Welcome to
Stranded and Astray
Please read the rules before getting started.

This is a roguelike RPG forum game.
Players move in turns depending on what they do and how much time it takes.
Players can do almost anything they desire as long as it can be done in real life.
The players all move independently in the same world.

PvP is allowed, but PvE is the main focus.
There are going to be events later in the game, and maybe an actual storyline.

What's different from normal RPGs is that instead of making a character, you need to claim one instead.
I will make new characters available every now and then, but I'm aiming to max out at eight players or so.

Actions can be posted here or sent by PM, whichever you prefer.
I can understand that in case of PvP battles you might want to send your actions via PM.

Things you need to know:

RULES:

Show Content

Spoiler1. Death is permadeath. You cannot resurrect yourself. You have to wait until a new character comes into play and claim it.
2. No overpoweredness. You can only do what a normal person can do, however:
3. Each character has one ability which will be decided once it is claimed. There will be a list of valid abilities at the bottom. Got an idea? Tell me, I might add it in.
4. PvP is allowed. However, it might take a while to find other people. Prepare yourself for some PvE first.
5. Please suggest ideas, it's appreciated.
6. Have fun.

Other game mechanics:
1. You cannot move during nighttime.
2. You can be attacked during nighttime, in which case you need to defend yourself.
3. You can say any action you think you could do. I will make up time and energy costs for it, since I cannot even start to label every possible action.
4. You will be replaced if you do not move in time. A PM will be sent after three days, you auto-rest after a week. You are out after two weeks of inactivity.

Since there is almost no chance at all you will meet each other after the next action, you may still both move.
(Five or ten minutes don't matter, unless the players are very close. You two are quite far apart, so the time difference between your moves can be larger.)
