[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6888427, member: 20323"] Thanks for your interest. Well, we've got 5 of the 6 original players back, and waiting to see if [MENTION=6787159]Skarsgard[/MENTION] is still interested. Have you played alongside any of the other players (Queenie, Fenris, Shayuri, Axel, Steve Gorak) in this group before? [B]How do folks feel about potentially adding a 7th player? Too many or is that ok in PbP? [/B] Thanks for coming back Axel. :) I agree, Kynee was well-formed with a good tie in to Talashia's backstory. Having an undefined childhood is apropos to a Witch, and most of the playbooks from [I]Beyond the Wall[/I] aren't an easy fit for Witchers as [MENTION=2820]Fenris[/MENTION] made me realize. Thanks for your understanding Steve! Likewise, I think Ethian has a pretty well-formed background as well, good connection to the setting & adventure, but he could use a better connection to at least one other PC. There's no "druid" or "sage" playbook, and no playbook seems to fit by itsefl. Looking back over your backstory, Ethian transitions from a noble (Northern Angren) > druid apprentice (Posada) > Conclave of Mages in Ban Ard (Kaedwen). So, I'll send you these 3 playbooks: Landless Noble, Initiated Magician, and Apprentice Court Sorcerer. Yep! There's a lot of ways the playbooks can be used, for example, off the top of my head... [list][*]As backstory to further develop your character, rolling or choosing as you see fit (no mechanics) [*]As backstory, with possibly a few new spells or rituals for a caster (like what I was suggesting for Talashia) [*]As a replacement for 5e backgrounds, interpolating the proficiencies granted into 5e terms [*]As something that gets revealed over time around the campfire (see "Campfire Tales" in the OP) [*]Re-write your character using the playbook to grant ability scores, skills (replacing 5e background), possibly some other abilities, and granting a player "to your right" a +1 bonus to an ability score. Basically, going all in with the playbook to re-write your PC's mechanics (and possibly tweak backstory if you want). [*]Don't use them at all! Keep your character's backstory and mechanics unchanged.[/list] Yes... [/QUOTE]
