I am so excited for this!! Absolute must buy, and a great idea for the 200th volume! I hope there will be some cool accessories to go along with it, such as maps, etc.
Yasdrol is intelligent, soft-spoken and quiet for a dwarf, prone to fits of forgetfulness. He would much rather spend his time with his nose in a book than speaking socializing with others.
Physical Description:
About six inches too short for a dwarf, and 40 pounds too light, skin a shade lighter than the normal ruddy dwarf, short brown hair and a short round beard, Yasdrol Ingothorn is a bit undersized. Add the fact that he wears a pair of brass spectacles that are slightly too small for his large dwarven nose, Yas’s is far from impressive to look at. Dressed in simple traveling clothes and a worn leather vest, his only possessions are in a backpack stuffed full of scrolls along with his blacksmith’s hammer and apron.
Backgroun:
Born into a family of devout and industrious blacksmiths, Yasdrol was always a little undersized and frail as a child, particularly for a dwarf. The Ingothorn’s were famous for their excellent metalworking for weapons and tools alike, crafting some of the finest armor, and naturally it was assumed that Yas would follow in the family’s footsteps and become a warrior or blacksmith. And although Yas tried, he found himself turning his attention to books and scrolls, preferring to spend his time reading of grand mages and the studies of the arcane. He discovered he was quite gifted, even if could not quite control his magic all the time. Eventually it got to the point that he was neglecting his apprenticeship and work. He gained a reputation as a bit of an absentminded forgetful, sometimes negligent individual, having burned down the family blacksmith shop, twice. Yas finally decided to abandon his career as a blacksmith and instead travel in hope of becoming a great wizard. And what better place to learn to and master magic than the great city of Absalom?
Upon reaching Absalom, however, things have not quite gone to plan. It turned out to be harder to gain admittance or even considered by any of the magic schools without proper credentials, and any attempts to study new scrolls or magic items seemingly ended in failure more often as not. As a last resort, Yas tried to become an initiate with the Pathfinder Society, figuring that at the very least he would absorb some learning from the many magic users in the society’s ranks, and possibly even gain access to powerful magic artifacts.
It seemed though, that Yasdrol’s forgetfulness and limited magic skill was more of a liability than an asset; after a few errant magic missiles left his first adventuring party stranded on an island up the Lost Coast, and another spell gone wrong resulting in an accidental cave in, Yasdrol Ingothorn found himself no longer welcome at the Pathfinder Lodge…
Very interested in participating. Love the idea of Pathfinder rejects playing outside PFS rules. Longtime PF fan, just not had many opportunities to play in person, and this would be my first play by post game using PF2. Used to play in the PBP rpgs forums popular ten years or so ago, so I'm familiar with third person present tense. Looking forward to working up a character and possibly playing with you.
A little late, but adding to the chorus of missing the pawns. Was my favorite accessory. I have regular minis, but Pathfinder has a specific art style that I enjoy and prefer over say DnD's art, and loved being able to put that on my table.
Just one more example of why I will continue to support Paizo. You truly do seem to care about what your customers and community want and need. Although I dont always agree with every single choice, you definitely have a customer for life. Thank you!
Totally would be interested in playing in a game. Just moved to the Louisville area a couple months ago, but have been itching to get into a Pathfinder/Society game of some sort.
