I have this character that I would love to play in a pbp Kingmaker or Serpent Skull. I just need to pick a Kingmaker trait. This character was made with a 20 point buy (typical in most pbp).

Ive never done pbp yet and my RL group has scattered due to RL scheduling difficulties this past year. We were in the middle of the first Kingmaker installment, but I can keep player knowledge out from character knowledge.

If you have Paizo's Gnome book, this character is from Umok and I'm a non-animal companion druid (Nature Bonded a domain). I have a rough sketch of his personality but would rather send it out to you in an email if thats at all possible.

Truth be told I made sure to take my sweet time with the game. Wasted more than a little time on the lost viking arcade game ;)

Me too, but not the viking arcade game. I dont understand why folks would want to rush this epic story :). I also try and get all the secondary objectives done each mission too, so im in no rush.

You don't need a reliable online connection in order to play, do you? Like Steam or any of that crap.

You need to log in to battlenet when you start the game, I dont think you need the connection after that, I dont think itll eject you from the single player campaign if you time out or lose internet stability.

Multiplayer of course is another thing.

Personally, I dont like 3rd party frontends like Steam or Games For Windows, etc. Battlenet works the same way but its not 3rd party. If you have your friends "Battlenet Real ID" then you can communicate with them over any Blizzard game (WoW, SC2, etc). I see most publishers going this route also for authentication/combat piracy reasons as well.


The "waiters" are missing out. Its not $180 for a complete game, the first is 26 missions a full game by itself. As someone said, the original was 30 missions with all three races.

This time around, Starcraft is even better IMHO.

Spoiler:
You now operate out of the Hyperion Battle Cruiser (stolen from the first game) and there are multiple levels on the ship that you can interact with npcs and buy/research things, all this is done in-between actual missions....

1) Go down to the Armory, spend your credits on permanent troop/building upgrades.
2) Go to the cantina, spend credits and hire out Mercenary Squads (sorta like Hero Units, one time fee, permanent access afterwards).
3) Go to the Laboratory and research Zerg or protoss inspired upgrades to your units/buildings (love the automated vespene gas refinery btw). These dont cost anything, you buy these with the zerg/protoss relics you accumulate during the missions themselves.

and dont even get me started on the cutscenes, there are so many blizzard quality cutscenes within the game. Before and after every mission. I cant believe how much they packed into a single dvd. All this is definately not a partial game. :)


Actually went to my first midnight gamestop release for this. :)

game looks great at 1680x1050 ultra high. played through the tutorials because im too afraid to start the campaign because I need sleep!

Nvidia users update your drivers if they arent current, SC2 didnt like my older 197.13 drivers.

That's fine. But can you choose a portrait for your character alias?

couldnt find anything I liked, ill choose one anyway.


BTW, I also assumed you would be using max starting hp. If not I can edit the profile.


Ormrotor Hooslehawk of Umok, Gnome Druid at your service.

I didnt include a basic personality for him because I thought it would be more fun to let it unfold as the group gets to know eachother. If the GM wants to know more let me know where I can send an email. Hope thats ok. :)
