h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Fair enough.... There was a head in Elysium earlier...

I saw. You really should get your players under control or everyone will be slaughtered by the bad guys within a week. This starts far too dramatically. You should start it more slowly.
And in my opinion it would be nice to have a bit more descriptions about what places look like or so. Right now it's all undefined, that's a bit sad. Things like that give the story some depth. Also noone seems to have a home or so.

Well characters can get their own homes if they want to. I will post a full description of Elysium soon

good
I find such things neccessary for a good game. But noone in this rpg ever seems to describe games. They all just meet *somewhere*, not in any specific places. I also have no idea what this city looks like. There are many kinds of cities.

I'm not that great at description, but I'll try

Do that, please. It really gives more realism if we all know where we are. If you like I can help you. I'm quite good in descriptions... at least that's what people always tell me.

Sure, help is always appreciated. The Elysium is a lot like a typical town hall with a bar at one end. There is a dais at the other with a chair for the Prince, there are several private meeting rooms.

The city is quite large. It is very modern with everything a modern city has. It's main features are factories that make steel goods and a huge library made from a converted church in the middle of an overgrown graveyard.
There is a central fountain in te main town city that people often meet at

Ok... stone floor, I guess?

And does the city has a historical center or is it more like an American city? Which means also: did it grow naturally from the middle ages, or was it planned some time in the 18th or 19th Century or even later?

I don't know, I'm really not good at this.

I would guess older as a city probably

not a good start for writing a story

Ok... so then... I'd put the elysium into a post of the prince... I'll write something and then post it here, will take a few minutes.

Alright then, sorry I'm not much good at description. I'm all nervous now

don't be nervous

Sorry I get nervous easily

so am I

the first one's done soon

here we go:

Prince Tijerius walks up the stairs to the Elysium and opens the huge old wooden doors. They give way without making any sound and the prince steps into the hallway, his steps sounding loud on the marble floor. He passes the watchmen who take other people’s weapons – he is the prince, they have no reason to keep him from his business.
The prince looks down one of the high corridors. The door to one of the meeting rooms just closes. He remembers who may be in there and turns to walk up the central staircase to the main hall, shortly looking at one of the carved animals on the marble banister.

Tijerius reaches the top of the stairs and opens the door to the main hall. He passes the elegant bar, greeting one of the people who are sitting on the couches and bar stools. The many small lights are reflected by the polished stone floor and the stairs up to the prince’s throne. He sits down and watches the room…

That's brilliant

it'll have to wait for the next time he leaves and comes back though

glad that you like it

Use it whenever you want. I now try to think of a description for the city.
