This is basically the same game as the one that has been running for quite a while, but it will be all official material, no house rules or non-rulebook sources of any kind, and I may enforce mandatory characters if things get too far out of hand (TRF has said that things were getting carried away in the other game). I also want chracter and OOC dialouge to be better managed, in other words don't fill this game up with a bunch of meaningless chatter (If all you want to do is talk about something, do it in the other game). New players are always welcome, and in fact encouraged, even if you don't own any of the books or know any of the rules. If any new players want to join, see the other game for rules, give me a race and class, and I will take care of the rest. As soon as at least 4 characters are made, this game will begin. The module I am using is a DCC, known as "The Black Pearl" (and I don't mean the ship from Pirates of the Caribbean)
He sighs and sits back in his chair. M: "When I took office, the people were poor, overtaxed and violent.I have solved all of their problems, built up the largest discretionary fund in the century and the people love me. If they lose their entertainment, that will all fall away. I will not let that happen!"
M: "Such as.......??? Remember, your life kind of depends on this."
"The Olympics," Cassio says. "Hold an open contest in the arena, for sports and stuff. Offer a 500 gold reward or something like that, and charge a 50 gold admission into the contest. Winner gets the 500 gold, losers walk away with 50 gold, you know who's powerful enough to be dangerous just in case, the people are entertained, and you make a good amount of money."

M: "What of these Olympics? Madam, you are truly demented."
"You hold a national event, open to anyone who wants to join and can pay the admission, and free for anyone who wants to watch. There would be different events like sprinting, swimming, swordfighting, archery, wrestling, boxing, jumping, climbing, etc. And like I said, you offer a reward, but charge admission into the contest. If you offer 500 gold and charge 50 gold to join, it will only take 10 people joining for you to make your money back, and far more than 10 people will join. You'd know who could be potentially dangerous, you'd be wealthier, the commoners would be entertained."
