And while I'm postin'... :D I would also happily volunteer my current character (Valdaris) for a neutral/evil campaign if one was on, but I would not be too interested in using that character for PvP. Evil campaigns don't necessarily have to be PvP though. There's plenty of other NPCs out...

Doubling is a common method. However, whilst it works in theory, there are a few practical considerations: *It assumes that players have a character with too much money, want to cheat, have multiple characters and that they have accomplices. Unlikely, but still possible. *The money has to come...

“Very well then.” Eleria says with a nod of her head, before she takes a sip of brandy and draws her lute, which is ornamented with finely detailed carvings and gold inlay along the length of it’s frame. Though the instrument is in good condition and already tuned, she nervously plucks at the...

I see the concern. Though, unless you can see something I can't, transferring funds would be very hit and miss (even with an acclomplice) because a character would have a 50% chance of winning at best and could just as easily worsen their situation. Hence the whole nature of the gamble...

I have an idea that would help with that and would like to see what kind of interest there is… Since this is a living world, would anyone be interested in the prospect of a gambling hall in Orussus? Somewhere characters could go between ‘quests’, with games that are entirely dice based and...

A young elven female enters the inn. She is quite diminuitive and has pale, unblemished green skin and a slender figure that demonstrates a certain grace about her. Her features are elegent. Her curious eyes are green and she has brunette hair that comes a third of the way down her back...

“Well… at least you know he’ll watch out for you. Good friends can be hard to come by.” Valdaris muses over the situation with a shake of his head, making sure to avoid any potentially inflammatory comments, especially in the presence of the volatile barbarian who looked like he could just...

Mistress Eleria Moonsilver (Approved) Name: Mistress Eleria Moonsilver Class: Bard Race: Elven Size: Medium Gender: Female Alignment: CG Deity: Grendath Str: 12 +1 (04p.) Level: 1 XP: 0 Dex: 16 +3 (06p.) BAB: +0 HP: 7 (1d6+1) Con: 12 +1 (06p.) Grapple: +1 Dmg...

A question about characters… In the ‘Guide to Living EN World…’ thread, it says: What happens if a player has two characters that coincidentally complete adventures at the same time? Surely, they would both be likely to head straight to the RDI for another ‘assignment’. Since the RDI isn’t...

Crisis averted, Valdaris breathes a subdued sigh of relief. He was new to this town and this place, and like Kol, he wasn’t thrilled at the prospect of any unwanted attention from the city guard either. And for good reason. Careful not to make it too apparent, he avoided looking in the direction...

Valdaris ignores the interjection from the wizard, writing it off as little more than a distraction. When the hefty looking barbarian speaks, though, and Valdaris catches the fire in his eyes, it dawns on him that maybe the pair of them have some kind of involvement and his fun and games weren’t...

OOC: It can be difficult to convey a mood through text, so allow me to clarify… There is a little ambient tension, though Valdaris isn’t angling for a fight - especially not with a lady. There is something of a repartee between them. Valdaris views Payne with respect and more than a little...

Still feeling the weight of her eyes upon him, Valdaris responds to the young lady in a slightly obsequious tone, “That will all depend on the task at hand m’lady; and if you should be fortunate enough to find a suitable benefactor. What would you say are your talents?” His usually indifferent...

Unable to resist the glare of the mysterious woman [Payne], Valdaris looks up briefly and recognizes her for the first time as she addresses him. He nods his head cordially, about the closest thing to real manners that he is able to muster. Though she was veiled in secrecy, some aspects her...

It sounds perfectly plausible and there’s no reason why you couldn’t do it. You don’t have limit things to just caravans either. Escorting a noble, a press-gang or even a missive summoning characters to another location would serve just as effectively in taking characters to a more suitable...

I would happily be involved in an evil game, provided it wasn't just a mindless hack-fest 'just because your evil'. That kind of thing needs a DM with a delicate hand, some mature players and well-though-out characters with solid motivations. Very rewarding if done well though. RA is right. PvP...

Even at a glance, it's completely apparent that the +2 LA batch is just soooo much stronger than the first. A similar kind of difference to what KB is talking about. As a DM, I would not impose a LA on a character simply because they rolled good stats. Similarly, I don't think that kind of...

Valdaris’ eyebrow perks up at the mention of the word soldier, though he remains quiet. He had served in the army for a brief stint – a time that he would just as soon forget. Besides, most people he’d come across didn’t look upon deserters too favourably. He chuckles with mild amusement and a...

Rolling stats and HP are definitely things that need to be approached with caution. Having players who are discontent with their characters, and therefore the game, because of a few unlucky rolls never does anyone any good. Definitely a strong argument for point buys.

Wow. You read my mind! My TT group got pretty close to a punch-up over that one and it completely broke the game. It reached the stage where two fully grown men were swearing and shouting at each other and one stormed out and refused to communicate with the other for the next week. Fortunately...
