And lo, it has begun! Game thread OOC thread

So, this is the thread for the No Hero's Welcome play-by-post game...

A dragon. Staring at the tokens in your hands, most of you seem to have different opinions about the significance of this portent. Or whether the "luck" of the draw is portentious at all. Nevertheless, now that everyone has received his cheap wooden sigil, the different teams come together. In...

Important battles will probably be done on a round-for-round basis. Everything else will be done in a slightly abbreviated manner. You tell me your strategy, which includes both general terms ("I try to keep enemies from fleeing") and mechanical ones ("I'll go for Power Attack 5"), and I'll do...

Almost Done So, I just sent out some mails about missing pieces in the sheets or stories. Not really much to do, I'm quite happy with the info I've got. I've also decided against a common background or a battle that you all served in, although the latter might still come up. So the situation...

They're all in, finally. I'm going through the stories and sheets right now, I'll send you some note as soon as I'm finished and once we straighten things out, I'll post a link to the actual gaming thread here. Looks like we'll be starting soon...

Sorry guys, it was the last of the month and I had to clean out an old apartment, which temporarily brought me into a world without net access, a world not entirely unlike the most dreadful Ravenloft domains... And quite a lot happened in the meantime, of course. Sorry to lose you, Torillan...

I wouldn't worry about that right now. I think most of us probably have other engagements during the weekend (e.g. the usual face-to-face RPG sessions). We'll just have to see what rhythm evolves and what days are better for the very post-intensive parts of the game.

@Voda: Dream dwarves have a rather peculiar background, if I remember correctly. If you just want to avoid the Cha penalty, I'd suggest the gold dwarves, who're basically just normal dwarves that don't seem to drink as much... @Ion: I quickly checked your sheet and story, seems alright by me...

Is this still alive?

No problem at all, Voda. I just said that anyone connected with Air fits in nicely with Sharn, but there are certainly other reasons you ended up here... All characters need to be veterans without much outside support (no big favors from churches, or characters who are ranking members of noble...

You don't necessarily have to _serve_ as a druid in the war, maybe your connection to nature manifested itself when you were doing something completely different. This can be used for other unusual classes, too.

You can use that as a guide line, yes. If you've got some more expensive military issue items or heirlooms (especially if you start out noble), then be my guest. If someone has a wand with a few charges left, that's okay, too. If you can find a good explanation for it and it isn't too expensive...

@Necro_Kinder: anything involving dinosaurs, pirates, robots or ninjas is perfectly okay. So, let me get this straight, up 'til now we have the following roster: frostrune - shifter scout Torillan - warforged special ops Necro_Kinder - warforged druid Nazhkandrias - elven necromancer Voda Vosa...

The skill points get quadrupled at first level (which is your NPC class level, of course). The military background will be the common factor. Sharn has a huge population of refugees and aimless veterans, and this will provide your adventure hooks. Probably also a little conflict, as I think...

@Torillan: Yep, no multi-classing penalties at all. @Necro_Kinder: Well, I don't own Secrets of Xen'drik, so I'm not really familiar with the class. Still, until we get into PrC territory, I should be able to look up the necessary information. I'm a bit strange about prestige classes though, I...

Character concepts are all right here, I just don't think it's necessary for everyone to know all the other stats. And I assume that military types (and RPG characters in general) might have some secrets... Post as much as you want the other players to know here and send me the dirty details...

"No Hero's Welcome" Veterans in Sharn (Eberron) http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=197310 Character creation and setting details in the thread. Still looking for players ;)

I'm currently looking for some players for a low-level Eberron game. The characters will all have fought in the Last War, trying to help out less fortunate veterans. We'll start out in Sharn and will probably remain there for quite a while. I'm aiming for a slightly noir A-Team, without the "on...

Well, I'm still ready to start. And regarding ground rules, I'd say we'll figure that out as we go. Whether we should create posts of Shakespearean length or engage in some Mamet back-and-forth dialogue will depend largely on the adventure. So let's just start ;)
