After being wiped completely clean by the Inn's crash, The highly popular Apocalyptic phenoma that is Ragnarok returns! And no, i'm not reserving spots for my old players. I'm giving everyone a chance to join!

Let's give a little gaming info for those of you who weren't around for the First Coming of The End!

Ancient legends of the North prophecize a day when the dark enemies of the Earth will return. War will rage in the heavens and on earth, and in the fiery end of days, the Gods themselves will be called out to die in battle.
The Seas will boil, the terrible Winter Fimbul will sweep the lands. Brother will be Brothers bane, and the skys themselves will rain blood. Jormungandr will rise, and the mighty Dragon Nidhogg, Devourer of Corpses will come down on nations. Hel itself shall heave in agony, before being torn asunder by its own dark denizons. A ship, sewn from the bodies of shamed men shall sail, and it's mast will impale the sky. Loki himself stands at the helm, and behind him, the destroyers of worlds. As it's keel crushes the bloodsoaked shores, Ragnarok will come. This is Mankinds share, and this is the Death of The Gods....
Or so the Legends of the Norsemen told....before a new age of monotheism and light. An age of Stain glass windows, and glorious cathedrals rose, and old legends slipped back into the shadows....Until now.

In the Modern world. An age of science. An age of technology. Forgotten whisperings shall return, and the End of Days will arrive. But the prophecise also whisper of hope for mankind. A reborn and beautiful world. Survival of the few and the strong....but how....

Are YOU brave enough to face the winds of death without faltering? Are you strong enough to stand, while others fall? Will you face the end of days? Can you withstand dreaded Ragnarok?





Got your attention? Good! I want to see if I've got enough players before I post all the info, but basically, this is the rundown. The Game is basically set up in Stages. Players obviously must try and survive the horrors they encounter, and make it through the game, just like a typical RPG, except-I have stages set up because charactors WILL die. If you die, you get to make a new charactor at the next checkpoint and continue from there! I ran this tabletop, and had a list of spectators who wanted in!

The game is obviously rule based, but I have my own rules set up. Basicaly its just everything downtuned. Charactor sheets are very easy to make, and EVERYONE can do it. Not just people who play rule based!
So what do you say?

I invite you into my Nightmare World


THe following is instructions on charactor creation!

The game itself will begin in Upstate New York, but obviously, your character can have a history elsewhere. So give a biography, including careers, social life, all that good stuff . Have fun with it! Remember. Normal, everyday charactors. These people are not heros. They are you and I. Infact..if you want you can play yourself, but…be wary that you very well might die gruesomely.

Got my attention. Since I'm Icelandic and the Norse mythology was very strong up until only few hundred years ago (history was never my strong side and thus the exact date eluded me) I would like to try this out.

As for the prophesy, you got it a bit off, but I doubt it really matters (the ship was actually made out of dead men's finger- and toenails and had the name Naglfari). Don't want to be a pain in the behind about it, sorry.

Don't know if I'll be able to post much though, since I only have access to the internet on weekends and mondays (I work out of town the rest of the week), but I'll try and post as much as I can.

I'm in this sounds pretty interesting.

GRUGG IS PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN!!!


GRUGG IS PLAY IT GOOD!!!


Oh, and incidentally...in Soviet Russia...new players want YOU!!!

Wow, got some answers very quick!

And as for the facts, Don't you worry ...I know my stuff very very well(swedish, Asatru, and very devoted ). But for the rpg, It's always fun to change things around...After all, isn't the hide of shamed men more terrifying then their toenails? Also, in Swedish it's Naglfar. Variations left open lol.

The fact that I already have 4 people means I have enough to play! Of course, I'm still taking anyone who wants in, and im going to allow some more time for people to join, but this is a good sign!

Character set up like last time? BTW I don't remember it...so character set up?

It'll be like last time..but even I cant remember exactly...I'll have to get out my notes.

i want to play, val with the hippie avatar

It isn't a hippie, and You can play .

I'll set up rules for charactor instruction soon.

Yeesh...his looks about as much like a hippie as mine does a electrician...

I had to pass on this last time, but I have a lighter semister this time

Norse stories are always entertaining, and combine that with the twisted mind that is Val's, and you have a party.

Well we defenitally have enough players, and the ad hasn't even been up a day! Bravo! I'll have to be sure not to disapoint .

I'm aiming to get instructions on Charactor Creation up by tonight, so keep your eyes peeled.

I forgot to put something up....It's a warning


WARNING
Ragnarok is full of intense violence, gore, immorality and of course possible offenses to religion (since of course...in this game RAGNAROK takes place and therefor is real). If you are easily offended, or unable to handle the stuff that nightmares are made of....run..run far away....NOW!

lets try this again

Bob's in...hehehe...no reason...
