Okay, so it's time for me to plug my RP that I just made. Hopefully I can drag a few people from here into it, since it isn't about fuzzy lil monsters this time.
In short, you get a character who is an avatar of a god, who is in a big ol' city with a ton of other avatars, all trying to kill each other to be the only team left standing. Of course, there are all sorts of caveats to that, but that's the essential idea. You get to design awesome kick a** weapons that do magical stuff, are huge, and did I say awesome? Then, you fight, and it's all good. The theme? Kick a** and look cool doing it. Seriously.
Of course, there is a much more in depth explanation, but i'm not gonna repeat it, you can look in the guild itself. If you enjoy combat. and feel your RP needs more of it, like making fantastimical weapons that are over the top, or enjoy competition, you at the very least owe it to yourself to check it out.
