two more players from Discord whom I am trying to lure here with candied words.

Would love more info.

Here's the intro:

It's deep winter, when the Longbeard Falls are frozen solid enough to permit the treacherous traverse by axe and toepick that has enabled you to approach the Gates of Ghostal. Once the dwarf stronghold had another name, but now it is called Ghostal. In its depths, in the treasury, lies a fabled talisman called Eightstrong. It's said that the spell in Eightstrong is bound with the health of eight sturdy dwarf warriors. The nature of the spell has been forgot, but surely it must have been worth the lives of such fine dwarfs.

You have crossed the Longbeard at peril, gotten your boots onto firm rock again, and ascended the steps to the Gates. The cavern opening looms above you as you ready your lanterns. Night approaches, and you are about to enter deeper darkness still.

Why do you want to retrieve Eightstrong?

I am strong keen and will channel my favourite melancholic dwarfs from Fighting Fantasy

Any special instructions on rolling up a character? Or should I just follow the standard Maze Rats character creation?

@satanicpanic just go standard rules.

I should note, I'm going to do things a little creepier with magic than is the case in standard Maze Rats. If you would like to have a spell slot, here's the basic differences:

- if you have any "unbound" spell slots, you will hear one spell each time you dream.
- once you hear a spell in your dreams, you can choose before you awake whether you will bind it to a spell slot.
- for each spell that is bound into a slot, you bear an eldritch mark that is usually pretty obvious to those whom you encounter.
- you can bind a spell from a slot into a talisman, if you also bind at least one point of health along with the spell. The health can have belonged to anyone, not just you. Binding more health makes the talisman more durable.
- anyone who carries a talisman also bears its mark, and can cast its spell.
- a spell bound to a slot or talisman can be cast once per day.

100% interested, looked into it and bought it. Love the concept of the game itself.

Hi @eyes - everyone's on the threshold of the dungeon, if you're quick about it you can jump in with a character as well. I'll invite you to the game.

Recruiting now is CLOSED.
