The Menagerie play by post RPG would like to thank both Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson for their Dungeons & Dragons role playing game. They made the world that much more fantastic.
Name:Diegis Nicolaescu Race:Human Age:25 Physical Description: Diegis is six feet tall with no body fat anywhere on his frame. He keeps himself in excellent physical condition by running, swimming and daily calisthenics. He has blue/gray eyes and black hair. His skin is not sallow or dark; instead he usually carries a healthy tan. Besides fits of temper in his younger days he is as a rule of good humor. He enjoys a challenge and has a tendency to be a bit of a show-off when it comes to favorite pursuits. Diegis lives life to the fullest, very aware that his next moment might be his last.
Main Weapons: Joachim's Harpoon The very harpoon wielded by the notorious fisherman, it was retired later in his life when he turned his passion to conserving the creatures of the deep.

Rend - Deals aggravated damage to any mundane being of flesh and bone. Does not ignore armor. Direction - The harpoon will always point to nautical north, upon the user's command.

Ok. Sorry about the delay here. For your going above and beyond (as always) and for the inconvenience of my dragging my ass, I am awarding you 10 Acclaim. The harbor mistress was at least nice enough to reward you as well, as she's going to come out ahead and as she may have mentioned, it might be time she looks at starting up a quaint farm somewhere. She pays you some 50 gold pieces and removes a somewhat unique looking harpoon from the wall.
What was an ornamental object, appears to have been quite purpose built on closer inspection. It's certainly not mundane, either. (I'll leave you to find a picture of your choosing.)
Joachim's Harpoon The very harpoon wielded by the notorious fisherman, it was retired later in his life when he turned his passion to conserving the creatures of the deep. Whilst few think to enchant a harpoon, it's design makes it a deadly spear when wielded in combat, with a cruel gaffing hook to injure when drawing it's length back. - Polearm. - Unique item. - Deals aggravated damage to any mundane being of flesh and bone. Does not ignore armor. - The harpoon will always point to nautical north, upon the user's command. - The harpoon will always point to the nearest, large body of water, upon the user's command.

Welcome to The Menagerie. We are a free role playing game with less rules and more freedom. After many years, a couple of hosts and a few different game systems, we feel that less is more. Players get to be truly creative, which in turn leads to more enjoyment in game.
We invite you to join us in crafting our world and look forward to making friends. Should you have any questions, feel free to post in our chat box or ask any of our members or staff.
May you enjoy your stay.
It must be said that this game is the product of continued dedication and friendship.
Grayell: Game inventor and closet basement geek.
Yukiko: Admin and dream-weaver.
Marlena: Admin and promoter extraordinaire.
The Menagerie has enjoyed many incarnations, revamps, reimaginings and renovations and none of it would have been possible without the ongoing support of my friends, the players. Their unwavering loyalty and endless dedication to this project has been stellar.
I would like to thank all admin and staff past and present, in particular Tiberius.
I would like to thank friends and staff no longer with us, and to the few I hold most dear: John, Roland, Alex, Azriel and Jenkins.
Thank you all.
