Greetings Froods!

You have probably heard that 42 is the meaning of life, but do you know why or its origins? Well it is all thanks to Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the series of novels chronicling the (mis)adventures of an Earthling called Arthur Dent.

Sadly, Douglas passed away in May of 2001 and fans quickly established the first annual “Towel Day” to commemorate his life on May 25. Why a towel?

If you are unfamiliar with the author, his works, or Towel Day, check out this entry in The Hitchhikers Guide (sometimes called “The Guide” or “The Book”) for a quick crash course. Everything you need to know (and more) can be found here.

“The Guide” has the following to say concerning towels: “A towel is the most important item a Hitchhiker can carry…” See The Guide’s entry on towels.

This open role play is to celebrate this year’s Towel Day. This is not an RP Repository officially sanctioned event and is open to anyone. Knowledge of The Hitchhiker’s Guide series is not necessary, but certainly helpful. You are encouraged to check out the links above for a quick tutorial. It is important to note the tone of the series is one of satire and humor. This roleplay is open to any kind of original character (OC). Sci-fi characters are of course encouraged. Players are asked to be respectful of other characters. Anyone who causes problems or makes others uncomfortable is subject to being reported to the site moderators. Since this RP is all ages and in a public forum, please keep language and violence PG. Just be kind and have fun! Please post in character in this thread. If you need to post out of character (as yourself and not your character), please label it with “OOC” to be clear that you are not speaking in character and keep OOC comments brief.

PLEASE PM IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS- THE GAME THREAD IS NOT A PLACE FOR OOC CONVERSATION AND IS DISRUPTIVE TO GAME FLOW. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK IF YOU CAN JOIN.

Please read the first 3 posts before jumping in and posting.

For questions specific to this roleplay, please PM Shinyrainbowlithogra or Agent Milkshake. For RP Repository issues or things not related to this specific RP, please contact an official RPR moderator using the "Request Mod" button.
