Stapler

[fizzybobnewt]

What this is about:This is a freeform-type game I play with my friend who's not on the forums (yet?). It involves creating a group of wildly dysfunctional characters who are not necessarily particularly effective (not unlike OOTS in this way), and playing as them all while, hopefully, maintaining their own personalities and sometimes their own agendas. The game is more about fun than winning, even more so than many RPGs, and the laws of logic can bend a little for a good joke.
The rest of this post, and the next, detail the happenings of the original game, the example game you could say. If this sounds fun, I'm looking to start another game, on the forums. Here it is. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9774551#post9774551) It's open to about 1-7 players. I will GM unless someone else wants to.

The story so far:
Each sequence of events is spoilered according to which characters are involved.

Intro
Our heroes are the company Hero for Hire. They get paid to solve more or less any problem for the buyer, as long as it's the kind of thing that would be fun in an RPG. Their newest mission is to destroy the worldwide corporation MegaGlomeCorp. The setting is generally a mix of any genres you can think of. We know so far that it contains magic and the Hero for Hire warehouse is in a modern-theme city.

Fred, Vlad, Ling, Stapler
Fred and Vlad bluff their way to the top floor of the MGC office across the street, where they try to hack into a random computer they find. Soon, Ling and Stapler join them, each beating up the receptionist to avoid any tricky questions. After 3 incorrect passwords on the computer, it shuts down, announcing "Huggables released."

Vlad
Vlad slides down the side of the building with the new shiny lamp he found, off to add it to his secret stash.

Fred, Ling, Stapler, 'Mushroom
Suddenly, a pink bear (not a teddy bear, a real, normal pink bear) rips the door off it's hinges and attacks. Stapler hands out staple guns to everyone, though Ling rejects his, claiming he does not need office supplies to fight. The bear is winning until 'Mushroom shows up and decapitates the "Huggable" with his lightsabers.

Seventh Period, Honda Civic
Meanwhile, Seventh tries to teleport to the roof of the MGC building, but ends up a little too far to the left. Falling, he casts "feather fall" and accidentally turns himself into a feather. Honda brings the feather to the nearest wizard bar, hoping to find someone who will unfeather Seventh.
