How it all Works!

Don't know what RPG stands for. That's okay, we do.

Have a question? Write us and we'll put it up with the answer as well as email you in return.  However, once enough of the same questions get asked, we will put up a Frequently Asked page.  At that point, we will only ask that you read it.

However, here is one question that gets answered right off the bat!  What is RPG?  Well, it stands for - Role Playing Game.  That's what this entire Holt is all about.  Playing!  Having Fun! Enjoying ourselves! 

Now, you are probably wondering, 'How does it work, here?'.  Simple.  The Person in charge of the Adventure, also called the Game Master, comes up with an Adventure relevant to the Game Rules and Theme chosen ahead of time.  In this case, we are using the Official Elfquest RPG Rules put out by Chaosim Inc.

You, the Player, have adopted an elf from the Everwood Holt Tribe in order to participate in the game. In other words-You have an elf that you get to play!  The Game Master comes up with an adventure that you play your elf through.

But 'How do you play?' you ask. Another good question.  If you are already familiar with the rules mentioned above, you can keep up with your own elf's skills sheet or you can leave it to the Game Master (GM) to keep up with.  Doesn't matter either way.

Anyway, you get an email from the Game Master giving you the run down on the beginning of the adventure and you send a reply back letting him know what you want you elf to attempt to do. The GM runs through any die rolls needed and lets you know what was successful ...or not. This repeats till the adventure is completed!  Very simple!

Bonuses?  Okay, I admit, your elf wont increase in levels like the D&D game Characters.  But, that doesn't mean that your elf doesn't improve!  Your adopted elf has skills in either Magic or in other areas.  Whenever these skills are challenged, your elf can then receive an increase in them. 

Want to know more?  Then ... Let's Play!
