[D20 CoC] Beyond the Mountains of Madness Campaign - Recruiting Alternate Players
Drowned Hero
First Post
Im a little confused one where i should post interest in the game.
You sure tell me in time.
I trie to get up the basics today. I was thinking of play Dog Handler/Sled Driver -scout -pistol expert -dog trainer .... let's see how far i cant stretch those skills.
I did play CoC in 1997. face to face in a bunker in santiago of Chile. i had a hell of a time.
I havent meet anyone that has played CoC since then. Untill..... now.
Cool!
Im off to make character.
Appearance: Øyvind is a tall and massive Scandinavian. He is quite reserved one because he does not speak English very well, and second because he is sober.
When drunk, Øyvind tells you all, even the most embarrassing things, the only good thing that it takes a lot of effort to get him drunk.
He gives the impression of being a good person and he is fairly good looking.
Background: It is not that much to say about him.
He drooped school at age 15 and went to work with the Lapp people north of his town.
5 years ago it came a adventurer/explorer to the Lapp lands searching greater knowledge of the aurora Borealis and the people and myths in northern Norway.
He was an Canadian that had a mountain gear store and a book store in New York. Øyvind had been fascinated with the stories John told him in his almost a year long expedition. He had taken with him many books about myths, archaeology, tarot, and such many more books. Øyvind read them all, slowly but he read them all.
Øyvind was now in New York on visit to his friend John, selling him huge stack of reindeer skins. He had seen an ad in the newspaper searching for explorers.
He had been in NY 2 months, and it was time to leave back home or sign up for the adventure of his life.
He send a letter with the Hotel piccolo.

Welcome!
Hello Drowned Hero,
Thanks for joining our team! Later today, I'll take a thorough look at your character sheet and letter to James Starkweather, but it appears that you've covered most of the required details for inclusion in the game. We'll work out any needed changes in this thread.
Once I've approved your character sheet, you'll be ready to begin posting actions in the game.

Øyvind Raknes' Character Sheet
Drowned Hero,
I like your character concept and starting information. Below are a few comments regarding his statistics.
Please post/copy your character information here --> Link to BtMoM Character Thread
ABILITY SCORES: OK
BAB, Lvl, AC, Saves, Sanity: OK
CORRECTION: HP = 30 (see example in the above link)
CORRECTION: Initiative = Dex check = +2
Weapon attacks: OK
Feats: OK
Gear and Money: OK
SKILLS: All OK, except Cthulhu Mythos. Unless there is a very good roleplaying reason for your character to have gained ranks in Cthulhu Mythos, I'd prefer that he start with zero experience with the mythos. Reading books about archeology and tarot, and hearing tales from other adventurers would not improve this skill; you'd need direct study of a mythos tome or contact with a creature, and ranks in this skill would directly lower your sanity score. Since Øyvind has a low starting sanity of only 50, I'd recommend that he not have any Mythos skill, but if you strongly feel that your character concept definitely needs some Mythos skill, I'm open to further discussions about it.
And how exactly do you pronounce Øyvind?
I'll try to work up a response from Starkweather to your letter in the next couple of evenings, and then you'll be ready to go!

THANKS!

character is fixed
Øyvind... hmmm not being english my first languge, i think you can come pretty close by saying Oeywind.
I guess it's easier if the character get a nickname... Wind perhaps? or anything else. we can take it IC, if you like
