Done, barring some tidying up and equipment I think

I'm done.

Three's a party!

Let me know when you are tidied up and ready to get things looked over.

In reply to Game Master (msg # 93):

I just did my 5 background options - chose +2 to a stat, +10 to a primary skill, language (level 10), random secondary skill, random item.
For languages, Mixed Men normally have 2, plus I have the extra one -- what are the languages in the setting?

The first two would be the local language, most likely.

Have you thought about magical languages?

I’ll have to check but for now let’s go with

Westron
Sindaran
Queyna
Kazan
Ocrish

There will be a couple
Of others.  But that will do for now.

Magical languages will be from the books as per the optional magical languages part.  If you need a page number let
Me know since I’ll have to find it again.

What is the local language for where we are starting?

Westron, among the humans

Thanks

When are you targeting for launch GM?

I think I'm good to go. Haven't bought much equipment but the character is ready.

Ready for review

I’d like to get this going by the weekend.

I’ve checked the sheets submitted. Given some questions, given some instructions.  A couple have not finished up but things are progressing, any questions let me know.

I'm pretty excited for this game to get going.

We've established that Gagnrad knows Bugrem. Anyone else want to have met prior?

In reply to Gagnrad Beargrasp. (msg # 106):

We've also established that Tahari and Bugrem know each other, so perhaps our characters know each other as well?

In reply to Bugrem Stonesinger (msg # 55):



How about this for Ven: He came to this provincial backwater of a city to hide out. He needed to get away from his home city, and was sent here by his mentor and told to lay low. Looking for work, he met Bugrem and Gagnrad and found his skills could complement theirs on these investigation assignments.

Gagnrad seems to be an outdoorsy  type, so likely not from the city?

Merle is apprenticed the the town healer in a small village a hour or so from the city, per the GM.

He is also outdoorsy, although more Druid/Animist than Ranger-ish. And he's a trained healer and herbalist, if only barely.

They may well have met, at the least. Merle and his Master may even have done a bit of patching up for Gagnrad.

Definitely not from a city.

Less likely to have assisted inside of a city.

All those suggestions work for me (the Merle one especially).

Attempting to summarise:

• Bugrem is a Dwarf and native to the provincial city, having worked here as a city guard, bounder (scout), and investigator. He is broadly at home in the city or its rural surrounds
• Gagnrad is a Half-Elf from the wilds nearby, having worked with Bugrem as a bounder hunting orcs; the two make a mismatched pair, with a three-foot difference in height!
• Merle is Mixed Man from a small village nearby, having patched up both Bugrem and Gagnrad whilst being drawing to their tales far from his master's tower
• Tahari is a Mixed Man and native to the provincial city, working on the edges of the law, and has been an informant to Bugrem in the past
• Taldrok is a Dwarf and a cleric, which traditionally means some form of Ancestor; I have suggested he might share that Ancestor with Bugrem, but not sure if he's from the city or the mountain halls?
• Ven is a Mixed Man and from another city, sent here by his mentor to lay low, and has worked with Bugrem (and perhaps Gagnrad) on a case or three

Life has kept my attention but I intend to finish my character and work on connections tonight.  (I'm still around)

Grand! Apologies if I came across as hassling :)

Working away at my character.  I believe paladin better suits my character concept so I have switched professions and I have taken the TP Guardian, so I have the ability to get around.

I was born & raised in the mountain halls but have since moved to the city.

Who would I know?
I've almost certainly worked with Bugrim on several cases / investigations
I've probably hired Gagnrad as a wilderness guide (several times?)
By above association, I know Merle at least professionally
I may have had a run-in or two with Tahari in the past

The rest...?
