Alright, Dorian is done.


LOL

I tried to get into that show, I wanted to like it, I just couldn't. :(


I'd like to play a Horizon Walker I have built, starting as a Human Ranger at level 1. Focused on two-weapon melee combat and cold weather survival, which seems like it would be useful in this campaign. I'll create an alias if I'm chosen to play. Sounds like a fun campaign!


So I see Nagaji arent allowed, but does the race exist in the game? Im contemplating a Human Druid with the Naga Aspirant archetype through the use of the Racial Heritage Feat.


character all fixed up in block form, all you need to do is click on my name I use on my forms to get to the character.

Yeah its a labor of love and I haven't finished season 2 because all too often I find myself sort of stopping whatever I am doing and cocking my head at the T.V. and saying Really? They're gonna do...that? Really? and then sort of frowning to myself because I am not sure I *like* it anymore...heh.


Yeah, I had the same thing happen about 4 or 5 episodes in.

"bear" with it... Once you get used to the tone you will enjoy it


I'll apply a character for this in a little bit


Dalgar here,

I present William Scotts. A private detective strapped for cash with a photographic memory and levels in Inquisitor.

That's fine.


And just a heads up, I'll be choosing probably somewhere around early afternoon if all goes well. If not, expect the selected four to be chosen in the evening. I really want to keep it to four characters since I'll be playing this IRL with another group and want the teams to be the same size.


Sounds good GM. Good luck everybody!


Good luck all.

Sovereign Court

I always make a joke at this point about how I only want luck for me...so just assume I did that... oh and good luck everyone.

Banny's fluff, v brief backstory:
This dwarf woman looks as though she travels light, ready to leave this or that place behind her at a moment's notice with everything she owns strapped to her back. Her broad face is prematurely lined with many years spent in the cold. Her primary distinguishing features are piercing gray eyes that also show the signs of weathering, despite her relative youth, and a length of chain she wears wrapped around one forearm. If asked its purpose, she says only that it's a 'reminder', and doesn't elaborate.

Banny is a native of the northlands, with her family's clan sheltering from the snow in the deep mountains. Her life was relatively unremarkable until she and several others of her clan were captured by raiding frost giants. The survivors were used as slave labor... not all of them made it. Eventually, Banny managed to escape, but she is haunted by the others she left there, and dreams of the day she'll be strong enough to return and see the frost giants pay. For now, though, she wanders the northlands looking for work that pays well. She'll hunt giants for free, though.

Most of the time Banny is fairly brood-free. She plays well enough with others, although she has disdain for any who go into the mountains unprepared for the cold, and has worked as a guide through frozen areas. She's at her happiest when the snow is new fallen and the world seems fresh and clean, with all the ugly truths of it covered under powder.


A young human man brimming with excitement leads a laden mule forward to the recruitment desk. He is clad in studded leather armor, and thumps a longspear as he walks. "My name is Gistav Verhu, and I want to go on the expedition! I know I may not look like much, but I can quickly repair damage to both gear and fellow expedition members in the field. Here's a letter from my uncle, militia captain Corvin Verhu, from the village Revlan to the east, and another from Mayor Lornal Farren, also of Revlan, to give you a sense of who I am and what I can do. I think that every able-bodied and quick-witted person has a responsibility to help with such endeavors, and look forward to supporting the team on this expedition."

Currently GMing one other game on boards, and GMing Kingmaker on Monday evenings. Looking forward to an expedition, and happy to play the role of healer.

Grand Lodge

indeed good luck to you all


Good luck everybody!!


Alright, I'm going to start judging, probably choosing tonight since American Hustle is calling me loudly.


This is sorta right at the finishing line, so ill give the overview of my character now, while I finish making him.

He is a Halfling Tattooed Sorcerer. A blaster at heart, he is a member of a wealthy merchant family, who have plied their trade ever since the family decided to settle in a large port city. Known to be underhanded and scrupulous, the family has a reputation which is only partially deserved, with a fair few trades having been arranged with crucial information left out.

Milo Quinn is his name, gifted at birth with sorcerous powers. Third heir to his fathers empire, Milo has always been troublesome, his penchant for destruction having caused damage to both reputation and goods in the past.

When news arrived of the expedition, Milos father had him shipped off to join as soon as he heard of it, anxious to have his troublesome soon on the other side of the world. Ofcourse this wasnt what he told Milo, instead telling his son that he was sending him on a mission of great importance, namely to assess the situation in the new land, and return later with news of what opportunities for trade were to be had.

And so, here Milo is, blissfully ignorant of the real reason for his departure, but determined to make the best impression on the new world in his familys name.

Alias with crunch will be coming soon.


Here he is in all his glory. I still need to set up his equipment, what is currently there is just an artefact from when I copy pasted the format I use from another character.

About the format, its set up very much like the one you linked to, just with alot of fancy use of the Bigger, Italics and OOC modifiers. Hope its not confusing.


Alright, after much deliberating, I've come to a decision. I said I wanted a group of four and I do. Two of them.

I've selected eight individuals for their characters and for their varied classes. I apologize to those who were not selected, but as always, drop outs occur and you will be the first to contact in that case!

So, our eight chosen friends are:

Curdren Craw (Gunslinger)
Trelck Stonesoul (Fighter)

William Scotts (Inquisitor)
Banny Kneebreaker (Ranger)

Grim the Wanderer (Oracle)
Gustav Verhu (Cleric)

DR_10N Dorian (Alchemist)
Tik'klik (Sorcerer)

Now, I will open up discussion and gameplay and the very first order of business (in game) will be to form two teams of four. I will open a second game play campaign (named after your chosen group's name).

As the campaign involves a lot of exploration and overland travel, I will track the current day of each group so that if ever they cross paths or cross through areas one group has dealt with, we can handle that in game altogether.

Further questions please post in the Discussion thread.

Here's to a great game!


Ya, let's do this!


Thanks for the invite!


Boooh!
