Hello.
TheKingsportCockroach, let's move game discussion here!
And here I am. I assume you're opening?
I will open yes. Hopefully tonight, depends how my Library Board meeting goes. Can you post your alias, so I can see the stats for your character?

Any reason you are opposed to posting as Fetch?
haha, absolutely not
Good. Not sure if the post will be up tonight but you'll be going after The Horse and Crow. I altered a few things from your fluff, to fit my own evilends. You'll be meeting a contact to gain information about where it is kept and such.
Have you read anything about Cassomir in canon?
I have, read through the wiki page, have a good idea of the major places and players in the city. Enough to justify max ranks in Knowledge (Local)
Alter away of course, sounds like a perfect start.
First post, enjoy.
Any questions, comments and such?
Only that it's awesome
Full disclosure, I stole the idea from someone else. So feel free to take it.
So I do have something I want you to ponder. How rigorous and formal do you want me to track your criminal empire, assuming you cobble together a gang and a safehouse and such?
I tend to do things informally myself so as long as there's an idea of what they're doing thats fine. I'm sure I'll ask for money from it at some point but convoluted calculations of how much money I get a week always gives me a headache.
I plan on tracking useful NPCs and such on my end... mostly ones I can reliably cast spells on and trick into doing things. I'm currently interviewing the drunk for just such a position.
A safe house is a definite goal on the list.
Awesome. I like making lots of NPCs....
I'll be out of town till Sunday night (a rarity for me), so no posts. See you then!
Hey, sorry for the radio silence! I'm getting married in less than a month and stuff keeps coming up. I was downtown for the entire day. Posting now.
Game what you hoped for so far?
Also, congrats on wedding. I got married a few years back, fun times!
Absolutely.
The married part seems fun, planning a wedding isn't my idea of a good time though. I'll be wrapped up with all of that soon though!
Hey, back from my thanksgiving outing with little to no internet! Hope your holiday was a good one. I'll be posting momentarily.
Excellent. Yes, my holiday was good.
Look forward to your post.
Everything ok in that last post? I didn't take too many liberties? I figured if you want to RP hanging out with Undermarket types, you can now instead of making you found out all that info in RP conversation.
You ok with that?
No worries about liberties, gathering info and the like can be a dull affair without some intervention. I've gotten the vibe that you're not one to do any major fiats by now, take control where you see fit.
Great introduction, just stumble over the guy.
You still around, Fetch? been awhile...
Ahem.
Kingsport?
I know getting married is busy. Don't blame you. Just post something saying you are alive and I'll wait around for you. Give me something to work with!
All right Fetch,m I'm going to give you till New Year before I look for a replacement.
Just one post in OOC is all I need.
Also, congrats on the wedding.
All right, we have begun Ludvic!
Any questions/comments please share!
Sorry for the many spelling mistakes. I had to write the post frof my phone and it changed alot of words for some reason.
Int he future, just wait until you are at a desktop or laptop. Phone typing can be messy and I'd rather know exactly what you want to say. I'd rather have a late good post then a sooner bad post!
Classy, I like it. Make the urchins pay you back.
I never said he was a nice guy. He assumes beating them with a cane would to much effort so make them scrounge and panic a bit. Never said he was not vengeful. Either they fine some thing or they get caught by some one else. Either way he gets a bit of revenge.
Me and a friend were talking about this game and he had what I think is a neat idea.
Do you want to level, not based on adventures or plot points but on money earned? It would be a neat way to chart your progress, very different then a normal game but it fits the greedy, crime angle.
What do you think? It would also inform all of the bartering and bargaining we'll be doing.
Ummmm sure that could actually work really well, I like that idea alot. It could really push the money equals power idea for the criminal underworld. Though it might get crazy since xp does get very high.

Leveling should be hard, yes. Maybe at the really high levels we'll take assets and such into account? So I can go ahead and knock up a list of you with 'cash' for each level? We'll see if we both like it. Might be a fun change from leveling after slaying an orc?
Are you enjoying the game so far? Anything you want me to change in my posting?
So far I am enjoying it alot. It's going at a nice pace and I'm excited to see how the story plays out as he works his way up.
Are you going to kill the kids?
He is going to try and train them. Making 5 gold that fast ain't bad. He needs people who know the streets. He is probably going to have to find and murder a man during the night though. Even he can't kill a child in cold blood. He's gonna buy a antitoxin for him on the way.
Building up your crew! Street urchins, a classic place to start.
Got to start small. Literally in their case. He will help mold them into good criminals as they grow.
Will post later, I'll need my guidebook to do it justice.
Take your time. Effort will always trump speed.
I have fleshed out more of the gangs, so you'll have more to work with as you, hopefully, make your mark.
As a heads up I will be out of town friday and saturday at a convention so I most likely will not be posting. Sorry for the short notice.
No worries, thanks for the warning.
There should be some action in this next part. Hoping to amp it up so far. Sorry it has been rather slow. Have to set things up first!
You killed a blind old man. Shame on you.
His body is being used for something great! his own ambition.
All good?
Also, if I find anything in that new Ultimate Intrigue book, want to try and weave it in?
Yeah i was just stuck at work today. I would be game for it, I was going to try and pick it up soon myself.
Ha! I am so used to parties of Good character, I never even thought of just betraying the whole scheme.
Love it.
Yeah at this point the five monkeys have his eye on him, a body with that mans description is floating around, and the gang is going to start chasing them. At this point it's best to turn heel and use him to gain some prestige in the gang.
I'll be out of town from April 17th to the 21st. Just a heads up!
