Characters from ForceUser's Vietnamese Story Hour

[Vymair]

As a player in this game, I thought I'd post my character (Han Vinh) here and encourage others in the campaign to do the same. Periodically, I will post higher levels of Vinh (should he survive) to show his growth path.

Note: All starting characters in this game were 28-pt buy and human (by rule). Going forward, we are switching to what we call organic 28-pt characters which is a method we adapted from these very messageboards.

[Spatula]

One thing I've wondered reading this (quite wonderful) story hour - is the aristocrat (Tran I think?) a PC or NPC? And will we see his stats at some point?

 

[ForceUser]

Poor Tran is an NPC, and unfortunately for him, his stats will shortly be irrelevant...

Note: All starting characters in this game were 28-pt buy and human (by rule). Going forward, we are switching to what we call organic 28-pt characters which is a method we adapted from these very messageboards.

I haven't been able to find a reference for the "organic 28-pt" mehtod. Would someone be willing to post a synopsis?

Thanks!
