I've got some ideas, but I would like to know if they work with what you have in mind for the Black Sheep role.
- Human Paladin of Shelyn sent to Lyon's Brook after her father turned out to be a Kuthite heretic. Has lived in Lyon's Brook for the past few years
- Tiefling Fighter on the run from the secretive branch of the Thrune family and the hellknight order she had been training with. Has also lived in Lyon's Brook for the past few years.
- Half-elf Magus(Bladebound) rumored to be someone's illegitimate child. Grew up in Lyon's before disappeared for a year and coming back with a strange sword and book.
- Changeling Witch who lives on the edge of town and is the subject of all kinds of nasty rumors. Lusia holds a grudge against her for some reason.

** spoiler omitted **
Either of the last two would work great.

Cool! I think I’ll be going for the last one. Never played a witch before.
Completed submissions so far:
Black Sheep: —-
Average Joe: half-orc soulbound summoner
Looks like I’ll need to extend the deadline. I’ve just discovered that my weekend is going to be absolutely bonkers so I would t be able to do much until Monday anyway, so let’s try pushing that deadline to Sunday evening.
Sorry, I keep flitting around a few different ideas. I think I know what I'm going to go for now. Just too tired to work on the PM.
PM sent about an idea for the black sheep.
I'm going to bow out. I'm having trouble figuring out how to get what I want, and it's pretty much stalled me out trying to get the mechanics to fit the concept I have.
Black Sheep: half-orc warpriest of Irori
Average Joe: half-orc soulbound summoner, human wood kineticist
I have a completed Grahm profile, but at the request of the initial recruitment post, I will avoid sharing it until the it is over, as to avoid influencing anyone's build.
Varian, Grahm, and Kieran, you can put stats in profiles, just don’t publicly include the background and personality information. The idea is for players to get to know the PCs organically like the characters do.
The three locals would know of Grahm, being Sir Eustus’ Ward, but nothing really about him. He’s been in town a few times, always in company with Sir Eustus and/or his butler Halvers.
The campaign literally starts with Kieran’s arrival in town, so nobody knows anything about him at all.
Of course, I will need to create a slightly altered version of the Rogue’s Gallery for the second table, to remove some families I only added because of PCs in the first table, and to add NPCs for the second group.
Would it be Okay for Varian to have more known about him? Its kinda his shtick. haha. Likely anyone living in the village would know at least half of Varian's antics.
Oh yes, everybody knows Varian, the golden boy who can do no wrong.
I have considered all the options, and have elected to invite Marcus the warpriest of Irori, Black Sheep of Lyon’s Brook, and Thraag, the soul-bound summoner, Average Joe. Here is the discussion thread where you five players can say hi, and you can also dot the gameplay thread.
Roburro, thank you for the submission, and best of luck in finding a game.
We are recruiting for a new Pride of Lyon’s Brook. Our previous golden child has been forced to retire from adventuring to take care of his family after the small matter of his brother nearly being sacrificed by a mentally-unbalanced druid, and we are looking for his successor.
PCs are at level 2 at the moment. Creation criteria are at the top of the thread. Feel free to read through the Rogue’s Gallery and build something that would fit the setting.
Yup!
The Pride of Lyon’s Brook is a local, well-liked local youth, not even having to be particularly heroic. He or she is just one of those people that everybody likes, which implies high Charisma, but isn’t required to be if their local actions are the root of their universal popularity.
As an example, the character being replaced is a shepherd boy known for being kind, following the rules, and always volunteering to help when needed, with chores big or small.
Mhmm, definitely looking for a hero type. Most of our PCs are fairly young, close to around their early 20s to just barely over.
I was in the last, second group as Kieran, the blind Life Oracle, before it stopped. If there is a spot in the other group and it continued, I could level him to level 2? I always kind of regretted it stopped, with the now uncommon small village setting and so much detail to the npc's.
Obviously, his background was made to be the stranger back then, so if Golden Child is a hard requirement then something else would have to be designed or the background redone.
Sorry, forgot to post that the recruitment had closed. Will definitely keep you in mind if we need any future spots filled however.
