Quote from: Benoist;415510So as far as characters go we've got so far (correct me if I'm wrong somewhere):

Nimten, Shoal Elf Magic User (Cranewings)
Friar Otho Stoneshield, Dwarf Cleric (winkingbishop)
Rissthil Tanlithrin, [Shoal Elf?] Fighter/Magic-User/Thief (Drohem)
Runch, Half-Orc Cleric/Thief (skofflox)
Tudd, Half-Orc Fighter (Sigmund)
Ylarum the Doomed, Human Fighter (TheDungeonDelver)

I had "Ulas Xegg."

Gareth Six Fingers
Half-Elf, Thief. Alignment Chaotic Good

Invisible Castle rolls: STR 12 DEX: 16 CON 16 INT 14 WIS 11 CHAR 12 W00t!

HP roll (1d6+2): 5.

I just realized that I could have assigned the rolls differently, but fuck it, they're awesome anyway.

OK, I rolled my stats and HP, got a class and alignment. What else should I be doing? Should I keep a PC sheet or will Benoist keep records?

Updated list:

Gareth Six Fingers, Half-Elf Thief (Imperator)
Nimten, Shoal Elf Magic User (Cranewings)
Friar Otho Stoneshield, Dwarf Cleric (winkingbishop)
Rissthil Tanlithrin, Shoal Elf Fighter/Magic-User/Thief (Drohem)
Runch, Half-Orc Cleric/Thief (skofflox)
Tudd, Half-Orc Fighter (Sigmund)
Ulas Xegg, Human Assassin (Cole)
Ylarum the Doomed, Human Fighter (TheDungeonDelver)

Roll for your starting money, buy some equipment. Send me the complete character via PM for me to have a look.

I'll create a specific thread later for everyone to repost their characters one after the other, so we can access them whenever we want as quickly as possible.

Quote from: Benoist;415304Shoal Elf I suppose?

Oops!  Yes, of course, he's an Shoal Elf.  

Here is a link to his ability scores' rolls.  Here's a link to his starting money roll, starting spells, starting age, and starting hit points.

PM with the character sheet sent.

OK, I'll get to it ASAP.

OK! List of characters above has been updated.

The names reek of AD&D.  I wonder how that works?

I don't understand what you are tying to communicate here.  Could you please elaborate?  

At first blush, it seems to me like you are shitting on us for our name choices.  Usually, you're a reasonable and affable guy so I'm left wondering what you meant by your comment.

I deliberately chose mine to sound "Gygaxian."

"Reeks" technically doesn't demand that the smell be bad (though using it otherwise has become kind of an archaism) and I got the impression Vreeg was using it in a non pejorative sense.

I took it to the next level and got my name off of some shitty yahoo website of elven names. Nimten means "Deep Splinter" (:

That's not Norm's style at all. I think he genuinely sees names that sound "AD&D" to him, and I agree, and he wonders why.

It's hard to put the finger on it. Part of it comes from anagrams on Gary's name, full of "z" and "x" like Zagyg, Ring of Gax, Yrag and so on. Another part I think is inherited from wargames, where you get German sounding names, for instance, so that's how Otho sounds Greyhawk-ian here, i.e. AD&Dish (and incidentally, very Ptolusite as well, since Ptolus is located on the Prustan Peninsula, which is partly inspired on German renaissance in the original setting, and will be obviously more medieval in this setting, to reflect AD&D, again).

Names definitely are part of the AD&D ambiance, and so far, the names we have totally fit the bill, whether by accident or purpose, doesn't matter, but they do!

Quote from: skofflox;415440Blood thick Bro...I am game for that...how do you feel about a 1/2 orc Cleric in the family?

Sweet. I have a feeling I'm going to need a good medic. Alot.

Quote from: Benoist;415507You could switch two stats for instance, like Str and Con, which would result in 17 Str and 18 Con if I'm not mistaken, which is still really, really good. You then recalculate the Hit Points and you're done.

I could indeed.
