Vanyc's page

Do you need me to make any major changes to Vanyc?

Yeah, first thing I will be doing methinks is researching any new DM. Have applied for a number of PBPs now, and the Evil campaign that I found myself in unfortunately fizzled out after about a month. Vanyc on the other hand is having a hell of a time getting any gaming time, just doesn't seem to be appealing to anyone to have a gnome sorcerer who wants to make potions all the time in the group.

Aye it was indeed odd that he suddenly dropped off the face of the earth. I have the basic stats sorted, dropping a point of strength and dex. I think that then brings him in line with a 15 point buy

The game is based on a 6 player build and I recently had to kick 2 players and another left before due to their unacceptable behaviour and flaming.

I am looking for 3 (possibly 2 if Lukan returns) and the current character classes are below:

1. Human Ranger

2. Half-elf Cleric of Cayden Caylean

3. Human Bard (Arcane Duelist

Here's more info:

1. download the free kingmaker player's guide to help with character creation and to tell you what it's all about.

2. Character creation I will only be judging backstory and the character's motivation. Do they merely want to tame the land or hope to get something else out of it?

Rules of creation:

15 point buy (i'd like to see roleplaying with any stat dumping, not stat dumping for the sake of stat dumping. Low charisma = either a ugly and/or shy character and so on with other stats.) also characters are still 1st level and I have a group xp so everyone will have the same xp. If they happen to level then I'll update telling you all.

Alignment: any non-evil

Classes: core, APG and UM (NO ultimate combat or any other sources)

Races: core races but others could be approved on a case-by-case basis dependent on background and the race.

Feats: Any within reason and if your character meets the prerequisits. Any feats from outside of the sources mentioned under classes will be discussed over.

Traits: 2 traits, one must be a campaign trait

Starting Gear: Anything within reason. Average starting cash for the class.

Notes: I'll be leaving this open for a week, however I will close sooner as I hope to have the replacements back at Oleg's to meet up with the group and then write out the other characters.

On a final note, no restriction on where your character comes from within reason and your traits too. As long as it's somewhat believeable that your...

I would like to present the character of Vanyc to the game if I may. Built on a 20 point buy so would need a little tweaking.

Ok. A whole week without news from the GM. If this continues until friday, we will post a GM recruitment post again. Alright?

Dog of War: We truly want you back!

Aye, Dog of War we would like you back, but the fact you have disappeared on us is slightly disheartening

Slightly worried in the lack of movement here!

Mm... Hello?

I am sure he will get back to us as and when he has a moment

It's okay, guys. My weekend wound up busier than expected anyway. I would like to get everything finalized in today or tomorrow, though. I'm hoping to get the game started soon. :)

Any movement on the game? Am rather eager to start is all, and not knowing what is happening is making Vanyc nervous.

I have recently started DMing a game with totally new players to any kind of roleplaying game, and found that there was a huge amount of scope to be found within using only the core rule book and the bestiary.

Whilst it is possible that the Core Rulebook might be a fairly intimidating book, the characters only really need to know the first 5 or 6 chapters in order to be able to almost totally gen up characters, as they will not be doing much in terms of magic items for quite some time.

The APG, UM and UC are all amazing books and I would wholeheartedly recommend them all, but at the very beginning there is not much need for them. Let the players get through one campaign first, and then maybe introduce all the other options.

Ultimately though, you know your players best. If you don't like any of the advice given to you here, then feel free to throw it all out and do it your way.

After all remember Rule Zero. Your game, your rules.

Jestem, I looked over Vanyc, here are my comments so far. I have not yet looked at his gear or spells.

** spoiler omitted **

Thanks!

The middle aged template takes 1 point from all physical scores and adds one to each mental score. I created him using a basic 20 point buy and then added the template at the end of it. Will look at the rest soon

EDIT: Looked over other areas you asked me to look at, I believe he is properly made now.

Okay everybody, I'd like to go over the sheets carefully this weekend, so if possible, please try to get everything 100% completed (including backgrounds and full equipment lists please).

Assuming everybody gets his sheet done today or tomorrow, we should be able to kick off the IC thread early next week. :)

Alright, as far as I can tell my sheet is done. Avatar is finally up and everything. Sorry about asking about it, must have been having a bad day or something

"Wow, a lot of short, stocky people coming along on this charter," says a slim human as he rests against a wall, a longbow gripped in his dexterous hands.

OOC: Still working out the final changes like gear and what not and then he should be ready.

Perhaps we are short, but at the end of the day, the tree that grows the tallest has the hardest fall

A gnome steps out of the shadows, simple robes covering his frame. A pony follows him at the end of a rope, full saddlebags evident.

My name is Vanyc, I do believe that I am to be a companion of yours whilst we explore the Stolen Lands. What do you believe our chances to be of survival? I hear that many other groups such as ours have succumbed to those Lands

Jestem, don't forget an avatar for Vanyc. I will need a pic so I can make nice looking battle maps. :)

Yeah I am struggling for nice gnome images that I like. Am still looking though.

Main thing is though whether the character is ok?

EDIT: Can't seem to add an avatar to my character, it keeps on adding it to my original username rather than having it as an alias specific thing sorry. Any help would be appreciated.

It is with great anticipation that I, Vanyc present myself before you and hope that you will find it to your liking to include me in the brave and intrepid party that will explore these beautiful lands that many would consider Stolen. I would call myself a dabbler in the arcane arts, and one who would like to expand his currently not particularly formidable skills
