Speaking of the short folk... Start the kobold game already! I want to play!

Look for it today.

Count me in Xael. You say the setting will be like James Bond, but in what sort of way? From what I've read it sounds like merc's doing covert op's. Is there also the schmoozing and seducing side of Bond? Will the characters have a 'licence to kill' or be working illegally? If the game is more mercenary I'm thinking of playing a Ranger/Rogue with skills focused more on sneaking and information gathering than on thieving.

Maybe this is going more to the covert op's direction now that I'm thinking it. The characters would be working illegally. The seducing side might be hard to do, as I have already trouble trying to think of a mission, where one could use stealth as well as charisma.

Basically the game is: "Go there and get that Diamond of Super-Demon-Binding from the mega-mansion of the evil red wizard."

I hope this doesn't bother you Timothy, but I'm just not very good at making social interactions (or at least mixing them with stealth/action).

Sounds fine Xael, but if we're mercenary thieves who will we be working for? ourselves, a thieves guild, a government body?

I've thought a bit more about a character, he was a rogue that dealt mainly with "information" but has now added martial and wilderness skills to become a bounty hunter. Prolly a Rgr 5/ Rog 3 with humans for his favoured enemy. Alignment will likely be N - very much a pragmatist and moral relativisit.

Where abouts in the realms will the game be set? I've never played pencil and paper in the realms but I've played CRPG's and used supplements based there.

Well, I totally understand that it's difficult, I think it is oo, when I DM. But I'll stick around anyway, just going more for a dungeon-crawl rogue

You would be working for a bunch of (3) retired adventurers, who get the missions for you. They are the "supervisors". They have 2 groups to do the jobs, and you are the second group.

I'm thinking about starting somewhere in Cormyr, as there are lots of Noble manors around.

At the beginning of the game your characters would already have joined the "organisation", but would really know only what it basically does.

And I'll probably start with very, very simple mission, as this is the first game that I GM on boards. If everything works out fine, I can always put that huge stronghold complex somewhere...

Xael ,should we get to work on characters?

Or are you not finished yet?

 

[Xael]

Make the characters and email them to me please.

I might not post very often now, there's something wrong with my internet connection (again).
