Very cool to have guignol and Squee onboard.

I'll make an IC post later today.

Hurry up bitches or I'll turn you into NPCs until you start posting!

Used the generator at sup-tg.  I'm lazy, shut up.

Marcus Leifholt

Hailing from the northern Empire, Marcus went south after the war, chasing brigands and malcontents until he finally reached Nuln.  He doesn't really care for the city, it's dirty and the air smells like soot, but Marcus has been worse places, and the beer is decent.  He's unsure if he should head back towards home, or push to the Border Princes.

Quote from: Dodger;539596Fantastic! So, give me a brief paragraph of a backstory as to what a hunter is doing in Nuln and then post to the other thread to let me know what he's doing as we open the game.

Don't worry about how you all end up together for the time being. I have a cunning plan...

Dirty Hugo has traveled to Nuln because he has heard that it may be at the threshold of a burgeoning food crisis--which Hugo sees as an opportunity for personal profit.  Hugo hunts the land around Nuln and brings game back to the city to be sold at market.  Hugo plans on raising the prices on his game as food becomes scarcer and scarcer.  Schemes like these are what have earned Hugo the nickname "Dirty Hugo," and are also the reason why he's no longer welcome in the Mootlands.

Excellent! Nice little group here - protagonist, dwarven soldier, halfling hunter and a roadwarden. Now, what sort of misadventures can we get this little lot into, I wonder.

Also, guys, I'm just making shit up as I go along.  I have cursory knowledge about the WFRP Old World so please forgive me if I write something that doesn't jive with the setting (please let me know as well though).  I own the 1st edition and played it a couple of time like 20 years ago.

Quote from: misterguignol;539347If you've got room for one more, I just random-rolled up this guy:

Can you double-check how you reached your BS and T scores? They're too high for a starting character...

Quote from: Dodger;539989Can you double-check how you reached your BS and T scores? They're too high for a starting character...

Crap, BS should 50.  (2d10+30 for being halfling [I rolled a 10, giving me 40, +5 Marksman talent, +5 first advance)  I think this was a typing mistake.

T should be 31 (2d10+10 [I rolled an 16, giving me 26] +5 Very Resilient).

Do these look right now?

Sorry 'bout that!

+5 Very Resilient

Ah, I totally forgot about those advances...

Quote from: Dodger;540002Ah, I totally forgot about those advances...

I also got the Hardy one.

Quick question: I realize now that I don't know how you prefer we do our rolls.

Also, how do we tell the number of successes?  Is that new to 2e?

Quote from: misterguignol;540034Also, how do we tell the number of successes?  Is that new to 2e?

I'm not familiar with 1e so I don't know, but in 2e, each 10% of difference between the target number and the dice result is counted as one degree of success (or failure, as the case may be). For example, Dieter has INT 34 and rolled a 4, so he gets exactly 3 degrees of success. If he had rolled a 29, he'd be looking at success with zero degrees (I'm not making this up!). A 55 would be two degrees of failure, etc.

Awesome, thanks.

Successes is as The Butcher described it.

For dice-rolling, Invisible Castle seems cool.

The reason I'll ask for the number of successes is for situations where there are different potential outcomes. For example, if Huge had passed his Perception test by zero successes, he'd have been able to hear some snatches of a conversation between some guys at a table behind him. One clear success would have also enabled him to overhear the whole conversation, not just snatches. Two successes would have meant that he could hear another conversation happening at the other end of the bar, and three successes would have enabled him to listen in on Dieter's conversation.

I'll sometimes make secret rolls, where appropriate. For example, Marcus has already failed a Gossip test that I rolled to find out what he might have heard/learnt above and beyond the information I supplied in the introduction, while he was drinking in the tavern before the rest of you arrived.

So how are we going to get the roadwarden to join our little gang?
