Krogar's page

I'm sorry to see I won't be playing but I understand.

Congratulations to those chosen and have a great game!

I too will be reading along and stealing (er borrowing) ideas for my own games.

Happy gaming!

Krogar. Unfortunately I couldn’t access the portrait, although the physical description is easily good enough to envisage him. Dipping into barbarian to explain Krogar’s wild battle rage is fine. The backstory is strong. Regarding his ‘the only good orc is a dead orc’ attitude, if think we could make this work but remember this: although Krogar will get ample opportunities to slay orcs during this campaign, there’ll be just as many instances where the caravan is trading with them. They’ll likely be times when the PCs find themselves in an orc chieftain’s court or even in a city of orcs, where drawing steel in anger would be nothing short of suicidal.

Thanks for taking the time to review and provide comments; it seems that we are of a similar mind in how to make the 'mechanics' reflect my story/personality.

I'm glad you liked the backstory and, to be honest with you, I was counting on not being able to apply Krogar's motto with regards to orcs 'all the time'. This will give me plenty of opportunities for roleplaying. I can just see negotiations going on in front of Krogar and the dwarf be ready to fly into a killing rage at a moment's notice. :)

I eventually see the dwarf figuring out that not all orcs as as bad as he thinks they are; key word here being 'eventually'.

Thanks again for your consideration and I eagerly await your character selection.

Are you going to select characters on an individual basis or will you looking to 'balance out the party'?

Krogar,
Our submissions are very close in age and if Krogar was from Vigil there is a chance we may have known one another - or at least each others families. If we are both selected (or even before the selection) it would be fun to develop a common story between the two. Sounds like both our families were armor/weaponsmiths, so it would be safe to assume that, just maybe, our families were in competition at one point?

Hey Dunagan,

You're right and reading your background, it sounds like the PCs probably knew each other. However, I'm going to have to politely decline your offer at this time basically because I haven't received any feedback from the DM. I have also been on the other side of the table and making one character's admission contingent on another PC doesn't really help anyone.

IF, big if here, we are both selected then I would be more than happy to come up with a shared history/background.

Good luck and happy gaming!

@ Krogar - sorry to have missed you, a simple oversight from an inept DM (the first of many I'm sure).

No worries; as stated previously just let me know if you need further information to properly evaluate him.

Thanks!

A revised summary of character concepts submitted thus far...

Hey DM Tadpole,

I hope you skipping right by my PC submission is an oversight and not a deliberate attempt to subtly let me know your feelings on him! :)

All kidding aside, please review and comment when you get a chance. Even if I don't get picked, making a decent, campaign-specific character is lots of fun. The expanded knowledge on Golarion that goes into character making is well worth it.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to your comments.

Happy gaming!

Hey DM Tadpole,

I realize I may be late for a submission but please consider Krogar for inclusion in your game. I believe all the information is in the alias but please let me know if you need further information at this time.

Your campaign is original and your style sounds really good so I hope you get a chance to read what I came up with as I think it's a good fit for what you have in mind.

Happy gaming!
