Hi everyone!

The Chanters' Board is an up-and-coming roleplaying site set in the second act of Dragon Age II. We are gathering up a decent base of users already, but we could always use more roleplayers! If you're interested in joining us, please visit our site and read over the rules. Roleplaying in the main forums is open as of today, so if your biography is approved, you can get to posting!

We are aware that our icons are still Assassin's Creed themed, based on the style we used for the boards, but that will be changing this week. One of our more artistically-inclined players is creating us a custom set of icons.

Thanks for reading, and we hope to see you there!

Wow, what a week it's been!

Since first posting this thread, we've really boomed in population. We now have 54 active, talented players and over 1400 posts, and we're still growing! If you think you'd fit in well in our community, please drop on by. Our main page is also up and serves as a map of what's going on in our RP:

Thanks everyone for joining!

[Crimea River]

This RP is dangerously addictive. xD

[InevitableTaxes]

I'm glad you're having a good time! It seems to be developing well. Cheers for RP!

[thegrimfandango]

I have never done this type of activity exactly before, but I am intrigued. Will I be ok?

[Crimea River]

I'm sure you'll do great, grimfandango. I'm Canus on there (big surprise? Not rly. x3)

We'd certainly be happy to have you! If you are new to forum RP (or RP in general), however, I'd recommend that you read over our rules and the FAQ prior to joining. If you find our guidelines acceptable, lurk for a while; read the posts and familiariz yourself with the setting, then start thinking of a character.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop by our IRC channel or give me (The Maker) a ping on the boards.

Thanks, I am really busy with revision at the moment , so I wouldn't have time for anything other than a bit of lurking. I am new to forum RP, and have never done pen & paper RP (by the time I stopped living in the back-end of nowhere I was too selfconscious) but I am familiar with the ideas and how it works. I'll hang around for a while before deciding if my creative writing is up to scratch . It's unfortunate werewolves are locked out of their human form, and shapeshifters have to be mages in DA lore, that would have been fun to play.

[InevitableTaxes]

We are pretty strict on "exemplary" characters like that, regardless. Werewolves are currently locked out because we already have one, and we don't want these unusual/rare character types to flood the population.

A good tip for coming up with a character is to just make the character's personality and occupation interesting. Your character doesn't have to be something unusual to be compelling - hell, most of our players are commoners, but their personalities shine through and make them intriguing. A blacksmith who is ill from breathing in smoke constantly, for example, is an unusual concept and a good place to start for making a character that has a "normal" existence, but an interesting hook.

[Crimea River]

Mm, and even if you still need to "temper the muse," there's still the ledgers, a perfect way to get into your character's personality and outlook prior to actually roleplaying as him or her. That's how it was with my, character, Canus -- I was engaged a lot in the ledgers before I started RPing as him. (Holy cow, I have a lot of posts, lol. Chanter's Board is addictive, like coffee).

[InevitableTaxes]

The Ledgers are, if I may say so myself, a pretty good way of developing your character and getting a "feel" for their voice. I've used them to help me with all three of my characters so far before bringing them out into the in-person RP threads.

We just passed 2000 posts today, by the way! Congrats to CD for snagging the 2k!

hmm... i wonder if this is something i could get into. i've never done the "commoner" approach to RPing. (hell i've never RP'd outside of Dragonage type console games) so all my exposure has been "Hero of Fereldan/Champion of Kirkwall/other Epic Deed of Epicness". now obviously i cant be the Hero (or anyone of real authority) in this kind of community. but is it possible to assume the role of a Templar Knight, a Blood Mage, or an Antivan Crow? or something of the like. not just a merchant or a smith?

It is, yes. We have a handful of templars and apostates/blood mages, but we'd rather people avoid Antivan Crows due to their prestige and association with canon. That doesn't mean you can't create your own organizations, though. For example, one of my characters, Cencio, is an assassin, and I simply created an organization (The Black Hand - props to those that get it) that he belongs to instead of having him be a part of the Crows.

We do also keep a closer eye on people in positions of power, as there's more chance for abuse, and generally make people work for special things such as prestige classes etc.

so its an entire guild of Maleficarum correct? xD

or are we thinking of 2 different Black Hands?

[InevitableTaxes]

I think we're thinking of different ones, it's a historical reference.

[Oreowen]

ahh, i was totally thinking of a quest from DA:O in which the reward was a pair of gloves called "Black Hand Gauntlets" xD
