General Discussion Thread IX

I know that I'll probably be retiring ao'Thuir when he is done his current adventure (if he doesnt get himself killed first).

Well, failed this time. But still got some time

I'd be disappointed to see aoo'Thuir go. I really like the sound of the Ghost Tribe elves. Do you have any background on them Erekose? I think LEW needs more setting flavour, tribes, cultures, things like that. Not with crunch, just flavour, like smooth peanut butter.

With an great adventure that is actually moving at quite a clip I am getting more attached to him. I am leaning towards retirement because his first two adventures took so long and yeilded little (Jaan was the only character who has been around as long and advanced as little). That and I do want to try out the LA races available in the setting (like half-giants ).

The ghost tribe originally came from an idea I had about a small number of wild elf tribes living in a frontier area to the north. Strong tribal relations decreed that any elf left alive after an entire tribe was wiped out became an outcast, a member of the Ghost tribe so to speak. So ao'Thuir is from a deceased tribe and has been wandering the lands looking to join his family in honourable death (thus his rather suicidal outlook). I've only written a tiny bit about these elves in his background though.

Thanks. Its always nice to get some feedback in pbp. Good feedback is especially nice. We came off the boil a bit after the crash, but I am hoping to crank up the gas again.

Yeah, I know the feeling. Hopefully Jaan's career should take off a bit with his current adventure. And perhaps I will feel differently after it is concluded.

Would there be that many cases of whole tribes being wiped out? I like the idea of a clan comprising of outcasts though. Perhaps dedicted to somehow attoning for whatever casused them to be cast out. Taking a front line role in defending the other clans could be a significant part of that attonement.

Fluff proposals are just as needed as mechanical ones, if not more so. You should try to put a little more of them togeather. I know I've used the Freefolk in an adventure and a character, as has 1 other character, not sure if more people have, I'm also going to be using Rheim soon.

Of course, I'm trying not to have too many proposals out at any one time, I have 2 out there at the moment, both are a bit mechanicaly daunting, so I understand they might take a while, though one might give Jaan something to think about as far as advancement.

I know that Dance of Souls is, for all purposes, concluded, but by my count, that's still 20 active or nearly active adventures. Living EnWorld Lives!

 

[GnomeWorks]

It's been nearly three years and we're still going strong.

That's pretty good, I'd say.

 

[Dungannon]

And we came thisclose to having what I believe would've been our first crossover.

Hmmm?

 

[Knight Otu]

Rats in a Maze/Dance of Souls. The two parties could have easily met.

 

[Animus]

Hey Gnomeworks (or whomever else can answer this),

Are the Delmontes Technique feats fighter feats as well? If so, there is no indication that they are.
