So if Common is just a semi-functional language (like a pidgin or traders' tongue, NM?) what would be the native language for a human in this region? Because I guess Catrin would speak that... :)

That all sounds great! :) I bet Catrin's grandmother has held on to that realistic picture and keeps it somewhere in pride of place, even though Catrin's at an age where a four-year-old picture embarrasses the hell out of her. (Catrin's grandma is a lot less sniffy than her mum.) I'm imagining...

Well I'm really looking forward to meeting you visitor types in-game. :D I think it's great having some characters who already know each other a little, and others who are total strangers. Especially now when we've got at least 3 pairs of characters who know each other quite well in one way or...

Aww, I like Kardus's mum already! :D

Hey Derrick - sounds like a good idea if my old soldier is your cousin Willem, yeah. As for sitting for portraits, sure (sounds like the kind of thing Catrin's mother would be into!), but Daffyd would probably remember Catrin as not the best subject. Restless, eager to get out of there, very...

I'm excited to get started, too! :) In the meantime, though: so Catrin knows Kardus quite well (what with having grown up together, and all) and might well know Daffyd and/or Dalen, at least in passing, since they're well-known figures in the village. :) They're more her mother's generation...

Sounds very cool! By the way, I have vague ideas that maybe her father isn't dead, and may not be/have been the lily-white heroic type her family has made him out to be. But I shall leave that in your capable hands, DM. :D

No worries, I know from experience what hard work it is to do that stuff! I'm just mightily curious, especially since what I've read of the setting is so intriguing... More importantly though, does the sketchy background I've written for Catrin fit in with your thoughts? :) Everybody's...

Solos - yeah, sounds like Catrin and Kardus could know each other quite well! Especially since they have fairly similar backgrounds, religious family ties and possibly closer to grandparents than parents, and are of a similar age. I can definitely imagine Catrin spending a lot of time with...

Hello Hive, I am here, and I am bored! How are you all, folks?

LOL, cool! :) By the way, Derrick: since Daffyd and Catrin have both lived in the valley area a while, I wonder if we might have come across each other before? (Heck, he might even remember when she was born...)

Catrin 17-year-old Catrin is the daughter of a preoccupied local priestess, raised primarily by her grandmother, who lives in the village. Her father was a soldier who died not long after she was born - or so she’s told. Since childhood she’s been tomboyish and outdoorsy, and though expected to...

Hey, guys! I'm working on a human fighter - putting together the stats isn't a problem but it would be really useful to know just a little more about the setting. What sorts of religions do you have, NM? (Particularly interested in LG/NG religions.) How big is this village? What's the local...

Just having read your house rules... er... maybe not! Might aim there, though. Now, do I go cleric or fighter, I wonder? :D

Email winging its way! :D I'm also kind of tempted by paladin at the moment - it's a long time since I've played and I'm not quite sure where I'm going to land yet - paladins can be quite fun as I recall. Not much space for a paladin in a little farming village I guess, but maybe we can work...

Oh my God, hi Dragongirl! How are you? I joined a few months before you and Horacio went away. I remember happy times in those very early and long-ago Hivemind threads, must be four years ago by now... Oct 2002, I think I joined. Zander, it wasn't me you met, it was a lovely Australian girl...

Who I am indeed! I'm randomling! Former Hive Queen! (Very former, sadly...) Oh, and I'm also someone who needs help with the point buy system. I've sold my D&D books, it's not in the SRD and I can't remember! :(

Hi Notmousse - I'd really like to play, if you've still got slots! I've only got access to whatever's in the SRD though, as I don't have any D&D books at the moment. Will that be okay? :) I'm tempted to play a fighter - would that be okay or are you desperate for spellcasters?

"The Hive is dead"? What the heck is going on?! Hello Hivemind, how is everybody today? It must be months since I've been along this way! I'm coming back... I'm coming back.... be warned Hivers...

*pokes head in* I think I need Hivemind silliness tonight. Bloody world. How's everyone?
