I am looking for a group 4-6 players in a homebrew fantasy PbP game. Welcome to the world of Clichéa Can the heroes succeed in destroying the dark lord before his amassed armies overrun the lands.The rules are simple and the game will be played on RPoL. You will have freedom to determine large aspects of the world such as the history of your birthplace and your race. Character creation is simple and rolls will mostly be based on character archetype and personal background story. There will be lots of tropes, and clichés.

You wake up covered in sweat, the dream felt even more real this time.
Your eyes are tired, your bones ache and you skin feels cold as you stand on the side of the mountain and hear the clamor of battle.
Your friends are with you, hurt and bedraggled but you doubt all of you will reach the journeys end.
"I must travel to River bridge" you hear yourself saying and can't help thinking that the words came unbidden to your tongue.

Wow, this looks fun. I can't at this point, but very interested to see how this goes. Also, this looks like it'd be a GREAT game if it was built similar to Fall of Magic, which all sorts of excellent tropey story cues, such as a "Gathering of a fellowship" cue in the Kingwood Forest, or a "Find an item of great power" cue in the Mountain of Mists. Unlike the base game, there could even be a mechanic to split the party at a specific fork, and then rejoin later.

I'm away from my home group for a few more months, so I was kind of hoping to get into a PbP! Though I don't know how well I'd be able to participate if you're hoping to form a group that can ever get online at the same time, though. I'm in a UTC+8h time zone.
Based on the map, am I safe in assuming you're going for a goofy/lighthearted tone?
Can I ask a clarifying question about your homebrew? Is the setting homebrew? Are the rules homebrew? I'm just wondering if there is any published stuff I can look through.

I'm just wondering if there is any published stuff I can look through. Time zone is no problem, it is the reason for PbP (I am on utc +4). Yes it will not be to serious but might be a bit dark at times (fairytales weren't nice). The setting is generic fantasy; you know that orcs are evil, trolls are dumb, if you save the princess you will get half the kingdom. (the players will have imput on how the world work but not what the NPC's do) The rules are home made but really light Basic rules: If you try to do something your character is good at you roll 4d6 vs. 10. If it's something your character is bad at roll 2d6 vs. 10. If it's something neutral you roll 3d6 vs.10. Example: A Theif roll 4d to climb a tree, an armored Knight rolls 2d. A theif roll 2d to arm wrestle a farmer, an armored knight roll 4d. Conflicts is almost as easy: There are 4 skills - Combat, Mobility, Lore, Speach. You roll 3d6 + skill - opponent skill. If you get <7 you loose, if you get >13 you win.

I don't know if you're recruiting on other sites as well, but I'm in (in case that wasn't clear before).
