Let us begin!
Roll up a character per the Big Red Box page guidelines and post it here. If only a couple of people are interested at the start, we'll go ahead anyway. This game can fit from 1-23 players. Most PbP games seem to find it useful to have in-game and out-of-game threads, so we'll start another when we're set. Your character has to fit this opening scene:
Your small band of adventurers has found a hole in the ground right where the village boy, Vimmy, said it was. Exactly as he described, the ground opens in a raw edged sinkhole perhaps 3 feet across. The sun shines some thirty feet down to the glistening flowstone floor of a cavern. A length of rope the two boys tied to a strong root nearby still dangles down. A splatter of dried blood is visible below, but the body of the boy who went down first, Ogrum, is nowhere to be seen. Vimmy said he saw two monstrous, twisted creatures burst from the darkness and fall on Ogrum a few minutes after he went down, even as he described the wonders of the cavern visible by the light of his torch to Vimmy up above. They bore cruel hacking blades and wore magnificent jewels and rings on their gnarled fingers.
The sun is warm on your backs as you crouch around the hole, the birds sing a sweet song, and the soft lush grass would make an ideal bed, but this opportunity is why you came to Palofaria and its cursed caves. Down here is where the magic has gone, here below is where the treasures of ages have gone, from here, evil crawls up to trouble the world beneath the sun and stars. So, how do you descend?
