Needleworkers campaign

[Dannyalcatraz]

Clearly, you don't visit knitting sites frequently.

Knitter, please!

I'd go with giving free skill points, and maybe one bonus feat. Or draw up a list of feats that you can somehow relate to needlework, and give them bonus feats, but only from that list.

In other news: I can finally give Dannyalcatraz XP again -- do I use it now, or save it for something even better?

Save for later, when I drop a superior purl of wisdom.

Heh, interesting idea. I think it would depend on what feats (are we talking free choice or feats just associated with knitting?). You could make an argument that Catch Off Guard, Throw Anything, and Master Craftsman would all be almost must haves in such a campaign.

One character from the Bleach anime, Uryū_Ishida, might serve as some inspiration for a heroic soul who also shows skill in sewing. Another idea (prolly more for a spellcaster) might be to play one Fates (as in the mythological spinners of fate) gone rogue.

I am trying to plan a D n 'D 3.5 or Pathfinder campaign in which the local Stitch n' Bitch group goes out to stop whatever is killing all the local sheep.

Better to use a storytelling game for that kind of yarn . . .

Knitter, please!

Those who aren't 'Stitching Americans,' probably shouldn't use that word.

Sir! I DO know my way around a needle & thread.


I'll have you know I have repaired hems, sewed on buttons, and even made pillows.

I did try hooking* once, but found I didn't have the patience for it.

* RUG hooking you dirty minded @#$^&$%^@s! i'm not THAT kind of guy!

I must admit . . . that . . . I am . . . hemming (and also hawing) . . . right now!

"Where my stitches at?"

 

[Desdichado]

Is the rest of the group on board with being the local "Stitch N' Bitch" group? A lesson I learned a while ago is that just because I have another hobby that I think would be really cool to integrate into my RPG game doesn't mean that any of my players will appreciate it. I think my "more realistic linguistics" approach to D&D several years ago got me a bunch of eyerolls, and I ended up having to ditch it and try a different approach altogether.
