Thought I'd just let you know about my posting rates in hopes it would get me considered. I can post once a day but I prefer a pace that requires once every 2 days. I am usually very free in the weekends and don't mind gathering up for a posting spree if the other players are also available both in the weekend and the week.
"Well to allow for civilization to prosper of course! A kingdom should be a...barrier between those out there who want to take what they can because they are strong and those who are simply living honest lives. It should be a shield I suppose, so that your people can work in safety and peace. Allowing them to have families, create beautiful works of art and craftsmanship. It's as simple as that as an idea though it's a lot harder in practice. You can make a kingdom all about dynasties and politics but it will start falling apart the moment you forget you are only King because the people who live in your Kingdom feel safer with you than with someone else. At that point your people will leave and find somebody else to follow. A kingdom is an organization on a massive scale, with a very simple purpose, to offer shelter and protection to those that need it and believe me when I say there are a lot of us..uh them out there."
"You say you can help with the defense of the realm? This is good however there are many strong arms. I myself am well versed in combat. Tell me how can you help me make my kingdom better and not just defend it." "Aha! I was hoping you'd get to that eventually. See I have spent most of my life out there in the wilderness. I'm already quite old by your standards, 64 years to be exact! I'm guessing I'm older than you are probably! Anyway my point was that I know what it's like to be out there. I know the life of the farmer, the miller, the innkeeper and the hunter. I know what their dreams and hopes are, I know what they want. They want stability. They want to be able to go about their lives without anybody hassling them, or demanding a few weeks worth of food for not burning their house down. I can help you bring that stability, that peace of mind to your citizens. With me around the hard boot-heel of justice is going to keep the criminal element in check, which in turn is going to allow your citizens to prosper, reach their full potential as it were. On another point, a more personal one. I want to settle down. I need a place to call home and I think this can be it. Here I'll be able to think about more than what to eat next week. I'll settle down as we dwarves do and become permanent fixtures of this city as much as the walls of your castle. When your sons and your grandsons grow old I'll still be here, providing advice. Wisened by time I hope to become an invaluable asset even if I am relegated to smithy work. I will settle down in your kingdom, that's a fact already. The reason I am here talking with you is because I'm offering my skills for you to use, a life time of it."
"Well your honor, or wassit' Lord? King? I dunno' but I apologize if I'm being disrespectful, I haven't much experience with royalty. None at all actually. What I do have is experience doing exactly what a newly established seat of authority like yours need, experience dealing with criminals. And when I say dealing with, I do mean dealing with in all sorts of manners if you know what I mean." Hrane leans back into his chair nodding and raising his eyebrows knowingly, leaving his last sentence terribly vague. "I have a long record with the Brevoyan army and they can vouch for me if you want to." Hrane puts both his weathered hands palm down on the desk and leans forward, sliding them along the fine wood and with a hushed voice says, "But give me a week, and I'll tell you exactly what the most important criminals in town are doing, and how you can stop 'em." Meet Hrane, Dwarven Ranger and bandit hunter. I've never played in any Kingmaker games before but I have a burning desire to do just that. I've submitted this character before in other games without luck and am hoping you'll be just the DM to fall in love with it. I can have the numbers and hard statistics for the character down in a few hours if you need them. Looking forward to seeing how this round of recruitment goes.
Another chance, another attempt! Hrane Throrson was also an applicant to a previous Kingmaker recruitment thread. I recognize quite a few of the others already as well. His stats will simply change to a 20 point buy and look like this before racial adjustments, adjustments in ().
Oh well. I hope you'll keep us mind if players start dropping out. Good luck to the rest of you.
That's really good news. This way if a few of the players start dropping out, you can start merging the party and still keep playing.
Just finished reading through your campaign so far and I feel sorry for the brutality you had to go through so far! It does make me giddy at the thought of joining up though.
I'd love to submit this character, a Ranger with an archery focus that will also be decent in melee. He is a dwarf from a troubled past seeking redemption. The sheet is unchanged with the following exception:
No objections to the decision being made on sunday. Wouldn't mind it being sooner either! This suspense is just killing me, don't think I've wanted to try a campaign out as badly as Kingmaker.
Yeah I can imagine that worked well. This campaign seems tailored for that kind of play. Though I can imagine it took quite some time for the GM to take care of 10ish players and their posts.
That sounds interesting Castor. How did that work out practically? How much interaction between the groups were there? I'm curious because I am getting an itch to DM something and inspiration from anywhere is always a good thing.
Wonderful that you see it that way Xelani. We can be good on our own, but together we can be amazing! I hope that I will also be able to contribute in melee combat of course, but I think that it's really in the time between combat that my character will really shine.
It seems I forgot to save my background. I'll have it back up in a jiffy. Just need to type it up again.
Hello, I would very much like to join this future spectacle with Hrane Throrson. He is a dwarf without a home or a clan to return to. He comes from a past filled with bad decisions and regrets, seeking a new future doing honorable work on the frontier. Mechanical details and background in the character page/profile. I have never played the Kingmaker campaign before but I have heard a lot of great things about it. I can post once per day at the least and prefer a game that keeps a rate of posting at least once per two days. I am also joining for the long run, expecting this campaign to continue for a very, very long time. Mechanically this is going to be an archery focused Ranger with lots of knowledge skills to represent a long life accumulating knowledge. I see a lot of good opportunities for synergy with Xelani's character.
