OOC Chat thread

My PCs sound like the start to a bad joke:
"Three Halflings and a Dwarf walk into a dungeon..."

Haha nice!   Oh and let me know if you have any issues or questions with character creation or anything else.

We're going to be starting with Hole in the Sky, unless you guys have played it before.

I haven't. My PCs are pretty much done, number-wise. I'll get in short descriptions and like a line or two of background.

I've got the full house. What do you get when a Halfling, an Elf, a Human and a Dwarf walk into a tavern?

Considering the survivors will only be choosing classes later, and race is synonymous with class in this game, the professions do not impose selection of their named races, do they?

Hmm...good question.  From what I've read, the only limitation is that you need have rolled one of the demihuman races to pick that class.   For example: you could be an elf fighter or an elf elf, and double up on it.  But your dwarf couldn't pick an "elf" class.   At least that's my interpretation.

So in a manner of speaking, a character has a choice of five classes, the four non-race classes and one class that is their race. Humans get to pick from just four classes.

That sounds alright to me.

Hello everyone. Looking forward to dying horribly together en masse.

By the book, DCC is an old-school race-as-class game. But if the judge wants to split race from class, that’s great. It shouldn’t be too hard to manage.

Looks like I’m bringing these four yahoos to the party.

Elven chandler. Halfling chicken butcher. Urchin. Butcher.

I'm bringing Dorlin & The Humbletops.
No one is above 3ft.

Nice.

I think I have Vladisav and the Butchers. I lucked out and old Vlad there has a 17 personality, so I think I have us a cleric if I can keep him alive. One PC with 1 hp, one with 2. Those are not likely to survive. But weirder things have happened in DCC.

I think I'm set with my characters, judge.

I finished my characters. Couple things before we start:

How much can my Dwarven Blacksmith sell his ounce of mithril for? He needs to get some missile weapons urgently.

My halfling was able to purchase a sling but no stones. He's going to search for some good stones by the riverbed.

We can do that? I thought we would just go straight into a dungeon. That is cool.

As for separation of race from class, I am against the idea. I would like to retain the old school rules of DCC to start with.

In reply to Player 01 (msg # 12):

That's a great question.  After some research, it doesn't seem like there's a consensus on how much the mithril would be worth.   It doesn't seem to be as rare in DCC as in other sources.
 I'm going to base it off some of the other trade goods, and say that your character could sell it for 4 gp in his village.   Sound fair?

In reply to Player 02 (msg # 13):

And yes, you can buy whatever you can afford with your starting money.   And let's go with race as classes.

You’re the judge, so I’m good with it!

Ok...looks like everyone has their sheets updated, I'm going to open up the adventure thread and we can get this show on the road!   If have any last minute tweaks just make them before you post to the IC thread.

We have two elven glassblowers in our midst, and they're both the silent type.
