Ah, I don't want to bow out of this, but I just can't seem to finish my character, and I don't want to hold anything up.
I'm sorry for being an inconvinience, have fun you guys.

Right, I'll put together my character tomorrow, today is my own Dark Heresy group, so I'll have to make sure my players are properly tormented.

Oh, by the way, the optional backgrounds and such from the Inquisitors handbook, as well as the alternate character ranks, are tjose in or out?
Better make sure of these things.

I'm going to spend today hamering out if I want to play and Adept or Scum, after that I'll be done with the character fast enough.

Assuming it's not too late to throw my hat into the ring then I'm most assuredly interested.
What would be most useful? I can play pretty much anything.

Hmmm, just tinkering around with some ideas, looking forward to this.

Dat is sure t' come in 'andy, oy'll be keepin' moi eye on it Begorrah.

Haha, bit over the top, but it'll do the trick I guess.

Right, I guess Irish American for me then, and I'll 'ave the biggest fockin' gun ye got ay?

I've been in one of these before, I wouldn't mind trying it again.

I'll be going to Greece this Friday and be gone for a week, not sure if I'll be able to post at all during that time.
So don't wait on me chums.

Yeah, the human spirit is strong. You can rebuild and recapture what was lost. Still, it is a terrible thing that happened.

Haha, one is a start, and sometimes enough.

Almost done with the crunch, thinking about the questions too. Apologises for being slow, I'm a bit sick at the moment, but should be done soon.

Haha, no offence intended, I was sort of groping for words really.

Besides, between the art of war and the book of five rings being studied by businessmen all over the world, we can safely say, accounting is hell, and business is war.

Right, but I should point out that my character is human, he went to Tir Tanglier because it was an Irish name, not because he was an elf.

Good, the connection to Alessaunder is there, now I just need to come to some agreement with Vorgen about the press ganged bit.
Most of my background is already done, just that detail left.

Well, true enough, but isn't there already a pretty high amount of awakened characters put forward?

I do have a concept.
A good catholic Irish boy, the kind with a father who is even more stern and pious than the official line of the church.
Poor sap finds himself in possession of "supernatural powers" and decried as a devil spawn by his father.

Forced to leave house and home, he does what so many of his forefathers did, by travelling to the new world.
Having lived in isolation he knows little about the world and tries to gain entry into Tir Tangier, thinking it sounds like a land from Irish myth.

Brutally rejected due to him being less than elfin he finds himself with no contacts or prospects.
But the shadows always needs awakened meat and so he runs in the shadows to survive, bitter and rejected.

Haha, well, I did ask if it was ok...
By the way Dm, do you want me to limit them to only one of the two advanced traits?

Ah, someone else submitted a Mystic adept? Well, I guess I might as well bow out then.
Less competition that way, have fun you guys.

That's novel, I've been a Gm for Shadowrun many times, but never had a chance to play it. I'll see if I can think of a good concept to post.

I think I read that if it is above Very rare you no longer get that +30 even if you just want the one?

And I feel I should check that my free aquisition is ok as well, Good quality cyber eyes. Henche his nickname of Glint Eye.

Or perhaps the Navigator and a small command crew, the fact that the navigator survived and was a bit more mutated than the norm might be attributed to the fact that he was the ONLY one who was recovered.
A man needs to eat...

I don't think we have an Arch-Militant yet yes? If nobody mind I would like to trade Astropath for that.
I feel like playing something a little more simple, hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes.

Hmmm, seems like taking the Battlefleet might be a good way to get some common ground with some people, maybe all grew up/served on the same ship?

With that in mind, I think I'll wait a little to see what the others have in mind, then I can fit in with someone else.
But I'll get cracking with the rest right away.

Hmmm, of the roles left open, I think I would be most comfortable with the Astropath.
Is that ok with everyone?

If it is closed then I understand, but I will mention I am very interested if there is a spot open.
I've got the same lousy track record as AK with RT.

Don't worry about it, considering the high quality of your posts I think a little lapse in posting now and again is more than forgivable.

Well, thank you all.
I guess I will just have to make a houserule on this one.

In the Serpent's Skull players guide there is a line that has caused a friend of mine some confusion, it goes like this.

"Also, a paladin’s mount can
often prove troublesome in the claustrophobic jungle
tangles and shadowy ruins common to the upcoming
adventures—making the ability to summon and dismiss
such a companion at will most beneficial."

Basically, as he is currently playing a Paladin in my game he wants to know if there is a way to do what it says, dismiss his mount at will.
Does anybody know what that line references?

I'll try and have a finished character up after work tomorrow and let you have a look see.

Sounds interesting, I'm throwing my hat into the ring.
I think I'd like to try an play an Eldrich knight.
Starting out as a fighter (Because it makes sense that he would have spent time learning that) for one lv, then taking sorceror lv's (discovering an inborn talent over suddenly learning wizardry) and then Eldrich knight lv's.

This is turning into a pretty interesting discussion, and held at a polite level as well.
Well done.

Part of what makes a campaign high magic must also be in what normal people know about magic.

In an adventure I have, set in the FR setting, a large ransom is paid out to a bunch of kidnappers, and a large quantity of the money is paid out in magical items, some of which are fairly rare, but the kidnappers had no problems naming them in any case.

In FR is it also not unusual for people who can afford it to visit temples for cure spells of various types.

A common farmer might not have the means to afford such things, but novels and adventures seem to indicate that the fact that such spells exist is fairly common knowledge.

Hmm, well, there is Kalamar, Blackmoor, Dragonlance, Jakandor, Lankhmar and Spelljammer amongst others left.

Just out of general curiosity, where on that scale would Dark Sun and Birthright be placed?

Hmm, yes, I think that is a fair point.
Indeed, since many Oracles come from primitive cultures, it would not be a far stretch to think that the simmering rage of a barbarian lurked just below the surface anyway.
But for flavour reasons I think I would take lv 2 as a Barbarian.
The green man was a force of battle, nature and vitality.
Thus battle, life or nature would be the best mystery.
I was unable to find a way to get to pick revelations from two, let alone three, so I need to decide which mystery is most fit for him.
Once that is done, I'll finish the rest up in no time.

Working on my concept now.
I had an idea for a "Green man", and by now I think the concept would work well as a raging prophet.
Just considering if I should begin as a barbarian or an oracle?

I'd certainly like another go at Kingmaker, the last campaign I was in folded unexpectedly.
We did not get all that far either I think.

Ruhk will also use a spellbook, and as long as we sometimes capture enemy spellbooks, scrolls or just simply have time to expand our own by buying spells and such it's ok if the occasional bandit get's wise and grabby.

Interesting, I'll have to dig up my old "Lands of intrigue" box for 2nd edition Forgotten realms and have a read, but I am definalty interested. Probbly be playing something that mixes martial and arcane abilties, a magus or eldrich knight maybe?

I have to bow out, turns out I am not going to have as much time as I thought. Enjoy yourselves.

Sounds interesting, I'll have something up as soon as possible.

You're not fooling anyone mate, haha.
I'm just glad Gregori is not drunk enough to misstake the camel for a goat, and the goat for a Finnish woman.

Considering the effect we are expecting from the camel bomb, did anybody bring an umbrella?

Ah, understood.

Wait, did we get a choice of extra skillpoints or hp when leveling up?

I should have hammered out the final details sometime this evening, as soon as I get home to my books.

"Ah don’ think Gregor thinks at all, by tha’ smell of it, tha’ wind o yours is comin’ out tha’ other end."

Haha, the way things are going, I'd say it's a tossup who ends up as Maggot in this crew.

Question, if we are to confront the supernatural, does that mean that one might plan to take a magic based advanced class as well? Say becoming an Acolyte?
