Re: The dawn rises on a new chapter...

In reply to Kavi (msg # 13):

I'd fallen out of the habit of checking on this site, and by random chance I check today to find activity here?! How's that for unusual happenstance?

I'd be down for giving things another go. Definitely need to refresh my memory banks though. :)

Re: Out of Character Chatter

Greetings Varael!

Varael Feradion:
it looks like Varael was only half done when this game died last time, so I am going to have to go back over his concept and see what is going on first.

I am glad you will be joining us!  Look over your character and if you can't get the feel for them again, feel free to change up to your heart's content.  PM me with any questions or ideas :)

With a smile,
Kavi

The Fates played their hand *g*!  Happy to have you join us.

Completely understand!  Look over your sheet, if you want to add or change anything, or if you want to start fresh, its doable.  PM me with any questions or ideas.

Re: Out of Character Chatter

Greetings and good morrow Frank!

Victor Frank Phiphlas:
I'm definitely going to need a refresher on what this game was about (setting/lore wise and the plot hook). Other than that, I see no reason why not to give it a shot.

We are in (slightly modified) Golarion, starting in the Cordelon (Caershire/Fenlee), Galt (Dhelwuhr) and Kyonin (Rallian).  In typical medieval(esque) society people often never strayed far from their home town but there is a small swath of folks who are cut of a different cloth, who have a destiny to do mighty things and perhaps become legend.  That is how adventurers are molded.  So to start with you will be in your home town, trying to find your way out :) however that path develops.

Victor Frank Phiphlas:
I'm free, I only have 1 other game to worry about here on rpol, let's give it a shot.

RPoL seems to have quieted down some since last I was here.  Or perhaps it is but a summer lull.

As I have mentioned to the others, feel free to revamp your character as desired, pm me any questions or ideas you may have.  Delighted to have you back.

With a smile,
Kavi

Var is done - I am typing up his sheet right now and will be done later today. So, you should have an Elven Investigator.

Re: Out of Character Chatter

Hello all. Well, it seems like an interesting group. Looks very melee focused. Should be an interesting group.

Re: Out of Character Chatter

Interesting observation.  Melee focused in what way?

Re: Out of Character Chatter

We have a barbarian, a fighter and a ranger.  On the other hand we have an investigator, an alchemist and a scholar.  If we ever end up together, things would balance out.

Re: Out of Character Chatter

BTW, how do you pronounce that name?  Is it Lo-gee as in Geese?  Or Lo-jee as in Jeep?  Or something else?

Re: Out of Character Chatter

If you are from Caershire it's Low-ee like 'allow E'. Anywhere else it's Lo-Gee as in Geese, cause no one can say it right outside. XD Farmer boy name never comes out right with fancy elves, dwarves, and somesuch.

Re: Out of Character Chatter

Pye is largely a blank page.  That's one thing that I find so interesting in the Fighter class.  I mean, there's nothing that says you can't make a Fighter a fighter.  But fighting and defending is so integral to the game - if not life itself - that a Fighter could really be anything.  At the moment, Pye delivers the mail for her village's homegrown postal system.  But, her Da was a professional teamster at one time, working the caravan circuit.  I'm toying with having Pye try her hand at dispatching caravans.  Or, possibly crafting wagons, barrows, and such as a wainwright.

In fact, Kavi asked me the other day about how the mail system worked, and whether there would be anyone to take over if Pye should have to leave.  Good god damn question.  And the answer was no.  I hadn't thought of that.  Damn.  But, now that you, Logi, have got me thinking about it, there are any number of things I could cook up.  There's that one special package for a good neighbor that could take Pye elsewhere.  That's easy.  But it leaves a lot of loose ends.  I could manage a career shift.  The primary cash crop grown by Pye's village is lemons.  The need might arise to drive a few wagon loads of lemons to a city somewhere.  And Pye's sister Rose might have a new boyfriend.  He doesn't do much, and that might be one reason that Pye doesn't approve of him.  But, Pye could be convinced to leave the mail route to him.  Make him more responsible.

We'll see.  All kinds of options.

BTW, thanks.  For getting the creative juices flowing.

Re: Out of Character Chatter

Welcome.

Given all the wild stuff we can run into in the world it makes postal work seem to be exclusive to adventuring. Sure, roads get patrolled, but it takes one owl bear to ruin the post. May be a wise means of getting extra coin to have a literal post board. "Adventurer X in town, going to Y location. Accepting packages going to Y"

That's a good idea.  I think I can integrate that.

Re: Out of Character Chatter

It would make for a very useful plot device for a GM to get you to travel to a certain place.

Re: Out of Character Chatter

Being the mail carriers might be what your whole clan does. Started out just delivering local mail and then centuries ago it started to evolve into guarding caravans and now your whole clan are mail carriers, caravan guards, and special high risk delivery experts.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor orcs bold, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

Could then have cousins in every major city or town. Every caravan an aunt, and every port an uncle.

Re: Out of Character Chatter

Hmmmm, I'm not getting the OK for my character from Kavi. Hopefully she won't wait till last day before green-lighting it.
