Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Dungeon Master:
Don't forget to roll for yer gold!

Spellcasters I need default spell lists.

All of you need to either pick out campaign traits or tie into the story via the Crimson Throne's player's guide.


Serra came to Korvosa after hearing of the ideals of Cressida Kroft, hoping she could aid the guard and improve her skills before she returned home. She managed to end up meeting the woman whom has earned her respect, though the only suggestion Cressida had for her was to keep an eye out for jobs posted by the guard and to hang out around the training grounds... or just join the guard. Serra is still debating the guard but for now she's hesitant to tie herself down to Korvosa. She was recently offered a task by Cressida Herself, to bring Gaedran Lamm to justice, but it was emphasized this is a personal task and has nothing to do with the city guard.

- Would this be an acceptable tie in?

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Almost...

Here's something for consideration:
quote:
Curse of the Crimson Throne assumes that all of the PCs have a shared nemesis from the start: local crime lord and villain Gaedren Lamm, a deplorable crook well past his prime, yet possessed of a tenacious ability to stay one step ahead of the Korvosan Guard while maintaining complete control of his band of young pickpockets recruited from the city’s street urchins and orphans. The Curse of the Crimson Throne Player’s Guide lists several backgrounds players might choose for their characters—these traits grant small bonuses to their stats, but more importantly for the start of the campaign, they give the characters an in-game reason to come together. Each PC has been wronged in some manner by Gaedren Lamm, so each PC should have a built-in reason to reply to the mysterious Harrow card that appears in his life as this adventure begins.


So if you want to go the guard route and not pick a campaign trait that ties into the game then it could just be that Cressida either told you or you overheard about the crimes of Gaedren Lamm and hinted that the guards didn't have the resources to track down whatever hole he had hidden himself in and so the implication is that getting rid of him would be of great service to the city...


edit: Campaign traits count towards your 2 maximum. I am allowing drawbacks as long as they are actual drawbacks. So Anxious/Condescending are not drawbacks for a character that doesn't speak, for example. Drawbacks are highly prone to being abused so I will be taking a very critical eye to the selections, but if it fits it fits and you can pick up a third trait.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Hey, just a note. I'm pretty busy over the next two days, but my character should be finished by Tuesday at the latest. My sheet is mostly done, just need to roll for Gold and buy equipment. I have a rough outline for my character's personality and background, that's what's gonna take until Tuesday, I expect.

To make a very, very brief overview of what I'm looking at, Victor will be living in, was not born in, Korvosa. He will have attended the Theumanexus College, but was forced to leave after being framed for murder, and has since continued his education on his own.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Sorry for the delay on finishing my character, Tuesday was...busier than planned. I've set aside a solid couple of hours tonight to finish it completely, so it should be done before morning.

Edit: And done. Let me know if there's any errors.

Waiting on Serra to do her equipment. I will audit everyone else tomorrow morning. Finally, Violetta, are you done in regards to your equipment? Not a lot there on the sheet...

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

Well MOST of you are done and the opening scene doesn't exactly require equipment 100% in place so I think we can get started sometime early next week. Maybe this weekend but probably not due to a big party I am throwing...

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

So for the temporary delays. I am picking up some new work at my job and my son has been sick off an on this week. Nothing serious but enough to keep me up at nights and fill up my free time during the day.

I've got a big post set, I just need time to write it out...

Sorry.  My dad just got home from the hospital yesterday after suffering a heart attack on Saturday night.  He's doing really well, now, and things are starting to get back onto an even keel.  I should have a post this (Thursday) evening.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern - For all your chatting needs

After a week of trying to post and always ending the day without an update, I have come to the conclusion that I just don't have the time for RPoL anymore.

It's been an amazing half decade for me but with the changing of my job I just don't have the time to update during work hours like I did (back when my job was probably only 10 hours a week).

As for my personal life, I have a son who just turned one and another little one on the way and while I would love to continue gaming like this online, the problem is consistency. I could easily go weeks without having the time to make good updates and that just isn't the kind of game that I want to run so I am closing down shop across the board.

I'm very sorry as this game just barely started last month but two big life changes means no more rpol in very short amount of time.

As a status update, I've put in a Wanted - GM to take over this game (and other games). Someone is currently poking around and might take things over.
