Well I hate to be the one, but I think I will drop out of this game. Sorry to you all, but I never really got a feel for my character and the faster pace of the game play always was making me feel like I was behind. Feel free to run her as an NPC if you wish. Thank you all for such a great game experience and best of luck on your further adventures!! Daniel
Surprised by the anger of the official and his two orge guards, Ulrich attempts to disarm the volatile situation. "My lord! Please excuse us for our crass and boorish behaviour. We meant no insult but we also are poor visitors to this city and do not have 4 Krone to pay such a fine." Bluff (Fel)29:
Ulrich's eyes reflect the many points of light from the night-time city windows. "It is almost unbelievable..so many people in such a small area...and look, look! Some of those buildings are over 3 stories high...amazing!" He looks back at Josef and his family and a pang of homesickness strikes him as he remembers the farmers and village people of his little village. "I thank you for your help in delivering me safely to the city. If ever I can help you or yours, just let me know! I go to embrace my future!" He gathers up his gear and awaits with the rest of the passengers.
Here is Venssa...hope she fits in!!
Calhoun stands in the basement of the church, using the vinegar solution that started all this mess to clean the letters of the foreign language on the mysterious stone.
He continues to mumble on in elvish and common, but his mask muffles his voice.
The guide moves out with the others and his fear grows as they get closer and closer to the crowd.
OK, so I will start with you, Black Dow. First, have to decide which colligate path you wish to follow. I assume it is the Arcane Lyceum, as this is the normal path for wizards. Next, you need to be able to pay for the schooling...and lucky you, you have a Patron. This allows you to "ask" your Patron to fund your schooling. You will "owe" your Patron and adds a great hook for later adventures! PATRON TUITION TESTS:
If successful, you have someone willing to pay your way through school otherwise you will need to go into debt to pay for the schooling. ENTRANCE TEST:
If you succeed, congratulations! Your 1st season will be spent in the halls of education. Continue to COLLEGIATE PATH PHASE II: COLLEGE SEASON. If you fail, you cannot proceed further in the Collegiate path. Instead, you must skip to VOCATIONAL PATH PHASE I: CHOOSING A VOCATION (p. 23) and select a vocation from an open path. That will be your 1st season.
Sure can answer some questions!! There are two levels below poor, they are squalid and wretched! Most of your background time is spent serving in one or more vocations. A vocation is a job or activity in which you spend most of each day performing. Similar vocations are grouped into paths, which share a significant common element in some way. There are several different types of paths you may choose to spend your background time in. Collegiate Path. You may decide to attend an institution of higher learning. This path is optional and comes with special entrance requirements, costs, and rewards. This path can only be selected during your 1st season. Vocational Paths. These paths form the largest type and span a wide variety of activities. This group contains two different subtypes: open paths and qualified paths. The difference between them is the entrance requirements. To join a vocation from a qualified path, you must pass a test — otherwise, you won’t get the job! Vocations in open paths do not require a test to enter and may be taken by anyone at any time. If you fail the test to join a qualified path, you must choose a vocation from one of the open paths.
Ok...looks like I got my 5 people!! Thanks for applying. For anyone else still interested, please drop by as I would like to get together another group or 4-5 people for another "live" character building. For this round, I have: Oceanshieldwolf
On for the next group I have, so far: Dejoker
Thanks all who are interested!! I hope it works out ok. I will get back to the second group once the first has gone through and any suggestions/problems have been worked out. For the first group, please report to the Discussion board. We can start with whoever is available and as you become free, we can work on your backgrounds. Daniel
Looking for 4 or 5 people to try out a new system of character generation. Call the Lifepath Backgrounds, by Tim Cox, is an attempt at adding a richer character background, including advantages and disadvantages, in much the same way as the RPG Traveller creates its characters. I will be using D&D (Olde Sword Reigns) as the base game and if we decide to run a short adventure with our newly made characters, it will be based in the World of Blackmarsh. Does this sound interesting to anyone...let me know and we can try out this new method of character creation!!
Calhoun steps back and loosens his sword in its sheath. In a calm, even tone he confronts Slygol. "How dare you threaten a holy man in his own temple. Replace that weapon back into its sheath and step back, or I will be forced to thrash you for such blasphemous actions. " Not taking his eyes off their newly acquired "friend", Calhoun speaks to the priest. "I am sorry your holiness. This man is not known to us and does not speak for us and if he does not listen will not be leaving the cellar with us!"
Ford heads out with a crew of workers to look over the cleared space and make any improvements he can think of to their new fields. Base Dice (Wits):
Push Rolls

OK, how does this sound... Returning to the city after his battle with the demon apes, Kugu is almost immediately set upon by thieves. Mongo just happened to be wandering by and saw this crime and saw how the little 'froggie' was hurt and being attacked by 3 thieves, decided to step in and even the score. While wiping up the street with the criminals, Nbazi wanders in and decides to help the wounded grippli, and Mongo follows along to make sure his new buddy is going to be OK.
I would love to get a chance to play this game. I had made a cleric some time ago, but we barely finished the first adventure. Was thinking of perhaps a rogue or sorcerer character...I will roll and see what kind of stats I can work with!! Rolls:
= 10 = 13 = 14 = 14 = 11 = 12 = 13 I live in Northern Alberta, Canada (Mountain Daylight Time · UTC/GMT -7 hours)
Thank you all for your words of support. I really like the idea of Ah-Rekhmire and would like to continue to play him, but will need some help when I make silly errors!! As to leveling up, I will need some guidance as to what I can and cannot do. I was thinking of making a few changes, but I also would like to hear what the rest of you might think...
Ah-Rekhmire bristles at the authority in the voice and it DEMANDING that he enter the ship....on the other hand, as he scans the sky for enemy vessels he realizes that he does not know this new enemy well and maybe the voice does. Floating into the craft, standing straight with his chin up, the decaying corpse settles into a chair, looks around at the others and confidently states; "I have decided to ride within this ship!"
Brother Theodor takes a deep breath and nods to the others. "Yes, let's go hunting for these bandits...anything to get the stink of that long-horn Breggle out of my nose."
being new to this system I am not sure about the speed of advancement. I usually err on the side of slow growth. Sorry to see you leaving CucumberTree!! I was looking forward to the undead getting to gether and causing some massive damage!!!
" And, of course, your tithe to the church. One must not forget to honour Pater Ecclesia. Prayers will be said for the recently deceased in your name, thus speeding your ancestor to his ultimate glory and showing your own humble compliance to church doctrine." The brother sits back with a slight smile on his face...just waiting to see what his 'friend' has to say about this!
The bright blue bolts which flew from the ancient magicians' hands strike the two drones. The first simply seems to melt, then short circuit and crumble to the ground. The one by the door spits sparks and part of its casing melts, but it still stands. He continues to hover over the gym, looking for other possible enemies. The air about him seems to flutter and gust like the air is holding him aloft. 4 rounds of flight left
For me, it is nostalgia. This is the system I played for over a decade! I played the weak wizard with only 1 spell...and the strong, yet dumb fighter. When the PHG came out my group was in awe of the paladin and ranger...and the bard was a class almost legendary in scope.
Now don't get me wrong, I really loved the 3rd edition and now the 5th. Pathfinder kept us going through the 4th edition years, and now so many new games abound, but for me, Old School D&D and AD&D will always hold a special place in my heart! That is why I chose to play OSR whenever I can!! Just my 2cp
great idea Elry! I made Danus as a support healer from the get-go..hence the herbalism and healing focus. I should hope between the two of us we can care for the party's ills (knock on wood!!)
LOL...well if I am able to do that, then I will...is that ok GM? I was not sure that was a thing, but it would be cool...$1000 in golden trinkets upon my person!!! Yes, lets say that, if possible!
Theo looks over to Raff and nods his head. "That sounds wonderful! I will have the same, and as your penance for last night, you can pay for breakfast for us all as a tithe to the church for the praying I am going to have to do to remove this recent stain upon your immortal soul! Brother Theodor takes his wooden holy symbol out and begins to pray for Raff and earnestly asks forgiveness for his sinful ways.
I was looking around for an image of the holy symbol of the One True God, but could not locate one. Therefore, I propose the following... the key at the bottom is specific to the Clavists, or the Mendicant Order of Saint Keye the Chronicler. I would propose that all the sects use the main symbol and then have their group's specific emblem placed somewhere within the cross.
OK...here is some of the basic info for my submission...this is Daniel!!
Hello Friends I have unfortunately had a health crisis come up and find myself needing to step away from the boards for a time while I work on getting better.
Please take care of your selves and I wish you all health and wellness. Daniel

Allen rushes off down the stairs to try and find another body to join their troop. At the bulletin board, he sees an odd-looking creature with too many legs and the torso of some kind of cat. Shrugging, he approaches. "Ummm...hi there. Are you looking for a job? A group of us are looking to work together to find a missing person in an old ancient's ruin. Interested?"
"Greetings Exceedingly Discreet I am Dev Vorn, Captain of a courier ship. We are looking for a man that goes by the name of Harlan and your name came up as someone who might know how to get ahold of this fellow."
"Well that is not too bad...besides we should not be getting shot at while exploring...well not too much anyway. I have my trusty 6-shooter here just in case. So, Mr. Tintoretto do you also work as an examiner?" They walk over to the stairs which will take them to the office area of the building, and hopefully to see Director Justinian.
"Yeah...Yeah...I know. Let's get in there and find a space up front so they will see us first...I mean who else has such a rare artifact!!" Moving through the crowded arena, Allan and Zera work their way to the front of the crowd, to stand prominently before the stage. "Ok, we are here and they see us...now where are they sending us this time?"
Tintoretto!!! No eating the sentient plants!!
Cool...I will DM you some ideas to see what you think!!
