In Defence of Chickens - DCC RPG (OOC)

[JustinCase]

Erm, a gongfarmer is not really a farmer. You can learn more about them in this blog about obsolete professions. It's an appropriate job for the character with the spectacularly low Luck score!

Wow, I would never have thought. Drawbacks of being a non-native speaker of English. I like that information; I can see that guy being Jack, the rather timid nightowl who is often forgotten by the other villagers.

Unfortunately, assuming @FitzTheRuke is still up for it, we are already full for this game. I find that anything more than 5 becomes unwieldy for forum play.

 

[jmucchiello]

Not like I'm attached to these characters. Have fun.

 

[turnip_farmer]

If you're still up this game @FitzTheRuke , please shoot us over your characters and we can get this rolling.

Sorry, I've just been swamped last few days. My family of four (and a dog) moved out of our condo, but our new one is not finished construction, so we're couch-surfing. It's pure hell. I do want to play, though. Things will calm down very soon. If I don't post 'em by tomorrow, feel free to let jmmuchiello take my place.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Darn it, I just can't find the time right now. I'll probably have plenty of time next week, but I'm just too busy right this second. I don't want to hold things up any more than I already have, so maybe @jmucchiello should take my place. After all, he's got characters ready to go.

Shoot me a message if anyone drops out and you need someone to jump in.

 

[turnip_farmer]

No worries, I understand what it's like to be busy!

Please share with us names and alignments for those who don't have them yet, and we're about set!

A quick note on alignment. Alignment is not just a label in this game – the gods are real and engaged in a genuine cosmic struggle. Alignment impacts the game, and mixed-alignment parties can cause complications. The most obvious and most likely to come up in play is that clerical healing is less effective on characters of opposed alignment.

Now, I am in no way saying you cannot have chaotic characters. DCC's probably not the game to play if you want a world without complications. Just want to make sure you're making the decision with open eyes.
