This is the standard OOC discussion thread, for coordination and questions.

The first planned adventure is one I hope will be fast-paced, somewhat light-hearted though not a comedy, and non-lethal.

We have two players already, welcome to the both of you.  Anchorhead is on the northern coast, east of where Denmark would be, about due north of Berlin in real historical Europe.  We begin in that vicinity, the adventure will start outside the city proper.

Greetings Lilly!

Looking forward to this.

Folks, how did you calculate hit points?

Averages.

In my case, 6+Con.

I have been using full HP per die for so long I didn't even think about it.  That tends to help mitigate the inherent advantage casters have over non casters a little bit, but if we are in a low enough magic setting to lack casters that shouldn't be as big of a problem.

It's roll each level after first, but I'll accept average.

Thanks.

Alright, two more joined us today, a pair of spell casters.  Welcome!

Hello all, happy to be here.  I'll be your friendly neighborhood support/utility caster.

Speaking of casters and magic, DM, how does magic play into this setting?  Are spellcasters a commonplace thing with academies and wandering sages roaming the countryside?  Or is it a more rare and unusual gift, or even something given a side-eye in some communities?  Are magic items and potions the kind of thing one can find in stores or are they bespoke, singular treasures with histories all their own?

Mallory! You are supposed to be in an ice tower with some Bugbears!

Magic is fading in the world.  In ancient times there were colleges or academies of magic, not any more.  Now wizards are often lone figures with an apprentice or two,  though they are still sought after and respected.  Magic items are not bought and sold in stores.  The fading of magic is one of the themes something that perhaps goes hand in hand with modernity.  Elves are likewise very rare now, wood elves being the only type seen regularly.  There are legends of a hidden kingdom of elves.

Greetings companions!

Luisa your sorcereress at your service.

Welcome new players!
