you wake up in a fairly normal-looking place. around you is what looks to be a farm. in all other directions are massive cliff faces preventing you from going anywhere but the farm.

is this thing working? testing testing 1, 2, 3. I don't have much time. i will try and establish a more secure communications with you later. for now all I can tell you is- *beep* end of communication *in a robotic voice*

@The Stormfather feel free to veto anything.

No, this is all good. 

What's going on? This... Who are these people? Wait.. this could work... It's not what they expected, but it could still get us some cash.

In the farm you can see large expanses of grain and wheat, along with a huge field for cows. There is also a large, very large solid steel coop for chickens, one that looks nearly like a bunker of some kind, yet the front of it faces you and you can see the chickens. (You might not know what a chicken is, depending.) There is a sign on the chicken coop that is too far away to read. Below the cliffs on all other sides there are crashing waves of the ocean, with a near two-hundred foot drop down to it. You can see, off in the distance, the sails of ships out on the ocean, but you do not see any modern or high-tech ships with steam engines or whatever futuristic engines are powered by. Only sails.

"wow are you ok? is that safe to eat?"

'No idea. Doesn't taste too bad, so I'm eating it. Better than that octopus."

Anything else to add because I feel like there's probably more stuff on this character sheet: Can't read. Not the smartest person out there

Here is my 100% original character

Yup, 100% original. I assume he has terrible aim?

Mark looks around himself, hunger gnawing at him. His stomach growls, and he grabs the nearest grasses and bite down on them. Hunger is destroying him. He stumbles through the quaking earth and falls over beside a pile of vines. He grabs one biting down on it, grabs a few more, munching down on them. This might kill me, but at least I won't starve. He grabs a few more, eating them. Weird spore-vines. Wonder what planet these are from. He stumbles to his feet, grabbing a few more large vines and crunching into them, he walked towards Roy and Lucian(I hope I got the name right.), so, towards the casino.

It's working. It's going to happen. Please, work... We've spent too long on this project. Oh! Quick, flip off the generator! Something's going wrong!

Boom.

@Part Of The Narrative @AltonicKeys @RoyalBeeMage

Yay!

Fill in the character sheet with whatever character you plan on using, and then we can start soon.

He quickly starts running to the casino

Mark chases after Lucian. He tries to burn brass, but realizes he doesn't have any left. "Wait! Help!" Mark grabs Roy's wrist and begins pulling him towards the casino. 

No. Not the earth. Not again. I can't see more dead, dropped down into dark shafts... Tears fill Mark's eyes. Eltre. I can't see you die again.

@RoyalBeeMage

What are your thoughts on chickens?

It immediately releases.

"Thank preservation!" Mark soothes it one last time before his brass runs out and runs away. "Roy, lets get out of this octopi-infested land!" @RoyalBeeMage

It seems more resilient this time, and refuses to let go. It’s gripping so hard it begins to bruise Mark’s leg. 

@The Stormfather

You've got to be kidding me. He flares brass and tries to soothe it.

Mark continues tearing up plants looking for root vegetables or tubers.

“Let’s get out of here!”

“Don’t mention it. Let’s find a fire so we can cook this thing.”

"Well, it's not dead, so we may have an issue. Is there anything else we can eat? The trees? The grass? The vines?" He unknowingly just gave himself the idea for his salvation, but he doesn't know that verdant is edible. 
"Here, lets go back to it from far away and try to throw things at it to kill it." Mark picks up a small rock and hurl it at the octopus. @Edema Rue

Yes, he pops free with a loud squelch.

"Thanks, Roy." Mark sighs in relief before scrambling away from the mud octopus. (What the trell is this thing?) @RoyalBeeMage

I am planning a party, and I would like to employ a murder mystery game. I have played several that I have found online in the past, but this time, I want to try a murder mystery party set in the cosmere and I could not find one online. 

When I say murder mystery party, I mean a group of people gathers and are each given a character to role play that plays a part in the mystery. The players go into the party with a knowledge of their character’s history, relationships, and secrets, as well as a list of goals to accomplish during the night. These goals may be vital to the story or completely tangential. For example, some goals may be: exchanging stories of adventure with friends, hounding an acquaintance about unpaid debts, or uncovering a suspected affair. Through interaction, examination, and deduction, the players will solve the mystery over the course of the night. 

I would write such a cosmere murder mystery myself, yet it wouldn’t be ideal to know the end result as a player. And so:

Is there anyone interested in writing murder mystery party (or changing around the details in an existing game to make it set in the cosmere) for me and my friends to play? I would also write a game for you and your friends to play in exchange. That way, we could both have a cosmere-themed party that was still a mystery for us.

I would want a game with room for 12-15 players. Mature topics could be alluded to, but preferably nothing too graphic. I would want to have it ready by June 15th, but if that’s not possbile it would be great to have a cosmere murder mystery in my back pocket for later anyways. Thank you to anyone who read this far, even if this project isn’t for you!

I can make a valiant effort, but I've never wrote a murder mystery of any kind before, especially not one in the cosmere. I'd be happy to write one for you, could you maybe outline your main expectations? 12-15 characters that I make, a murder mystery and some kind of rules of gameplay for it? Kind of role-playing? I'm not really sure how murder mystery games work but I can certainly try!

With Roy and Mark now working together to pull Mark free of the mud octopus, does he get free?

Roy is near me, and ally, probably about 20ish feet away. I think they just haven't been online yet. 

@RoyalBeeMage Mark is getting attacked by a mud octopus and yelling for help.

It doesn’t work, and after a little longer of flailing, it tries to pull him into the mud.

He grasps for a stick or a rock to hit the mud octopus with. He struggles and tries to plant his feet in a way that the pulling will be slowed. He almost shouts for help, but realizes that in the hunger games, that would be not very smart. "Let go, you stupid fish." (He barely recognizes it as an octopus.) "Let. Go. Stupid. Fish."

This is a new RP idea I came up with completely on a whim.

Basically, there's a group of characters who find themselves in a random place that they don't recognize. This place could have magic, be futuristic, or anything. After a while, they teleport into another random place. The characters have no idea what's going on, they just keep teleporting. That's the main plot, but (because it would be boring if there wasn't) There's going to be some elaborate mysteries and conspiracies because why not.

Another thing, the characters can be from many time period and any world, can be magical (Don't go too OP, but can be powerful,) and can even have stuff you invented! They appear with only clothes and some basic supplies, such as a wand for a wizard, armor for a knight, laser gun for a futuristic soldier, etc...

They can be related or know each other, or not. The basis of this part is to have funny interactions between victorian era kinghts and something akin to stormtroopers. (That seems hilarious.)

Character sheet : 

Anyone who wants to help run this RP, PM me. For what the side plots are going to be like, having two GM's would make it much more fun.

I can't think of anything else to add...

Beware of violence that will probably occur. 

remember, your characters have no idea what's going on, they just appeared. (Another thing, they don't remember perfectly what happened right before, but remember most things perfectly, just not the 10 minutes before the teleportation.)

I think I'll start the actual Rping on June 2nd, for about a  week of sign-ups? People can join after it starts as well.

(You'll probably teleport around 1-2 times a week, depending on how fast it goes.)

It tastes absolutely foul, though there’s no way of knowing if it’s because 

A, it’s covered in mud.

B, it’s uncooked.

C, it’s still alive?! Maybe think about that before trying to eat something?!

Or D, it’s actively trying to kill him.

To be fair, Mark hasn't eaten. He's REALLY hungry.

Mark grabs the tentacle and tries to wriggle himself free.
