[QUOTE="JharyOConnah, post: 7871226, member: 7016431"] Steve, love the character concepts. It's actually very Moorcock-ian what you've put together, although I'm sorry I didn't get your reference! 😢 Any of the backstory aspects you mentioned would be cool. As for Moorcock references... Any Elric story. The Corum series (which was the inspiration for the hand and eye of vecna). But also his later works like Blood, or the War in Heaven. Basically there's a huge web of universes with different aspects (extreme law or chaos or a balance between them) and these "gods" play a giant, multiverse-wide chess game trying to control the realms. Players are pawns in this cosmic game. Just like d&d alignment, law can be good or bad. Likewise, so can chaos. Neutral characters believe in a cosmic balance within the great game of law v chaos. Charlotte, if this sounds fun to you you're more than welcome. First level characters to start, but I'm assuming they will be inflated pretty fast (for a post game anyway). Lemme know what you'd like to play and I'll help you spin it into this stuff. Mark, love the character! Fits right into Moorcock or maybe Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials (also a Moorcock inspiration). Perhaps Ralph has been having increasingly similar dreams of traveling in lands he's thought he'd drawn from his imagination but are becoming more and more real. Voices in the dark whisper his name in connection with a great coming war. I think you're already there. Love it! I'm happy to start with three characters, but I'll leave recruiting open for a week or so just to see if more are interested. Cheers! --DM Jhary [/QUOTE]
