This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

[Interest] D&D 5e, RAW Basic. Boomtown, open table.

Just make your fuckin\' guy and roll the dice, you pricks. Focus on what\'s interesting, not what gives you the biggest randomly generated virtual penis.  -- J Arcane
 
You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

OK, I got 6, 15, 15, 15, 11 and 11.

Are those the final scores or can I adjust them?

Opaopajr

(Ooh! Lucky! You got a line with a 7 and a 4! But alright... :()

You get to arrange the scores to taste, as per RAW. Your race and sub-race will adjust them further. And as mentioned before, you may use the Standard Array instead — also arranged to taste.

Psst, pro-tip: count how many odd numbered ability scores you have, and if you feel you have critical mass, I'd recommend Human race. :D

Gah! DEX before STR, it blinds! :(

Your background also gives you a crowbar. That means you got two!, because burglar's kit provides another. Double wieldin' improvised weapons... :)

I'll reformat later for consistency and then we can copy-paste for the IC topic when we come to it. Feel free to brainstorm reasons why you are at the boomtown. I'll answer any questions about locale, whether you want to be a drifter or embedded, etc.

Ok, we'll continue on. Congrats, you are alone so I can incorporate you into the current group! However, I want your character sheet integrated at the beginning of IC topic for easy reference.

So I'm going to resolve the last two players' scene — that of the Mystery of the Grim Man. After that, and they go to bed, all player characters will be at rest and we can restart the topic afresh. I will do IC Livonia's Lament pt. 2 topic: I'll post a few location core posts, leave space for all 6 of you to re/post your character sheets, and I'll finish that with starting locales and a situation recap.

Hopefully they will wrap up soon and then we can whisk you in smooth. :D
