Congrats to everyone who is going to play - looks like you'll have a great game!


Grisham is a dwarf with strawberry blonde hair and pale gray eyes. He has an intricate tattoo on his left forearm – it seems to be a design drawn around some dwarven runes, but he doesn’t leave it exposed long enough for anyone to decipher it. A hint of a silver-colored chain is visible around his neck, but it disappears under whatever shirt he is wearing. He drinks heavily and even other dwarves consider him gruff. He does not discuss his past.

History:
Three years ago Grisham lived in a small village and was happily married to the daughter of the local tavern owner. They had a young daughter, whom he adored. His reputation as a good cook helped the tavern become a success. Then his father-in-law sent him to a nearby town on an errand for a few days. He returned to the smoking remains of his village. There were no survivors. He salvaged what little he could, bought the best weapon he could afford and spent most of the rest of his money having someone teach him how to use it. He is now a dwarf driven by grief and a thirst for vengeance – although he has no idea who was responsible.

Other:
I generally post daily between 5-7am. If things are moving quickly, I’ll try to hop on again in the evening.
Why do I want to be in this? I was looking for another game to pick up & one that is going to last for a while is good – I don’t want to have to find a new one every couple weeks. Must admit, I know nothing about Jade Regent, but I've downloaded the player stuff & started skimming it. I had been hesitate about PbP, but now that I've started, I really like it. The extent to which the role-playing can be emphasized and characters more deeply developed compared to tabletop is my style. In fact, as I am restarting a game I have GM'd on and off for a decade, I'm making it half PbP for that very reason.
