Human Rogue.


Mind if I change that to a Halfling Rogue?

OOC: Character Generation

In reply to Narrator (msg # 11):

I've found this link to edit abled PDFs for all the character sheets:

https://drive.google.com/drive...s6pdERT94X9hOJtM-gxR

Is this the kind of thing that will work for our group?

(I didn't make the sheets, found them on Reddit)

Yeah, that should be okay.

Once everyone has created their characters we can share completed sheets.

I, again, suggests google sheets.

I can translate it back to english. This is one document for all characters that can be edited by everyone at the same time.

If you're up for the translation, August, that's certainly fine by me.  I'd say we have good options now.

Dave, I've put character info into the Character Details, if you have access to it is that looking to be ok?

Re: OOC: Character Generation

So I might of missed something but I see people posting links for character sheets on Google, are you running a shared drive for us to use to post our sheets too? I've got a character pic and description posted but nothing else yet.

I believe we're doing character creation, or the bulk of it anyway, using the RPoL Character Details tab but will migrate over to a google sheet for gameplay.

Yeah, if you can run through the Legends character generation system until you are happy with your character (in terms of their age young/adult/old) and post the results in the Character Details section. Once we're all agreed on our characters then we will move to a Google Sheet for ease of tracking stats, conditions etc..

Oh, by the way, I think we have a 5th player, from the FL forums.. Hopefully joining soon.

Sounds like a plan.

Once you've got your basic attributes sorted out we need to decide on a Dark Secret, which I'd like to keep as a secret for now.. can be one from the suggested secrets, or you can make up your own.

Same for Pride.

Re: OOC: Character Generation

Hey everyone, I'm new here, and new to Forbidden lands in general, but am excited to get involved.
Based on your current character lineup, it looks like you need a Fighter, so I'd be happy to fill that role. A dwarf fighter would work for me, I would love to play an orc, but I understand if that's going complicate things.

Re: OOC: Character Generation

I think to keep your group out of trouble in villages, the dwarf would be the easier option. ;)

If you put them on your sheet in the Character Details section - that's just for you and the GM..

Your Description is public, so when you're ready you can put some basic info about your character there that would be public knowledge, like their appearance and obviously personality traits, but just brief information is fine there.

Re: OOC: Character Generation

I'll figure out how to share the Character Sheets today.

For your Dark Secrets, please send me a PM with your ideas and we can discuss them if we need to.

Okay, hopefully think links to the shared sheet in English.. if you complete it with your character details and then share that with me by putting the link to your copy in the character sheet on rpol. That's how it works right?

How do I download that sheet so I can fill it out? Also there a bit of Swedish left in it, RUSTNING OCH HJÄLM, equipment and armor, if google is to be trusted.

If you save a copy and rename it to your character's name, then share a link with me. That hopefully should work.

I've updated the Swedish.. I'm guessing it should be Armour & Helmet as it would fit with the first part of your translation.

Correct. Rustning = Armour Hjälm = Helmet. And Equipment would be Utrustning.

Guys, we can all edit the google sheet, even at the same time. We just need to copy the template sheet for each character. I can do that.

It is like a "menu" in the bottom. With all your emails, I can invite you to edit it. Dave can also do it (and also invite). Cheers

Edit: hope this link works:

Re: OOC: Character Generation

My background-rolls have left me overencumbered, am I allowed to sell the items I have received for market price and use the coins for gear that I want and am able to carry?
