The SSI games I remember playing were Dark Sun: Shattered Lands, Eye of the Beholder, Strongholds, and Champions of Krynn. There were others like Unlimited Adventures and Dungeon Hack, but I think I only played those in passing.
Chrono Trigger is one of my personal faves. To Far Away Times still gives me chills. On the PC side I got into BGII and Planescape Torment. Been blessed to have played such classics.
Baldur's Gate holds a very special place in my heart. Very, very excited for Pillars of Eternity and Torment: Numenera as well!
never like balders gate really. Kept having my fighters wiped out by my own mages fireballs, very embarrassing.

Could everyone copy your character image and place them on the foundry tavern map above. Just copy your character avatar icon and paste it on the map, then resize it appropriately. Anody, I have already done yours as a test so you don't need to do this.
Don't worry about where you put it on the map as I will arrange it once we start to use it.
Any problems, just ask.
I have also set up a preliminary loot sheet. All links are at the top of the page
GM - could you place Sharae as well (you can place her close to the Professor as they will be deep in conversation) - I am posting via iPhone / iOS and manipulation of images is in the 'too hard basket'. I can do computer type stuff in the evenings...just not right now
No problem
I am also unable to paste my image in. I believe it might be because it is set to view only?
Well my net just crashed and I'm reduced to a phone. Sorry about that. I'll sort it out when my computer is back on line.
Very much correct, but holy crap I just realized that your name is Ayla. No way could there be two Chrono Trigger references in the same game? What are the odds? My mind is sufficiently blown...
I am unhealthily obsessed with the 16-bit era of RPGs, more specifically Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger. My acutal alias is sixteenbiticon, a nod to the iconic games of that era.
Oh, and my son's middle name is Locke. :)
Would of been a better match if I was a Bloodrager, Barbarian or Brawler.
Yeah unfortunately have very limited access to google docs while at work. Ditzie is the only thing that works reliably.

I can't seem to paste in my avatar, as I don't the steps to do so, or google drive is being an jerk.
Looks like sharing on both google docs is set to public / "view only".
First render is done
Sharae_R0
Second Render done
Criek_Prisil_R0
I would, however, assume that Valia and Criek (who I am under the impression knew each other in some fashion before our adventure began? Valia has supported this in-game, but I have yet to see Criek acknowledge it) know his true identity.
I am happy to be anyone's stranger or colleague. For the recruitment it made sense to me that all of us who are doubles from Barrakus might already know each other.
Nothing concrete yet on the Criek+Valia Bro'ing out. All improv unless you want hooks for things to come Chillblame.
True that. I am kinda liking the just woke up in the desert and walked into town aspect of this character. I was going to fill in some time between his awakening and the present, but I think I'll keep it this way.
Maybe he woke up literally just before the flame went out and Valia was the first person he encountered after trudging into Torch.
I like it...gives him / it more opportunity to explore / grow into his character...and be shaped by events...
I have a few more things I'd like to do with Sharae's backstory...probably just a few flashbacks to her encounter with the Android upon arriving into Numeria...maybe he did some kind of 'mind-meld' with her and imparted / deposited some information about his past...I'll only have these 'vignettes' come up when there are lulls in the story / action or if I want a break from writing purely about Sharae...
Ayla being a local would likely know those that came into Torch before.
As long as we can come to with reasons why the town council would choose to summon us I think our backstories can work great. Maybe someone from town council saw you and realized you were an android with good fighting ability.
And the renders look very very good Ayla.
After all party members have a render (and finalised), Then I make two renders, one is a Height Ref, and the other is a fun group shot.
If you want some changes, you can ask for them.

Third Render Done
Valia_R0
I dig the renders! Two items, though I know you said you're especially limited in available source material for Criek. First, does the rat model have a tail? :) Second, depending on your level of color control, possible to make chin and nose whiter?
Valia - I'm happy to roll with some shared history, especially if it gives me a way to explain my random martial weapon proficiency.

Yes the tail is on, look behind the legs.
As for material control, not much with body materials which would require some texture work and lots of trial and error on my part.
OK, back online. We seemed to have a server crash or something. I have reset the map and loot sheet, but I will copy and paste your avatars.
You should be able to access the document now. Sorry for the delay.
1) Whoop Whoop
2) @Criek: Sure, it would be really cool to have shared archery lessons with your PC
Player positions are on the map.
Anody you are up
Forth render done
R-66Y_R0
Very nice!
Friend Chillblame, what are the actual hurdles for me to try and dive through the windows of the cottage at the north end of the map?
Through the north window?
Well the main hurdle is that it would take you about two rounds to get there, another to enter the window and you could act on the fourth round. So time I guess.
Now the window on the south side of the building could be done in one round, as a sort of charge, except you don't attack at the end you dive through the window. You need to make a DC 15 acrobatics check and you will end up prone. AC modification will be as if you charges (-2), also prone penalties, but it may surprise whoever is in the room. (perception check)
If it worked it would also be awesome!
:)
That's the one, south window of North Building.
I will draw my weapon before attempting that, however.
Cool
I have had a smile on my face all day from that jump, on an online rpg forum, of all things.
You know, no matter how it turns out, that action is worth bonus xp to the party.
Still robot go thump on your head a bit.
In two levels, Valia will still be drooling from headwound.
"Pretay Fhlowah."
Tree good, fire bad!
No initiative, right chillblame?
Crazy, crazy day today. Probably won't get a post up until tomorrow. If you want to bot Ardash, he would drop his bow and move inside, power attacking with his greatsword.
Beastie be dead.
what about initiative?
Didnt roll initiative, but if it's dead, then no need!
And here's the fifth render
Anody_Gearon_R0
and The final 6th render
Ayla_Noya_Aiba in her armour.
If you really want to get into specifics (and I won't hold it against you if you don't) I pictured Ardash to have a very average build, so maybe tone down the quads, pecs, and biceps. His physical power comes from his construction as an android, not from the amount of muscle mass he has. Also, he was supposed to have shoulder-length light brown hair?
I missed the hair part, and I'll tone down the muscle.
Edit: Reduced as much muscle as I could before I hit the base shape, it's about 1/3 to 1/2 in muscle removed.
