Aliases
In getting your aliases together, I'd like you to throw some stats into the happy gray lines under your name for easy reference. It's a pain to remember how to get stuff to show up properly -I always forget- but they display in this order: Gender, Class/Levels, Race.
Here's a premade blank for you. Just replace the x with your stuff. The three before perception are for any novel senses you have.
Gender:
HP x/x | AC xx, T xx, FF xx | CMD xx | F +x, R +x, W +x | Init +x | xxx; Perception +x
You can do your classes, races, etc too but those are the ones I'm going to need all the time. Generally defensive abilities (immunities, situational bonuses, etc) are more helpful for me there, because you'll remind me of your attacks on-demand. :)
Formatting
When speaking IC, please bold text in addition to the quotation marks. That jumps out a bit more from the rest on what are visually fairly noisy boards. Similarly if putting a rules question or something like that in the same post with IC stuff, please use the ooc tags.
Iym the one your parents warned you about.
Greetings and congratulations to all!!!
I will be setting up the Gameplay post relatively soon (hopefully by tonight, possibly tomorrow)
If you want to coordinate backgrounds or fine-tune your PCs, feel free to do so.
Again, congratulations to all!
Thank you for taking the time to be a GM.
I am honored to be among those chosen.
Thanks for the selection Dragon!
I'll get my avatar set and my first gameplay post in when I get back from vacation, psyched for this one for sure!
Well this was a good morning to wake up to. Dragon, thank you for the selection.
Thank you for the selection, Dragon! Looking forward to gaming with you!
Glad to be here. :) This should be a great game.

Yes, Dragon is an excellent GM!
I shall update to what is correct when home. Thank you and I look forward to playing with you all
Does anyone wish to have backstories line up, or are we just wanderers who just happened to feel the call of adventure?

I'll take a look at everyone layer and see whay makes sense with Pero.
Background-wise:
Nivian performs at the Halfway Inn, telling stories and singing songs largely about ancient Cormanthyr. She is also bonded to a nearby lake or river.
The most likely thing is that you've seen her at the Inn. Unlikely but possible that you could have spotted her or spoken to her near the water if you had reason to be there.
Anyone else from the Dales? Henris is a fairly new arrival at the Halfway Inn, so he hasn't met that many people.
Sarrissa is basically a run away princess, kinda. Isolated for most of her life, she has grown bored and when presented with a unique opportunity, jumped at the chance to get out and not only see the world, but hopefully learn something about her past. She's only ever really had contact with elves and struggles when dealing with anything else. She has a spirit protector who fell at Myth Drannor and has been following her family for centuries since and is basically her only friend.

Since I am here looking for a cure to a disease, based on the ancient elven culture, if anyone made it obvious they were travelling here for that reason I could have been a companion of theirs
I just realized - I'm the token half-breed. Fun for me, then!
Also three of us are different shades of Bard. Just noticed that, too.

I think we would at least be acquaintances Nivian as Pero uses the Inn as a place to gather information.
Pero is an Evereskan Tomb Guard who grew up in Evereska so if none of you hail from there or are traveling to the Halfway Inn for the first time, it's doubtful you would know Pero.

Practically n'tel'quess. Disgusting!
Oh dang, I didn't even see the gameplay had started!
That's OK, I haven't been able to check games since Sun.. so... it all worked out?!
Nice! Also, just in case anybody is curious about the change, I updated Herrnarrell's avatar to better reflect his heritage.
For consistancy's sake, is it Myrin or Myrrin for the proprieter?
Let's say Myrrin. Which what it is in Volo's Guide
Ah, I don't have that. I was going off of the wiki. But that's why I asked.
Question: For conversations such as between me and Henris right now, should we still abide by one post per day or is that just the minimum? I'd hate to accidentally end up getting ahead of others just because we happen to have more time to review the thread, but also wouldn't want to hold anybody up because we were talking amongst ourselves.
Oh gosh, that's a minimum. Go nuts if you wan tot take it!
you guys seem to be having a lot of fun getting to know each other. I'll let that goa bit more and then advance the plot [DUN DUN DUN].. by saturday night/sunday
Pero will wait for his answer from the NPC before moving forward. If he is able to listen in on the conversation between the elves that gather together he will but will not respond as his current interest is in the cloaked figures. Discussion of Myth Drannor will catch his attention but not cause him to be rude and walk away from his main contact here at the Halfway Inn.
I whoops sorry abu that will get on that!

No worries, just figured it might be a plot point that was triggered as part of an event which is why you were waiting on it, glad I said something! :-)
Also, you guys are super-awesome!
I really like the dialogue and interaction you have going on here.
SUPER COOL!
Nothing like two haughty Gold's trading well mannered barbs! :-)

It's not Iym's fault that Pero is so untutored that he's flaunting a kiira. :)
Also he has no idea that he's being a touch rude.
Hah, not untutored just stubborn and overconfident. Not elven traits at all!

Must've picked 'em up from a dwarf. Or some other Not Person.
He's going to lose his s%#$ when he learns your real name. :)
Dunno if it's going to be used, (though I assume he was chosen for a reason) but one half of Herrnarrell's purpose is to discover whether his family is one of the minor Starym lines. Could be interesting since it seems all of the Moon Elves in the Starym family have been cowards, cheats, and murderers.
Also, I'll make a post in the morning when I get my first break at work. I should have been in bed an hour ago.
Life ran away from me, update tonight
This is the link for the roll20 map.
We're just going to use it for visuals and moving and stuff. The gameplay thread here will have the actual posts and stuff like that.
please go to roll20 and set yourself up in the game
once you do that, i'll link you to your avatars
I think I'm in
Sooo what's everybody waiting on?
Personally? For everyone to wrap up the evening so I can have my breakfast meeting with Nehama.

Dragon can sometimes go silent for a bit but he always comes back! ;-)

He's been very RL busy lately.
I'm willing to wait. DAF comes up with great stories and characters, so it's worth it.
i'm sooo sorry
for the wait!!!
i got in an accident and my RL life has been soooo busy!!!
Are you okay? The accident wasn't too bad?
Sorry to hear about the accident. I hope no one was hurt.
I'm ok. Caden's to have only taken cosmetic damage
