Oh, and I guess a question after looking over character sheets (Surprisingly a low number of Strength submissions).
Do we get just the highest Start Wealth from one of the classes, or from both?
cap of light plus it doesn't use up a whole valueable pound of encumberance.
*Sniff* Encumberance? What is this encumbrance when you have a Steamsuit to walk around in?
"Medium suits give the pilot a lifting and carrying capacity as if she/he had a Strength of 60, and grants her/him a speed of 40 feet. This effective Strength score does not affect the pilot's skill or ability checks, nor her/his attack or damage rolls."
... Of course Jasper needs to get his hands on the materials and parts to make his Steamsuit first ... so maybe that encumbrance bit still applies.
There is a difference between smog and "pollution so heavy it's always night". ^^ Still! Seems like a lot of fun in general, and with a different tone than I usually play. I am okay with that.
I have no bought equipment yet, I am waiting on gun prices still.
also if it is the same as the WotR game we get max gold from both classes.
I am working on a new character concept right now. I thought about Talon, but I kind of stopped with the story for now. was starting to get too long and I was making him way more powerful than I wanted.
for those that want here is the story of Talon so far
I'm wondering how much gold we get also so I haven't bought anything yet.
I'm interested in this, if there's still time. Just trying to get my head around some interesting gestalt combinations!
Yesterday early morning was the latest post under his gm alias.
my hopes are not very high at the moment
It's probably worth noting that TSP has mentioned Thursdays as being IRL game days, where he doesn't really get online... so I'm expecting to hear something tomorrow.
Lol why do people give up so easily?
He said he'd been heaps busy, high chance that could be the same reason now. It's barely been a day.
Yup, definitely need to have patience. I still need to put together Sophia together still, so I'm ok with the lull.
i know, patience, i am not giving up I just want to finish Rose's sheet, and am waiting on some info.

So I said I'm sitting this one out? I lied, I'm totally submitting.
Brave adventurers. Noble Warriors. Crafty Magicians. He knew them all. Dying wives, mourning fathers, love, loss, pain, and revenge; he knew them as well. He told their stories, laughed with their friends, loved their wives, children, and lessons; but he had never seen them.
Hashmal the wanderer -- or Hashmal the Lame, a vagrant fancying himself more of a poet than shaman, lived through the borrowed greatness of others. Since he was young he was able to hear the dreaming voices, bards and poets of Eladrin speaking through the ages to him. He was able to speak before any of the other children his age; and rather than stumble through rudimentary sounds and syllables, he spoke in full sentences: reciting the greatest literature of Eladrin, Elves, and Men. Stories, songs, and poems; epics, folklore, and elegies, he held on loosely to the lore of the ancients, giving it away freely to all who would hear his voice.
Half born to a people laid low by the Victories, half born to another brought high by their machines, Hashmal lived a life fully divorced from both. Though he knew their stories, he never quite knew them. Days were spent shambling about Flint, telling his stories and making coin here and there. Nights were spent in bohemian enclaves, dreaming of a white beast stalking the moon. His life was inconsequential, his own story mundane, until they came for him.
They, they, the ominous they, ripped him from his sleep, took him into the dreaming and showed him its nightmares. He saw the fall of Srasama. He watched as she and her lands were ravaged into ruin and felt her dark hope for revenge. Hanging under a harvest moon, the ruin of Elfaivar was laid at his feet. his ruin was laid at his feet. The ruin of those who brought this to his people hung high above his head, just out of grasp. Though there was a process, he knew on that day that he had been initiated. He was a Vekeshi Mystic. A dreaming scion of both a dying race and an ascendant one. Veiling himself in prophetic armor he returned to the streets of Flint, made anew and ready to fulfill his life’s purpose. His was an ancient race, one that knew revenge was best served by living, by striving in spite of extinction. Thus that day Hashmal the Wanderer became Hashmal the Ascendant, though he was still known to those who had not shared his terrible dream as Hashmal the Lame.

I'm back everyone!
This is a general announcement for everyone in one of my campaigns or recruitment.
The screen on my phone was shattered, which has prevented me from posting in the past like week because I have not been able to scroll down a webpage with a cracked screen. I took a picture of my phone with a friends phone, so if anyone is interested in me verifying that it was a real problem, I can post it and provide a link. I know it's not necessary, but I don't like just telling people that there is a problem without offering some sort of proof. I feel it helps you all to trust that I tell the truth, since some people are compulsive GM-slackers.
I SHOULD be good on posting until around September 2nd, when I go to the endocrinologist for my appointment. Obviously on Thursdays I will not be posting, but that had already been mentioned.
I will be working through my discussions and recruitments todays, so I will not be posting until tomorrow.
WOTR PEOPLE! I was curious why no one replied to the post, now I figure out it it never actually posted! Second campaign that happened to before the phone incident (Second one in a month's time, if I recall!). SOON YOU SHALL FACE THE UNENDING LEGIONS UNDER MY COMMAND, MORTALS! SOON SHALL YOU TASTE THE MIGHT OF THE MASTER OF THE ABYSS!
He has returned.
I don't need "proof" I trust you, I just hope things get better.
I'm back everyone!

ZG PEOPLE! Answers for your questions below!
Wealth: Max gold for the class that has the highest starting gold value! And obviously, I'm waiving weight for coinage and other forms of currency, though not items that ACT as currency. Example: 10,000 gold has no weight, but a painting worth the same weighs, say, 5 pounds. Make sense? Also, for those interested in crafting items, I have a system for breaking down existing magic items to create arcaanum residue, which is highly portable like coins and is used to waive much of the gold costs for magic items and substantially reduces crafting time! You will need Spellcraft to be able to create or use arcaanum residue, however!
El Ronza, yes there is enough time! Likely leaving recruitment open for 3 days! Those selected will have additional time to finish characters before the campaign.
CR500Cricket, those archetypes are fine! Be aware, however, that morality is a VERY grey area in games like this. I would suggest forming a code of 13 'firm' tenets for the paladin to uphold and run them by me. This way, only violating these will cause a loss of powers. There are many situations where being forced to choose the lesser of two evils in many campaigns causes paladins to fall otherwise. Why 13 tenets? It sounds like a good number to me, because I just got through with Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, the remastered version for PS3! No, seriously, it is why, because I wanted a solid number and the number 13 is important anyway. Why is it important? That's for you to find out, isn't it? :P Also, Githzerai stats are forthcoming!
WOLead, what, polluting a Fey forest come back to haunt the nation? I have no idea where you get that idea! :P
Hey Princey! A question then for you. How crazy can our characters be as in design and not literally? :)
(WOLead here)
"I am not INSANE or MA.... oh wait, you weren't talking about me..."
Anyways, I think a few people are still waiting on the Firearm prices, probably 1-handed from the looks of it though.
I am interested in the details about this arcaanum residue and how it works, especially the reducing crafting time part.
This version of Jasper seems to be wanting to stick around. I know I've pondered over other combinations, many more combat capable, its just I always seem to come back to this version.
Lastly, glad to hear from you again GM.
Postscript:
"Wait, what do you mean 'polluting' a fey forest? We are, um, we are feeding it all the CO2, Ash, and other exotic materials it needs to thrive. Now all those lazy idiots who just toss their waste and garbage into it needs an arrow to the knee as a lesson why that is not a good idea."
Jasper, what makes you think I care about combat optimization lol? I much prefer a well-thought-out character with a good backstory to cookie-cutter death machine #9,578, so you're fine. I'm about to go to bed, so remind me later about the arcaniss residuum (Yes, I changed the name lol!).
FIREARMS AND FIREARM MODIFICATIONS FORTHCOMING TODAY! Mods like scopes, underbarrels, ect. will be available.
ANYONE WHO HAS UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, PLEASE REPOST THEM!
True, didn't think of it that way. Just a part of me really wants to play as the "Doctor of Death" approach of a Vivisectionist Alchemist combined with The Monk of the Empty Hand. Improvised weapons galore while the mad doctor calmly describes what organ or pressure point he just wounded did.
Maybe another gestalt I can pull it off. Tinkerer Jasper the not quite mad is on the case!
I was just waiting on firearms..looking for ones like the ones I sent via PM.
Another game with you?! Oh my gosh! I will SO be trying to come up with something fast like.

Hey Princey! A question then for you. How crazy can our characters be as in design and not literally? :)
Well he is allowing 3rd party stuff, so that should tell you something, but don't go for pure power, it isn't that kind of game. Go for roleplaying, power isn't bad, but fluff is what will get you in, especially with something semi-private.
I wonder how meany are going to want Steamreaver weapons lol? They're pretty awesome... who doesn't want a Cyclone Hammer, a Magmaxe, or a Thunder Sword?
Hey there RVT and ShadowyFox! *Waves mechanical arm*!
Apologies it's taken so long to post today, by the way.
CR500Cricket, there ARE some pirates in the setting. It's not at the same level as Skull and Shackles or Razor Coast though. Why do you ask?
I CLAIMZ THE GOLEMOID! ME WANTZ STEAMREAVER GOODIES! Reminds me of Blazblue and Guilty Gear weapons.
Any thoughts as to what I Pm'd you about for Rose?
Take a look at some of the firearms listed in the PDFs, because there is a TON of them! Or was there something else? Sorry, getting caught up on everything lol.
ok
Huh, I'm going to have a spend some time looking over this to see what I can grab for Jasper to fit in better. The Pure Steam guide is already making me think alone.
I too will need time to lok things over in those books.
I am not sure on some of the firearms there, (didn't really look them over in too much detail)
I may end up just using the standard advanced firearms from Piazo. but re-name / change the physical look for my idea.
Same thing here, I'll look that stuff over a bit. I don't anticipate Neliel being the gun-wielding person, but there might be something in there that she'd be excited about as far as machinery and tech in general.
For reference, here's what we've got so far submission-wise. If I've made any errors or missed a character, let me know!
