sorry for my absence gang. You just wouldn't even believe it. I'll catch up and post.
No worries, I generally give people a month before I hunt them down... er... PM them to see what's up.
Don't mean to be impatient just wondering if we should push on?

I think we are about to! :-)
I passed out early last night else I would have updated and we would have been moved on by now.
If someone doesn't explain why we're arming a Mitran real fast, a certain ogre is going to start smashing goody-goody squires.
I don't mean to undermine all the cool roleplay that just happened, but ol' Jack is not much for subtlety or motive-sensing.
Because right now he thinks we're also Mitrans, so he will fight for us. I'll take an extra body any day.
Although we might need to be careful when we find this Sir Balin.
GM, did you catch my question IC about how long he had been in there?
No, sorry bout that, I will go back to it now.
yeah...just a brutal time in the design schedule, plus prep for the big Kickstarter coming up, which I hope you'll all be into.
Tell me about it, all of my projects keep crashing in at the same time. I used to b able to post from work but the past few weeks i have been so busy I can only post at night assuming I stay awake long enough to post!
checking in. I'm here. Just waiting until after the snakes before I start smashing things.
Yep not everyone posted and I was out later than I expected to be last night, will update tonight with those PC's who have yet to post as well as my pretties...
Shalewigg has not posted I/C in nearly two months so I will be re-recruiting for her spot. A new player will join you once the Nine Lessons chapter has concluded.
can I delay my initiative till after Grumble. It makes very little sense for me to try to attack here.

Sure but if you delay the Cobra goes next.
thats fine
Will push forward later tonight don't have the book at work.
I am currently recruiting to replace Shalewigg. I would like the input of the players to pick their next companion in crime.
Recruitment is over this Friday evening so on Friday/Saturday take a look at what everyone has come up with and let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
Are you asking for player or character recommendations?
Are you asking for player or character recommendations?
A review of the submission is what I am looking for, nothing to analytical just a preference but if you have experience with a player who made a submission that is helpful too. At least one player submitting a character plays in another one of my games so I am familiar with that person already.
My basic criteria for new recruits is that they don't step on the toes of existing character concepts. Ideally a new player should try to fill a niche we don't have covered.
So far, Virgil the half-orc Ranger/Mesmerist seems most fitting to me. Unless someone else comes in with a really fantastic concept, he'll be my suggestion.
A basically concur with the above.
I definitely have a preference for a strong arcane caster, but I'm more interested in a rich character.
Now that I've seen the more complete character sheet, I agree.

The Witch would fill the exact slot that Shalewigg had fulfilled.
From my personal experience the lack of an arcane caster would be felt, and I also enjoy the backstory and feel the witch character would be a great addition.
My Wicked Villains, the submissions for your newest compatriot are:
1. Pink Eye. Aasimar Cleric 1/ Barbarian 1 (Invulnerable Rager/Beast Totem/Elemental Totem) submitted by Edelsmirge.
2. Virgil Geryon 1/2 Orc Ranger 1/Mesmerist 1(Trapper/Divine Tracker) submitted by Dorian Grey.
3. Morana Soto Human Female Spiritualist 1/ Witch Gravewalker 2 submitted by Death's Adorable Apprentice.
4. Jace Cuthran Elf Wizard 2/Swashbuckler 1 submitted by Barebates.
Currently I have:
Edelsmirge playing in my Vampire game where he is a strong player and strong poster.
Death's Adorable Apprentice in my Cthulhu game and she is also a strong player in a campaign that initially is tough on female characters (1933 was not a kind time for women stepping out of their familiar roles!).
The other two I am unfamiliar with but that of course should not be held against them.
I know initial impressions were:
Virgil 1 vote (Grumblejack).
Morana 2 votes (Nathaniel & Vaundour).
Arcane Caster 1 vote (which would be filled by Jace --- Lothyrin).
I would like to hear your thoughts Soren. If anyone else has changed their vote based upon final character submission let me know that as well. If there is a tie, I will break the tie.
Now I am off to update the main thread mayhem...
I'm gonna have to vote for Morana myself, honestly. She can partially fill the caster role as a witch, and that backstory is wonderful and terrifying. She made a poppet out of her dead son, what's not to love?
The other submissions look cool, but that has to be my favorite.
Nate and Vaundour if you can confirm your votes then Morana is our new replacement player.
I agree!
I wanted to vote for Morana as well actually, the backstory snagged me.
Works for me.
That totally depends on you Vaundour ;)
Thank you so very much for the vote and the chance to get to play. This is the fourth attempt I have made at getting into the Way of the Wicked. I am super excited. I am very excited to get to take a PC down a dark and twisted path. Something I have never had the chance to do outside of GMing.
I need to finish up my equipment which is almost done.
Shining Host am I able to take the Consorting with the Dark Powers (Witchcraft) trait since I am also taking the Marked by Unknown Forces one and a Witch technically partakes of witchcraft and the Patron is an unknown force? Also do you have any ideas on what you would like the symbol to be?

Yes it should be interesting to see these characters at close to 20th level.
Yes go ahead.
Yep, the Symbol of Asmodeus slightly modified.
I will have a post up for you tomorrow. You will be going solo while the others finish the Nine Lessons crawl or roll as Chamber 6 has so lovingly revealed.
Delightful. I love that trait it has great role play potential.
PBP makes the solo stuff so much easier. My RL game I am in is lagging because of the solo stuff. I look forward to getting started!
So would she have been able to deduce that it is a slightly modified symbol of Asmodeus?
Also a little stuck on the base stats for the Poppet. What do you want me to use?
Poppets aren't animate (unless you animate them later with Animate Object).
They're essentially a kind of doll. Google Witchcraft Poppet for some cool images of them.
Don't worry Vandour; if she doesn't threaten your manhood, you can be certain I will continue to do so.

This is why I like you.
I failed to read so the word inanimate is in the first sentence. Ignore my previous questions.

I aim to please.
Update for Morana when I get home tonight.
Ok her sheet is all filled out and I do not think I missed anything.
Welcome, I apologize for being absent work hit me hard, and family had me tied down, I am now ready, does anyone need more healing.
Sorry for the delay guys my night got sidetracked, I will update in the morning tomorrow as I have the day off from work.
Just an FYI, I will be busy all weekend into Monday. My last post will be tomorrow at some point and then I will be back to posting on Monday evening.
Is it ok that I put two spoilers for different options?

Yep speeds things up! :-)
