How does this sound?

[Hawks]

I hurry into Varrock, my hood conceals my features, but the guards know only a few crazy enough to be out in the dark, damp night. Turning northward, I pass two buildings before stepping onto the porch of the third. I remove my hood, revealing a garish hat and a shaggy head of hair.

 

 

 

The large oaken door invites me in, and as I move to open it, it swings inward, releasing the glow into the night. I step in and hang my cloak on the wall. I notice Archi has left his post tonight, the games must be good.

 

 

 

I hurry back through the shelves, noticing those old scrolls covered in dust, and newer books bound in leather, well-used and loved. The light gets brighter as I walk, and I pause to remove a small notebook from a shelf labeled Hawk. The notebook is brightly colored and sheaves of paper are falling out I should get a new one soon.

 

 

 

From a pocket in my tunic I reveal a small bag. I sit down at the large table, across from where I notice Archi watching and waiting. I deposit the contents on the table with a clatter. Ive carried my special dice and miniature from my home in Falador. I realize that Archi is Gamesmaster tonight, and grin with anticipation. My friends sit around the table and have similar things spread out in front of them.

 

 

 

Twas a dark and dreary night, not unlike tonight, Archi began, and with a wave of his hand extinguished all of the candles but those dripping wax onto the table. I saw another group farther away; it must have been the zombie role-players.

 

 

 

Who would like to start? The night has fallen, and it is high time to begin. Although, here in Rusco, it is early day. Hawk and Wizz, you are together and Hawk is finally conscious. The rest of you have been here more recently and should be acquainted with your players position.

 

 

 

Ill start, is that good, Wizz? I say.

 

 

 

Yeah, were in the forest area right there, Wizz says, pointing to a few squares on the map. I place my miniature on the square next to Wizz.

 

 

 

Weve got to find others, and get together. I dont know if we have winter here, but if there is, its coming soon. I propose we gather food and not those berries, either.

 

 

 

Ill fish and see if I can find some small animals. We need their hides Wizz adds.

 

 

 

You can complete that task. How long would you like to look and gather food? the Gamesmaster states.

 

 

 

Well look until noon.

 

 

 

Ill get back to you later. Whos next?

 

 

 

In case you were wondering, this is a little taste of what happens in that building I spoke of earlier, the Falador Library. Its a bit strange, as its in Varrock, but named after Falador. Its where we role-players gather and have some fun. Youre welcome to join us, you just need to talk to Archi, whos usually at the front desk.

 

 

 

We have a lot of different role plays, but sadly a lot of our members have given up on their old games, especially after the fire that we lost most of our records in. Wed like some new blood, and if you like to role play (who in Gilenor doesnt?) you should come visit us. Even if you dont want to run a game, weve got plenty just waiting for avid players.

 

 

 

The other game I was talking about, the zombie one, is pretty interesting. We seem to have an obsession with zombies Anyway, the game is called Zombea, and its essentially you fighting for your survival against the zombies. Its a lot more fun than it sounds, and the players get really in depth. Its the most popular after Rusco, which Ill get to in a minute.

 

 

 

There are a large variety of role-plays held within the Falador Library. Most are your traditional fantasy/medieval role-plays. We also have a sci-fi one, a couple of modern-day mafia types, and a few others that I neglect to mention. Theres also the opportunity to gather a group of people and create a whole new role-play.

 

 

 

Rusco is a big story world. Thats the best way I can describe it. Your player is put into a whole new world, and you band together with other players in an open-ended game. People play their characters however they want, so you could be betrayed or helped or possibly even killed. Its a very imaginative place and you can do most anything. When we dont get together and play, you keep a journal of your characters travels and doings. Its an interesting way of doing things and it has worked well so far.

 

 

 

I know my piece is quite short, but I hope Ive helped you understand more about how our little Library works. Come in anytime and browse our archives of stories and characters. Theres a lot to be had in the Library, and wed love to have you. Were a fun loving group, and most anything goes.

 

 

 

Authors Note: It might be a bit confusing I apologize for that in advance. The library I speak of (or rather my character speaks of, which is why its confusing) is the Falador Library, which is in the forums, and can be read by any registered member of the forums. (Its under the Varrock Library, in General Discussions, if you dont frequent that area.) You can join the Library by sending a PM to the moderator in charge (archimage_a), and I highly suggest reading all of our rules/suggestions before joining a role-play. That said, wed love to have you come play!
