"Normal" RP

I'd like to start up an RP where only "normal" anthros participate.  So no magic, no advanced technology, just one's wits and good looks.  ;D

Preferably I'd like to do something medieval where we rescue the world from evil unicorns or something like that.  XD  Ideally I'd like to do something vaguely D&D(ish) 3.5 as it is easier to make shit up with that system.  So any classes that don't use magic.  But feel free to "make up" your own classes so long as it is balanced (D&D wiki is a great place to look).

I'd also not enjoy it if more than three or four people joined as it gets confusing and can take a long time for everyone to post.  Again, ideally I'd love a balanced party so a rogue, fighter, intelligence based character and maybe a charisma based character.  Make sense?  Hopefully it does.  ^^  I'll just fill in whatever role doesn't get filled.

(Keep in mind that immortality and reflexes that surpass physics all are included in the "magical and ridiculous" category.)

I'm down.
A 'normal' RP might be pretty cool, maybe a little less dick measuring contests (left to the characters instead of the players) and DBZ power-gaming. Should we post character ideas here, or PM them to you?

Cheeky Stoat

Nah, don't have to post character outlines but just let me know what you'd like your character's focus to be.

Any other takers?  This isn't a roll dice sort of system (unless I feel there's godmoding going on) I just used D&D to give a basic idea of character archetypes and how the world will be like.  ^^  So no levels and stuff.

How many folks did you want to get involved in this? I'm interested, but I think we should put a cap on how many can join. I've seen countless RP's fall apart when two of the thirteen in the rotation stop posting.

Cheeky Stoat

No more than four.  ^^  I know what you mean about too many people being a bad thing.

Can I be the town drunk? :D

Cheeky Stoat

Alright.  Basch, Fen and Aaryn if you're still interested say "aye."  I'll be sure to post the into thread in a few days when I get back to the world of internet.  (I don't move into my apartment until this weekend.)
