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.

LOL I don't know about Cole, he's the one who gets to agree or not with the particulars, but that's exactly the kind of stuff I had in mind: Short, yet effective. :D

Yeah, I was asking him. :)  Thought the quote would make that clear.  I edited it to clarify.

Quote from: winkingbishop;415733How's this Cole?

A roll on that table says that one of us almost ran the other down with their horse.  It makes far more sense for the stubby dwarf to be the near-miss.  Plus, I wouldn't own a horse.

In a shady inn outside of Ptolus, we decided to make amends.  One thing led to another and before you know it Othos forgot his wits and told the innkeeper how much he admired his mother's facial hair.

A hasty retreat followed.

"In a way, the Lands of Dream are far more brutal than the worlds of most mainstream games. All of the games set there have a bittersweetness that I find much harder to take than the ridiculous adolescent posturing of so-called \'grittily realistic\' games. So maybe one reason I like them as a setting is because they are far more like the real world: colourful, crazy, full of strange creatures and people, eternal and yet changing, deeply beautiful and sometimes profoundly bitter."

So counting single classes as "1" and multiclass instances as "1/2" (just for the sake of the count, don't read too much into it) we've got:

Classes
Fighters: 3.5
Clerics: 1.5
Thieves: 2
Magic-Users: 1.5
Assassin: 1

Races
Shoal Elves: 3
Dwarves: 1
Half Elves: 1
Half Orcs: 2
Humans: 2

Interesting!

Alright. I have some bad news: Randall had to bow out of the game because a family member is in the hospital right now. I won't share any more detail (it's not my place to do so), but if you want to send some good feelings his way, I don't think it would hurt, really.

Now, as far as the game's concerned, this basically means that, but for a few details with the characters here and there, they're basically all generated and ready to go. I'll have some news about the start of the game pretty soon. I'm mapping right now.

Sorry to hear about your loved one Randall.  Best wishes to you and your family.  With any luck, you can join up with us in the future after we've earned a few TPKs.

Best wishes to you and yours Randall...:)
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!
