Hello everypony and non-ponies~!
Tis the fabulous Heartstring, your technical support Admin, guess what I finished the first campaign and it's read to go live for you guys! Now I did the difficult part, so all that's left now is to open up the sign ups to you all.
Given this first game is going to be a sort of a test run and depending upon the reaction's that happen after this first campaign will decide whether I will build more or not. Anyways onto the sign up~!
This first Campaign was something I had long since written, so it shall be a Zelda-based one. ( Key thing; if you don't know ask. <= Always ask if you don't know ) Though this is not the FULL Zelda campaign, you all will just be going through the first dungeon, The Forest Shrine.
For this your characters will be completely custom, so just for this run, no ponies, instead you have almost free reign to pick from these races; For more info on the races, look here;
http://zeldawiki.org/Category:RacesZora ( Can breath underwater, extremely fast swimmers can move double the distance underwater.)
Goron (Immune to lava, doesn't need to breath underwater, eats minerals and gains health from it (1/4 health recovered. Can hit for half heart per strike. Can curl up into a ball and become immune to damage as the sacrifice of their turn.)
Gerudo (Female's only. Added heat resistance. Has great sense of direction ( especially in the desert) Can roll twice for reflex saves.[keep the higher number of the two rolls] )
Sheikah (Fast and quick, can see through illusions. Can move 40ft instead. )
Deku (vulnerable to fire. Can fire deku nuts from their mouths like cannons. It fires up to 40ft.)
Octorok (vulnerable to lightning and ice. Can stick to walls, immune to sudden slip-and-falls.(unless you know, like the floor literally disappears underneath you, but if it's like a pit-fall trap, you can cling to the trap door as it drops and just climb up vertically. This is highly situational.) Can fire rocks from their mouths at a distance of 40ft.)
Hylian ( Has magic, starts with one free spell. Starts with 1 hearts worth of MP )
Round-ear human. (Can't use magic. Starts with two extra hearts.)

Simple Rules:
Heart is DM, whatever i say goes.
Pull a child tantrum and you're immediately booted.
Have fun.
Work together.
1 character per person
You can start with 1 weapon. (No guns. think medieval kind of gear.)
Everyone starts with 3 heart containers, unless your race states otherwise. I prefer no multiples of the same race.
No one starts with magic, unless your race says otherwise.
Everyone has a "hammer space" for extra items and gear that are found in dungeon.
All attacks hit 1/4 heart, unless stated otherwise.
All mini-boss hit 1/2 hear per hit.
All Boss's hit 1 heart per hit.
Max distance everyone can move is 30ft, unless stated otherwise.
Unarmed and Armed attack: 5ft
Ranged Arms: 30ft
Magic attack: 30ft If any rolls should be involved a simple roll of a 1d10 will suffice, if you roll a 6 or higher you pass, 5 or lower you fail. Nat 1 has terrible consequences. Unless stated otherwise, we'll only use 1d10 for our rolls.

Depending on how many people, I may limit the amount of people in this campaign and split it into two game sessions instead of one so that way everyone has a chance to play.
When signing up, make a mini sheet, doesn't need to be descriptive.

Now for the story~!

In the middle of winter in the dead of night, that menacing voice echoed far. This man, this... devil of a man who brought nothing, but chaos to the land of Hyrule. That night was also the last time I've seen him in these lands, but I'm certain he's still around. Biding his time.
Link and Ganondorf were in battle. Link held Ganondorf off with the Master sword fighting with everything he has. The battle waged on for hours and neither side were letting up and Hyrule field was being torn asunder.
I was so certain Link was going to win, but then something happened, something horribly wrong. I couldn't tell what it was, but Link was disarmed and skewered through and sent soaring through the air.
With a loud, triumphant, roar Ganondorf won, but he wanted to make certain that there was no way Link could ever come back. The evil energy that radiated from him, he chanted a spell of which I've never heard of. When the spell came in contact to swallow Link, something happened, I don't know what, maybe by the grace of our goddess, Hylia, Link was saved. The energy swallowed him, but seemed to have multiplied and swallowed Ganondorf along with it and then an explosion.
Once the explosion subsided there was a huge crater left behind with only Link in the center of it unconscious and the wound that he had gotten was miraculously healed.
This was good our Hero was alive.....
...but....
He did not wake.
The mark he bared upon his hand. The Triforce of courage looked stained and fractured. Only but a glimmer left. Several gold pieces rested on the ground around him and after moments began to float and circle around Link's body. A golden opaque sphere surrounded our hero and the fragments flew off in random directions.
Our hero lives, but he's does not wake.
~~~
Winter came and went, no changes with the Hero of Time. Princess Zelda had Link's body moved to the Temple of Time and has the Master Sword returned to the Temple as well back into it's slot it went and the door's closed on the Temple of Time.
Princess Zelda visited the Temple everyday in hopes that she could wake the sleeping Hero. While Ganondorf hadn't shown his face, the fear that he would strike at anytime was something to worry about, no one knew what happened to him.
As winter ended Spring rolled in. Hyrule was in a state of peace, even though the Hero slept. Zelda grew impatient as she began to implement plans of defense against Ganondorf. Increased security and a curfew set into place. Hyrule was under a watchful gaze, though this small change didn't disturb the lives of the people of Castle Town they still went about their business.
It wasn't until the middle of Spring arrived and Princess Zelda was visited by a creature. A creature that was known as a Remlit, a animal that roamed the fields of Hyrule, but this creature wasn't a real Remlit. As it turns out this creature was actually the sliver of the Triforce of Courage that stayed attached to Link, keeping him alive.
"Princess Zelda..." This creature spoke, it's voice echoed out to her with a soft and gentle voice. "The Hero of Time must awaken. We must gather my sleeping brethren and unite as one once more. Send out a call, gather those the Hero has helped. Call in for their assistance for it is time that this Hero gets saved. We must hurry! The Triforce of Power is recovering and the Great evil will resurrect." This creature's eyes glowed gold and within it's eyes the Triforce glowed.
A day later letters sent out to all the provinces; Ordona, Faron, Eldin, Lanayru, Desert, Peak, City in the Sky, and even the Twilight Realm. A spell had been placed upon the letters so that they would only reach the hands of those friends which Link has helped and would burn upon being read.
