Once your characters have been created, please dot this thread and we can discuss some things before the game formally begins! Welcome!
I know hiyumi is currently undertaking her finals, so I'm unsure how much time she has to start rp now before the 9th May. I don't want her or any other player to fall behind on the initial get to know (social rp) which I think is important toward developing your characters as a functioning group. That's my two cents. I don't mind hearing others thoughts on this at this time.
Post is up on the Main Page :)
Dotting! I'll be done after Thursday, so I should be good soon! Just a few more days and I'll have my Masters. <3
Good luck, hiyumi! <3 Exciting times ahead for you in RL.
Congrats on your masters, Hiyami!

@Ariarh: Would we have general knowledge about the area? Such as the Wildwood Druids, the gnomes of Wispil, the pirates along the Sellen? I could play it as though she's only got minimal information about other places or is generally aware of the implications and relationships between 'em - just wanted to sort out which is preferable. c:
Also, thanks to both of you for your congratulations. c:
...the pirates along the Sellen?
I'm not on the Sellen, I'm in the tavern!
Oh, you meant the OTHER pirates ;)
@hiyumi: Being Rhia is an Aasimar and has lived longer than the others (well except for Anila, who is also Aasimar) -- I am happy to say in her travels after Oppara, she has some general knowledge of the areas she's travelled through and around. Unless she's lived in or around those areas for more than a month, I don't think she'd have awareness of the implications and relationships between those different things and factions. Add some more detail to your backstory and I'll take a look and make a final decision as to the extent. Does that sound okay? :)
A heads-up: Immortal is changing his character as he has decided upon a different course. There is still time before we start on the 9th May. He will advise you all once the new character is finished. :)
@Connor: I mean to post a reply to Connor on the game thread, but since Immortal is making a new character, I want to hold off for a bit, so everyone can start at the same time. Thanks. :)

Cool.
Well, via the trip here -
For now I'm going to say that I would have talked to other players on the road for the past few days (imagine a road trip with no books, electronics or literally anything to do but keep walking and possibly talking to the people you're traveling with - yeah; I'm going to learn about my companions in the past few days).
That said; I'd like to have RP'd that but to simplify things I'm probably going to just read the other players sheets and assume my guy knows what's on them (unless anyone wants to RP that with me, in which case I'm totally cool with developing that organically instead).
Anyhow, for now I guess I'll continue to eat, study my surroundings and learn what I can.
@Ariarh: Thanks, will do! I'll hit you up once I've added the details I'm thinking of. c:
Background is finalized. I am working on what Riley has been up to for the past few days now.
@Riley: Thank you for that. The story looks great and gave me a sense of what Riley has endured and is still enduring. I have a question: You chose 'Pride' as Riley's drawback but I didn't see it encapsulated in the backstory (or any mention pertaining to his pride - unless it was subtle and I missed it -- then I'm sorry). You did mention hedonism and alike, however. Did you change your drawback to 'Hedonistic' (He enjoys his alcohol and seeks other ways to escape the pain that is evident in his icy blue eyes - via your follow-up questionnaire answer) or 'Attached' (to Lily's locket)?
Correction: Talia Orem (proprietor of The Wise Piper Inn) is 22 years old and not 40. Please ignore that in the opening narrative on the main game thread.
I had meant to switch it to attached, but we have so many already choosing attached. What do you think? I want something that you can work with in RP. Hedonistic is cool, but I am worried it may push the game from PG to PG 13 ;) Plus, I want to see some redemption. If he starts hedonistic (which is the plan), I don't want it to be a core emphasis as he matures and hopefully learns to get his enjoyment from the group. What are your thoughts? Do you see another one that would fit and allow good RPing?
You're right we have enough 'Attached' drawbacks in the current party. I think 'Paranoid' would work with Riley's background - he doesn't trust readily, he protects the locket at all costs, he feels he may be discovered and incarcerated for his crimes etc ...What do you think?
Re Hedonistic, I have no issue with raising the rating of the game, and also, Hedonism can always occur off screen to keep it "work safe". Plus, the hedonism could take the form of gambling, hard drinking, drugs etc rather than womanising ... It's up to you.

Okay, sounds good to me. I'll send you a PM a little later (sorry, working currently) with some small details re Talia (until you and the others get to know her better). :)
If you guys want to have some conversation at the table at the inn before we officially start on Monday, then please go ahead. Speak with each other - try not to include the npcs too much at this stage because I'm going to be very busy this weekend and will not be able to answer/respond readily.
Thanks! :)
Head to bed, now. Night. Hope you all have a good day.

No worries!
Meantime, I hope you have a great weekend :)
Rhia has joined the fray~ c: Well, the game, anyways.
@Ariarh: I'm going to go and see if I care particularly about the details of where our merry lot are (regarding the local knowledge question I had before) and I'll fb message you regarding it. c: Enjoy your sleepy times~
Riley has not shared much of anything about himself with anyone. As a matter of fact, most of his time on the caravan was spent either riding along quietly or drinking and gambling with Silas Gribb. His eyes have met each of the four other travelers' eyes at some point, but he has yet to speak to any of them.

No worries - on the other hand, the invitation is open if you'd like to chat now :)
Felix:
Bard-YES!
Archer-YES!
Grease-YES!
Survival-YES!
Inspire Courage-HELL YES!
Bravo mate!!! I love you character!

Thanks Riley! Did you notice he has Scent also! ;-) Also I can't wait to do some Inspire Competence for you! Disarm, Disarm, Disarm that trap! Otherwise we'll take that long dirt nap!! lol
Did you notice he has Scent also! ;-)
Yep! I made a Catfolk Dawnflower Dervis Bard once. He could lay the smack down!
Felix: By the way, I am waiting a bit to let the others catch up before posting a response to you.
dot
Felix: Here are a couple cool Catfolk images you may like for your character picture. If you do not like any of them, no biggie.
Those are awesome! Thanks man!
There are Catfolk avatars too if you want a more humanoid one. They are under subtype and then Rakshasa.
Again, you go with what you like! The one you have is pretty cool.
Gonna head to bed, but I'll try and throw up a post in the morning. c:
Okay, tomorrow is the official start of the game. Once I finish up with work, today, I'll make any necessary NPC responses.
Let the fun officially begin! ;) Hope you enjoyed your respective Mother's Day celebrations. :)

Sounds good, GM!
See you all tomorrow, then :)
Good night, Connor! :)
Since Anila and Felix only recently joined in the conversation in the dining hall of the inn, do you all want a little more time for social rp? I don't want to rush the general chatter (enjoying it!) but I want to pace it so everyone is happy with the game.

i'm good with whatever you decide. i'm ready move on if that is the general agreement. If everyone still wants to talk that's fine with me too. :)
I'm good with either as well :-)
Ditto
Okay, I'll give you guys a little more time to finish your conversations and then move us forward, today. :)
Okay, and now we've officially started!!

Woot!
oh, woah, so many posts! I'm gonna go through the lot and try to throw up a bit of my own before I turn in. c:
Also, yaaaaay, it begins! :D
