[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 5418581, member: 23484"] Hi there -- First off: [LIST] [*]How much experience you have with Burning Wheel, Burning Empires, and/or Mouse Guard. I own BW, and have played two short campaigns. [*]Generally, what's your prior experience with the Keep on the Borderlands (for Basic D&D) &/or the Return to the Keep on the Borderlands (for AD&D 2e)... And would you be annoyed at "changes" to the Keep/Caves of Chaos? Never played; might have looked at it ages ago, but no real knowledge of setting. [*]Ditto to the general setting of Karameikos, as well as Mystara. Unknown [*]What class/race (racial class, for red box DnD) you'd play if this was a DnD game. And what DnD alignment. I've got an idea for a human cleric/thief -- never a happy combination in DnD, but something that might be possible in BW. Focus on social skills; with only three paths, there might not be any combat skills. Alignment somewhere between NG and LN, but veering towards TN rather than LG. [*]What other PbP games you're a part of, and what amount of PbP experience you have. None currently. Started several here on ENworld, but most peter out too quickly. [*]Why you're interested in this game & what you're hoping to get out of the experience. Honestly, I'm hoping for a pbp game that can continue; play a character that's fun, learn more about the BW system. [/LIST] The basic character idea is this: a human petty thief who lucks into an church position, and balances the obligations of the role with her charm and petty larceny. I guess it depends on what role you want religion to play in the game; it's everywhere in DnD, and so I hope it's viable. Crunch: Village born -- serving wench -- pardoner. (Serving wench has sleight of hand and can access religion; pardoner isn't a spellcaster but has interpersonal skills and the cool trait, pardoner.) General skills needed are some kind of healing (herbalism?) and perhaps a weapon skill (boxing? staff? -- I think she'll avoid fights generally, depending on soothing platitudes and persuasion instead). For Traits, Aura of Innocence. Let me know what you think, and if this fits what you want for the game. KS [/QUOTE]
