I've decided to (try to) start my own game here, this could either work very well or it'll be an outright disaster, I can't see any middle ground here!
The game is called "The Never Ending Story", the idea is that each person posts a short addition to an on-going story, simple. I'd be amazed if this hasn't been done before, but heck! Here're the rules (these may change as I get responses):
1) After you make a contribution you must wait for someone else to post an addition to the story before you can add to it again. In other words, no multiple posts!
2) No post may add more then 3
sensible sentances to the story. You don't have to add three, you can add two if you wish.
3) No branching out with substories, that will just over complicate things.
4) No swearing or adult content (even censored), violent content should be kept to a minimum of detail. This is mainly due the fact this is a public forum, the mods have enough of a job with this forum already, don't make it worse for them here!
5) Try to keep things sensible, for instance don't bring in some cybernetically inhanced human armed to the teeth unless it's likely to happen.
6) No copyrighted material, use your own imagination goddammit!
I realise that asking the people of this forum to be 'sensible' may be asking too much, but I can only hope to be proved wrong.
Anyway, since I'm starting this game I may as well make the beginning of the story:
Three days of wading through sandstorms had left everyone exhausted; food and water were running low, not to mention morale.
They had found their way to a large cliff face and made camp in the mouth of a cave with the hope they may find some water deep within.
It wasn't long after nightfall when someone spotted a moving object in the distance; sand creatures of the night are often dangerous.
I don't suffer from insanity:
I enjoy every minute of it!
