Hey folks, sorry for the stall. I think about the game tons, but my time to post is shrunk down to nothing - rest assured, however, that I'm here in spirit and will push this along as soon as I can.

Atanatotatos · 6th February 2009, 02:52 AM

Sigh...

Sparky · 9th February 2009, 12:19 AM

I know, I know! RL is not being as cooperative as I'd hoped. I'll just have to admit that I won't have it wrapped up with a nice little bow as soon as I'd hoped and get back to the business of DMing this very promising game.

SOUND OFF FOR ROLL CALL!

By Bahamut's platinum scales, I'm still here! Heskrash growls. Somehow, speaking the oath in dwarven seems to lessen its power.

Atanatotatos · 9th February 2009, 10:13 AM

Still here in this gloomy place...? sighs Belleros.

"I'm doing science, and I'm still alive," Mask asserts cheerily.

nerdytenor · 9th February 2009, 05:13 PM

Krik grunts grumpily, a slight frown on his face.

Sparky · 10th February 2009, 09:21 PM

Excellent! Post in-coming.

Sparky · 11th February 2009, 04:50 PM

I opened recruitment to get a new player or two into the game. I figure this'd be a good time to also let you guys tweak your PCs if you're so inclined (what with new classes and such). Let me know what your plans are, since new folks might also want to know what class composition they're looking at.

Shayuri · 11th February 2009, 05:51 PM

*pines for Arcane Power*

Atanatotatos · 11th February 2009, 05:58 PM

Yeah maybe with Arcane Power in my greedy hands I might change my mind about something too

renau1g · 11th February 2009, 07:48 PM

So it seems you're in lead of a fearless leader to carry the torch and light your way? Perhaps I can be of some assistance? If I understand you play 2 PC's? 1 of heroic tier, the other of higher level?

Sparky · 11th February 2009, 08:20 PM

Yes, a leader would indeed mechanically round the party out. But don't feel constrained if you want to play something else. Anything at all. This campaign is an exercise in 'yes.' All ideas are welcomed, though, subject to standard DM approval.

Also, the Mythic PC is not meant to be played (I highlighted that part of the note now). It is a world-building tool for me that you provide in the form of a statted-PC from the world's mythic past.

Don't forget the campaign concept. You might read a bit at the inspiration/wool-gathering thread.

renau1g · 11th February 2009, 08:27 PM

Great! Do you allow Martial Power? I have an idea for a Dragonborn Warlord of Kord, Paragon is Battlelord of Kord, Epic is Demigod.

The goal is to have him as an exarch of Kord by the end.

Atanatotatos · 11th February 2009, 08:32 PM

Welcome in rena! Though it had come to a stop for a while this is a great game and i'm sure you'll enjoy it too!

renau1g · 11th February 2009, 08:48 PM

I've been hoping to play a warlord for a while and think my semi-beserker reckless DB might fit well. He'd be from the Dragh clan (as he's no follower of Bahamut).

Can the two PC's supposed to be related at all? As I see my PC trying to follow in his idols/hero's footsteps.

Sparky · 11th February 2009, 09:07 PM

Sure, I don't own Martial Power yet, but I have a D&Di subscription, so I should be able to look up anything I need to.

The Dragonborn in this setting...

...Belong to one of two clans, the Balash or the Dragh. The Balash were in Naedur at its founding. The Dragh wandered the Underdark for centuries before finding Naedur and are in the tense process of integrating themselves into the rigid Naeduri culture.

...Have an instinctive ability to find suitable mates with whom they will create strong, viable offspring. These mates are not necessarily of their choosing (on a conscious level). It's referred to as Bonding. This has served the small clans well in decades and centuries of isolation. If you've read Elfquest, it's like Recognition. If you have any questions about it or thoughts on how you want it to apply to your PC, let me know.

hafrogman · 11th February 2009, 09:23 PM

Well, you say "one or two" new PCs. . . if you lean towards two, I'd be interested in joining as well.

For the mythic persona, I'd be interested in stating up the briefly mentioned Ehrero Khan, if you don't already have a firm idea of what he was. I'd probably stat him up as an Orc Paladin. . . a zealot conquering in the name of his dark god.

As for my character. . . well it's long been my dream to play a goblin in one of your campaigns. Or, well. . . it was an idea I had once before, five years ago.

I thought that there might have been a very small community of goblin prisoners/slaves in the city when it was sealed. Over a thousand years it has continually declined until only a single one remains in the city. Long since assimilated into dwarven society, he knows nothing of being a goblin. The dwarves still mistrust him on an instinctual level, although none have lived long enough to remember the crimes of his people.

If the goblin idea conflicts a little too much with the established information, I would also be interested in one of the dwarven citizens, pulled into whatever events follow by mere dint of being present.

Either way, I'd probably go with a striker of some kind or other. My theme would be an exploration of racial identity and stereotypes. The goblin would be unsure of what his own race means, while the dwarf might be an outsider in his own people.

renau1g · 11th February 2009, 09:25 PM

So should I work my PC to be down in the hole with the rest of them? I think he'll be from the smithy group.

Edit: Also, relating to the Bonding, I'm thinking that my PC will fight against it as he sees it as not having control of himself.(assuming they are aware of this)

garyh · 11th February 2009, 09:36 PM

I was just noticing the recruiting thread and was going to see if there was room for Resolute to join.

I see you've got renau1g interested in a dragonborn warlord, but if there's room, I'd be interested in the warforged warlord idea I'd had. It'd be two warlords, but my warforged would be tactical, and I assume the renau1g's dragonborn would be inspiring.

Let me know!
