[QUOTE="Thanediel, post: 1859230, member: 26038"] [COLOR=Orange] Well, well, look what I found.. :] Hi folks, I’m the player behind [B]Pelrind[/B] and I guess our DM didn’t expect us to find this :cool: Don’t mind his remark about English, all of us are at least familiar with it (hard not to given all the books use it) and some (our DM included) are considered fluent in it. None of us wrote our background in English though. I’m not surprised though. It’s one thing to speak 21st century English technical lingo in your daily job, it’s another to write a medieval heroic-fantasy story that will catch the attention of native English speakers. Knowing our DM, I bet he must be worrying sick about doing a quality job :heh: He is quite the prolific writer already, you have no idea :uhoh: To give a example, when we prepared for this campaign, I received - 22 pages about character creation (including house rules) - 5 pages on the kingdom’s history - 18 (!!!) pages about the Stone Elves’ way of life As for giving credit.. I can’t say for sure about Eirak or Kalveig’s players. Both are good writers and, knowing them, they probably came up with their basic background on their own but I bet Mort “enhanced” them a bit at the very least. [I]Behind the scene[/I] parts are certainly his though. Neither Musadoc, nor Siubhan’s players had written anything. The former because he was still a newbie at the time, the latter because she didn’t want any. I know because they told me. So, those backgrounds are 100% from our DM. I must say, it’s fun to learn finally about Musadoc’s “pal”. It took us more than a year “in-game” to figure it out but we shared a few good laughs along the way :lol: As for me.. I remember telling Mort about wanting to play a Druid that would concentrate on elemental spells and not give a damn about animals/plants. Two days later, I received a full write-up on the Dvorr and his sect :eek: I wrote my background afterward. It makes up some 35% of what Mort posted here and from what I can see, he reworked even that part. So, that’s that. Mort, is it ok if I continue to lurk around? I wouldn’t mind reading about some of our old adventures :o [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
