The town of Brogdin used to be named Tale—that is until the evil queen took her seat upon the throne. It was renamed Brogdin by the brother of the ogre that was slain by Puss in Boots. His name, thusly, was Brogdin and he was appointed mayor of the town by the queen herself.
Brogdin, unlike most ogres, is actually quite intelligent for being a slobbering, giant ogre. He runs the town with an iron fist, making sure the stores that provide him with food and clothes are well in business, and that businesses like The Three Little Pig’s brothel never go under. Brogdin often enjoys visiting the brothels and lavishing the pigs with his riches just for one night with the prettiest girl they can offer. Of course, the prettiest girl often rotates, but no skin off his fat nose.
The crime rate in Brogdin has escalated to the point that few can be trusted. In the alleys reside thieves of numerous expertises: pickpockets, impersonators, conmen, etc. The orphaned children have created tight-knit gangs that are often just as dangerous as adult gangs. There are prostitutes sashaying down every sidewalk and homeless folk sleeping in nooks and crannies. One would have to be tough to survive Brogdin, and also very clever. It is a forsaken town of neglect.
List of Places
• Bakery (players can name this)
• Tavern (players can name this)
• Inn (players can name this)
• The Three Little Pig’s Brothel
• Guard Post
• Tailor Shop
• Shoemaker
• Apothecary
• The Tipsy Fairy Pub (Named by HitoriRaven)
Players can name any of the above places. If any player gives the establishment a name, then all players are to accept the name of that building. If someone calls The Bakery, "The Muffin Shop," then it will be so and everyone is to call it that. Understand? Also, if there is a place your character is going to that isn't listed above, then it will be created and listed above.
List of NPCs
Any NPC created by the player, and who plays an active role in this town will be listed here.
Basic Rules
1. No OOC Bubbles. Keep OOC in the OOC, and if you need to privately speak with a certain player, then do so by using the PMs.
2. RP Speed. Remember, I said at least once a day or 2 to 3 times per week. If someone hasn’t posted for 4 days straight and gave no notice of their absence, then feel free to skip them and improvise.
3. Do not post for the hell of it. If you can’t think of anything to post, then don’t post. Or if you are eagerly waiting for someone to post, and just want to post to satisfy that anxious urge, don’t. Just go find something to do. Please only post something that moves your character along or the story or whatever. Don’t write pointless posts. They don’t accomplish anything.
4. 200 words minimum. I do not like one-lining so at least try to meet that limit.
5. Do not post pics in the IC. Usually people post ridiculously, huge pictures in the IC. Please do your best to describe what you’re talking about. No pictures please. If you want to share a picture for a certain scene, use the OOC thread to post it up. Not the IC thread please.
6. Post your Location. Be sure to write where you are. Like a little note at the top of your post or something. The castle is enormous. Your character could be anywhere and it lets everyone know exactly where.
GM Recommended Notes
1) I made this section for those who are role playing Leaders to help assist them in guiding the RP. This is to also guide ALL the players on how they are to go about this territory. The players of The White Order will need to keep a low profile when strolling through this town. Brogdin though owned by Brogdin is under the Wicked Queen’s rule and watchful eye. Her soldiers are the regulators and oppressors.
2) Brogdin is neutral ground. The ogre that governs the town is an NPC played by the GM. You cannot control him. Players can do whatever they like in this town and also secure some contacts here or gather information about either The Dark Court or The White Order. Players can create any NPCs, but if you go too overboard, meaning overstepping your bounds and thus threatening the plot, I will ask you to edit your post.
3) At this time, I’m going to be trying to round up more heroes for The White Order.
