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.

Not quite sure - I play characters by 'ear'.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Hey Stormy,

Can we divorce ourselves from the mass of faceless PCs behind Thraim, Semina, Snorri, and Naren and continue on with the just the four of us? :)

I am finding it hard to be immersed knowing that there are like 4-6 other characters along with ours, but that they don't contribute anything at all to the story or events.

Maybe you could kill them off one-by-one with traps, surprise attacks, etc.  Or they could decide to split off on their own and investigate for an exit from Château Amber. ;)

Yeah, for all intents and purposes, I haven't been really considering them as part of the group anyway.  Had a couple of nibbles for some additional players, but I haven't really been thinking they were around anyway.  Some transporter accident or something on the way over to Castle Amber.  :)

If someone decides to join up later, they can use one of the pseudo-NPCs if they don't want to roll up one from scratch.

hehehe...ah, the tried and true 'Transporter accident' method.:)  That's cool, so it won't be a big shock to our PCs if someone shows up in another part of the mansion and grounds.

Going warp speed between the dimensions makes transport difficult.  ;)

Hey guys...just wanted to ralley up the group and see what direction we want to head once Naren has memorized his spell and Semina's sight is back in order.  Now that we are back in the foyer, where do we go from here?  Still looking for the Prince or finding a way out.  I am trying not to post in IC for OCC questions.
1,150 things Mr. Welch can no longer do during an RPG

390. My character\'s background must be more indepth than a montage of Queen lyrics.

629. Just because they are all into rock, metal and axes, dwarves are not all headbangers.

702. The Banana of Disarming is not a real magic item.

1059. Even if the villain is Lawful Evil, slapping a cease and desist order on him isn't going to work

Well, Thraim wants to find an exit from the mansion, or someone to throttle for it.  Either way, we need to back in and explore some more.  I've played this module before, and we've barely gotten into the "good stuff."  LOL

Don't worry Stormy, my lips are sealed!

Yes, all the good stuff lies ahead.

So, if I want to join the game, I have to choose one of the available characters among:

Halfling Druid
Half-Elven Magic-User
Elven Thief
Elven Ranger/Magic User
Half-Orc Cleric/Assassin
Human Fighter

Correct?
Or may I create my own character?

You can create your own, but these are the characters that started out from the beginning.  It would be a bit easier to integrate them back in, but I won't automatically shut down a new character if none of those suit.

Alright. I can modify the psychology/non-mechanical aspects of the pregen if I want to?
What does the group need? Seems like a Cleric at the moment. That'd point towards the Half Orc Cleric/Assassin.

Yeah, go ahead and change the character to your liking.  Looks like Kord's Boon has the Human Cleric, but if you are so inclined, you are more than welcome to run the Assassin/Cleric.

Oh. I didn't notice Kord's Boon's character! My bad.
Well, the HO Cleric/Assassin would be a nice back-up for both Thief and Cleric.
