Sounds like a plan.
Crossed Paths - OOC
- Thread starter Manzanita
- Start date
This is it. I've been waiting to play in such a campaign since I started playing D&D in the 80's.
Do you still have room for one more?
I'd like to play a ranger - with one little twist:
The class will have all the abilities of the 3.5 ranger with a different title, namely: "Philosopher".
At least a certain path of philosophy studies the natural world, and the arcane too - at a higher level (when he starts to get his ranger spells).

I'm not that keen on writing up a personality blurb for Marcus. I think that the value of and RG is in allowing new players (and lurkers) to get a mental image of the people they are reading about. The personality is something you would only come to know over time.
Humm. On the other hand, how about this:
In the eyes of others. Marcus on Mendicus. "Mendicus?" Marcus flashes a grin. "A quiet one. I'm really not sure what he's thinking, but still waters I suspect. Seems devoted to Brioc, although I'm not sure how they came to be travelling together. He's a good man to have around, a few of us have reason to be grateful that he was watching our backs."
In other words, each of us writes up how we would describe the others in the group if asked. I'd be really interested to see how Marcus is perceived. (Not so keen on having to write up something for everyone else but
)

new player
I'm flattered to be approached by an eager player, Wysisyg. I'm reluctant to accept a new player out of the blue, though. We had discussed recruiting a month or so ago, when we let a new player in for Tullius. The consensus seemed to be that six was a good number of players. I'll give this some more thought. If anyone wants to comment on this, feel free.
As for the rogue's gallary, I agree that a personality description is superfluous. This group has gamed together for some time. And new characters will define their personality with their actions. A simple physical description and list of obvious equipment would suffice, I would think.
I like Doghead's idea of describing others. We'll just make that voluntary, to describe anyone you like. Perhaps I'll do that for Mendicus...
I'll get a RG link up as soon as I start the thread.

I'll get something up in the rg thread this weekend hopefully.
OK. My thoughts. I think 6 is a good number of players. More players that tends to make for longer turn around times and a slower game. I have also found there is a greater risk drop out amoung new members. There is an initial flush of excitement (I still remember it) but then other things came along, other commitments come a calling. Established members have shown that, barring RL events, they have made a place in their schedules for checking in. Of course, I realise that all established members were once new.
On the other hand, RL events do claim the best of posters. So there are reasons to keep a small surplus of characters. Particularly if the player is keen enough to post up in the ooc thread on their own initiative.
Sorry WYSIWYG. I realise that that is not great for you. But its not personal. There won't be any bad feeling from this corner of cyberspace if Manzanita takes you on. Indeed, it is a great game and I understand your interest in playing it.
