GM Trajan's Dragonlance Heroes of the Lance PBP

Game Master gmpathfinder

Always wanted to venture into Krynn :)

I'm wondering if this concept would work: human rogue (knife master)/ sorcerer (Draconic Bloodline (silver)) - grew up on the streets of a major city until he was taken in by a seemingly harmless alchemist. Using the boy as a bodyguard and helper, the alchemist (in fact a blackrobe ) intended to use the boy for a ritual to extend his own life. To the mage's surprise the boy struck back with arcane power and fled, never looking back. He's wandered since, concealing his sorcerous ability for the most part while just trying to survive.

Welcome all. I'm really enjoying the game so far, so I hope you might also. It's not just a retelling so far, so very interesting twist.

Arknight, I think I was also waiting on you in the PFS game, but might be someone else. HERE Also, <not the DM, so don't take this as an official no>, but in this era of Dragonlance, both Dragons and Sorcerers (Wild Magic) really don't exist. They do, but extremely unheard of. Dragons are legends, and Sorcerers (spontanious magic) is about a handfull of people on the planet, if that.

Corerue, I think the DM is pretty open to things, but as mentioned above, there is no history of dragons at this point in time in Krynn. Sort of like in the real world, no one believes they actually ever existed.

Hu'tonkton, I like what you have done. <again, I'm not DM>, but isn't that a huge distance to wander in search of a healer? I actually forget, but aren't the Kagonesti secretely on a whole different continent? Just curious, maybe you are from a tribe much closer.

Anyway, I hope you all get in. We could use yor individual talents and I hope you all can enjoy the game also. :)

Beckett - thanks for the feedback. I've read all of the posts up to the present and am hopeful to get in. It looks awesome.

My thinking on Hu's background is a bit inspired by Riverwind's story, in that he set out in search of the impossible, and has been about it for a long time. I wasn't intending him to be from a different continent, but thought a Kagonesti elf might be interesting to play.

In my mind he has been wandering for a long time, doing the odd bit of work for food but mostly living off the land. He comes now to Solace, either for the first time or to reunite with those he'd met 5 years ago. I think it might be more interesting if this was his first time to Solace, but will go with whatever the DM thinks is the best fit, if I get in.

I noticed the Riverwindness, and I kind of like it, honestly. As far as the distance, something I mentioned in another thread is maybe you could be an elf (family) raised by the plainsmen?

I will work on a back story when I get more time.

Rough story is he is a disillusioned knight who had been betrayed by his previous order. When the betrayal came he took it hard and resigned his position among his traitorous fellows, but when they wouldn't accept his resignation from their order. They sought to take his life and he left a trail of blood when he fought his way free.

I noticed the Riverwindness, and I kind of like it, honestly. As far as the distance, something I mentioned in another thread is maybe you could be an elf (family) raised by the plainsmen?

I'm wiiling to rework the background as needed. I haven't read the books in a long time, so my knowledge of the world is a bit rusty. Hopefully that is not a problem.

I don't think it's so much a problem as a little odd. Lets see what the Dm thinks before changing anything.

I think the 'class' barbarian is broad enough to be applied to different archetypes- you could be a brutish pugilist from the city who rages in battle too, so I think an Kagonesti would definitely fit. As for the distance- a storm took his small boat off course, landing him near Solace. The island the elves are on is just a bit northwest of where we're starting.

Corerue, Hu'tonkton - feel free to join us over at the gameplay/discussion threads.

Arknight- the concept sounds interesting. A sorcerer 'protected' from the High Order by a black robe, who intends to use them for their own devices (ala Fistandulus). Sorcery could exist- they're just hunted to extinction by the High Order. Wild magic was contained when the Grey Gem was secreted away, and the three gods of magic keep most wild powers in line- but it's not so crazy to think that someone with a dragon bloodline might manifest some powers. Roll it up?

Cool beans, all.

@Beckett - Yep, that's me... I thought that I'd gotten the character done, but no such luck. I'm trying to get him worked up now... I'm hoping this bit of gaming will imspire me to finish him. :)

@GM Trajan - Cool. :) I'll get him worked up and see if I can expand on the background a little...

TC

GM Trajan I hate to do this but I have to withdraw =/ For the next couple of weeks i'm going to be busy interviewing and moving about for a new job. Sorry for holding things up for your game but I didn't feel right to lead you on further. I wish I had posted sooner but I just got word today. =/

Hopefully in the future I can apply again, I will Dot your game and watch if thats alright with you.

Good luck to Arknight and Hu'!

Awesome. Thanks for including me!

Corerue, Best of luck on the job interview(s)!

Corerue, I wish you blessing and luck with your interviews and search. :)

Arknight, feel free to wander over to the game thread!

Hu's HP roll:

[roll]2d12[/roll]

oops..

Hu's HP roll:

2d12 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

@Beckett - Yep, that's me... I thought that I'd gotten the character done, but no such luck. I'm trying to get him worked up now... I'm hoping this bit of gaming will imspire me to finish him. :)

There is still room. Just let me know.

Is this game still recruiting?

Is this game still recruiting?

Look at the dates, friend. This game was recruiting back in 2011.

If you investigate a little, you'll find that it died in 2012.

How did you even find this recruitment thread anyways?
