Sounds like you've got a good hook so far. Wanna discuss it in Discord or DMs? I think I can help you get started, if you'd like; or if you don't wanna commit to Judging right away, I think just discussing it with you as an exercise might give me insight into a typical player's thought process.

Open question: is there anybody here who's on the edge of Judging, but is held back by either: problems they have with the current ruleset, or difficulty concerns? Basically, I want to make sure I'm not overlooking anyone who is interested and likely available for Judging, but held back by the...

Nora departs to scavenge supplies. Seeing this, the wild parent Gogoat visibly relaxes. It seems that the Gogoat was mainly concerned by your Pokemon, and not you. You crouch before the Skiddo and feed it some pellets from your bag. -1 Resources. The Skiddo gobbles up your food hungrily. Then...

Taking Maxim . Thread will be up sometime in the next 24hr. In order to ensure that anybody who wants to Judge this playtest has an opportunity to do so, I'm signing up as a Quester. If somebody new signs up, they may push me to the bottom of the Queue. Name: Mr. McDee Boroughbottom Pronouns...

You push through the crowd and approach Bill. He mistakes you for a rioter and, seeing as you're unarmed, tries to hand you a wooden 2-by-4 with a nail through it. Naturally, you refuse it. > You tell Bill to dial things down before someone gets hurt. Bill scoffs. "Me? Dial it down? Hey, man...

After zoning out for a minute, you feel more in-control of the situtation... Duo: -1 Stress. But the reality is, while you were deliberating, things have moved on without you alarmingly fast. You crouch behind a building so you can safely watch the crowd and assess the situation. A young man...

> What are you and your brother going to do when the crowd gets inside the shop? You aren't planning on fighting them are you?" "Well, my first option would have been to run away. But, with my brother in the state he's in..." (Lario is kneeling on the ground, dry heaving into a paper bag.)...

As you sprint deeper into the cave, your eyes slowly adjust to the darkness. Not enough to see clearly, per se, but enough to make out the shapes of the walls and to not trip over bumps on the ground. In this tunnel-like cavern, Clara's voice echoes far, giving you the courage to proceed...

Oona waves her arms and recites a mystical chant. You watch, bewildered, as a pink, glittery glow begins to coat the walls of the shop. > "Okay, well our main question is why everybody outside is so upset." Mario grimaces. "Ah, where to start... Well, my brother Lario and I work together to...

Only tastespring and the active Judge should post in this thread. (No tagalong this Session!) Session 1 Start Ah, adventure... Sometimes, adventure takes you somewhere beautiful. Other times, it takes you sloshing through mud and muck in the middle of nowhere. Today's is one of the latter...

Digging through this queue... taking tastespring next. Will tag you in the thread once I have it up. Queue: Maxim [Judge: ???]

Sparkling, luminous energy streams off of Oona's fingertips! Oona's silver ball of light soars through the air like a shooting star, hovers for a moment, and then bounces, ineffectively, off of the steel mincemeat bucket in the shopkeeper's hands. "What in tarnation...?" The shopkeeper looks...

Oona tucks her homemade pipebomb behind her wing, where nobody will be able to see it. It took quite a bit of effort to make -- no way she'd toss that away. :clefable: Oona: +1 Stress (from using Expertise), +1 Pipe Bomb You and Oona slip around the back of the store without being seen. As you...

> You approach the crowd and pull a few of them aside to ask what's happening. "A protest, silly! ...Or, maybe a riot. We haven't decided which it is yet." "Yeah, we sent Bill to go fetch a dictionary earlier so he could tell us which one's which." "Trouble is, he couldn't find a dictionary, so...

Only Doduodrio and the active Judge should post in this thread. Session 1 Start After three days' travel through rough, snowy tundra, you finally arrive at the small town of Glacierfront. Glacierfront: a quaint, rustic place where the townsfolk bundle up in log cottages and drink hot tea by...

This one's a bit bigger in scope than the last one! As before, this thread can be used for signups and discussion. Judge's Handbook (draft) Overview Adventure by Post (ABP) is a long-form storytelling game. In this game, one player (called the Quester) controls a Trainer and their partner...

You panic. How much are repairs going to cost? There's too much water to mop up. Does it have to be pumped out? Where would you even get a pump? Oh god, what about foundational damage? Is the water seeping down through the floorboards into the cement? The damage is getting worse second by...

You rub your electrified cheek against Kukui's arm. "YEOWCH!!" He cries out. Such pain! Hastily he releases you, so that he can rub the blister you gave him. How puzzling... you didn't think you delivered that much of a shock. But then you realize that he, you, and everything else in this room...

Full throttle you ride at the Professor! A trail of electricity sizzles behind you. Steadfast, Kukui holds his ground. "Rushing in, no hesitation? Attaboy! That's the spirit!" You aim a tackle for the middle of Kukui's chest. A handful of milliseconds before contact: Kukui deftly lowers his...
