[Game Closed] Dead of Winter: DnD3e-CoC Game in the Forgotten Realms (IC Forum)

"outlaw"

Perivas, given your outlaw leanings why not pick a rogue as your class? Seems like a nice way to round out the party.

 

[Rorschach]

Indeed, something sneaky and quick would be nice to offset the lummox I've created

 

[bluegreenone]

Can you give us some idea of the logistics of how playhing will work? By email, message board?

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Sure. It will be a Play by Post game located in the In Character (IC) Forum of these boards. Once we're good to go, I'll set up a thread over there for the game and post the first move. I'm aiming for about 3 moves a week — that is, I'll post, everyone will respond, and then I'll post the results and the next move. As far as when the moves will be, I think I'll be aiming for something like having my posts fall on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday each week (although it could just as easily be Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday — either way, Friday will never be a posting day). In the event that people can/want to post more, we can probably go up to four turns a week (MWThSa or SuTuThSa — once again, no Fridays), but that's not my initial intention and could be rather hard to do. It's not going to be the quickest game, in the sense that combat will take some time to resolve, and the game won't be able to be hack'n'slash. This is part of the reason I'm doing a DnD-Cthulhu hybrid — I'm not looking for epic, large scale combats, because they just won't work that well.

Hope this gives you an idea of what we're looking at here and, naturally, I'm open for feedback.

Best,
tKL

Sounds perfect, I'm on the boards most days anyway.

Edit: Don't worry I think I'll just leave my stuff as it is.

Description
Ezra has no memory of his parents, in fact he has no real memory of anything before life at the monastery. His mentor Father Ilith said that Ezra was found in the woods near the monastery, near the bodies of his parents. Ilith explained that it looked like they were killed by goblins, and that it was only by Ilmater's will that Ezra was not killed as well. That was 14 years ago. Now Ezra is a promising young student of the Order, and is now determined to go out into the world and experience life outside the monastery for the first time. On the day of his decision to depart, Father Ilith stopped Ezra and gave him a memento of his father that was found near his body, a very well crafted Bastard Sword with the symbol of Ilmater engraved in the blade. Taking this as a sign of Ilmater's will, Ezra named the sword Humility, and began to train himself with the his father's sword. On his 20th birthday, a year to the day he made his decision, Ezra left the monastery to find his destiny.

Ok, I was thinking about swapping my dex (10) and int (8), I'd love the extra skill points and since you said combat will be light... Though I think I will be the main fighter type in the group and skills don't really 'make' the character...

Ah, tell me what you think.

It's your call. That said, there certainly will be combat, and there will be dungeoneering and all that good stuff, so you might want to hold onto the character as is. Naturally, if that's where you want to go, that's where you want to go and I've no problem with that. Of course, that would give the party something close to it's maximum lummox capacity in your paladin and Rorschach's dwarf.

novyet — the character looks good. I'll get you some information tonight about the organization of the Monastery of the Yellow Rose (how many monks, exports, imports, size of library, etc. — all that good stuff). I'll either post it here, or I'll send it over e-mail (were you the one who e-mailed me about the regional information yesterday?), either way, let me know...

So, here's the make-up of the party thus far:
* Sir Zichard Danilk, Human Pal2 of Torm
* Fezzin Verghenheim, Dwarf Ftr1/Clr1 of Clangeddin Silverbeard
* Ezra Geonora, Human Mnk2 of Ilmater (Yellow Rose)

(In case you wonder why I keep on doing this, it's so the make up of the party gets locked into my memory and also so I spell the character's names correctly once we start play. )

As soon as Spoof, perivas, and bluegreenone post their PCs, we'll do a little fine tuning, and then we'll be off....

Best,
tKL

Monastery of the Yellow Rose information will go out tonight (hopefully). Couldn't get the time to hop on-line and take care of it last night. Sorry about that.

Best,
tKL

 

[novyet]

No problem, I understand completely.

 

[novyet]

I got the information this morning, very detailed! I'll be sure to use this, thanks!
