Hi everyone! Are you as excited to play this game as I am?

I’ll be your resident cleric. More to come on my background, but good to meet all of you.

I absolutely am, Gregar!  Looking forward to writing and playing with you all.

Sef here will be your front-line fists in that of a monk.  If my usual luck persists, I hope you're the type of cleric with a whole lot of heals, Gregar!

I would like to congratulate all of you who were selected. Before I do much more I want to make sure everyone who was invited posts a hello about themselves, make sure we didn't lose anyone out of the gate.

Please vote as to if you want feats or not, as my preference is I do not care.

I would also like everyone to describe their character's appearance and what one might think of them upon a first impression, since the game will start with your characters having already met and knowing one another.

After I am sure everyone is here I will begin working with some of you to tie your characters together before even the small introductory scenario I describe and will detail better in a moment.

The next steps will be me describing the party's first adventure with one another and proposing parts in that scenario where you as a group should decide the outcome rather than me dictate history to you; sort of a choose your own adventure story.

After that I will begin the Calm Before the Storm thread where I will begin the game proper.

There will be lots of crunch questions I presume and will answer them, I will ask that once your character is created you post a text based character sheet under your character details section.

I would like each player to pick a color for their Speech so that when your character is speaking their words are a different color than the rest of the text. While OOC speech is reserved for the color orange, when in any in game thread.

Example: OOC: I needed to re-roll because of my ability.

I would also like to mention the player Mr. Nashford is someone I know in real life and who is a very good role player who asked to be considered for this game. So if I go silent for a while or he does we will be able to let the others know why, so never fear there should not be any ghosting from us.

I don't know what everyone expects as far as posting rate goes so we can discuss what will be good for everyone.

I will let you all know now that my schedule for work is 8-5 so I will be able to post once daily at least, but that will soon change once I am fully trained in my new position and I will go back to 11 hour shifts alternating 3days on 4 days off and 4 days on and 3 days off, so when that comes back around I will let everyone know and my posting rate will shift to fit my days off, as after 11 hours I want to eat and not be awake anymore.

And well... any questions?

Hello everyone. Looking forward to gaming with you. Garrett is a fighter with a troubled past.

I like Feats, but if the majority vote against them it's not the end of the world. =)

Garret made me aware of a mistake I made on the character creation page just now. If you are rolling for your states perform the method as described but drop the lowest number with no re-rolling 1s. My apologies.

so example is 4d6 rolled drop lowest and keep the number you are given after the drop.

so 4+4+2+1 = 10 by dropping the lowest (1) and adding the rest.

I prefer having feats available even if I don't use any or many.  Not the end of the world to me either if someone is opposed though!

Also for that method of rolling stats, are we keeping the rolls in the order we rolled them or can we place them wherever we wish in our stat array?

starting from STR and making your way down to CHA placing the number rolled in that slot, no picking. But you can scrap the whole array and try again, just don't fish for like 4 18s or anything. So I ask no rolling like 20 arrays.

I just now realized Sefira is most likely the most courageous of all of you before the game even starts. They're willing to fight a dragon with only their fists, just imaging a heroic fight and the monk all like "well I could punch the dragon."
