The Burning Sands [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
Ah, to live in a world of limitless possibility, where excellence reaches potential far beyond that of mundane aspirations, and aptitude aspires to deitific proportion, all at the impetus of will. The key element, in The Untamed Wilds gaming system, that separates the player character from the mass of existence is the talent to Manipulate Waylines (use magic), usually called Bending. It is the substance of faith, folklore, myth, and legend; but to those who can feel and warp the invisible waves, it is an integral part of life.
No one in at least a generation has seen The Oracle from a nearness that would allow his identification, only his voice is truly known. He must be old, very old. The elders remember that voice from when even they were younger. From the high desert on the top of a ravine, the Oracle always appears at the same perch, overlooking several established clans. He always begins by holding his staff above his head and gripping its headstone in his left hand. He then inverts the staff and slams the stone onto the ground three times. Each strikes sounds like the peal of a giant gong. He then says, in a voice that carries far greater than one would imagine, "Let all who have ears hear the words of the Gods!"

A fuller description of the rules will be available within the actual gaming thread.
Primarily, players will want to decide between three Archetypes: Combatant, Internalist, and Intellectual.Combatants are physically superior characters who rely on equipment and technology to engage in any given situation or dilemma.
Internalist are usually a balance between Mind and Body but use magic to enhance themselves.
Intellectuals are mentally superior characters who use technology or magic to affect others.
Next players choose a description for their characters which can modify statistics. There are 3 species of people. None is disadvantaged, but each has a particular initial advantage.
Starting equipment is initially the same for every character and task mechanics will be fully explained in a separate thread inside the actual game and when needed or in question.
If you happen to like any of the following movies, you should like this scenario: 10,000BC, Apocalypto, Beastmaster, Clash of the Titans, Conan the Barbarian, Egyptian Gods, or most especially the series Romulus. If none of these appeal to you, this will likely not be your thing.
