Join us!

“Join us, brothers and sisters. Join us in the shadows where we stand vigilant. Join us as we carry the duty that can not be forsworn. And should you perish, know that your sacrifice will not be forgotten. And that one day we shall join you.”

Wait a second, what do you mean there aren’t Grey Wardens in this one?  I guess that scraps the epic recruitment quote, doesn’t it?  Er… come to Kirkwall, we have crime?  No no… um… cookies!  We’ll bake cookies!

Seriously though, Dragon Age 2 is going to be fantastic, and we’re going to make characters to live in that world, and you should too.  In fact, if you think you might be interested, you should come and hang out with us in IRC and get excited over the release of the game like we are while you make your character.  We want to meet you!  Even if you don’t know if you want to play with us or not, come on by and introduce yourself.  We don’t bite.  Much.  And even then, only if you ask us nicely.

To find us, come to irc.blackcobalt.net and join #tsg_ooc (our out of character chat channel).  If you need further instructions to get into IRC, there are posts on the message boards.  Or if you’re shy about IRC or catch us on an off time, that’s okay, just check out the dragon age rp message boards.  Sign up and you’ll be able to post, so introduce yourself and we will say hello and answer any questions you may have.

When you say roleplay, what exactly do you mean?

We are a group of online roleplayers who write within the Dragon Age universe. We don’t use the official Dragon Age pen and paper setting, rather we are freeform roleplayers. There are no dice rolls or character sheets required, though occasionally both may be used.

Okay, so if there aren’t dice or stats, what do you do?

Freeform roleplay or RP is essentially collaborative writing. We create characters with rich histories who interact with each other in a pre-made setting. Our story is influenced by the characters who join it and by plot or story line events that the characters react to. These events can be player created or influenced, introduced by the mods and facilitators or a combination of the two. If you have ideas for plots and events, tell us and we will help you implement them within the RP.

The majority of interaction will take place in our IRC channel on irc.blackcobalt.net in the room #TheSleepingGryphon Most of the interaction in this room should be in character, but out of character talk can be bracketed with parentheses ( ). Out of character discussion and general chit chat will be in #TSG_OOC so come on in and say hello.

We are a very welcoming group and expect to be active during peak times for both the United States and Europe. This RP group is being specifically designed for Dragon Age 2, and we expect to have things starting up within a couple of weeks of release. We look forward to seeing you in The Sleeping Gryphon!

We should be getting into full swing toward the end of March 2011, but we want to meet you now!

Please visit the forums and register to keep track of what we’re doing, set up characters, and meet the current roleplayers that have moved from dragonage origins to the new area.
