So I've been preparing to run the CotCT adventure path for the past few weeks, and finally decided to sit the group down and create characters. Only three of them managed to finish.
What my players came up with shocked me, as they apparently decided to make the easiest tie-ins I've ever seen. Perhaps they used their own Harrow deck to know the outcome of this AP? In any case, I was highly entertained and thought I'd share.
The first to tell me their ideas came at me with a back story of drug abuse. Apparently, while working as a dock worker in Old Korvosa, he became addicted to Shivers. Getting lost in the drug and no longer able to keep paying, he began looking to Gaedren Lamm to support his habits.
Now where can I possibly find a dockside solution to acquiring Shivers? *evil grin*
The second player decided to become a cleric of Pharasma. He wanted to know if there was a way he could live in the Gray District and hunt necromancers who are digging up body parts. *blink*
The third player actually created a member of the Korvosan Guard! She looks up to Sabina Merrin as an idol, and specifically asked if she could take orders from Field Marshal Cressida Kroft.
Players can make it all too easy. Edge of Anarchy is going to be fun.
Very nice!
It is great when the players actually read the stuff you give them and are inspired by it.
