Just making sure, we can start, right? We're not waiting for someone to play the first terror that the main characters will come across, right?

Oh, er... sorry, yeah, go ahead. I can always play this first terror ^^

Oh, and posting order: I took your three names in pseudo-random order, then rolled a d3 and d2 to determine order.

Great, thanks for clearing that up. Hope more people join. I'll get to writing my first post now.

I suppose the posting order only really matters for combat situations. At the moment, go nuts ^^

Went nuts!

Now we wait for the other players to post.

Now its Alvin's turn. alvin? Alvin? ALVIN!

Can't wait to start beating up monsters.

Oh, and as far as swords go, I'll keep the best of them. If we find anything else that's a better weapon, you can have the shortword.

You mages know magic. YOU can use your brain to fight.

The posting order is mainly for combat, so as I said before... go nuts!

Y'know, this system is actually pretty cool for simple, PbP RPs like this

Totally!

Dvoloshin, that was a total set up for some comedy. you ask my name, i tell you my name, and you say something on the order of,"I most certainly did not! That your area of expertise!"
