I'm not really familiar with RPOL.  Is it possible to post via Email?

Not that I'm aware of. I believe you will need to come to RPOL to post. Will that be problematic?

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 3):

Nope, turns out I can post from the browser on my smartphone :)

I'm very enthusiastic about playing this game, and in the meantime I thought I'd spark some conversation.

So I read some stuff online about a 3rd edition of FS, under Redbrick. That a beta version of that new 3rd ed system is floating around the net. And that it all got scrapped. But that Redbrick still intended to release a 3rd edition for Gencon (which I assume means this August).

Anyone have anything more they can tell me about all this? Specifically, what we can expect from this 3rd edition?

Obviously our GM has modified the 2nd edition. You folks have any opinions on changes that should be made to the 2nd edition rules?

All I can offer is community speculation.  With all of the work of the old author being scrapped, and the timeframe till gencon, most of the community seems to expect a reheated version of 2e with limited changes.

If you have the time & patience, you can read through this thread over on rpg.net to get an idea of what's up with the 3rd edition:

People's character concepts are really developing well. We're going to have quite a colorful party for this Epic and I can already see a great deal of intriguing roleplaying potential for the PC's being created.

Baron, lurker, LaserEye and eskatonic - I'll work with you to complete your characters as soon as time allows

Dalewarrior and Yuber Okami - waiting on your responses

mrstrange, Camojoe and Dagretto - waiting on your character details

friarjohn00, MILLANDSON and ucat - waiting on character concepts from you

Exile - haven't heard anything from you yet

Loren, I sent you my character creation details in the weekend by private mail; didn't you get them?

I got them and I responded in your private thread.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 10):

Just sent my first shot !

Ducking wildly...

Update on everyone's progress with character creation (for the sake of keeping the group informed of the overall rate of progression):

Baron and lurker - virtually finished with character creation; I'll follow up with each of you later this evening.

LaserEye, eskatonic, mrstrange and ucat - in progress; I'll work with each of you later this evening to get your characters further along toward completion.

Dalewarrior and Yuber Okami - waiting on your responses in your threads.

Camojoe and Dagretto - waiting on your character details.

friarjohn00 and MILLANDSON - waiting on character concepts from you.

Exile - still haven't heard anything from you yet.


So all in all, 13 total players, 6 of whom are making steady progress with character creation, and waiting on the other 7 regarding their concepts/character details. I won't hold up those players who finish their characters before others though. I'll most likely begin the game in some sort of capacity as soon as at least 3 of you have finished your characters, depending on how dependent they are on other PC's being ready (such as cohorts traveling in a Questing Knight's or noble's personal entourage).

Unfortunately, Camojoe has informed me that real life is becoming too hectic for him to commit reliably to this game at this time, so he will be holding off on character creation for the time being, but will still be following the action and will remain here in an OOC fashion. This means there is currently not a Decados noble in the collection of character concepts being formed.

Baron and lurker - in all likelihood, your characters will be finished by today.

LaserEye, eskatonic, mrstrange and ucat - I'll work with each of you today as time allows.

Dalewarrior and Yuber Okami - waiting on responses from you in your threads.

Dagretto and MILLANDSON - waiting on your character details.

friarjohn00 - waiting on a character concept from you.

Exile - still haven't heard anything from you yet.

Update:

Baron's and lurker's characters are finished and ready for action.

LaserEye, eskatonic, mrstrange and ucat - apologies for the delay, I should be able to focus more on your character submissions now that Baron's and lurker's are completed.

Dalewarrior, Yuber Okami, Dagretto, MILLANDSON, friarjohn00 and Exile - waiting on responses/character details/concepts from you guys.

I'm curious, how is this campaign going to run?  We have a very large group, with nobles that don't usually work together.

It's all going to depend on your character concepts. You may not all begin in the same group and individual motives for sticking together may vary. Plus, as of now only half of you have actually submitted characters (with 2 of you now finished), so the final composition of the party is not yet clear. But I'll do my best to work something out to bind you together in the long run. Of course, it definitely helps if players select concepts that work easily in a group together and complement one another.

Sent in my character details now - sorry for the delay!
